Q: Should we make an exception to the "Identify This Game" ban if the question explicitly states the series or franchise the game is from?

There has been some discussion in chat about allowing "identify this game" questions if the asker can narrow the game down to being part of a specific franchise or series. This discussion is prompted by the following question: Castlevania game title Start of discussion in The Bridge: https://c...

discussion

Yuuki

@BlueBarren And yes, even when they provide media from the source, ITG questions have a lot of inherent problems.

BlueBarren

which is probably why it wasn't closed

Nzall

Feel free to edit the meta question for clarifications if you think it's not accurate towards the discussion.

Yuuki

2:02 PM

For one, they're highly localized. If you view SE sites as an extension of SO's original purpose, being a database of programming experience for future developers, ITG questions are problematic because they are very unlikely to help future gamers.

Nzall

or if I made a mistake in how the question should be posed. maybe I shouldn't have included the main arguments in favor and against in the question

Beedrill

@Nzall Answers can go into more detail, I think it looks fine.

Nzall

2:25 PM

@Beedrill Have we definitely decided what we consider eligible as a concrete piece of the game when it comes to game ID questions? Like, we now have discussion about a cheat code. What about a distinctive piece of text, like a location only from that game, or a character name, or a quote?

Frank

@n_palum i tried searching that too, but it doesn't look like this game at all — Karokendo 31 mins ago

That highlights exactly why a game series is no exception to the rule.

BlueBarren

@Frank I'm curious what the asker means by "doesn't look like this game at all" because if that's the case then is it really a Castlevania game? They all look rather similar

n_palum

^ if they know it doesn't look like that, do they know what it looks like?

If it doesn't at all look like that, it's likely not at all a Castevania game

BlueBarren

So then the info they provided on the series would be wrong

n_palum

Baffles me that they can remember something like a cheatcode but not the name of the game

BlueBarren

2:31 PM

which would then indicate that providing a series you think the game belongs to wouldn't help

After that comment from the asker I think I agree with @Frank

n_palum

Yeah..

I didn't mean to make a big fuss over it, I just thought there was enough information, I was proven wrong, I will accept that and move on. Forgot we aren't supposed to add media to those, again accepting that and moving forward with new knowledge.

Frank

We've had people whistle a tune as trying to meet the requirement for game identification before.

It was actually pretty good. But still not a part of the game.

DanmakuGrazer

@Frank Would you happen to have a link?

@DanmakuGrazer bows

DanmakuGrazer

@Elizer Awwww

ToxicFrog

@Frank tbf if someone could accurately whistle, say, the Wing Commander theme, that's pretty distinctive

Elizer

I love puns. They're so very punny.

Frank

2:36 PM

On the flip side, we had one where someone did provide a screenshot, but...it was all black with a bit of blue. We deleted that one, too.

ToxicFrog

It seems like there's a lot of scope for screenshots that don't help at all.

Frank

@ToxicFrog And we do allow remixes. But that's still a non-memory artifact. Which moves it from fallible memory over to, "where is this piece from?" objectivity.

ToxicFrog

nods

Yuuki

I personally see the audiovisual artifact rule as an expression of "we really don't like ITG questions and would honestly prefer that they be banned completely but that would involve a whole bunch of blowback that we really would rather avoid so here's a rule that should filter out most of the worst ITG questions so we aren't overwhelmed". So arguing over what counts as an audiovisual artifact or whether some criterion filters the ITG search space enough to be reasonable is missing the point.

In my opinion.

Chippies

@Yuuki very unlikely, but not impossible. I've had times where I'm trying to identify a game by memory and I found the answer because of some forum post where someone else was trying to identify the same game

Q: What is the bronze "shield" currency?

In Injustice 2 on mobile you earn different currencies for completing challenges, missions etc. One of the main ones you seem to get from the daily achievements is a bronze shield kind of thing with a up arrow in it. What is this for?

I have a few heroes now and I'm trying to level up their star rating but I can't figure out how to do it. How can I do this?

badp

@Yuuki nah, if we wanted to kill ITGs we would have killed ITGs

there is no need to kill all ITGs, however.

Yuuki

@badp Can we try though?

