The Bridge

Raven Dreamer

2:00 AM

@GraceNote Of things that amuse you.

Wipqozn

@GraceNote oh my zeus, laughed pretty hard. That's awesome

Grace Note

I didn't know I had such a book.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote You're missing out.

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn Apparently shoelaces are too retro for the modern-day snow sneaker.

Raven Dreamer

Also, spode help me; this score is 17 pages when I paste it into MS Word.

Grace Note

2:01 AM

This thing has dials and cables on it.

Raven Dreamer

@GraceNote Steampunk shoes?

Or just Japanese?

Grace Note

Neither. LLBean.

user15026

@GraceNote Those are some pretty hardcore sounding shoes

Wipqozn

Thanks to whoever re-starred @mana's :(.

Take that @mana! Team work wins again.

GnomeSlice

@RavenDreamer This what?

Grace Note

2:04 AM

@AshleyNunn They are pretty snazzy, and also waterproof.

user15026

@GraceNote Waterproof? That is pretty snazzy. :) My runners, I discovered, have three holes on either side that apparently let water in....and they were made that way :(

agent86

@GraceNote just working on some sort of statistics crap. wondering about what qualifies a question as "unanswered"

I guess if we have official criteria, those'd be best, but otherwise I can make stuff up

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn That doesn't really help in protecting water, yes.

@agent86 "No accepted or upvoted live answers".

user15026

@GraceNote Yeah. Not good shoes on days when it is raining or the snow is melting...

agent86

@GraceNote this works for me.

FallenAngelEyes

2:07 AM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, my running shoes are like that too. Theoretically for ventilation, but in practice, it just gets my feet wet

Grace Note

Bought these mostly for working in the snow because obviously the lot of many of my other shoes are unsuited to snow work.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Exactly. And if you don't know they are there, it is an uncomfortable surprise :(

Ben Brocka

@GraceNote True, but I've rarely seen any noteworthy difference in any of them (the free ones I've seen anyway)

FallenAngelEyes

I've never been much of a shoe person.

I tend to purchase men's shoes because the women's styles are often... stupid.

Raven Dreamer

@GnomeSlice The output from my music generating algorithm.

Tim Stone

2:09 AM

@GraceNote There's been a disappointing lack of snow down here this year, so if you get bored of wearing your new shoes, feel free to just send the snow this way.

FallenAngelEyes

I just want a nice, functional pair of sandals, why is that so difficult?!

GnomeSlice

@RavenDreamer ...?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 Keep in mind, that particular criteria breaks down when you start looking at ITG, if that's what you're after.

Grace Note

@BenBrocka That is what makes the question bad - there's nothing in the question to distinguish the criteria from every other Tron clone - we're merely lucky that the original Tron was the one being sought after.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Agreed. I do the same thing. Partially because getting size 11 womens shoes is hard.

Grace Note

2:09 AM

@TimStone We have had a very boring winter.

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 This bugs me because I've got an unasnwerd question with no answers on math.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes because you need to have PRETTY FEET

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes You're totally missing out!

Ben Brocka

I'm relatively picky about shoes, they must be made of dead cow, preferably Bass

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn I shall sit with you in that camp. I wear 10.

Raven Dreamer

2:10 AM

@GnomeSlice I wrote a program that algorithmically generates music. One minute of music is 17 pages in transcriptions

FallenAngelEyes

And it is like virtually impossible to find anything that looks nice 9+

Raven Dreamer

Finding 13 in Mens shoes is hard also.

GnomeSlice

@RavenDreamer ...What does it sound like?

FallenAngelEyes

Finding prom shoes was hell

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Oh, I know. I needed dress shoes for an event once. That was a horrid ordeal. :(

Raven Dreamer

2:10 AM

@GnomeSlice You miss the point of a DIGITAL COMPOSITIONS class.

@GnomeSlice I'll share when I've got more of it.

@FallenAngelEyes tries to not read "prom" as "porn".

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes I solved that problem by not going to prom.

Ben Brocka

@RavenDreamer 12 is pretty tricky as well...and rather loosely defined

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn It's awful. The only shoes available from those sizes are just... ugh. Frumpy and ugly.

Grace Note

@AshleyNunn Same here, woo~

Tim Stone

@GraceNote At least I'm not the only one, then. There was a tiny bit of snow for a day or so, but all that led to was them throwing down more salt than there was precipitation. The outside of my car is unhappy.

Grace Note

2:12 AM

@TimStone Ours was similar, except we didn't even bother with sand and salt. It was entirely unnecessary.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn I went more than once actually, because my b/f was a year older than me, so I went to his junior prom, then mine, his senior, then mine.

