@Mahnax I have 6 declined, four of which declines I disagree with.
Two of them were declined while my flag weight was >500, which hurt.
I still haven't recovered from my last mistake.

7:35 PM
@Danielδ I lost 10 flag weight today too, so I think I shan't flag anymore.
 
@JasperLoy that's not a reason to stop flagging! it's a reason to flag more. you'll never gain it back if you stop.

user19161
@MattЭллен Then I can concentrate on rep whoring!
 
@JasperLoy true, true
 
user19161
@MattЭллен Now there is good, good, true, true, right, right, hear, hear, there, there.

That's a use for post-apocalypically, apparently. Well, good luck. I wonder what that smells like
@JasperLoy and all the rest!

7:40 PM
@MattЭллен I tried chrome browser today on debian, did not like it. I tried to like it even though it cannot not save history, but I could not. So I stick to FF.
 
user19161
I declare FF is the only good browser!
 
I could swear I've seen this before:

Q: Different post count on summary and accounts tabs

Jasper LoyMy user profile currently shows 223 answers and 15 questions on the summary tab but 221 answers and 15 questions on the accounts tab. This cannot be due to delay in updating as the discrepancy persists for quite a while. I noticed this phenomenon for some other users too. For example, simchona h...

 
user19161
I am surprised TPTB have not answered my meta question.
 
But all I can find is it vs that and this vs that.
 
user19161
7:42 PM
It is the biggest SE bug ever.
 
@JasperLoy I thought it had to do with deleted answers, but I checked and it doesn't.
 
user19161
@RegDwightѬſ道 Exactly that is why this is the SE mystery of the year. It needs to be solved by Christmas or Santa Claus will not come.
 
whines
like a small child
wants to play map game
 
Which map game?
 
Any map game!
 
7:45 PM
We can play in a second if you can spare a bar cos were rly struglin lol
 
I just did.
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 yup, I an't see a single pronoun question on this vs it
 
We're ahead.
 
Oh that was you!
Awesome.
 
Uhuh.
 
7:46 PM
Now pick a map game to play.
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 er, wha? who's logged into Reg's account? step away from the keyboard!
 
We could post maps in chat here, or play Geosense (click cities on a map—but I have been practising for ages, so maybe no fun).
 
We could play map-reduce.
 
name the stretch of water!
 
Hmm...
@RegDwightѬſ道 Qu'est-ce que c'est?
@MattЭллен Not the Channel?
 
7:49 PM
it's not not the channel
 
Oh, it is!
The straits near Calais.
I don't know what they are called.
 
Quite
The English Channel!
 
Ohhh...
Meanie!
It's called het Kanaal in Dutch!
 
Oh, wait, you said not not!
 
7:50 PM
MapReduce is a software framework introduced by Google in 2004 to support distributed computing on large data sets on clusters of computers. Parts of the framework are patented in some countries. The framework is inspired by the map and reduce functions commonly used in functional programming, although their purpose in the MapReduce framework is not the same as their original forms. MapReduce libraries have been written in C++, C#, Erlang, Java, LabVIEW, OCaml, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, F#, R and other programming languages. Overview MapReduce is a framework for processing highly distrib...
 
lol
@Cerberus I did
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 Looks better than most other articles.
 
That's why Google have patented it!
 
that MapReduce sure it purrty
 
@Cerberus It's called Ляманш in Russian.
 
7:51 PM
@RegDwightѬſ道 I don't really understand what it does, but if you will explain the rules and whence the fun is derived, why not?
@RegDwightѬſ道 That is French!
La Manche.
 
@Cerberus psst I think it's a joke
 
I feel really angry and pissed off right now.
 
@MrShinyandNew安宇 I think so too, but I was trying to force the bird to turn it into a game.
 
@Kitḫ I can take one to the chin
have a swing
 
7:52 PM
@Kitḫ What's the matter?
 
@Kitḫ Here's a picture of a sleeve, make out with it.
 
punches @Matt on the chin
 
falls to the ground
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 Yummy. Thanks.
 
user19161
@Kitḫ Tell yourself the evil people are not worth thinking about.
 
