@Kaz Trump may not be riding in on a wave of "other-ism" (see that Cracked article that keeps getting linked and keeps getting starred), but you also can't avoid that it at the very least plays a not-insignificant part of his campaign.
And Trump if nothing else knows how to play a crowd.
@Ash I really can't resist the bad ideas :/ usd is already going sky high, and omfg one of the biggest countries just elected a xenophobic misogynist who can't even be trusted with a twitter account. Aaaand he brought up nuking places including the place I live in. I just ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ghostery crashes when I try to remove this message so meh
@arda yeah. I'm reeling between sick and numb. I don't know what to do at this point.
I'd love to gripe more on FPTP, but that just sounds like sour grapes at this point.
Kaz
Kaz
@arda I'm hoping my impression of him is correct. In that he's a smart guy who knows exactly what he's doing, and has just been saying and doing whatever he thinks he has to to get elected, and isn't about to go crazy. I hope.
@Kaz thats even scarier
06:06
@arda ppl are ppl. ppl are sick of status quo and desperately want change, but change is not always good change for civilization
user15026
@arda okay, i know it is scary but you need to be good to yourself. You are worth that. You can last for ten seconds and then ten seconds and ten seconds.
Thats what erdogan did and ffs people think hes god at this point
user15026
@spugsley find your self care stuff, get some sleep. Breathe. Be gentle to yourself. If
@кяαzєя But people who feel excluded from civilization think that's all fine
user15026
If that means stepping away from the Internet do that
user15026
06:07
It's okay to not participate in this thing at this moment.
3
I'll lock the dangerous stuff I have to my backup locker and give the key to a friend, BRB
user15026
It's okay to call a silent retreat and find blankies and a soft thing or person and just not
Just done that (locked pills and knife away, gave key to friend asking her to not give it back until last hour of school)
06:11
at the very least, this trump administration will make the obama years look pretty damn glorious
People are pointing out the irony that Clinton held her election day event in the Javits Center, which has a glass ceiling
@murgatroid99 Did she bring a rock with her?
@murgatroid99 pretty sure that was intentional
also it looks like this might become relevant again nationalpopularvote.com
@GodEmperorDune And it'll still be there in the morning
literally and metaphorically
user15026
06:14
@arda please don't hurt yourself. If you need to talk you know where to find me. <3
@KazWolfe STV doesn't really apply for single office elections.
@arda ... Please don't do anything. We like having you here too much. Just because some idiot goes into power doesn't mean our lives are going to change too much. We're here for you <3
@Yuuki Still better than the electoral college.
We could combine districts into super-districts that use STV to determine its three or more representatives, but the US doesn't elect more than one President.
I think instant runoff would be more relevant here
aka single-seat transferable vote
Oh, transferring votes from less popular "third" parties?
06:19
Yeah, for one office, isn't STV really just popular vote?
Kaz
Kaz
@KazWolfe ish
AV is what we usually mean when we say we want stv for us presidential
Then... popular vote. We already count it, just nuke the electoral college.
@GodEmperorDune why is "Myths about Hurricanes" on that page
@KazWolfe These are kind of orthogonal things
06:20
Yes
@murgatroid99 They are, but nuking the college for popular vote is still a good idea.
@KazWolfe We know this. But asking the people in power to change the voting system that put them in power is an uphill battle
@murgatroid99 Ah, there's an easy solution. Get someone into power that isn't corrupt. Wait......
I was going to add "wherein we welcome emperor trump" to the room description.
Not going to do that anymore.
Meanwhile, in California, plastic bags are going to stay banned ;-;
user15026
06:23
Okay. I want to stay up and ease everyone's fears and remind you of all the lovely gentle self care things but the cold meds are winning. Be gentle to yourselves. Remember you're not alone.
@KazWolfe That's not necessarily corruption. If you think that doing something would give power to the other party, then you can legitimately vote against it on the reasoning that it would be against the interests of the people who vote for you
@Ash The defenders at Helm's Deep were not alone either...
It's the same reason that Republicans will never vote for Washington DC to have representation in Congress
user15026
This is not the end of things. I promise.
@KazWolfe It sounds very undemocratic (and almost definitely is) but this leaves a lot of room for a demogogue to sweep the presidency.
06:25
We just need a White Wizard.
Realize that Clinton is projected to get the popular vote by a 1 point margin.
Just a gentle reminder that the POTUS can't just launch nukes whenever he feels like it. There are safeguards in place.
Kaz
Kaz
@KazWolfe Respectfully, the POTUS has the authority to launch nukes whenever they want to.
@KazWolfe No, there aren't really (though I would expect someone to not follow orders in such a case)
user15026
@Yuuki looks up demogogue
06:26
@Kaz Hi, other kaz. IIRC, there is a "don't do things if president is mad/incapacitated" policy.
(of course i might very well be wrong. there's a reason politics isn't my field)
@Ash It's like a human Demogorgon.
Kaz
Kaz
@KazWolfe Not saying there wouldn't be push back, but they have the authority, and the entire military is built on the chain of command.
@KazWolfe Unfortunately, choosing to do something that they have authority to do so but not a good reason is not sufficient evidence that they are crazy
@Kaz Well, as the lead sysadmin of a server network, i have the authority to bring it to its knees in a matter of seconds. That doesn't mean that someone below me in the chain isn't going to either question my order or stop things before all hell breaks loose.
Kaz
Kaz
@KazWolfe Nukes go from big-red-button to missiles-in-the-sky in 3 minutes.
National military command has, what, a 2-minute window at most?
To decide if they want to commit treason.
06:31
???
> The United States has a two-man rule in place, and while only the president can order the release of nuclear weapons, the order must be confirmed by the Secretary of Defense
Kaz
Kaz
@KazWolfe I'm saying, you get a call from the president. They have *reasons* and they are authorising a nuclear strike.
Only the identity of the president is confirmed there, officially this is not a way to disagree with the launch
inb4 Trump makes his son SoD.
The SecOfDefense can't veto the order, but I'm sure they'll be willing to commit treason to prevent WWIII
@KazWolfe But the President chooses the Secretary of Defense. Given the election results, do you doubt that he would find someone willing to do crazy things?
06:33
@murgatroid99 Fair point...
@KazWolfe trump likes to surround himself with yes men
Kaz
Kaz
Your job, your responsibility, is to authenticate the president, that it is a valid launch, and pass it down the chain of command.
People who say no to trump don't last long
Welp. We're dead
Someone call Vault-Tec please.
Kaz
Kaz
@KazWolfe I don't think we are. Trump is a lot of things. But I don't think crazy is one of them.
06:37
We can only hope.
Oh wait I see someone already beat me to the room description
Well, a Republican in the Presidency and Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate. Whether for good or ill, obstructionist gridlock might be over.
God damnit, Toomey won reelection in PA too, that spineless asshole
I don't want to look at my stocks tomorrow
@Yuuki they caused it now they will take credit for "solving" it
06:41
> The Associated Press has called Pennsylvania for Trump.
Don't worry. At least PA isn't deciding whether we get to keep or trash plastic bags.
RIP everyone
With a Vice President Pence it doesn't matter, but McCrory has been unseated in North Carolina
@GodEmperorDune FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Can we just get Pence as the President? He's actually competent I think
06:42
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
He supports conversion therapy so, sure, he's competently evil
Trumperino wins
9/11 never forget
sorry, meant 11/9
2
Competent meaning not an idiot like Trump.
@KazWolfe have you looked at Indiana lately?
06:43
@GodEmperorDune Well, it's either they solve it or they try to somehow pull "it's a rigged system" in 2020 when they are the system.
better an idiot than a liar
can we not pls
Half-competent. Better?
@Ash I don't want to, but you know suicidal mindsets. I've significantly lowered my chances of doing something I'd regret by locking away stuff so well I hope I'll get fine
user15026
06:45
Okay, here's the thing - if you are just here to rag on the election and push buttons and provoke reactions, don't do it.

