01:04 * Schism attempts to line up a shot in a game of billiards. He takes the shot, and then the balls explode.

01:05 <DashedRainbows> Aww

01:07 <Schism> Exploding billiard balls were in fact a thing.

01:22 <DashedRainbows> Cool

01:24 <Schism> Very light explosions, mind you, but they made the sound of a small blast cap.  This was perhaps not a good thing if you were in the saloon.

01:34 <Schism> Canada has a new governor general.  o3o  She's an astronaut.

03:18 *** Quits: ThatAnonPony (Pony49618@Pony-i454b4.cable.virginm.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

03:19 <DashedRainbows> Weird Al and Andrea Libman are both awesome

03:20 <Thelema5> Yeah, they really pulled that episode together

03:22 <FreezeFrame> Got Chinese instead.

03:23 * Filly_Nightmares hats on FreezeFrame

03:23 * Filly_Nightmares wuvs FreezeFrame

03:24 * FreezeFrame hands a chicken teriyaki stick up to Filly_Nightmares

03:24 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs it all!

03:24 <DashedRainbows> Hillbilly rarity!

03:26 <FreezeFrame> Unfortunately, currently no cable, so no ponies until end of season..

03:26 <Filly_Nightmares> Aw

03:26 <Filly_Nightmares> Not even Daily Motion? o5o

03:26 <FreezeFrame> I hear best pone (meaning Rarity) really shines, though

03:26 <FreezeFrame> I try to avoid pirating things I want to succeed

03:27 <Filly_Nightmares> Okey

03:30 <DashedRainbows> Unlike on this episode

03:31 <Thelema5> FreezeFrame, will you at least be able to go see the movie in theaters?

03:33 <DashedRainbows> Tabitha is so good though

03:37 <Thelema5> Hasbro must have stepped up their youtube ad spend- I'm getting trailer ads for the movie constantly now

03:37 <Thelema5> These final few days before it's released are going to be a blitz of marketing and promos

03:38 <DashedRainbows> So excited

03:39 <DashedRainbows> OMG that accent

03:40 <Asoka> i block all adds in the web or nearly all

03:40 <Filly_Nightmares> o5o

03:43 *** Quits: Saerydoth (akai@Pony-2i7.fvo.126.65.IP) (Quit: Leaving)

03:44 <Thelema5> Asoka, how do you think all these websites you view content on make money?

03:44 <Thelema5> They can't operate without ads unless they start charging people for access

03:46 <Asoka> from my most used webpage for news is paid from german cititzen with 7.5 billion€ per year so them is not allowed of this to show adds

03:46 <DashedRainbows> Yellow quiet sings!

03:47 <Asoka> heise and golem ask people to pay

03:49 <DashedRainbows> And character assassination of Pinkie

03:49 <Thelema5> What epsiode are you watching now, DashedRainbows?  Filli Vanilli?

03:49 *** CocoPommel is now known as coco`

03:49 <DashedRainbows> Yup

03:49 <Thelema5> Another one of my favorites.

03:49 <Thelema5> Season 4 really rocked.

03:50 <DashedRainbows> Mhm

03:50 <Thelema5> It also had two of my least favorite episodes, though, so a bit up a rollercoaster there

03:50 <Asoka> Thelema5 then the adds would be not anoing, used to infect computer with viruses or using so much conmputer ressources i would them not block

03:50 <DashedRainbows> I know one, but the other?

03:51 <Thelema5> Breezies and Power Ponies

03:51 <DashedRainbows> Ah ok

03:52 <DashedRainbows> I still think some in s6 were worse

03:52 <DashedRainbows> Also big Mac singing

03:54 <Asoka> Thelema5 but i think the us internet companys they have in europe a bigger problem as add block

03:54 <DashedRainbows> 28 pranks later...

03:54 <FreezeFrame> Thelema: I'm debating whether or not to go to the movie

03:55 <DashedRainbows> Do it, FreezeFrame!

03:57 <DashedRainbows> Flutterguy!

03:58 <Thelema5> You should go, for sure!

03:58 <Thelema5> It's a once in a lifetime experience

03:59 <DashedRainbows> Mhm

04:00 <DashedRainbows> That voice seems so weird from her mouth

04:00 <Thelema5> Oh my goodness, I'm not even joking- EVERY time I start a new video on youtube it's preceeded by a pony ad

04:00 <Thelema5> Flutterguy.  Heh.

04:01 <Thelema5> Of all the times they made poor flutters grotesque, flutterguy was the best

04:01 <Thelema5> Flutterhulk was godawful

04:05 <Thelema5> I don't know.  Were we talking about something?

04:05 <Thelema5> Nope.

04:06 <DashedRainbows> The episode count just jumps

04:07 <DashedRainbows> Pinkie *headdesk*

04:08 <DashedRainbows> As for that other episode, I just pretend she found the key

04:09 <Thelema5> The thing that bothers me the MOST about that episode is that they had a PERFECT out at the end.  All just a dream sequence in spike's twisted mind.  I could have accepted that.  Totally fine.  but NO.

04:10 <Thelema5> Overpowered enchanted comics are /totally/ a thing and everything that happened it /totally/ cannon.  WTH?

