00:54 <Thelema5> The US tradition of "Thanksgiving" is a harvest festival, where everyone celebrates the bounty of the harvest by eating lots of great stuff before the long winter famine

00:55 <Thelema5> As such, families gather and feast, usually with every member contributing a dish or two

00:56 <Thelema5> It's really the only time I actually meet up with my father and his partner, awful people I can't usually stand

01:28 <Hat> Not everything has to be solved. At least be unhappy if that's how it is going to be. No point in denying your own reality. Just learn it.

08:28 <Tirek> Greetings.

08:28 *** Joins: Pi (Mibbit@Pony-pbf.ute.94.119.IP)

08:29 <ConfusionRift> Hola!

08:30 <Tirek> 47 words now.

08:30 <Tirek> All the new words are grammatical tense particles for verbs.

08:31 <Tirek> Of which there's the three chronological tenses, habitual tense, perfect tense, continuous tense, progressive tense, anticipative tense, desiring tense, and negation

08:32 <Tirek> You'd never want to use all of them, obviously, but if you tried, you might get a sentence that looks like this: "\nomen \tson /len /pa /ta |su \no \ji \ni |nye"

08:32 <Tirek> Which means "Habitually, I am expecting to and am wanting to will have not been sleeping while not being asleep"

08:36 <ConfusionRift> You then had been but were it refrigerator hummus rando jingle jangle.

08:38 <ConfusionRift> I talk bueno.

08:40 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, that's like redundantly reduntant.

08:40 <ConfusionRift> *redundant

08:44 <Tirek> Using every tense just spits out garbage, yeah.

08:45 <Tirek> Though, even with tense particles, if you provide enough context through conversation, in a lot of cases, you won't need to provide any tenses to precisely define what you mean.

08:48 <Tirek> I still need to figure out how I want to do nouns and such.

08:48 <Tirek> And whether or not we'll use adjectives, or just drop adjectives in favor of using nouns like adjectives as well.

08:54 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmm.

08:58 <ConfusionRift> I think that adding adjectives might make it more complex, then again would also make it more detailed.

08:59 *** Tempo is now known as Tempo-Sleep

09:00 <Tirek> In a few constructed languages I know, a noun also is an adjective.

09:00 <Tirek> So you would just put the modifier noun after the base noun to indicate that.

09:01 *** Quits: rhg135 (uid13850@Is.Ponying.Around) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)

09:12 <ConfusionRift> That's rather odd.

09:13 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait, no. It does make sense.

09:16 <Tirek> The way I'd see it working is having an adjective particle that comes after the string of modifier nouns so as not to confuse with the sentence object.

09:17 <Tirek> Or something like that.

09:17 *** Quits: Heartbreak (Heartbreak@Pony-gja4ce.mn.comcast.net) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

09:18 <Tirek> Or maybe a particle that denotes the beginning of the subject/object.

09:18 <Tirek> Something that'd only be necessary if adjective nouns are used in that sentence at all.

09:20 <Tirek> I might also end up using nouns to take the place of adverbs too.

09:40 <Tirek> You don't really realize it until you're making one up.

09:43 <ConfusionRift> It is, it really is.

09:45 <ConfusionRift> Many think that making a language is more of making noises and trying to make a foundation with matchsticks and plastic. It's more to that with grammar coherence, structure, accents, etc.

09:49 <Koopz> and emotions

09:50 <Koopz> do the Elcor of Mass Effect o3o prepend every sentence with how you feel because you can't express feelings otherwise

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Organized chaos, babeh. :P

10:34 <Fn> Tirek, lojban treats everything as a verb and only adds la ... ku as denotion for a noun

10:34 *** Quits: Reia (Reia@TheCowPony) (Quit: Nini ponies... love you all...)

