According to the cable company reps who keep calling me, it's because I haven't upgraded to the XTREME GIGABAND PANAMAX FLAVOR-BLASTED PRO PACKAGE WITH HBO, which is only $5 more per month for the first 6 months and five billion dollars per month after that.

Hey shouldn't css be a synonym of design? @Randal'Thor? (and other mods)

Ankit Sharma

@SQB yeah it should

SQB

Ah, I see @Kevin is here: see above.

Ankit Sharma

@SQB he is always there but didn't seen him chatting

@SQB because on SFF it was never visible, I know it because I use M&TV chatroom more

I asked this question long back :

Q: Do we want Individual character tags and general character tags both? If yes then do we really need all 5 generic character tags?

We have individual character tags like voldemort , severus-snape, sirius-black etc. Keeping personal feelings apart, they are allowed by community. Then comes dual tags for a single character: superman vs clark-kent [Fixed] green-arrow vs oliver-queen [Fixed] and maybe more such cases Which ...

discussion tags

With almost no conclusion

Should I break it into parts and ask again ?

I am thinking to ask merging this all into one tag : characters character-motivation character-development female-characters character-similarity

SQB

08:20

Yes. Then that single tag should be deleted.

It is my opinion that we should not have any character tags at all, unless that character has their own (sub-) franchise.

An example of the latter would be han-solo. An example of the former would be voldemort.

@SQB I've no idea - I don't even know what CSS means. Gonna leave that decision to someone who has a clue about web design.

SQB

The design is implemented through the CSS, mainly. Should I ask on meta?

Rand al'Thor

Sure, if you like.

I just checked the list of automatic meta tags, and it includes [design] but not [css] (only [rss]).

Ankit Sharma

@SQB +1 in advance

Ankit Sharma

09:46

@Randal'Thor css tag was created here and not a default tag.

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma I know:

I just checked the list of automatic meta tags, and it includes [design] but not [css] (only [rss]).

Still don't know what it means ;-)

Ankit Sharma

hmmm

@Randal'Thor Google ?

> CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media. CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once.

So work as synonym of design tag very well

Q: Should we kill all the storm troopers?

In-universe, the correct spelling appears to be stormtroopers (with no capitals, no space), however there are a very considerable number of posts; both questions and answers, that refer to them as; Stormtroopers (Capital S) Storm troopers (with a space) Storm Troopers (Capital S, Capital T and ...

Is it not better if dc-animated-universe become the primary tag and dcau as synonym

It will be better from standardization too as in DCEU, full form is the primary tag

To make it clear front page will not be affected, just a plain mod tool of swap and merge

or meta?

Mithrandir

Yeah, Meta might be a good idea

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma If it needs mod tools, you need to either ask someone other than me (as I know zero about Marvel/DC stuff) or get a clear meta consensus.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor do any other mod come in chat here ?

Even in movies &TV tag [tag: dc-animated-universe] is the primary tag

Rand al'Thor

Well, Null and Kevin are both pingable.

I'm sure you're right, just don't want to take mod action on a topic I don't know anything about.

Ankit Sharma

@Mithrandir it doesn't seems like that big deal and seems like a reasonable request to me

Donald.McLean

12:45

@Marvin No, we should not be promoting violence.

Ankit Sharma

@Donald.McLean agreed

Even meta have star wars tag O.o

Mithrandir

12:56

@AnkitSharma and star-trek, and story-identification...

Ankit Sharma

@Mithrandir later one I can understand but not the former one

Mithrandir

I agree with @phantom42 that we should revisit the edit flood policy.

Marvin

13:11

Q: Should DC animated universe become the primary tag name rather then DCAU?

DCAU is the abbreviation for the famous franchise called the DC animated universe. Here the primary tag used for it is dcau, with dc-animated-universe as a synonym. But there is no length limit issue here, so is it not better to use dc-animated-universe as the primary tag? Even for the film univ...

TIL Radagast is the 7th Doctor

...the Brown?

And since Barty Crouch Jr is the 10th Doctor, we now have definitive proof that LOTR is in fact an anglo-saxon mythos/history as Tolkien intended.

@Mithrandir Yeah

@amflare by that logic, the Doctor is also the Purple Man, and therefore has been to the MCU.

which means Doctor Strange 2 should have the titular Doctor team up with the Who-Doctor to face off against Harry Potter

amflare

You say "Purple Man", I think FNAF.

Oh he is from Jessica Jones

DaaaahWhoosh

yup; I never played Fire: Not A Friend

amflare

Never saw it. Daredevil kinda ruined my expectations for Netflix/Marvel shows

DaaaahWhoosh

whaaaaat but Daredevil was the best of them!

amflare

I couldn't get through 3 episodes

DaaaahWhoosh

16:24

huh. okay then. It constantly surprises me that other people can have different tastes.

amflare

Iron Fist was mildly enjoyable. I might go back and watch Jessica Jones now.

DaaaahWhoosh

I'd say from what I remember, the list in order of goodness goes DD2, JJ, DD1, LC, IF

I like that they're all two names

Jessica Jones was cool because the bad guy was so different. You can't just go and beat him up.

amflare

Whats LC?

DaaaahWhoosh

Luke Cage

amflare

And the list of random MCU heros grows.

DaaaahWhoosh

16:31

yep. To be fair though, of the Netflix ones (they might be called the Defenders), the only one I knew about was Daredevil

amflare

"My god, it's full of heros"

(technically "characters" but who's counting?)

I wonder how they count alternate universes

@b_jonas We should have the-lord-of-the-rings, but it appears that no one cared.

Maybe synonymise it to the main tag?

Q: What is sci-fi stackexchange's stance on ideologically motivated questions?

My title pretty much encapsulates my concern. Are questions that are blatantly ideologically motivated (extreme example: "Why is Tolkien's portrayal of the westerlings so racist?") a problem or are they considered appropriate?

@Gallifreyan That's an interesting one, since the most canonical version (in the original Polish) doesn't have "the" because there's no word for "the" in Polish.

... however, "The Witcher" seems to be the most canonical English translation, so ... status-completed.