7:53 PM
@MattЭллен kicks
 
amblemance!
oof
 
No falling TO THE GROUND in this chat.
 
unfalls to the ground
 
My husband has not answered his phone all day. I left early because the roads are horrible, he left me a voicemail that he had been taking a nap and he'd see me when I got home, and when I got home he was not there and when I called him, HE DIDN'T FUCKING ANSWER HIS PHONE AGAIN!
So I called his mother.
 
TO THE GROUND!
 
You called her to the ground?
What did she say?
 
Well, after she handed him the phone and I shouted for a little bit, then he said that the roads are bad enough that he might just say there tonight.
So I am stuck at home by myself.
Probably for hours and hours.
 
Aww.
 
sad panda
 
7:56 PM
This is a cellphone! I threw it on the ground! Whatcha think, I'm stupid?
 
And the weather is going to be bad?
 
It's peculiar and dangerous.
 
Where are the children? With them?
 
Yes.
 
OK.
 
7:57 PM
It's about 25 degrees F, so what like -10 C?
 
You could call a friend and drink wine together?
 
And it's foggy, so everything is glazed with ice.
 
Probably -5 C.
 
It's not safe for anyone to be out driving.
 
7:58 PM
Hmm.
 
Besides, I don't have any friends.
 
How about walking?
 
Not really safe for walking either.
 
@Kitḫ Sure you do.
 
user19161
7:58 PM
@Kitḫ In Soviet Russia friends have you.
 
I'd friend you if I lived nearby.
 
seconded
 
I'd friend you if I were on Facebook.
 
Well, Jules is in Aruba. And my other friends have families.
Thanks, guys.
 
So what if they have families?
Does that mean they have to be boring?
 
7:59 PM
And no one should be out driving in this weather anyway.
 
user19161
@Kitḫ I walk with you in spirit though not in body.
 
Maybe not driving.
You could pay some old friend a telephone visit?
 
@Cerberus No, it means they have responsibilities that supersede spontaneous wine-drinking get-togethers.
@Cerberus I'd rather just have a tantrum in EL&U chat.
 
@Kitḫ Like what? Their hubbies could watch the kids.
 
user19161
@MattЭллен I think Soviet Russia will be my new favourite line.
 
8:00 PM
@Kitḫ That's fine too!
 
@Cerberus It's just...I...grr.
 
In conclusion, many people are boring, and winter sucks.
 
user19161
@Cerberus Winter has no mouth.
 
Being stuck in the house without my family sucks.
I'm sad and I miss them.
 
It's funny how people change when they get kids and hubbies.
 
8:02 PM
You could dance salsa. Also, eat.
 
I, for one, am glad that I'm alone tonight.
 
user19161
Kit is stuck, that does suck, she needs luck, eat a duck.
 
Too many things in December.
 
What am I going to do tonight, all alone in the house with nothing but scotch and Skyrim?
 
user19161
Please star my poem.

Q: Phrase for `"to have more middle-european Xmess"`? Green guy VS Red guy -juxtaposition

hhhThere is the cultural difference between the red "Weichnachtman" and the green guy (is it St. Nikolaus?). As far as I understand, the usually-green guy is associated to middle-europe while the red guy has totally different cultural heritage (not just Coca-cola bottles) but, at least in Northern E...

 
@Kitḫ I think you've just answered your own question.
But how about reading a book, calling a friend, watching a television programme on the internet?
 
But think of the porn, @Cerb. How do I work in the porn?
@RegDwightѬſ道 WTF?
 
@Kitḫ I'm sure the internets can help you?
 
Hmm. Play Skyrim on PS3, drink scotch, watch porn on computer. Could be done...
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 This is definitely Gen Ref, like "what does chair mean?". We have at least 20 duplicates of this already.
 
8:05 PM
Scotch and Skyrim and porn. You have two monitors, right?
 
user19161
Kit is stuck, that does suck, she needs luck, eat a duck.
 
@Kitḫ See? And have you ever tried Chat Roulette?
Could be fun...
 
user19161
Why is nobody starring my poem?
 
