The Awkward Silence

1:28 AM

Whenever we are intimate, my partner never lets me pleasure them. If I try to continue after I'm done, they just shoot me down with something like "it's OK," or "you don't need to,", or "don't worry about it." At first I thought they might be shy about it since there are other people at my home,...

I love the smell of ~~coffee~~ HNQ comments cleanup in the morning

dhein

6:16 AM

I wonder how that smells, tho '^.^

JAD

6:28 AM

@dhein like coffee

avazula

6:39 AM

satisfaction, excitement and peace... like coffee :p

Journeyman Geek

I'd swap excitement for boredom

I need more boredom in my life

dhein

How selfish it is then to not share the cleanup :P

CaldeiraG

@EmC i know :D

JAD

@dhein who said it isn't shared? Go flag!

@JourneymanGeek Boredom yay :)

Boredom allows you to stimulate your creativity. We could all use being bored a bit more.

Ælis

Oh dear, I just realize that, according to planning, the MSE flooding is for today 😱 Go hide people, the reactions to this new CoC are gonna be ugly !

user58

Hmm, I kinda suspect they might push it off. I hope they do, at any rate.

dhein

@JAD Uhhh still some coffee left for me? x)

@user58 acknowledged :P

@Ælis MSE flooding? CoC?

Ælis

@user58 Yeah, I too hope that they won't push it if it isn't ready

user58

Last I saw, it definitely wasn't ready, so...

Ælis

6:56 AM

@dhein Remember the dumpsterfire that Tink told you about? Well, the new Code of Conduct is linked to that

@user58 I'm afraid they will still push it. I mean, it's been something like a month since they talked to you mod about it, right? If they feel things aren't moving forward anymore, well... :/

dhein

@Ælis Ah, so it is related to the license change to CC BY 4.0? That topic hit me at work a few days before I went on vacation. Thats why I asked Tink when she mentioned it if it is related to some sort of policys. ^^

JAD

@dhein not at all

user58

@Ælis A week or so since we got the text for feedback. Less.

JAD

the posted schedule said this monday right?

Ælis

@user58 Oh, I though they had already gave you another version a month ago and that the version of this monday was an "almost ready maybe" update of this old version

Journeyman Geek

7:08 AM

@dhein No

Its a clarification of what's there

JAD

@Ælis that's what I understood too. Although I don't think much was said on whether the two versions that were/would be shared had much or any changes made to them in between

Journeyman Geek

Nope

I actually need to check if the version released publically is a RFCish one or mostly final

ah final

Morning!

Hi!

Time for coffee :D

7:23 AM

@Tinkeringbell Ava took already all the coffe for them self :O

And morning x)

M.A.R.

@user58 no it doesn't

I'm gonna nitpick at your definition

Tinkeringbell

7:39 AM

@dhein Oh, ava shares :P But it's mod-only coffee XD

dhein

upset

Tinkeringbell

I don't think Smokedetector takes commands in here, but if you go to the Tavern or Charcoal HQ, it can give you coffee ;)

Q: Why am I not included?

My friends are going to Disneyland with their online friend but I'm wasn't invited even though I have a pass and know a lot about their friend. There's three of them so why didn't they invite me to make it an even number for like rides and stuff. One of my friends seems to be interested in the gu...

friends

dhein

@Tinkeringbell Nah now I am already upset and want to stay upset just for the sake of being upset xP

CaldeiraG

@Tinkeringbell , you mistyped on the comment, it's alex :p

Tinkeringbell

9:06 AM

@CaldeiraG Shhh :P Fixed it, thanks!

CaldeiraG

@Tinkeringbell You're welcome :p

oh crap, both my cat pictures have 3 stars :D

Hey, I answer this old IPS meta question last night and I'm a bit afraid it would go unnoticed so, here you go (note that I don't mind people not upvoting because they think the answer isn't useful, but the idea of it not been seen at all doesn't sit well with me):

A: When is an answer 'not an answer'?

Here is what happens when you flag something as "Not an Answer": It goes through the Low-Quality Posts review queue. The community reviews it. Depending on the result of the review, the answer is deleted or not. Now, if you flag something using a custom mod flag: It doesn't go through the r...

Ælis

9:43 AM

For those interested, I edited my question in the sandbox and believe it's much more on-topic now. I would still enjoy some feedback to make sure it's now good to go :)

CaldeiraG

@Ælis You have a typo on quality criteria :p

Ælis

@CaldeiraG Fixed, thanks :)

Q: How do I deal with severe anxiety?

Before you write something on this threat let me clarify that this post can be a trigger for some people. These are the things which happened in my past which I think caused all this anxiety; As a child, I was physically abused by my School for not completing my homework (The duration of that w...

depression anxiety

Ælis

10:46 AM

Just FYI, I'm now known as "BelovedFool" (after one of the most important characters in Robin Hobb's books) on MSE and other technicals sites. I'll probably change avatar over there soon, so you won't recognize me unless you know

dhein

11:16 AM

@Ælis You gotta lay low? What did you do? :P

bruglesco

11:42 AM

@dhein they existed

Good morning. I'm not looking forward to the reaction myself. I will not be engaging in the ending debate.

avazula

Hey bruglesco!

