04:03 <Thelema5> So funny story, I needed to source a vegan worchestershire sauce and found a good candidate called "Wan Ja Shan" which I assumed to be an exotic asian import. Ordered it online, and received it a week later. Looked at the label: Produced in Middletown, NY. About a 45 minute drive from me.
04:03 <Thelema5> Doh!
04:05 <Thelema5> The upside is that it's rather tasty and was inexpensive.

06:23 <PinkieShy> Do you think its worth keeping this PC thats MSRP is only really $779 which the final pay off would be $2000?
06:23 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know what MSRP?
06:23 <Schism> It's good to have confirmation that I'm actually in a Mel Blanc production.
06:23 <PinkieShy> the $2000 is aarons lease agreement fees and everything added together.
06:24 <PinkieShy> Schism is it a waste of money you think the real price this PC is worth is only that much.
06:24 <Schism> Did we not warn you, way ahead of time, that this would be exactly the case? No, best to buy a device in and of itself.
06:24 <PinkieShy> What does that mean tho
06:24 <Schism> Further, the box itself will depreciate over time, so that by the time you're done paying that off, it'll only be worth $400.
06:25 <PinkieShy> Schism HP only put a 300w psu in this machine.
06:25 <Schism> Throw it back.
06:25 <Schism> Call it a learning experience and just return the cursed thing.
06:26 <Schism> Frankly, putting an $800 MSRP on a box with a 300w PSU is an insult in and of itself.
06:27 <RazorSharpFang> I still don't know what MSRP is
06:27 <Schism> And when Cepheid wakes up in 10 minutes from heatstroke, he'll back me up.
06:27 <Schism> Manufacturer's suggested retail price.
06:27 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmm.
06:27 <RazorSharpFang> And you're leasing a <$800 item?
06:28 <Schism> They're leasing a $500 item at $800 with an APR of 25%.
06:29 <Schism> Throw. The damned. Thing. Back.
06:29 <RazorSharpFang> I don't get leasing products if you're not a large-scale business.
06:30 <PinkieShy> Schism no its not 25% apr
06:30 <PinkieShy> If you calculate the MSRP value they list
06:30 <Schism> No, it's higher. THROW. THE BOX. BACK.
06:30 <PinkieShy> and their leasing fees and more..
06:30 <PinkieShy> Its 90% apr
06:30 <Schism> Give it back! Give it back! Before you get stuck with it, GIVE IT BACK!
06:30 <RazorSharpFang> 300W isn't much.
06:30 <Schism> 300w isn't crap!
06:31 <RazorSharpFang> Might cause problems with trying to browse the web on a CLI
06:31 <Schism> Might cause problems opening the command prompt in safe mode.

06:46 <Schism> PinkieShy got taken for a ride, we're convincing them to pack the damned thing right back up.
06:46 <ConfusionRift> What exactly though?
06:46 <Schism> An $800 piece of metal and plastic which has a 300w PSU.
06:47 * ConfusionRift spittakes.
06:47 <Schism> And a 90% APR.
06:48 <ConfusionRift> Question. Is this from one of them rental centers?
06:48 <Schism> You have a keen eye, sir. Yes.
06:50 <ConfusionRift> The point of those are so you can build credit faster, and to get something immediately, while being able to make payments for it. Alas, NOTHING they offer is at a good price or within good quality. For this, they compensate by charging you a stupid premium. For the most part, one pays 25% to 100% more than just saving and buying it later.
06:51 <ConfusionRift> Of course, elsewhere.
06:51 <PinkieShy> schism one thing to the tower doesn't feel all plastic.
06:51 <PinkieShy> err it don't feel plastic.
06:51 <PinkieShy> It feels all metal lol
06:51 <Schism> Aluminium is cheap.
06:51 <Schism> PinkieShy: You're not stupid, please don't take this as any claim that you might be. These people prey upon those in need. But honest to goodness. Head to a CVS if you need a throwaway box. They'll give you a craptop for $300 or thereabouts which works as a general surfing and playing device.
06:52 <PinkieShy> I need something that does VRCHAT
06:52 <Schism> In honest fact, a cheapo aluminium or sheet metal box is maybe $2 to manufacture.
06:52 <PinkieShy> I love that game so much.. I don't want to go without it lol
06:53 <ConfusionRift> My cheapo chinesium tower case cost me $20, and it's metal sheeting. Terrible quality, but durable.
