I think they started breaking the free spotify on purpose
or something
because I'll use Spotify through my browser with an ad blocker
and I seem to get unlimited skips, complete song selection but then it just craps out after a while
and it hides behind the guise of "trying to reconnect"
 
@BlueBarren are you on the discord?
 
@Yuuki Not like that matters. Netflix offering is completely different if you cross a border.
 
@Avery I'm a member on our discord but am currently not on it, why?
 
@BlueBarren sending a PM
 
okay
I guess I'll pop outside to check discord on my phone
 
8:08 PM
(edited to official video)
 
Sigh. Crossing my fingers and hoping my attempt to be social with a new person doesn't backfire. Like most attempts in the last two years.

Q: Sanctuary Hills glitch

MaupOK so I've been playing fallout 4 with mods and lately I've been coming across sanctuary hills having purple hedges and some things load in at a certain angle I've tried removing certain mods affecting sanctuary and I need to know if anyone experiencing this problem has sorted it out

 
@MadMAxJr You've got this
 
8:24 PM
One is full of funnel web spiders, stonefish, dingos, and spiders as big as your torso.
 
And the other one is Australia.
right?
 
The other one is secretly a giant spider.
 
Aren't we all secretly giant spiders?
Side note, I really want to watch Enemy at some point.
 
@Dragonrage Sit there and take it as you contemplate ending your life.
/r/meirl
 
8:28 PM
yay, just got a call for a follow up interview for friday :)
 
@Dragonrage :D
 
the place has really good benefits and pretty solid pay, so i hope i get a job offer.
it is kinda far, so commuting will be kinda annoying though, but i could take the metro and avoid having to drive
 
yo what's a good lie about how you met somebody you're dating
 
user15026
Why do you gotta lie?
 
user15026
@Dragonrage exciting!
 
8:33 PM
@Ash Only thing I can think of, aside from "Crazy @GnomeSlice Shannigans", is he met them online and doesn't want to admit that? Which is silly, because the stigma around online dating is pretty dead at this point I think. At least in Canada.
 
no i met them in person
 
If your relationship has to be based on lies, you've already got problems. If it's just embarrassing or too revealing about certain things about you to say where you met, then flat out say you'd rather not discuss where you met.
 
"crazy shenanigans" is fairly accurate
 
@GnomeSlice you left out the @GnomeSlice descriptor, very important
 
@GnomeSlice "This is my girlfriend from Canada that I always talk about who is never able to visit."
This might not work as well for Canadians.
 
8:34 PM
I'm not the only one who engages in shenanigans you know
 
@Wipqozn It's @GnomeSlice saying it though, that's implied
@GnomeSlice Lies.
 
@GnomeSlice I'm pretty sure you are
In the whole world
 
And all of time
 
But just say you met them at the book store
 
user15026
@MadMAxJr or say as little as possible. We met at a party, we met at a local event thing, we met at a club, whatever.
 
8:35 PM
No people, say you met at the book store
 
I went to a show at a club with my female friend and we met her there
 
In the Classical section
 
How well does the "Canadian girlfriend" excuse work in Canada, btw?
 
There's nothing wrong with that statement.
 
@Wipqozn Oh that's a good one
 
user15026
8:35 PM
@GnomeSlice there you go, that's all you gotta say
 
Clubs are where you go to meet people.
 
and you were both reaching for the same copy of "Wuthering Heights"
 
@MadMAxJr good cause i left out some stuff
 
and then you made out right there in the middle of the book store!
 
@Wipqozn What on earth is wrong with you that you'd actually buy Wuthering Heights?
 
8:36 PM
welll
 
@GnomeSlice so what's wrong with just saying that?
 
user15026
@Yuuki gets a little weird, but like it can still work if you're like southern Ontario and then claim they're like from far northern
 
@Yuuki Dude that book is legit
 
@Wipqozn no no, either 50 shades of grey or atlas shrugged
 
@Chippies nothing, is that good?
 
8:36 PM
The awkward solution is to yell "AM I BEING DETAINED?" and walk away from the question.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice hun I think you are overthinking this
 
are you expecting people to interrogate you?
 
Agree. Overthinking. You met at a club, likely had a good time, agreed to meet again.
 
