00:29 <Cepheid> Seriously?  Someone tried to claim ownership of the SCP Foundation logo, Schism?

00:30 <RichardMist> yeah, some russian idiots

00:31 <Cepheid> https://xkcd.com/ Oh no.

00:40 <Divide|Adagio> Additional variable space can be added by writing X in two different fonts at once.

00:40 <Lumindia_> hahaha

00:40 <Lumindia_> I can hear Ceph screaming

00:42 <Divide|Adagio> For infinite variable range, you can also use lossy kerning.

00:45 <Divide|Adagio> Well, lossy compression, I should say.  Kerning is the data you add between x and the next part.

00:47 <Cepheid> The reason I went "Oh no." is because by the end of next month, the language will exist.

00:48 <RichardMist> hmm, maybe

00:49 <Divide|Adagio> Yes... but at the same time, I feel that life would be a little less worth living if not for all the people who write compilers in a fantastically stupid manner.

00:49 <Divide|Adagio> Of course, I wish to differentiate that from the people who write them in a /normally/ stupid way.

00:50 <Divide|Adagio> Interpreters, I guess.

00:50 <RichardMist> Divide|Adagio What compiler do you think is ideal for you?

00:51 <Divide|Adagio> Hrm.  That was the most disappointing freezer pizza I've ever eaten.

00:51 <Cepheid> Heh.

00:51 <Divide|Adagio> Language-wise, I've always been a fan of Forth-based languages.  I don't know why, exactly.

00:51 <Lumindia_> meanwhile

00:52 <Lumindia_> I'm debt free in XIV now

00:52 <Lumindia_> \o/

00:52 <RichardMist> hey Lumindia_ *waves*

00:52 * Lumindia_ places a party hat on Richard, pops noisemaker

00:54 * RichardMist *eyes sparks* "cool"

00:54 <RichardMist> thanks for hat

00:54 *** Quits: Lunar_Glow (Lunar____Gl@Pony-78i2ll.range109-149.btcentralplus.com) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

00:55 * Divide|Adagio frowns at the update process. "Still chugging along."

00:55 <Divide|Adagio> Every time I'm not looking at it, it moves forward a bit.  I guess that's pretty standard.

00:56 <RichardMist> Divide|Adagio still updating?!

00:56 <Divide|Adagio> Also, grats, Lumin.  Why did you have debt?

00:57 <Divide|Adagio> You should know better than to deal with those Monetarists from Ul'dah.  How much did that damned Lalafell rook you for?

01:00 <Cepheid> Man, early foundation was messed up.  *Reading experiment logs of 187*

01:00 <RichardMist> bye everyponies *waves*

01:02 *** Quits: RichardMist (User@tor.sasl.RichardMist) (Quit: Leaving.)

01:02 <Divide|Adagio> Tiabeanie, best dragon slayer in the kingdom.

01:04 <Divide|Adagio> "We all saw the dragon flying through the air, making those whirring, mechanical dragon sounds."

01:06 <Cepheid> Heh.

01:17 <Divide|Adagio> I guess it wouldn't be a proper fantasy story without a steampunk episode.

01:18 * Ali flumps over Divide|Adagio

01:18 <Divide|Adagio> Ali: Box is still ded.  Am going to get parts on Sunday.  :<  Til then...

01:18 <Ali> Dat a LONG time to be ded.

01:20 <Divide|Adagio> Well, it's Wednesday night.  I can hold off for another few days.  I has Netflix and various emulators.

01:21 <Divide|Adagio> And since I'm working 10 hours a day anyway...

01:29 <Divide|Adagio> ... that escalated quickly.

01:33 <Cepheid> Hmm?

01:33 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP)

01:44 <Divide|Adagio> The show.

01:46 <Divide|Adagio> Even at its darkest moments, there's still a ridiculous amount of black comedy.

01:47 <Cepheid> Ah.

01:49 <Cepheid> I wish my parents would turn the furnace down.  I'm boiling.

01:59 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/e9ljcbmdrzz41

01:59 <Divide|Adagio> Wellll.  That was an interesting conclusion to the second season.  Can't wait for the third.

02:00 <Divide|Adagio> It's not typical for Groening to do a long-form story with actual consequences for the characters, but he managed to pull off a pretty good one.

02:04 <Divide|Adagio> Okay, restarting for update reasons.  Be back in a bit!

02:47 <Schism|Adagio> Okay, better.

02:47 <Schism|Adagio> Still a few intermittent updates to install, but all told, that went through without too much of a hitch.  Three updates failed, but I believe that they were obviated by later releases.