04:10 <Thelema5> Gah, I shouldn't get started on that episode.  It's the worst, by far.  I nearly ragequit the fandom when it aired

04:11 <DashedRainbows> Your 28 pranks later

04:11 <Thelema5> Another terribad episode.

04:11 <DashedRainbows> Tell me about it

04:11 <Thelema5> Let's forget all about 7 years of character grown and just make Rainbow 10 times worse than she was in season 1

04:12 <DashedRainbows> Yeah really

04:12 <Thelema5> I mean for crying out loud- in season ONE she had enough sense to not prank Fluttershy. But now?  Oh forget it

04:27 <Thelema5> OH!  And Charlyne Yi should TOTALLY voice her.

04:28 <Thelema5> Oh man, that would be epic.

04:29 <DashedRainbows> Hey Finwe

04:30 <DashedRainbows> Pipsqueak is so honest

04:30 <Thelema5> Pft.  He lied about his ability to fulfil his campaign promises.

04:31 <Finwe> No. Only Good morning, everypony!

04:31 <Thelema5> Or at least, he wasn't honest in his assement of his ability

05:20 <Thelema5> Gosh, I am SO happy they included Bill Shatner in this important episode

05:21 <Thelema5> Grannie Apple Smith was so cool to accept Pear Butter after the wedding

05:24 <Thelema5> I think Perfect Pear is probably the most important episode in the sreies

08:04 <Finwe> I've spent this week as a physics teacher at a high school.

08:04 <Finwe> Not really my cup of tea, but it's been alright.

08:04 <Starwatcher> heh, pretty cool -

08:04 <Starwatcher> you've gotta know your stuff to do that

08:05 <Starwatcher> and be a good presenter

08:05 <Starwatcher> what brought you that way?

08:05 <Finwe> A friend's mother, the real physics teacher, broke her leg and must stay home this week.

08:07 <Starwatcher> oh =(

08:07 <Starwatcher> well, sorry to hear that

08:07 <Starwatcher> it was good of you to cover for 'em

08:07 <Finwe> I promised to take care of her classes this week.

08:08 <Starwatcher> sounds like a good thing all around.

08:08 <Starwatcher> I did something similar, not far back

08:09 <Starwatcher> there was this group of students who wanted to launch something to (near) space - a local highschool

08:09 <Starwatcher> I helped them get a spot on a nasa high altitude balloon - they sent me down to the launch with them also

08:09 <Finwe> I guess that most of the students would like to launch the high school into space.

08:27 <Finwe> The water pipes are usually assembled underground in order to prevent them from freezing.

08:27 <RazorSharpFang> Ah yes, the ground temperature below is closer to the average temperature for the year than the surface.

08:28 <Finwe> Schism: We usually have hot water boiled collectively for the whole building.

08:28 <Finwe> Or at even lager scale at a power plant.

08:29 <Finwe> But then you need insulated pipes for the hot water.

08:29 * Schism nods, then provides Finwe with a lager scale. It's like a way to measure beer. o3o

11:58 <Cepheid> And it's warm in this room.  And there's a smell.

12:00 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Big Name Youtuber Does a Pony Cake  [ http://tinyurl.com/yalklkjx ]

12:00 <Cepheid> Got my assignment back too for this class.  88.5%.  Higher than expected as the system told me I'd earn at least an 85%.

12:01 <ConfusionRift> Wait, so the system pre-grades you?

12:01 <Cepheid> He implemented a test server to test for correctness and speed of each part of the assignment.

12:02 <Cepheid> Since it's abstract data structures and algorithms, so picking the right data structure and algorithm to use is important.

12:02 <Cepheid> As a result, it tells you not only if A)  You got the right answer, but B)  It was fast enough, and C)  Your tests were correct.

12:02 <Cepheid> And then gives you a mark out of 5 for correctness/speed, and a mark out of 5 for validity of tests.

12:03 <Cepheid> I got 60/70 by the time I did my final submission.  One question I couldn't do(Depended on a theorem I didn't understand and couldn't grasp in time), and one question I couldn't get the desired efficiency.

12:03 <Cepheid> I got a 62/70 for the assignment.  So I got partial marks somewhere, or something happened.

12:04 <Cepheid> I really don't know what was going on with that efficiency question.

12:05 <Cepheid> He wanted us to read in an input line-by-line, storing it in a data structure, while avoiding storing of duplicates(This implies a set of some variation), and for each line read in, we check to see if that line is a prefix to a previously read-in line(Thus, for each line, we have to iterate over all previously stored lines).  No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to pass the test system's efficiency test.

12:06 <Cepheid> I got the correct answer using like, five different approaches, but they always overran the alotted time on one of it's test inputs, which was 2 seconds.

12:06 <Cepheid> On my own system, even in the worst test case that he suggested(1000 lines), it passed no problem.

12:08 <Cepheid> I even went above and beyond the call by implementing an absolutely insane algorithm to reduce the runtime by grouping lines of similar length together, and then only comparing against lines that the current line could potentially be a prefix of.

12:09 <Cepheid> The condition being that the previous lines must be at least of length n >= curLineLength.

12:14 <Cepheid> Hum.  Apparently the professor posted a video on youtube of the previous professor's lectures.