Like seriously, unless you two get married then no one actually cares how you met your partner @GnomeSlice
 
user15026
8:37 PM
People really don't care about specifics when they ask, it's generally more of a I ask because it feels like the polite thing to do to indicate interest more than anything
 
@GnomeSlice I mean, why is it not good? Who are you making this lie up for anyway? Would they be opposed to meeting someone at a club show? Why is this even a problem?
 
@Wipqozn IDK maybe
 
> Wuthering Heights is the story of a group of people who eat the most miserable meals imaginable, and cannot experience love as a result. Sometimes they have tea, but more often they are merely offered it, and decide they are too furious to have tea, and die instead.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn even then they really don't care that much
 
people ask things they don't care about all the time
 
user15026
8:37 PM
The whole idea you need this long involved meet cute story is just for the land of romance novels and mommy bloggers
 
@Ash Actually I should have added in "then your kids might care"
 
no but "i met them in a threesome" is a little trashy
 
I hate when people greet me with "hey, how's it going?", because my mind goes all like "hmm, how is it actually going?" and I stop to think and by then the person is already gone
 
@Wipqozn since when do you need to get married to have kids?
 
You can gloss over that detail.
 
8:38 PM
@GnomeSlice why would you ever tell someone that?
 
user15026
Literally all I say is "we were part of the same Internet community and we talked a lot and stuff just fell out of that"
 
I mean aside to brag "I was in a threesome", which is what I assume you're doing right now
 
We met at a HUMAN club and engaged in HUMAN social engagements.
 
no but like people are gonna guess wont they
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice dude you know when people ask this stuff you don't have to give them every detail yeah?
 
8:39 PM
@GnomeSlice you probably met them before the threesome, unless it was some sort of blindfolded bondage kind of threesome
 
@GnomeSlice what kind of people do you hang out with?
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice likely not. You seriously overestimate how much people care
 
so clubs are acceptable or
 
Decent people won't guess if you give them a basic response.
 
"How'd you meet?"
"oh just at a friends place"
"cool"
 
user15026
8:39 PM
@GnomeSlice acceptable to who?
 
@Wipqozn colleagues mostly lol
 
@GnomeSlice I just assumed that's where the cool kids meet people these days anyway
 
that's how normal humans have a normal human conversation
 
@GnomeSlice wat. No. People do not default to "they met in a club, they had a threesome"
 
Clubs have been a means of meeting people for generations and is generally more acceptable than "We met on the internet."
 
8:39 PM
@Ash idk "most people"
 
like, where else do you meet people? I guess anywhere if you're not socially awkward, but, like...
 
user15026
We met at a club. Done. The details don't matter.
 
@Arperum tbf it is gnome
 
@GnomeSlice "Did you meet her/him in a threesome" is not on the list of questions I'd ask my sister's prospective SO.
 
user15026
@MadMAxJr true that
 
8:40 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I still rest my case.
 
user15026
@Yuuki Yeah how many people were naked when you met isn't usually on my list of questions I care to ask
 
omg I'm so dumb
6
 
"Oh you met someone? Great! SELECT * FROM GNOMESLICE.SEXUAL_ACTS ORDER BY SCORE;"
You're not a database and they can't demand full info.
 
I mean, the less I know about my sister getting naked, the more stable my mind is.
 
@Ash Weirdo
 
8:41 PM
Sorry @gnome, the only reason we know, or would have ever guessed is because you told us.
 
user15026
Like seriously you gotta realize you don't gotta volunteer nearly as much info as you do about pretty much all the things
 
I'm bad at keeping secrets...
real bad
 
user15026
It's not about keeping secrets
 
Focus on moving the discussion past that top and on to generally acceptable things. What do you like about them? What do you have in common? When are you going to see her again?
And honestly, if they ask beyond that, it's none of their goddamn business.
 
Well, one key rule to remember about social interaction is that people typically don't like to talk about other people getting naked and so will usually avoid that topic.
 
user15026
8:42 PM
Like not giving everyone every detail of your life isn't keeping secrets.
 
omg okay this is embarrassing now my bad
got it
 
I mean all of my relationships have ended in agreeing to part ways, betrayal, and the last one, complete fraud, but I can at least speak on casual conversation.
 
user15026
It's just realzing most people don't care about every detail of someone else's stuff. They really don't.
 
