7:00 PM
if I were driving around and someone jumps out in front of me and he dies, I'm going to jail
 
@GeorgePompidou jaywalking is not a crime, either.
 
it is 'legally wrong'
in some way. I did once get a ticket for it.
in a very pompous suburb of Chicago.
 
It's a misdemeanor, not a felony. Don't be too proud, you rebel.
 
weird how nothing came of me not paying that…
 
Are you at U of Chicago?
 
7:01 PM
@GeorgePompidou Are you an undergrad?
 
@JasperLoy no, he is stalingrad.
 
yeah. at U of Mind your own busineskovich.
 
Actually I think it's not even a misdemeanor, just a summary offence.
But I can't be arsed to look it up.
Instead I shall go take a cookie.
 
arses you just for fun ;)
2
gah. I need an upvote. someone upvote my 24 answer.
I shouldn't've have read those achievements and stuff. now I want them.
 
Badges?
We don't need no stinking badges.
 
7:05 PM
@GeorgePompidou Sorry, I was away enjoying a cookie, so couldn't enjoy your arse.
Please arse on, you're my favorite arsonist.
 
📰
 
By the way, I just read some Belgian medical article where people were actually advised by this doctor using the word aars.
 
😄
 
@Cerberus relax, that's just Dutch for ears.
 
Hah, no.
 
7:07 PM
This Sat is my country's birthday. 7 days after that is Debian's birthday. 7 days after that is my birthday.
 
Congrats!
 
@Cerberus sorry, did I say Dutch? I meant French.
 
How old is she?
 
Belgium is confusing.
5
 
French with two a's?
 
7:08 PM
@Cerberus 49.
 
Before that, it was part of British Malaysia or something?
 
@Cerberus Malaysia. The British left before that.
@Cerberus How is your dating? I imagine you are getting married soon.
 
@Cerberus lolwut, there's a country called British Malaria? Is it right next to Uaregay?
 
@RegDwigнt arses you with much gusto
 
@JasperLoy Ah OK.
@JasperLoy You always think that, so what's new!
 
7:10 PM
@Cerberus I am hoping to marry someone about 30 when I am about 40.
 
@GeorgePompidou I'm still not looking it up, though. You will have to arse harder.
 
@RegDwigнt Um. Yes.
 
looking what up?
I'm just arsing you because it's enjoyable
 
@JasperLoy OK good luck.
 
7 mins ago, by RegDwigнt
But I can't be arsed to look it up.
I have no idea. It.
 
7:11 PM
oh, I don't want you to look it up.
 
I know it just fine. arses you harder
 
Currently I am targeting to solve my mental problems by the end of next year.
 
All clowns are scary.
@JasperLoy One down, one to go! You shall succeed.
 
@JasperLoy of course you're doing it currently. Would make little sense to do it after the end of next year.
 
7:13 PM
SE makes me feel in touch with the rest of the world.
This is the only place I get to talk with people from other places.
 
Not even in the Marina Bay?
 
I only see them there. No talking is done.
 
I bet you could talk to a rich lonely lady from Bohemia there.
 
That day I saw four very good looking people there, two male, two female. I felt I was in heaven.
 
Hm. I don't think people get to heaven based on the looks.
 
7:16 PM
Maybe in Germany, everyone looks like an angel.
 
extraneous comma.
 
Nowhere at all does everyone look like an angel.
 
@JasperLoy That’s because they all wear these there.
 
I will try not delete my account anymore.
 
Good
Try hard.
 
7:18 PM
@JasperLoy You might be more successful if instead of trying not to delete it, you didn’t try to delete it.
 
ugh. this center of the universe question is the thing which is the thing which is bothering me a lot right now.
ignores it and goes to the next one
 
What question?
 
doesn't actually do that and just complains instead
 
Newsflash: you are not the centre of the universe.
 
@tchrist I think you mean these:
 
7:19 PM
Hermes, but not Hermès.
 
GUYS IS THERE ANOTHER WORD FOR AND? I NEED TO SAY A LIST OF TWO THINGS AND USE SOME KIND OF CONJUNCTION BETWEEN THEM, LIKE "APPLES ___ BANANAS" BUT I NEED A GOOD WORD FOR THAT
~every other person who posts on here
 
@Cerberus Better than herpes at any rate.
 