02:48 <Cepheid> Oh good you're back.  I was slightly concerned.

02:49 <Schism|Adagio> I'm not going to do anything to wreck this box.  About the most I'll do on it is some early emulation.  Been a while since I've played FF5.

02:50 <Schism|Adagio> Well, this laptop.

02:50 <Cepheid> By the by.  Story my mother told me.

02:51 <Schism|Adagio> Oh?

02:51 <Cepheid> She was talking to a neighbor.  Said neighbor went "Wait, you have a son?"

02:51 <Cepheid> I've been living in thus neighborhood for 14 years.

02:51 <Schism|Adagio> Hah.

02:52 <Cepheid> I go out so infrequently that people around here don't know I exist.

02:52 <Schism|Adagio> That's okay, I'm in the same boat.  I don't know half the tenants in the same building.

02:53 <Schism|Adagio> Hum, updates are still sluggish, hanging at 0% for a while.  That's okay, something to fix later.

02:53 <Cepheid> Low memory can make them sluggish or even fail.

02:53 <Schism|Adagio> Once the box rebooted the completion of those updates (and the second restore point creation) went through okay.

02:53 <Schism|Adagio> And that's true.

02:55 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/75dnceJ.gifv

02:55 * Schism|Adagio frowns. "And I suspect I know a portion of what's going on there."

02:57 <Schism|Adagio> I am not entirely when Avast installed that 'secure browser' onto this computer, but I know I've never touched it, and I'm going to get rid of it.  It appears to be eating a substantial amount of resident memory.

02:57 <Schism|Adagio> We shall see if I do the same for the rest of the antivirus so as to replace it with something more reasonable.

02:57 <Schism|Adagio> Like a trained monkey with a fish on a rope.

02:58 <Schism|Adagio> Bear in mind, really old laptop, I'm working with 4GB.

02:58 <Cepheid> Avast has become something of a bloatware/malware of it's own from what I've heard lately.

02:58 <Cepheid> But the 4GB would definitely impact it, yes.

02:59 <Schism|Adagio> I suspect the 'secure browser' is a substantial part of it, but if it's installing things like that, I'd much rather be gone with it in entirety.  I don't know how well BitDefender operates these days.

03:00 <Schism|Adagio> MSE not being a viable part of Windows 7, Cepheid, have you any suggestions on third-party solutions?  Obviously, McAfee and Norton are to be the subject of derisive laughter.

03:01 <Cepheid> Not a danged clue, with respect to free AV.

03:01 <Schism|Adagio> Fair enough.  I stick with MSE for Windows 8/10; I might try BD if Avast is going to be... this.

03:01 <Cepheid> I use Kapersky, myself, currently.

03:03 <Schism|Adagio> Fair enough.  If I can spring for a two-computer profile that might be worth it.

03:04 <Schism|Adagio> Though even one would be fine, I'm not sure how much longer Adagio's going to be around for.

03:13 * Schism|Adagio lets wupdate close for the time being.

03:16 <Schism|Adagio> While I'm at it, I suppose I should clean up a few things on this box.

03:17 <Ali> Cepheid, Americans

03:18 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: <unspecified> [ http://tinyurl.com/ybz4mute ]

03:18 <Schism|Adagio> Ali, I don't mean to suggest that it has escaped your notice, but...

03:18 <Ali> Eh?

03:18 <Schism|Adagio> Yes, eh.

03:18 <Ali> If you're talking aboot him being in murica's tophat, then yes I already know that.

03:19 <Schism|Adagio> Juuust making sure.  :P

03:19 <Ali> Yes I know you and him are north of the border

03:19 <Ali> Also are you guys cooler than normal?

03:19 <Ali> Cause its a bit chilly here

03:22 <Schism|Adagio> Mm, a tad.  Not appreciatively: it's finally up to a high of 20 here.

03:22 <Schism|Adagio> We've got some nice 80 degree highs throughout the week, so winter is finally, finally over.

03:23 <Ali> 20?  Geebus

03:23 <Ali> Here I'm complaining about it being 60

03:23 <Schism|Adagio> 20 in Celsius, Ali.  My latter statement was in Fahrenheit.

03:24 <Schism|Adagio> Right now it's a nice pleasant 53F, with a high of 68F tomorrow.

03:24 <Ali> Yeah you gotta adjust for my murican stupidity

03:24 <Ali> 56 right now here

03:24 <Ali> with 66 the high tomorrow

03:24 <Ali> Cloudcover is preventing a lot of daytime heating though

03:28 * Schism|Adagio yawns. "Might bop by the store tonight before I sleep."

