00:03 * DashedRainbows licks Thelema5

00:03 <Finwe> Good evening, my perissodactyls of minute stature.

00:04 <Finwe> Messrs LibrarianofHope, PinkieShy, Cepheid and Thelema5, Mlles Ali|BGN, DashedRainbows and Surreal_Nightmares.

00:04 * Finwe doffs his hat.

00:04 * Thelema5 tastes like a huge salad with iceberg, red leaf, and bib lettuce, grape tomatoes, black olives, onions, radish, red cabbage, coutons and grilled beyond chicken strips with ranch dressing

00:04 * DashedRainbows barks at Finwe

00:05 <LibrarianofHope> sit or no treat

00:05 <Cepheid> Finwe.

00:05 <LibrarianofHope> dont bark at the sarge

00:05 * DashedRainbows sits

00:11 <PinkieShy> Keurig having a auto off is a great feature..

00:12 <PinkieShy> I can't believe it happened but.. I feel asleep after turning the keurig on.. Got up it just turned itself off.

00:12 <PinkieShy> All I did was lay down to try to ease the pain never meat to sleep lol

00:13 <Thelema5> I want auto everything.

00:13 <LibrarianofHope> keuring?

00:14 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 Like what a future where everything knows the exact time you wake every day so say it starts the coffee so by the time you wake.. Its ready, a auto tv that turns on and such?

00:15 <Cepheid> Alas, Double Lariat would not be allowed.  I did a quick perusal of the rules.  Has to be 3 minutes or less.

00:22 <LibrarianofHope> its monstrous

00:22 <LibrarianofHope> im well aware its media, but i just can accept that

00:22 <LibrarianofHope> cant

00:22 <Cepheid> Based on what I've seen, I assumed such.

00:23 <Cepheid> Man, you would not like Corpse Party.

00:23 <LibrarianofHope> yeah, with hope in my name i dont strike as a horror lover

00:24 <Cepheid> This is less horror and more absolute mindscrew.ew

00:24 <Cepheid> Er, -ew

00:24 <Cepheid> It's... distressing.

00:24 <Thelema5> PinkieShy, yes- that's what I mean. It's possible now, just expensive.

00:24 <Cepheid> Truth told, I was hesitant to mention it in this channel.

00:24 <LibrarianofHope> lets just drop it

00:25 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 I felt like Steven Universe ended last night.. But still season 6 to go :3

00:25 <LibrarianofHope> imma get mad again

00:25 <PinkieShy> It was a great hr long special.

10:39 <Schism> Look up the 'crafty crate'?

10:41 <Schism> You can probably set up a couple so that they turn them into coal blocks, for easier storage.

10:44 <Finwe> Messrs RazorSharpFang and Schism,

10:44 * Finwe doffs his hat.

10:45 <Finwe> Looks like I have to get some new needles from the health centre. I only have two left.

10:46 <RazorSharpFang> I'm probably going to have to do some elven trades, whatever that is.

10:46 <Finwe> And I need one before lunch and one at suppertiem.

10:46 <Finwe> See you later, everypony!

11:10 <Schism> RSF: Elven trades are... odd.  You set up a gateway to the elflands, and throw stuff in.  Stuff comes back out if they accept.  Costs a TON of mana to open, and just as much to keep it open and trade.

15:53 <Cepheid> The internal speakers are of average volume.  These are bus route announcing speakers.  They are installed on the outside.

15:55 <ADragonHoarding> Aye.

15:56 <Cepheid> They are actually a relatively new development for the busses here.  Installed back in December.

15:59 <Cepheid> Hum.  I only just became aware of it over the last couple of days, but the vyvanse I'm taking appears to be affecting my personality a bit.

16:01 <Cepheid> I'm far more calm.  I'm much more patient.  I don't agitate as easily, excluding bothering me when intensely focused and concentrating on something.

16:02 <Cepheid> I also feel like I am more analytical than usual and more decisive than usual.

