All my rep are belong to @Quill (/s/s/s/s don't ban me quill)

Quill

let's not rep inflate

arda

@Quill just joking around

Quill

In any case, rep is a bad indicator of experience

Meta posts are the one to look for

Killua

Yes and no. Comments are also important to consider.

arda

@Quill 300 rep for requirement to run for mod is a good example of that

Killua

05:01

They give no reputation and even if you're not starting the conversations, participating in them can be just as important.

arda

@Killua and for some candidates activity on other SEs

Killua

Yup.

arda

like me! me pro much vote for me

Taisho

Torisuda

At least in our election, if we had someone like that and all the other candidates got hit by a bus, we'd still have @Taisho to fall back on.

arda

05:03

OOOOOOOH

Killua

@Taisho for mod 2016.

arda

I FINALLY FIGURED HOW TO MAKE TILDES ON AMERICAN QWERTY

Hakase

arda

as I said before, I'd vote for taisho

26 mins ago, by arda

@Quill I want to see Memor-X, Hakase, Quill, ton.yeung, Frosteeze and Torisuda running. and that @Taisho guy. He is popular.

@Hakase is that sakura?

Quill

05:05

Does Taisho even have enough rep to run for mod?

Killua

@arda Nope.

arda

@Quill taisho doesn't have an anime.se account

Killua

Though I'm not sure what it is. Holy redness.

Torisuda

Taisho transcends such earthly requirements as rep or an account. He is the our eternal bot mod overlord.

arda

@HoiHoi-san best ~~girl~~ bot!!!

Jokes aside, I like this torisuda guy

Torisuda

05:07

Since we have so few candidates (I think we have more confirmed non-candidates than candidates at this point), we'll pad the ticket with Taisho and Hoi-hoi san.

arda

how come I never saw any of your answers

Darjeeling

with Taisho as mod he will flood our meta site with pictures

Quill

For a single candidate position, three is enough nominations

Torisuda

@arda Probably because I stay totally out of the most popular tags (Naruto, One Piece, etc.)

arda

@Torisuda I don't watch mainstream

bad news people - hoihoi can't run neither :(

Torisuda

05:09

Guess our paths just never crossed. Weird to think about, since Anime is such a small site.

arda

@Torisuda I actually found someone I commented on a question of IRL

he was organizing an event (on mobile development) that I attended

Torisuda

Interesting! I've never met anyone IRL who was active on SE at all, let alone active on Anime.

arda

I met 3 actually. One was that, one was on gaming.se, again on that event, third is another young dev in Ankara.

Quill

@arda happened to me at work on SO all the time

arda

@Quill I can't imagine jon skeet

Hakase

05:12

@Quill I can imagine a bunch of noob coders :p

Torisuda

I wanted to gain more rep on SO, but it seems like all the good questions have been asked and answered and all the bad questions are incomprehensible.

Maybe I'll invent a programming language so I can answer SO questions about it and gain rep.

arda

I should write a script that adds code to itself by searching on stackoverflow

Torisuda

Like xkcd's Stack Overflow sort?

arda

what's that?

Hakase

just make a shitty app and answer everyone's questions about how to make it work

Torisuda

05:15

@arda Maybe I hallucinated it. The idea was to write a program that sorts by downloading random code snippets from SO and running them on your input until the input is sorted.

arda

@Hakase I can't say I didn't consider that for gaming.se, lol

Torisuda

@Hakase It did work pretty well for whoever invented Wordpress.

They got a whole SE site.

Hakase

ye

@arda make a popular but broken game then

arda

and vim

and salesforce

@Hakase I'll make Digimon GO then.

Torisuda

Digimon actually would've made more sense for location-based if they'd followed the anime, since the Digital World had pieces of the real world in it.

Taisho

05:18

Torisuda

@arda Check out the alt text of this comic: xkcd.com/1185. It describes stacksort.

Hakase

@arda you can make digimon go and implement all the missing features of pokego

it would definitely steal all the thunder

I wonder why nobody is doing that already

arda

@Torisuda What if you could walk using that thing like in pokemon go hacks, and it used google maps 3d images to HOLY CRAP bbl

Torisuda

I haven't played Pokemon Go but the week it came out everyone in my office was wandering around with their heads in their phones even more than usual.

Nah, I guess it's not. It'd just be fighting.

Hakase

from the games I definitely remember it

Torisuda

05:21

I only watched the anime, but I guess the games would be boring if you were stuck with one digimon the whole time.

arda

Bootleg companies are already on top of this Pokemon Go thing: https://imgur.com/a/JLWad

Tweeted by ardaozkal on August 22, 2016 at 9:52 PM

Hakase

well, ash is stuck with pikachu the whole time so idk

Torisuda

True, but he seems to dump his whole roster except for Pikachu whenever he switches regions.

arda

god damn I look so red in that picture

Hakase

shop it

Torisuda

05:23

In Digimon they were like, life partners or soul mates or something, so they were monogamously stuck together forever.

Hakase

hmm I don't remember that aspect, but I didn't watch any of the anime

from the games I remember it was pretty personal

pokemon gave off a different vibe

arda

@Hakase my hair etc have changed a lot. I might just get a new pic

Hakase

@ton.yeung I think I remember some digimon in the game saying it sucks for people coz they grow old and die, and digimons get to live forever

there was a whole area similar to that ghost tower in the first gen

Torisuda

Or ages at all, apparently.

