9:00 PM
about to
is
 
The only people here with any power to intervene is the tech companies themselves.
 
wat
 
They need to unanimously withdraw from the UK.
 
oh lol
 
Then the common people will be upset.
 
9:01 PM
Apple won't
 
"Muh facebooks!"
 
@Seth the tories got the most seats, but not a majority. If you don't have a majority, you can't get your policies through even with a three-line-whip or whatever, so you can't form a government. The tories formed a coalition with the conservative DUP party of Northern Ireland
 
lol like Zuckerberg would pull out
 
It would be the right thing to do.
 
exactly
 
9:02 PM
"Don't be evil."
(Yes, I realize that's Google's motto.)
 
Well, it's the only way to make everyone see how ridiculous it is.
Sadly, too many people are thinking, "well, if it makes us safer, sure - let's hand over more of our freedom."
But the truth is, there is no safety without freedom.
 
yea it'd be saty
 
facebook won't leave.
 
Facebook is always there
 
9:05 PM
or if they do, it's going to be a PR stunt, not an actual stand.
 
watching
 
But I will
 
waiting
 
@NathanOsman problem is, all the experts are saying, have been saying, never stopped saying, it won't make anyone safer.
 
Reminder that Facebook is one of the biggest violators of this security thing in existence.
 
9:05 PM
@Zanna come to the US! We have burgers :p
 
@Seth Then who is saying that it will!?!
 
Facebook doesn't give two goats about anyone's privacy.
4
 
instinct @NathanOsman
 
@NathanOsman The politicians!!
The people with power.
 
^--
 
9:06 PM
@Seth They aren't terribly clever people.
 
ahhh movie-time
where one second it's 3PM and the next it's 3AM
 
@NathanOsman Exactly.
 
@NathanOsman I dunno. They have all the money and power ;)
s/all/most/
 
Still, kinda strikes me that while my country incarcerates and deports refugees and exits from the EU just to keep immigrants out, it's a bit rich for me to expect any country to give me shelter
 
@Seth mind == blown
 
9:07 PM
@Seth s/most/most of/g
 
@Zanna Meh, we all know not everyone in the UK is like their government.
:)
 
@Zanna rich?
 
@TheWanderer British English.
 
British slang or literal?
 
@KazWolfe word. Not even one goat turd I'd say
 
9:08 PM
yum
who said that
 
@TheWanderer Er... slang, I think.
 
thanks fellow American
 
When the rest of the world starts shunning the UK, can we please also take advantage of this opportunity to finally (once and for all) drop all english measurements and adopt metric everywhere? Please?
 
Wrong country
 
> *informal*
> (of a remark) causing ironic amusement or indignation.
> "these comments are a bit rich coming from a woman with no money worries"
 
9:08 PM
but I'd have no problem with that
 
Rich there means something like hypocritical
 
^
 
hi
 
@Seth UK uses both just because
 
@Seth No, I realize it isn't the UK doing that but since they are called "british" units...
 
9:09 PM
@NathanOsman YES ffs
 
@Zanna I know what the slang def is, just wasn't sure if you were actually using it :p
 
@NathanOsman NOW THEY'RE CALLED FREEDOM UNITS!
 
Le facepalm.
 
@NathanOsman Are they? Around here they're called "Imperial". I guess Americans equate the two :P
 
Imperial == British
 
9:09 PM
I've heard that too.
Same difference.
 
UK is king of imperialism
 
I was just confirming that I was doing so with explanation for the benefit of future historians
@TheWanderer word
 
it would be impossible to get rid of freedom units.
 
ah you know about the chat archeologists too eh @Zanna
 
old generation is resistant to change. old generation has power.
 
9:10 PM
Lol
 
@KazWolfe and by the time the old gen dies out, there's a new one
we're doomed
 
@TheWanderer That's beeing happening since day 1?
 
doooooomed
 
> Gentleman of the secret police, I thank you on behalf of future historians
 
@TheWanderer new generation is too lazy/doesn't care enough/has used freedom units for so long that they'll vehemently refuse change.
so they have to keep teaching freedom units in school because all the old measures are in freedom units.
 
