pretty sure prescription drugs are "easy" to sell, because the prescription is not hard to get, so getting the product to sell (in reasonably low quantities) is, presumably, easy

badp

everything is rotten bad

Chippies

of course it's probably a lot more complicated once you're trying to get enough prescription pills for it to actually be worth selling

(I could be totally wrong as I have no idea on pricing of the on-the-street drugs)

hell, I barely even know how much I pay for my lorazepam at the pharmacy. I just estimate it's a dollar per pill, never actually looked at the exact price...

American gods starts off really unbelievable, an american prison with nearly all white people in it?

that was a terribad joke :/

Yeah a Canadian prison!

Canada has prisons?

hey, if we're gonna insult stereotypes, lets hit em all

@djsmiley2k yes

Or maybe the prison has self segregated by race

@GodEmperorDune Nah, there's one non-white person at least

djsmiley2k

@GodEmperorDune they don'#t just freeze to death first?

yeah, that... I think

anyway, mostly black prison, no one said anything :O

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden anyway the real question is "is the show as good as the book?"

I heard anansi was great

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune I've heard good things.

djsmiley2k

Is it Neil Gaiman or did I imagine it?

Kevin van der Velden

4:37 PM

@djsmiley2k Because it's america, institutionalized racism is a thing, a mostly black prison is realistic there

djsmiley2k

mithc was good

Kevin van der Velden

@djsmiley2k you did not

GodEmperorDune

@djsmiley2k yes it's gaiman

@GodEmperorDune I have not read the book and watched about 15 minutes so far =p

GodEmperorDune

American gods is well written and great but also very depressing

djsmiley2k

life is depression

or something

art mirrors life

GodEmperorDune

The main character goes through A LOT of shit

Like the world keeps punching

djsmiley2k

I watched a program where Lucifer goes through a lot of shit, and felt bad for him

I'm sure it'llbe ok :D

also, is there not like people with superpowers?

Tim Stone

@KevinvanderVelden I'm too lazy to check every state but Idaho seemingly has the most-white prison population, at 77%. Even there it's under-represented

djsmiley2k

4:39 PM

and you're questioning the realism?

GodEmperorDune

I mean I don't wanna spoil it so I won't go further

@djsmiley2k they're good gods, bront

djsmiley2k

Is there a Oh' god of hangovers ?

Tim Stone

Most other states have a predictably larger disparity

Oh wait I forgot to check the north east

GodEmperorDune

@djsmiley2k Jeff the god of biscuits and Steve the god of hairdos

Tim Stone

Sorry, it's probably Maine, which is evidently super, super white

Q: What are the specific mechanics governing how shields work in Breath of the Wild

I don't mean, "what button activates them," or anything like that. I'm trying to understand how they function as a defense mechanism. Here's what a (partially made up) version might be for how armor works: Armor reduces the damage Link takes by a fixed percentage. Each piece of armor has a pr...

I still can't believe he is a person that someone has voted for

BlueBarren

@Lazers2.0 @Yuuki I'm finding this question weird. Don't shield block all damage while they're raised?

Yuuki

@BlueBarren I think he's talking about the armor stat on various pieces of armor.

Like Knight armor vs. Hylian armor.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki but he's asking about shields?

Yuuki

Oh wait.

Hmm...

I think the number on shields is just the durability but I do seem to recall being hit/damaged by some attacks while using a flimsy shield.

BlueBarren

Maybe it's because I don't use flimsy shields

@GnomeSlice I took a look at them. Murdock seems to be getting a lot of changes.

Yeah which is weird because he's still quite popular the way he is

Yuuki

@GnomeSlice Eh, I see it more as a room that gamers happen to be in rather than a room about gaming.

BlueBarren

I like that they're removing his weird movement ability. Felt like it did nothing whenever I used it.

Twinblast has a shitty short dash thing

I am an idiot

GnomeSlice

@Beedrill I'm looking forward to it, I haven't been playing as much lately though. Been getting absolutely dumped on in ranked lately

Like I'm back down to gold 3 or something

Beedrill

I watched a little more gameplay. It seems floatier than SSB.

GnomeSlice

Air control is much tighter than in brawl

But brawl is the floatiest smash game

air game is huge

In fact I've gotten in the habit of even doing most of my ground sigs like a little hop off the ground cause the raised hitbox throws people off

You can do this cancel thing where you dash in the air and then you can quickly initiate an attack as though you're on the ground

@Elizer Don't trivialize mental health issues.

Elizer

How is it trivializing?

Dragonrage

Beedrill

@Elizer You were warned once. Take this timeout and remember next time.

Avery

5:28 PM

@Dragonrage nice!

BlueBarren

@Dragonrage now that's smart

Now we just need that guy to climb the ladder, become the CEO of Comcast and fix the problem for everyone

Avery

@Beedrill I do not see this as a good move. User wasn't mocking others' mental health abnormalities, but rather trying to view theirs from a different perspective.