Shocking twist: Ash is actually a Pokemon.

arda

@ton.yeung or a crystal gem

Torisuda

05:26

So, anybody following current anime this season?

Hakase

I'm only watching re-zero but that started last season

Torisuda

I forced myself to start watching it again. I've been following Amanchu, New Game, and Sweetness and Lightning this season.

arda

@ton.yeung same

I want to catch up to re:zero tho

I have soooo much to do rn

Torisuda

Ah, I get that. I just went through a patch like that. Things finally calmed down a little so I started watching again.

Plus, iyashikei is a nice break from reality.

arda

1 translation, 2 games, 1 app. I have IRL stuff to do too, plus I'm having depressed days for about a year now and I should think about stuff.

Hakase

05:33

@arda dude start dealing with that depression stuff

arda

The last one is starting to cause an eating disorder which is bad so I hope to get that better soon, but it seems unlikely as it is quite major.

Hakase

well I'm on pills now for eating improperly so consider that

idk how it's called in english

gallbladder stuff

first it was some heartburn for quite some time and then my gallbladder started aching

arda

@Hakase its not easy. The problem is deep, serious and genuine.

Hakase

doc sent me to check it out and it's not looking proper

so I'm on a month of pills to help it work better

@arda yea that's what I'm saying, start dealing with it now

or you could have a bunch of smaller problems that would seem even bigger in combination

no pressure :P

no, just increased size and reduced throughput of that acid stuff

Taisho

Hakase

05:38

basically I've been eating bad sweet and fat stuff like cookies and jams

arda

I should see a psychologist or whatever, but I'm not sure how they'll see my problems and what steps they'll take to fix

Hakase

I've switched to better sweets for now

from cakes, only biscuit type and low on fat cream

0.5% milk

yea I remember you talking about tha

arda

depending on how they see the issue, the steps might be much more damaging to me

Hakase

no the milk is alright, I eat it with cereal

Torisuda

@arda A good psychologist will probably just hear you out first and see if they can turn around your thought patterns.

Hakase

05:41

@arda if you have that option, take it, but not the pills guy, the mind guy

Torisuda

A psychiatrist will hear you out the door with a prescription for Xanax in your hand.

Hakase

most people don't want to fix their way of thinking and living so the pills are the best course of action for them, but you can't be like that at such a young age

arda

@ton.yeung if they give me any other pills than xanax, I'll just stop going tbh

Hakase

definitely mention that, they might have something to say about it that will change your mind, or take a different approach

my personal advice though is to try to get away from the places which get you into a shitty state of mind

take long walks, code around in cafes, etc

if you're not feeling good at home, it's a great help

maybe switch jobs if yours makes you feel miserable

arda

@arda 16

arda

@Hakase its more of me feeling lonely

Hakase

we're here for you man

Torisuda

@arda I was in middle school the year you were born. God, that makes me feel old.

Hakase

I remember feeling pretty shitty in my teens about some stuff, which I've found how to resolve after a few months of searching and thinking

@ton you mentioned grinding teeth I think, if you also have heartburn, it might be something similar to my condition

when I was at the doc he asked about the symptoms and said that was one of those

arda

@Hakase I know. Stuff on SE and online really helped me get through my seriously suicidal days which is awesome

Hakase

05:48

damn man get checked soon

Torisuda

@ton.yeung I'm mentally young, or rather, immature.

Hakase

it could totally be food

arda

I want someone to talk about IRL tbh

@ton.yeung how are you so sure?

Hakase

I can't quite explain it but there are a lot of sweets, cookies, buns and candy bars that make me feel bad, and there are very rare ones that don't, which is nice

arda

tbh, I had serious anger issues about 4-5 years ago, that is the last time I seriously-nonseriously considered harming someone else

Hakase

05:51

it's probably a combination coz jams make me feel bad too

I think I will

Torisuda

Agave syrup is supposed to be pretty good too.

Might be hard to find.

arda

I started caring more about people than myself after that, and stuff went downhill for me

Hakase

yea no chance to find that here :p

Torisuda

I live in California, where we get all kinds of weird South American hippie foods.

Hakase

@arda you gotta figure out your thoughts man

I'm sure it's not that difficult to do, but maybe not if you're doing it alone

if you can find a good friend who you can open up to, that'd be best, but if not, the mind guy is your best next bet

oh yea that book should be pretty cool too, I remember reading it back then

arda

05:54

@ton.yeung haha nope

@Hakase I know who I am, what I want, what I like, however people doesn't like that, and that is the problem on my end.

Hakase

Tosh linked John Blow's pax talk from 2014 and there he talks how he's gotta be on top of his mental state every day or else his productivity drops and he can't keep working and everything is bad

that stuff spoke to me on a personal level

arda

nope as on "nope, I'm seriously lonely"

john blow there also says he feels quite lonely in his own views and tastes, it's the same thing as we're talking about here I'd wager

arda

@Hakase with whom? even my family?

Hakase

yea man

Torisuda

05:57

Time for bed. Good chatting with everyone! @arda I don't have any advice to give, but I hope you can find a way to turn things around.

Hakase
