@fredley Yeah, I couldn't do it.
My theory is that all nurses are secretly undead creatures which feed off the souls of the weak and infirm
 
11:34 AM
@Wipqozn crap. I'm going on a holiday with one next week, how do I keep him fed?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Ask on Lifehacks or Health
 
Ben
PLease tell me people have seen Kung Fury
 
No I will not tell you lies
 
@Arperum This is the answer to everything now.
@Ben Not yet.
I planned to watch it with two friends, but knowing them, they already watched it
 
@Wipqozn Exactly.
 
11:39 AM
They're really bad for sying "Let's do this!", and then just doing it anyways.
It's really annoying
 
Ben
I'm only 5 minutes in and I'm in love
 
@Wipqozn They may just enjoy letting you down
 
And let's all be honest here. Who doesn't enjoy letting @Wipqozn down?
 
Ben
Your mum
Don't worry @Wipqozn. I got your back :P
 
Smacks the meme with a rolled up newspaper
BAD MEME
GO AWAY
 
11:44 AM
passes fake rolled up newspaper made of steel "Here! Use this!"
Weird covers time go:
cc @AshleyNunn This one is multiple degrees weirder.
 
Ben
And I'm watching a guy travel back in time using a power glove to the Viking age where the main plague was lazer raptors. But it's ok. They had automatic weaponry.
So at this current point in time, I don't think the rules really apply
Wait, no... Thor helped out. It's cool
 
I have no idea what you are talking about, but it looks like you are throwing spoilers around, and certain people in this room have said they haven't watched yet. So that's not really nice.
 
Ben
Non-essential to the plot.
If you'd call it that
 
@Arperum Kung Fury. You can probably spoil the entire plot and the show would not make any more sense (or be that much less enjoyable), because the plot is made out of pure nonsense
 
@PrivatePansy That sounds illogical.
 
Ben
11:54 AM
And that's the glory of it
 
Ben
Starred because it is my new fave movie
OMG Arqade movie night! @Ktash
lol
 
Kung Fury is perpetual movie night movie
 
Why are we awake this early? What is this nonsense?
 
It's 2 pm you weirdo
 
12:00 PM
Get out future man
 
Could also be past man
 
That's just silly
 
@TimStone You're silly
@TimStone It's Monday
That's what this nonsense is
 
All the more reason not to be up
 
@KevinvanderVelden YOUR FACE IS A TIME ZONE
 
12:02 PM
@Unionhawk My face is a man-made concept?
 
Yes
Dragons are a man-made concept
Therefore...
 
Seems legit
 
QED
@Unionhawk 1, @HalfLife3 0 (mod abuse: still infinity)
 
Ben
Cool story bro. It even had dragons
 
I wonder if I could fool people with fake mod abuse
Some people, anyway
 
12:04 PM
@Ben And a talking boat
@Unionhawk naah, @badp isn't here yet
 
@KevinvanderVelden You mean throwing a USER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THIS POST won't fool certain users?
>_>
<_<
v_v
 
@Unionhawk This aint 4chan mate
 
What's this about me needing to ban @Unionhawk?
 
@5pike shh
 
12:06 PM
@TimStone just look at his avatar
 
@5pike Also, @badp has definitely used that to indicate his disapproval
 
@Unionhawk Don't shh me, boat
 
So...
 
Hmm, all this talk of mod abuse makes me wonder what happens if I put in a negative number for room timeout...
 
Integer underflow? :o
 
12:07 PM
Presumably nothing, but who knows what could happen!
 
Let's try it!
 
SCIENCE TIME
 
inb4
 
@badp has already shown us what it takes to clear it
 
waits
 
12:07 PM
Nothing happened
 
Damn, it's almost like they knew some mod some day would try something that stupid
 
Not even an error!
 
How boring...
 
They probably figured that mod would be @TimStone too
 
Usually they forget to protect the system against us doing stupid stuff and things break horribly.
 
12:09 PM
> Bug report: Setting a chatroom to a negative time out does nothing.

Expected behavior: All hell breaking loose, answers being replaced with yahoo answers, cats and dogs living together, @badp forgoing mod abuse.
 
Like, uploading avatars for other users?
 