10:34 <Fn> In lojban "a book" is literally "is book"

10:34 <Fn> Makes for a very consistently universal grammar

10:35 <Fn> No need to have any other rules besides for verbs

10:35 <Fn> Also in a few other conlangs there are cases where nouns and adjectives are not distinguished at all

10:36 <Fn> It really works: {red as a noun} == {red as a property}

10:36 <Fn> It's just we are used to distinguish those

10:36 <Fn> Habits die hard

10:37 <Fn> Heck, even lojban could not avoid contracting an unnecessary attribute from a natlang

10:38 <Fn> It has distinction for transitive-intransitive verbs, which is completely and utterly unnecessary for a conlang

10:38 <Fn> If it has a subject it becomes transitive, if not, then it is intransitive!

10:42 <Tirek> Right, I was looking at lojban for a bit.

10:46 <Tirek> Anyway, time to snooze.

11:02 <Schism> Those loot boxes might as well be gambling... interesting that they were ruled as such, though.

11:02 <Ali> Well you're paying money for random junk

11:22 <Fn> EA selling a game for $60, tacking in "Premium" on it for some extra $60 and still selling loot boxes which are not that different to microtransactions

11:22 <Fn> Too greedy. Too far.

11:23 <Fn> Oh and DLCs that are just subtracted content of the whole game too

11:24 <Schism> Day 0 DLC, yeah.

11:24 <Schism> "Oh, but games are too expensive to create, these days."

11:26 <Fn> DLC used to be a themed add-on. Something you get extra

11:27 <Fn> When you have 3 guns in a game and two of them can be found only in DLC... that is kinda scummy

11:28 <Fn> Especially since most DLC guns usually have some advantageous edge over base gun

11:28 <Schism> Indeed.  Or when the basic game is maybe half of it, and most of the content is found in a variety of $10 add-ons.

11:29 <Fn> The way Planetside2 does it is much more fair

11:29 <Fn> You can get better guns /only/ through grinding the assignments

11:29 * Schism nods, "With cosmetics and the like provided via microtransactions?"

11:30 <Fn> The guns you can pay for money are easier to use, but by no means stronger

11:30 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh, how about this. Let's put a tiny piece of code that blocks off specific content already in the game, and then sell that piece of code that opens them up as DLC.

11:30 <Chaosweaver> Oh, like Mass Effect 3 did?

11:30 <Fn> In fact, pay guns are actually worse in Planetside2

11:30 <Schism> ConfusionRift: Ooh, and even better, you can make all that content self-evident as a 1 GB blob!

11:31 <ConfusionRift> Chaosweaver: Capcom. That is all.

11:31 <ConfusionRift> Yarp!

11:31 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

11:31 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about EA CEO John Riccitiello On Gaming Microtransactions

11:31 <Chaosweaver> Former CEO but, hey.

11:33 <ConfusionRift> Woooow. Hahahaaa!

11:34 <Fn> Getting cosmetic items for money is fine by me

11:34 <ConfusionRift> Go to fight a boss type, gets KOed a few times, finally beats him. Activated him again by accident, goes completely reckless, beats him in one try.

11:35 <Schism> ConfusionRift: Hehe.  More Hollow Knight?

11:35 <ConfusionRift> Yep. Getting to some of them pesky dream warriors.

11:39 <ConfusionRift> The game basically forces you to fight them at a certain point in the game.

16:49 <CladdaghRing> Yeah I saw those in a shop once. They looked neat. I'm attracted to colourful sets of things like a magpie to wedding rings. However I also don't read comic books and don't know anything about Green Lantern so I saved my money.

17:02 * Cepheid flops.

17:02 * Cepheid flails as well.

17:04 <Cepheid> I have a crazy plan I'd like to do one day.

17:04 <ADragonHoarding> jump jive and wail?

17:05 <Cepheid> Nah.

17:06 <Cepheid> See, there's an official foot trail that goes all the way from one end of Canada to the other.  Of course this is crazy to traverse in one go, so I'll settle for a subset of it.  From Ottawa to the border between Ontario and Manitoba.  4,136.5 kilometers.  I want to walk the entirety of it.

