@fredley I like this idea.

The best part is it sounds like you're accussing the person of pissing everywhere.

Koviko

@fredley How do I find your e-mail?

user15026

@fredley this is the best idea ever.

5pike

@fredley Still nothing. Takes ages, it seems.

fredley

@Koviko It is what you'd expect it to be, given I (obviously) use gmail.

@Wipqozn no underscores in gmail addresses, n00b

Oh, right. Oops.

I'm literally the worst, and I should delete my account.

@Arperum facepalms

Knew it. Called it.

Wipqozn

I feel like I'm missing a joke.

user15026

@Arperum I love these.

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Hey, it's an improvement over the default Dutch joke of "neuken in de keuken" I've heard a lot of people who think that means hello.

Unionhawk

12:08

The joke is that's not what that means

user15026

@Arperum what.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk I figured, but I'm too lazy to type that into google.

I was hoping someone would take pity on me and translate it for me.

Unionhawk

So am I but I understood the meaning of "not that" by the facepalm

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Yup, Dutchies teach that to random strangers they meet. I've seen them do it + it being used way to regularly.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn the dutch text roughly translates to "goddamnit my damn bike has been stolen again"

@Arperum @AshleyNunn I have never heard anyone doing that

Wipqozn

12:10

@KevinvanderVelden whoa, it's like @Arperum is talking to himself when @KevinvanderVelden replies to him.

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn predominantly red avatar versus predominantly blue avatar D:

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Every single instance of that happening was Dutchies doing so. I think on Metalcamp 2011 it was teached to at least 50-100 strangers

Unionhawk

Heh

Wipqozn

@KevinvanderVelden No. For some reason people keep mixing you and @Arperum up. I've done it myself. I'm really not sure why we do.

Unionhawk

12:12

I'm going to go ahead and take all the credit for that

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Feel free.

fredley

The Lonely Planet guide for Hungary includes translations for phrases such as 'My hovercraft is full of eels'

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk You and @OrigamiRobot both

Wipqozn

I should watch Monty Python at some point soon.,

As soon as I get a new tv I plan to watch the Godfather.

Best movie.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot high five

user15026

12:13

@fredley sounds like a useful book.

Origami Robot

What happened?

Unionhawk

Man, tab completion on mobile. This is the best.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot @Uni high fived you, why aren't you high five-ing him back? :(

Origami Robot

I need to know what the high-five is for!

One can't just go around giving high-fives

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn It took me a second to realize you weren't making a joke about @fredley being a book.

@OrigamiRobot Mixing up @Arperum and @KevinvanderVelden I believe.

I am a useful book

Wipqozn

Your mom's a useful book.

Unionhawk

@Unionhawk ChatSEy?

Unionhawk

Standard mobile chat

Arperum

12:15

fredley

@Unionhawk They did stuff to it?!

Wipqozn

I like @OrigamiRobot's idea of making a @YourMom account for making my you mom jokes easier, but I'm far too lazy.

Arperum

That's what you get for being terrible, you get your avatar replaced.

Unionhawk

Yep

fredley

I could get evil fredley to make more sockpuppets

Wipqozn

12:16

@Arperum I probably deserve this.

Arperum

@fredley So your sockpuppet will have sockpuppets?

Unionhawk

Oct 24 at 14:30, by Unionhawk

@Batophobia NO

fredley

@Arperum It's socks all the way down. Until you reach @Wipqozn's socks. Then it stops.

Arperum

@fredley Noone wants to go there.

Okay, how about this: If @DwarfSlice changes his name back, then I'll switch my gravatar back as well. Sound fair?

Unionhawk

boom. got the edit in

Wipqozn

I'd like to point out that it's officially @DwarfSlice fault now that none of you will ever be happy again.

fredley

Wipqozn

@fredley Do it.

Unionhawk

the 3 seconds of 5 second films has more impact

fredley

12:19

@Unionhawk Yeah, but the gif has more Impact

Unionhawk

...

fredley

Impact (typeface)

Impact is a realist sans-serif typeface designed by Geoffrey Lee in 1965 and released by the Stephenson Blake foundry. It is well-known for having been included in the core fonts for the Web package and distributed with Microsoft Windows since Windows 98. More recently, it has been used extensively in image macros and internet memes. Its ultra-thick strokes, compressed letterspacing, and minimal interior counterform are specifically aimed, as its name suggests, to "impact". Impact has a high x-height, reaching nearly to three-quarters the capital line. Ascenders are short, and descenders even shorter...

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn I have no problems with your current avatar mr green wipqalot

Q: Can I leave my game running with no consequences

I have been playing kitten game and I have noticed that if I leave the game for a year the game runs fine and no kittens starve. Is there a consequence to this or can I just leave my game running to get resources?

Unionhawk

THIS IS WHY I "..."ED

@Wipqozn your current avatar being the green wipqalot, not whatever you've set it to in your gravatar.

fredley

That was a fun mis-click

@fredley NO

Wipqozn

I hate you all. Except @Yuuki.

fredley

Came pretty close there

Sconibulus

That could have been bad... we'd have lost all our history of nonsense

Wipqozn

@fredley That would have been funnier than the time @badp froze the room for 24 hours.