12:14 <Cepheid> And I think I just figured it out.

15:00 *** Parts: Quantum (uid71401@Pony-oat5lt.tooting.irccloud.com) ("")

15:01 <Thelema5> I have minor tinnitus which is the result of playing in a punk rock band without hearing protection

15:01 <Thelema5> I only notice it in very quiet settings, though

15:01 <Koopz> quiet surroundings make me mad

15:01 <Cepheid> Loud surroundings make ME mad.

15:02 <Cepheid> Especially with inconsistent levels of noise.

15:02 <Koopz> i want to wear headphones on work but i can't...

15:02 <Thelema5> Safety hazard?

15:02 <Thelema5> *hazzard

15:03 <Koopz> wut? no... "i would look like you're isolating yourself"

15:03 <Koopz> i'm a developer

15:04 <Cepheid> Yeah, headphones tend to look like isolation.  They don't consider other reasons.

15:04 <Koopz> how am i supposed to get "into the tunnel" if i'm getting distracted by constant telephone calls, questions of coworkers and bosses coming in asking other coworkers things

15:04 <Cepheid> Unless you like, have documentation detailing that you have a hearing issue that can be dealt with using headphones.  Like from a hearing center.

15:05 <Koopz> if i had the same monitor setup at home like on work i'd beg for remote working

15:05 * Cepheid sighs. "I am clearly not suited for discrete mathematics."

15:06 <DashedRainbows> Thelema5: you played in a punk rock band?

15:06 <Koopz> next month i'm moving into my first own flat... i'll reserve plenty of space to do that..

15:06 <Koopz> best thing  is the flat is not even 100m away from work

15:07 <Koopz> no more half an hour commuting

15:07 <Koopz> no more getting up at 6:45

15:08 <Cepheid> Pick five digits in sequence from a set.  Each digit must be less than the digit previously chosen, such that i1>i2>i3>i4>i5.  Determine the number of possible sequences that meet this requirement.  Whee.  I haven't got a clue.  I know what's being asked, and can implement it no problem.  Can't tell you the number of sequences, though.

15:08 <Cepheid> I'm useless.

15:09 <Cepheid> Each step is dependent on the previous step.  If you pick 9 as your first digit, the remaining set is now {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}.  If you pick 4, the remaining set is now {0,1,2,3}

15:09 <Koopz> is it... alyph null?

15:10 <Cepheid> Aleph Null hasn't been covered yet.

15:10 <Cepheid> So the question would not rely upon it.

15:10 <Koopz> digit = 0-10?

15:10 <Cepheid> 0-9 inclusive.

15:11 <Koopz> ah sorry yes

15:11 <Cepheid> Presumably, anyways.  It doesn't specify.  It makes sense that a digit would be 0-9 inclusive by definition, though.

15:11 <Cepheid> Each "step" in the process is dependent upon the previous step, implying a recursion.

15:11 <Cepheid> The function is also a one-to-one mapping.

15:12 <Cepheid> I can identify all these little details.  I just can't put them together in the form of an answer or a proof.

15:12 <Koopz> well there's 6 sets to start with...

15:12 <Cepheid> How do you figure?

15:13 <Koopz> 43210, 54321, 65432, 76543, 87654, 98765

15:13 *** Joins: Lumindia (Lumindia@is.a.miner.pony)

15:13 <Cepheid> Oh, right.

15:13 <Thelema5> DashedRainbows, yeah- way back in high school and immediately afterwards

15:13 <Koopz> and then if you begin from 5 on you'll have more than one possible sequence

15:14 <DashedRainbows> it's hard to imagine that

15:14 <DashedRainbows> heh

15:14 <Koopz> 54321, 53210, 54310...

15:14 <Cepheid> I've been starting from the highest number.  Never considered starting from the lowest possible number and counting the sequences.

15:14 *** Quits: Lumindia__ (Lumindia@Pony-lcup4h.pbg.ptd.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

15:14 <Cepheid> If I write out the sequences, there might be a visible pattern in the number of available subsets, which can lead to a formula.

15:17 <Koopz> if the third-last digit is 3, there's 21, 20, 10

15:17 <Koopz> 3 possibilities

15:17 <Koopz> to end the sequence after 3

15:20 <Cepheid> ...

15:21 * Filly_Nightmares snugglies on Koopz

15:21 * Koopz purrs

15:24 <Koopz> i count 9 possible sequences for starting with 6

15:24 <Koopz> oh wait hold on i forgot a few

15:25 <Koopz> say...

15:25 <Koopz> i have a slight feeling this has something to do with binary

15:25 <Koopz> hmm... nah... base 10

15:25 <Koopz> ah idk...

15:28 <DashedRainbows> math!

15:29 <Cepheid> I literally cannot figure it out.

15:29 <Cepheid> I'm not gonna pass this course.

15:29 <Koopz> task sounds like something you'd find on the codegolf stackexchange

15:32 <Cepheid> The professor taught us to write out the procedure in question, then break it down into individual tasks, each describing a step to take.  Thus Task 1:  pick a digit from 0 to 9.  Task 2:  pick a digit from 0 to n - 1, where n is the chosen digit from the previous task, etc, etc.