03:29 * Ali nibbles on Schism|Adagio ears. "Bad Torch luck is gone."

03:30 <Schism|Adagio> I think I have a small idea of what's going on with this update process.  It's having a hard time combing the drive for the updates in question.  Possibly a defrag might help.

03:30 <Schism|Adagio> (And while they'd normally be all in one place...)

03:36 <PinkieShy> I've been buying so much at Nook shop in gamecube that I got like a bunch of those free lotto tickets he gives you for end of the month

03:36 <PinkieShy> I can't wait to see waht he has.. I hope they got the Donkey kong NES game.. I love that game.

03:59 * PinkieShy hugs Ali

03:59 <Schism|Adagio> Rather intelligent of him to do that.  Arcade tickets for buying SO MUCH!  A $2 game for $25!

04:00 * Ali snugggles into PinkieShy

04:02 <PinkieShy> If they ever would redo the gamecube one for like a throwback game..

04:02 <PinkieShy> They would probably edit the lottery system part of the game..

04:02 <PinkieShy> Or just be like they did with the pokemon games on 3ds and just not care

04:03 <Schism|Adagio> Please do not tempt the Nintendo gods.  

04:03 <Schism|Adagio> Also, that kind of lottery is typically accepted under US law -- with some exceptions.

04:04 <Schism|Adagio> So long as the purchasers know that it's not a 'value-added' sort of thing, and that it doesn't add to the price of the original product, I believe it's workable under most law.

04:04 <Schism|Adagio> If they were selling additional draws under the Nintendo eShop, that might violate some regulations.

04:06 <Schism|Adagio> This is how FFXIV gets away with the Saucer, too.  You're not losing anything.  Just being there and wasting your time (time you could otherwise be spending clearing dungeons) gets you a few arcade tickets (MGP).  And that's fine.

04:09 <Schism|Adagio> (It helps that all the prizes are non-tradeable.)

04:25 <Ali> Schism|Adagio, if games can get away with hardcore gambling and still be E for everyone

04:26 <Ali> A measly lotto should be just fine by ESRB and PEGI standards

04:26 *** Quits: Crimson_Tail (zeta@batpones.are.for.snuggles) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

04:26 <Schism|Adagio> Oh, I agree, though PEGI and the ESRB are doing their damnedest to put a stop to the worst of it.

04:31 <Ali> Did you SEE NBA2k20?

04:31 <Ali> That thing was blaintantly gambling and gave it a E/3+ rating

04:32 <Schism|Adagio> Okay, so they're not trying very hard.  .-.

04:32 <Schism|Adagio> I must have been thinking of some other corporate lobbyist group.  One with, what's the word.  Morals.

04:32 <Ali> AAA company with morals?

04:33 <Ali> Have you heard what Bethesda did?

04:33 <Schism|Adagio> Shush, I'd rather live in my own world than the real one.

04:33 <Ali> If only

04:33 <Schism|Adagio> Yeah.  Blergh.

06:25 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.

06:27 * Ali baps ConfusionRift with bad torch luck

06:28 <ConfusionRift> man, you were not wrong about the spike pits.

06:28 <Ali> Yeah, without wings yer screwed man

06:28 <ConfusionRift> The hook shot mitigates them sorta, but you almost always have to take damage.

06:30 <Ali> I want to play more 1.4 but the NPC housing annoys me a tiny bit.

06:30 <Ali> That and I don't want to keep going thru pre hardmode so many times.  There's things I'd like to try and do

06:30 <Ali> Maybe eventually do Expert again and with a high enough character see how bad Master is

06:30 <Ali> But I can't even get past vanilla moonlord and we couldn't get past Expert Plantera

06:35 <ConfusionRift> I'm just playing Journey Mode, just to play around, see some of the new stuff.

06:40 * Ali nods and snuggles into ConfusionRift

06:45 * ConfusionRift snugs Ali back.

06:47 <ConfusionRift> What's this? Ooooh, a sugar glider!

06:48 <ConfusionRift> Real nice. A chest surrounded by spikes.

06:49 <Ali> Time to break out the pickaxe

06:49 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and is it just me, or the spikes harder to spot?

06:49 <Ali> Yeah their design is different and are harder to see in the dark

06:49 <Ali> I'm a bit worried to see what the temple spikes look like

06:56 * PrincessRainbows boops Ali's horn so much and giggles

11:31 <RichardMist> Cepheid*

11:31 <ConfusionRift> Unsure he's on at the moment.

11:32 <RichardMist> okay, later

11:32 <RichardMist> soo, what about you ConfusionRift?

