:derp: sorry I’m not up on trendy stuff. Make America Great Again isn’t in my daily, weekly, or even monthly vocabulary.

RELOAD!

@brug ... what people are those... santas with chainsaws...?

@IvenBach I believe that was actually @Marc-Andre who posted those from driving in the snow

Oh I remember that video. That was wild.

You couldn't even see the houses because the snow was so high.

@FreezePhoenix They are what passes for "conservatives" nowadays. Trump country. My state (Kentucky) is like that too: if you venture outside the urban areas of Louisville and Lexington, you better be careful.

Left blue spot is Louisville, right one is Lexinxton

@Phrancis We actually call the rural areas Pennsyltucky when we want to characterize it as super conservative...

@brug I see what you mean...

Pennsylvania is the Bible Belt of the north-east

Yeah its bad. Even the city is more conservative than I like.

My mom and uncle are both MAGA's (although my mom moved to Georgia)

i dont like politics. Or religion. I mean, I don't have problems with people having opinions, I just don't like it when problems arise because of them (I.E: Crusades)

I don't like people who want me dead.

Unfortunately, to them it's "politics".

Unfortunately for them, to me, it's your right to do whatever the heck you want to do as long as it doesn't actively harm someone else. If they have a problem with your actions, but your actions are not an attempt to cause problems, then it is their problem.

I.E if someone tries to murder you because you like a certain baseball team, but you were not like IN YOUR FACE about it, then really, there was no reason for violence. If you were IN YOUR FACE about it, still uncalled for, but I can understand being frustrated

Wow. I’m surprised California shows up at it did. politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/california

@brug If i didn't know you better, I'd ask why they wanted you dead.

@FreezePhoenix Who I am is hardly a secret in this room...

@FreezePhoenix it’s was more under the guise of religion. Power hungry individuals will use whatever tool available as an excuse.

@IvenBach You guys have it pretty good over in CA (politics wise—the wildfires and others things like PG&E and whatnot are quite terrible)

@IvenBach ... the result is the same, therefore i do not care

The cause is the same: Malevolent people

The ability to respectfully disagree isn’t super common among religion or politics.

It’s unfortunate that “Giving other people rights threatens mine” is a knee jerk reaction.

Giving the person across the street to do what they want in their house does not violate your rights lol

@IvenBach The fake oppression of white hetero self-righteous Christians

I don't even see how this makes it through court the way it does, if it is the way it was designed

The only thing I've seen is that throughout history it has taken massive amounts of effort to get basic rights, because our court system (US) does not work the way it was designed

@FreezePhoenix Political manipulators are packing courts with right-wing activist judges, and making every possible attempt to block appointments from liberal politicians

The real problem is that the people in charge are human

@FreezePhoenix Well, I don't think that problem is getting solved any time soon. So maybe we focus for now on putting humans with good ethics in power.

Ongoing fun #InfoSec story

He applied a QR code meant to test antivirus to his car to see if plate readers and other such systems would pick up on it and log it to their database as ASCII, which should cause their antivirus to quarantine the database

[LionelBergen/MinesweeperSeleniumSolver] LionelBergen pushed commit e9c07b0c to master: more test stuff

@Phrancis <sarcasm>The oppression is real my boy! I can’t no longer act myself cause them #others cause they be all against me. I want them good old days that’s gone to be back<\sarcasrm>

I joke with my wife that we can’t move to certain places cause she’ll stick out like a sore thumb cause she’s brown. A specific part of me is sad because of it too.

@IvenBach Ah yes I can see that, I'd feel a certain sadness too

Just walked to the corner store to get a money order for rent. The clerk there informed me the ATM can only dispense $5 bills right now (they only take cash for money orders). So the poor guy ended up having to count a stack of $5 about 3/4" thick

Making bank!

> That’s right. Count me my money!

@IvenBach You say that with sarcasm but that is literally what "MAGA" stands for...

@Phrancis We need to not only make this happen, but also find a way to systematically keep the positions of leadership filled with ethical people.

@brug I do say it with dripping sarcasm knowing the undertones it represents.

It’s my belief that those who support and espouse that idea don’t realize what it means and represents to other non majority groups.

@IvenBach Ohh I know you do... Your intentions and your sense of humor are not in doubt here. I just think that you hit the nail on the ideological head with that one.

I take after Richard Pryor and George Carlin as my mentors. Fostered by my old mans twisted and observant sense of humor.

@IvenBach Some do. Some don't. I know many cishet white men that know exactly how much privilege they have and have no intention of caring about anyone else but their superiority.

@brug only the court jester, the fool as it were, was allowed to openly make fun of the king. Truth is told through comedy.

Indeed

Knowing how to read between the lines teaches a whole lot.

@IvenBach Man do I miss Carlin in this day and age.

@Phrancis I don't get it. So the QR code that he put on his car is getting read by the plate readers that are used to charge people tolls? And if they read the code it will send them to quarantine?

And this is just causing a buttload of work for someone who has to see why their systems are being quarantined and possibly making the system shut down?

Hadn't seen that one before. I couldn't believe it was Carlin until I heard the voice.

@brug That's more or less the idea. You could call that penetration testing I suppose.