16:02 * ADragonHoarding pokes Cepheid a bunch

16:02 <Cepheid> Do you need something?

16:04 <ADragonHoarding> Nope.

16:04 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, is that positive or negative?

16:05 <Cepheid> Positive, for me.  If a bit weird feeling.  I have this continual sensation of venting something from my back, or head.  As if I am expending energy just from sitting here.

16:07 <Cepheid> Even weirder is if I try to focus on the sensation to analyze and understand what it is..

16:08 <Cepheid> I get this sensation of something incredibly massive and potentially dangerous following or watching over me.

16:09 <Cepheid> This is about the only weirdness i have from my medication, outside of how weird it feels to be in control of everything else.

16:10 <Cepheid> I'm either going insane in some manner, or there really is something watching over me.

16:10 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe it's Mufasa.

16:10 <Cepheid> Heh.

16:12 <Cepheid> I mean, even when I am in a worked up state, perhaps because of adrenaline rush or, because I drank an energy drink, I seem to retain some control.  I no longer snap at people needlessly because I feel agitated or aggressive.

16:13 <Cepheid> Things that usually bother me, no longer do so.  I hate discrete mathematics, but I feel none of the fear, none of the hatred, direcred at either myself or the professor.  I don't hear any voices telling me that I am going to screw up, that I screwed up, that I'm a failure, and so on.

16:14 <RazorSharpFang> Is that part of the BPD?

16:15 <Cepheid> I apologize.  I know I have gone on like this a few times in the past, but it is just...  It is shocking, in a way, to me.

16:15 <Cepheid> I am not used to this.  I have never felt anything like this in my life.

16:15 <Cepheid> Pretty much Razor.

16:16 <Cepheid> I feel incresible highs that make me feel like I can do anything.  Then incredible depressive episodes that make me feel like I am useless, worthless and the like.  I go back and forth between these states without meds.

16:17 <RazorSharpFang> That does sound like BPD.

16:17 <Cepheid> A common thought for example, is that I feel that if I am unable to control myself, then I am of no use.  Employers want people in control.  Capable of taking care of themselves.  Without medication, I cannot meet this requirement.  Thus my flawed logic is that I am of no use to anyone or anything.

16:18 <Cepheid> I am, by default, ensured to live on the streets, or rely on systems people disparagingly look down upon.  I become a burden to society.  Thus, it is simpler to end my life.

16:19 <RazorSharpFang> And with the medication, ... ?

16:20 <Cepheid> Put more succinctly, I feel in my untreated state, I take more than I give.

16:21 <Cepheid> With medication, I feel like I am capable of doing something.  Anything.  Not in a "I can do anything without trouble!" But more along the lines of "If I want to, I can take something up, and do something productive with it, to give back for what I take."

16:21 <RazorSharpFang> That's a lot more positive.

16:23 <Cepheid> Before, I'd look at bug trackers for projects I like on the Internet, and I would go "I can't help with this.  I can't fix this."  Now?  "I could give it a shot.  Worst case scenario, I can't do it, and I learn something.  Best case, I succeed and contribute."

16:24 <Cepheid> Even if I can't do something, I at least tried.  And I learned that I need to improve in some area.

16:26 <ADragonHoarding> That does sound very positive

16:27 <Cepheid> In the fight or flight scheme of things, I've gone from mostly wanting to fly away from challenges, to mostly wanting to fight against challenges.  Where once I would accept loss as it came, I now struggle to fight until I am out of options or energy, or even both.

16:29 <Cepheid> Turns out tapping and holding on a channel closes it.

16:29 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, android eh.

16:30 <Cepheid> I want to save the log for later tonight.  I see my psychiatrist tonight, and I am sure she would be glad to hear how I am thinking and feeling about recent weeks.

16:30 <Cepheid> Ill just call up Unixkitty's log ahead of time.

