@CooperCape C'mon. You're in UK :P So many good unis you have there :) Also you don't have to face crap competitive exams which determine which subject you'll get to study (rather than giving a choice). All the best though!

yeah the american university system confused me...

you have to continue with multiple subjects then filter down or something?

I don't know much about the American system. Can't say

They have to give SAT I guess

oh fair... sorry I just assume everyone's american as a good starting point.

Apparently UK has passed a law that basically shoots our internet privacy in the Head

this following intent to censor 'hardcore' porn from the internet entirely

Wtf is wrong with the UK government

(Starts rapidly going through internet history)

No use, it seems they allowed ISPs to keep logs

and for various people to read them if they so desired

I'm sure 99.9% of people won't have their stuff read but it's the principle that's gross

Rip. privacy

@Phase Tom Lehrer disapproves. NSFW, by the way.

Never heard of him but damn never heard a dude sing about stuff like that whilst being so happy

Tom Lehrer - The Irish Ballad - LIVE FILM From Copenhagen in 1967

Then you have heard nothing, clearly.

Tom Lehrer - So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III) - with intro - widescreen

The Irish ballad reminds me of another guy I listened to a while ago. Contemporary, but in this sort of folk ballad style

The source of the sublimest of satires of Tom Lehrer is in the morbidest (that a word m8?) of the human tragedies

with dark humour

12:24 PM

Indeed?

Yeah. Had a lot of other vibes in other songs though, and he seems to be a bit hit or miss

I'll link the closest song I can remember if you want

sure

Meh haven't listened in ages so can't remember the songs I'm thinking of, but here's a decent one imo albeit not quite the same vibe

hahah i like this

Nice!

I've just spent the last week listening to various Death grips / Death grips mashup songs

Some are... better than others

12:31 PM

death grips is a huge source of meme

It's great yeah. I hated them at first but Idk, the more I listened the more I grew to like them

I guess it's an acquired taste?

this is one of the.. Strangest

they're more amusing to me than interesting

me too

@Phase lol

cheap thrills, as they say

12:34 PM

This one's pretty nice to listen to imo

some shouldn't be made

Not ever

a bit "addictive" though...

I assume you haven't been able to avoid this tumour of a meme?

@Phase Rick Astley mashups are still the best

Hot Dad made a cover that'll warp your brain if you know the Lyrics to the original

Crash Bandicoot - Never Gonna Woah You Up

12:37 PM

Warp your brain

lol

As cute as crash is, I want that meme to die

@Phase HAH

THIS

this is too good

I Really, Really, Really Like This Image

Hot Dad is great

memes never die; they just multiply

12:40 PM

I'd normally say my favorite Rick Astley is Never Gonna Shoot Your Stars or the Big Smoke ft but that just made my brain die

@skullpatrol what about Harambe

True

@BalarkaSen did you just say BIG SMOKE

follow the damn train

@0celóñe7 Why did you delete it

what is this censorship of the truth

More woah cancer

@Phase it was flagged as rude and deleted.

12:43 PM

W h a t

Please remember to Be Nice.

Truth means nothing to Big Brother.

Mithrandir

Do you know what Harambe is

Yes.

oh ffs... please just nuke the whole meme conversation and get the room back on topic ...

12:44 PM

Hi @Mithrandir

hello, @skull

@Vogel612 This room doesn't really have a particular topic, despite being the general chat for physics.

Well, I don't see how what @0celóñe7 wrote contradicted the Be Nice page

Ask any arbitrary regular.

@BalarkaSen which is kinda the whole problem of this room?

12:45 PM

We meant no harm...

...it's kinda my fault.

@Vogel612 Uh, I don't see why that should be a problem, sounds like a logical jump of a conclusion to me.

@BalarkaSen if the room doesn't have a topic, it has no raison d'ètre

@Vogel612 I was under the impression that it's just a room for physics-minded people to talk

not necessarily about Physics

That's what I was told about Half a year ago

also ... there is a just fine topic, the problem is that apparently nobody can be arsed to keep the room at least roughly on it

I've been here for flags so often in the last few weeks and every single time the room has been completely derailed...

I think this meta-conversation about focussing on a topic from a non regular is more irrelevant to the room than a non-topic.

But that's just my opinion.

@JohnR: ARE YOU AROUND?!

I'm here!

Jesus, he descends from the sky for the call

user228700

I'm shouting because my laptop...I'm afraid something's happened to it. IT IS AN EMERGENCY, if there ever was one!

What's up?

user228700

@JohnRennie Oh, thank heavens. TELL ME WHAT TO DO, laptop man!

12:49 PM

Amazing @Phase

What's going wrong? What are the symptoms?

user228700

IT REFUSES TO SWITCH ON!! :'-(

Check the plug.

Anonymous

Charge it?

Am I watching IT crowd?

12:50 PM

Are you on the mains or the battery?

user228700

It's fully charged!

So you're on the battery?

user228700

When I switched it off this morning, it was perfectly alright! :-(

user228700

Fully charged too!

HOW COULD I FORGET THIS @BalarkaSen @0celóñe7

user228700

12:51 PM

@JohnRennie Yup.

Anonymous

Is it working via direct connection with the charger (w.o. the battery) ?

user228700

@Blue I checked and no.

So the laptop is off - all the lights are off - and when you press the power button nothing happens?

He can't answer @Phase

Wait why not

12:52 PM

@Phase Ah yeah Alex Jones is a worldwide meme. But he's bit of a dead meme in my opinion.

Don't tell me he got muted over the Harambe comment

30 min

@BalarkaSen -"I love Rick Astley"

@Kaumudi.H do you want to switch to gchat so we don't annoy everyone?

Also @BalarkaSen - "Alex jones is a dead meme"

user228700

12:52 PM

@JohnRennie Something does: the power button lights up and then there is a krrr sound. Then, all is still once more.

user228700

@JohnRennie Right, of course.

@Phase lool

well if you want something hot and fresh, check out jake paul

'fresh'

Did you guys notice how fast that comment got flagged?

FULL SONG: The Fall Of Jake Paul (Official Video) FEAT. Why Don't We

Dude you wanna see something savage?

12:54 PM

seen it

Did you see the second part..?

absolute cringe over this bro fight

yeah

The second part is borderline bullying

It's pretty mean

there's also a fantastic meme on that logan paul song

The message was flagged within 30 seconds :-/

12:56 PM

@BalarkaSen Nice

@skullpatrol yeah it's pretty weird considering i cant even see how it could be offensive

The word "killed" must of done it.

I mean... It's a gorilla..

That died how long ago..? Meh

let's not dwell on it

He's my pal, ok?

There's nothing wrong with that.

But discussing a suspension rarely makes for a productive conversation.

1:00 PM

@Mithrandir if people think something is unjust should they not express that? Could you please cite exactly what it is that was on the Be Nice page that he broke?

Seeing as it was linked

Then back off.

@skullpatrol no need to get edgy

meh this discussion is more trashy than my memes

the problem about this room is not an absence of a specific topic everyone 24/7 talks about, but it is the drama.

which being said, i'm off. i should have started working half an hour ago. later :P

cya, pal