Grace Note

We had snow for all of an hour on last Thursday.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote I'd enjoy them more if women's shoes in my size weren't horrible looking.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes This is why my brother did, haha. He went to his own prom one year, then went to a different prom at a different school the following year.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes We had like a semi-formal thing every year. I never went. I actually haven't been to a dance since the enforced dances at my school in 8th grade.

Tim Stone

2:13 AM

It was unnecessary here too, but for some obscure budgetary reasons they find it necessary to go all out every chance they get.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes This is probably a strong point.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, agreed. My grandma would wear em, if she wasn't a size 6.

Grace Note

@TimStone We can't convince people to even plow some drive ways after a snowstorm, so I think we have opposing concerns and worries.

Ben Brocka

Arg, youtube comments. Intelligence of discussion is inversely proportional to the popularity of the content

Tristan

@FallenAngelEyes so far so good. Will be better once I find my router so I don't have to keep using my phone. @Wipqozn glad you like it! It's an awesome song.

Tim Stone

2:15 AM

Heh, in Philadelphia they impose a fine if you don't take care of your walk within 48 hours. Of course, when the city can't be bothered to come around to plow the street it's a particularly good motivator...

Ben Brocka

Normal, 300 view video: interesting comments about a game. 30,000 view minecraft tutorial: "WHY U SO HARD TO MAKE ICE IN MINECRAFTS"

Tim Stone

Though I don't live there anymore, so largely free of that now anyway.

Grace Note

Heh

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn: How far are you in MLP?

user15026

@Wipqozn Just finished The Cutie Mark Chronicles (S1E23)

Wipqozn

2:17 AM

@AshleyNunn okay, then don't watch this video I'm about to link.

@Tristan @murgatroid99: Good compilation of some of the best scenes from Lesson Zero

Grace Note

Heehee, Lesson Zero.

Ben Brocka

@Wipqozn Hiiii Giiiiiirls!

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn That episode is funnier if you consider that the sun may have actually been doing that

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 hmm? What do you mean?

actually, one moment.

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn Who controls the sun?

Wipqozn

2:21 AM

@murgatroid99 ah, okay. Got it. Don't say anything else though, don't want to spoil anything for ashley :)

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn I know. That is a fun episode

Did I show you the giant chalk picture?

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 Yeah. I normally don't like TWilight Sparkle, but I really like Lesson Zero.

@murgatroid99 YEs! That was awesome.

GnomeSlice

You can get FUEL on Steam?

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn Ashley reminded me because it's from Cutie Mark Chronicles

GnomeSlice

Everyone should get it.

user15026

2:23 AM

@murgatroid99 I saw that earlier. It made me happy

FallenAngelEyes

@Tristan Woo!

@AshleyNunn I do like sexy boots though

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes When I can get a pair that fit my feet and my calves, I want a pair of knee-high black boots.

FallenAngelEyes

I'd totally get those if I could afford them.

GnomeSlice

How gothic.

FallenAngelEyes

They have grippy soles!

GnomeSlice

2:28 AM

Could be worse, I suppose.

Could be Stripper Boots (contains a sweet ass).

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice you should link that in text

GnomeSlice

I hate it when people wear boots like that.

Wipqozn

instead of posting it directly

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Oh. Probably.

Grace Note

Yes, I reckon a text link would fare you better.

user15026

2:29 AM

@FallenAngelEyes Those make me wish I could wear heels.

Wipqozn

thank you @gnome

Mana

@GnomeSlice I'm so proud.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn I'd probably kill myself wearing them as well, but damn if they don't look spiffy.

Mana

wipes tear from eye

GnomeSlice

@Mana Read it again.

Sterno

2:30 AM

This Shadow Broker DLC, where you can spy on your teammates emails, is pretty awesome.

Mana

@Sterno Yeah, I heard that DLC was amazing

FallenAngelEyes

@GnomeSlice Why?

GnomeSlice

@FallenAngelEyes They couldn't look any sluttier if they tried.

Sterno

Definitely the best of the bunch.

GnomeSlice

Which I'm guessing they do.

user15026

2:32 AM

@FallenAngelEyes I would turn both my ankles and not be able to walk for a week, but so nice.

Sterno

I get to see that Grunt rented "When Fauna Attacks!"

user15026

@GnomeSlice Eh, it is possible to wear boots like that and not look slutty.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn Ultimately, I just don't have anywhere or any occasion to wear these things, so I don't spend the money on them. I buy games instead.

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn I challenge this.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn Agreed. I also object to the notion of "looking slutty" but that's an entirely different conversation altogether.

user15026

2:34 AM

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, same goes. I like the idea of them, but I have nothing to wear them to, so I will just dream about owning them, and buy 3DS games XD

user15026

@GnomeSlice I suspect that it is a matter of perspective, but I know some classy women who wear that sort of boot.