Indeed.
 
The anal stage is the second stage in Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychosexual development, lasting from age 18 months to three years. According to Freud, the anus is the primary erogenous zone and pleasure is derived from controlling bladder and bowel movement. The major conflict issue during this stage is toilet training. A fixation at this stage can result in a personality that is too rigid or one that is too disordered. According to Freud’s theory, personality developed through a series of stages throughout childhood. These stages are focused on erogenous areas. Freud believed in the libido,...
 
@GeorgePompidou plus
 
7:20 PM
@tchrist Very scientific.
 
@GeorgePompidou you only say that because you don't see the stuff we delete.
Every other person actually posts something way more inane.
 
haha. I can only imagine.
 
> The anal stage is the second stage in Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual development
 
@tchrist I've said somewhere that I am going through my terrible twos really late. so I guess you're sort of right.
 
Wikipedia now has articles on sexual development of individual dead Austrians.
 
7:21 PM
@GeorgePompidou oc
 
orange county?
 
Norange county.
That would be NC.
 
Sporange county
 
That metanalysis never happened. Except perhaps on Will Smith's favorite show.
 
I've always referred to asparagus as sporange. I've no idea why. I think I made up the word at a younger age.
pronounced the way the French would say orange but with a sp in front.
 
7:23 PM
Eating a sporange
while making love
makes for bizarre enj-
oyment thereof.
 
I did, after all, speak French before I could speak English.
@GeorgePompidou I'm seeking a better phrase/term, any suggestions? — Wilbur 2 mins ago
this guy is mocking me.
can a moderator shoot him in the face with a rifle please?
 
Mocking a cheese-eating surrender monkey? How dare he.
 
@GeorgePompidou Oc is the ME spelling of the conjunction that in OE was spelled ac, and which was cognate with Old Saxon ac, Gothic ak, and Old High German oh. You are now more likely to spell it anally.
 
I spell many things anally.
I in fact spell them monthly, even daily.
also, it's spelled "anually"
oh christ
annually. that's embarrassing.
 
That's spelled embarasing.
 
7:26 PM
@GeorgePompidou Ano
 
Kono. Sono.
 
now that mentalist guy who tried to kill me before answered with something that isn't at all an answer to the question!
 
I wonder why people say the Buddha but not the Christ.
 
I'm beyond frustrated right now.
 
@tchrist Is it related to Latin ac?
Greek kai?
Dutch ook?
German auch?
 
7:27 PM
Artist's impression of @GeorgePompidou:
 
@Cerberus Ook! You have ook!!!
 
Indeed we do.
An extremely common word.
 
@RegDwigнt I think you showed me that video years ago.
 
@RegDwigнt Haha the best video.
 
@Cerberus But.
 
7:28 PM
@JasperLoy not necessarily this exact one, there are like twenty different ones.
 
simchona has vanished for more than 2 months.
 
@tchrist What? It is related to but?
 
@Cerberus sadly they cut out the actual cigarette advertising.
 
@RegDwigнt I try to convey that with my angry hippo.
 
What is this, Stasitube?
 
7:29 PM
Latin ac means "and, just as".
 
Hence, AC/DC.
 
Still, I don’t know whether MHG ac gave rise to the G auch of today. I was grimly absent from little philologists class that day.
 
Short for "Just as Washington".
 
@Cerberus It meant what but means in English today. Supposibly.
 
I wonder if Josh61 is 61 or born in 1961.
 
7:30 PM
@GeorgePompidou that is angry? I think you incidentally looked up bored instead.
 
@RegDwigнt Ooo I didn't know it was for cigarettes.
 
he's not very bright in any case. just pastes in dictionary answers that are wrong.
 
@Cerberus helloooe? HB-Männchen?
 
@JasperLoy You don’t know the difference between 61 and 53?
 
@tchrist Oh, I see.
 
7:31 PM
how does he get away with that? all of his answers are copy pasta
 
HB, is a German cigarette brand whose initials stand for 'Haus Bergmann'. == General information == HB cigarettes belong to the ten top-selling brands in Germany with a market share of 3,5%. From 1959 - 1984, HB was the market leader among the German brands, 1975 even the market leader in entire Europe. Today, HB cigarettes are no longer advertised. == History and "HB-Männchen" == In the sixties and early seventies this firm produced several TV-spots with a comic figure, that is known in Germany as "HB-Männchen". With simplest tasks the character started it always ended in disaster. A voice said...
 