11:32 <ConfusionRift> Not doing much. Just taking it easy on a day off.

11:33 <RichardMist> okay, nice

11:37 * PrincessRainbows flops and flailyhooves at ConfusionRift

11:37 * ConfusionRift grabbies and pets PrincessRainbows.

11:37 <RichardMist> hoii PrincessRainbows! *waves*

11:38 * PrincessRainbows wavies

11:38 <RichardMist> how are ya?

11:40 * Schism|Adagio yawwwns, and boops ConfusionRift with a spike.

11:40 <PrincessRainbows> OK for now, I usually like reset overnight and then it's all downhill till the next day

11:40 <Schism|Adagio> Coffee.  Coffee is needed.

11:41 <RichardMist> hey Schism|Adagio *waves*

11:42 * ConfusionRift reboops Schism|Adagio with a fragile block.

11:43 * Schism|Adagio crumbles instead of the block. Insufficient coffee.

11:43 * PrincessRainbows boops ConfusionRift a good number of times and licks

11:47 * Schism|Adagio wonders what the Ali hates about the townsfolk setup in 1.4. After all, it encourages players to spread out and provides cheapo teleports between zones, what more could you want?

11:49 <ConfusionRift> I don't get the new set up, so...

11:49 <ConfusionRift> Wait... ooooh. You have to place the town people in specific areas.

11:49 <Schism|Adagio> Okay, so here's the short form.  Townsfolk don't like living next to one another - some exceptions apply.  They also have preferences for terrain.  You don't have to have them there, but it helps.

11:50 <Schism|Adagio> If a merchant is in their preferred terrain and happy, they'll sell you a teleport nexus point.  Nexus points work if two or more NPCs are lodged nearby and will let you warp between them.

11:50 <Lumindia_> if they're happy enough, you get crystals that let you teleport between them

11:50 <RichardMist> hey Lumindia_ *waves*

11:50 <ConfusionRift> Okay, I can see how that'll be good.

11:51 <Schism|Adagio> The Angler and the Golfer should be your two choices for a nice beach house.  o3o

11:51 <Schism|Adagio> Having an angry, grumbling caddy around keeps the Golfer happy, and the Angler likes the ocean.

11:51 <ConfusionRift> The grievance that she has is that additional setting up, and the fact that the new biome generation is... how do you say... a pain.

11:52 <ConfusionRift> More so of evil biomes being placed in really bad spots.

11:52 <Schism|Adagio> I swear, all throughout 1.3 I don't think I ever saw a Crimson or Corruption which didn't overlap deleteriously with either the Tundra or the Jungle.

11:53 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, gimme a second then.

11:53 <Schism|Adagio> Bear in mind, I'm not saying that they couldn't be harmless in that way, just that I never saw it.

11:54 * ConfusionRift steps out, and bumps on the door. "Oh, right, doors."

11:55 <Schism|Adagio> Bleh.  I hate waking up 30 minutes before I have to work.

11:57 * ConfusionRift hears the siren. "NOPE, a whole load of nope!"

11:57 <RichardMist> walking is good for your health

11:58 <Lumindia_> Final judgement passed! Bask in the light and be cleansed!

11:58 * Lumindia_ uses Gavel

11:59 <ConfusionRift> Schism|Adagio: Normally there are these normal biome buffers in between the evil biome, and other biomes. At times, the there are no buffers, but the biomes are side by side. Rarely, an evil biome would already have take part of a biome. If it's the case, it's usually one or two ares.

11:59 <ConfusionRift> Now, evil biomes seem to be planted right in another biome.

12:00 <Schism|Adagio> Well, I have seen more cases of -complete- overlap, tis true.

12:06 <Schism|Adagio> Me, every day.  https://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/1972-late/

12:06 * Schism|Adagio now logs in to work. Bleh.

12:07 <ConfusionRift> And then you spend half an hour to an hour trying to frustratingly fall asleep.

12:07 <ConfusionRift> You finally do, and you wake up like you never slept... but you can't sleep more because you got work.

14:41 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/jeqyf47el3051 Sweet geezus what happened to this cat?

14:46 <RichardMist> Poor cat

14:47 <RichardMist> But I have seen even worse situations with cats

14:48 <Schism|Adagio> Heh, woke up and -finally- the drivers had properly installed for my USB gamepad.  Probably best that I noticed it right before I had to start work, rather than a few hours earlier, otherwise I'd have gotten precisely zero sleep.

14:49 <RichardMist> I hope this doesn't affect your health

14:50 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:50 <Schism|Adagio> Eh, that's kinda shot anyway, might as well go for broke!  </Luci>

14:50 <Cepheid> So.  Head feels like it's on fire.