16:33 <Cepheid> My studies are going great too.  TAs still annoy me, but jot enough that I won't talk to them.  I've managed perfect marks on all work I have submitted for Japanese.

16:33 <RazorSharpFang> Hey that's good.

16:34 <Cepheid> Still a little weirded out with listening comprehension though.  And there is one quirk that no one else seems capable of picking up on.

16:35 <RazorSharpFang> Is this the `r` v `l` thing?

16:35 <Cepheid> When there is a stop prior to any r* sound, I hear an incredibly short 'd' sound.  Even though everyone insists it's either an 'l' or 'r' sound.  Professor included.

16:36 <Cepheid> Well.  More of a 'dz' sound.  Similar to the 'd' sound in the French pronunciation of my last name, Dionne.

16:37 <Cepheid> I mentioned it to my dad.  He demonstrated the sound, and I noticed it sounded incredibly similar.

16:37 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm, interesting.

16:38 <Cepheid> It may be because of how stops affect things.  Whereas a flow of one sound to the next changes how the next sound, well, sounds.

16:38 * Finwe hats on RazorSharpFang.

16:39 <Cepheid> Either that, or my hearing is picking up on distinct traits others ignore due to the way people tune out background noises and such.

16:39 * RazorSharpFang hats on Finwe

16:39 <Cepheid> Which is something that I have not yet mastered.

16:39 <RazorSharpFang> That is possible as well. Better get a microphone. :3

16:40 <Cepheid> Innany case the other half of the listening comprehension thing that weirds me out has to do with my reading of lips.

16:40 <Cepheid> During homework, quizzes and tests, my eyes are on the paperwork because I have to choose the translation spoken to me.

16:41 <Cepheid> I sit in a position that puts me at a disadvantage too.  I hear voices better with my left ear.  I am always seated such that the professor is too my right.

16:42 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-8rbj2e.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

16:42 <RazorSharpFang> That sounds like something that should change.

16:42 <Cepheid> And yet, despite this, I hear her perfectly, clearly, with no confusion about sounds.

16:43 <Cepheid> It is absolutely flawless, compared to English.  I have to ask people to repeat themselves quite often when they speak English to me.

16:44 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe there's something about the phonemes.

16:44 <Cepheid> Or when they speak facing away from me.  Or from my right-hand side.

16:45 <Cepheid> As I said, I read lips.  My English comprehension could be split between visual and auditory as a side effect of how I learned the language growing up.

16:45 <ADragonHoarding> reminds me of the whole yanny/laurel thing.

16:45 <Cepheid> The only way to confirm this though woukd be to tapk to someone in a similar boat to me.  Spent their chilhood with severely impaired hearing from birth, then miraculously recovering all or most of it later in life.

16:46 <Cepheid> Ask them how comprehension works for them in the above situations.

16:46 <RazorSharpFang> For me, the y/l thing, they both sound like incomprehensible mush.

16:46 <Cepheid> I never fivured that one out.  Then again, I never investigated it.

16:47 <Cepheid> Given the readings of the words, they seem like they shouod be extremely distinct.

16:47 <Cepheid> Sorry for the typos.  Giving up on correcting them.  Slows me down.

16:47 <ADragonHoarding> Wikipedia has an explanation of it

16:47 <Cepheid> Oh?

16:47 <RazorSharpFang> Looking forward, not looking back.

16:48 <ADragonHoarding> the specific recording that triggered the debate does actually have the sounds for both yanny and laurel within it

16:48 <RazorSharpFang> Might explain why it sounds like mush to me.

16:48 <ADragonHoarding> through manipulation of the file, I think pitch modulation? Or possibly just removing the sounds at certain freqencies, you can change what is heard

16:48 <Cepheid> Ah.  I'll look into it when I get on campus.  My data is running low on my phone.

16:49 <RazorSharpFang> Data as in contract for bandwidth? Rip.