17:10 <Cepheid> Making the assumption that a person walks 3.1 kilometers an hour on average, and spends 16 hours a day walking, it would take a little over 83 days to complete.

17:16 <ADragonHoarding> apparently average walking speed is 3.1 miles per hours, or 5 kph

17:16 <ADragonHoarding> you'd want to clock yourself over the course of a day to get an idea of the time it would take for you, but

17:16 <Cepheid> Google lied to me.  =3=

17:16 <Cepheid> True.

17:16 <ADragonHoarding> I think you misread google

17:16 <ADragonHoarding> because I also got those results from google

17:17 <Cepheid> So I did.

17:17 <Cepheid> Meh.

17:17 <Cepheid> Point is, it'd take a while.

17:17 <Cepheid> Probably 2-3 months.

17:18 <ADragonHoarding> assuming 16 hours/day (probably optimistic)

17:18 <ADragonHoarding> 51 days

17:18 <Cepheid> Indeed.

17:18 <ADragonHoarding> I'd say 14 hours would be more likely, given rest times and eating

17:18 <Cepheid> It's probably more optimistic to say about 12 hours, since you need time to wake up, get ready, time to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and time to set up the tent at night.

17:18 <ADragonHoarding> 14 if you're pushing, yes.

17:19 <Cepheid> It'd still be fun regardless.

17:20 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, going the entire path across Canada, would optimistically take a full year.

17:22 <Librarian> owo

17:22 <Cepheid> The rounded distance is 24,000 kilometers.

17:23 <Cepheid> Assuming a more leisurely pace of 3.1 kilometers, 12 hours a day, you're looking at 1.75 years.

17:23 <Librarian> i got tired just looking at the number owo

17:24 <Cepheid> Assuming average speed of 5 kilometers an hour..

17:24 <Cepheid> 1.09 years.

17:24 <Librarian> one would get robbed sooo many times traversing that distance in mexico

17:25 <Cepheid> I was about to stop reading after the "robbed" until I continued reading and finishing the sentence and realizing you meant in Mexico.

17:25 <Cepheid> In Canada, getting robbed is possible, but at a much lower frequency I would think.

17:26 <Cepheid> Plus, I'm pretty sure if I attempted the full walk across Canada, I'd probably blog it, and have a gofundme going just to ensure that I always have at least enough money to catch a flight home should something happen.

18:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Last Call for Musicians - Bronies for Good Charity Album: A Healing Touch [ http://tinyurl.com/ycy54ug3 ]

18:01 <Librarian> my dreams are dull

18:04 <Cepheid> This one involved four people, with myself "watching" over them.  It started off with the four people in the hallway, three of them looked like they had rushed in to rescue the fourth.  Behind them, the door to the hallway had been sealed shut by what appeared to be a brick wall that spontaneously appeared.  This is where things get weird.

18:06 <Cepheid> The walls, floor and ceiling began to split apart into segments, and began shifting at various speeds.  The segments the people touched would proceed to move much more quickly and attempt to crush anything between the segment they touched, and the segment opposite from itself.  The whole hallway, including any offshoots ahead, appeared to be some sort of gauntlet that was trying to crush and kill the four, for some reason.

18:07 <Librarian> sounds like symbolysm for something

18:07 <Cepheid> That said, they weren't 100% effective.  The group of four had the strength to push back against the segments, and stop their crushing behaviour, albiet temporarily.

18:07 <Librarian> no idea what, not my area

18:08 <Cepheid> So the four of them made their way down the hallway.  About halfway down, one of them separates from the group and goes down a side passage.  Later on, that person returns with someone in tow.  Continue down the hallway, and they reach this absolutely massive room, with an exit on the far side.

