The Bridge

I just like to look up random names on urbandictionary because generally people will put someone's name on there describing a single person and apparently believe it's used to describe every person of a certain type.

@JasperLoy Most people get sufficient warning to stop whatever bannable behavior they're doing

Dorian

@JasperLoy urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jasper

Dude, are you a Jasper? @JasperLoy

Jasper Loy

@Dorian I am not. I am generally unwanted.

Dorian

@JasperLoy Sorry to hear it broski. But at least you do have a girlfriend. I'm in the same boat but I'm single.

Jasper Loy

@Dorian Sorry I don't have a gf. The Shawna thing was a joke.

Dorian

5:13 PM

Aah

Jasper Loy

@Dorian Actually, I never had a gf in my entire life.

@Dorian Hey is Dorian a boy or girl name?

Dorian

owch

Jasper Loy

Dorian sounds like a girl name to me.

Dorian

Dorian is generally a boy name. Though it can also be a surname. In this case, I'm male.

Jasper Loy

@Dorian OK. You are still young, you will find someone. I am an old man.

Dorian

5:15 PM

I also prefer it to my real name, so I use it on almost every website I sign up for in place of my real name when asked.

user15026

@Dorian I use my real name here, but pretty much nowhere else.

Unionhawk

I am Unionhawk across the Internet. Except on LinkedIn I guess

Dorian

Well, I'm not young. I'm not old either though I guess. Also, I drink my misery away when I can afford to, and hide from everything else when I can't afford to. Autism says I can't people usually, so I don't people.

Rapitor

my real name cannot be spoken by human tongue

... probably it could

Jasper Loy

Hey @AshleyNunn I just saw your blog and your pic.

user15026

5:16 PM

@Dorian People-ing is hard. :(

Dorian

I have a name or two that can't be spoken by human tongues buut those names I don't share

Unionhawk

The origin of my username is a stupid one.

murgatroid99

I use murgatroid99 on every site I can, but sometimes it's associated with my real name

user15026

@JasperLoy Yep, those are things I have.

Dorian

@AshleyNunn Yeah, especially when you're constantly wishing you had someone to cuddle with.

Rapitor

5:17 PM

@Unionhawk is it a hawk that wants to be part of the union

Jasper Loy

@AshleyNunn You won't find me on the internet, even though this is my name.

Unionhawk

But nowadays it boils down to "fuck it I'm too lazy to reestablish my identity"

user15026

@JasperLoy okay.

Jasper Loy

Hey is it bannable if you say fuck in this room?

Unionhawk

Not generally

user15026

5:18 PM

@Dorian Or when said people are 1000 km away (looks at @WorldEngineer)

Jasper Loy

OK, fuck you all then.

@JasperLoy if its not used insultingly

murgatroid99

@JasperLoy that's not very nice, though

Rapitor

Sterno

Where'd The Bridge go? I seem to have ended up in some other chat room.

Unionhawk

@JoshPetrie :O FORGIVE ME

@Sterno I dunno

Rapitor

@Sterno We moved to lifehacks

user15026

@Dorian I like cuddles, I do not get enough of those.

Dorian

@Unionhawk I know someone from an old RP forum that used to use the name Green in every account name. Most people still call him Green (even though he started changing his account name frequently it still usually involves something Green or some other word for Green lol)

Jasper Loy

5:19 PM

I have a question. Do American professors say fuck in lectures?

Rapitor

@AshleyNunn the entire world does not get enough cuddles

@JasperLoy most of mine did

Dorian

@AshleyNunn Ditto. So I cope with stuffed animals and fuzzy blankets.

Unionhawk

Prepare to enter... the Scary Door! Futurama: all 4 scary door intros

@Sterno

user15026

@Dorian I am a big fan of turning myself into a blanket burrito, it helps

murgatroid99

@JasperLoy There isn't going to be some consistent rule across all professors in America

Jasper Loy

5:19 PM

I see. In my country, if you say fuck in a classroom, you are fucked.

Unionhawk

This is where we are

GodEmperorDune

@JasperLoy depends on the prof, but it's happened to me

Dorian

@JasperLoy Some do, some don't. But professors tend to be varied.

user15026

@Rapitor trufax

Unionhawk

@Rapitor The Junk Drawer new Escape Pod?

murgatroid99

5:20 PM

I think some of mine did, but not frequently

Jasper Loy

@AshleyNunn Did you ever try to find a bf to cuddle with?

GodEmperorDune

this morning i saw @Sterno playing pillars and was sad i had to go to work

Rapitor

@Unionhawk the toothpick bridge

Sterno

@GodEmperorDune I'm on day 5 of the plague of doom. I just got done trying to nap and will probably play some more POE. Or try to nap again

Jasper Loy

I never cuddled with anyone in my life, except my pillow.

user15026

5:22 PM

@JoshPetrie Sorry, cat on keyboard. Relink me please.

Jasper Loy

So many people have cats and dogs. I have none.

Rapitor

then go to a shelter and get one

its worth.

user15026

@Sterno Boo for plague, but naps are good?

user4704

@JasperLoy FYI just because it is not immediately-bannable to swear in here doesn't mean you should consequently embark on a line of conversation that overuses swearing.

Jasper Loy

Hey if I say anything bad warn me OK? I have said many bad things in chat before.

user4704

5:25 PM

Please keep your conversations (reasonably) family-friendly.

user15026

@JoshPetrie Yeah, we tend to try to keep this room mostly work-safe.

user15026

It works most of the time....

Rapitor

@JoshPetrie YOU HAVE A LOT OF REP

Jasper Loy

I had over 40k rep but I deleted my accounts.

user4704

@Rapitor Eh, relatively speaking. Most long-time SE regulars have well in excess of my combined reputation.