15:33 <Cepheid> First task results in 9 possible choices.  But after that it's determined by the choice made in the previous task.  It's recursive.

15:33 * Filly_Nightmares chews on Koopz

15:34 <Cepheid> Guh, I can't friggen DO this.

15:34 <Cepheid> I'm wasting my time sitting here staring at the problem.

15:37 <Koopz> well the formula for a digit basically is $possibilities = $prependingDigit -1... right?

15:38 <Cepheid> No.

15:38 <Cepheid> If I choose digit 9, then any following dit can be 0 through 8.  Fine and dandy.

15:38 <Cepheid> If I choose digit 4, any following digit can only be 0 through 3.  Even if the digits above 4 have not been chosen.

15:39 <Cepheid> So the -1 can be -3, or -2, or -8, etc.

15:41 <Schism> If (x[a] - x[a+1]) < 1, increment cnt and a?

15:42 <Schism> Er, > 0.

15:42 <Cepheid> It's not a coding issue.

15:43 <Schism> Ah right.

15:43 <Cepheid> I have to write a mathematical expression that expresses the total number of sequences d1,d2,d3,d4,d5 where each digit is less than the previous digit.

15:44 <Cepheid> I literally cannot figure this out.  I've been stuck on this problem for three days, the assignment is due tomorrow night, and I also have other problems that I cannot solve or explain.  I am not going to succeed, I'm not going to get a good mark.  And if I can't even do the first assignment, what's the point?  I won't be able to do the later ones either.

15:44 <Cepheid> As they'll depend on material I demonstrated in previous assignments.

15:44 <Cepheid> And then there's exams.  If I can't demonstrate anything leading up to them, I'm not going to succeed there either.

15:45 <Cepheid> I am wasting my time trying to figure this out.  I can't do it, I don't know why I can't do it, but I'd be better off withdrawing and trying again another time, or starting completely from scratch and taking Discrete Structures I again, then take II again after that.

15:46 <Cepheid> I don't *WANT* to do this anymore.  It causes me undue stress and forces me to focus on the problems so much at the expense of everything else I do.

15:46 <Cepheid> I don't bloody have time for a panic attack, brain.

15:48 <Cepheid> My head is starting to hurt.  =.=

15:48 <Cepheid> I can't take a break from this either.  I don't have time.

15:48 <Cepheid> If it takes me this long to solve one problem, then another problem's going to take just as much time.

16:30 <Scarlet_Harmony> What are you thinking about doing, Cepheid?

16:30 <Cepheid> I have stuff due.

16:30 <Scarlet_Harmony> Then do the stuff you need to? It makes sense.

16:31 <DashedRainbows> Rock hat

16:31 <Cepheid> Can't.  One thing that's critical and due, I can't do it.

16:31 <Scarlet_Harmony> What is it?

16:31 <DashedRainbows> This episode rocks *rimshot*

16:31 <Scarlet_Harmony> lol

16:32 <Cepheid> Discrete structures.  Something I don't understand and cannot comprehend.

16:32 <Scarlet_Harmony> Ah, too bad then. Is it a big grade for you?

16:33 <Thelema5> Can't you approach your professor for help?

16:33 <Cepheid> I'm not supposed to ask the professor, none of the TAs are available today.

16:33 <Cepheid> And again, I can ask for help one one question, that's fine.

16:33 <Cepheid> But I'm not going to bother them for the other 4 or so I can't do either.

16:33 <Cepheid> Might as well just have them give me the answers in such a case.

16:34 <Thelema5> Hmm.

16:34 <Cepheid> I don't stand a chance

16:34 <Cepheid> Might as well just give up, accept an F, and focus on what I can do.

16:35 <Cepheid> All the basic details taught in the lectures I understand.

16:35 <Cepheid> But I can't put them together to solve complex problems.

16:35 <Cepheid> I don't see recurrences.  I don't see any patterns.  I don't see any viable starting or ending point.

16:35 <Cepheid> I try something, I find out that it's the wrong way to start.  I try something else out, same thing.

16:35 <Cepheid> It's an endless vicious cycle.  I cannot do this.

16:36 <Cepheid> And since I can't do this, I can't graduate, therefore I'm useless.

16:36 <Cepheid> Because I need that special little paper that says I graduated so I can get a job.

16:36 <roflin> well maybe it's an idea, to write those attempts down, explain your thought process and why the solution won't work. You might get partial credit and they can give you targeted feedback.

16:37 <Thelema5> I'm sure it's just a question of approaching it from a different perspective.  There must be tutorials or some other resources available online.

16:37 <Thelema5> The important part is to avoid frustration because it will literally force your mind to keep focusing on the same misunderstanding

16:37 <Cepheid> I looked.  I even tried a different question to get my mind off of the one that's been bugging me.

16:37 <Cepheid> I am running into the same problem.

16:38 <Cepheid> I don't know where to start, I don't know where to end.  What I try doesn't lead to any apparent answer.

16:38 <Cepheid> In fact, it only makes the problem worse.

16:38 <Cepheid> I simply cannot do it.

16:38 <Cepheid> There's no ifs and or buts about it

16:38 <Cepheid> I lack the skill, I lack the knowledge, and I lack the ingenuity to do this topic.