06:53 <Schism> So's long as it has enough space that there's some airflow in there, you don't need anything special.
06:54 <Schism> PinkieShy. ... if that 300w box does VRChat, I will be not only surprised, but amply dismayed.
06:54 <ConfusionRift> I can't put any large GPUs.
06:54 <ConfusionRift> It has to be a compact one, which cost more.
06:55 <Schism> CR: If you play your cards right, though, you can put a Gamecube or three in there.
06:56 * ConfusionRift patpats his PC. "I was able to fit a GTX1050ti, but goodness is it a tight fit.
06:56 <Schism> TI branch, that'll work for ya. Yee, tho.
06:56 <RazorSharpFang> Is it a security risk for users to see their own (and only their own) password hash?
06:56 <Schism> Yes.
06:56 <RazorSharpFang> Run me through the logic for that, if you can
06:57 <ConfusionRift> It's not hardware breaking, but it leaves with a desire for more room.
06:57 <Schism> It's probably a minute one, if that, but it's still a security risk, because any piece of information you give to the client or make publicly available is in and of itself a security risk.
06:57 <Schism> They don't need to see their password hash. Therefore, don't give it to them.
06:58 <RazorSharpFang> Ah yes, the classic rule - minimal everything, do-not-trust, etc.
06:58 <Schism> Precisely. And yeah, I'm paranoid.
06:59 <ConfusionRift> In any case. VRCHAT requires as minimum an i5-4590 (funny, it's what I got) or FX 8350, 4GB of RAM, a GTX970 or Radeon R9 290, and a relatively strong connection.
07:00 <Schism> Also, one of the rules of cryptography is that your encryption is never as strong as you think it is.
07:02 <Schism> Aaand also never trust that the client displays the password hash to only the user.

07:06 <Schism> I'm sorry, I must be more tired than I thought, because now I'm just staring.
07:06 <PinkieShy> schism it is able to do vrchat
07:07 <PinkieShy> with ease
07:07 <Schism> Sounds like VRChat isn't all that big an issue to run then.
07:07 <PinkieShy> well it requires a lot lol
07:07 <ConfusionRift> I just mentioned it.
07:07 <Schism> But honestly. PinkieShy? Return that damned thing, go to a pharmacy or a Walmart or something, get a freaking laptop.
07:07 <PinkieShy> They recommend at least FX 8350 with r9
07:08 <Schism> That minimum spec sounds like they're overhyping things.
07:08 <Schism> But you can almost certainly pick up SOME box or another which doesn't require you to pay $2,000 for a piece of time-delayed slag.
07:09 <Schism> I'll all but guarantee you that the PC they sent you is ticking like a bomb.
07:09 <Schism> (Or maybe a Geiger counter.)
07:09 * ConfusionRift nods.
07:09 <ConfusionRift> What were the specs?
07:10 <luckyspirit> Uranium Fever!
07:11 <Schism> ... Recommended 8350? Seriously? I'm running an 8320 and I have a sneaking suspicion that I could outpace anything VRChat throws at me -- if it were on an engine which has any optimization whatsoever.
07:13 * ConfusionRift shrugs.
07:13 <Schism> This of course throws Minecraft, VRChat and Second Life out the window, because they have clients which could maybe possibly be called well-written if you looked at them in a dim light through a foggy telescope from Venus.

08:55 <Schism> Well. I am so glad that I took the time to have a conversation with my brother, who believes that Alex Jones should not be removed from a website and that the question of whether the world is flat should be solved via debate.
09:01 <Schism> And that if I argue, I should be punched in the face.
09:03 <ConfusionRift> Heh.
09:09 <Schism> I wish I were making things up.
09:10 <ConfusionRift> Wait... had the re-read that... huh?!
09:11 <Schism> The idea of objective reality is now a political debate.
09:11 <ConfusionRift> Everything nowadays is a political debate.
09:12 <Schism> And that people are actively being harmed by ignorance of germ theory is something for the scholars.
09:14 <Schism> Now, I deserve a slap upside the head and more, but I am mildly disconcerted by the idea that it might be brought about by political debate rather than a disagreement over something more tangible.
09:15 <Schism> And rather more disconcerted that he believes that objective reality is a political point.
