Ted Cruz dropped out of the presidental race

Maltysen

@AlexA. kasich is still left? :P

Alex A.

Yep

Maltysen

lel

Geobits

Wait, really?

Maltysen

@AlexA. bernie also won tonight \o/

Alex A.

01:02

@Geobits Yes

@Maltysen YES

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Bernie > Trump > Hilary IMO.

That last part is subject to change

Downgoat

yeah, why not?

Maltysen

^^^

Alex A.

For me it's Bernie > Hilary > moving to Canada

quartata

Would you honestly vote for Trump over Hilary? Yeesh.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

01:04

I know what bad looks like with the clintons ._.

It's more likely Trump will get impeached

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ hahahahahahaha

> no Mr. President, you can't build a wall there

quartata

I listened to Trump's foreign policy speech and it was easily the most inane pile of random sentences I'd ever heard. Hilary is way better

Doorknob

@Maltysen I'm sorry, Mr. President, I'm afraid I can't let you do that

quartata

Sure I think everyone can agree Bernie is cooler than Hilary but at this point I think I'd prefer anyone over Trump.

@Doorknob hehe

Maltysen

@quartata trump is actually pretty liberal (when he's not completely insane)

Helka Homba

01:06

@AlexA. You're a straight white male who probably hasn't committed treason. You should be ok.

Doorknob

woah did the color of pings change?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

no?

Downgoat

no?

Helka Homba

@Doorknob did they?

PhiNotPi

Test it out on me?

Doorknob

01:07

As in the highlight of your name when you get pinged

Maltysen

@Doorknob plug in your VGA into your monitor harder?

Downgoat

@PhiNotPi okay

El'endia Starman

@El'endiaStarman test

Helka Homba

@HelkaHomba test

El'endia Starman

Bah, that doesn't work. :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

01:07

LOL My very republican friend says:

> JUST KEEP OBAMA IN OFFICE THAN THESE TWO IDIOTS!!!!

Helka Homba

@El'endiaStarman test & reciprocate

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Downgoat where is the best place to test cheddar?

El'endia Starman

@HelkaHomba Reciprocating...

Same color as before. Pink.

Geobits

Reticulating splines...

quartata

Doorknob might be mildly intoxicated?

Doorknob

01:08

Maybe I'm imagining things

PhiNotPi

Obama's approval rating has been going up recently.

Doorknob

It looks pinker though

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ lets repeal the 22nd ammendment

trichoplax

@El'endiaStarman Mine have always been yellow - test me?

Helka Homba

@quartata His colors are out of whack since codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/79200/26997

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

01:09

@Maltysen yes

Doorknob

I wonder if I can find an old screenshot with a ping...

Helka Homba

The current color is #f5c3c4 I believe

but no

it looks way lighter in the inspect window than in actual chat

Doorknob

... oh, that's the same color as in an old screenshot I just found

Well that's weird

trichoplax

All the things I say are highlighted in the average colour of my avatar - that's normal, right?

Cyoce

strawpoll.me/10123718

quartata

01:12

I think Doorknob did that just to get us to stop talking about politics

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@Cyoce I'm not competent enough in ruby to be allowed to answer.

Cyoce

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ it's just aesthetics.

Geobits

He might have been reading about McCarthyism. That'd explain seeing more pink everywhere.

quartata

@trichoplax It's the same blue for everyone

trichoplax

@quartata I know :)

It just always looks colour coded because of the coincidence...

quartata

01:14

oh hehe

Cyoce

# how it looks in monospace
def foo() bar end
def foo() bar; end
def foo; bar end
def foo; bar; end

trichoplax

@quartata Oh that pink for pings - yes that looks the same for me. I was thinking of the yellow when you follow a link to a message

quartata

Ah

Doorknob

@Cyoce I never use parens in method definitions so that last way is how I always do it

Cyoce

@Doorknob I don't use them either, but I came to an interesting conundrum when I needed to do a one-liner

Oh my god my dad just pronounced meme as "mem" (מ?). ಠ_ಠ

trichoplax

01:17

@Cyoce Is he a golfer too then?