16:38 <Thelema5> Wish I could help, but math is not something I understand beyond very basic arithmetic

16:38 <Cepheid> I refuse to accept anything else at this point.

16:39 <Cepheid> Because all evidence points to that.

16:39 <Cepheid> The fact that I passed my discrete structures last semester was less because I knew what I was doing and more because of a fluke,

16:39 <Cepheid> Or perhaps someone at the school taking mercy upon my level of stupidity in one topic.

16:54 <Cepheid> I don't even know where to start.

16:54 <Cepheid> And the final step of that question is to use both parts A and B to prove an equation.

16:55 <Cepheid> I tried listing out subsets that met the requirements, but I saw no recurring pattern.

16:55 * Filly_Nightmares hugs

16:56 <Cepheid> "Let k >= 1 be an integer and consider a sequence n1, n2, n3, n4, ..., nk of positive integers.  Use a combinatorial proof to show that (n1 choose 2) + (n2 choose 2) + (n3 choose 2) ... (nk choose 2) <= (n1 + n2 + n3 + ... + nk choose 2)"

16:57 <Cepheid> I don't even know what to do.

16:57 <Cepheid> And if this is the type of questions to expect in later assignments, then I don't stand a chance.

16:58 <Cepheid> I'd rather just give up and accept the F.

17:26 <Schism> We have a new roommate for a few hours, it appears.  A very excitable bishon frise.

17:28 <Cepheid> I want to admit myself to the ER, or the local medical station again.

17:29 <Ali> What's wrong Cepheid?

17:29 <Cepheid> Collapse of my mind because I'm unable to complete an assignment, even if I had infinite amount of time to do it.

17:30 * Ali understands that and brushie brushes Cepheid

17:30 <Cepheid> I have no proper way to vent about it either.  If I try to vent here, I'll just take it out on the wrong people.

17:30 <Schism> Cepheid: Sometimes we all hit a wall.  It sucks, badly, and you're also stressed as hell from starting a new semester.

17:30 <Cepheid> If I went to my dad, it'll only piss me off more because he's always proud of me regardless of whether or not I'm failing something and it's clear I'm failing.

17:31 <Cepheid> And bloody everyone refuses to acknowledge one little detail, which is pissing me off considerably.

17:31 <Schism> That you're not actually a wunderkind?

17:31 <Cepheid> No, that i'm useless.

17:31 <Cepheid> I serve no bloody purpose outside of a very small field.

17:32 <Cepheid> Anything else outside of that field, I can't do.

17:32 <Cepheid> And hey, guess what?  The one field I want to do requires exterior knowledge that I can't glean, understand or learn.

17:32 *** Joins: MrKulebyaka (MrKulebyaka@Pony-94g.pmt.241.92.IP)

17:32 <Cepheid> SO I'm useless.

17:32 * Ali pulls Cepheid over and hugs and brushies to help calm them down.

17:32 <Cepheid> No one will acknowledge this, no one wants to believe it.

17:32 <Ali> We all have those useless feelings dear.

17:32 <Cepheid> No, I have to be smart, I have to be a genius, I can learn anything.

17:32 <Cepheid> I am not, a bloody friggen genius.  I am not smart.

17:32 <Cepheid> If I was smart, I'd be able to learn this.  I'd be able to learn to ask others for help.

17:33 <Cepheid> But I can't do this, I've never been able to.

17:33 <Cepheid> Because everyone bloody sees me as some bloody friggen genius.

17:33 <Cepheid> Oh, Andrew, you're so smart, help me out here.

17:33 <Ali> Thought of taking a walk or a break to calm yourself down?

17:33 <Cepheid> Oh, Andrew, I'm amazed you got a perfect mark.

17:33 <Cepheid> ..

17:33 <MrKulebyaka> There threre it's alright

17:33 <Cepheid> It's been three hours since this started.

17:33 <Cepheid> It isn't going away

17:33 <Ali> I didn't know dear

17:33 <Cepheid> I want to yell, I want to rant, I want to punch something and break a bone.

17:34 <Cepheid> I am sick and tired of this.

17:34 <Cepheid> I just want someone to acknowledge that for once, I am not a genius.  That I'm not smart, that I'm just some random idiot who managed to slip by through sheer luck.

17:34 <Cepheid> And if I can't have that..

17:34 <Cepheid> Then I don't want to live.

17:34 <Cepheid> And given I've never gotten that, and can't get that..

17:34 <Cepheid> There's no purpose in living to me.

17:35 <Cepheid> I'd rather be dead right now.

17:35 <Schism> Cepheid, you're not a genius, certainly.  Skilled at what you do, not perfect.

17:35 <Cepheid> I an idiot.

17:35 <Cepheid> I have no real skill.

17:35 <Cepheid> I can write code, sure, great.  But what does that do for me or anyone?

17:35 <Cepheid> I haven't done anything with it.  I haven't completed any projects.

17:35 <Cepheid> And I don't even have a portfolio to work with.

17:35 <Cepheid> I'll never get a job in my field, I'll be stuck doing dead-end stuff no one else wants to do.

17:36 <Cepheid> My sister has it better than me, even though she's not doing what she wants to do.