I don't know where Chat Roulette falls in the spectrum of things that are OK for me to do.
@JasperLoy There once was a girl named Kit...
 
@Kitḫ It's anonymous, isn't it?
 
8:07 PM
@Cerberus I don't think that makes a difference to my husband.
And I'm not sure I'm interested enough to find out.
Also, shaky ground for negotiation, given that I just yelled at him.
 
@Kitḫ Seriously, that's the kind of shit I have to put up on GLU.
 
Then just don't turn on your own camera, and just watch and have a laugh at people and quickly switch to the next one.
 
I have edited it in shape and then closed.
And now a shitstorm will break out on meta.
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 That's way worse than EL&U crap.
 
"OMG such a great question, y u close?"
 
8:09 PM
You have my sympathy, sir.
 
Every second 3k user there cannot communicate in any language.
 
@Cerberus That's not what I'm concerned about. I'm pretty sure anonymous sex stuff is off the table in my relationship.
 
where is this?
mostly
 
The Nederlands.
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 Arg, I couldn't even read it, too horrible.
 
8:10 PM
given the borders aren't even nearly square
 
I had run across some of those folks before, on the meta Meta, and I thought, oh well, they are Germans, their English sucks but okay. Well, then they showed up on GLU and it turned out that their German sucks even more.
 
@Kitḫ ding!
 
@MattЭллен No idea. Is that part of the bottom of the sea you're showing?
 
@Cerberus sorry sir, Kit already got it
 
@Kitḫ Then what do you mean?
 
8:11 PM
User needs assist. BRB
 
Users are overrated.
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 Haha, perfect.
@Kitḫ BTW, it's simply "Nederland" in Dutch.
 
@Cerberus I mean, I don't think any sort of online sexy-sex, anonymous or not, is OK for me to do. I don't think my husband would like it.
 
@Cerberus Yeah. Except that those folks are now in charge of that site. I am outnumbered.
 
@Cerberus OK. I was speaking English though.
 
8:13 PM
@Kitḫ I meant you wouldn't be doing anything, just lauging, pointing, and clicking on to the next one.
 
just like watching porn, really
 
@Cerberus Hmm. Well, then that seems kind of gross. Like Googling "images: gordito."
 
@RegDwightѬſ道 Catch them in your beak and chew them all to pieces?
 
noooooo
 
@Kitḫ Eww.
 
8:14 PM
I've seen enough amateur porn in my day that that seems really unappealing.
 
I would so ban you on Kongregate!
 
It's Matt's fault!
 
Hardly.
 
Gah, 300 behind again. I hate those guys.
 
He started the whole bizarro Victorian cherubic porn art thing!
 
8:15 PM
what? whadido?
oh
that
yeah
 
You! You with your "whatever you do, don't do this!" thing!
 
wait! Kit said Gordita. That's what set me off
 
No Gordita in this chat.
NEVER AGAIN!
 
For the sake of the children
 
It was my lunch! You were the one who made it a gordito!
 
8:17 PM
Yeah. Nobody ever thinks of the children. Someone finally think of the children! Goshes.
 
Damn it!! Now I'm out of exclamation marks/.
 
I'm not children.
I'm going to make a meringue. This time it's going to succeed.
 
I'll have to make do with these/.
 
Here u can hez mine: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't spend them all at once.
 
Thanks!
Shit! The war!
 
8:18 PM
_______________________________
 
Shit! The user!
 
Good morning.
Vietnam.
 
lol
 
These are low-budget exclamation marks. You need to cut them out yourself.
And they're thin, of course.
 
Yeah. You'd need very special pliers. Get an expert to help.
 
8:19 PM
usr: i hez tryed 2 reset my pwd 3 times it no werk u halp
Actually, it was this: "None of the new passwords sent to me work ( I tried three times). Help.... how can I get into my account."
 
@Kitḫ try 8 moar times lol, u stoopid or wat?
 
yay! off topic

Q: Who said "Do that which cannot be taken away from thee"?

tom"Do that which cannot be taken away from thee"

 
@Kitḫ Oh, in that case: "We don't let people into their accounts because then they can never find back out again. Hope that helps."
 
