Q: Is a deadline ever given?

In the film Nerve how do they decide when to announce the finals? Is it like a monthly thing? At the end of the month the players with the most watchers get to compete in the finals? I know it says it's a 24 hour game, but I just assumed that meant the game just continued all the time until the ...

@AnkitSharma can you do the-messenger-joan-of-arc?

or even cut the the from the tag?

12:47 AM

@AJ it's a licencing thing. Marvel sold the rights to X-Men before the Cinematic Universe and because of that "Mutants" in the MCU are called Inhumans so while Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have the same powers between the 2 sets of works they end up having to be different. main thing is MCU's version of the 2 aren't Magneto's kids

funny however is that it was MCU that brought them to the screen first since if i recall correctly their appearance in MCU pre-dated Day of Future Past

though MCU would be a bit more fun had the guy who's effectively God in the modern metallic world. after all then it's not just Wolverine that Magneto can toy around like a puppet

curious. is Mjolnir made of metal?

I don't know how to put this... I watched a movie when I was a kid (and loved it), but can't remember anything about it and would like to revisit it, so would appreciate help. Here's all the details I remember: I last watched it around 2008/9 The movie was old when I first watched it, not when ...

1:17 AM

@DhanrajKumar I don't know. I didn't send you the message. From what I can see, it might be from asking a large quantity of questions that don't seem to be well researched and the answers to the questions are easily obtainable simply by watching the movie. I'm just assuming, though.

I'm sure there is a way to reply to the message, though. You're asking a hungover squirrel, here ;)

I didn't know that we could get private messages from mods up in here. Now i want to do something to burn the place down so that I can get a private message :P

@DhanrajKumar i think that reply is kinda meaningless since actions speak louder than works. read up on the links sent to you and see what you are probably doing wrong and improve on it. if you don't understand what it is you're doing wrong you can probably ask here in chat

@steelersquirrel actually entrapmenet dont have detailed IMDB synopsis, that is why i generated questions here.

steelersquirrel

@Memor-X Totally! We are all here to help you @DhanrajKumar :)

@steelersquirrel Elected Mods can send privates messages and emails if i recall correctly. generally they are used rarely though

you can also send messages to the Mods via the flags though that's not really a smart idea

steelersquirrel

It's all good. I know how to contact the mods around here if I really need to ;)

1:21 AM

should see what SO Mods get in their inbox. dam they get some of the worst shit

steelersquirrel

I'm sure. I really don't know why anyone would want to put themselves through being a mod ;)

@steelersquirrel well obviously for the Mod Abuse. isn't that way @AnkitSharma's a mod?

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar You know...the thing that I did when I was new here? I looked at most of the high rep user's questions and modeled mine after how they asked. I used Catija, Ankit and Napoleon's questions as good examples. I also asked a lot of questions in chat and had one or all of them look at my question after I posted it. Trust me...Napoleon isn't afraid to give anyone constructive criticism ;) But, that's what helped me when I was a new user :)

IIRC, one should, sometimes, also give back to community instead of keep taking from it.

I saw this somewhere, but can't find it.

steelersquirrel

@AJ Huh? What in the heck are you talking about? Remember...I'm hungover :P

1:34 AM

@steelersquirrel Hmm. It doesn't seem to be a good time to share some philosophy. :P

steelersquirrel

Haha! Maybe not. I seem to be effing things up today and not even knowing it ;)

@steelersquirrel should i ask every question in chat for approval before posting it on SE?

Nope. You don't have to.

You need to take a break and spend some time studying at top questions.

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar Not necessarily. The best thing to do is to think if this question is a well-researched question and an interesting question. Like...you had a couple questions that you asked a few days ago that were interesting. A lot of those Entrapment questions were just easily answerable just by watching a scene in a movie. This community appreciates more well thought out questions. Let me dig up some good examples for you...

Then form yours.

see here MOD team wants to ban some guy. & its is your words.

@DhanrajKumar it is also a joke, at least from what i understand it

@AnkitSharma is talking about banning someone from talking to him ever again. nothing in that indicates any sort of site ban

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar Oh, gheez. That was just me joking about never speaking to Napoleon again because he likes the Mara sisters...that's just chatting banter. That's nothing to do with how the site works or anything.

@steelersquirrel OK anyway, who would love getting ban here? that is why i will make sure to read its IMDB synopsis & also post a sample post here in chat get approve before posting it online. i have to make precaustions i already got strong rare private message from MOD team .