17:36 <Schism> Then include me in that little assessment, because I have practically no marketable skills.  I've been out of work for the last most-of-a-year and I'm expecting to get a job in retail just to get the bills paid.

17:36 <Ali> Oh I've been there.

17:36 <Cepheid> I can't do anything right.

17:36 <Cepheid> I can't even live right.

17:36 <Ali> I think that's the stress talking dear.

17:36 <Cepheid> Every day I get stupid headaches, I can't tell the doctors to just fucking go in there and clean out my sinuses or something.

17:36 <Cepheid> No, I have to take round after round after round of antibiotics.

17:36 <Cepheid> I don't want to live like this.  I don't want to live at all.

17:37 <Cepheid> Of course I can't even prove this fact.

17:37 <Cepheid> I'm too fucking cowardly to even show any symptoms of it.

17:37 <Cepheid> No, I hide it all, I compress it into this little ball that just grows and grows until I lose it.

17:37 <Cepheid> I want to be bloody normal and I can't.

17:37 <Ali> Cepheid, have you been diagnosed with depression?

17:37 <Cepheid> Yes.

17:37 <Cepheid> I took my antidepressants.

17:37 <Schism> Cepheid.  You are definitely not alone in this, here.

17:37 <Cepheid> ...

17:37 <Cepheid> I got a bloody seminar I have to go to later today, and I'm really, REALLY not in any condition to do so.

17:38 <Cepheid> And it's mandatory.

17:38 * Ali brushies Cepheid, she knows this struggle.

17:38 <Cepheid> I..

17:38 <Cepheid> I just want to go to the hospital or local medical center and just punch something until they get the message.

17:38 <Cepheid> There is something wrong with me.  I want to kill myself but I can't say it.

17:38 <Schism> Take the bus back home.  Skip the seminar, tell them that you're too sick to attend.

17:38 <Ali> Cepheid, I managed to score 120+ on an IQ test

17:38 <Cepheid> I can't.

17:38 <Cepheid> If I don't go to this seminar, I fail the co-op course as well.

17:38 <Ali> What do I have to show for it?  10+ years in retail and now can't work again ever.

17:39 <MrKulebyaka> I had these feelings too

17:39 <Cepheid> ...

17:39 <Cepheid> Gods you people are just pissing me off now.

17:39 <Ali> Then step away

17:39 <Cepheid> You're doing one of the many things I don't want.

17:39 <Tempest-Shadow> Let's step back from the madness here

17:39 <Cepheid> I don't want people to try and make me feel better by telling me they know how I feel.  I know you know how I feel.

17:39 <Cepheid> Everyone goes through this in some way in their life.

17:39 <Cepheid> It's a given.

17:40 <Cepheid> What I want is for someone to actually acknowledge what the hell I'm saying.

17:40 <Cepheid> That I'm useless.

17:40 <Cepheid> That I serve no purpose.

17:40 <Cepheid> But no one will do it.

17:40 <Ali> Cause its not true

17:40 <Cepheid> I just listen and listen and listen to how people say they've felt the same way, about how they try to cheer me up, about how they aren't upset that I'm a screwup.

17:40 <Cepheid> It's the same gods damned stuff all the time.

17:40 <Ali> You're not gonna find that self driven answer you want us to say.

17:40 <Cepheid> Just give it up, you have no evidence to prove the contradictory.

17:41 <Ali> Also watch it, you're pushing your luck now dear.

17:41 <Cepheid> Oh look, someone actually threatens me because of my attitude for once.

17:41 <Cepheid> About damned time.

17:41 <Schism> Simply put: Right now, at this moment, you don't serve any purpose.

17:42 <Cepheid> I want this to stop as much as the next person.

17:42 <Ali> Cause I'm the head mod, and its starting to get out of control

17:42 <Cepheid> But no one takes me seriously.

17:43 <Tempest-Shadow> The best way to get it to stop right now is to take time off and find help outside of here

17:43 <Schism> I am serious about the both of us - the lot of us - being screwups, and at the moment, functionally useless.

17:44 <Cepheid> Whether I continue my education or not won't change anything.

17:44 <Cepheid> My parents will still be proud of me for having at least tried.

17:44 <Cepheid> No, no sadness in them because their son's a screwup.

17:44 <Cepheid> People around me won't think anything of it.

17:44 <Cepheid> Why should they?  Whether I pass or fail doesn't mean anything to them.

17:45 <Schism> Have you told your folks how pissed off you are at that?

17:45 <Cepheid> Countless times.  All I do is get is frustration from them and refusal to acknowledge anything I say.

17:45 <Cepheid> In fact my dad no longer wants to deal with me when I'm depressed.

17:46 <Cepheid> And my mother doesn't want anything to do with me when I'm depressed because of how dark I get.

17:46 <Schism> I suspect that's because you're insinuating - or rather, telling him - that he's wrong, and has been wrong...

17:46 <Cepheid> So I just keep quiet and don't say anything.

17:46 <Cepheid> I just ball it all up rather than discussing anything with them, because what's the point?

17:46 <Cepheid> They're just gonna get annoyed, or refuse to listen.

17:46 <Cepheid> And the rest?

17:47 <Cepheid> Doctors?  Psychiatrists?

17:47 <Cepheid> My doctor doesn't believe me when I say I get ideas to hurt myself.