user15026
@arda yes, I do. I am happy you took steps to keep yourself safe. <3
@arda You'll get through this, I promise. We're all behind you.
I really don't want to start ranting and therefore remember bad stuff that keeps happening so I'm off, going to read some books
@arda Stay frosty memers.
@arda Come by AUGR when this is all over. We miss you there.
user15026
06:48
@arda be gentle to yourself. You are worth that. I promise.
Dammit America. You had one job. I'm going back to bed, >:(
@iKlsR I swear even my meme discords are full of trump stuff already, nowhere to run.
Still can't believe Harambe died for this.
@KazWolfe will do
06:49
I think TNB is also safe right now?
I will cancel stars on that
Yeah, @arda, you can go to TNB. No politics allowed.
@Unionhawk @GodEmperorDune pls, how trump actually won
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
@KazWolfe Im active over there, tnb also has some politics
@arda Really? I don't see anything election-related there
06:51
I need to grow a thicker skin so off to /b/
pls don't
> First black president to first orange president?
@arda Please no. Nobody deserves to visit /b/
> Orange Is The New Black
06:52
alright
my stocks are worth roughly $16k at the moment
Let's see how that holds up tomorrow morning
Bad idea
Wayyyyy too many nudes.
I mean I need to sell at some point
Oh
I thought you meant me looking tomorrow
@Unionhawk u mean today?
SHUT UP
And trump memes. A lot of that.
06:54
I might fire up Tor and brave /b/ soon...
Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in the upcoming Spider-Man movie? Whaaaaaa?!
@KazWolfe b is better in last few years. Much less illegal content.