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar Sure. Nobody wants to get banned here and I seriously doubt that it would come to that. You also don't have to get approval from anyone in chat before you post anything, it's just a good thing to do if you're unsure of a question before you post it. It's always good to get feedback. Quality questions are much more appreciated here than quantity :)

question related to Entrapment (1999), why Robert against to liquid-plasma type screens? Aaron bought robbery tools & Robert reacted to it like this: "I specifically said no liquid-plasma screen".

pls tell me is it quality question or not, is it worth posting it here after strong warning from MODS?

I have seen Entrapment quite a few times, but I don't know which scene you are referring to.

@steelersquirrel Aaron bought robbery tool, when viriginia taking a bath.

Is Aaron played by Ving Rhames?

yes. afro american guy.

he has south accent.

@iandotkelly before you downvote it, I already got approved about this question on chat before posting it here. — Dhanraj Kumar 42 secs ago

@DhanrajKumar Just because I said that it sounds like a reasonable question doesn't mean that it's "approved" or anything like that. People will still have their own opinions on whether or not they consider it a good question.

I feel that I'm not explaining things correctly to you or something...

I don't really know what to do here. Perhaps I will let others explain this :)

Maybe @iandotkelly can shed more light on what we are trying to explain here. I'm kind of at a loss at this point :)

@steelersquirrel that doesn't mean a question can't be downvoted

Q: Could Claire Underwood be relieved of VP duties if Conway won in a split-election?

Just watching the new season (5) of House of Cards. From what I can gather, the VP is the only person in the President's staff that can't be fired by the President.

steelersquirrel

@Memor-X Yeah. That's what I tried to explain with my next comment. I will just let others try and explain this stuff, because I don't think that I am doing it very well and things are being misconstrued :)

@SS CAN u remove on hold on this question and this question?

@DhanrajKumar Sorry. I am not a mod. I don't have a privilege to cast a reopen vote vote too. Modify the question. Mods or users will reopen the question.

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar He can't remove those from being on hold. You can ask one of the mods to if you feel that the question was improved and you feel that it warrants re-opening. The only thing that the rest of us can do is nominate it for re-opening if we have enough rep to do so.

Unfortunately, there are no mods around right now. Sorry.

hello @steelersquirrel somebody want to decrease my reputation on purpose, see this image.

steelersquirrel

3:05 AM

@DhanrajKumar I'm not sure why you're asking me this. I have no desire to want to decrease anyone's rep on purpose. I have always tried to help you whenever you have asked. I admittedly down voted a few of those Entrapment questions of yours. I will fully admit to doing so, but I have never willingly gone after someone to decrease reputation. I am just trying to help you.

@DhanrajKumar no that just shows that the system is doing it's job. while normally it is targeted voting that's revered it could actually be for any number of reasons since we don't actually know, or will ever know, the exact method the system uses for detecting serial voting

steelersquirrel

Another reason could be that so many questions of the same quality were posted so close together. I don't know. Just a guess.

for instance if i didn't like entrapment and find all questions about it not useful i could down vote them all. because you're the only one to ask it might be seen as targeted voting

@steelersquirrel or that yes

steelersquirrel

I don't know if it's so much the movie itself, but just the quality of the questions about that movie that were asked in a short amount of time. I will upvote a question on a movie that I don't particularly like if it's a good quality question.

@DhanrajKumar When some user gets abnormal upvotes or downvotes in a period of time, the system reverses it within 24 hours.

@SS what is the meaning of this sentence: "If mass voting continues to happen between two certain IP addresses (voting each other up) or from a single user"

@DhanrajKumar If one specific user continues to upvote or downvote your stuff.

ok! u answered second part of my question, what abt first part? what is the meaning of this sentence: "If mass voting continues to happen between two certain IP addresses ?

anyway i posted here just now, to know the menaing of it.

@DhanrajKumar Each internet connection has a unique IP address.

3:58 AM

i know that.

It means the same as the second part. It means someone is using same PC or internet connection for self voting.

voting each other up

@DhanrajKumar we don't know. it's apart of the automated system SE uses and for us to know would mean we can circumvent it as such SE Employees wont ever reveal what they mean by 2 certain IP Addresses

Did any got affected by serial voting till now? @all

the only for sure way not to get trapped by serial voting checks is to not rapidly vote in one direction for one user. spread them out by time and user

I have never been affected by any type of serial voting. At least, not that I know of.

hello guys, please help me, i got this message from moderation team of this SE. how to reply to it?

steelersquirrel

Nobody can control down votes. Sometimes, people will just down vote because they feel like it. That's not how it is supposed to work, but it happens. That's just what we have to deal with when you use a site like this.