OK.
 
@GeorgePompidou Shh, you’ll get ML on your tail.
 
HB, is a brand. I, can write English. My punctuation, is awesome.
 
7:32 PM
who is ML?
 
@JasperLoy We are still not sure how many times he has returned in the mean time.
 
Will anyone care?
 
@GeorgePompidou Mona Lisa.
 
ah, right. don't want her around.
 
Once you attract a couple of those, they start attracting mad hatters in turn. And then sons of bankers and sons of lawyers.
 
7:33 PM
oh no!
hides behind Reg
 
Oh yes.
 
whimpers
 
They know not if it's dark outside or light.
 
Whimp!
💀😄💀
 
Now you know that rose trees never grow in NYC!
 
7:36 PM
I am on a mission to civilize this copy paster all by myself.
downvote frenzy
 
Maria is in NYC! The very first Maria, I mean.
 
What the what am I looking at.
 
oh Jesus Christiansen, this guy's top answer is a 72 point dictionary paste!
 
@RegDwigнt Pieces from The Awful Green Things from Outer Space, by Tom Wham.
 
7:37 PM
And why do two of them have the same atomic weight?
 
throws the biggest fit in EL&U history
 
@GeorgePompidou Welcome to SE!
 
why is he allowed to do this?
 
> In an effort to block Japanese troops before they reached the strategically important city of Wuhan, nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek ordered his forces to blow up a key dike on the Yellow River, knowing full well that it would flood a huge portion of central China. (Chinese generals had been using similar strategies since the 12th century.)

According to official Chinese estimates, more than 800,000 Chinese civilians were killed in the resulting flooding and millions more were forced to flee. The Japanese suffered only minor casualties and took Wuhan three months later.
 
@GeorgePompidou because you're bitching about it rather than letting us fix it.
 
7:38 PM
The Awful Green Things from Outer Space (AGTFOS) is a two-player board game developed and illustrated by Tom Wham inspired by the Kinji Fukasaku motion picture, The Green Slime. It originally appeared as an insert in Dragon magazine #28 (1979), and subsequently as a boxed game published by TSR in 1980. The rights to the game were subsequently acquired by Steve Jackson Games, which resumed publication after the game had been out of print for some years. The game has gone through a number of revisions over the years, and both full-sized and smaller Pocket Box editions exist. == Theme == The spaceship...
 
Looks like a fun game.
 
One-boxing >8(
 
’Tis.
Sobriety is not required.
 
@RegDwigнt sorry lowers head
 
Especially with all the Zqwortz around.
 
7:39 PM
Aug 1 at 13:43, by RegDwigнt
Link or it didn't happen.
 
link the guy who threatened me's copy paste answers?
 
I think there should be an auto removal of modship for mods who have not logged in for X months.
 
What is x?
 
@GeorgePompidou link to anything 72-point.
I've yet to see anything of that size.
 
7:41 PM
Zgwortz is Jiddische Bier.
 
Oh, 72 point as in upvotes...
 
what else can I mean by points?
 
There was I hoping for something I would need no glasses for.
 
Wow, wadda dumpster!
 
7:42 PM
@GeorgePompidou @tchrist please educate him kthx.
 
also, most of his answers are not answers to the question. they're just a random dictionary paste.
 
@RegDwigнt ENOSPACE
 
@GeorgePompidou that is not a dictionary paste. That is an SWR.
 
@GeorgePompidou No targeting allowed.
 
He has to come up with the word all by himself. Then he needs to include some useless filler, like a dictionary definition, to work around the 60-char limit.
The upvotes are completely orthogonal to any of that, this one just happened to get multicollidered.
 
7:43 PM
Very weary of Single White Rascals.
 
in one situation, I worked hard to post an answer, and he posted a dictionary paste with a useless Ngram link that was clearly just to post an Ngram link. then he downvotes me and yells at me!
 
This time, I returned because I feel lonely...
 
in this latest situation, he posts a dictionary definition of something that doesn't answer the question at all
 
@GeorgePompidou If you were looking for justice, then you’ve come to the wrong place.
 
I'm going to track him down and bring him to justice in the real word, then.
 
