@MadScientist or dumb enough to try to take mueller to dinner and ask for a loyalty pledge

Mad Scientist

@GodEmperorDune I'd expect him to decline any invitation like this

GnomeSlice

hf this support looks amazing

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice is that a white girl version of sombra?

GnomeSlice

No?

Yuuki

> I can already see the f--king trolls pulling me away from a kill or getting a buff or tower

GnomeSlice

10:11 PM

she does have purple hair though

@Yuuki lol

GodEmperorDune

was paragon the one that copied overwatch or was that a diff game?

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune That's Paladins.

GnomeSlice

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice did you see the download link I messaged you with earlier?

GnomeSlice

Yeah I got it, thanks

where did you get it?

user15026

10:16 PM

@murgatroid99 I don't know if I've ever added it up. I read while I walk to the bus and such, I read at lunch, at least an hour before bed....maybe 2.5-3 hours a day? More on like weekends and such if I don't have things going on.

GnomeSlice

did you upload that?

Mad Scientist

The timing of these Trump bombshells is messing with my sleep pattern, they always drop when I'm about to go to bed

Chippies

@GnomeSlice this

@GnomeSlice I would have if the link I found wasn't from mega

GnomeSlice

sweet

Tim Stone

@MadScientist At least they aren't literal bombshells, yet >_>

murgatroid99

10:18 PM

@Ash Huh. I think I read for about an hour or two every day, and I've probably only read 20 or 30 books this year

Mad Scientist

@TimStone The scary thing is that the joke isn't entirely obvious in this case

Chippies

@GnomeSlice you actually have to search for camellia as artist, instead of cametek or whatever the soundcloud user was

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone ooh, i'm hyped

Tim Stone

@GodEmperorDune Right? The trailer even passes the Bechdel test!

Chippies

soundcloud.com/kamelcamellia

this is the proper soundcloud page for the artist

Memor-X

10:20 PM

@Avery and this is why you don't use the god dam internet to get opinions/comments on policy as it's very easy to create a script to automate replies.

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone my only confusion is that the lead character's name is michael? or is wikipedia wrong about that

user15026

@murgatroid99 I read really fast, and the books I read average 250-300 pages

user15026

(I read at about 1k wpm)

GnomeSlice

@Chippies cametek.jp is his site though. huh

Memor-X

> This video is not available.

Sorry about that.

Chippies

10:21 PM

@GnomeSlice oh idk, maybe he has two soundcloud accounts

Memor-X

are there any Vulcans in it?

GodEmperorDune

@Memor-X yes, Sarek is in it

Star Trek: Discovery

Star Trek: Discovery is an upcoming American television series created by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman for CBS All Access. It is the first series developed specifically for that service, and the first Star Trek series since Star Trek: Enterprise concluded in 2005. Set roughly a decade before the events of the original Star Trek series, separate from the timeline of the concurrent feature films, Discovery explores a previously mentioned event from the history of Star Trek while following the crew of the USS Discovery. Gretchen J. Berg and Aaron Harberts serve as showrunners on the series, with...

maybe spoilery from the cast list? idk

murgatroid99

@Ash I definitely don't think that I read that fast. And I don't actually know how long my books are, because I only read them on Kindle. Some of them are definitely significantly longer than that, though

Tim Stone

@GodEmperorDune It's what IMDB says too

Memor-X

@GodEmperorDune before he lost his mind i assume

GodEmperorDune

10:24 PM

well sasha was great and kickass in walking dead, hopefully she will continue in this star trek

@TimStone oh so that's where that sound effect comes from!

Mad Scientist

@Ash Isn't that like an order of magnitude faster than the average?

Tim Stone

Oh, we covered that

GodEmperorDune

@MadScientist they're good readers, mudsceintist

Tim Stone

10:28 PM

Did we cover the McCarthy saying Trump was paid by Putin thing too? Good times, good times

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone i don't think so, that broke in the last hour or so

Memor-X

did anyone cover how Rep. Al Green (D-TX) is saying what we are all thinking?

Tim Stone

McCarthy in 2016: *says the thing*
Spokespeople today: Totally didn't happen, fake news
WaPo: We have recorded audiot
Spokespeople today: It was a joke lol

@murgatroid99 I do read longer stuff but that's just an average

Mad Scientist

There was a major bombshell every day for the last few days, let's see how long this can keep up

Avery

10:36 PM

this is pretty accurate

GodEmperorDune

This is now two Trump news cycles old but here's what we know about sheriff David Clarke's pending DHS appointment http://wapo.st/2qt0t2i?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.8dee5b55246e

@Avery To me, Comey's been fired for centuries.