09:15 <ConfusionRift> "Just do this real quick. Go ahead and take a vacation to Hawaii. Once done, instead of heading back, go right away to Japan. If you need to take an obscene number of scales and take you a week to get there, then they were right. Otherwise, shut up and face the facts."
09:16 <Schism> He would insist the scales were in his imagination, and that the timeframe was simply a long nap.
09:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh, those kind of people.
09:16 <Schism> I am no longer convinced of his ability to perform basic mathematics.
09:17 <Schism> And this depresses me, because he's my brother and I want to think the best of him.

09:27 <Schism> This is almost a joke.
09:27 <ConfusionRift> You know, there's a book I started and never finished... like most things. But hey, maybe I should get back to it. ...get back to it... back to it... back to it... to it... On second thought, never mind.
09:28 <ConfusionRift> Schism: It kinda is. :P
09:29 <Schism> It... no. It really isn't.
09:29 <RazorSharpFang> Objectivity as found through rational thought is a western and masculine concept, Schism according to a sizable chunk of academics.
09:30 <Schism> The idea of a person as being the epitome of humanity itself, yeah. It generally tends to be masculine in concept, incapable of being surpassed and therefore incapable of spawning another greater than itself.
09:30 <RazorSharpFang> They say that all evidence is arbitrary claims to power.
09:30 <Schism> "My viewpoint is bigger than yours."
09:30 * ConfusionRift sighs at this.
09:31 <RazorSharpFang> There's a textbook you could read more about this. It's called "Race, Class, and Gender" but I don't remember the author.
09:31 <Schism> My punching through like six walls is not a paean to masculinity or anything. It's me saying that I will put my fist through six pieces of drywall.
09:31 <Schism> They do not have to be in sequential order.
09:33 *** Joins: danwellby (Daniel_well@Pony-q0e7lq.dyn.plus.net)
09:35 <ConfusionRift> Race, Class, & Gender: An Anthology; by blah blah blah. Why does this book's synopsis remind me of that stupid Social Engineering 101 book?
09:36 <Schism> Probably because its whole basis is in how to understand people, a subject which defies explanation.
09:36 <ConfusionRift> Woooooooooow, the FIRST comment on the book was RazorSharpFang's quote.
09:36 * Schism stares.
09:36 <RazorSharpFang> I wasn't joking.
09:36 <RazorSharpFang> They really believe this.
09:37 <ConfusionRift> [“Objectivity as found through rational thought is a western and masculine concept that we will challenge through this text“, page 14. This is pretty much how one defines insanity, isn’t it?]
09:37 <RazorSharpFang> They question the definition of evidence - they say that all hierarchies are predicated on power, and power alone.
09:37 <RazorSharpFang> So, all evidence is is arbitrary claims to power.
09:37 <RazorSharpFang> There's nothing objective about anything in evidence according to them.
09:38 <Schism> I'm sorry, I think my left eyebrow has just shot up towards the stratosphere.
09:38 * ConfusionRift gives Schism a replacement one.
09:38 <RazorSharpFang> You should look up auto ethnography - which is basically the publication of anecdotal evidence in an otherwise reputable academic journal.
09:38 <Schism> Objective reality is something which doesn't behave differently when different people look at it.
09:38 <ConfusionRift> Don't worry. I got spare. This has been happening waaaay too often.
09:39 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, there's a paper that unironically claims that mathematics is whiteness, fwiw.
09:39 <Schism> Am I crazy? If everyone else thinks it works one way, and I think it works a different way, and my way depends on different people looking at it, am I the crazy one?
09:40 * Schism gibbers.
09:40 <RazorSharpFang> There's nothing illogical about their claims - it all stems from their axioms.
09:40 <RazorSharpFang> They just pick very odd axioms.
09:40 <Schism> Can they disprove those axioms?
09:40 <Schism> No, wait, wrong question. Have they ever /tried/ to disprove those axioms?
09:40 <RazorSharpFang> No, you can't disprove these axioms - not in the formal sense.
09:40 <Schism> Then... what use are they?
09:41 <RazorSharpFang> They provide a framework with which to view the world.
09:41 <Schism> They're obviously not logical and they have little basis for comparison with others.
09:41 <Schism> I suppose they have a basis for comparison with themselves.
09:42 <RazorSharpFang> It's all based on critical theory - marxist analysis.
09:42 <Schism> Please, do continue.
09:43 <RazorSharpFang> That sounds like it's sarcastic.
