@Rainbacon Of course he ain't. I wouldn't be OK with Mith pulling my strings either.

Oh no, I was actually thinking of having the bot actually post it's age, but it might be funnier this way

Hmm, that comment already has an upvote. Perhaps the system should penalize anyone who upvotes a post that gets nuked by rude flags

Well, not implying anything, BUT

I mean, I am implying it, but

Damn, I was excited to flag but too slow :(

not asserting anything, but

Three minutes and already a comment upvote would raise some suspicious flags for me, unless it's an active OP themselves.

I'm asserting that.

Or maybe assuming it.

By experience anyway.

I had some sock puppet kebab a couple of years ago about something similar on Chem.

I know that you lose 100 rep for having a question/answer deleted with spam/rude flags. Is there a penalty for having comments deleted with rude flags?

That was one of the best burnings of my life.

@M.A.R. Suspicious how? Multiple user accounts? Making an alternate just to upvote your own comment once sounds impossible petty, but I often seem to underestimate people in that regard

@Rainbacon I think too many raises some sort of autoflag but no, there are no such penalties for comments

@Rainbacon that's an @EmC question

@Upper_Case Ha.

HA.

You just answered your own question, sir/madam.

@scohe001 If I multiply him again with a C, will he explode?

@M.A.R. "Sir" will do, unless you're willing to use "madame", in which case I'm indifferent. Mostly so I can work in "ma-DAMN!" some way or another

Man that number is so big I'd explode if I was multiplied by it.

@M.A.R. *her. And I'd like if you didn't try to find out. I like her as a fully functional non-blown-up IPS mod :)

And I'm pretty hardcore. I take in @Mith's jokes.

@scohe001 Boy this chat is confusing

I'd use "girl" as an interjection too but it doesn't seem entirely appropriate.

@M.A.R. I prefer "man." I haven't been a boy for quite a few years now

;P

Wait, Em C is a . . . Oh right that was Elendia Starperson.

Blue names.

I just realized that we have a surprisingly large number of non-blue names in chat at the moment

@scohe001 Actually, I think "man" at least has morphed into something different. You're not calling someone a "man" if you use it

@Rainbacon that means the Miths aren't watching!!

@Rainbacon Hmm. How'd that happen?

Not sure about "boy". I'm not that culturally rich.

Oh no

I can teach you about Tabriz food though. We rock.

DID SOMEONE SAY BLUE NAMES???

@scohe001 See, that's where you're wrong...

Facepalm There we go again.

@M.A.R. lol I know, I'm teasing :p

@scohe001 Boy Poe's Law is elusive.

That's more like a Picard facepalm. Exquisite and glorious.

@M.A.R. But it's right there!

@scohe001 I wanna click on it but this Google Ad is on the way

. . . Let's take a moment to realize CHRIST! WHAT BECAME OF GOOGLE?!

It used to a trustee "but at least you're not evil" company.

That sounds really crazy right now.

@M.A.R. Almost every ad I see on youtube is from Grammarly, LOL.

You can be on Google hardware, running a Google OS, in a Google browser, using a Google DNS, visiting a Google website. Literally nothing from your fingers to the data is touching anything but Google. That is scary to me.

@scohe001 what'd I do >.>

You're such a diligent mod I just couldn't help but ping you :)

@JaspervanLooij Do your grammar needs corrected? We were happy to help.

Sorry, I can't resist either. @EmC.

<slowmo>Em Ceeeeeeeee</slowmo>

@scohe001 hmm... suspicious.......

Delta Theta.

:P

@EmC My mantra is shoot first, ask later.

@scohe001 Do you think it is worth the money to buy a Chromebook and try Chrome OS? I haven't done that before.

@Rainbacon no auto-penalty, but enough of them will raise an auto-flag so mods can check what's going on

@JaspervanLooij oh I was thinking an Android phone. But there's that too I guess. I have no idea how they are--I've never used one.

@M.A.R. (trying and failing to think of a "Han shot first" joke)

Sometimes, the best attempt is one of impulse and no previous thought.

@EmC Just wondering. Did Ava draw the glasses for you?

What? Noooo. — Mark Wahlberg

@JaspervanLooij I believe they're from the SE Winter Bash hats: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/319838/…

@JaspervanLooij @scohe is correct :)

I just photoshopped them to have galaxy color instead of red

the photo is just off a search for "Einstein in headphones" :P

I just don't know about this "Awkward Silence." It brings out my typing fingertips because you can't see or hear me. As someone with clinically social anxiety i feel like a native invader. And as someone with sincere and compulsive creativity, i want to contribute.

@M.A.R. , indeed. Go-ogle has been robber-baroned but still has an eddy or two of refuge. I live next door and have fostered a few careers there, always waiting years to be allowed what they involved.

It is tempting to rename this chat room "The Awkard Outburst."
