@7Blue_Beast7 Do not threaten users.

7Blue_Beast7

@AshleyNunn Then stop.

Chippies

@7Blue_Beast7 or else?

7Blue_Beast7

I don't like bullying so quit doing it.

Chippies

are you threatening someone who told you to not threaten users?

Unionhawk

Pro tip: when a mod starts a sentence with "Do not", that's your cue to stop.

Frank

23:01

@7Blue_Beast7 Hah. Good luck with that.

user15026

@7Blue_Beast7 No one here is bullying you, we are just expressing our desire for a certain standard of behaviour and respect.

Chippies

is it even legal for a 13 year old to be here? I thought there was a policy or something

Frank

You being offended that we don't allow you to say whatever you want isn't a crime.

Unionhawk

@Chippies Yes.

murgatroid99

@Chippies I'm pretty sure 13 is the lower limit

7Blue_Beast7

23:01

See ^

LessPop_MoreFizz

13 is the minimum legal age to register an account, per COPA.

7Blue_Beast7

I told you guys were doing it

Chippies

@murgatroid99 oh okay, I thought it was 14

7Blue_Beast7

Trying to get me off of here

user15026

@Chippies Nope, 13.

7Blue_Beast7

23:02

Great example of it

Frank

@7Blue_Beast7 You are welcome here, so long as you toe the line.

So far, you are toeing the line.

Although, you're getting kinda close.

Chippies

@7Blue_Beast7 I can honestly say I wouldn't miss you if you left.

7Blue_Beast7

Thats weird ^

Chippies

change your behaviour and you are more than welcome to stay

7Blue_Beast7

What is that going to do^

spugsley

23:03

ughhhh writing is harddddd

Chippies

@7Blue_Beast7 perhaps it will stop the, as you call it, bullying

Frank

@7Blue_Beast7 Do you want to be accepted here?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@7Blue_Beast7 I'm addressing you right now in my capacity as a moderator. I want to be exceptionally clear here. If you continue to harass and antagonize users in this chat room, I will not hesitate to take action as a moderator, and remove you for a period of time. Consider this your warning.

StrixVaria

@7Blue_Beast7 I don't know what's with all the "^" characters, but here's a lesson in how to reply to specific messages. Mouse over the message, then click the light gray arrow to the far right. Start using this feature to reply to messages so we know what you're talking about.

user15026

@7Blue_Beast7 Could you please link your replies? There is a little arrow at the end of a message you can click to reply to certain things - this will make conversations easier to follow for others.

user15026

23:04

@StrixVaria mod high five

7Blue_Beast7

Yeah but saying I am better than you is not freedom

murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn @StrixVaria I was just writing that up

user15026

@murgatroid99 Great minds think alike!

Chippies

@7Blue_Beast7 no one but you have said that

7Blue_Beast7

Should I say it has nothing to do with freedom and so I am mad that you said that and instead you should take it like a man and be wuiet

StrixVaria

23:04

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ok cool I'll let you handle this then while I go play Diablo with my limited time.

Chippies

@7Blue_Beast7 same to you, sir

StrixVaria

I was pretty much just waiting to press the button.

murgatroid99

@7Blue_Beast7 I honestly don't know what idea you are trying to communicate here

Chippies

@7Blue_Beast7 why are you doing this? Do you like being rude? Annoying? Is that your goal? Do you NOT want to be liked?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@7Blue_Beast7 Nobody has said this.

7Blue_Beast7

23:06

NO!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chippies

read what you are writing before you press enter and imagine someone saying that to you

would you like that?

Frank

I feel this is rather relevant at the moment:

14

A: The state of this website

The main problem I see is that you seem to think that as long as you, personally, do not find something offensive, it's OK and should be allowed to stay. The problem is that this is the internet. There are a rather large number of people who frequent Arqade, and our tastes can differ wildly. T...

7Blue_Beast7

@Chippies Ye si would like it because its cool

Trent Hawkins

@Frank that seems to be relevant far too often.

user15026

Unfortunately, the internet.

Chippies

23:09

@7Blue_Beast7 it might be cool to be rude and "badass" at your age, but within 5-10 years that attitude won't get you far

7Blue_Beast7

Besides changing me is not doing anything

I can do it right now and nothing happens

user15026

@FAE I painted my nails today in this really nice dark purple that makes me think of you for some reason. I don't know if it is because I saw the colour on you, or what. But it is pretty :D

spugsley

@Chippies you should probably give up at this point :/

7Blue_Beast7

Just stupid old piece of crap knowledge from adults who act like they ar God

spugsley

@AshleyNunn that sounds lovely! :D

FAE

23:10

@AshleyNunn :D This pleases me!

Unionhawk

Yep, that's it. I'm done.

user15026

@spugsley It is a really nice shade! I got it while I was camping. :P

7Blue_Beast7

Good

Frank

@7Blue_Beast7 And this right here doesn't help you.

user15026

@FAE Yay! I like pleasing you ;)

Chippies

23:11

@spugsley but... I enjoy it :D I'd really like to find out why he acts the way he acts and maybe I could help him become a better person. If not, I'll have wasted time arguing, which is fine, because arguing is fun :D

7Blue_Beast7

@Frank Now I am better than you

spugsley

@AshleyNunn I'm going to paint mine neon pink tonight :D

FAE

@AshleyNunn Teehee~

user15026

@spugsley oooooh niiiiiice.