Cyoce

@trichoplax Nope. But he knows VBScript ¯\(ツ)/¯

Q: Ascii piano keyboard

Piano keys are 3 characters wide, and 7 characters tall. However, if every key was 3 charactes wide, there wouldn't be enough room for the black keys. That's why some of the white keys have parts of them cut out. There are 3 types of white keys. Keys with the right half missing (R): ____ | ...

Doorknob

@HelkaHomba tricky...

Helka Homba

@NewMainPosts you don't count

@Doorknob rules us out :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

01:21

@Cyoce how do you pronounce it?

you have to talk sometime

Helka Homba

Are people actually waiting to speak?

Geobits

It won't be me, that's for sure.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Me!

Alex A.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The last time the economy was in a surplus was when Bill Clinton was in office. ;) Also it's not fair to judge Hilary based on her husband; they're different people with different views and approaches.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Unless you count @newmain

Helka Homba

01:23

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Indeed, you win! (or w/e)

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ no

Alex A.

@HelkaHomba I'll be fine but I don't want to watch everyone else end up in a bad situation.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Depending on how you count it, @newmain was also me.

Helka Homba

3 mins ago, by Helka Homba

@NewMainPosts you don't count

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. True. But I've read not too few articles talking about the Clintons (together) dealing with Russia and nuclear reactors. Also, Clinton's such a scandal. She's just not a nice person (imo)

Helka Homba

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Though I would like to reverse that and prove @Geobits wrong

Geobits

01:25

@HelkaHomba My finger slipped... That was supposed to be proving myself wrong :/

Muscle memory's a bitch.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@HelkaHomba yes.

@Downgoat need a python version.

Cyoce

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ "meem". Or "may-may" if I'm feeling whimsical.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@HelkaHomba How could I not vote for Martin?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

01:28

Geobits

I wanna see his birth certificate first ;)

Cyoce

Awh. Apparently in Ruby you can't do {'a' => 'b' => 1} to pair multiple keys with one value. :(

Alex A.

@HelkaHomba You're counting out Kasich already? ;P

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Martin, 7, Bernie, 1, Trump, FUCKING 0 YAH

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@MartinBüttner do you mind running for president of the US?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ @Doorknob can you pin that?

Helka Homba

If you're ever thinking of changing careers @Martin ...

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Silently take office and deals with North Korea.

Doorknob

01:29

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ And I don't think Martin will appreciate this rather useless notification in his inbox.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

sorry.

If you're ever thinking of changing careers @Martin ...

Helka Homba

...

Cyoce

@Doorknob well if you're gonna president you'd better get used to getting tons of spam messages.

Alex A.

Heh. Rekta Homba.

Geobits

01:31

@Cyoce I'm pretty sure he has someone handle that for him :P

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I don't think doorknob technically could run for president.

Cyoce

@Geobits then he should get one for his inbox :P

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

You gotta wait 20 years first.

Helka Homba

> well if you're gonna be Martin you'd better get used to getting tons of spam messages

ftfy

Geobits

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Well technically neither can Martin... that's beside the point.

I can in 2020 though :)

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

01:32

Actually, I don't think any of the current mods could.

Alex A.

What's the cutoff, 35?

Geobits

Yea, 35.

Helka Homba

^

Alex A.

Then you're correct

Geobits

ninjerk? :P

Alex A.

01:33

@HelkaHomba Jamaican jerked ninja

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Wait, how old are Dennis and Martin?

Alex A.

Under 35

Helka Homba

older than the stars

Geobits

I really love it when people edit their messages to make mine look like nonsense. It's my favorite thing ever.

>_>

<_<

Alex A.

What about when people edit your messages into nonsense?

Geobits

01:34

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Even not counting age, we have some not-exactly-US-citizens as mods ;)

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I knew that.

Alex A.

I wonder if Dennis has ever even been to the US

Geobits

@AlexA. Please sir, may I have another?

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Now I wonder who the oldest user on the site is.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Peter?

Alex A.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Ah, I can't remember his name. I recognize his picture though. He does reviews every once in a while.

Cyoce

So I see Ruby has no ValueError. What should I use in its stead?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

01:38

Define a ShitFuckedUpError?