7:44 PM
@GeorgePompidou that one instance has been noted. You should move on.
 
yes but not others.
meh meh meh
lowers head and moves along
 
Well you do not speak of no others. You keep warming up that one thing.
Where you don't even know who downvoted you.
Perhaps it was me.
 
no, look at this stupid question.
and stupid answer which doesn't answer the question.
 
You have a better one, post it.
 
@GeorgePompidou Yes, it does. Just not well, nor correctly.
 
7:46 PM
Failing that, his is as good as any other.
 
Why are you so obsessed with SWRs in the first place?
 
I don't know what SWR means
 
SWR give a lot of rep.
 
Single-word requests.
 
7:46 PM
@GeorgePompidou Quality and correctness are something completely different from NARA.
 
oh. I'm not, I'm obsessed with justice
 
@JasperLoy obsessed as in not answering. Obsessed as in watching the train wrecks.
Anyway, you are specifically looking at questions that require single-word answers with a useless dictionary quote.
You can go look at, oh I dunno, instead.
 
no, I'm looking at most questions on which I can click. I just get angry about ones that are bad and have bad answers.
in particular when someone gets away with lots of that.
 
7:49 PM
@GeorgePompidou everyone's top answer on this site is a SWR.
 
@tchrist exactly. what Tom said.
 
@GeorgePompidou There is no someone. There is anyone.
And everyone.
 
my top answer isn't.
 
@GeorgePompidou see, that's the other problem.
 
my top answer is about to have 25 points is proud of himself and blushes
 
7:50 PM
@GeorgePompidou it's your top answer for the exact same reason, though.
Random passersby from other sites.
 
@RegDwigнt Sauf moi.
 
@tchrist you're just slow. Wait for it. It will happen.
 
all I'm trying to say is I put some effort when I answer some questions.
and some people get away with no effort on many questions.
and since I am a child.
I am pissed.
 
@GeorgePompidou everyone puts some effort when they answer some questions. And then they put in no effort at all and that's when they luck out.
 
like the Republicans.
 
7:52 PM
@RegDwigнt so true
 
@RegDwigнt Spect so.

Q: Reconsidering the single word request

KitFoxIn light of the recent launch of our sister site, English Language Learners, I would like to propose that this site no longer accept questions of the "What is another word or phrase for...?" Single word requests have long been contentious here. They tend to be uninteresting one-offs and rep-fee...

 
Luck never made a man wise.
 
@tchrist precisely. I was in the middle of typing that.
 
I think if anything, they should disallow the format: "Which of these sentences are correct: 1. 2. 3. 4."
because that's clearly for ELL.
 
Then there’re all those related Shoggoth quips.
 
7:55 PM
Either Kit will outlaw them, then it's a moot point, or she won't, in which case it's fair game.
 
and it's like ten trillion of them.
 
@GeorgePompidou They never, ever, ever ask that.
 
Yeah actually if they put them in that format they have done a half decent job.
 
you know what I mean. >: [
 
> Which one of these is correct: 1. 2. 3.
 
7:56 PM
They have a clear list of clear alternatives, which are easy to refer to, and they usually comment which ones they like and why.
 
"Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad correct: 1. 2. 3."
if you want an exact quote.
 
@GeorgePompidou You really do need to islamocensor that, you know.
 
He didn't draw a picture!
 
yeah, I'm fine.
 
Non credo.
 
7:57 PM

Q: Simple word for "Convert data strings to bytes"

joeI'm searching for a short term of "Convert data to bytes". It has to be a verb, because it should tell that it's a operation. I thought of something like "byteify" - but that looks ugly to me... The conversion I'm talking about is, for example, from a 32 bit floating point value like 567.89, or ...

 
Here, have mine.
 
reopen?
 
I think I will go eat something now.
 
@RegDwigнt That’s crotch-spray, right?
 
7:58 PM
@tchrist ein Deo.
 
@JasperLoy enjoy!
 
@JasperLoy Say hello for me.
 
Who else do you credo in if not Deo?
 
Color me méfiant.
 
I think KitLaw needs to outfox that format and I am done complaining.
 
7:59 PM
@MattЭллен yeah okay I done it.
 
But not prevaricating.
 
@RegDwigнt niiice
 
I am not cleaning up the comments, though.