And some people try to actively avoid details about other people's lives.
 
@MadMAxJr And if you end up answering, it's their own fault for getting TMI'd.
 
8:44 PM
Huh. This song's chords sound very, very much like "Free Fallin'".
 
@GnomeSlice well yes this is what happens when you give people details about your sex life
 
"Cool, what are you two doing this weekend?" "We're going up to the floating continent to throw the three statues that control magical balance out of order and fling the world into chaos of such magnitude that continents are reshaped."
 
@Yuuki that song is pretty basic
 
Speaking of which, I should probably start supper.
 
8:44 PM
I think I'm stuck in the house for a while
 
user15026
@Chippies ew
 
@Chippies wtf
 
@Chippies CANADA
 
I'm glad I'm off tonight, but that's still gonna be there tomorrow and there's going to be more of it...
 
~ CANADA ~
 
8:45 PM
this is our back step :)
that fence btw is like 12+ feet high
 
user15026
Noooooope
 
@Chippies No. That's a picture of antarctica.
 
@Chippies this is making me fear canada lol
 
this is a picture of Antarctica :P
@Avery as long as you stay away from the east and the north, you should be okay
 
@Chippies Why would you even want to live there?
 
8:47 PM
or more specifically - Newfoundland, especially central Newfoundland
 
@Arperum OH YOU SWEET SUMMER CHILD
SWEET SWEET SUMMER CHILD
 
@Arperum Idk, because I'm not smart?
 
@GnomeSlice Yeah, but most of them there's something to distract me from the fact that they use the exact same chords with the exact same rhythm.
 
Canada is basically The North from ASOIAF
 
@Wipqozn I DO NOT LIVE NEAR @PrivatePansy I KNOW WINTER. JUST NOT INSANE CANADIAN MURDERSNOW.
 
8:49 PM
@Wipqozn IT IS CURRENTLY APRIL
WINTER IS OVER
 
@Arperum "Insane Canadian Murdersnow. I like it.
 
to be fair, we have some of the worst snow in (inhabited) Canada. Other places aren't that bad
 
@KevinvanderVelden WINTER NEVER IS OVER
 
@Chippies wherever accepts I'll go I guess
 
we're getting 50-70cm today
 
8:49 PM
even quebec (reasoning of "even": french official language)
 
@KevinvanderVelden THIS. SO MUCH THIS.
 
(I should go back to french on duolingo)
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'll post more pics in may
 
@Wipqozn @Chippies DISAGREES.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I still have giant snowbanks in my parking lot, and we're getting a few CM on wednesday
@Arperum oops, thank god for mod abuse!
 
8:50 PM
Waht global warming
 
aka I missed a word
 
"never is over"?
 
@Unionhawk HOW CAN GLOBAL WARMING BE REAL IF THERE ARE STILL MONKEYS
wait wrong meme
 
@Wipqozn YES. AND YOU ADDED IT IN IN THE WRONG PLACE
 
@Wipqozn just as logically coherent in that form
 
8:52 PM
Through 5:30 PM NDT, Gander #YQX has reported 30 cm of snow today. That's 96 cm since the middle of last week. #nlwx
I think that's more snow than most places get in a year
 
@Arperum Well my laziness has taken over
@KevinvanderVelden see above
 
@Chippies ten years
easy.
 
user15026
@Chippies good lord
 
@Wipqozn that replie wasn't about the never in the wrong place
 
Snow depth in Gander increasing as we speak, but the all time record has been broken, per @rcbstormpost's last twee… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/848992984028917761
I guess records are being broken
 
8:54 PM
@Chippies I don't think I've seen that much snow in all the time since I moved to California
 
@murgatroid99 doesn't it snow in California like once every 10 years or so? :P
 
It snows in California every year
 
What's "snow"?
 
It's a big state
 
Canada is nice. I went up into Kelowna, BC.

Q: What comes with Overwatch Origins Edition?

Heroes Never DieI'm considering buying Overwatch Origins Edition for Xbox One. What is included in this edition?