14:50 <Cepheid> Check thermometer.

14:50 <Schism|Adagio> Does the rest of your body feel a chill?

14:50 <Cepheid> 97.4F

14:50 <Schism|Adagio> That's a tad low-ish.  Have you eaten?

14:50 <Cepheid> No.  Rest of my body feels like I'm sick with something.  Warm and aching.

14:51 <Cepheid> And I have, but this was an ear thermometer.

14:51 <Schism|Adagio> Not quite what I meant, but egh.

14:51 <Cepheid> The same thermometer that, for four weeks reported a constant temperature ranging from 99.5 to 100.0

14:52 <Schism|Adagio> That's either a calibration error or you're dangerously consistent.

14:52 <Cepheid> Consistent.

14:52 <Schism|Adagio> By the way, just at random and apropos of nothing, possibly the worst part of binge-watching a TV show is that the characters there will grab their belongings and set up shop in your head.

14:52 <Cepheid> Parents checked to make sure.  They were in normal range.

14:53 <Cepheid> Seems nowadays, my normal range is high 99.  When I get sick, my temperature goes down instead of up.

14:53 <Schism|Adagio> Terrible as it might seem, maybe curl up under a warm blanket and a warmer cat?

14:55 <Schism|Adagio> Well.  This is an interesting take on an old joke.  https://maximumble.thebookofbiff.com/comic/1968-prank/

14:55 <Cepheid> If we work under those twisted mechanics...  Assume 99.5 = 98.6 for me.  99.5 - 97.4 is 2.1.  98.6 + 2.1 = 100.7.

14:55 <RichardMist> Cepheid how are you feeling today?

14:56 <Schism|Adagio> Cepheid: You know, I complained about wonky case fans...

14:56 <Schism|Adagio> And CPU fans.  But yours takes the cake.

14:56 <Cepheid> Oh?

14:56 <Schism|Adagio> Your body's cooler, that is.

14:56 <Cepheid> Ah.  Yeah.

14:56 <Schism|Adagio> Anyway, I need to get back to work.  Bleh, distractions.

14:57 <Cepheid> Take care.  Try not to go insane.

14:57 <Schism|Adagio> Too late.  I might go sane, and nobody wants that.

15:01 <RichardMist> Cepheid do these medicine help you?

15:02 <Cepheid> We don't know how cats purr, but I'm almost certain they know how to control it.

15:02 <Cepheid> When I pet Spitfire, he makes a purring noise with a specific tone or sound to it.

15:03 <RichardMist> okay...

15:04 <Cepheid> Starts with a high pitch, dips to a low pitch, then back up to the high pitch, in a single purr.

15:04 <RichardMist> still from yesterday...

16:51 <Cepheid> I admit to being a bit two-faced here because of my stance with Apple, but I generally disapprove of constant jabs in one direction or the other.  I have a strong dislike for how computer users group towards one OS or another, sometimes to extremes.

17:57 <Ali> Or was that four?

17:57 * Ali shrugs

17:58 <Schism|Adagio> That was FF4, yes.  FF5 is Bartz.  Also, Gilgamesh.

17:58 <Cepheid> And you have checked every connection, and even did a BIOS reset through battery removal and/or jumpers?

17:59 <Schism|Adagio> No.  However, I've decided that I should cut my losses in this particular circumstance and not spend hour after hour troubleshooting it when I was meaning to upgrade anyway.

17:59 <Cepheid> I'm not talking reseating the video card, RAM, CPU.  I mean checking every cable and connection.

17:59 <Cepheid> Fair enough.  What are you going with for an upgrade?

18:13 <Schism|Adagio> Sheesh.  Water will be turned off from 7 AM to 5 PM on Friday because of construction next door.

18:13 <Schism|Adagio> Guess I'll have to get some bottled water at the store tonight.

18:19 <Cepheid> Reality: it'll be off for much longer because during the construction they break something, starting Canada's equivalent of Flint, Michigan.

18:20 <Ali> Pft to do that

18:49 <Cepheid> That said, how I feel right now does make that temperature feel accurate.

18:49 <Ali> Odd isn't it

18:50 <RichardMist> I think some traditional medicine will help

18:51 <RichardMist> That tablets not always helping

18:52 <Cepheid> In my case, traditional medicine has only served to delay rather than treat.

18:53 <Cepheid> I have a chronic problem which itself leads to severe post-nasal drip.  That itself leads to tracheal or lung infections.

18:54 <Cepheid> I currently am doing as much in my power to alleviate the post-nasal drip with non-prescription approaches, but it seems to only delay the infection.