Helka Homba

We also have codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/22906/grandpa and codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/21496/pothead-grandma

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Is there a way to view all former mods?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

or a ValueError.

Possible contender? Wrote the built in they used...

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@HelkaHomba That's fantastic.

I can link you to the PPCG ones though

@HelkaHomba That's because he's not saying "bye", but "Back Again Imminently".

@AlexA. still uses sourceforge. That settles it :P

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@AlexA. Are there any others than Dmkcee and CJY?

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ gnibbler

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I probably spelled one of those wrong.

Ah, okay.

Alex A.

No both are right but dmckee is all lowercase :P

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

You mean John La Rooy?

Geobits

Well crap, I guess I'll just have to settle for oldest chat regular. Though something tells me this isn't a good thing...

Alex A.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Yes

Did he change his username?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Yeah.

Still gnibbler here though.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

01:42

no.

trichoplax

@Geobits Is that an assumption or do you secretly know all our ages?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

iirc

@Geobits ... I'm 13 . 1....

Geobits

@trichoplax I know far too much about all of you. I didn't think that was a secret.

trichoplax

lol

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@Geobits Oh yeah, well then what's my IRL name? :P

Alex A.

01:43

Doctor

trichoplax

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ It was nice knowing you. See you again in a year I guess...

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@AlexA. No, it's ham.

Maltysen

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ James Bondetta?

@Maltysen disagreeing.

Maltysen

01:43

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ oh

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

iirc racism is not liberal?

Alex A.

@Geobits I think trichoplax is older than you

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Hahaha what?

trichoplax

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ I haven't used IRL for ages

Maltysen

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ well yes, but that knida falls into the insanity aspect. I was talking about his policies

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

... I think his only consistent policy is deporting people to mexico and building a wall.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

01:44

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I have no clue where you got "Bondetta" from, but that's actually (almost) right.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ James Hebertson?

@AlexA. @Maltysen thinks Trump is liberal.

Alex A.

@Maltysen That's incorrect

Maltysen

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ like he said that he would be even-handed with israel and Palestine. then the lobby attacked him

Alex A.

Compare him to Bernie, who's very liberal

Maltysen

@AlexA. i'm comparing him to all the other republicans

trichoplax

01:45

@AlexA. Is that based on me acting very mature? Or forgetting things more often?

Alex A.

@trichoplax From you mentioning your age once ;P

trichoplax

@AlexA. Lol that would do it. I have no idea how old Geobits is though

Alex A.

@Maltysen Kasich is more liberal than Trump, especially when it comes to immigration

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

^

BTW, go Kasich!

Helka Homba

@trichoplax He just said he'll be 35 in 2020

Alex A.

01:46

He'll be at least 35 in 2020

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

shit slack says to update every 10 min.... someone is borked

trichoplax

@AlexA. So minimum of 31 and maximum of 34?

Maltysen

hahahaha, trump said that cruz's father has something to do with JFK's assasination

Geobits

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Damn, not that place again >_<

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Maltysen ... ~~wtf~~ lol

@Geobits sorry.

Alex A.

01:48

@trichoplax Yes!

Maltysen

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yeah, at least his entertainment value is over 9000

Helka Homba

@AlexA. Ah right. He has to wait out his downvote felony charges.

Geobits

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ No, no. That's not me. It's just upsetting that there's another Geobits out there :P

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yeah, i get it.

trichoplax

@AlexA. So that makes me very probably older than Geobits, but not quite certain

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Let me put it this way: if I'd been born a year earlier, I'd be eligible to run this year.

trichoplax

@Geobits If you're 31 to 34, and I'm nearly 35, then I guess it's at least 90%

quartata

TimmyD is also 35

Alex A.

@Geobits Whoa, my sister is older than I remembered her being. (You two are the same age.)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Alex A.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Is that this year?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Geobits did you steal marky from somebody else?

@AlexA. Kinda related and interesting - Castro suggests age 70 max limit

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

01:54

@AlexA. I'm not really a big fan of political arguments on the internet, but I'm not going to vote for Bernie.
