@lila I saw it, thank you for the compliment! :p And yeah the worm has some unexpected effects on our brains, as it's taking a toll on our mental health and overall well-being ... Thank life for internet, or else I'd feel quite lonely right now

Also, morning everyone!

Morning

avazula

Hey AJ! Any chance you have a Friday joke for us? :)

Ael

07:16

Morning people :)

avazula

@Ael hello! :)

Ael

07:40

@lila You are not being a nuisance and groaning and moaning is probably good for your mental health, so I would say: keep doing that!

@avazula Hey, what's new in ava's world? :D

avazula

07:59

TGIFFFFF

That's what's new hehe

How are you doing @Ael?

CaldeiraG

Morning!

@lila :(, i'm tired too

@avazula you bet

Ael

@avazula I'm doing nicely :) Though I just learn that one of my coworker that I bounded with is leaving the company in a week (their contract ended) and it makes me a bit sad :(

Also, I wish it was way quicker to write a book because I want to read what happens next in all my favorite books ><

(Really good books are so amazing, I just want more)

avazula

@Ael aw man :( it sucks when someone you like leaves for another company

I feel you, I've been reading quite a lot lately hehe

Ael

@avazula Oh really? What kind of books? Anyone with LGBT+ main characters?

(sorry for the edit spam ^^')

avazula

08:14

@Ael non fiction mostly. One of them is a 900+ pages compilation called "Queer zones" so yeah, no non-LGBT characters in this haha

Ael

@avazula That sounds nice :D Though I'm not really into non fictional stuff

@Ael Last fiction book I read was Ubik ... I need some time to get back to it, this book shook me to the core haha

@avazula Since you love bees as well, I got a bee joke for you.

> I went to the pet shop and asked for 12 bees
The clerk counted out 13 bees and handed them over.
"You've given me one too many" I said.
"That one is a freebie"

avazula

08:47

Hahaha

Good one @AJ, thanks :)

A J

Another one

> Why did the bee buy a phone?
To cauliflower

Ael

@avazula Hum, I may have read it when I was younger (this one or another one from the same author). What I remember about? It was weird, I didn't really understand half of things and I decided after that that Philip K. Dick was not an author for me ^^

what a strange question on SO stackoverflow.com/questions/64023188/… Someone asks something with an obviously flawed code. 2 downvotes for this, but 6 answers. And finally the question gets closed for a completely arbitrary reason

weird stuff at work

Ael

09:48

@avazula So I just told this coworker that I was on the autism spectrum and they told me they were wondering if them were on it too. I told them that I think it's a strong possibility that they are indeed and then we literaly spend one full hour talking about that (even though I was very much suppose to work ^^)

Anyway, I gave this coworker a lot of ressource about autisme. I also gave them advice and responded to there questions and it was very cool to be able to help them, a (probably) fellow autistic person :D

avazula

that's amazing @Ael! A coworker of mine got diagnosed recently after I told him about my autism and he realized we shared a lot of similarities on the spectrum.

Ael

@avazula Oh, this is so cool! I gotta tell you that ava: We are awesome! \o/

(this conversation with my coworker really made me happy :D )

In fact, I am so happy I am currently kissing my favorite Teddy Bear (who isn't a bear) :D

avazula

10:09

ayy!

A J

10:58

@Ael 🤔

Ael

12:00

@AJ That's what happens when I am "too" happy. I feel the urge to give hugs and kisses so I usually end up giving those to: the book I am currently reading/a random pillow/one of my teddy bears/even the back of my hand sometimes

lila

12:40

hi

A J

@Ael You don't pat on your back? :P

@lila yello

Mithical

green

Ael

@AJ Unfortunately, my arms aren't long enough/flexible enough for me to do that :p

lila

Okay I will jump on the bee bandwagon :D @avazula What do you call a bee that's indecisive? A maybe.

@Ael That's cute ^.^

A J

> Did you hear about the beehive bees can’t get out of?
I heard it’s un-bee-leaveable.

lila

12:45

:D

@avazula Why do you love bees?