He also indicated that a lot of older systems are used, that would have no idea how to read a QR code, so these would be unaffected

Okay makes sense.

@IvenBach I'm not saying I dislike early routines like this, but I much prefer the old, bitter, cynical Carlin

PSA: Above video can be somewhat offensive.

@Phrancis can will be very offensive.

@IvenBach can will be very offensive true.

@IvenBach I'd like to think adults should be able to handle humor, even if at their expense, to be just that—humor. But many take personal offense and that's unfortunate. For them, mostly.

If you can't laugh at yourself what can you laugh at?

True. And all he's doing, is showing the cognitive dissonance held carefully by so many.

Tangentially, earlier today I made this image that I will be using a lot this year, instead of entertaining Trump supporters, feel welcome to steal it if you like. twitter.com/FrancisVeeGee/status/1212515080073613312

@Phrancis Consider it stolen!

and thanks!

It's my pleasure truly :)

@Phrancis Still human.

Although I don't typically engage with Trump supporters. I am usually engaged with TERFs though.

@brug I still have the Word document open, if you want a modified version I'll be happy to make one for you, just tell me what you want it to say different :)

@Phrancis How about one just against politicians in general lol

@Phrancis Mind DMing me the file and then I can tweak it when I actually figure out what I want it to say?

Okay

I did not expect this to be the final boss

@brug DM me your email on Twitter, don't think non-media files can be sent by DM

@Phrancis Discord does allow non-media files. Just zip them first.

@Phrancis Someone sent me a pdf yesterday...

oh

You're the account I just followed right? Just making 100% sure

yup. I just sent my e-mail anyway

@brug Twitter didn't let me attach that kind of file, so I emailed you just now.

got it

yeah they might consider pdf to be a media file

twitter.com/FlyingMezerkis/status/1212571436885430273?s=19

@bruglesco ^^ Looks yummy!

@brug sorry my phone cached your previous handle

haha no worries

Now I want cucumber salad.

But it's January and I can't get good cukes...

Not sure if you've ever tried, but zucchini and yellow squash are quite good raw, just a little more dense and less watery than cucumbers

Never had them pickled salad style...

Well my roommate rented the newest Jurassic Park movie and I'm going to likely close the night with that

@Phrancis Pretend it's a limbo match and see for far you can lower the bar before you can't get under it. That's where you should set your expectations.</snark>

Little does that person know how much of a fraud I am.

I'm back!

@Marc-Andre Pictures wanted!

@Marc-Andre Mixer?

@IvenBach For which we are very thankful.

@IvenBach And I was just about to tell you, "Nice to read that comment! Good job!"

@IvenBach Can't fake an answer like that, nicely put

I secretly and selfishly use it as a means to improve my own refactoring ability.

@IvenBach We all do! Before I ever answered a question on CR, when I had only ever posted questions, Hosch told me he always learned more from answering questions than he did from asking them. From then on I challenged myself to answer more and found that answering taught me a ton and was great practice too...

If you halfway know what you're doing that what writing should do.

@IvenBach It was a good answer. Stop Dunning-Krugering yourself.

That's my biggest gripe with writing papers for academic/mandatory reasons.

Teacher: Write what you learned.
Iven: I didn't learn anything. Blindly following the steps led me to get the correct answer.
Teacher: Well you understood it then. You got the correct answer.
Iven: :thinking: (WTF did you not listen? Blind following doesn't help me learn). Yes I did...

@brug Reading other pineapple's people's code and finding ways to improve it is indeed a very educational experience.

@SimonForsberg You've really embraced the usage of pineapple well.

But yes. It has led to the most fruitful learning I've had so far. (Why did you do it that way? How does this even work?)

@brug Thank you. I'm gonna take that as a compliment.

@SimonForsberg It was.

Which is why I took it as one :)

><

That just got my inner old man to stand up and start screaming "WE DON'T NEED ANY OF THIS". Then I realized the utility symbol picker.

hey

Monking!

@IvenBach Nice find, except the shortcut is WinKey + .

It's both. On Win10 at least.

@IvenBach It was entertaining and fairly interesting to watch once, but I doubt I'll be tempted to watch it again

@IvenBach Oh. The one with ; didn't work for me at first, but then it just started working. Weird.

Here's some harmless fun twitter.com/KylePlantEmoji/status/1212511916733550597

Hey everyone have a nice day

Wait wut? Apparently Australia is having the most righteous BBQ right now.

@Phrancis 😎

9️⃣9️⃣9️⃣9️⃣9️⃣

There could be a bomb that goes off in 'Murica and I'd not know about it for a couple weeks.

@IvenBach That's a dark way to qualify massive bush fires

@Phrancis Well to be fair that's the Iven way

@Phrancis Embracing the darkness only makes you stronger. It build resiliency. That why Vader was 1337!

[Zomis/Server2/refactor] build 24 Build success.

[Zomis/Server2] build for commit dda5173a on refactor: This commit looks good

Gah, there seems to be a bug in @Duga on AWS or something... I don't understand why she's not posting my commits :(

@SimonForsberg It appeared to be working yesterday, has something changed?

Made my first drawing with my paper tablet today :)

Colored on pc

@Phrancis Not that I know of, which is what's even more interesting. I don't know why that works, but this doesn't.

@skiwi Cool!