 
@Yuuki the fluffy stuff that sometimes gets in your freezer
 
Huh, I've never heard anyone talk about snow in California, it's always just about how "cold" it is, when it's like +20C
 
I have a friend out on Newfoundland. It is a small place with some creature comforts.
 
@KevinvanderVelden Do people in Canada just throw that stuff out the door or something?
Why would they be surprised at how much there is if they keep throwing it out?
 
Driving up to Kelowna from Oklahoma City though was an experience.
 
8:57 PM
@Chippies I'm counting the times that I visited New Jersey during the winter
 
I did not realize southern BC is trees, mountains, and creatures of the woods.
 
@Yuuki yeah, you think they're all nice and polite but actually they're all like jerks like @Wipqozn
 
Like signs that say 'Next cell phone signal, 30km'
 
@MadMAxJr that's what most of Newfoundland is like. Minus the cell phone signal signs - it's generally implied that there is no signal anywhere that's not a big town
when I first got here, my mom kept nagging me to send photos of here. So we drove 4 hours to parents-in-law and I took pictures of all the trees on the way
 
How many SD cards did you use?
 
8:59 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah I'm great
 
even in Ontario there's no cell signal in a lot of rural places
 
Our rural places often have fiber internet
 
@KevinvanderVelden ... pls 2 giv
 
@Chippies George Street in St. John's is a hell of a thing.
 
> Turkey – We received 6 requests for the removal of one post and 6 subreddits which contained material that fell under the scope of “obscenity” in the Turkish Criminal Code which, in turn, constitutes grounds for a website to be blocked under the Turkish Internet Law. The post and subreddits were blocked from Turkish IPs.
 
9:01 PM
@Yuuki 50/50 for 50 euros a month, including digital interactive tv and phone
 
Turkey had been blocking gay communities but not straight ones. I'm surprised they didn't list the subs.
 
@KevinvanderVelden just one. My phone had a shitty camera
 
Oh! Even better, 100/100 for 40
I wonder what the catch to that is, probably limited discount
 
I do have a 150/50 fiber for 80$/month, so that's worth something
 
gay = heresy
straight = go ahead
 
9:03 PM
I forget what it's called... There's a local ritual in pubs where non-islanders have to drink a beer, kiss a cod, then recite a local saying to become locals.... for the duration of their stay.
 
in a normal world both would be fine but meh
 
@Chippies For 80 per month there's 500/500 available apparently
With a year contract and a ~40% discount the first half year
 
@MadMAxJr screeching (or however it's spelled).
 
I guess i'm a double heretic. I strive to find people I can stand for more than 20 minutes near my personal space. I have no plans for contact beyond that.
 
I never did it and don't plan to do it, unless the newfies do it as well, because even though I don't mind the actual stuff involved, I just don't think I should have to do something that someone else tells me to do, when they themselves have not had to do it.
 
9:05 PM
@Chippies Yeah, that's place-ist.
 
@KevinvanderVelden internet is not cheap here, so 80$ is actually cheap. In our old apartment, we had DSL at 7/2 for 65$
 
Also fun fact: I'm in the middle of a decent-sized town: Can't get those speeds=p
 
I'm in a 10k population town. I do live on one of the biggest streets though
 
I live on the street with 90% off the shops
 
no shops on our street. Living space is usually separated from the shopping areas around here, from what I have seen
 
9:08 PM
Time for bed \o chat
 
The screech is a relatively harmless bar gag usually used to get a laugh out of mainlanders being unable to pronounce newfie slang.
I mean everybody gets some rum, so it's not all bad.
But anyway, Newfoundland. You want to visit George Street.
George Street is a small street located in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, that is known for its many bars and pubs. The two-block long street houses nothing but bars, pubs and restaurants. George Street is open only to pedestrians in the evenings and during most of the business day, being open to traffic only in the mornings to allow bars to restock their goods. The street does not usually become crowded with people until later at night, around midnight, and will remain busy until early in the morning, possibly as early as 6 am, despite the absence of the sale of alcohol. There are however...
 
9:26 PM
@MadMAxJr maybe only a bar gag if you're just visiting for a little bit. If you move here to live, everyone will ask you if you've been "screeched in"...
 