A J

For honey, of course :P

lila

Ha ha it would be a good joke on itself if you say that with a mumbling voice to intentionally make it unclear whether you said honey or money :D

A J

13:02

Lol

Ael

@Mithical Yup, sounds like me x)

lila

@Mithical :D :D :D

avazula

hahaha

@lila I'm a beekeeper :)

lila

13:24

@avazula Aha okay makes sense ^.^

Ael

13:37

@lila Though with the name @avazula, it would have made more sense if ava was an A keeper rather than a B one :p

@Ael I'd like to believe I'm a keeper ;)

kscherrer

@avazula but you are

hi there

avazula

oh hello!

kscherrer

Why did the bee get married?

avazula

Mhm.. I don't know

Mithical

...to go on a honeymoon

kscherrer

14:37

because he found his honey

avazula

hahaha

kscherrer

btw i married last month :))

avazula

both answers are great

@kscherrer I was about to ask you about that! Congratulations :)

Mithical

Congrats!

kscherrer

thx <3

Mithical

14:38

and yeah, long time no see

avazula

guess you found your honey hehehe (are you a bee though?)

Mithical

of course

a cashbee

avazula

oh, right

kscherrer

you still know my real name, wow :)

yeah i've been trying to avoid chatrooms a bit

Mithical

uuhhh... an elephant never forgets?

or something like that

kscherrer

14:41

i didnt' dare to say that

avazula

I still say "Dear Cash" to avoid naming god(s) sometimes haha

kscherrer

how are you both doing?

avazula

@kscherrer you too are troubled by these time-sucking spaces that seem to defy the laws of physics?

kscherrer

@avazula yes, I too watch american politics

avazula

haha

I'm good. I returned to TAS recently after moderating behind the scenes for a while and a two weeks vacation. Feels good to see everyone again. How have you been doing?

kscherrer

14:44

I tried reducing my timewaste during work. Turns out, I just find other things to make the time go brrr

avazula

Exactly! After my vacation I tried to cut all things that distract me... and failed miserably. Turns out my brain needs a lot of different inputs to produce its best work (?) Some people are like that apparently.

kscherrer

Well, Iv'e been a busy bee - a marriage doesn't plan itself. New games have come out that I love, and I am already planning another big event for a friend group

avazula

That sounds amazing!

kscherrer

I'm planning basically my own version of "Task Master", a great british panelshow. have you heard of it?

avazula

I started playing video games recently (I won't dare to say "again" because when I last played Steam wasn't even really a thing already). I still have a hard time with board games, but it's getting better

@kscherrer not at all! what's it about?

kscherrer

14:49

5 contestants (usually known comedians) have to solve many strange tasks while being filmed. Then later they get together and another guy judges their performances

avazula

oh wow

kscherrer

"Here are 3 jars of baby food (self-made). Find out the ingredients. most correct ingredients wins."

for example

1 extra point for the one who eats the most

Mithical

Google: "baby food ingredients <brand>"

kscherrer

google self-made

Mithical

ah, missed that

avazula

14:52

haha

sounds like fun

kscherrer

it promises a ton of fun, but organizing it will be arduous

i can recommend watching some episodes though, they're all on youtube, full episodes from the official taskmaster channel

i understand if you don't find the time. Just saying 😃 i watch 'em with my wife every evening, she loves it

avazula

I'll have a look!

It reminds me of a similar game, I think it was a TV show back in the 90s

lila

@kscherrer Hi welcome to the Awkward Silence.

kscherrer

@lila hi lila. Oh a new Mod? o/

lila

@kscherrer Haha yes, I was thinking I am probably the smallest moderator, but I once found a moderator with even smaller reputation of about 700. But yes, let me introduce myself: hi I am a smol moderator ^.^

kscherrer

15:06

or maybe it's me that hasn't been here for some time ¯_(ツ)_/¯

avazula

lila is a mod on Pets :)

kscherrer

ooh not on IPS? I forgot all mods are blue here.. sry

avazula

we haven't had any election this year yet

kscherrer

i mean, not sry, you are a mod after all

avazula

I'm blue, dabadee dabada ...

Journeyman Geek

15:09

Well maybe but some of us are old mods, just not in IPS :D

avazula

you're not old Geek you're experienced ;)

kscherrer

a superuser of life

Faded Giant

Who are you calling old?

kscherrer

avazula

Faded Giant

15:11

kscherrer

15:40

I'm on the run, have a great weekend!

avazula

@kscherrer you too! lots of good things for you and your wife, and hopefully see you around soon.
