It's like people are messing with me for fun today. I look for how to change my address on my driver's license. The article says the link to do it online is in the How to section. The How to section says you can't do it online.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist madness.

Matt Эллен

@KitFox ooooo. nasty

KitFox

It was. It isn't now because it was stupid.

tchrist

It made sense at the time.

So to speak. :)

Matt Эллен

commute

If you have two sets of hours on the clock that run from 1 to 12, you don’t swap around their am/pm sets.

1 to 12 noon is the AM ones, and 1 to 12 midnight is the PM ones.

At least, that’s how it was done.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

The government should just mandate that all TV stations must announce TV-show times in 24 hour format. Within weeks the entire US would be using 24 hour time all the time.

tchrist

Yeah sure.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Then we can do away with this whole "am/pm" nonsense, as if clocks are based on the sun anymore.

tchrist

Nothing but nothing gets the entire US to be doing the same thing all the time.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist I dunno. Fuck with their TV show times and you'll get a reaction :)

tchrist

16:03

That’s the old broadcast system, which is dying I hear.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

well, even on cable, you need to know when something is on if you want to watch it. Not everyone has Tivo

Anyway, speaking of meridiems, it is now the culturally appropriate time for me to get lunch. cya.

GnomeSlice

16:20

This room is so pretty

user87637

Hiya @KitFox I am back!

KitFox

Welcome home, Jasper.

user87637

@KitFox Have you watched that movie?

KitFox

Not yet. Too busy getting ready to move.

GnomeSlice

@KitFox Was I overreacting in the gaming room

user87637

16:22

I think I am going to watch "Never say never" and "Spring Breakers" next...

GnomeSlice

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds I saw the first like 3 minutes of Spring Breakers and it was amazing.

KitFox

@GnomeSlice Haters gonna hate.

user87637

@GnomeSlice Haha, yeah, I know what is amazing. =) It's the boobs...

GnomeSlice

Yeah

KitFox

Mmm, boobs.

GnomeSlice

16:23

Hang on a sec.

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds @KitFox Spring Breakers intro Anyone else, don't go complaining if you get offended by what you find when snooping. (This last part added by KitFox, so don't blame me, I had no part in it.)

KitFox

I watched an episode of Charmed last night with a lot of glistening boobs and a writhing Alyssa Milano.

user87637

@KitFox The boobs in Spring Breakers are unclothed...

user87637

@GnomeSlice You look cute in that pic!

GnomeSlice

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds Which?

user87637

@GnomeSlice The one you posted a couple of days ago?

GnomeSlice

16:24

Oh. Thanks? =P

KitFox

omg ponies!

But still. Glad I never participated in Spring Break.

user87637

My favourite movie now is still The Covenant. Laura Ramsey and Steven Strait are so so so hot.

GnomeSlice

I want to know who the first topless girl in that Spring Breakers intro is.

KitFox

Because...?

user87637

So he can look up more of her pics? LOL

GnomeSlice

16:29

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds Pretty much.

I don't suppose either of you know huh

user87637

@GnomeSlice Enjoy your youth, mine is gone forever!

KitFox

Boobs like that you can find anywhere.

GnomeSlice

Yeah, I know, but still.

user87637

@GnomeSlice I know that feeling!

GnomeSlice

=P

user87637

16:32

Clothed boobs are hotter than unclothed ones for me these days, lol.

GnomeSlice

depends on the context for me

user87637

@GnomeSlice Well, when I saw your pic, I immediately thought of Justin Bieber, haha.

Robusto

GnomeSlice

Yeah, I get that sometimes. The girl I was interested in in College was really into Justin Bieber and I think it's why she was interested back.

Robusto

World history in a nutshell.

GnomeSlice

16:37

But I don't really want to talk about that.

Robusto

Man, I fucking knew someone would tween me.

user87637

@Robusto Looks like abstract art when not zoomed in.

GnomeSlice

oops

KitFox

@Robusto Is that from the History of the World?

Robusto

Click dem link.

KitFox

16:37

Oh.

user87637

@GnomeSlice JB has changed too much, I prefer him before he changed...

MετάEd

@Robusto Interesting. How does Rand McNally measure "relative power"?

Robusto

1 min ago, by Robusto

Click dem link.

MετάEd

@tchrist What you do is change to PM at noon. By the time your eyes notice the change it will in fact be PM.

tchrist

@KitFox Well, it has the advantage that you run from 1 o’clock AM through 12 o’clock AM followed then by 1 o’clock PM through 12 o’clock PM. This new sequence where each set goes from 12 o’clock through 11 o’clock is kinda funky. Being able to go from 1–12 makes more sense than going from 12–11, don’t you think?

user87637

16:39

Not that there is anything wrong, but tattoos and toplessness in a concert? Not the JB that I knew.

Robusto

I make no warranties for accuracy, relevancy, or interest.

KitFox

The Histomap of Evolution is really funny.

user87637

For me, the history of the universe is a series of expansions and contractions, big bang after big bang.

MετάEd

@KitFox The Histomap of Evolution is porn. Just look at it.