4:08 AM

yes! exactly what i am referring for last few hours.

steelersquirrel

@Memor-X Yeah...but, there's nothing in that message that says that anyone is getting banned.

@steelersquirrel true but it does read like a question ban warning

@steelersquirrel getting private message itself means indirect way to tell me ban from next time onwards.

steelersquirrel

Really? I am not seeing it like that at all. It's just a suggestion to a new user on a pattern of questions that were asked that weren't well received and giving said user suggestions on how to improve.

@DhanrajKumar It does not always mean you'll get banned.

4:11 AM

ok i understood, if i am against user suggestion will io get ban or will i get another pm ?

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar Okay...that doesn't mean that you will get banned.

@DhanrajKumar I don't know. It's up to the mods, I guess. The best thing to do is to use this message and the suggestions in it to improve your questions. If you are doing that and asking for feedback, then I don't really see why you would be banned. I mean...banned is a strong word and from what I understand, it takes a pretty severe case on the main site to be banned.

@DhanrajKumar Do whatever suggested in that message, but don't do anything inappropriate while doing that.

steelersquirrel

People have been suspended lots of times, but still aren't banned. Banned is permanent, I think. That's pretty severe to think that message has any "indirect" message about being banned.

ok thank you i wait for @NapoleonWilson to remove on hold on my 2 questions.

@steelersquirrel semi-permanent when it's a question/answer ban, just really hard to get out of

Sigh. Alright, then. I was honestly just trying to help. I'm sorry that I couldn't.

@DhanrajKumar You need to improve those questions to make it fit to this SE then it will be reopened by the users and mods.

steelersquirrel

Anyways, see you guys later. Have a good night.

will post get removed even it got 3 upvotes with on hold tag?

@steelersquirrel Ahh that's early. GN :)

@steelersquirrel Good night!

@DhanrajKumar Nope. If it has at least one positively voted answer and is not bad ID question, no.

may be good night for u, but for me it will be nightmare until @NapoleonWilson FINAL DECISION on me about those 2 onhold questioons.

@DhanrajKumar Please stop posting that you got a warning message everywhere.

i am using SE since last few days, i never recieved warning message anytime, it is the first time, i dont want to recieve another one of any SE community.

4:25 AM

Well, I am just saying that this is a private message from a moderator. It's a communication between you and that mod, therefore should be remained between you two.

therefore should be remained between you two. but if i dont follow him, effect will be severe.

And don't panic that you got a warning message. Plus, this is not a warning. It's just a plain message to make sure that you've visited help center and to notify you to improve quality of your question.

seriously i never thought recieving it in my dream slo .

It's just a plain message in what way? it clearly indicates warning to me.

@DhanrajKumar I am just saying that you shouldn't share it everywhere.

ok but how they will know i already got warning & another warning will me ban from it.

@AJ yeh, to me it looks like a prefab message. not sure if Mods have those for messages so i can't be for certain

@Memor-X prefab?

@DhanrajKumar They? moderators?

@AJ prefabricated, like a template

similar to the review comments you sometimes see in answers

@Memor-X Come on dude! don't scare Dhanraj more, he is already scared.

@Memor-X We don't know if they have particular template for it.

@DhanrajKumar Well, we all had tried to help you. If you're still not sure what to do, you can start a chat with @AnkitSharma who will be here anytime soon.

@SS wait, how is it more scary that a mod may have just used a template and everyone else could just get

@AJ or @NapoleonWilson considering the number of pings

4:36 AM

@Memor-X He will be at work and he doesn't come here during work. So Ankit is the only possibility here.

@Memor-X When @AJ is saying it is just a formality, you are saying that it is a pre ban message.

@SS ahh yes, good point. ofcause on the other hand i would assume that if a mod is sending that kind of message the warning is already showing up on the site

the system, to my understanding, works quicker than the mods

5:07 AM

Can we please stop using this room as a "pester mods to reopen questions" room? If you want a question reopened, fix it and wait for reopen votes or post about it on Movies & TV Meta. Mods have power to immediately reopen questions but that doesn't mean they will use it at your request. The community is meant to make those decisions, not mods. Putting them on the spot in here is downright rude.