18:09 *** Joins: Double (double@Pony-40o5q9.adsl-surfen.hetnet.nl)

18:10 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, the segments of the floor, ceiling and walls here were much, much faster, and imparted greater force.  So the group of five couldn't really hold still for very long.  In fact, they all got split up as they traversed the room.  At one point, the one that was "rescued" from somewhere got caught in a bad place.  Despite their efforts, they get killed.  Weirdness factor jumps by one or two points at this point

18:10 <Cepheid> in the dream.

18:11 <Librarian> how can you even remember so much?

18:11 <Cepheid> Hell if I know.

18:11 <Librarian> i barely rember if i dreamed at all

18:12 <Cepheid> In any case, the new twist is that each of these moving segments appears to be a living thing.  They're living traps that react to anything they consider to be food touching them.  Unfortunately things accelerate at this point.  After a bit of mourning, the four of them rush to escape the hell they're in, and make it.

18:16 <ADragonDreaming> Yes, but cat lovers are all people

18:17 <Librarian> it was so nice

18:21 <Cepheid> In any case, I imagine my dreams are just the result of random brain neurons firing for no apparent reason, creating imagery that's designed to freak me out more than anything else.

18:23 <Nibbs> Confirmed that cepheid is crazy cat nan

18:24 * Cepheid is a piece of bread shaped like a cat.

18:24 <Librarian> im trying to get the proprotions right by memory, the eyes came out freaky

18:26 <Nibbs> Eheh they did nibbs thinks its cause the head might by a little long.

18:26 <Nibbs> Good drawing though grawr

18:27 <Cepheid> A man is apparently planning to launch himself into the sky on a steam-based rocket to prove that the world is flat.

18:27 <Cepheid> I think the only thing he's going to prove is that gravity kills.

18:27 <ADragonDreaming> Well.

18:28 <ADragonDreaming> More power to him.

18:28 <Librarian> steam power, he will need it

18:28 <Nibbs> Cepheid: yeah just saw that earlier kek

18:28 <Cepheid> Apparently it's not the first time he launched such a rocket either.

18:29 <Nibbs> That's more impressive

18:29 <Cepheid> He did it before, and it crashed hard to the ground because the parachute was terrible.

18:29 <Cepheid> Alas, he survived.

18:29 <Nibbs> So if he dies does that prove NASA assasination and coverup?

18:30 <Nibbs> Or should Nibbs say aNASAnation

18:30 <ADragonDreaming> it will probably be claimed as such, yes.

18:31 <Nibbs> :3 ya, and for you space people how far would he have to get into the air to prove curve of the earth by the naked eye?

18:32 <ADragonDreaming> i dunno, how high up was that HALO jump dude?

18:32 <Cepheid> Getting that high up wouldn't prove it to flat-earthers.

18:33 <Nibbs> It wouldnt...

18:33 <Cepheid> They'd just argue that the earth is a disc-shaped object.

18:33 <ADragonDreaming> might to him!

18:33 <Cepheid> A flat, disc-shaped object.

18:33 <Nibbs> Getting to the moon would prove it though.

18:33 <ADragonDreaming> no it wouldn't, we've been there.

18:33 <Nibbs> Nibbs hopes...

18:33 <Cepheid> Even then.  The Earth would look like a flat disc to the flat-earther.

18:33 <Nibbs> ADragonDreaming: him getting there nibbs means

18:33 <Cepheid> Why do you speak in third person?

18:34 <ADragonDreaming> nah, he might change his mind, the rest wouldn't

18:34 <Nibbs> So the real question is... What if he proves it's a disk?

18:34 <ADragonDreaming> "They got to him!"

18:34 <ADragonDreaming> Then it's a disc.

18:34 <Nibbs> True

18:34 <ADragonDreaming> and we need to destroy the government.

18:34 <ADragonDreaming> but he won't, becasue it isn't.

18:34 <Nibbs> Cepheid: nibbs likes to *shrugs*

18:35 <Nibbs> If the world is a disk... Nibbs would be pretty pissed grawr!

18:35 <Nibbs> But nibbs is like 99.9999999% it's not a disk.

