Cerberus

14:00

I prefer non-vulgarity myself to a rather large extent in real life as well, at least compared to my friends.

Miss

ahhh

Alenanno

@Boob No no I didn't mean that... but you reminded me the movie that @RegDwight mentioned

RegDwight

@Cerberus Well, that says more about your friends than about yourself.

Robusto

:992274: And here I thought you were thoroughly familiar with the Vulgate.

Miss

@boob: i guess you should change your display name

RegDwight

14:00

That's a toothpaste.

Cerberus

@RegDwight Ouch! Well you cannot accuse me of vulgarity...

Boob

@Miss I don't care what you guess, but It's not good as opposed to miss?

Alenanno

@Robusto are you aware that your nickname is an italian word, by the way? :D

Cerberus

@Rob: Fix your reply arrow?

RegDwight

@Cerberus Precisely. :P

Robusto

14:02

@Alenanno — And what does it mean in Italian?

Cerberus

@Reg: This is confusing; but I have a hunch that this is a stone best left unturned.

RegDwight

@Alenanno His name is a cigar.

Robusto

My name is an artifical construct. It has no meaning but what I give it.

Boob

@Alenanno The bad meaning , please ;)

Alenanno

@Robusto Stout; tough; I see even robust exists?

Cerberus

14:02

Yes.

Miss

hmm

RegDwight

@Alenanno how boring.

Alenanno

lol

Cerberus

I think it exists in most EU languages.

Alenanno

@RegDwight not my fault :D

Cerberus

14:03

German robust?

Dutch has it at least.

RegDwight

@Alenanno Did you know that some of the letters in your name exist in mine?

Robusto

All these things are true; however, if they exist at all, it is because I bootstrapped them into existence. Ten miles each way, through the snow, uphill in all directions.

Boob

What's your suggestions for a new nickname?

Miss

anyways thanks you people and enjoy with boob

Alenanno

@RegDwight in sequence or randomly? lol

@Miss lol!

Cerberus

14:04

Perhaps "Strap-on"?

No.

RegDwight

@Miss Best part(y)ing call ever.

@Alenanno Yes.

Boob

1 min ago, by Miss

anyways thanks you people and enjoy with boob

Alenanno

@RegDwight It wasn't a yes-no question :D

Boob

Which boob?

Cerberus

What about... "Coy, chaste girl"?

RegDwight

14:05

@Robusto You forgot the onion. Certainly you wore an onion on your belt.

Cerberus

Oh not the onions again...

RegDwight

@Alenanno However, it was a yes-no answer.

Miss

ahh yes

RegDwight

Don't make me post links to the Joke article again.

Alenanno

@RegDwight don't you dare

RegDwight

14:06

Boob is talking to itself.

Boob

@RegDwight I'm obviously talking to Cerberus

RegDwight

Look up obviously.

Boob

Boob is ambiguous there by the way

Miss

good luck to you all with boob

see ya bye

Boob

@Miss I was good one time, not every second

enjoy miss

Robusto

14:08

@RegDwight — This is a good time to play Cake's "Comfort Eagle"

Cerberus

Bye @Miss!

Miss

yes bye all

RegDwight

@Robusto Is there ever a bad time?

Robusto

►

@RegDwight — Nope.

"He is calling you Dude!!"

"You can dress up like a sultan in your onion-head hat."

Miss

►

RegDwight

14:12

Um, Boob, there's a sandbox.

Boob

Hmmm, why it doesn't work

eh, yes

RegDwight

Sandbox

Where you can play with chat features (except flagging) and ch...

Alenanno

@Boob What was it?

Boob

@RegDwight I'm upsetting you?

Miss

whats use of sandBox chat room?

Robusto

14:14

Umm, it's almost never a good time to listen to the theme song from Titanic.

Boob

@Alenanno Your email's code

RegDwight

@Boob Kinda. Please follow the helpful Help link, check out the sandbox, or ask a mod (in this order) before trying out random stuff x times in a row.

Boob

There's an explanation of its usage

@RegDwight a mod?

I've asked

RegDwight

You asked "Which boob?"

"Which boob?" is not quite the same as "Can I reply to several posts at once?"

Boob

Cerberus

14:20

Hey did you know the Pentagon actually has special programs to train dogs and cats for recon and stuff?

slate.com/id/2293232

Pretty weird.

Especially the cats surprised me.

RegDwight

Very informative A++++ would read again.

Cerberus

Thank you!

Cats are incredible animals.

The things they can do...

RegDwight

I'm off to Skeptics, asking if they can provide more background information on CATS.

Cerberus

JSBangs

this will surely improve the quality of that sorry site

Cerberus

14:26

So what's up with Skeptics? Why does it seem to cause so much upheaval?

RegDwight

My best friend's death metal band was called Upheaval.

That's why!

JSBangs

@RegDwight 100% awesome

Cerberus

I see!

RegDwight

@JSBangs I still have a demo tape (tape!) right here.

Cerberus

So they were a skeptics band, all chanting "God may not exist, the world may not exist, you may not exist"?

JSBangs

14:29

does it have a hand-drawn cover image that looks like this?

RegDwight

@Cerberus Kind of, except that the chanting part went more like "AGHHHHHHHHRRRRRHGGGGRHRRRRGHHHHHRHG". In German.

Cerberus

Haha cute.

Gotta love that German grunting!

Very existentalistic.

RegDwight

@JSBangs Actually, the cover image features an armadillo.