Dragonrage

how not to do wheelchair accessibility

Chippies

@Beedrill by timing him out without explaining what he did wrong (and why you think it was wrong) is basically censorship without reason

Beedrill

If you are warned to stop an action and don't, then a 30 minute time out is a small price to pay.

Chippies

5:32 PM

or at least it might seem like that to him, because in the future he will avoid posting such thing, in fear of getting timed out, rather than understanding why he shouldn't post things that trivialize mental health

Frank

While an explanation would be nice, a half hour timeout isn't the end of the world.

It sends a pointed message to sit up and listen.

Chippies

@Frank certainly not, but it's not preventing it from happening next time, because if it's not explained why he got the timeout, he won't learn from it

Arperum

I thought mods can only do increments of hours?

Avery

@Arperum they can flag which insta validates

which is 30 mins

Arperum

Ah, didn't know that part.

Yuuki

5:34 PM

oh yeah, it's 12:30.

I should go get lunch.

Frank

@Chippies Then he can ask for more information when he gets back.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki it's actually 1:35

Chippies

@Frank I'm just saying - he was warned previously with no explanation and he was timed out this time with no explanation, and he did ask for one this time

in fact, he got timed out after he asked

Beedrill

To be fair also, this image feels like it came from a set that included the previous one he was warned about. They have identical messages.

Avery

@Elizer I believe that by making it into a fancily written quote or a wallpaper, it might be considered trivialization. I have my set of issues, I know that a number of people in bridge do, but it's just that talking about it or seeing it all around may make some people uncomfortable.

Beedrill

5:36 PM

So if you're warned about the content of a thing, and then post another thing with virtually identical content, that's ban-worthy.

Frank

@Chippies Great, so tell him why, then.

Beedrill

It doesn't matter what specific subject matter is even in the thing at that point.

Chippies

clearly he doesn't understand how it trivializes mental issues (especially since he has claimed he has aspergers, which I believe includes difficulties understanding social cues, I think), so it would help if someone actually explained it to him

@Frank I don't feel knowledgeable enough on the topic to do that

Beedrill

I will be the first to admit that on this specific subject matter, I am not the best mod to explain that. I didn't ban for subject matter specifically; I banned for not heeding a direct warning.

Chippies

which is why I don't comment on his links about it

Beedrill

5:38 PM

If someone else wants to take a stab at the subject matter issue, I leave it to you.

Avery

(small note to elizer: I know that your brother also uses SE chat- be aware that him relaying your messages while you're banned is... also a bannable offense, don't try that, wait for the timeout to wear off)

BlueBarren

@Elizer you posted content like this before that seemed to not sit well with people so I was just trying to remind you that it probably isn't a good idea to do it again.

Frank

@Chippies Then we can discuss when he gets back. Its half an hour.

@Elizer I'm sure someone else can explain it better, but the gist of it is that your pics are making light of these mental issues. Like they're a joking matter, rather than serious issues that some people suffer from

@Elizer the only downside I see to this is that you could overplay them and start disliking them

So you know how there are games that only come out on PlayStation in Japan just because it's more popular there and Xbox doesn't do well at all? I wonder if the Switch is going to be brought into that fold

I saw a One Piece game that is only coming to PS4/Switch/PC

so now I'm curious

Elizer

6:09 PM

@Beedrill Well that's good. Wait, what if it's MCR, FOB, Johnny Cash, BNL's, P!ATD and TDG?

Yuuki

@BlueBarren I think there are already a couple of Wii or Wii U games that were only out in Japan.

The good news is that Switch is region-free so you can import them anyways.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki were they only on Wii/Wii U or were they on PlayStation as well?

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn actually it looks like my bank's fraud department caught and blocked the transaction so I don't have to change my card number

6:11 PM

@GodEmperorDune Yay!

DanmakuGrazer

@Elizer That's even worse

Yuuki

I mean, you don't have to, but branching out means you can find music that you like even more.

BlueBarren

I'm lazy and I like pop so I just listen to the radio

Beedrill

@Elizer I like MCR and FOB, so that sounds fine. The rest I could take or leave, but that's why there's different music.

Elizer

@Yuuki I have a pandora account, but I don't like it that much because I can't choose which exact song to play, and there is no order to it.

Yuuki

6:12 PM

@Elizer Eh, being able to choose which exact song to play means you just end up playing the same 13 songs and you're back where you started.

Elizer

Wow. I'm surprised you guys knew what I was talking about.

@Yuuki But that's the beauty of order.

Beedrill

@Elizer To be fair, I really only like one MCR album, but it is one of my favorite albums.

Yuuki

@Elizer If your goal is to branch out, shuffling songs doesn't really matter.

Elizer

And I do add and remove songs sometimes... But only for like a day.

In fact, there is one song I do want on my playlist. Hang on.

There we go. Added six new songs.