@TimStone They were probably thinking "Nobody can possibly be that stupid"
 
I think that qualifies as doing stupid stuff
 
@Unionhawk I've never tried that, that sounds like more abuse than I'm willing to dish out
 
@TimStone It breaks things horribly and is no longer a capability
 
12:10 PM
@5pike and/or it's just "TimeTillRoomUnfreeze = now() + seconds". => "Oh hey! The room has been unfrozen"

Q: Selecting one uploaded avatar (as a moderator) selects the other/both

fredleyI was editing a user's avatar, and clicked 'Uploaded picture' (the yellow triforce). The preview instead changed to a pink unikitten. Clicking the Change picture button again shows the following: Chrome/Mac

 
I see
 
o/
 
@5pike They know better than to trust me when I'm low on sleep.
 
@Rapitor /o
 
12:13 PM
\o/
 
@Unionhawk You know that strawpoll link was mod-abused right?
 
Everything is mod abused
Mod abuse is love mod abuse is life
It's how we know that @badp still cares
 
But I'm not a mod so its not my life
 
IF NOT FOR MOD ABUSE THEN THE BRIDGE WOULD COLLAPSE
JUST LIKE THAT
 
@Unionhawk BUT WHY
MOD ABUSE BREAKS THINGS
 
12:15 PM
Mod abuse finds bugs
We're just testing the system
 
Like @fredley breaking your profile
 
IF MOD ABUSE BREAKS THINGS, THEN THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED
sage nod
 
Make the system better by abusing mod power
 
Exactly!
 
Jun 8 at 13:58, by Kevin van der Velden
@fredley Yes! The mods are being abused! Someone think of the poor mods who are being abused by not being allowed to do their proper modabusing!
 
12:17 PM
To be clear, no real mod abuse has actually occurred I argue since the incident with that one user who is no longer with us
 
@Unicycle?
 
Actually... one could make an argument about Lifehacks being full of mod abuse, but anyone who cares enough about lifehacks to make that argument should not be trusted
@UniKitty No, @GnomeSlice is still with us you fool.
I think
DID THEY ASSASSAINATE @GnomeSlice WHEN I WASN'T HERE>?
 
@Unionhawk His clone is GONE
 
@UniKitty It's not a clone, it's just @GnomeSlice playing with a literal sock puppet
 
THATS @Unicycle's CLONE
 
12:19 PM
CLOWN
IN THE WORDS OF @GnomeSlice
GO BACK TO CLOWN COLLEGE
 
(AKA a @GnomeSlice)
 
Gnome/Sliced
 
Sliced up gnome
 
But no, different user no longer with us, engaged in actual mod abuse back in the year... 2014?
 
@Unionhawk I think I know who you mean...
 
12:21 PM
WHO IS IT?
 
@5pike You think correctly.
 
@Unionhawk I can think of at least one other instance I would consider applicable but it's not Arqade-related so we can ignore it.
 
Guarantee it
@TimStone Oh the SU guy?
Or was that SF?
I can't keep track
 
Oh, right. That was SF. That's not what I was thinking of but that certainly qualifies.
 
Oh snap more mod abuse?
mod abuse intensifies
 
12:23 PM
On the whole though there is a surprising lack of mod abuse given the size of the network.
 
Yes
Which is a good thing
Actual mod abuse has no place on the network
 
Indeed
 
Pretend mod abuse is fine
 
@Unionhawk But the bugs!
 
We prefer our mods free-range.
 
12:23 PM
@UniKitty @fredley changing my avatar is hardly actual mod abuse
 
@TimStone Your'e a mod
 
I am an enigma.
 
@Unionhawk If it worked? You'll become @UniKitty
 
@TimStone Wrapped in a mystery?
@UniKitty I can revert it. I did revert it.
 
@Unionhawk Only on Wednesdays.
 
12:25 PM
@TimStone Ah
 
@Unionhawk You didn't
 
@UniKitty I did, actually
As you can see
 
not
 
OK
@UniKitty IS BLIND DATA ACCEPTED
 
@fredley Failed and broke it
@Unionhawk NEGATIVE
 
12:26 PM
Well, as you can see, I am using my gravatar
So...
@UniKitty REQUEST DENIED
 
I'll get @fredley to use this
 
...
Is this user even real?
 
Yes it is
 
Is this real life?
 
No it is not
 
12:28 PM
Fucking rate limiter people wake up and talk more so I can talk more
 
This is the world of space shooters
 
Arghifnil;kjas;dfjkasd
 
@Unionhawk Okay
 
YAY
...
 
See! Its a space shooter thing
 
12:28 PM
Go home @Uni you're drunk
2
 
@Unionhawk And I'm sick.
So....yay?
 