@Yuuki nice
20k comment thread on thedonald
Congratulations, /b/. You singlehandedly changed our country's future.
Maine goes 3 for Hillary, 1 for Trump
Calling it now: over the next week, we're going to see the same thing the UK saw after the Brexit vote: an upsurge in racially-motivated and nationalist-motivated violence
sad but true
07:06
@murgatroid99 Frankly, I think this was likely regardless of the result.
especially since you already have, what, a 1.2/day shootings average?
Nebraska goes completely to Trump. +1 to him, bringing him to 266. Hillary at 218.
@TrentHawkins More so, I think, with this apparent mandate for racism and xenophobia
I think the best-case scenario with that violence was a Hilary landslide - might have sent enough of a message that Trump's rhetoric was unacceptable - there would have still been angry racists doing angry racist things, but they'd overall be less empowered than with the current results.
To anyone thinking about financial decisions tomorrow:
> Warren Buffet: "to buy or sell on current news is just crazy".

Burton Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street: "market timing is dangerous".

Rick Van Ness, well-known Boglehead and AMA guest: "stay the course".
07:14
To those making any decisions tomorrow --^
... crud - just realized; I'm behind on watching The Daily Show... Monday's episode is going to be depressing.
Kaz
Kaz
@badp That's 1.2 mass shootings per day.
oh good
does yesterday's count?
/me *growls at other Kaz*
07:19
calm down kittens
@Arperum pls
so wtf does "split vote in Maine" even mean
let me explain
So Maine isn't a winner-takes-all state. Both parties can basically win electorate votes from it.
Also, PA is no longer confirmed.
Kaz
Kaz
@badp Maine is one of (very few) states that give electoral college votes based on vote share, rather than winner-takes-all
o right
07:21
Apparently data was wrong, only 89% total votes have been counted, and only ~70,000 vote difference.
No idea what, why, or how, but the count just dropped from 99 something to 89.
@Kaz IIRC, they split electoral votes by district and there's a separate "electoral" district that goes to the winner of the popular vote.
People down the steeet are smashing glass and chanting racist things
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess.
@GodEmperorDune call 911
or not
I dunno how that works
07:25
Arm yourself?
@KazWolfe pls, why would you even bring such an idea up
My wife is calling
@badp Police won't help, so...
@KazWolfe so escalate?!
07:26
They are saying "no muslims, no blacks, we took our country back"
1 vs a group of racist thugs?
@badp lethal force only when lethal force is absolutely necessary.
are you insane?
Probably.
No way I'm fooling around with that
07:26
dude you show up armed you're going to see lethal force being applied
just in your general direction
AND THIS IS IN LIBERAL CALIFORNIA
Hey can anyone help me with AWS VPC config ? i have a query
I didn't say go outside waving your gun around.
Plus I have no gun
@GodEmperorDune Where we ban plastic bags!
07:29
@VinoodNKMaheshwari Amazon virtual private server? You realize this is the gaming chat exchange?
I mean, there is a surprising amount of programmers here but that's coincidence
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so trump really won like no chance it'll get to hrc?
Like, recounts etc maybe?
@arda HRC still has a possible shot.
Like I said, PA is no longer locked in, and Trump hasn't hit 270 yet.
But likely, he's won already. It would take a miracle for something else to happen.
@KazWolfe Michigan is a state of Trump voters, most likely
@Nzall It's actually relatively close, and not callable just yet.
Well then. Podesta does not like losing.
I thinks there is a large influx of people going to /r/Aww right now
07:33
AP called it
welp, gn
Standing by for confirmation...
So, my thoughts on the matter can be summed up as the following 4 comic series from Homestuck: mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005114 and the 4 after that
All hail Supreme Overlord Donald J. Trump!
Wisconsin called, 274 Trump to 218 Clinton. Note that results are not yet 100% set in stone. Not all votes are counted and unexpected things may happen
Is election day a national holiday btw?
I don't think there's school
07:37
Nope
America is weird
hmm
I mean you could just pack your things and move to canada then... guess it would be worth a shot lol
If we pool all our money together, do you think we could hire someone to do something about Trump?
American privilege is thinking you can move anywhere if Trump is elected but wanting to reject refugees who are fleeing wars
Talking about something that would lead him being unelectable
@badp Generally, the people who want to move away are politically opposed to those who want to reject refugees
07:39
Pupdate: the guys got arrested but I still hear smashing from elsewhere
@Nzall If the plethora of things he has done and or said hasn't made him unelectable not sure what could now
@iKlsR a scandal similar to what happened with Clinton in the 90s
mhm
Doesn't have to be a sex scandal
Maybe if he gets actually convicted of fraud
07:40
Fuck
@Nzall once you have ingested gorilla meat you can't be stopped, only out is death