Pwease?

badp

Why?

Frank

As much as I was against the rule when we implemented it, I don't really see any issues with our current exception.

Other than the massive upvotes we get on all of them.

BlueBarren

@Chippies honestly reverse image searches or just remembering a key feature of the game to google has always given me my answers. I've never needed to ask someone else

Elizer

2:43 PM

@BlueBarren True dat.

BlueBarren

Like "Space RPG where player character is bad at dancing" equals Mass Effect

Chippies

@BlueBarren that's the flaw I see with the current state of ITG's. If we have screenshots, it's super simple to find the game, which makes the question so simple, it may not even be worth asking

but there's plenty of people who don't know how to reverse image search, so there's that...

BlueBarren

@Chippies really why couldn't the asker just reverse search it themselves?

Chippies

usually the games I need to identify are games from the past that were somewhat obscure and the info I remember is not ideal

BlueBarren

@BlueBarren wow I'm disappointed that when you google that you don't actually get results that say "Mass Effect".

Chippies

2:46 PM

of course it's simple to identify Mass Effect, it's super popular and somewhat unique

BlueBarren

@Chippies maybe a bad example then

But I think you get the point

Chippies

the difficulty of identifying games comes from identifying games from 90's/early 2000's that weren't GOTY material

BlueBarren

I also have the benefit of having a brother who plays games. We both played the same games in our childhood so if I don't remember it I can always ask him if he remembers

Avery

this game wasn't GOTY material but it wasn't hard to find it

Chippies

2:48 PM

@Avery it does have a screenshot though

Avery

I think that we should set an objective limit and leave finding it to users.

Chippies

like I said - questions with screenshots are so simple to find, they're kinda pointless

DanmakuGrazer

@Avery I thought you were a Jumpluff

Avery

@Chippies yes. It wouldn't be much harder to find it if it was just a description though.

Chippies

I will never use ITG on Arqade myself because I can reverse image search myself, and if I don't have a screenshot, it's off-topic. The whole ITG is useless to me

Avery

2:49 PM

@DanmakuGrazer I'm a fidget spinner, you got bamboozled again.

cc @GodEmperorDune for use of "bamboozle"

Chippies

@Avery really depends on how it's described. Since there's no actual description in that question, you're just assuming it would be easy

n_palum

@Avery "I was a pleasure to help you. – Avery Apr 16 at 5:32"

Everytime I open that, I self-cringe at that typo.

@Avery clearly your new avatar is a pokemon evolution though even if you evolved into a fidget spinner

Avery

It's my alola form.

BlueBarren

2:52 PM

@Avery you cringe, I laugh. I think that comment is gold.

Chippies

Elizer

@Avery HA! I love your picture! It's Hilarious!!

BlueBarren

it's one of those "fun" mistakes

Avery

@Chippies oh, that's great (in terms of similarity)

Nzall

> I'm looking for this GBA outfit with a guy wearing a blue suit, and he jumps around in a blue environment and collects these orange things

Avery

2:53 PM

@Elizer heh, thanks to the friend who made it I guess

Chippies

@Avery I mean, it is a real pokemon

BlueBarren

@Nzall oh I know this one, Megaman

Nzall

Nope, I'm not talking about Avery's Game, but about mario

Avery

@BlueBarren nope, it's galidor

Nzall

or the one BlueBarren mentioned

Private Pansy

2:53 PM

Today I learnt that my home internet connection is horrible compared to the office

Nzall

@Avery Nope, it's Mario Advanced

BlueBarren

And that right there folks is the problem with game-identification that doesn't include a screenshot

Chippies

@Nzall Sonic?

Avery

shrug yeah

MadMAxJr

What is with these fidget spinners? My boss was playing with one all through the morning meeting. D:

Private Pansy

2:54 PM

I wrote a small update script that pulls down information from about a hundred servers around the world. At the office it finishes in less than 10 seconds, so I set it on a one minute timer and let it run in the background

MadMAxJr

In the future all things are spinners.

Nzall

And Sonic also works

Chippies

@MadMAxJr it's a horrible fad. There's more fidget spinners in schools than students these days

Elizer

OH! I just remembered I made a wallpaper. Do you guys want to see it?