Avery

yeah

it's like "holy hell what's even happening" tome

Tim Stone

Price is Right horn plays again

Avery

I'm losing track of stuff and I was in touch with stuff only 3 days ago

Yuuki

10:37 PM

Although I'm not sure if anyone here watches the Flash TV series so maybe no one got that reference.

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone hue

@Yuuki i do but not caught up this season

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune It's not a recent reference, I think.

Unionhawk

@GodEmperorDune like I said before, good.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki are you sure that's not a vandal savage reference?

from legends of tomorrow?

Tim Stone

@GodEmperorDune I hope his kids vindictively put "Yoghurt Cuck" on his tombstone

Yuuki

10:39 PM

@GodEmperorDune Reverse Flash and Cisco.

Unionhawk

Assuming he does not take his rage out in the form of literal explosions, good

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki well i got the refrance now

Unionhawk

Holy shit this might be happening

Yuuki

To me, you've had that refrance for centuries.

Unionhawk

unintelligible

GodEmperorDune

10:42 PM

@Yuuki then that joke's been dead a long time

Yuuki

To me, it's been dead for centuries.

Avery

@TimStone why is cuck even a meme i still don't get it

GodEmperorDune

to me, you've been on ignore for centuries

@Avery such a globalist

Yuuki

Well, the Flash TV subreddit beat that joke dead for quite some time.

Avery

Considering this, I'm getting meme-ifically old.

Unionhawk

10:43 PM

Yuuki

One could say that they beat it for centuries.

GodEmperorDune

@Avery what is the meme of the kids all jumping around one proud kid and the other one runs past holding his face?

Avery

oh, that?

supa hot fire.

GodEmperorDune

yes, thanks

@Avery how-old.net is considering me 26 >_>

@GodEmperorDune he's not a rapper though.

MBraedley

10:48 PM

Just finished watching the season finale of Agents of SHIELD, and all I have to say is... WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!?!

Memor-X

@MBraedley cliff hanger or rushed ending?

MBraedley

@Memor-X No, final two scenes.

Avery

@Memor-X Or a mind blowing ending, you know

MBraedley

Didn't feel rushed at all.

Ronan

Yeah thing certainly happened.

MBraedley

10:51 PM

It is technically a cliffhanger, but not a traditional one.

Ronan

I'm so glad they've got a next series.

Memor-X

@Avery @MBraedley ahh ok, i thought from what "WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!?!" it was a "what kind of ending is this crap"

GodEmperorDune

is this season the ghost rider one?

Ronan

Sort of, the season was split in 3, and that was part 1.

MBraedley

@GodEmperorDune ... it started as the ghost rider season.

Memor-X

10:52 PM

@Ronan was part 1 with Hive? or was that the previous season?

GodEmperorDune

@MBraedley ok, i lost interest after the first few episodes

Ronan

@Memor-X That was like 2 seasons ago?

GodEmperorDune

@Memor-X hive was the earlier season

Ronan

Maybe 1.

MBraedley

@GodEmperorDune It's good. Yes, a bit of a slow start, but the show got its groove back.

Ronan

10:53 PM

@GodEmperorDune I wasn't as hyped about the first part either, parts 2 and 3 are insane though.

GodEmperorDune

@MBraedley i'll probably get it on netflix then

Memor-X

@Ronan @GodEmperorDune ok. just that like a couple weeks ago i saw the finale with Hive so either Australia is behind or i'm watching the re-runs

hard to tell on free-to-air TV

user15026

I wanted to like Agents of SHIELD but I watched three eps (my usual new show judgement period) and wasn't hooked at all

user15026

Then again I am bad at superhero tv shows, in general

MBraedley

@TimStone I think my investments took a slight dip, but overall, still in the black. Decided to invest a little extra in my RRSP to compensate.

Ronan

11:04 PM

@Ash Of first season?

user15026

Yep.

Ronan

Unfortunately it's quite a slow show. So that's a fair judgement.

user15026

Yeah, I'm not as good with slow builds in that sense

GodEmperorDune

@Ronan yeah its pretty meh until the twist

Ronan

@GodEmperorDune I can't even remember the season 1 twist.