@Frank wheeeeeeeeeee
 
No I'm not drinking beer
only root beer
to hack stuff
 
your joke was bad and you should feel bad
 
@Uni Agreed. Its very bad

user image
^ actual footage of @UniKitty
BRIDGE I CAN SEE OUT A WINDOW NOW FROM MY DESK
IT IS GREAT
 
@Unikitty does not wear black
 
Um, I did say actual footage, so clearly...
Your avatar background is black aka fail transparent
So
 
Cats hate wearing glasses
 
@Unionhawk All I see Is a car, a roof and some clouds /:
 
@Unionhawk And NO. I am at home
 
12:36 PM
@5pike Before all I saw was mauve brown cubicle walls that were put into this building in 1985 when it was first occupied
So this is a massive upgrade
Even though I do need to not have Bridge in full screen
@UniKitty Please hold while I invalidate your argument
 
@Unionhawk ERROR INVALID ARGUMENT
 
♪ Hold music! ♪
Thank you for holding. Your call is very unportant to us
 
Hangs up
Slams phone on table
 
Screams in anger
 
12:39 PM
@Unionhawk: like 10? @UniKitty: 1
 
Biznis Kitty
 
And with that diversion done
I need to do stuff
 
Sorry hung up already
 
"Let me just verify your address so I can send you my weight in free sign up CDs"
 
@Unionhawk NO! I never wanted your pirated stuffz
 
12:42 PM
...
 
And you don't know where I live
 
Are you too young for Homestar Runner?
Am I old now?
Ohgod
existential crisis intensifies
 
That is a weird game...
 
Oh god you know it as a game only
Oh god
 
@Unionhawk Oh god I know
 
12:44 PM
@Unionhawk TrueFax: After you have finished reading this sentence, you'll be older than you were when you started reading it.
 
@5pike Meh
I can handle the inexorable passage of time
 
I'm older!
 
BUT PEOPLE BEING YOUNGER THAN I AM
TO THE POINT THAT HOMESTAR RUNNER IS GETTING OLD
 
How old are you
 
I am 21
 
12:45 PM
guess my age
 
@Unionhawk Though technically @fredley missed a H*R reference once, so maybe this isn't an indication of me being old
More likely an indication of me being an American maybe?
Iunno
IUNNO
 
@UniKitty I'm 100
 
@UniKitty seems legit
 
@UniKitty Nah, I'm younger
Below 20
 
nowai
shock intensifies
...ok @Unionhawk, that was rude
Yeah, it was, what are you going to do about it?
 
12:47 PM
@UniKitty Above 10
 
gets in fight with self
 
@Unionhawk fights @Unionhawk
WHO WILL WIN?
 
Going to go with 14 (one four) because if you are under 13 you'd lie about it anyway now that you know COPPA is a thing
So this game is stupid
 
@Unionhawk I still don't really understand Homestar Runner
I watched an episode, watted, and never watched it again
 
@fredley Its a random thing
 
12:49 PM
@fredley It doesn't seem compatible with british humor
 
@Unionhawk No, potentially not
I mean, I sort of get why the Trogdor episode is funny, but not hugely so.
 
Ugh I added a region and a block comment Visual Studio, Y U BUILD
Oh because I hit build not start
What an idiot
 
@Unionhawk Look before pressing
 
@Unionhawk Nah, I've done that.
"Why are you not starting, silly Studio? Start, I said!"
 
Clearly I need more coffee
This coffee is getting cold too
This is the worst
Oct 29 '14 at 16:06, by Origami Robot
COLD COFFEE IS GROSS
RIP @OrigamiRobot
RIP @Lazers
 
12:56 PM
So @OrigamiRobot is the one that's no longer with us?
 
@UniKitty Not specifically no
 
Was his account mod-abused
 
20 secs ago, by Unionhawk
@UniKitty Not specifically no
 
Then WHO WAS IT
 
@UniKitty Doesn't matter.
 
12:58 PM
@Frank YES IT MATTERS
 
There once was a user who was a mod, who one day got so mad that he literally told the bridge to fuck off and went on about how we could keep flagging him but couldn't kill him because he was a mod.
 
@UniKitty Nope.
 
It was a tragic time in The Bridge
 
@Unionhawk And it wasn't even really Bridge history.
 
@Frank Yes it was
Well, we deleted it from Bridge history I guess
But it totally was
 
12:59 PM
Mod abuse?
 
@Unionhawk Seeing as how that user then disappeared, never to return, it seems it all worked out. Sorta.
 
@UniKitty Flags.
@Frank Meh
MEH I SAY
 
@Unionhawk You're the one that brought it up!
 
@Unionhawk Flags too
 
You're not allowed to Meh it away!
 
12:59 PM
@Frank I SAID MEH