Private Pansy

At home, the same script now takes 90 seconds to complete, and so the timer starts running multiple instances of them at the same time, at which point horrible things start to happen

Q: How do I earn Hero Shards?

It seems there is a currency in Injustice 2 for mobile called Hero Shards. I've been unable to work out how you earn this so far. How can you?

injustice-2-mobile

Nzall

So that's 4 different games that fit the same description. That's what's problematic with ITG questions

Private Pansy

Specifically, fs.writeFile will do really weird things

BlueBarren

@MadMAxJr they're both a fun, distracting toy or a devastating death machine rolled into one. Apparently that appeals to people.

Avery

@MadMAxJr they're things that helps those with adhd and various types of autism or even neurotypical people immensely, but they're pretty much in hands of everyone even if it helps them or not. It gained a meme value for that. I personally love it because of adhd, but can't use one because they're banned here.

MadMAxJr

I assume they're secret alien communication devices.

BlueBarren

2:56 PM

@Elizer idk what does it look like?

Private Pansy

I think it might be because the fd is cached or something, but fs.writeFile started appending instead of overwriting

MadMAxJr

What's worse is they're goddamn distracting. I had to ask my boss if she could stop it long enough for me to finish giving my report.

Nzall

@Avery Many schools banned them because they think people get distracted by them, but it's actually the reverse.

BlueBarren

Better question, is it SFW?

Avery

@Nzall it's not

kinda

Private Pansy

2:57 PM

Which caused a 6MB file to grow to 190MB. Which is fun.

Elizer

@BlueBarren Yes

Yuuki

Fidget spinners are apparently such a big thing that kids who play LoL are calling Draven's axes "fidget spinners".

Chippies

@Nzall it's reverse for those who need it. For the rest of them, yes - it's distracting

Elizer

MadMAxJr

Quite.

BlueBarren

2:57 PM

@Elizer well I would suggest hyperlinking it, not embedding it

Chippies

kids in schools ignore teachers and don't do their work, because they're busy spinning their spinners (my wife is a teacher, she hates those things)

Elizer

@BlueBarren How do ya do dat?

Nzall

@PrivatePansy There's an easy solution: use timestamped files and delete them after 10 iterations

Avery

@Avery most people who use it here stated that it stresses them out and is distractive.

BlueBarren

@BlueBarren aaannndd that didn't happen

MadMAxJr

2:58 PM

Yes. My boss wasn't paying attention for a bit with her spinner.

ToxicFrog

@PrivatePansy awesome

Avery

@Elizer [link's text](link goes here). example is link's text

MadMAxJr

I'm wondering if she ended up getting one from the convention last week....

BlueBarren

@Elizer you'd have to post it somewhere like imgur then link to it here

MadMAxJr

I'm going to blame aliens for this.

Private Pansy

2:59 PM

@Nzall The simple script is suppose to aggregate some data and stick it at a fixed location served by a static server to a simple web page to display

Avery

@Elizer the top of the triforce isn't perfect and that's messing a lot with my head.

Elizer

@BlueBarren Well shoot. Imgur doesn't work on my computer.

Private Pansy

Having timestamps would mean a lot more complications on both sides

BlueBarren

@Chippies kids are going to ignore what's happening in class no matter what's in their hands

Nzall

@PrivatePansy I see. Is it important that it refreshes every minute? why not refresh it every 2 minutes?

BlueBarren

3:00 PM

@Elizer there are other image hosters, imgur is just the first one that comes to my mind

Avery

ALSO, to make matters worse, the sound of people spinning them really did get distractive for me

Chippies

@BlueBarren which is why they shouldn't have non-school-related-things in their hands when they're supposed to be working

Private Pansy

@Nzall Yeah, that's my solution - instead of using fixed interval, have a delay instead

Avery

@BlueBarren I like imagebin.ca

Elizer

@Avery Sorry. I tried to make it as good as I could. Hang on. I'll Try to fix that.

Avery

3:00 PM

or well, s.ave.zone, but imagebin is my fav public one.