07:43
shipment x2 it is
@murgatroid99 that's ominous as fuck
That's it
go home, lock up your doors
@badp you know I'm right
the end is neigh.
@murgatroid99 please don't do anything unforeseen
07:44
@djsmiley2k hide your wives before they are grabbed
Trump wouldn't have lost the elections gracefully
@badp I'm just talking about direct consequences of the Trump presidency
let's not stoop down to his level
@murgatroid99 okay it almost sounded like you had something in mind.
trump didn't win, people voted against hilly
@badp I'm pretty sure the original context of the quote was a warning about the actions of others
07:45

@fredley amusingly that's not satire.
Try/usd is 3.2 send help
BRITAIN: Brexit is the stupidest, most self-destructive act a country could undertake. USA: Hold my beer.
07:48
me in my country watching this unfold was fun
@murgatroid99 it's not like the g-man wouldn't arrange those unforeseen consequences
of course without a closure to the game series it's hard to tell
I would set the us on fire, but I'm afraid I would burn myself from all the self-inflicted fire.
Now, will California please overturn the plastic bag ban?
@badp I always interpreted him as an interested but mostly disconnected third party, mainly interfering with events by providing information and aid to Gordon Freeman and those around him
Oh and nice I forgot to study for exam when losing my shit over trump winning
Nice
07:54
lol that kid does not want to be there
@murgatroid99 the friendly aliens whose name I can't remember didn't think so
Welp, time to ignore all social media even more than I already do.
I don't think I'll even look at non-gaming subreddits.
Hunker down, wait for everything to blow over.
Which will probably be late February or early March.
Try not to think about the supreme court at thus time
this kid is gonna become a meme
@fredley Try not to think.
07:59
@Kevin van Yes i can see how much gaming and programming talks going on buddy
Thanks Obama

We'll miss you
so @fredley, any advice on how to handle a brexitlike fuckup?
@iKlsR Nothing wrong with that
@KevinvanderVelden yeah really can see its very usefull talks going on here ,,Thanx men

08:03
@GodEmperorDune Well, good news is that there's currently no snappy name like Brexit that everyone else can use to make jokes at our expense.
@Yuuki How about "we got Trumped"?
@Yuuki Trumpgate?
@Yuuki "Trump" and "US" are enough of a joke already, no need for extra names.
@Yuuki I'm sticking with Merica
@badp 'Murica!
08:04
pray that I don't try and come up with snappy names
On the other hand, the only person who can make Brexit jokes regularly now is @Wipqozn.
@Yuuki The apocalypse?
@Yuuki what
And maybe @badp.
The thing that frightens me the most is the amount of people willing to kill themselves over this
08:05
Ugh, making Brexit jokes is a part of my life that I didn't know I would miss so much.
I am so curious about Hillary's speech
like, I don't see all that many people saying they are going to kill themselves, but like half my Twitter feed is people saying it's not worth commiting suicide over this
I don't know that none of my followers is contemplating
and I can think of a couple of people who would
08:07
@Yuuki I mean I'm not in either the US or UK
@KevinvanderVelden Yeah, but I don't think you make that many Brexit jokes. And so I bequeathe my allotment to you. Taunt @fredley as you wish.
@Nzall Well, I guess it's time for the millennials to stop taking s--- from everyone else and become the new Greatest Generation.
what I can't wait for
is attendance numbers by age
that stuff was good in the UK
> The moon is always facing us and moving away at an inch and a half a year and I realize now that it is backing away slowly.
@badp I think exit polls showed that while Clinton didn't get as much of the millennial vote as Obama, it was only a 1 point change and they still voted predominantly for her.
@Yuuki 538 said, if 1% of vote shifted from Trump to Hillary, she'd have won
@Yuuki Third party votes was very high
08:15
@badp 1 point change in millennials whereas there was a far higher change in other age demographics.
@GodEmperorDune Pretend it's not happening
@PrivatePansy Yeah, but you can't put all those votes at Clinton's feet.
At least some of them would've gone to Trump.
If HALF of the people who voted for Gary Johnson in Florida voted Hillary instead, we wouldn't be in this mess

I blame @uni for this
@fredley you should blame @Wipqozn
@GodEmperorDune No. You can also get some blame for this.
@Arperum my state went heavy clinton
All the problems are created by Americans, we should build a wall to keep them out.
@fredley Aren't they doing that themselves already?
08:50
And we'll make them pay for it!
@GodEmperorDune Your country went stupid. If you use your logic it would excuse @fredley from being at fault for brexit, which is just lunacy.
@fredley we'll pay you in stocks
@Arperum you make a compelling point
nonetheless as exemplified by the president-elect, i am blaming someone else, namely @Wipqozn, for everything wrong with tonight

Shut up, all of you. You're letting your anger and emotions about Trump interfere with your logical thought.
