Poor design that leads to ill consequences is something to consider a bug. So we fixed it.

Kinda, precisely for this kinda thing, fancy that.

kalina

ok so now we need to submit a single edit on each site, to get some rep?

because that's still not impossiible

not to mention having a huge network of sockpuppets allows mass cross voting

fredley

@kalina If we are fast we can outrun the servers

And the more people involved the better

kalina

yes

and if they thwart us

we can turn to plan b

Grace Note

Y'know, you were better off when you just planned to get 7 people to agree with you.

tombull89

@LessPop_MoreFizz um. Windows Media Player has done that for quite some time already.

badp

13:02

@tombull89 I think he wasn't referring to that.

fredley

@tombull89 Not that feature

kalina

and simply upvote people on math enough that the mods believe that our sockpuppets are their sockpuppets and ban them for us!

fredley

Look at the other features

tombull89

Oh.

Dammit.

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz Might try that then

kalina

13:05

@GraceNote wait, are you suggesting this has been done before?

Grace Note

@kalina It was done before in the future.

kalina

YOU PRE-EMPTED ME?

Ben Brocka

@kalina You'd need 10000 rep, so 5000 edits approved

@tombull89 p. Sure windows media player used to include a Nickleback track as a sample for new users.

This McAffee interview from slashdot is all kinds of batshit.

I went back to Samantha's and my room for a few minutes to search Sam's luggage for weapons. There were too many good looking women at the hotel for my comfort. Samantha is extremely jealous and twice tried to stab me when she thought I was looking at another woman.In any case, I happily found no weapons and was about to return to the group when I heard a knock at the door. It was a very agitated Rocco. "Bad news" he said.

Chills ran up my spine as I imagined Samantha sweet talking the hotel security guard into lending her his gun after seeing me glance at the undulating derrière of a stri…

@kalina Very painful.

@GrumpyLazers ITG

yes but being burned alive is very painful too

@kalina It's not really like any other sensations I've experienced. It's a unique kind of pain.

@spugsley I asked all these guys what it feels like to get kicked in the testicles

@OrigamiRobot This is not a bad start. Add to it that all the air gets sucked out of your lungs.

that's a wall of text, cba with that

I NEED TA GET READY FOR WORK BECAUSE I'M AN ADULT

kalina

I will just accept "it hurts immensely"

which explains why every time I've kicked somebody they always collapse on the ground in agony

3 mins ago, by kalina

@spugsley I asked all these guys what it feels like to get kicked in the testicles

spugsley

@Powerlord because I'm a photographer so I don't work in the real world :3

fbueckert

Ok. I blame @kalina.

LessPop_MoreFizz

> TL:DR Version... Getting kicked in the balls hurts about twice as much as being punched in the breast during puberty. It is possibly equal to getting punched in both breasts at the same time during puberty. If you never were lucky(?) enough to have gotten punched in the breast during puberty, then it basically hurts about five to ten times as much as getting punched in the breast after puberty. Not slightly but a good solid punch.

@kalina That is a relevant excerpt for you.

kalina

13:24

@fbueckert careface + good morning

spugsley

@LessPop_MoreFizz .....is getting punched in the boob area a normal thing?

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think it'd liken it more to nipple pinching honestly

kalina

...I have never been punched in the breasts

spugsley

because I've managed to avoid that for....roughly my entire life

OMG THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME

...wait is that what you meant?

LessPop_MoreFizz

> Now imagine transferring that sensation to your lower abdomen and groin region, and multiplying it by a factor of at least ten. When a guy takes a hit to the balls, there is an initial sharp, stabbing sensation, but that is just a mild precursor of what is to follow. Within a few seconds, a dull ache begins in his balls and spreads up to his pelvic region, lower abdomen, kidneys and lower back, growing in intensity all the time.

> It's like an invisible hand has reached into his guts and is powerfully squeezing, twisting and pulling at his vital organs, and it feels like his kidneys are going to explode out of his back! It can be completely incapacitating (which, of course, is why a knee to the balls can be such a powerful move in self-defence), and can leave him doubled up on the ground, utterly helpless and in great distress.

> If he is lucky, the pain will subside in a few minutes, and no lasting harm will have been done. But if the blow to his balls was sufficiently hard, he could vomit or pass out from shock. He could even stop breathing if the pain is so intense that it paralyzes his diaphragm (similar to a blow to the solar plexus). And, in very extreme cases, he might have a cardiac arrest and DIE (there are recorded cases of trauma to the testes being fatal)!

kalina

oh right

tombull89

13:28

And, in very extreme cases, he might have a cardiac arrest and DIE o.O

LessPop_MoreFizz

That is reasonably accurate.

OrigamiRobot

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yea, this is the vice part.

badp

In short evolution needs to put some work on that part.

kalina

so I should kick harder in future

understood

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Counterpoint: This is the result of an evolutionary imperative that we protect the part of us most critical to the preservation of the species.

badp

13:30

@LessPop_MoreFizz the heart e.g. is behind the ribcage though

the brains are securely wrapped inside the skull

kalina

tbh, in most men it's like the balls belong in the skull anyway, you think with them enough

badp

@BenBrocka I realize there are temeperature problems, but...

kalina

</generalisation>

badp

@kalina There you go, you've got your simile. It's like being kicked in the brains.