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn I know some classy sluts who wear that sort of boot. What's your point.

(:P)

user15026

@GnomeSlice That not everyone who wears those are slutty?

Grace Note

I can think of nice and fancy thigh-boots, but not really on shiny-black leather.

GnomeSlice

They look slutty though.

Also, they're intimidating.

Wipqozn

2:36 AM

Yeah, there is a difference between being promiscuous and looking promiscuous

FallenAngelEyes

@GnomeSlice That's probably part of the point, in some cases.

GnomeSlice

Ooh, a boatshop!

user15026

@GnomeSlice Not necessarily, and that is my point. The fact that they "look slutty" is just a matter of opinion and perspective.

Wipqozn

this is a very unusual conversation for the bridge.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn So much sex negativity here, this saddens me.

user15026

2:37 AM

@FallenAngelEyes I have to agree with you here.

GnomeSlice

Oh would you people relax.

I'm just trolling.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Better word choice?

I didn't mean for it to come off in a negative tone, was just sticking with the term currently being used.

My apologies for any offense.

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn It's not so much the word choice as the idea behind it, in that promiscuity and/or having sex and enjoying it is inherently a bad thing in itself.

GnomeSlice

Jesus Christ, Jenni Lee has nice legs.

Also... don't Google her if there are other people around.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FallenAngelEyes Fo srs.

Wipqozn

2:40 AM

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I know what you mean, but that's not what I meant to portray in my sentence.

Like I said, poor word choice.

rlemon

anyone wanna play around with my latest SE chat userscript? (needs testing)

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn You should be ashamed of yourself.

user15026

@rlemon What's it do? :) I could poke about.

rlemon

keyboard commands for common text formatting (tags, links, bold, italics, strike-though)

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Well, I am a little bit. I don't like offending people, more so when it's because I misspeak and it looks like I'm expressing an opinion I don't which to express.

GnomeSlice

2:41 AM

ASHAMED

Ullallulloo

My computer is now fully fixed. :)

rlemon

view it here: github.com/rlemon/Chat-Easy-Input-Tools -- -- click here to install

Wipqozn

but now that I want to redeem myself, I agree with you @FallenAngelEyes.

rlemon

I would appreciate any feedback you guys could give.

user15026

@rlemon Oh, nifty. pokes at it

Ullallulloo

2:42 AM

Except the DMI pool and the new video card that's defective, but I don't need those, and they'd take a while to fix.

Wipqozn

The whole thing about "enjoying sex" is a bad thing comes more from the widespread popularity of Christianity more than anything.

GnomeSlice

Nobody says enjoying sex is a bad thing.

Don't talk about what you don't know.

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice ^this

GnomeSlice

inb4 this rule doesn't apply to me.

FallenAngelEyes

@GnomeSlice Calling people slutty implies that though.

GnomeSlice

2:44 AM

@FallenAngelEyes What, no it doesn't.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice I think you missed a couple comments.

Ullallulloo

@FallenAngelEyes Not really...

GnomeSlice

People who sleep around are slutty.

That's not even necessarily a bad thing either.

It's just a lifestyle.

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice the point is that that word has a negative connotation

user15026

@rlemon Is there a list of the shortcuts somewhere? Or are they standard shorcuts (like I would find in Word, etc)

GnomeSlice

2:45 AM

@murgatroid99 To some people, maybe. Lots of men I know like those qualities.

rlemon

@AshleyNunn in the README

Ullallulloo

@murgatroid99 Only to those that think it's a bad quality.

Wipqozn

Actually, @GnomeSlice has a point.

2

"Slut" doesn't have as bad of a connotation as it used to.

user15026

@rlemon Awesomesauce

rlemon

not well documented.. but i hate writing docs.

user15026

2:47 AM

@Wipqozn I think I must be in a vastly different microcosm of society than you.

murgatroid99

@Ullallulloo Wikipedia says the accepted connotation implies "low character". I am pretty sure a lot of people take it that way

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Why the fuck did that get starred.

@murgatroid99 So? Some people like that.

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice iz rare

GnomeSlice

Some people like uncomplicated people.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn I'm referring to the fact that many girls see to be wearing the term like a badge of honour. Teenage girls, mostly. I've seen more than my fair share of girls wearing shirts with nothing more than "Slut" on then.

Ullallulloo

2:49 AM

@murgatroid99 It kind of does mean that. I just mean not everyone dislikes that probably.

user15026

@rlemon _pokes at the extension _ seems to work for me! thisisatag

Ullallulloo

I have very conservative views.