BlueBarren

@Chippies you don't need something in your hands to distract you from school. School is boring sometimes and you're going to not pay attention anyways

Chippies

@BlueBarren also, this became a much worse issue since fidget spinners became trendy.

BlueBarren

@Avery what a convenient bin to hold all my images.

@Chippies A kid could just as distracted by a pencil

Source: I've done it

Chippies

@BlueBarren let me know when the whole class is distracted by a pencil together

BlueBarren

@Chippies depends on what the kid is doing with the pencil

Chippies

3:02 PM

it's a lot worse when everyone has a thing to distract them with, especially when it's fun and everyone else in the class is doing it

BlueBarren

if they're throwing it into the ceiling then more than just that kid will be distracted

Avery

well, considering half the school sleeps on first class or so, I believe that's more distractive

ToxicFrog

@PrivatePansy this sounds easy to fix but now I'm really curious about how fs.writeFile is going wrong

Avery

I'm... somewhere in middle with fidget toys. ALA they're silent, they should be allowed.

ToxicFrog

What language?

Avery

3:03 PM

fs.writeFile reminds me of node

Private Pansy

@ToxicFrog Node.js. The docs specifically warns against using writeFile to write to the same file simultanously

Chippies

@BlueBarren I mean, if we're going completely hypothetical here then this conversation may as well just be hypothetical as well. I'm just stating the fact that fidget spinners are, overall, bad in schools

Private Pansy

Come to think of it, the writing to file part of the code shouldn't take that much time - the network is the slow part

BlueBarren

@Chippies Who said it was hypothetical? I'm a student, I see this stuff

ToxicFrog

So it does. I wonder what the root cause is, though.

Private Pansy

3:04 PM

So the probability of collision shouldn't be high

BlueBarren

When people don't want to pay attention they won't

Private Pansy

I really have no idea what happened there

Avery

@BlueBarren what you said

Elizer

@BlueBarren @Avery There is that better?

imagebin.ca/v/3MYwsykwgMAW

Avery

I like this one more

BlueBarren

3:05 PM

@Elizer yes

Chippies

@BlueBarren if they distract other students, then it is a problem

Private Pansy

@ToxicFrog It was easy to fix, but I was scratching my head at why my frontend code was suddenly becoming slower and slower

Elizer

@Avery Thank You!

Private Pansy

Not surprising given that the frontend was loading a 170MB JSON file

Elizer

Lunch Time! Laters.

ToxicFrog

3:06 PM

Yeah, that would do it

BlueBarren

@Chippies a problem of the teacher holding their classes attention. There are only a few scenarios where I can see it not being a teacher's course content or a students uninterest in the class. Examples would be a fight, or a lock down, something of extreme nature

Chippies

@BlueBarren children in general aren't interested in school stuff, but playing with a fidget spinner instead of working is not a solution

BlueBarren

I'm a strong believer of if a student wants to pay attention/learn they will make the choice to do so. If they don't they will also make that choice to do so. It's not a teacher's job to force them to pay attention or participate, it's their job to encourage and make them want to participate

MadMAxJr

I'm a strong believer in 'Could you stop spinning that while I'm talking to you?'

Chippies

if you're talking about college and university students then sure - they're old enough to know better and if they still choose to ignore the teacher then that's on them

I'm talking about elementary and early high school kids

that's where fidget spinners seem to be the most problematic anyway

BlueBarren

3:10 PM

@Chippies I'm thinking middle school and up so maybe that's where the difference lies

If it's elementary school kids I see your point

It's when they have the cognitive understanding to make those choices like where they want to focus.

Chippies

@BlueBarren middle school and up isn't (shouldn't be) as big of an issue, because they should know the difference between having to do school work and playing with their toys and being distracting

children will almost always prefer their toys over school work and that's where the problem lies

BlueBarren

@MadMAxJr I whole-hardheartedly agree if someone is directly talking to you.

Chippies

especially when "everyone is doing it" mentality is strong

MadMAxJr

I expect there to be a Dr.Who episode about these spinners.