18:35 <Nibbs> Or flat

18:36 <Cepheid> The only way to prove it's not flat, would be to place someone in a spot in space where they can see the Earth, but do not orbit it in any way.

18:36 <Cepheid> So they can watch the planet do a full 360 degree rotation.

18:37 <Nibbs> That's true... But they have no way of proving they are the ones that are rotating vs the earths rotation

18:37 <Cepheid> If it was flat, then once the planet has rotated 90 degrees, you see for certain that it is flat.

18:37 <Cepheid> If it was the person rotating about the earth, I think the same problem would occur, actually.

18:37 <Nibbs> But unless they believe that light bends so that from any angle you see only a sectio of the disk

18:37 <Cepheid> Once you get "perpendicular" to the planet relative to where you started, you'd just see a vertical line.

18:38 <Nibbs> Nibbs hopes the guy does well and learns something while at it.

18:38 <Cepheid> Nibbs:  At which point I'd have to investigate the person themselves, as while I don't think they are stupid from the get-go, I do believe there exists the potential for a mental illness that is as-yet undiscovered.

18:39 <Cepheid> Perhaps one where their brain is incapable of perceiving certain visual artefacts.

18:39 <Nibbs> Ehehehe flat earthers believe in all kinds of bendin of the light that they make up to account for discrepencies

18:39 <Cepheid> Brain's a finicky thing.  Wouldn't surprise me if there's a mental illness that prevents people from perceiving depth.

18:40 <Nibbs> Someone who's smart just trolling them by making up 'physics' that make flat earth possible

18:42 <Cepheid> There is that, too.

18:43 <Nibbs> Grawr

18:44 <Nibbs> They'll get to the point where they have their own flat earth laws, that work out exactly the same but always have to do mathmateical corrections and such to make it equal what it should be

18:44 <Nibbs> Pretty much overcomplicate it and get the same result

18:45 <ADragonHoarding> The main thing to do

18:45 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (IceChat9@Pony-lej.e7q.56.172.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

18:45 <ADragonHoarding> is ignore them.

18:45 <Nibbs> Mhm

18:45 <Nibbs> Nibbs agrees

18:45 <Nibbs> Ignoring people is just the right and kind thing to do

18:45 <ADragonHoarding> If someone tries to engage you, you just turn them away: "Your arguments are not convincing and do not represent good science or good scientific methods. I have no interest in discussing this with you."

18:46 <ADragonHoarding> "Please write me off as a lost cause, as I have done the same for you."

18:46 <ADragonHoarding> And then you're done.

18:46 <Nibbs> They'll ask me and Nibbs will just act like they don't exist unless they give nibbs candy and fruit

18:48 <Cepheid> I'd just look at them with a blank stare and leave.  Less likely that something will be said that pushes the big red button on my brain.

18:48 <Nibbs> Nibbs likes to catch stars on fire o3o

18:50 <Cepheid> Not so much that I'm crazy, I just seem to lack impulse control.  My counselor is looking into a drug to put me on to help deal with it.

18:50 <Cepheid> At which point maybe then I can discuss things with people and not want to stab them 27 times in the back.

18:51 <Nibbs> Nibbs thinks you should just talk with more peoples then

18:53 <Nibbs> Dun take drugs

18:53 <Cepheid> That would not be a good idea.  Lack of impulse control means that if something aggravates or depresses me even the slightest bit, my brain goes immediately from 0 to 100 in a fraction of a second.  It's the difference between calmly discussing something one second, and being enraged and yelling the next second.  It doesn't make me look good at all.

18:53 <Cepheid> It's been an ongoing mental health issue for as long as I can remember.

18:54 <Nibbs> Oh o.o do you feel the same on here?

18:55 <Nibbs> Like if Nibbs says somethjng you don't like can you impulse control?

18:55 <Cepheid> More or less.

18:55 <Cepheid> ADragonHoarding, and a few others can vouche for it.