18:56 <RichardMist> what's your diagnosis?

18:58 <Cepheid> Chronic sinusitis or chronic rhinitis.  Depends on who is asked.  As for current problems, usually diagnosed as either bronchitis or pneumonia.  Feels more like bronchitis right now.  Pneumonia has different symptoms.  Tends to be worse.

19:00 <Cepheid> Prescription given to me suggests doctor thinks it is bronchitis.

19:03 <RichardMist> what kind of medicine that can't make an accurate diagnosis?

19:18 <Cepheid> Hum.  Something going down nearby.  Firetrucks and police in the distance.

19:27 <Cepheid> Especially since right now, for the US, it is basically being used as a cover for violations of democracy.  And I'm not talking about people being free to do what they want.

19:27 <Ali> Eeyup

19:27 <Ali> We say you can't open your store

19:27 <Ali> Screw your personal income

19:27 <Cepheid> Not what I meant.

19:28 <Ali> Its what it boils down to.  People are sick of being couped up against their will

19:28 * Ali probably spelled something wrong there, she's not the best at that.

19:28 <Cepheid> I mean about attempts to reduce the voting rights, or removing of the Inspector General.  This stuff gets overshadowed by COVID-19.

19:29 <Ali> Of course this dropped in an election year

19:29 <Cepheid> The parties are using COVID-19 as a distraction to get away with things they shouldn't be able to.

19:29 <Ali> Not surprised

19:30 <Cepheid> These events last all of a few days in the media before they stop covering it.

19:30 <Cepheid> If they are covered at all.

19:30 <Cepheid> Because COVID-19 is where the ratings are at.

19:30 <Ali> Don't know why

19:31 <Ali> I remember when they beat 9/11 and Katrina to death and eventually people stopped watching coverage.

19:34 <Cepheid> The reason it is such a big deal is due to the lack of a vaccine, reliable treatments, and higher-than-usual death rate with such viruses and their diseases  It spreads easily, as well.  Unfortunately, people are being stupid with respect to handling it.  It isn't until someone loses a family member or friend to the disease before they decide "Okay, we need to do something."

19:35 <Cepheid> Those around me against the lockdown better hope I don't contract the virus.  I'll make certain they feel guilty, whether I survive or not .

19:36 <Ali> I'm gonna stop here before I go off on a rant tangent.  I just don't want to upset people.

19:37 <Ali> I just don't agree with a lot of things about this thing

19:37 <Cepheid> I kinda don't want to get the disease, given my track record with chronic lung illnesses.  I'm also diabetic.  So you can kinda understand why I'm on that side of the fence.

19:37 <Ali> Nobody wants to get it

19:38 <Ali> But I just feel like something just doesn't add up

19:38 <Cepheid> I dunno.

19:38 <Cepheid> Current infection and death rate in the US would seem to disagree.

19:39 <Ali> Compared to the Flu, this thing is not that infectious

19:39 <Cepheid> Right.  Now you're treading into dangerous territory with me.

19:40 <Ali> I told you I can get really irky with Covid

19:40 <Cepheid> Like, I am literally sitting on the edge of telling you off.

20:13 <Cepheid> See, the problem is, we kind of have to, it seems.  People just don't seem to be getting the message, and not talking about it is just going to make the problem worse because the people being ignorant or stupid about it are GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE.

20:14 <RichardMist> Everything will be alright, don't think about it

20:18 <Cepheid> Yeah.  Sure.  If you do as your bloody told instead of believing your neighbors friend about how essential oils will help, or stop listening to their conspiracy theories that this is a government operation to control the public, or that 5G towers cause the disease.  Or other stupid bullshit.

20:19 <Cepheid> You don't get it.  You think that this is something simple that'll blow over like the flu.  Just because YOU haven't gotten it doesn't mean others won't either.  You legitimately don't get it.  And it pisses me off.

20:20 <Cepheid> If it weren't for you ignorant people, we'd be handling this better.  But now, I have to confine myself to my home for much longer than you useless pricks because you can't grasp the idea of controlling the spread of something YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

20:21 <RichardMist> okay, do what doctors told you, because I'm out of this conversation

20:36 <Ali> You can, not letting it bother me too much longer

20:36 <Ali> I'm used to being trampled all over.

20:36 <RichardMist> How old is he?

20:36 * Ali doesn't know that

20:38 <RichardMist> I think I may help him with that, I helped myself, now, maybe it's time for him

20:39 <Ali> Do as you want

20:39 <Ali> Just don't middlemad things into here cause of it.