16:49 <ADragonHoarding> at one end of the spectrum, laurel is more easily heard, at the other end, yanny

16:49 <Cepheid> Is it possible the two worda are simply overlaid atop each other through postediting?

16:49 <ADragonHoarding> nope.

16:49 <ADragonHoarding> that's not how it was created

16:49 <Cepheid> Becuase that could induce it as well.

16:49 <ADragonHoarding> at least according to the article I read

16:50 <ADragonHoarding> the word recorded was Laurel, but IIRC the "yanny" sounds can be attributed to background noise

16:50 <Cepheid> Of course, were that the case, it might be possible to use an Fourier transform to isolate the two words.

16:50 <ADragonHoarding> the difference in what is heard is due to differences in people's ears.

16:50 <Cepheid> Ah.

16:50 <ADragonHoarding> whether people hear the higher registers more easily or not or something of the nature

16:50 <ADragonHoarding> similar to the color confusion over The Dress

16:51 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, any extraction via fourier would have to be done selectively via a person or a neural network though.

16:51 <Cepheid> I wonder how my hearing would interpret it.  Again, not a conventional situation, in my case.

16:51 <ADragonHoarding> aye

16:51 <ADragonHoarding> I heard Laurel.

16:51 <ADragonHoarding> I also saw White and Gold

16:51 <Cepheid> The dress thing, I could see both, depending on focus.

16:52 <RazorSharpFang> The photo's colour balance was absolutely terrible.

16:52 <Cepheid> My eyes would default to blue and black though, if I rested them.

16:53 <Cepheid> I have some control over the dilation and contraction of the iris in my left eye.

16:53 <Cepheid> I can forcibly make myself utterly blind in that eye regardless of glasses or correction.

16:54 <Cepheid> Brb

17:00 <Cepheid> Back.  Regarding the y/l debate, the low quality clip on Wikipedia is distinctly saying Laurel.

17:00 <RazorSharpFang> Well, it is low quality.

17:00 <Cepheid> Truem

17:02 <Cepheid> I checked youtube.  Again, same thing.  It is very distinct.  I cannot comprehend the confusion.

17:03 <ADragonHoarding> That's the original file

17:03 <ADragonHoarding> and that lack of ability to comprehend because you hear what you hear is why people got all over each other about it

17:03 <ADragonHoarding> The whole thing is that, with that clip, some people hear yanny and can't understand how we're hearing laurel.

17:03 <RazorSharpFang> Almost as if perception is inferred and not inherit.

17:06 <Cepheid> You know, sometimes I dislike the names given to characters in translations of games, but...

17:06 <Cepheid> In the Gunvolt series, we dodged a bullet with one of the names.

17:06 <ADragonHoarding> oh?

17:07 <Cepheid> Apparently, Lumen, the female singing character from the series, was named, and I kid you not, Morpho.

17:08 <Cepheid> Which really does not suit her at all, regardless of how you look at it.

17:09 <Cepheid> Her role in the story is that she is basically a world-wide j-pop sensation, whose music has various effects on adepts, individuals who have special abilities.  Like Gunvolt and his electromastery.

17:10 <Cepheid> The effects being tracking, mind control, and in extreme cases localized time-reversal to reverse death, and powering up individuals.

17:11 <Cepheid> Of course there is a kind of circular issue with the mind control.  Lumen is a manifested entity created by an adept, a child by the name of Joule.

17:13 <Cepheid> In any case, her appearance is that of a humanoid with butterfly wings.  Taking into account her music, and appearance... 'Morpho' sounds odd for a name.  Even pronounced in Japanese.

17:13 *** Joins: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-5v8.8lh.207.187.IP)

17:14 <Cepheid> 'Lumen' meanwhile seems to go much better when her wings are taken into account.  Glowing, color-shifting, etc.

17:16 <LibrarianofHope> what is it anyway?

17:16 <Cepheid> Contrasting the Japanese vs English name of a character in the Gunvolt series.  Apparently in the Japanese release, Lumen's name is Morpho.