18:56 <Nibbs> Is it easier on here?

18:56 <Cepheid> So if a discussion about something controversial starts up here, and I'm active, you won't see me take part in the conversation for the sake of keeping things in relative order.

18:56 <Cepheid> No.

19:07 <Cepheid> The professor's strike was ended via back-to-work legislation, and it's looking like negotiations are going to binding arbitration.

19:07 <Cepheid> As neither side in the negotiations wants to talk to the other.

19:07 <Cepheid> Aside from a vote on a contract two weeks ago, they've mostly been in a state of "We're not going to talk."

19:07 <Nibbs> o3o sounds... Intense

19:08 <Cepheid> The professors want more control over the program layouts and course times, because a lot of them are working part-time, and have to take on extra jobs to make ends meet.

19:08 <Cepheid> Among other things.

19:08 <Cepheid> But the colleges won't allow it, won't budge, and are being as stubborn as the professors are.

19:09 <Cepheid> Up until yesterday, the strike had been going on for six weeks.

19:10 <Cepheid> That cat is happy if you so much as look at him.

19:10 <Cepheid> Nibbs:  As stated, the semester was extended another month and a half.

19:10 <Ali> Heh, I get to go look at some kittehs this weekend

19:10 <Cepheid> The next semester resultantly was pushed back a month and a half.

19:11 <Nibbs> Ah...

19:11 <Cepheid> If students opt to drop out this semester, they get a full refund as well.

19:11 <Ali> There's these two adorable kittens but they're both from the same litter

19:11 <Cepheid> While those that stick to it get $500-$1000 depending on their situation.

19:11 <Nibbs> Will they ever be able to get it back on trak the semensters?

19:11 <Cepheid> They will.

19:11 <Cepheid> The summer period is usually not a full semeseter.

19:11 <Ali> I'm kinda thinking we might have to get both cause they might of already bonded and I feel bad leaving one alone without the other.

19:11 <Nibbs> Okay o3o sounds lane though...

19:11 <Nibbs> Lame

19:11 <Cepheid> It is, for the students.

19:12 <Nibbs> Yeah

19:12 <Cepheid> I understand the concerns of the professors, but ye know, the students should have a say in things too, especially after it goes on so long.

19:12 <Nibbs> Start goin on strike against the professors x3 that'll solve it more strikes hehhee

19:12 <Cepheid> That said, because of the stubbornness of both sides, binding arbitration's being used.  Basically what that means is that a third party looks at what both sides want, along with the situation on both sides, and constructs a contract based on that.

19:13 <Cepheid> There's no vote on the contract.  If you didn't get what you wanted, tough luck.

19:13 <Cepheid> Nibbs:  In Toronto, students were setting up to do a class-action lawsuit against the colleges of Ontario.

19:13 <Nibbs> Ahh..

19:14 <Cepheid> Under the argument that the contracts between the colleges and students has been violated because the colleges were not providing them with the education that they paid for in advance.

19:20 <Cepheid> Perhaps.  But you need that piece of paper for many jobs.

Acedia - Academia?  Luxuria - Luxurious living, etc?  Avaritia is obvious.  Avarice, so a trading guild.

20:06 <Cepheid> As for the names of each region: Avaritia - The Argentum Trading Guild. Gula - Imperial Province of Gormott.  Invidia - The Kingdom of Uraya. Superbia - The Empire of Mor Ardain. Acedia - The Indoline Praetorium. Luxiria - The Kingdom of Tantal.

20:07 <Pony|3220> Hi Cepheid

20:07 <Cepheid> Schism:  Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.  Seven Deadly Sins.

20:07 *** Pony|3220 is now known as Hal0

20:07 <Cepheid> Hard to confirm though, as the English website has more titans revealed than the Japanese website.

20:07 <Cepheid> There are 8 titans on the English website.  6 on the Japanese website.

20:07 <Schism> Hal0: Welp, we're certainly not going anywhere!