20:39 <Ali> middleman*

20:39 <Unixkitty> That's the kind of person Cepheid is, RichardMist. He's way over 20 if that's what you're wondering, and you don't need to worry about him this way. He has at least one doctor for that.

20:40 <RichardMist> I will do it personally

20:40 <Unixkitty> He finds it hard to control his temper sometimes and has strong opinions.

20:40 *** Quits: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-9hhn5l.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

20:41 <Ali> That's why I wanted him to step away

20:41 <RichardMist> wow, same as me 7 years ago

20:41 <Ali> But stubbornness gets in the way

20:42 <Ali> If this channel would've been more active I'd had to take more serious actions than just a quick mute of the channel

20:42 * Ali also wavies at Unixkitty

20:42 <RichardMist> oh, yes. Hoiii Unixkitty *waves*

20:42 * Unixkitty waves back, the rare sight

20:43 <Ali> Sorry you had to look in at that moment

20:43 <Unixkitty> I did because my pinger caught Cepheid swearing and sent me a notification :P

20:43 <Ali> Pft, the age filter huh

20:44 <RichardMist> I expected something like that

20:44 <Ali> Yeah its one reason why I wanted it to stop, cause the longer it would go on, the worse it would get

20:44 <Ali> If the channel was more active I would've cut that off sooner

20:44 <RichardMist> Ali it's okay, I am learning people

20:44 <Ali> But this place isn't as active as it was say six years ago

20:44 <Unixkitty> As for him, for years I've thought he'd benefit from participating in serious-discussion channels, but due to his talks ending up here quite often I doubt he has any.

20:45 <Unixkitty> Indeed.

20:45 <Ali> The biggest problem is covid is like a politicial topic

20:45 <Ali> everyone has their own thoughts and opinions on it

20:45 <RichardMist> yes

20:45 <Ali> and if they don't agree with what you say

20:45 <Ali> they get ticked

20:45 <RichardMist> I'm think that's out of rules

20:45 <Unixkitty> Isn't it though? I keep having to shut it down both in real life and in electronic places I moderate

20:46 <Ali> Like I said earlier

20:46 <Ali> I didn't want the topic to continue cause I knew it would bring something like this

20:46 <Unixkitty> I've also noticed it's most often than not, Americans who have the strongest opinions, but eh

20:46 <Ali> But nah, had to keep pressing and pushing buttons till he got the response they wanted.

20:46 <Unixkitty> And you were quite right.

20:47 <RichardMist> And the main is : he know that he will be muted and he continues

20:47 <Unixkitty> You know, for all the talks about realizing how toxic he can get, clearly Cepheid never learns to control it :P

20:47 * RichardMist *re-reading rulez*

20:47 <Unixkitty> It might be related to his mental conditions, I can't say.

20:48 <Ali> I dont' know

20:48 <Ali> But frankly I could've banned him

20:48 <Ali> But reasoning is next to impossible with someone ticked off.

20:48 <Unixkitty> Funnily enough, he's the most common name that pops up in my notifications :P

20:48 <Ali> Of course he does Unixkitty

20:48 <Ali> Just I don't do anything about it

20:49 <Ali> Probably should but, that would make this place even more dead

20:49 <Unixkitty> Yeah, like you said earlier about channel's activity

20:49 <Unixkitty> There's not that much impact anymore

20:49 <Ali> Yeah with the full cutoff from EqD, and them having their discord server

20:50 <Ali> There's really no traffic to come here now

20:50 <Unixkitty> Pbbt, Discord.

20:50 <Ali> Yeah I don't see the appeal of it either Unixkitty

20:50 * Unixkitty flails at the IRC clone

20:51 <RichardMist> I don't think that it's on mental level

20:51 <RichardMist> Maybe I can fix him like me

20:51 <RichardMist> Anyways, god with him

20:51 <Unixkitty> I can't even begin to think what that implies.

20:51 <Ali> You can try, but again, don't know if you can even contact them.  Even then, right now it probably wouldn't be the best

20:52 <Unixkitty> Absolutely not, he's too heated.

21:06 * Lumindia just scrolled up... "Oh... I'm kind of glad I wasn't here for that..."

21:06 <Ali> Yeah....

21:06 * Ali huggles on the Lumindia

21:06 * Lumindia pats

21:06 * Ali needs the pats a bit

21:07 <Lumindia> Honestly I'm just as anxious as anyone over COVID... I literally worried myself sick yesterday over thinking that I had it because my allergies were acting up

21:07 <RichardMist> hoiii Lumindia! *waves*

21:08 <Ali> Lets not get back onto that topic please..