@Sconibulus nah. SE could probably restore the room.

Sconibulus

are we the biggest room in the history of stack exchange yet?

fredley

12:22

@Wipqozn Quite. I don't think I'd have been able to modabuse my way out of that one.

@Sconibulus Think so

Kevin van der Velden

@Sconibulus we probably have the most flags at least

badp

@fredley hey that'd rid us of the faceless sediment

fredley

1976k messages

badp

except of course we only have one online

fredley

Some SO rooms have more

badp

12:24

@fredley More alex's?

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley Solution: Delete those other rooms

fredley

Javascript has 2252k

I'm not a mod for SO rooms :(

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley noooooohs

Modabuse has failed us :(

fredley

Which is weird. Some parts of it think I'm a mod, others not

Sconibulus

ahh, ok, I remembered that we were smaller than some SO rooms, but I thought we were growing faster... we'll probably overtake them eventually

fredley

12:25

Lounge has 3166k

That's the biggest room

badp

@fredley huh?

fredley

All we have to do though is write another 2 million messages and we'll catch up

Unionhawk

Well, let's get to work then

fredley

@badp Or maybe not. I thought I could see seekrit rooms, but I think they're just gallery rooms

Unionhawk

No not really.

NO NOT REALLY

Kevin van der Velden

Unionhawk

oh good, well at least this room has more starred messages from @Uni now

@badp best mod.

Wipqozn

I'd suggest mass bannings.

badp

I'll put up some banners, it's more efficient

Wipqozn

I get it. That's funny.

Unionhawk

Is it though?

Wipqozn

12:42

Yes.

Unionhawk

Okay.

Origami Robot

Guys, I don't wanna go to work today.

My head is hurty

juanvan

Then don't ;-)

go on vacation to Cancun and drink all the waterz

got some spanish MTG cards from Cancun last week

Rapitor

@OrigamiRobot you should call in and say exactly that

Wipqozn

@Rapitor I second this suggestion.

Origami Robot

12:46

I don't have enough PTO to take the day off and I don't wanna just not get paid for a day

juanvan

Tell them your taking the future PTO

Arperum

I don't get the US system of sick days.

Origami Robot

@Arperum Which system?

Arperum

Over here if you are sick, you go to a doctor, who writes you a slip for X days of hometime.

juanvan

Not all americans have Dr.s

Arperum

12:52

If you cheat the system and are caught, both the doctor and you face fines. and loss of job.

You get paid for however long you are sick.

Origami Robot

Your mistake is the perception that all of America operates under the same rules.

Arperum

sure, starting the second month or something it becomes less than your normal pay.

Origami Robot

Some people get a fixed number of time off at the start of the year, some people have that further split into vacation and sick time, some have accumulating PTO

Arperum

Jan 28 at 20:46, by Ashley Nunn

America is weird

Origami Robot

The way time off is given is up to an employer

juanvan

12:54

Vry - if you are salary you get a TON of days off

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot We get a fixed number of days of for leave every year (based on the amount you worked the year before, 20 days if you worked a full year) + time you spend at home because sick doesn't count.

juanvan

or lucky to take a paid sabbatical

Rapitor

We get sick days. which is PTO you can only use when you are sick. and we get X sick days a year

Sconibulus

My job has let me take sick days without using PTO before, but it's kinda under the table

StrixVaria

I left this zoo incremental going overnight and it randomly added debt :(

Now there's debt every once in a while even though I never take out any loans and I keep paying it off.

Arperum

12:56

@StrixVaria That's terrible. worst incremental ever.

Sconibulus

technically I think I was supposed to take PTO, but they just told me to check email every few hours in case someone had a question only I could answer

Rapitor

@StrixVaria apparently every 24 hours you get a fine or something

Origami Robot

@Arperum "some people have that further split into vacation and sick time"

StrixVaria

Oh it's fining me for not having enough space for my animals.

Rapitor

check your stats to see if you were fined

StrixVaria

12:56

That's the dumbest thing.

Rapitor

lol

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot There is no such thing a specific amount of sick time.

StrixVaria

They max out if you leave it idle and then you get fines.

Srsly.

Arperum

Like "you are going to be sick X days this year.

That's not how life works.

Origami Robot

No, it's saying you are excused from working due to being sick X days of the year.

Rapitor

12:58

@Arperum "Hi this is America and we don't give a fuck about you, make us money"

Arperum

If I'm ot sick, I go to work. If I ever end up having something serious and have to stay home for months on end sick as a dog, I'll still be payed.

@OrigamiRobot What if you are sick for longer?

Wipqozn

I have unlimited sick days as well. After being out for a certain length I need a Doctors note I think.

StrixVaria

@Arperum That's also true here. You can go on a disability leave, although I think your compensation may be affected.

Origami Robot

@Arperum There is hardship leave

StrixVaria

Some companies are more generous, but that's the minimum you get legally I believe.