KitFox

@tchrist No, it goes from 12:01 am to 12:00am and 12:01pm to 12:00pm

user87637

16:41

Interestingly, the physicists know not whether the universe will go on expanding forever or whether it will contract.

tchrist

@KitFox No no no. Just consider the whole hours.

GnomeSlice

boobs

tchrist

1 to 12 and 1 to 12.

KitFox

@tchrist I am. 12 to 12 and 12 to 12.

tchrist

You can’t count them both.

That’s way too many for one day.

KitFox

16:42

They do count them both.

Because they end on 12.

tchrist

This is the problem.

KitFox

Right.

It is a problem.

user87637

@GnomeSlice Where does boobs come in?

GnomeSlice

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds what? boobs

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds everywhere

user87637

@GnomeSlice OMG! By the way, do you wear glasses? Your avatar suggests you do.

KitFox

16:44

►

GnomeSlice

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds I have glasses, but I haven't worn them in a long time.

My eyesight is only slightly bad.

user87637

@GnomeSlice Ah. I wear mine only when I go out.

GnomeSlice

@KitFox What a beautiful man.

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds I only wear mine when I want to impress the ladies.

KitFox

I know, right?

user87637

@GnomeSlice Nah, the only beautiful man is JB!

KitFox

16:45

I get lots of beautiful ladies when I'm sporting specs.

user87637

@GnomeSlice Won't they be more impressed if you had no glasses?

GnomeSlice

Apparently they make me look smart.

user87637

But girls are not attracted to smart boys right?

tchrist

WTF?

GnomeSlice

Aw come on guys

I guess I could have put a nsfw tag on the link

But still

KitFox

16:46

What? I miss something?

tchrist

Flag.

GnomeSlice

Somebody flagged my spring breakers intro link

Because tits

tchrist

Stupid.

user87637

Nvm, small matter.

tchrist

Tits are not offensive.

Well, not usually.

KitFox

16:47

It wasn't marked for them.

GnomeSlice

I guess I should have put NSFW on it

user87637

We need to all compromise.

KitFox

You addressed it to us. Not up to somebody else to say it's offensive, snooping in our links.

GnomeSlice

Boy, that's not how it works on the gaming chat.

Maybe they just don't like me though.

KitFox

Here, I'll edit the link.

GnomeSlice

16:48

Please do

nsfw contains wet breasts

tchrist

Wet Female Breasts.

GnomeSlice

Wet Bouncy Female Breasts.

user87637

If I ruled the world, everyone can walk naked on the planet...

tchrist

Isn’t there an emoji for that?

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds Everyone can, silly youth.

user87637

@tchrist Yes, and then go to prison. =)

tchrist

16:49

Hm, I was wrong.

KitFox

@Gnoma 'sok, what I wrote for you?

tchrist

There are bared male titties too.

@KitFox That’s good.

Blind leading the blind:

-1

Q: "Since" or "from"?

I am staying in USA since 20 years. I am staying in USA from 20 years. Which one is correct?

sentence

user87637

I miss all the flags because of my low rep, hahaha.

GnomeSlice

Oh. Uh. Yeah that's okay I guess.

tchrist

Maybe it should take a walk on the ELL side.

GnomeSlice

16:52

Seems kind of confrontational.

user87637

@GnomeSlice Chill!

tchrist

@GnomeSlice There’s a lot of frontage there. And con.

GnomeSlice

Are we talking about the same thing?

tchrist

If you combine frontage avec con, of course the result is confrontational.

user87637

@GnomeSlice See the subtitle of this room? =)

GnomeSlice

16:53

Oh, that clears it up, thanks.

ಥ_ಥ

tchrist

Oui

KitFox

@tchrist Duplicate, people, duplicate.

tchrist

Oh!

user87637

It seems Barrie has taken a break from the site.

user87637

I expected him to reach 100k by now but he is only at 80k...

tchrist

16:55

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds That’s the wrong tense.

GnomeSlice

I don't even have 10k rep on my home site yet...

Coming up on three years.

user87637

Maybe he went for a holiday!

KitFox

@GnomeSlice Only in the sense that I made you out to be like a vulpine moderatrix.

GnomeSlice

@KitFox ...Is that good?

user87637

I went out with my friend today.

tchrist

16:56

Did you make out well by it? Sure.

user87637

We saw lots of beautiful ladies, surprisingly.

user87637

They usually appear when we are not looking out for them...

GnomeSlice

Every lady is beautiful.

romance

KitFox

@GnomeSlice I don't judge based on those characteristics.

GnomeSlice

Heh

KitFox

16:57

Oh, speaking of which. I should put my avatar back on.

brb

user87637

@GnomeSlice Are you a hopeless romantic?

GnomeSlice

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds I am a desperate 21 year old. So yeah I guess.

Hi @Ullallulloo.

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice 'sup?

GnomeSlice

@Ullallulloo Why're you here?

user87637

@GnomeSlice Desperate? You did not end up with that girl you mentioned?

GnomeSlice

16:59

Also nuttin

Ullallulloo

@GnomeSlice idk, it was mentioned in the Bridge.

GnomeSlice

@AlgebraAnalysisManifolds No. And I don't really feel like getting into that right now.

@Ullallulloo Really? When?