09:43 <Schism> Only halfway. I'm interested in seeing the chain of logic. I'm less interested in seeing to where it leads.
09:43 <ConfusionRift> ^
09:44 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, are you familiar with Dialectical materialism ?
09:44 <ConfusionRift> That's like the only "logical" traverse I see for all of this.
09:44 <Schism> I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the nature of reality is based on how we ourselves define it.
09:45 <Schism> As a definition of the ideological thought pattern you just put forth.
09:45 <RazorSharpFang> Something along those lines - gist is, is that the most real thing is power.
09:46 <RazorSharpFang> Not in the terms of J/s or W, but power over others.
09:46 <Schism> As Xykon put it, 'Power is power -- and sometimes, power takes the form of a +6 racial bonus to Listen checks.'
09:46 <Schism> So, okay. Whether or not you can adjust how other people see the world.
09:47 <RazorSharpFang> Now, since power is the most real thing, that means that all evidence is are claims to power.
09:47 <Schism> And here's where I start to scream.
09:47 <RazorSharpFang> So, by challenging evidence, they're challenging what they view as arbitrary claims to power.
09:48 * ConfusionRift rubs his forehead.
09:48 <Schism> This becomes a little bit frightening when you look at organized religion.
09:49 <RazorSharpFang> I've not yet found any religions that operate based on those principles, fwiw.
09:49 <Schism> Discordianism seems to work based thereupon.
09:50 <Schism> Its purpose is of course a counteraction, discarding all power which such a social idea would otherwise give.
09:50 <RazorSharpFang> Also, since these folk are marxist, they think that since all positions in hierarchies are founded upon arbitrary claims to power, that all hierarchies should be inverted, and this would be just.
09:52 <Schism> Meanwhile, in Discordianism, all hierachies should be inverted as a matter of course, and therefore arbitary claims to power are perfectly justified, made moreso by the amount of effort put into these claims.
09:52 <Schism> Except when they're not.
09:55 <Schism> And so, by and by, RSF, I own your firstborn child.
09:55 <RazorSharpFang> Not again
09:55 <Schism> No wait, you're right. Someone already has claim. Your THIRDborn child.

19:19 <Cepheid> Nedemai, have you forgotten that you are required by Canadian law to kill people for such horrible puns?
19:19 <Ali> But she's Canadian too eh?
19:19 <Nedemai> Required by law to make horrible puns you mean?
19:20 <Starlight_Glimmer> I'm pretty sure the Canadian definition of "kill" is like a light pet to the head.
19:20 <Nedemai> ive spent years honing the skill
19:20 <Cepheid> Nah, murder people who make horrible puns.
19:20 <ADragonHoarding> It's a tit for tat system, since the puns are murder.
19:20 <Nedemai> Cepheid, apparently Canadian farmers are some of the best. The are just outstanding in their field.
19:21 <lonely`coco> I would have said out standing but the joke still works
19:22 <Cepheid> [redacted] [censored] YOU! I'LL BLOODY [censored] [censored for your sanity] [redacted because your security clearance is too low] YOU FOR THAT!
19:23 <Nedemai> Cepheid, you could probably just like, walk to me. Or bus or drive. Heck I have a car
19:23 <Cepheid> Walking might be a bit excessive, I'm in Ottawa.
19:23 <Cepheid> Bus or train, sure.
19:24 <Nedemai> Ah yea, thats about 8 hours from here by car
19:24 <Nedemai> Ive made that trip before
19:24 <Cepheid> Closest I ever got to you I think was when I visited Toronto last year and the year before.
19:25 <Cepheid> Anyways, back in a few minutes. Chores.

20:26 <Cepheid> Filly_Nightmares: Not all cats will eat "human food" as it's called.
20:26 <Cepheid> But deli meat is still meat, it's just been cured and/or brined.
20:27 <Cepheid> They'll still eat it. Is it good for them? Depends on what they're injected or cured with. Some ingredients are harmful to cats. The stuff we buy is safe.
20:28 <Filly_Nightmares> o5o
20:28 <Cepheid> You can actually go out, buy some steaks or other meats, cut 'em up to manageable chunks, and serve it to cats just fine. They're obligate carnivores, they eat meat. They *NEED* meat.
20:28 <Filly_Nightmares> My doggo just stares at me for food
20:28 <Filly_Nightmares> o3o
20:29 <Cepheid> In any case, Tizzy recognizes the smell of meat, cooked or otherwise.