20:08 <Cepheid> There's actually one named titan on the English website.  Temperantia.

20:08 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the last Titan that is unnamed, is actually a collection of Titans that are connected by bridgework.

20:09 <Cepheid> ...

20:09 * Cepheid twitches.

20:09 <Schism> Cepheid: Hmm.  Well, that sounds like wrath.

20:09 <Cepheid> I once had a dream about a world that lived above the cloud layer.

20:09 <Schism> And also, hum.  Acedia is closer to 'apathy' than 'sloth'.

20:09 <Cepheid> This entire "world" takes place on Titans that live upon or in a cloud sea.

20:10 <Cepheid> Schism:  What is Elesyium supposed to represent?  When I read the name, I usually think of paradise, or something akin to it.

20:11 <Cepheid> Hum, that's a term that is derived from Greek Mythology.  Seems like this game is drawing a lot from Greek and Roman Mythology.

20:11 <Schism> That is generally the classical metaphor, yeah.

20:12 <Cepheid> More from Greek Mythology than other mythologies.  I mean, Pandoria, and a few other references I forgot already.

20:14 <Cepheid> That said, it is very hard to determine where they are going with the game.  Xenoblade, only after you finish it, makes sense in the long run.  Sort of.

20:44 <Jahnesta> Cus AI is getting crazy nowadays

20:45 <Cepheid> AI is not as advanced as depicted in the videos, Jahnesta.

20:45 <Jahnesta> Don't have sound :(

20:45 <Jahnesta> No?

20:45 <Cepheid> It's just a person with voice acting skills(Or that's her real voice, one or the other) who's using motion capture tech to animate the model.

20:46 <Cepheid> It's not this advanced.

20:46 <rhg135> I'm lonely, man

20:46 <Librarian> i can understand bro

20:47 <Librarian> i gave up on love , just have my ambition now

20:47 <rhg135> I need to try that

20:48 <Cepheid> I have no interest in a relationship.  I too have given up, but for different reasons.

20:48 <Cepheid> I just don't want someone around me 24/7.  My cats are enough.

20:48 <rhg135> People scare me though

20:48 <Cepheid> I can't stand the presence of people for too long, and the louder they are, the less inclined I am to stick around.

20:48 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, almost everyone around me appears to be going deaf for some reason.

20:48 <Cepheid> As a usual conversation with them devolves to really loud talking.

20:51 <rhg135> Not even a romantic relationship just, man, being alone all the time sucks

20:53 <Cepheid> I deal with *THAT* via cats.

20:53 <Cepheid> And talking to you people.

20:54 <Jahnesta> :3

20:56 <rhg135> I guess I want more.

20:56 <Cepheid> The physical aspect of socializing is too draining on me.  Either because I expend too much energy trying to listen to conversations, or because I expend too much energy trying to not go deaf from conversations in large groups.

20:57 <rhg135> By alone I'm mainly referring to things like in face to face life

20:57 <Cepheid> I regularly have issues at school where my right ear just "stop working" so to speak.  All input noise is replaced by a white static noise.

20:59 <rhg135> Facing your fears, as they say, is really hard alone.

22:32 <Snapai> squint muscle.

22:32 <Librarian> we have that?

22:32 <Snapai> orbicularis = "goes around", oculi = "the eye"

22:32 <Snapai> Though, I mean- even the zygomatic major, which is responsible for smiling the corners of the mouth, attaches to the cheekbone and tends to bunch up the face in that direction.

22:33 <Snapai> face muscles!

22:33 <Snapai> Zygomatic major is highlighted, but you can see the squint muscle too

22:34 <Snapai> A lot of muscles are named after latin terms that mean plain things. I don't know what zygomatic means tho'

22:35 <Snapai> But like....levator labii superioris, depressor labii inferioris...literally "raise top lip" "lower bottom lip"

22:35 <Snapai> orbicularis oris is what compresses your mouth...