21:08 <Lumindia> understrandable...

21:09 <Unixkitty> Here's a topic for you all to laugh about

21:09 <Unixkitty> I have yet to finish watching season 9

21:09 <RichardMist> Lumindia anyhow if you strong, you will be cured

21:09 <Lumindia> well I WAS going to post emergency kittens, but twitter broke for me

21:09 <Ali> But Unixkitty S9 is pretty good

21:09 <RichardMist> but let's stop that topic

21:10 <Lumindia> https://www.emergencykitten.com/

21:10 <Lumindia> this'll work

21:10 <Unixkitty> I couldn't bring myself to it

21:10 <Unixkitty> I just couldn't

21:10 <Unixkitty> Not because I didn't love every single second

21:10 <Unixkitty> But because I did.

21:10 *** jimm is now known as _jimm

21:11 <RichardMist> hoiiiii _jimm! *waves*

21:11 <Unixkitty> Back when it released, I've watched a few episodes, but I just couldn't continue. That would mean letting it end.

21:11 <_jimm> hey

21:12 <RichardMist> Unikitty... the perfect world that on we can't reach

21:15 <RichardMist> Anyways, ignore my last massage, it's my personal thought

21:16 <Unixkitty> Discord would let you delete or edit the message

21:16 <Unixkitty> IRC? It makes you think about what you type.

21:23 <Ali> Eeyup

21:23 <RichardMist> just typed my thought, yep

21:24 <Unixkitty> No worries, RichardMist

21:24 <RichardMist> okie

21:25 * Ali huggles on the Lumindia more

21:25 * Lumindia brushes

21:25 <Lumindia> = v=

21:26 * Ali leans into brushies

21:30 * RichardMist *huggles everypony*

21:47 <Lumindia> Ali is soft and cuddleable

21:47 * Ali huggles on Lumindia harder

21:52 * Lumindia squeakse

21:59 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

21:59 * Ali flops over the PinkieShy

21:59 <PinkieShy> hi :D

21:59 * PinkieShy hugs Ali

22:00 * Lumindia gives Ali a kiss on the nose

22:00 <Lumindia> o vo

22:00 * Ali squeaks and hugs the two

22:00 <PinkieShy> aww :3

22:00 <Lumindia> yer a super lovely poneh

22:01 <Lumindia> and we love you!

22:01 <Lumindia>

22:01 <Unixkitty> Oh hey, that heart symbol is showing in my terminal

22:01 <Unixkitty> What is this, Discord?

22:01 <Ali> PFT

22:01 <Lumindia> that's the ascii heart

22:01 <Lumindia> Alt+3 on the numpad

22:01 <Unixkitty> You don't say :P

22:01 <Ali> Was gonna say it might of been the ASCII one :P

22:02 <Ali> Now lets flood the channel with emojii's

22:02 <Lumindia> ►♥◄

22:02 <Ali> Oh wait...

22:02 <Ali> YOU CAN'T

22:02 <Unixkitty> I don't have a numpad on this laptop

22:02 <Lumindia> I could get some Shift-JIS nonsense in here

22:02 <Ali> Ah good old IRC

22:02 <Unixkitty> Heh

22:02 * Ali pat pats Lumindia. "Dun push eet."

22:03 <Lumindia> Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

22:03 <Lumindia> yeah that doesn't render in the font I use

22:03 <Unixkitty> It does for me

23:09 <Lumindia> My debt is paid off

23:11 <Schism|Adagio> Hah.

23:12 <RichardMist> ehm...

23:13 * Schism|Adagio flops in. "Long, long day at work."

23:13 <Schism|Adagio> Don't you love it when the last customer you get has 50,000 questions?

23:14 <Schism|Adagio> And... I see I missed a lot.

23:34 <Ali> Schism|Adagio, yeah....

23:34 * Ali won't blame Schism|Adagio if they don't want to talk to her anymore as well..

23:35 <Schism|Adagio> No, I'll still be here, Ali.  I'm a little disappointed that this happened, but yeah... I just hope Cepheid is okay.

23:35 <Ali> I didn't ask for it to happen..

23:35 <Schism|Adagio> No, I do know, it's not your fault.

23:36 * Ali nods slowly.

23:36 * Schism|Adagio hugs the Ali. "But I think I might be reading stuff tonight, not that I could play Factorio or Terraria on this potato anyway."

23:37 <Ali> Its fine, not asking you to on that PC

23:37 <RichardMist> Maybe it's my fault...

23:37 <Ali> No, you wouldn't have known that was the topic going on at the time RichardMist

23:38 <RichardMist> Maybe you're right...