Chippies

because everyone is doing it

BlueBarren

3:12 PM

@Chippies well even a lot of teenagers still suffer from that though if you classify a device like a smartphone as a "toy"

Chippies

@BlueBarren which is why smartphones are banned in lessons in many schools

BlueBarren

@Chippies I don't like that idea

Avery

@Chippies it's banned here too

BlueBarren

I saw it in school and I can say the classes that enforced those rules ended up being considerably more boring

Frank

@Chippies That's a good idea. At best, its a distraction.

Chippies

3:13 PM

@BlueBarren why though? My wife is a substitute teacher, so she works in different schools and the ones with phones banned has the best kids

Avery

but nearly everyone hides it and gets away with it

Chippies

they respect the teachers and actually are interested in working

Avery

this message was def not posted in religion studies class

MadMAxJr

"Doctor, the world has gone mad!" "What is it [companion]?" "Everybody is just playing with these damned spinners!" Sonic screwdriver sound "My god! It's a psycho-reactive device to harness and farm kinetic energy!"

BlueBarren

@Chippies I find that's the opposite. More students are annoyed and resentful of teachers when they're controlled to that degree

Chippies

3:14 PM

if the phones are allowed, there's nothing a teacher can do to get their attention and anything they could do would just piss them off more and pissed off kids don't work well

MadMAxJr

I'm going to spin my Nokia phone in my fingers until this fad passes.

Chippies

@BlueBarren if it's a one-time thing or they are the only ones whose phone gets taken away then yes, but if it's a school-wide ban, they get used to it easily

BlueBarren

And the teachers who enforce those rules are the ones who are so boring that can't hold someone's attention hence ban people from doing something more interesting

Chippies

@BlueBarren which is why it has to be a school-wide ban, not a specific teacher ban

it actually works really well when it's a school-wide ban

unless for some reason the schools where the phones are banned coincidentally have the best children

BlueBarren

This is all from the perspective of a class specific ban scenario so I guess I'm biased

Chippies

3:17 PM

@BlueBarren that's why there have to be no exceptions

if you are allowed to have your phone in one class, but not in another, you're obviously going to question this decision and probably rebel

BlueBarren

@Chippies kids will still not pay attention if they want to though

a school wide ban on something just means they'll find something else to preoccupy themselves with

but we've already gone over all of that

I actually didn't get a cellphone until high school

Chippies

I never implied that kids will somehow magically become learning machines if we take away their smartphones and fidget spinners

BlueBarren

grade 9 specifically

@Chippies you did not, apologies for potentially implying that

Chippies

but by adding more and more potential distractions in the classroom environment, it's definitely not helping either

BlueBarren

there are always things they can't take away though

like doodling

I used to doodle

Chippies

3:20 PM

if it's not distracting to others then at least it's one student lost, instead of a domino effect

Tweeted by PAYOLETTER on May 15, 2017 at 3:16 PM

Chippies

anyways, pretty sure every major fad has been disruptive in schools

BlueBarren

then one day in grade 7 we had one of the faculty substitute for our teacher (like it wasn't an actual substitute but another teacher who worked at our school) and he saw me doodling all over my page and he sternly told me to stop that and I shouldn't be doing that

and I haven't doodled since

Chippies

@BlueBarren must've been a scary teacher

BlueBarren

@Chippies you know not really

I still find it kind of weird that caused me to stop doodling

because it wasn't an overly negative experience

Chippies

3:22 PM

human mind works in weird ways :)

BlueBarren

it just kinda happened

He was actually the french immersion teacher for my middle school

so I barely knew or saw him

since I wasn't french immersion

Chippies

btw I didn't actually mean it must've been a scary teacher, I was making a joke comment :)

BlueBarren

@Chippies oh, didn't realize that. Kids can find certain teachers scary so I didn't think it was farfetch'd

Chippies

@BlueBarren I had a couple teachers (both were chemistry teachers) that most kids found scary, but if you got to know them better, they were just very strict because they cared for our education

MadMAxJr

Nethramul, The Undying is kind of an intimidating teacher for kids.