17:47 <Schism> Wait, WHAT?

17:47 <Cepheid> The only psychiatrist the doctors keep referring me to refuse to acknowledge my existence and set up an appointment.

17:47 <Cepheid> The only way I'd ever get a response is if I walked into the ER or a medical centre of some sort, and jam a steak knife into my hand right in front of them.

17:47 <Cepheid> And I doubt even that would work.

17:48 <Cepheid> They just see my descriptions of my behaviour as a "call for help" but not from them.

17:48 <Schism> Are you kidding me?  The first psychiatrist I've seen in years asked, straightaway, "Have you had any thoughts of hurting or killing yourself or others?"  To which I reply, honestly, "Yes, but it doesn't stick."

17:48 <Cepheid> This is why I want to injure myself before going to, or being in the presence of an ER.

17:48 <Cepheid> Because without some evidence to support my case, they won't listen to me.

17:48 <Cepheid> I am sick and tired of having breakdowns, and going into such deep states that I consider offing myself.

17:49 <Cepheid> But no one wants to listen to me, and I just appear as some crying whiner to them.

17:49 <Cepheid> If I died, it'd just be a case of "We don't know what went wrong.  He seemed fine."

17:49 <Cepheid> Never mind that there is tons of evidence present, past, and at this rate, in the future as well, that suggests otherwise.

17:49 <Cepheid> My death would not go unnoticed, I know this.  People care about me.

17:50 <Cepheid> But they don't care so much as to understand that I need help.

17:50 <Cepheid> And so they don't offer assistance of any sort towards that regard.

17:50 <Cepheid> My dad especially, as he dislikes hospitals.

17:50 <Cepheid> He'd rather just cover the problem up and refuse to call an ambulance, no matter how bad I get.

17:50 <Cepheid> My dad's a coward.

17:50 <Schism> On consideration, an option may present itself.  Have you considered calling a suicide hotline?

17:50 <Cepheid> I love him, but at the same time I hate him.

17:51 <Schism> It sounds flippant, but they're there for a reason.

17:51 <Cepheid> I'd rather be put on suicide watch, as I'm not even sure I'm in full control of myself.

17:52 <Cepheid> But unless I can prove a need for such a thing, it won't happen.

17:52 <Schism> Have you tried before?

17:52 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure walking up to the ER and saying that I'd like to be put on suicide watch won't work.

17:52 <Cepheid> There'd need to be evidence of it.

17:52 <Cepheid> Something to support the need.

17:52 <Schism> First off, you've been on antidepressants in the past, correct, and have medical records saying so?

17:52 <Cepheid> And punching walls, despite potentially causing severe injuries, isn't enough.

17:52 <Cepheid> Yep.

17:53 <Schism> That alone is a marker.

17:53 <Cepheid> After this seminar, I think I might wander off to the local hospital and just see what happens.

17:53 <Cepheid> I'm at my breaking point now.

17:54 <Cepheid> This is going to happen again in a month or two's time.  And another month or two after that.  And each time I'm going to get worse and worse.

17:54 <Schism> If you have severe bouts of clinical depression like this one, you have been on antidepressants, and you present with recurring suicidal thoughts, then yes.

17:54 <Cepheid> There is something wrong with me.  More than just the depression.

17:55 <Cepheid> ... I'm gonna go talk to the seminar person and ask if I can get a leave of absence for this.

17:55 <Ali> Please do Cepheid

17:55 <Tempest-Shadow> Indeed

17:55 <Ali> We don't want you to hurt yourself.

17:56 <Schism> Yeah, pretty much what they said.  In this case, if you're entertaining suicidal thoughts, it does count as a medical emergency.

17:57 <Ali> Very much so, especially if you're on an antidepressant.

18:39 <Thelema5> Cinemablend predicts a rotten tomatoes rating of 15%, which is dismal

18:39 <DashedRainbows> I predict 60%

18:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> Including horse themed bedware. I was thinking about buying two sets (because I sleep with 2 pillows and blankets), but thought for 20 bucks seaponies in my bed might be a little too splashy.

18:44 * Thelema5 measures out 200 cm

18:44 <Starlight_Glimmer> I was thinking about getting larger ones with a length of 220 cm, but getting covers for that is a pain

18:45 <Starlight_Glimmer> So I just use two :3

18:45 <Thelema5> Makes sense

19:28 <Cepheid> I think I will.  I kind of want these episodes to stop, or at least occur with lower frequency.

19:29 <Jahnesta> Why do you think it happens?

19:30 <Cepheid> If I had to guess, genetics.  Other causes include improper treatment, environmental causes, lack of treatment of something.

19:31 <Jahnesta> I honestly don't know much about all of that, so i'm not sure how to help.. :(

19:45 <Cepheid> Some sort of warm pressure system coming through, making it hot and humid.  I'm sweating right now.

19:45 <Jahnesta> Bleh

19:46 <MrKulebyaka> I don't like when it's humid, it is really hard to handle it

20:32 <Cepheid> Nope.  Student.

20:37 <MrKulebyaka> Oh sorry, I misunderstood it.

20:39 <Cepheid> No problem.