@Catija Agreed. We'd tried explain it to him.

@AJ me it was half a month ago

May 15 at 3:50, by Memor-X

@DhanrajKumar it'll get reopened if the community believes it should. since it has been edited after it was closed it should appear in the reopen queue as well as having been bumbed on the main page. you just need to wait for enough +3k users to review it

however you guys may have been dealing with it longer

@DhanrajKumar If you are getting mod messages about voting irregularities, that means that the moderators or Community Managers think that you have multiple accounts and are using them to upvote eachother. This is considered voting fraud and may get you banned from the site along with them destroying all but one of the accounts. Stop voting on your own questions from other accounts. It isn't acceptable behavior.

@DhanrajKumar ... I said nothing about banning you... you were talking about voting irregularities and a mod message and worrying about getting banned... it's not a far reach to guess (apparently incorrectly in this case) that you were sent a voting irregularities mod message.

need to feel special since mods are effectively a community's Exception Handler

@Memor-X I'd feel more special if it were green.

@Catija why green?

Also, room owners are in italics.

@AJ because it is the best color... obviously. ;)

as a mod you get that class on your name which is why the rest of us can't do that

Holy Hell!!! This is an Ankit pingfest for the record books!! ;)

5

@steelersquirrel I missed a lot

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Awwwwww! As Napoleon would say...Ditto! :)

@AnkitSharma OMG! You totally did! ;)

@DrRDizzle hi o/

@steelersquirrel did I told you that I was purposely sleeping late form few weeks to avoid morning anxiousness, so that I wake up late. Looks like it's working worse as today I woke up at 11 AM :D

@steelersquirrel We should call authorities from Guinness Book of World Records.

steelersquirrel

7:54 AM

@AnkitSharma Morning anxiousness?! Are you pregnant? :P

3

Haha

@steelersquirrel am I, time to buy a pregnancy test kit

steelersquirrel

:P

I am pregnant, holy moly :O

steelersquirrel

OMG! You already took a test? ;)

That was fast!

7:56 AM

@Catija I am bringing someone who can play with Ben now

steelersquirrel

Yep. It's confirmed. Ankit is knocked up ;)

@steelersquirrel not yet but I believe the nurse's word

@steelersquirrel We must call Guinness book of world records. @AnkitSharma has got world's fastest pregnancy kit too. :P

steelersquirrel

Those things usually take about 5 minutes after you pee on a stick.

@SS Hahaha! There's all kinds of records being broken up in here!! This is mass hysteria!!!

Now I have to make @DrRDizzle give my child his name, I can't allow someone calling my child bastard

steelersquirrel

8:00 AM

You're going to name your child Dr? He will be forced to go to Medical school! ;)

@AnkitSharma Pavitra Gobar (Holy S**t)

@AJ lol

@steelersquirrel Ankitansh Rochelle is he is a guy but have no girl name yet

2

@AnkitSharma Just add one more a before ansh, it will work.

steelersquirrel

I seriously would have zero clue on what to name a child if I ever had one.

Or keep it as is. It can work in both cases.

8:04 AM

@AnkitSharma Name her Ankita Danielle. :P

@AJ no people use only one facebook.com/public/Ankitansh-Gupta

@SS that's not sexy enough

@AnkitSharma Yo.

@steelersquirrel Ankitansh means "part of ankit"

@AnkitSharma One of my colleagues name is Ankita.

@AnkitSharma What??!

steelersquirrel

8:05 AM

@DrRDizzle Ankit just found out he was pregnant... ;)

@steelersquirrel Congratulations, @AnkitSharma!

@AJ one of good friend name is Ankita

Are you showing yet?

@steelersquirrel I didn't took test yet

steelersquirrel

Congratulations, Ankit!!! <confetti falls from ceiling>

8:06 AM

@DrRDizzle showing what O.o

@AnkitSharma Your baby belly.

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Well, I guess that sometimes, you just know. The test is just a formality before you decide to swan dive into a wood chipper :P

@DrRDizzle it take time hubby

@AnkitSharma Wait, am I the father?!?!

steelersquirrel

Hahahaha! OMG!!! This.is.awesome!