Wipqozn

So it looks like amongst the the current teenage generation the term is starting to get a less negative connotation.

murgatroid99

@GnomeSlice Fine for a less subtle point, the next paragraph of the same page starts with "The term slut has therefore frequently been used as an insult."

user15026

@rlemon the italics seem borked.

rlemon

2:49 AM

@AshleyNunn can't have a space trailing a selection... that is a bug, I will eventually strip them ;) this is the same as in the main site editor.

Wipqozn

Considering @GnomeSlice's age, he would probably fall into this generation.

GnomeSlice

@murgatroid99 Sure it has.

Wipqozn

Hence why he doesn't think it has a negative connotation.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn I'm 19.

user15026

@rlemon Cool Other than that, it makes sense to me, and works well

murgatroid99

2:49 AM

@Wipqozn I am a teenager, so it's not just by age

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Exactly.

GnomeSlice

So, yes. I'm not saying I don't think it has a negative connotation.

If someone called a close friend of mine a slut, I'd be annoyed.

FallenAngelEyes

Many people use "slut" as a derogatory term (often for women), and it's basically kind of insulting because the implication is that it's a negative thing for women to have multiple sexual partners.

GnomeSlice

Unless she actually was a slut.

rlemon

@AshleyNunn cool, thankyou for the time/feedback

Ullallulloo

2:50 AM

I just don't really want to get in a debate about this, as I know that I'm in the minority.

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 That's what I mean. I'd say the age range of 16-20 falls into the generation I'm talking about.

murgatroid99

@FallenAngelEyes This is what I was trying to get across

GnomeSlice

I have other ladyfriends I refer to as 'slut' in casual conversation some times, because we both find it humourous.

user15026

@rlemon No problem! I quite like it. It is neat and saves me time.

OrigamiRobot

It doesn't matter what the word means. It matters what people mean by it.

rlemon

2:51 AM

@AshleyNunn that is always the main intention :)

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn and I am also 19, so my point still stands

GnomeSlice

And because she tends to sleep around a bit.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Yes, they do. I'm just saying that the generation gnome could be considered part of is starting to remove the negative stigma of the word.

Ullallulloo

@OrigamiRobot btw, after you linked to Fiverr in here, I got too busy.

GnomeSlice

I can't get suspend for reason "being an asshole" can I?

FallenAngelEyes

2:51 AM

Which is also insulting because there exists a double standard in society where when men have multiple sexual partners, it is often celebrated, whereas when women do, it's considered a negative stigma.

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 I don't know if you're agreeing or disagreeing with what I'm trying to say.

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn Well, not really.

Depends on the context, I guess.

I didn't word that very well.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice That's true for anything though.

@FallenAngelEyes Very true.

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo What do you do on there?

user15026

@rlemon Thanks for popping in and mentioning it. :D

murgatroid99

2:52 AM

@Wipqozn I just mean that I and people I know would probably view the word with a pretty heavy negative connotation, so the difference in view is not just generational

Ullallulloo

@OrigamiRobot Transcribing videos sounded easy. :P

But it takes a lot longer than the video does...

GnomeSlice

@FallenAngelEyes Probably because it widely considered difficult for a man to get laid, whereas a woman would rarely be turned down.

Ullallulloo

Who knew?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn But he wasn't using it positively at all, which is where my objection lies.

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 Oh, no. I'm not saying that everyone in that generation views it that way. I'm just saying that based on nothing more than observational evidence, the number of people in that generation which don't carry the negative connotation seems greater than older generations.

user15026

2:53 AM

@GnomeSlice Rarely get turned down? If she is "pretty", maybe.

Grace Note

...uh oh...

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn It's just the collective ideal.

FallenAngelEyes

@GnomeSlice Even if you consider that stereotype to be true, it still doesn't make the double-standard okay.

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn See also the euphemism treadmill

Euphemism

A euphemism is the substitution of a mild, inoffensive, relatively uncontroversial phrase, for a frank expression that might offend or otherwise suggest something unpleasant to the audience. Some euphemisms are intended to amuse, while others are created to mislead or at least put a positive spin on events. Euphemisms can also be used in the place of words considered profane. Usage (taboo; see etymology). Etymology The word euphemism comes from the Greek word ευφημία (euphemia), meaning "the use of words of good omen", which in turn is derived from the Greek root-words eu (ευ), "good/w...

GnomeSlice

@FallenAngelEyes Who said it was okay?

Wipqozn

2:55 AM

@FallenAngelEyes If you assume @gnome doesn't think the word has a negative connonantion (which based on his comments, I don't think he does), then I don't think he meant that in a negative light.

GnomeSlice

Why are you using me as an example.

When has most of the shit I post in here ever been considered 'okay'.

Mana

Uh oh.

2

Wipqozn

Although I agree that's what it looked like.

Raven Dreamer

My previously held notions are in danger of crumbling.

Abort! Abort! Pull up!