20:50 <MrKulebyaka> It's very easy to start a new app with it. But if it is not very urgent situation it is better to choose something different. In my opinion

20:58 <Thelema5> Paqui Chips are re-releasing their Carolina Reaper tortilla chip again

20:58 <Thelema5> I've waited so long to try them, but after their initial run single chips were selling for more than $50 each on ebay

21:00 <Thelema5> They're the hotest chip every produced

21:00 <MrKulebyaka> $50 for chips. I guess they are super good

21:00 * Schism grumbles, "Bet I could make a hotter chip..."

21:00 <Thelema5> http://paqui.com/onechipchallenge/

21:01 <Thelema5> Nah, they're not good MrKulebyaka... they are just very spicy and their marketing challenge went viral last year

21:01 <Thelema5> Their stock sold out in a matter of days so people began reselling them online at inflated prices.  I mean, they're super expenisive to begin with at $5 PER CHIP

21:02 <Thelema5> But really, you're paying for the experience and for bragging rights XD

21:03 <MrKulebyaka> I like spicy food. I need to try to get them :)

21:04 <Thelema5> They're only selling them on their website this time.  Last year they sold them at retail outlets and I think there were a few legal complications when people bought them not really understanding what they were getting into.

21:04 <Thelema5> By limiting sales to their website only they can get customers to sign a waiver.

21:06 <Thelema5> It's a bit annoying they they're not allowing preorders.

21:07 <MrKulebyaka> people on the video are going crazy, even crying. That must be extremly hot stuff

21:08 <Thelema5> It is, yeah.

21:09 <Thelema5> I was super disappointed that I missed out last time they were released so there's no way I'm going to miss it again.

21:09 <Thelema5> XD

21:22 <Cepheid> Yes.  I've also been given an appointment to see a counselor/psychiatrist next week to further investigate what is going on.

21:22 <Schism> That right there is excellent news.

21:22 <Schism> You did hit up the hospital then?

21:24 <Cepheid> No.  They just handled me at the local counseling services.  When I spoke to the prof she called a counsellor and security. They took care of me until I calmed down, then escorted me to a counselor that rushed me ahead of other people to take care of me.

21:25 <Cepheid> Then I got the appointment.  I was advised to go home as well, but the time I finally calmed down and was allowed to leave it was 3 pm.  Bad idea to catch a bus then.

21:25 <Cepheid> So I just stuck around for my last lecture so my dad can pick me up later.

21:26 <Schism> Was that last lecture a bit less stressful than usual?

21:26 <Cepheid> Web Apps.   Easy peas.

21:26 <Cepheid> Er peasy *

21:26 <Schism> Sounds like the kind of thing you needed after an emotional spike like that.

21:28 <Cepheid> Mmm.   As for the assignment, I was glad video to ask for an extension but due to the way the prof is releasing assignment answer sheets he couldn't.   His alternative was to take the average of the three remaining assignments instead.  Now that my head is clear....

21:28 <Cepheid> I just opted to hand in the assignment come hell or high water.  Even if I submit a page with a smiley face on it.

21:29 <Schism> I think your head's not clear yet, but it's getting there.  I also suspect that the professor would be happier if you submitted a page of pseudocode detailing how you'd handle such a thing.

21:30 <Schism> Might not be logic in that sense, but it'd be better than nothing, and he might just get a kick out of it.

21:30 <Cepheid> Except it's discrete structures.  No code.  I'll just do what I can and submit that.

21:30 <Cepheid> Or at least show the direction I was heading.  Or where I got locked up.

21:30 <Schism> You honestly sound like you've had a huge weight lifted off your shoulders.

21:31 <Schism> Or maybe see if your prof has office hours, and ask him about it?

21:32 <Schism> Find the stopping point, and all that.

21:32 <Cepheid> He just directed me to the TA instead.  I'll bug one tomorrow at 10 am.

21:36 <Cepheid> I have not done the containment bays yet.  I cannot find time to game much.

21:36 <Cepheid> The professor is having trouble explaining the Javascript version of 'this'.

21:36 <Schism> If you'd like to do so, I'd be happy to assist.  They're... about an hour apart, gameplay-and-story wise.

21:37 <Schism> 'this' is... linguistically, it's a pointer.  Do 'x' with 'this'.

21:38 <Schism> Or send this to that.

21:38 <Schism> Send Who to First, that sort of thing.

21:38 <Cepheid> In Javascript it is a nightmare.

21:39 <Cepheid> It refers either to the global variable names pace,  memory allocated with 'new', or anything the dev feels like.

21:40 * Schism looks at the Mozilla development uses for 'this' in Javascript, and his brain melts.

21:41 <Schism> ... one thing, though, Cepheid, which you have to admit in regards to that function.

21:41 <Schism> The 'this' function if you would.

21:41 <Cepheid> Heh.

21:42 <Schism> They certainly managed, in one snarl and tangle, to encapsulate the entire English language.

21:50 <Schism> Cepheid: So, in short, the professor is having a hard time explaining it because it doesn't really have an explanation.  XD

21:51 <Cepheid> Yes

21:52 <Schism> And yet he'll stick to the explanation provided in the books for the homework... *sigh*

21:56 <Schism> Sorry, need to flop for a bit, will be back shortlyish.