9:11 PM
@KazWolfe the way to persuade people is to just start using the other method
don't make a big deal out of it
just do it
 
We managed to do it up here in Canada, though to be fair, it caused a plane crash.
 
and then if people ask you, say you're doing it because you want to travel or something
 
I'm going to bed. May I wake up and find I dreamed the whole steaming bag of goat dung going on
 
i do use metric wherever i can.
 
@NathanOsman NASA crashed an orbiter, sooo
 
9:12 PM
@NathanOsman I think down here it has caused spacecraft crashes so..
@KazWolfe same
 
@TheWanderer Unmanned though.
 
still
 
(also 24 hour time and YYYY-MM-DD format)
 
Didn't they crash a martian probe too or something?
@KazWolfe ISO FTW.
The one british unit we still use from time to time up here is the horsepower instead of the watt.
 
while we're at it, can we also fix commas vs periods for decimal vs placeholder?
watt
 
9:14 PM
periods = decimal. please.
 
I see what you did there...
 
what if the us measured electrical power as horsepower.
 
@KazWolfe period.
 
i'd think i'd literally kill myself. through electrocution.
 
9:14 PM
oh dear
 
Long live crypto and may its enemies fall on the swords of their stunning ignorance
6
 
^--- this
 
hue
 
Also lasers. Long live lasers. Because awesome.
 
@Zanna hey, on the plus side, this means Theresa May's banking data will be visible to the whole world!
 
9:15 PM
@KazWolfe or through being trampled by horses
 
@KazWolfe we would measure a laptop's power consumption in milli horses then... sounds fun
 
@KazWolfe probably just renting out wheatfields
 
Okay, yeah, that might actually be fun.
 
@Zanna that is very tweet worthy.
 
@NathanOsman how do you play we where here? do you have to have a microphone?
 
9:16 PM
@KazWolfe it won't take long for them to figure out the thing won't fly... hopefully!
 
@Seth Two more stars and it qualifies for out account :P
 
@Seth <3
 
@TheXed You need a partner for one.
 
@NathanOsman that's still alive?
 
Later all \o
 
9:17 PM
@NathanOsman gets out socks
 
Lol
 
@KazWolfe turns out we don't need you! le gasp :P
@Zanna take care!
 
@NathanOsman yeah this dude doesn't like me and keeps kicking me from the room
 
@TheXed And you don't have to use the microphone but you'll need something to communicate with, like Skype, etc.
 
@Seth SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG SHOG
 
9:17 PM
@NathanOsman wouldn't the steam chat work?
 
>:)
 
@KazWolfe Yes, it's still alive.
 
Don't call on Shog improperly. Or.
Oh great Zach.
 
@TheWanderer wtf.
 
huehuehue
 
9:18 PM
@TheXed In theory, yes. In practice, no.
 
i am ban.
 
You'll be doing way too much talking.
 
it's all fun an hue until he bans you
 
everyone blame @Seth
 
then it's fun and hue for us
 
9:18 PM
@NathanOsman so very ineffecient
 
Very.
 
tomorrow morning, i will log in with 1 rep again. :(
 
It's a cooperative puzzle game.
 
hue
 
So you will constantly be talking back and forth to solve the puzzles.
 
9:19 PM
and zach will not even have an account anymore.
 
@NathanOsman sounds tedious...
 
and this room will get deleted.
 
@Zacharee2, anyone? :P
 
I have 10 accounts
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
9:19 PM
I actually have 2
 
@TheXed Yeah, puzzles are generally tedious :P
 
--and I only made that one to test ChatExchange AHEM AHEM @NathanOsman---
 
i legitimately have two, but wolfbot will never take an action, ever.
 
@KazWolfe Including posting a message?
 
AHEM AHEM
 
9:20 PM
@NathanOsman an action that is suspicious.
so wolfbot will never flag/vote/etc.
 
Fun thing about threaded chats like SE. 10 people can carry on 3 conversations at once in the same room.
 
I have three. Me, George, and GLaDOS (which is George's test account).
 
Unfortunately when I try to do that with non internetz people they just get confused and/or mad.
 
hey @NathanOsman you should make me RO here
 
I wonder what it would look like to have 10 people in the room all talking to themselves...
@TheWanderer Cannot. Would be abuse.
 