1. Learn javascript.
2. Find the secret exploit.
3. Hack into your account.
 
@MattЭллен Oh damn you're too fast. I wanted to close, too!
 
8:21 PM
4. ...
 
Profit is never 4.
What kind of nonsense is that!
 
5. Profit
@RegDwightѬſ道 First code always breaks.
 
@Kitḫ Touché.
 
@Kitḫ How can a compile break? Either it compiles or it doesn't.

beating egg whites
beating black slaves too in order to avoid discrimination law suits
 
well covered, @Cerberus
 
Thanks! I have six pairs of brains, after all.
 
8:25 PM
So instead I have to reset her password for her, which I haven't made a happy page for yet.
 
@Cerberus true
 
What?
 
So why don't her passwords work?
 
I don't know. She can't copy-paste?
Maybe she has caps lock on.
 
Have you tried doing it when logging in on her account?
 
8:26 PM
gives Cerb a look
 
maybe she has a qwerty keyboard that's been setup as dvorak
 
I don't know, just to make sure.
 
If I weren't so busy typing in chat right now, I'd have fixed this already.
 
I see.
I'm just beating my whites.
They're pretty stiff already.
 
euphemisms!
 
8:28 PM
sleazy look
 
I can't log into her account without her password, you see.
 
@Cerberus yes you do
 
user19161
I joined Chinese Language and Usage!
 
And since she has tried to reset it three times, I have no idea what it is now.
 
@JasperLoy congrats
 
user19161
8:29 PM
Public beta has begun!
 
My peaks are getting stiffer and stiffer. When will it be enough?
 
So I diverted her account to my email, reset her password, logged in, then changed her password to something easier to remember.
 
Good idea.
 
Then I tested to make sure the change stuck.
 
user19161
@Cerberus I misread that just now, replacing peaks with a word starting with the same letter.
 
8:30 PM
Yay!
 
@Kitḫ genius
 
Then I re-directed her account back to her own email.
 
@JasperLoy Learn2read!
 
user19161
@Cerberus No improper words in chat!
 
And anyway, I would've saved myself the effort if I had just built a password reset page. I don't understand why users don't know how to use this function.
 
user19161
8:32 PM
@MattЭллен WTF?
 
You click the link, enter your username, click a button, and it emails you a new password.
What is hard about that?
 
@JasperLoy it's from the underpants gnomes episode of South Park
 
@Kitḫ I'm still wondering why she couldn't do it. What could she have done wrong?
 
and where the
1. [step one]
2. ???
3. profit
meme comes from
 
user19161
@MattЭллен Yay, my meta question now has two votes!
 
8:33 PM
Getting the password wrong three times in a row?
 
@JasperLoy good for you!
 
@Cerberus I really can't fathom it.
 
user19161
@MattЭллен Oh I see, here we try to find the meme, but in Soviet Russia meme finds you!
 
Maybe she had her login name wrong?
 
user19161
@Kitḫ Maybe she did not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase.
 
8:34 PM
It's one of the users that I like, so I will cut her some slack.
sigh I just feel like sulking.
 
@Kitḫ hugs
'tis the season to be sulky
fa la la la la la la la la
Scrunch your face and be all moany
fa la la la la la la la la
 
8:51 PM
There once was a girl named Kit
Who was pouty and lacking in wit
The day was all grey
And at home she'd stay
And she didn't like it, not one little bit.
 
Still 200 behind with 36 minutes remaining. I will start sniping in 6 minutes. @Cer @Kit please do join in some 15 minutes after that if you can.
 
OK, @Reg
Hmm. Chat Roulette...
 
Better than Russian Roulette.
Worse than Russian Omelette.
 
A striking young woman named Kit
All alone, by herself she did sit
Her family were out
And that made her pout
She ended up pitching a fit

Then chat roulette entered her mind
In unbidden nudity she'd find
The things that were missing
The hugging and kissing
From strangers of an odd kind
 
Maybe they will come home after all.