And the B side is called Brmadillo.

JSBangs

@RegDwight that's not very metal

though Brmadillo is cute

Cerberus

Chitine, rather?

Bone? What is it.

JSBangs

14:32

@Cerberus i'm pretty sure armadillos are mostly hair. now if they were a hair metal band that might be ok

Cerberus

Haha, a hair metal band? You mean like Metallica before they cut their hair, or like the musical?

JSBangs

i mean like this hair metal:

Cerberus

Good gracious... what are those head-eating animals?

RegDwight

@JSB.

JSBangs

that totally gets a star

ok, but why does a german metal band name itself with an english word?

RegDwight

14:40

I can ask them.

JSBangs

in english, we just used english words with extra umlauts

RegDwight

I mean, it's not like nobody has ever wondered about the name, but I don't recall if there was any answer other than "we just have it, now shut up" or something.

JSBangs

Aufruhr has a nice sound to it

Umbruch as well (these being the first two entries that the interwebs give me for translating "upheaval")

RegDwight

The first one sounds like a teeny band.

Umbruch is better, but too Neue-Deutsche-Welle-like.

JSBangs

really? not to non-deutschophone me

Sankar Ganesh

Hi All Guys, Please share your Views in this question

-1

Q: How People React in New Enivornment and What are all Advice we can give to them ?

Hi All, Let us Assume a person is JoyFul , Bubbly and so humorous in character and also he is a Sentiment character person, If that person living or working in a environment, suddenly if the person changes or relocated to some where i.e.,a new unknowing environment, can we advice that person ...

JSBangs

@SankarGanesh why in the world is that on skeptics?

RegDwight

Psychology

Proposed Q&A site for those who are interested in the science of mind and behavior.

Currently in definition.

JSBangs

would be better for programmers, mebbe. or pm.SE

Sankar Ganesh

@JSBangs it's closed without getting an answer, so help me friends

JSBangs

@SankarGanesh i cannot answer your question. what makes you think that english.SE is the sort of place to get an answer to this question?

Sankar Ganesh

14:45

@JSBangs Sorry pls share your Views, my dear friend

RegDwight

I second JSBangs, @Sankar. We're no psychologists here.

Sankar Ganesh

oh Shit, my dear friends, where i have to go.............., Ohshit this world also throws me out, i belive this world will help me

Boob

@SankarGanesh ZOMG?

JSBangs

that response was so bizarre, i'm tempted to star it

Boob

Better to use "oh man" in that case

Cerberus

14:48

@Sank: It depends on what you mean by "sentimental" exactly. Gay?

Sankar Ganesh

@Boob Thanks, I learn some english, i got tensed i have to prepare a document and have to conselling a person too, since i m doing my M.S Psychology

RegDwight

Wait, you are a psychologist and you're asking us???

Boob

@SankarGanesh Good luck then

I cannot wait for you

Sankar Ganesh

@RegDwight i m asking you people views , because i have to get that public thinks

@Boob Thanks, for your loving and encouraging words

RegDwight

Well, you know my view now. Consult a psychologist.)))

Sankar Ganesh

14:50

@Cerberus Sentimental in the sense,lot of feelings and too Emotional

Cerberus

> I continue to believe that religion brings the potential for a great many good things. I could probably continue going through the motions, except that I believe in morality and honesty, and I hate pretending to be something that I'm not.

RegDwight

Well, as a sentimental person myself I would say that your premise is flawed. I have no trouble whatsoever adapting to new situations, places, people.

Cerberus

My advice would be to hold those emotions back at first, and see whether his new environment will appreciate his sentimentality or not.

Take it slow.

@Reg: You do not seem excessively emotional or outspoken so far...

RegDwight

Just why am I not surprised that Cerberus would recommend being slow...

Cerberus

I know right!

RegDwight

14:53

@Cerberus I have a friggin Outspoken badge. And I would have the Emotional one, too, if it existed.

Cerberus

Hah well then the badges are far too easy!

Sankar Ganesh

@Cerberus: Waw, Nice Advice

Cerberus

Okay, so I had a question about the use of the gerund after continue. Somehow this one strikes me as odd, but I don't know why:

> I continue to believe that religion brings the potential for a great many good things. I could probably continue going through the motions, except that I believe in morality and honesty, and I hate pretending to be something that I'm not.

RegDwight

Holding back emotions is potentially damaging. It's not nice advice at all. :P

It's my party and I cry if I want to!

Sankar Ganesh

@Cerberus: Suppose his not appreciating Sentiment , then it would be diffcult for those people

@Cerberus: Will you appreciate Sentiment in a Person

RegDwight

14:56

Okay, guys, get a room.

Cerberus

Well it is a matter of personal preference. I for one see no problem at all in holding back emotions. I do it all the time, or I'd hit, bully, and fondle people all around me all the time.

RegDwight

People, this is one of those rare sites/chats where ESL does not mean what you think it means.

Sankar Ganesh

@RegDwight WHAT DOES ESL REFERS TO

Cerberus

Emotions-Sentiments Learning?

RegDwight

Ege sex location.

Cerberus

14:57

Normally it means English as a Second Language.

Ege haha.

I have no idea what a suitable solution for the acronym would be in this case.

Sankar Ganesh

Good i learn many things here, Very Happy and feeling now more re-energized

Cerberus

Good!

RegDwight

That's how we roll.

Cerberus

Eggzactly.

Boob

Sankar Ganesh