9:21 PM
oh so what's new
 
Not to mention that's a pretty pathetic bribe >:)
 
@TheWanderer You do realize that by pinging our overlord (may he have mercy on our souls), you've completely nullified your chance of getting RO. Ever.
 
@NathanOsman why am I bribing you/being bribed?
 
@KazWolfe And the complimentary steak knives must be returned.
 
@KazWolfe like I plan on getting RO
 
9:22 PM
@TheWanderer Aha! You admit it then.
 
watt
 
32 secs ago, by TheWanderer
@NathanOsman why am I bribing you/being bribed?
There it is.
Written in stone.
 
it's struck out now
invalid
 
9:23 PM
Not in the quote >:)
 
nonadmissable in a court of law
 
Pffft.
 
quotes are nonadmissable
 
US law or Shog law? >:)
 
I'll have the quote notarized.
 
9:24 PM
ShogOS
does Shog actually get pinged though in all seriousness?
 
@TheWanderer YES.
 
thought only mods can super-ping
lolrip
 
I MEAN PERFECTLY MERCIFUL TRIAL WITH EVERYONE'S BEST INTERESTS AT HEART BY A COMPLETELY FAIR JUDGE.
 
We actually had to call shog a couple days ago. And he replied.
 
Yup, but we don't know anything about that.
 
9:24 PM
on the Shog-o-Phone
5
 
Not a thing.
 
:38064084 it's not, but sometimes it feels like that to those not paying attention.
 
what
 
@TheWanderer Congratulations. I literally lol'd.
 
lol
 
9:25 PM
@TheWanderer no
 
The new upgraded version is arriving soon. The Shog-O-Vision with 4K resolution.
 
but there is some debate on whether he hears you or not anyway
 
can always count on Seth to be serious
@NathanOsman is this real 4K or market 4K?
 
11/10 would ping again
@TheWanderer 100% DCI 4K.
 
yay
 
9:26 PM
I wanted 8K
 
market or real
 
@TheWanderer I try.
 
just never put an @ in the same message as His name.
 
personally I'm happy with UHD atm
 
@TheWanderer There's a market 8K already? :P
 
9:26 PM
tl;dr
don't make shog memes.
 
@KazWolfe Thou shalt not worship false idols
 
When he actually get called, it makes you blush quite a bit.
 
@NathanOsman yes
I'm swooning already @Avery
 
like the day he was called I had posted this:
in Mathematics, Jun 5 at 1:05, by Avery
@bwDraco initiate protocol shog
 
Puts on Android developer hat. And these new resolutions require us to name a new DPI - I present for your enjoyment xxxxxxhdpi (extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra hdpi).
 
9:27 PM
@Avery haha, I saw bwDraco's message in the Tavern. Made me sweat a little.
 
and he probably did see that while glimpsing through the transcript.
 
It's usually not the best idea to ping that many CMs at once :P
 
@NathanOsman hey we haven't gotten to 4X, yet
 
@Seth Adam isn't even a CM smh
 
@Avery was. Now a dev.
 
9:28 PM
Prepares for global ping to all community moderators...
 
Still has diamond everywhere though.
 
@all
 
Nice try, nubcake.

9:30 PM
@aaaaaa @aaaaab @aaaaac @aaaaad @aaaaae ...
Gotta try all the combinations!
 
Good job, @TheWanderer. Look at what you did.
 
@NathanOsman only need first three letters
 
@TheWanderer Don't be picky.
 
you're being picky
 
user136984
@KazWolfe Well, this is scarier.
 
9:31 PM
I'm being moderator-y.
Jus' doin' ma duty.
 
synonyms
 
Ok but seriously. Don't go pinging people without a reason.
 
Moderator secret: we actually have a quota of bans and suspensions that must be met each day. We meet in a secret room at the beginning of the day to decide who will receive these. Depending on who has had their coffee yet, the results are often humorous.
 
we have no rules here
 
@KazWolfe
 
9:32 PM
@NathanOsman is this like psychiatrists and meds?
 
Hue.
 
@NathanOsman is it called TL by any chance
 
@NathanOsman Get out of the TL.
 
:O
The secret room's name has been found out!
 
GASP
 
9:33 PM
This is not good.
 
No one knows what TL stands for, though.
 
Also, this is bad.
 
Turkish lira?
 
Wrong.