20:29 <Cepheid> So when we have anything with meat, she'll be nearby.
20:36 <OctaveSymphony> Seen examples of people forcing "vegan pet food" on their animals...
20:36 <OctaveSymphony> Utterly disgusting honestly
20:36 <Cepheid> Eeyup.
20:37 <Cepheid> Being obligate carnivores, they absolutely have to eat meat, or at least get a certain component from it.
20:37 <Cepheid> If they don't, they die, basically.
20:42 <ADragonHoarding> you can get away with that with a bear, maybe
20:42 <ADragonHoarding> not cats, though.
20:42 <ADragonHoarding> also, "no animal byproducts" isn't necessarily a grand thing for pets
20:43 <ADragonHoarding> that's the gut and etc.
20:43 <ADragonHoarding> which is usually the first thing they'll eat when hunting in the wild.
20:44 <OctaveSymphony> I'm still confused by the dead rabbit I found out back a couple years ago
20:44 <OctaveSymphony> Head was eaten, the rest was intact
20:44 <Cepheid> Some animals do hunt for sport occasionally.
20:44 <Cepheid> Cats will sometimes hunt mice not to eat them, but to play with them.
20:44 <Cepheid> They get bored with it after the mouse dies from sheer terror.
20:45 <ADragonHoarding> Cats tend to have an adverse affect on local small wildlife.
20:45 <ADragonHoarding> Because the cat is fed by humans, they don't hunt for food
20:45 <Cepheid> More or less.
20:45 <ADragonHoarding> In some cases this increases the rate of hunting
20:45 <Cepheid> I'd argue "adverse effect" is a bit of an understatement.
20:46 <OctaveSymphony> Getting rid of rodents ain't bad tho
20:46 <Cepheid> It's basically a sort of epidemic. Cats are killing birds and small wildlife at increasing and increasing rates because more cats keep getting born on a regular basis.
20:46 <ADragonHoarding> Octave: while true, in many cases that's best kept to the indoors.
20:47 <Cepheid> It's true.
20:47 <Cepheid> Cats live longer lives indoors.
20:47 <Cepheid> And do less damage to the ecosystem.
20:47 <OctaveSymphony> Too bad cats aren't predators to snakes to though
20:47 <OctaveSymphony> I'd love to see less snakes around
20:47 <ADragonHoarding> are they venomous?
20:48 <Cepheid> On average, cats live about 7-9 years if they're outdoor cats. Most don't see 5 years.
20:48 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, indoor cats can live up to 18+ years.
20:48 <Cepheid> Simba lived to 18. Pepper lived to 21.
20:49 <OctaveSymphony> One is, one isn't. Doesn't change that I want them gone.
20:49 <Cepheid> Whacking day!
20:50 <OctaveSymphony> I plain up hate snakes
20:50 <Schism> Grass snakes are cute.
20:51 <Schism> You can feed them bananas.
20:51 <OctaveSymphony> Had a friend in school who had one as a pet and said that "might toss it on me" when I was visiting...
20:51 <OctaveSymphony> I would've broken that snake if he ever did...
20:51 <Cepheid> So, basically your issue with snakes is traumatic torture from a friend.
20:51 <OctaveSymphony> Nope.
20:52 <OctaveSymphony> Issue existed long before then.
20:52 * Schism happily boops a Danger Noodle.
20:52 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
20:52 <Cepheid> Myself, I'm really only afraid of things that fly with stingers.
20:52 <Cepheid> Or things that fly and bite.
20:52 <OctaveSymphony> But my solution to a snake in my yard is hacking it to bits with a shovel
20:52 * Cepheid is afraid of wasps, bees and the like, and the occasional black fly.
20:53 <Cepheid> Unfortunately wishing these things dead is a bad idea.
20:53 <OctaveSymphony> Wasps terrify my, but that's due to allergies
20:53 <Cepheid> I'm not allergic, my problem with bees and wasps though is that they follow me, bump into me, or hover around me.
20:54 <Cepheid> Blackflies on the other hand, I'm afraid of because I've been bitten by a few.
20:56 <Cepheid> That said, don't invite cats to attack these things.
20:56 <Cepheid> Blackflies, not sure. Bees and wasps though? Cats are allergic to 'em.