Jasper Loy

5:26 PM

@JoshPetrie Noted. I apologise.

Rapitor

i want more rep.... @AshleyNunn go ask more SoS questions!

user4704

Almost all of mine comes from the gamedev site.

Jasper Loy

I got 20k on Eng and 20k on math and then I deleted accounts a couple years ago.

So only the regulars recognise me. The rest think I am a newbie.

Seems that Grace Note doesn't come here anymore?

user15026

@Rapitor I haven't played much today, but rest assured, more questions will come :)

Jasper Loy

Oh she does still come here.

I think I have been banned about 5 times from chat altogether.

user15026

5:31 PM

@Rapitor When do I get a horse?

Rapitor

@AshleyNunn around mid-spring.

user15026

@Rapitor yay!

Jasper Loy

@AshleyNunn What is a horse?

@Rapitor Are you giving her a real horse?

user15026

@Rapitor One question incoming!

Rapitor

no, what? its for story of seasons

Yuuki

5:36 PM

@Rapitor Speak for yourself.

GodEmperorDune

@JasperLoy yes, we have all pitched in to buy @AshleyNunn a horse

Yuuki

@Ktash and I are chipping in to make @AshleyNunn a pony princess.

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I keep it in my bathroom, like any smart city girl would ;)

user15026

@Yuuki I wish that were true that would be amazing

user15026

Would i get a tiara?

Yuuki

5:37 PM

@AshleyNunn I can neither confirm nor deny that it is indeed very sparkly.

user15026

@Yuuki I like sparkly things!

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn a tiara made from the souls of those vanquished by the hug gun

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Oh that would be a very heavy and large tiara.

Jasper Loy

Anyway, I think I should leave this room now, I came in mostly to see @GnomeSlice. Bye everyone.

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn nah, they compress really well

so it would be heavy but not large

user15026

5:38 PM

@GodEmperorDune Like carbon into diamonds

GodEmperorDune

@AshleyNunn precisely

little diamonds of internet anguish

user15026

@GodEmperorDune This is my new favourite thing

Trent Hawkins

Well, Jets made the playoffs for the first time in 19 years, city's going nuts... Begin countdown to didisappointment!

And at least you are GOING to playoffs!

Q: When do other areas of town open up?

When I am out wandering, I noticed there are a bunch of places I can't access because they are under construction. Do I just have to wait, and over time they will open, or do I have to do certain things to get access to certain areas?

Splatoon's new Amiibo.

Batophobia

I like the squid one most

Wipqozn

@Yuuki I'll amii your bo.

Yuuki

5:43 PM

Rapitor

@Batophobia unless they work in smash idc... but... they do look really good.

Batophobia

@Rapitor I doubt they will, but pretty much a guarantee that Splatoon with have some type of amiibo functionality

unless [internet] votes for splatoon character in the smash poll

Unionhawk

@Rapitor then vote for them as smash fighters

Rapitor

yeah they already said that. the splatoon amiibos give special missions and unique in-game equipment

Yuuki

So they're a one-time use sort of deal?

Rapitor

5:51 PM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yuuki

While not original, I would've appreciated the same learning AI thing they did with Smash.

Rapitor

yeah, i like that. but also hate it. because now i can't beat my amiibo at all and its no longer fun to fight it or with it on a team

Gfd Ted Cruz. You're an idiot.

You're lucky you're in Texas where they vote for that, because dear God what the fuck

Yuuki

@Unionhawk I resent you for not-at-all-suggesting that I'm lucky for having Ted Cruz.

Unionhawk

I mean Cruz is lucky

Yuuki

Also, did you see how much money he's raised so far?

We are so f--ked.

So some guy in Russia is getting a body transplant. Or a head transplant if that what you want to call it.

Either/or, i have no clue.

Kevin van der Velden

Face transplant right? Guy with the bloodvessel problem?

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden No, this guy has ALS.

They're putting his head on another body.

Q: What's so special about Elbereth?

The wiki says Elbereth is the name of a divine being worshipped by elves, but there are a few other divine beings in the game, and not many elves. Why would other creatures care about this particular engraving? I'm not even sure if they can read it. Is the word glowing or something so that it'...

nethack

user15026

@Yuuki so much nope

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn The head going on another body?

user15026

It freaks me right out

Yuuki

This guy has deteriorating ALS, I'm pretty sure he thinks it's a win-win.

Oh, I am not denying that, but it just unnerves me

Man, if this works, we'll have all new urban legends about body thieves who leave the heads behind

Unionhawk

Some peoples avatars show up weird on this tablet

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I'm gonna have shudders going down my spine all day.

Sterno

@GnomeSlice It's all your fault that every time I have to stare at the loading screen after I die, I see it as "Bloodboner" rather than "Bloodborne"

I just can't get past the "what if it doesn't work? Worse, what if it does? What does that mean?"

Unionhawk

Requesting desktop site makes it normal. Odd

murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn If it doesn't work, he dies, like he would have anyway. If it does, we have an unprecedented operation in medical history, which is cool

user15026

@murgatroid99 Well, yes, but there is so much unknown in it even if he doesnt outright die

Unionhawk

@Lazers <3 10k

Rapitor

i don't know how it works fully. is someone donating a body?

murgatroid99

6:57 PM

@Rapitor probably someone who's dead and agreed to donate organs

Like lots of organ donations

Brian

@Rapitor It seems so. There are plenty of ways to die where the body would still be fine.

Yuuki

We may have a fairly conclusive answer to the Ship of Theseus question as it applies to humans.

If it works, that is.

murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I get that it could be terrible for this guy, but he seems to understand the risks as much as possible. And besides, this is the best way to find out what will happen, even if it is terrible

Brian

So, we're going to have GlaDOS perform the operation, right?

user15026

@murgatroid99 Yeah, someone has to be first.