Tinkeringbell

Morning :)

@dhein MSE can be mean.

will be mean is probably an even better phasing.

bruglesco

Yes. It will

Ælis

12:08 PM

@dhein What the others said :) Also, I like to keep some aspect of my life separated from one another (so that a bad thing happening in one place wouldn't affect the other place) and I was starting to worry that things weren't separated enough anymore (so changing username seemed like a good first step)

JAD

@Ælis even with different names, the accounts are easy to find through the profile, just fyi

Ælis

@JAD Yeah, I know, just hoping that most people won't dig too much

JAD

fair enough

profile pic is a biiiig part in that

Ælis

Don't worry, changing profile pic is already planned :) I just have to choose a new one first (and since I don't feel any urgency, I'll probably do it quietly tonight, when I'm at home)

avazula

12:31 PM

@Ælis want a new ava?

I can make something different

:p

dhein

@bruglesco Well, obviously they do, otherwise I would be strange texting with them :P

@Tinkeringbell So I should change my nick, better too? '^.^

@Ælis That made me more confused than it helped me. But if you don't want to go in further details, thats fine by me :)

Tinkeringbell

@dhein Nah ;)

Ælis

@avazula Oh dear, that really is tempting. Although, I'm afraid someone would realize that they are similar (draw by the same artist) and decide to snoop around :/ But I would also love to see what else you could draw! So, if you decide to draw something for me, I would definitively love that! But I can't promise you to wear it (However, I'm pretty sure I will have fun colorizing it if you send a picture of an uncolored version of it)

Tinkeringbell

@Ælis There is a profile setting to hide certain sites on your network profile for regular users too...

avazula

@Ælis no worries, I was mostly messing around :) I could draw something though

Journeyman Geek

12:41 PM

@Tinkeringbell MSE can be difficult ;p

Easier for some that others XD

JAD

@Tinkeringbell I can't reproduce that. No mod dashboard :/

Tinkeringbell

@JAD Ah, yeah, that's special ;)

Here's a better one:

JAD

ah gotcha

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek People don't change their names because sites are 'difficult' :P

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell eh,

(I'm a bit worried people are scared of MSE >_>)

Ælis

12:46 PM

@Tinkeringbell That's awsome, thank you!

Tinkeringbell

@Ælis You're welcome :)

Ælis

Also, I just receive a new ergonomic mousse for work, so my wrist won't hurt as much \o/

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Meh, people here don't seem to be scared. They've written some pretty awesome posts over the last few weeks there, but it's sad they are dealing with this kind of crap now.

Journeyman Geek

It is

Tinkeringbell

@Ælis Oh, is it one of those 'upright' thingies? With the buttons on 1 side?

'cause if it is.... I find those highly annoying XD

Journeyman Geek

12:48 PM

lol

everyone has their own preferences ;p

dhein

@Ælis Honestly, If someone would be that invested into finding your identity, before they will figure any similaritys, leading to the same drawer of your to be ava and your current still ava... Than before they draw all these conclusions they were multiple times on your profile and knew anyways. So no need to resist that temptation :)

Ælis

@Tinkeringbell It is, I would probably need some time to adjust, but I'm existed none the less :D

dhein

@Tinkeringbell Annoying to get used to, but ergonomically without doubt more healthy x)

Tinkeringbell

@Ælis They are very fancy! And I hope you really do have less trouble with your wrists from now on :)

@dhein Oh sure. I don't use the mouse that much though, so I have a small keyboard and gaming mouse for work use, and that's it.

dhein

@Ælis I am using one at work for around a year now. still not 100% used to it precision wise. But on the other hand (no pun intended) I clearly experience that it relieves the brace.

Rainbacon

12:52 PM

@scohe001 This is absolutely true, like how yesterday, on the day that my parents were coming to stay with us, our cat decided to turn the guest bed into her litter box

dhein

@Tinkeringbell fair enough :)

By the way, I tried to be kind and not come up with this topic, as I kindly was asked to not to. But since it is comming up over and over again anyways, could some one give me a link to what you are talking about plz, just so I don't feel left out in the conversations?

Tinkeringbell

@dhein I think you might want to start here then.

There's been... a slew of posts since then, I don't have a list of 'em.

Rainbacon

For the most part you can find them all by following links from the one Tink gave you

scohe001

@Rainbacon oh no O_O

Ælis

You can also find them/related one by looking at the newest one and only read the ones with a lot of participation

Rainbacon

1:01 PM

@scohe001 Yeah, she was a bad kitty yesterday

dhein

@Tinkeringbell Thats fine, thanks for the reference. I will be able to figure myself the way from there on ^^

I am calling it a day now. Wishing you all a further nice day :)

Tinkeringbell

@dhein You too! :)

Rainbacon

Looks my questions here won't be getting answered. The OP has been online since then. :(

Tinkeringbell

1:24 PM

@Rainbacon Don't lose too much hope (yet)! They may have seen them and still be thinking of answers :)

Rainbacon

That's true, I'd like to be able to help them, but I can't even be sure it's possible until the questions get answered

It's a unregistered account so maybe they're trying to figure out how to "login again" XD