17:16 <LibrarianofHope> cant comment, never played the game

17:18 <Cepheid> Megaman Zero-styled game.  You play as Gunvolt, who's weapon is a dart shooter.  The darts are conductive, your primary method of combat is to shoot a bunch of darts into the enemy, and use Gunvolt's specialty, electromastery, to electrocute the eff out of enemies.

17:20 <Cepheid> If you are interested, Inticreates has a double pack of both the first and second game available for the 3DS and Switch.

17:25 <Cepheid> It's unfortunate that most people won't hear the vocal tracks.  Games have them set up in a weird way.  As you play, you rack up combos for dealing damage while taking little or no damage.  If you rack up 1000 combos, the music changes to one of the vocal themes.  Unfortunately it is easy to lose the combos.  Get hit a varying number of times, use a special attack, die, or touch a checkpoint.

17:26 <Cepheid> Since it is so easy to do any of these, you may end up only hearing a fraction of the songs.

17:29 <Cepheid> Okay wow.  These vending machines are poorly programmed.  On top of the stuff i figured out yesterday, these things don't queue inputs.  You have to wait for the "make another selection" dialogue before the buttons do anything to end the transactions.

19:36 <Cepheid> I was about to yell "There are people ahead of me and behind me politely trying to get through.  Since you idiots can't fathom this, please move the [BLEEP] out of the way and make a path for us, a-holes!"

19:37 <LibrarianofHope> i wanna try actually screaming bleep in anger

19:37 <Cepheid> They weren't moving.  Just blindly staring or looking down on anyone who politely went "excuse me" as if those people had committed an arrestable crime.

19:39 <Cepheid> I actually have yelled at the mass a few times in the past.  I had people pushing me from behind aggressively.  I told them in unkind words that if they keep it up I'll push back.  And hard.

19:39 <Cepheid> Not surprisingly the pushing stopped.

19:39 <LibrarianofHope> get a moose and push everything away

19:39 <LibrarianofHope> get in a police chase

19:39 <LibrarianofHope> that would get nmade into a movie

19:40 <Cepheid> I weigh 100 kilos.  I carry a 15 kilo bag.  I have good shoes for traction.  I also know about impulse and such.

19:40 <Cepheid> I can knock a person onto their butt easily.

19:41 <LibrarianofHope> but the moose is epic

19:41 <LibrarianofHope> walk alongside the moose

19:41 <Cepheid> Would I actually do it?  Only in self-defense or response to aggressive behaviour.

19:41 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the above situation, I kept myself under control, and diverted through an opening to get around the mass.

19:42 <Cepheid> But they were still interfering with the rest.

19:42 <Cepheid> It was more important for them to stand there, or get on the approaching bus first, that they refused to budge for anyone.

20:01 <Cepheid> Truth told my desired approach was to attempt a non-forceful approach through projection of my voice in an authoritarian manner.  The alternative was to give up, and forcefully, but carefully wedge a path through.

20:06 <Cepheid> I grow tired of being pushed around due to politeness and meekness.

20:10 <Cepheid> My gods i am becoming assertive fluttershy.

20:13 <ADragonHoarding> Hahahaha

20:23 <Cepheid> That said on the other hand, there is no way to know the outcome of my actions.  Big as I am, there were about 30 people.  They could have just ignored me.  Knowing myself, I'd expect more of a reaction from at least two or three of them.  I could probably handle them, but there is no need for fighting.  Therefore, I suppressed my agitation and took the safer alternative in the end.

20:24 <Cepheid> Which itself conflicts with some internal desire to fight.  It's weird, for me.

20:53 <Felixia> Not sure what I expected from a languages that dates back further than me.

20:53 <Felixia> from a language*

20:54 <Felixia> Whilst remaining backwards compatibility.

20:54 <Cepheid> Programming in general is an art.  And to others unversed in it, it looks like magic.  So your approximate observation may as well be correct.