Frank

Okay. @LessPop_MoreFizz, any chance of a mod ban now?

spugsley

23:11

@Chippies fair enough :3

user15026

I have a neon green I want to use sometime soon.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Oh oh, I meant to send you pics of the end of the railroad, gonna do that now.

user15026

@FAE yaaaaay trains

Frank

@7Blue_Beast7 No, you're not.

user15026

(I know there might not be trains but it is a train thing and that is cool)

Frank

23:12

You're a petulant child who refuses to accept he has a problem.

Chippies

8 mins ago, by 7Blue_Beast7

Yeah but saying I am better than you is not freedom

spugsley

I love the word petulant.

murgatroid99

@Chippies I still have no idea what that means

Chippies

@murgatroid99 something something freedom of speech. He was going on about it yesterday while I was afk :(

Frank

@spugsley I has vocabulary! Because I read WAAAAAAY too many books. :P

Chippies

23:13

I had to read few hours worth of logs to catch up! I love reading drama

spugsley

@Frank :p

murgatroid99

@Chippies Right, I understand the general concepts. I just don't understand what specifically he's trying to say right there

user15026

@Frank Do you ever get words that you read in your head but then you realize you've never heard anyone else say them so you have no idea how they actually are said?

Frank

Awesome. Much appreciated, @LessPop_MoreFizz.

FAE

@AshleyNunn Sent them to you on WhatsApp! The first bunch are where it ends and then the 2 where it curves are a place farther up the line where you cross the tracks.

Frank

23:14

@AshleyNunn All the time.

Chippies

@murgatroid99 Idk, I was just trying to use his words against himself, lol

Frank

Hyperbole was one of them.

user15026

@Frank I always feel so ridiculous when they happen.

user15026

Awry was one of mine

FAE

@AshleyNunn When I was younger I didn't realize that "epitome" was the same word as how it's pronounced out loud

@Frank Yeah, that one's super common too.

Frank

23:15

I always thought it was pronounced, hyper-bole, instead of hy-per-boll-lee.

Chippies

@murgatroid99 I think it's something about how saying you're better is taking away the freedom or something. I'm probably very wrong on that

user15026

@FAE I was so startled by that when I found out

murgatroid99

@Chippies Yeah, I guess. It looks like the fun's over for now, though

Trent Hawkins

@Frank while I do not disagree with the petulant thing, I believe this is the point where we should stop engaging the troll and ignore it. And flag what deserves to be flagged.

Unionhawk

@Chippies I don't think trying to figure it out is a healthy exercise here.

Frank

23:16

@TrentHawkins Or just let @LessPop_MoreFizz bring down the mod hammer, and call it a day.

Chippies

@Unionhawk just think of it as a very complicated puzzle

Unionhawk

@Chippies No.

Just no.

There is no puzzle

Chippies

@Unionhawk That's the right attitude! If there were more of you here, we probably wouldn't even have an argument with him

Unionhawk

Only stupidity.

As in: that sentence makes no sense

Trent Hawkins

@Frank I R Type even slower on mobile than keyboard.

user15026

23:17

@Chippies I refuse to. People who do not respect me do not deserve my energy to make them better people. Maybe I am a hardass bitch now because i deal with major addicts EVERY day and they are terrible people

Frank

@TrentHawkins Fair enough. :P

user15026

@FAE those pictures are AMAZING

FAE

@AshleyNunn :D

Chippies

@AshleyNunn I was (kinda) making a joke. I 100% agree that the best thing to do is just ignore and flag whatever deserves flagging. I don't mind spending some energy arguing though

user15026

@Chippies I guess when you effectively do that for a living you don't wanna do it in your off time :P

FAE

23:19

@AshleyNunn When we got to the end, I was like "I totally need to take pics of this for Ashley!"

Chippies

@AshleyNunn heh, yeah :P

user15026

@FAE It is SO COOL. Seriously. Thank you, that made my already SPLENDIFEROUS DAY even better

FAE

@AshleyNunn Yay! :D

Chippies

@Frank aren't there like, 5 bajillion ways of pronouncing that?

and by 5 bajillion I mean at least 2 that I know of

Frank

@Chippies Maybe. Probably. With English, it's a safe bet that every person has their own unique pronunciation.

Chippies

23:20

and I bet they're both wrong

Unionhawk

@Chippies In order for there to not be an argument, there would have needed to be all people like me here.

Sun Tzu said that!

Chippies

well, if everyone was the same person, all the opinions would be the same, thus no arguments...

Frank

Anyways, I baked my last frozen Bacon Cheeseburger pizza, so excuse me while I stuff my face with meat and onion-y goodness.

Chippies

that's cheating!