BlueBarren

3:25 PM

I find that's how most cases work

Chippies

if you actually tried to do good, both of those teachers were very nice

BlueBarren

Teachers generally aren't "scary"

Chippies

if you were being rebellious and didn't do any work then yeah, they seemed very scary :P

BlueBarren

but kids just perceive them to be

I was never "scared" of any teacher

I realized some were more strict but it w/e for me

I almost always followed the rules

and did my work

I did get suspended once

but I was framed

Chippies

I was only scared when I hadn't done my work, although for chemistry, I tried to do it almost always

those teachers had high discipline standards, which helped us all learn better

BlueBarren

3:27 PM

man homework was the worst

now it's all just "work"

Chippies

@BlueBarren I honestly didn't do like 95% of homework after grade 7

BlueBarren

Yeah I always did it

except Math, I slowly stopped doing all my math homework by grade 12

man I miss High School

simpler time :/

I've been adulting for almost a year

and it sucks

Chippies

I suck at math, because I was being rebellious and lazy when we started learning algebra and I missed the basics and it was all downhill from there

I definitely do not miss school though

Avery

@Chippies that's me and logarithms atm

Chippies

I've had a shitty job for year and a half and it sucks, but I rather that than school. At least I get paid and don't have homework

BlueBarren

3:29 PM

Well maybe it's because of the job I have

but currently I miss school

Chippies

I honestly hope I never have to go back to school for more education

BlueBarren

why?

Chippies

although a major part of why I hated school was my crippling social anxiety with no meds for it at the time

BlueBarren

oh

yeah presentation were the worst

I hated presentation

Chippies

school was just stressful

BlueBarren

3:32 PM

being older and wiser I now realize "what's the big deal?"

boy if I could've told younger me

Chippies

I've always known that it's not a big deal (that's how I got through most of the school), but it's hard to reason with irrational anxieties :P

MadMAxJr

Psst. Hey. Younger me. Cancel the following pre-orders. Yeah they're not good.

Avery

@Chippies I have the meds. They don't do much good TBH.

BlueBarren

@MadMAxJr been there

Chippies

@Avery even just having them in my pocket does good for me

Avery

3:34 PM

as in, they do, but only until noon and after that I suffer from migraines for hours.

Chippies

although school was more stressful than "adult life"

ToxicFrog

^

Chippies

@Avery you probably have different issues and different meds

ToxicFrog

Well, high school was. University was alright. Mostly.

BlueBarren

@Chippies what's interesting is that seemed like 90% of my classmates didn't like presentation either

ToxicFrog

3:35 PM

But high school was four years of tire fire and I still flip off the empty lot where it used to be whenever I drive past.

Avery

@Chippies as I said, they help me concentrate really well for 6-8 hours, then turn into a car-crash and give me migraines until I get home.

Chippies

I would literally get random panic attacks in public when I was getting attention and throw up. Lorazepam helps me manage that

ToxicFrog

(ok, there were a few good teachers/classes. But not many.)

user15026

@Avery might be worth seeing if you can switch drugs? There are likely other things that won't do that to you.

Avery

@Chippies ouch, that's worse than mine

BlueBarren

3:36 PM

@Avery is that not a sign you have the wrong meds or something? (I don't really know anything about this stuff)

Chippies

@Avery Idk much about adhd. I have a colleague who has severe adhd and takes (a fairly large dose of) meds every day, he seems to be fine with the meds. You might wanna see about trying different kinds

user15026

High school was the worst 5 years of existence. Full stop. I'm glad that is no longer me.

Chippies

@Chippies the fact that people are much nicer in Newfoundland than in Latvia also helps a lot :P

Avery

@Ash I should try and switch to adderall but I haven't seen my phychiatrist for nearly 4 months now and really don't want to pay for multiple hours of catching up, especially because we've already spent a ton this month.

BlueBarren

@Chippies I forget, when did you move? (Or maybe I've never been told)

user15026

3:38 PM

@Avery well, no, you should speak to them and let the people with the training decide your meds, not you as you are not a doctor person and aren't trained to necessarily know interactions and things, but that's just my opinion I guess

Chippies

@BlueBarren I believe I've been here for 4 years straight now. (I moved first in august 2012, but had to go back for a little once my visitor visa expired)

Avery

I obviously can't buy adderall without prescription

Chippies

when I came back on may 4th of 2013, I've stayed here since

BlueBarren

@Chippies So did you do all of your schooling in Latvia?