Time to forge a screech certificate and hide in the underground.
Or a much more friendly version of Papers Please.
 
babymetal is the weirdest band ever
on one hand it has proper metal in back but the vocals are just off
but the vocals are good on their own
 
@MadMAxJr which cod? modern warfare?
 
As in the fish.
 
So @turkeyblocks is crediting me for one of the crazy discoveries
let's see how it goes.

Q: Why don't we keep public records of suspensions?

Jon EricsonWhenever the topic of a suspended user crops up, there's often confusion about what information moderators ought to share and what they should keep private. Sometimes moderators are just as unsure as other users. This can cause all sorts of unnecessary problems. The immediate effect of a suspen...

Interesting stats.
 
9:57 PM
@Avery Uh oh.
 
yay found another sub
and yay it's also lgbt
 
10:12 PM
@Avery What do you mean?
@Avery They are pretty awesome live!
 
@Arperum I've made some wild guesses on what this means and hit 3 of the 6 blocked subs:
1 hour ago, by Avery

The post and subreddits were blocked from Turkish IPs.
 
@Frank its interesting to see which mods are upset by the thought of their modly communications being made public
 
@Avery So basically you're a criminal now?
 
no
 
According to turkey anyway.

@Frank @MadScientist if you are talking about me there you can say whatever you want, it's fine
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune It feels more to me like people worried about the general community looking at it and stuff than anything but I haven't read all the comments and things
 
@Avery what's “obscenity” under the Turkish Criminal Code? calling your president a poop head?
 
@Memor-X nope. /r/turkey is fine.
 
10:17 PM
@Ash to clarify, @MadScientist's answer makes perfect sense to me, I was referring to a comment made by a mod from a dramatic election
 
@GodEmperorDune I find it's more about people complaining about their, "unfair" suspension.
 
@Frank and the "user X slighted me, why didn't you ban them yet"
 
@GodEmperorDune Yep.
 
and then shog dropping truth on them
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune ah, yes
 
10:18 PM
@Arperum There aren't separate laws on obscene (obscene in this context is nsfw) content: all kind of sexual preferences fall under one roof. As the general stuff isn't illegal, neither is the stuff they banned.
However all 3 I found are subs related to one specific sexual preference and I can confirm that 3 of them are perfectly legal.
and I checked over 100 subs

Dear God, Facebook pushes the wedding stuff hard core once you change your status to engaged.
 
@Ash sorry bout that, i need my ad revenues

@GodEmperorDune it's not just the ads! It keeps recommending people in case I wanna make a wedding planning Facebook group and stuff

I'm just like Facebook shhhhh let me bask in the bittersweet glow of my bismuth based happiness for a while
 
11:27 PM
@Ash surely you'll have RIP @spugsley take pics

Oh man I can barely even think about that stuff lol i am just like holy crap it's so much planning
 
@Ash you have all the time
perhaps even enough time to set up an orphanage in new york city
 
high level grifts are fun
 
@Chippies ahhhhhhhhh
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune hahaha yeah I have all the time. :)
 
11:39 PM
@Avery that's just for closing the grift :)
 
user15026
@Chippies all the levels!
 
man I missed diablo
 
@Avery perhaps i meme unironically
umm... dab... darth plageuis...bamboozled
there, meming complete
 
@GodEmperorDune bamboozle memes gave me 3k rep
 
i've said bamboozle so much this weekend that my wife banned it in our home
 
11:48 PM
and it just keeps on giving :)
 
@GodEmperorDune it's a great word to say tbh.
has some racist background to it, but other than that, amazing word, amazing meme

@Chippies the levels just keep coming!

@Chippies 2500 here
 
@Avery that's some Twitch streamer level of dedication there
 
@Avery hope you don't get blowback fam
 
@GodEmperorDune I've mailed them and they fixed it already
still a risk of blowback
 
@Avery it links to your twitter when i checked it just now
 
yeah I'm aware
that's intentional
 
11:56 PM
oh, ok
 
The problem is I never gave them my full name
only handle and used "ave" as name
 
so they probably did some stalking (or guesswork!) to find my name, which is annoying.
plus I don't use arda anymore outside legal and school contexts
 
sup y'all