GodEmperorDune

11:09 PM

and that's like episode 15 or 16

@Ronan captain america winter soldier tie in

Ronan

Ah yeah.

GodEmperorDune

after that it was like they kicked into high gear

Ronan

Yeah, I seem to remember something about having to stall to wait for the movie.

user15026

I've not watched an MCU movie since....the second Thor movie? Well, I watched Guardians of the Galaxy (and that is one movie I don't get the appeal of), but other than that. I've not watched any of the tv stuff except Agent Carter.

user15026

I am just horrible at sticking with comic book stuff :/

Ronan

11:13 PM

@Ash Fortunately they didn't do any more important tie-in after season 1.

user15026

Good to know

murgatroid99

Well, they have talked about the Sokovia accords

(introduced in Captain America: Civil War)

Ronan

True, I meant spoiler stuff.

Ahahahaha, yes

Unionhawk

11:16 PM

I am extremely ready for this to live on into eternity as a defining characteristic of Alex Jones

user15026

@Unionhawk what does MSM mean in the linked tweet?

Unionhawk

@Ash mainstream media

Ronan

Oh speaking of things that take time to get going but are amazing when they do. You should all listen to The Adventure Zone.

themarysue.com/the-adventure-zone-podcast

murgatroid99

@Unionhawk I don't understand this at all

user15026

That's a weird way to acronym that but whatever

user15026

11:18 PM

@Ronan You are the third person to recommend this in the past couple of days. I should maybe check this out. :)

user15026

Give me something new to listen to while I walk places

Unionhawk

@murgatroid99 that he had to apologise to yogurt or whatever Jones just said

If the second I just mentally replace anything he says with unintelligible

Ronan

@Ash I will warn you, the first 6 episodes are radically different from what people are suggesting you listen to.

murgatroid99

@Unionhawk I'm so confused. Is this just "someone says something meaningless in response to Alex Jones saying something stupid?"

Avery

@Ash notes down as the third meaning of MSM

Tim Stone

11:20 PM

@murgatroid99 No he literally had to apologise to yogurt

Well, a yogurt company, but

Avery

we should stop using acronyms ugh (looking at you, google vps)

user15026

@Ronan Noted. Different how?

Tim Stone

(He had to state that his claims about Chobani were false)

murgatroid99

@TimStone What does that have anything to do with the linked tweet?

Ronan

@Ash It started as a one off to fill time while one of them was having a baby. So it was generic DnD with stupid jokes. But then when they decided to do it as an actual thing they focused much more on the storytelling.

user15026

11:22 PM

@Ronan Nifty :)

Unionhawk

@murgatroid99 It doesn't, but it's like how people reply to everything Joe Walsh says with "pay your child support Joe"

murgatroid99

@Unionhawk OK, so this was just "man posts non-sequitur in response to Alex Jones saying something"

Ronan

It's one of the reasons they're wanting to start a new story, because people are like "listen to this it's made it cry consistently" and then they listen to it and it's all "I killed a guy and got a boner from it".

user15026

@Ronan Makes sense. So stick with it for a bit, then, is what I'm hearing.

user15026

How long are the episodes or whatever you call the chunks

Ronan

11:27 PM

Each episode is an hour, around 6-10 episodes an arc, and I think there's going to be a total of 9 arcs in this story.

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 are you allergic to memes or something?

user15026

@Ronan Cool beans.

Ronan

I'm hoping someone will make a super edit of just the important/best parts of the whole story when it finishes.

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk i thought this was fantastic, well done @uni

BlueBarren

WELL

I was about to beat the high score in Nova 'n' Up and then I just get a massive set of frame drops

for a solid 3-4 seconds

needless to say when it unfroze I hit a bunch of stuff

GodEmperorDune

11:31 PM

@BlueBarren nooooooooooo

i'm so sorry

BlueBarren

;_;

well I'm only trying that once today

NO

I WAS 200 AWAY

GOSH

DARN

POOP

(I tried again)

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune I just don't think there's much of anything I could give less of a shit about than some insane conspiracy theorist's court order to apologize to some random company

So memes that are just [lazy reference to random thing that doesn't matter] don't exactly capture my interest

My issue is that it has a link, which looked like it was supposed to be context, but actually didn't clarify anything, resulting in me staring at what looked like a completely nonsensical sentence trying to understand why it had been posted in here in the first place.