Chippies

(the only reason I remember the dates is because my mom "reminded" me of them recently)

@BlueBarren yes

BlueBarren

3:40 PM

@Chippies ah see I'm sure there would be a huge difference in our experiences then

Chippies

@BlueBarren definitely - the education system is very different there than here

BlueBarren

I find the education system always differs vastly from country to country

honestly even what I hear about the States seemed different enough

Q: Constantly Day on my server [MC]

Me and my server's staff team are struggling for a quite a lot time with this. Our server is somehow set to be constantly at 6 am. More specifically, it always starts at around 6.20 am and when it reaches ~7.20 am it resets and goes back to 6.20, and this happens in an endless loop. Neither me...

BlueBarren

They're probably the most similar though

Chippies

I feel like there's two major education systems - EU and NA and then there's differences per country as well

@Avery Not with that attitude /s.

user15026

@Yuuki this made me laugh more than is logical but I needed that

Yuuki

(Seriously though, Adderall is probably one of the most common prescription meds that are sold illegally by dealers)

Avery

@Yuuki I mean, I could if I wanted to, but I don't want illegal amphetamines in my life.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki I didn't even know Adderal was a prescription medication but then again I'm not familiar with the subject and I may have been confusing it with Advil

SaintWacko

@Avery How about illegal amphibians?

Avery

3:47 PM

dealers over here mostly have cocaine, cannabis, "bonsai" and lsd around here. Or that's what all news channels and police thingies are saying.

MadMAxJr

Oh there's a ton of education systems around the globe.

Avery

here's ours in a nutshell

BlueBarren

in Ontario it just seems to be "weed, weed, weed and even moooore weed"

now come July 2018 and things will be different

Chippies

@Avery why would you buy illegal bonsai when you can grow your own?

Yuuki

@BlueBarren Advil is a painkiller, Adderall is basically a mild speed that was originally (and only supposed to be) used to help kids with ADHD/ADD focus and other such things.

BlueBarren

3:49 PM

@Yuuki now that is clearly a distinction I need to know

Yuuki

But soon after its debut, it started being acquired and used illegally because it's basically mild speed.

MadMAxJr

We're talking about speed. Speed is a power The Flash has. Wonder how fast The Flash could spin a fidget spinner.

Avery

@Chippies bonsai is a cannabinoid in form of pills and not you know, smokable stuff.

fredley

Meanwhile, in antivirus

user15026

@Avery oh, I am sure you could find more than that, they just report on the bigger stuff

Yuuki

3:51 PM

Speaking of NHS and the hack, I think some health reporters are being tasked with reporting on the ransomware incident.

Because this morning I heard the following phrase: "the bug has spread to multiple systems worldwide".

Avery

@Ash yeah, it's mostly that i don't want to associate myself with illegal drugs, you know.

BlueBarren

@MadMAxJr sigh

Avery

@Yuuki screams

MadMAxJr

Bet it would be like a buzz-saw. Bzzzzzttttt

Yuuki

I mean, it's an understandable mistake if your field of expertise is healthcare and medical news and not IT/tech.

Since in that field, "bug" is a catch-all term for viruses and bacteria.

Chippies

3:53 PM

@Avery I actually had no idea what bonsai (in the context) is, but I figured it was a form of drugs (thanks to the context). I was making a joke about bonsai trees :P

user15026

@Avery oh, yeah, I get that, I was more just stating that a lot of things are available if you look, generally.

fredley

@Yuuki Well, they're not wrong

Avery

@Chippies yeah, I know.

just wanted to point out the facts

fredley

@Yuuki thedailymash.co.uk/news/health/…

Avery

@Ash well, I was mostly trying to say that it's not considered popular enough to get to news etc here, unlike where yuuki lives.

fredley

3:57 PM

Meanwhile, in bronies, in the White House

Yuuki

@Avery Eh, Adderall and Ritalin don't get reported on my area either, but I'm almost 100% sure you can find those drugs illegally if you go to any private school or college/university campus.

And probably most public high schools in middle-income/high-income areas.