20:57 <OctaveSymphony> Actually found 2 wasp queens hibernating in my attic last year, removed them from the equation permanently, haven't had any nearby nests this year
20:57 <Cepheid> http://boredomtherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/09-cats-stung-by-bees.jpg
20:58 <Cepheid> Basically, kitties getting stung by bees? They uh, swell up.
20:58 <OctaveSymphony> I do wonder if the neighbour across the road is noticing my use of Raid spray though
20:59 <OctaveSymphony> They suddenly got beehives set up, and I'm often too weary to distinguish between wasp and bee so I spray both
21:00 <OctaveSymphony> I'm still sorta itching to report them to the local council though
21:01 <OctaveSymphony> I have a hard time believing so many chickens they have are allowed to be kept in a tiiiiiny henhouse
21:02 <Cepheid> Make an anonymous report.
21:03 <OctaveSymphony> Also don't get how the hell they could get permission to have that many animals to begin with
21:03 <OctaveSymphony> Something like 12 hens, 3 ducks, a turkey...
21:03 <OctaveSymphony> In the middle of a town
21:04 <Cepheid> Licenses can be obtained to have a larger number of animals, etc. That said..
21:04 <OctaveSymphony> Usually, councils here will not permit more than 5 hens inside of the community
21:05 <OctaveSymphony> I have appealed that decision as well because of the noise and amount of vermin that follows large amounts of poultry

21:07 <Cepheid> Apparently you cannot legally keep chickens and other fowl here in Ottawa.
21:07 <Cepheid> Livestock isn't allowed unless it's a farm, etc.
21:07 * Schism randomly passes Cepheid a plush of Lord Theodore Thomas Blackwood.
21:08 <Cepheid> Who?
21:08 <OctaveSymphony> These people have also broken the law before, by having a rooster
21:08 <OctaveSymphony> Which is never allowed inside of the town

21:14 <Schism> Cepheid: Yeah, but lying down requires that you actually remain still in this sticky freakin' heat.
21:17 <Cepheid> So I saw my dad putting stuff out for garbage, including an old lay-z-boy chair that's been scratched up to hell.
21:17 <Cepheid> He had just gotten home from work and all that.
21:18 <Cepheid> So I go up to the window and yell "Stop right there, criminal scum!" and scared the *YAY* out of him.
21:19 <Cepheid> And meanwhile, you are right Schism. If it weren't for the fact that I have a fan on me, and the A/C nearby running to keep this room cool.
21:19 * Schism grumps.
21:24 * Cepheid gives Schism a beer for $1. Totally not attempting to distract him from any illegal provincial government tactics, or get him so drunk he won't care what said government does.
21:25 <Cepheid> No-sir-ee, that'd be immoral. >.>
21:25 * Schism peers at it. "This is Labatt Blue." He throws it at Cepheid's head.
21:25 * Cepheid suffers a concussion.
21:25 * Schism coughs, picks it up, and tosses it at Doug Ford instead.
21:25 <Schism> (Throwing at people is the only thing that Labatt is good for.)
21:26 * Cepheid gets treated at the local hospital for free.
21:27 <Cepheid> The thing about Ford is he seems to think we're stupid and complacent enough to just let him do whatever he pleases. Unfortunately, we're not.
21:28 <Schism> Depends on who you talk to.
21:28 <Schism> Unfortunately, while I love this country, there's a reason people call us 'America's Hat', and that's because our headspace sometimes occupies about the same geographical location.
21:28 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:29 <Schism> Doug Ford wouldn't have been elected in the first place if not for a sizeable quantity of ... I'm going to be generous here and call them misguided people.
21:30 <Cepheid> Might have helped had I not been sick and voted.
21:30 <Schism> Mm, well.
21:31 <Cepheid> All I remember of that day was being asleep for most of it and a high fever.
21:31 <Cepheid> Like, 103F high.
21:31 <Schism> Yeeeah. Best that you stayed in.
21:32 <Schism> Honestly, if a decade under Stephen Harper and his gang of thugs didn't convince people that the PCs were a worthless bunch of nitwits, I doubt anything could.
21:33 <Cepheid> What ruined it all was basically the liberals giving up.
21:33 <Schism> Specifically, the liberal premier.
21:33 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:33 <Schism> What a joke. What a sick little third-act twist.
21:33 <Cepheid> Conspiracy theories abound, to boot.
21:34 <Schism> Thankfully, up here, Hanlon's Razor still applies.