8:08 AM

@DrRDizzle @AnkitSharma You're the ~~most weird~~ best couple I've ever seen. :P

@DrRDizzle now you expect me to take DNA test of my infant

@AnkitSharma This baby is going to have one really weird taste in movies.

3

That's your biggest concern?

@DrRDizzle I think he will hate everything

2

@Ixrec I can't think of anything more pressing.

8:10 AM

@Ixrec Biggest concern is If i have to fight for equal rights or move to UK

steelersquirrel

Just know what to expect when Ankit is in the delivery room:

Dec 2 '15 at 12:57, by Mike Edenfield

"The labor process was objectively bad. The pacing was all wrong, and everyone was late with their cues. The characters were one-dimensional, and plus I wanted a boy and got a girl. It just didn't seem to be the labor it was trying to be."

@DrRDizzle looks like you will be a irresponsible father

@AnkitSharma That is not a shock to me.

Bummer

steelersquirrel

Mike's comment about Dizzle watching his child being born is still one of the funniest frigging things that I have ever read in chat. Hehehehe!

8:12 AM

better I give up my kid for adoption

@steelersquirrel Will you be there with @AnkitSharma? ;)

steelersquirrel

@AJ Hahaha! No. I have seen enough babies born. I wouldn't even want to be present if I were the one giving birth :P

See, the proper criticism would be that we don't really need a scene showing the delivery. It doesn't tell us anything new about the characters or tie in thematically to the rest of Dizzle's origin story. We could've cut straight to them raising the kid with comic ineptitude.

@steelersquirrel that was epicly funny @KutuluMike

steelersquirrel

This sounds like the makings of an awesome sitcom ;)

8:14 AM

@Ixrec You should always start your story as late as possible, so unless the labour itself is an important aspect of the story...

lol

@steelersquirrel will be our child's godmother and napoleon will be grumpy uncle

Himarm will never be allowed near the kid if he is drunk

@AnkitSharma So, Himarm will just never be allowed near the kid at all.

Or depending on what kind of movie this is, we cut to their child defeating one of the moderators in hand-to-hand combat and being proclaimed the new king of the site.

Or depending on what kind of movie this is, we cut to their now-grown-up child defeating one of the moderators in hand-to-hand combat and being proclaimed the new king of the site.

@DrRDizzle yes

@Ixrec he/she will rule the world not a stupid SE site

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma I can see it, now! I will be all "OMG, look! The baby is smiling and being all cute" Napoleon would be all..."Uhuh" :P

8:18 AM

I'd probably have the same reaction

steelersquirrel

"Yeah...it's a miniature human. That's nice"

:P

Q: Why was David wearing so large shoes in the end of Alien Covenant?

After David stores the two alien embryos and he walks through the corridor with sleeping pods, anyone else noticed his shoes were really large? Is there some special reason behind that or are M. Fassbender's feet just big?

character alien-covenant

steelersquirrel

I get the hugest thrill off of babies doing just about anything ;)

Like smelling their heads?

steelersquirrel

YES!!!!!

8:21 AM

@MovieReel wow, Covenant is down to fruit bowl questions already?

8:31 AM

Ridley Scott's Alien: Covfefe

@steelersquirrel lol

@Ixrec bummer

steelersquirrel

@MovieReel Uhm...have you ever seen a full frontal of Fassbender? Holy Hell! Yeah, of course he has big frigging feet!! ;)

@steelersquirrel full frontal? When?

steelersquirrel

@AJ Uhm...I might have "accidentally" stumbled onto a site that showed him in a full frontal nude pic from a movie. I might have had to give them my credit card information in order to see it. This is all purely circumstantial, though ;)

ohh

8:46 AM

@steelersquirrel Shame?

And I'm not just saying "Shame on you". Isn't that the film?

steelersquirrel

I don't know. It was about him being a sex addict.

Is that it?

Yes, it is.

steelersquirrel

Well, that's it. Actually, it was my sister's credit card and I totally Blame Mike for introducing me to the site. It's like Mr. Skin...except it has men instead of women.

She was looking up Fassbender's pics and I tripped and stumbled into the room on accident and just happened to see the pic :P

@steelersquirrel Is she a fan of him?

steelersquirrel

@AJ Not really. She just heard that he was uhm..."gifted" and had to see for herself. It was all in the name of science ;)

And I just have a morbid curiosity...so, I had to see too, of course ;)

8:59 AM

@steelersquirrel Ahh science and curiosity. Makes you do many, not that one only, things.