Hellovart

if I have a pointer1, and pointer2 pointing to pointer1, and I set pointer2 equal to nullptr does that create a memory leak?

user15026

23:26

@Hellovart What?

murgatroid99

@Hellovart Is pointer1 on the heap? If so, then yes

I assume this is C

Hellovart

Hi, what do you mean by heap? and it's C++

badp

@murgatroid99 Did you mean... pointer2?

@Hellovart It's on the heap if you got the pointer from malloc() or perhaps new.

murgatroid99

@badp If pointer2 is the only reference to pointer1, then it's pointer1 we have to worry about freeing

If you remove that reference

badp

oh right.

murgatroid99

23:28

Of course, if pointer2 is also on the heap and he didn't free it, that creates another leak

Chippies

mmm, I love C#

Hellovart

wow this is confusing. i want to remove pointer2's reference to pointer1 without causing amemory leak and without deleting pointer1's data

badp

You need to free() what you malloc().

murgatroid99

@Hellovart just have something else keep a reference to pointer1

@Hellovart also, this seems like the kind of thing you might want to ask about on StackOverflow

That is their thing

Hellovart

everyone trolls there. i asked and they gave me the finger

spugsley

23:31

@AshleyNunn SPLENDIFOROUS

murgatroid99

@Hellovart Maybe you didn't describe your problem well.

Hellovart

you answered the copy-and-paste question

Frank

@Hellovart I think the SO chatroom gets tired of people continually asking questions there instead of on SO, where they're supposed to be.

badp

Hint: we would tire just as fast if not faster

Frank

@badp I'd go with faster.

murgatroid99

23:34

@badp Oh absolutely. Though we do invite people to ask recommendation questions in here

badp

@murgatroid99 Well, yes, game rec questions.

murgatroid99

@badp Right. I thought we were comparing people asking programming questions in the SO chat to the analogous situation of people asking gaming questions in here

Frank

@murgatroid99 It's a rather uncommon occurrance, though.

murgatroid99

@Frank true

Frank

If it happened with more frequency, you can bet we'd get tired of it in a huge hurry.

Chippies

23:37

does anyone else get memory leaks in chrome?

not all pages seem to leak memory, but sometimes a random youtube video will leak memory and bridge and facebook are always leaking

I feel like that wasn't an issue a month or so ago, but I may have just not noticed it then

murgatroid99

@Chippies Yeah, recently Chrome has been eating all of my RAM

FAE

@Chippies @TimStone's aware of the Bridge leak.

murgatroid99

Reddit and Gmail seem to leak a lot too

Chippies

for now, the temporary solution is to close the leaking tabs and ctrl+shift+T to reopen them

Tim Stone

In the case of the bridge you can try //cash and see if that helps, but it won't always. Closing the tabs and reopening them also works, of course.

Chippies

23:39

my gmail doesn't seem to leak though, I have it always open

or if it leaks, it's so negligible I don't notice

badp

@TimStone kaching.

Chippies

yesterday I reopened bridge and freed up 2gb of ram

Tim Stone

Yeah, I've had it get that bad too. :/

murgatroid99

@Chippies I'm not actually sure it leaks, but it's one of my top memory users

Tim Stone

Which is a bit insane.

Chippies

23:41

@murgatroid99 at ~165mb it seems to always stay around that amount for me

it's more than most of my tabs, but it doesn't seem to go up much

murgatroid99

@Chippies That explains why my computer is always running out of memory

Chippies

I just reopened gmail tab and it went back to 140mb, so I don't think there's a leak there

Lazers

Q: Are Yasuo's Q stacks lost after revival?

Example: Yasuo hits twice with Q so he gets his airborne strike ready, then he dies and resurrects either by Guardian Angel's passive or Zilean's ult. Will Yasuo's stacks dissapear after resurrection?

league-of-legends

Chippies

bridge right now is at 780mb

murgatroid99

@Chippies maybe it's just inefficient

Chippies

23:43

reopened and it's down to 170mb and slowly climbing

murgatroid99

Huh, that makes me realize that I have had 2 chat tabs open on my work computer for a long time, and I've never noticed any memory problems

Chippies

@murgatroid99 how much memory do you have on that machine?

murgatroid99

@Chippies I'm not actually sure. It never mattered

spugsley

MILKSHAKE TIME

Chippies

if bridge is the only tab leaking, it could take a while to reach high enough amounts to be noticeable if you have 16gb+

user15026

23:45

@spugsley Enjoy it :D

murgatroid99

@Chippies Also Board and Card Games chat room

Chippies

I have 12gb and I notice the memory leaks when I'm gaming, because the extra 2gb from bridge and another 2gb from facebook quickly adds up

@murgatroid99 you can press shift+esc to open memory manager in chrome

just make sure you click outside of chat box

murgatroid99

@Chippies I know. I'm not at work. It's Sunday

Chippies

@murgatroid99 I meant even at home :P

but yeah, I don't think chrome used to do this before a recent update

Frank

Okay. 2/3rds of a pizza gone. Time to play Metroid Prime.
