01:17 <ADragonDreaming> I'm pretty sure it's a troll. I hope it's a troll.

01:17 <ADragonDreaming> Someone suggesting that kids will lose their sense of time because a ball will take longer to drop in a cartoon than in real life.

01:17 <ADragonDreaming> ...For the sake of my sanity I am assuming troll.

01:22 * Schism returns now. She looks at her post, and her ramen, and starts really, really shivering.

01:24 <ADragonDreaming> why shivering?

01:24 <Schism> Meanwhile, the trolls in behaviour over the last few days are... well, we've been given permission to hang up on them.  This permission is never granted, and I'm sad that I have not once met them.

01:25 <Schism> Adra: It's really terrifying to be oneself.

01:26 <ADragonDreaming> I see that management finally figured out that it was more costly to keep accommodating the timewasters than to weather their ire by cutting them off.

01:27 <Schism> Yea.  They're good at taking care of the trolls.

01:27 <ADragonDreaming> On my end, I've kind of simply de facto set the policy of "you can hang up on them" - mostly by it never being stated that we *couldn't* and by me telling agents they can and nobody with more authoirty countermanding me.

01:27 <ADragonDreaming> Mostly in those cases "I'm not hanging up until this is fixed!" - No. You're not tying up the line.

01:28 <Schism> WRT the statement to my manager, she's honestly positive, she asked if I'd already spoken with a fellow trans agent, and she was genuinely okay.  I'm just... everything.

01:29 <ADragonDreaming> Oh, *that* post. Not the picture.

01:29 <ADragonDreaming> I had not seen that post.

01:29 * ADragonDreaming offers hugs

01:30 * Schism tries to be positive. Also, adds some cheese to her black bean ramen.

03:32 * Ali flops over the Apple_Jack

03:32 <Schism> But this doesn't taste like apples....

03:32 * Schism flumps.

03:32 * Ali brushies the Schism

03:34 <Apple_Jack> aaaaaaaaa

03:34 <Apple_Jack> I want to take their face... off

03:35 * Ali brushies Apple_Jack too

03:35 * Apple_Jack has a fancy mane now

03:38 * Ali puts Apple_Jack's cowgirl hat back on her and then snugs into.

03:39 * Apple_Jack does a snoogle

05:09 * ConfusionRift patpats Ali.

05:12 * Ali leans into ConfusionRift pats as the unicorn tries to find something to do that won't upset her

05:34 * ConfusionRift is thinking the same.

05:54 <Ali> My god can I not get a start where there's barbs everywhere or I'm just surrounded by the city states?

05:55 <ConfusionRift> o_0

05:59 <Ali> Thanks game, playing a civ that requires rivers to get their bonuses, and you give me only one small river that floods

06:10 * Ali licks ConfusionRift, why does the unicorn even try this game when it has it out for her.

06:11 * ConfusionRift does that sometimes.

06:11 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me of why I stopped playing Chronicles of Teddy.

06:12 <ConfusionRift> Game kept crashing on stage load.

10:01 <Finwe> Dappled: Stil attempting?

10:02 <Finwe> The developers of Dark Souls live solely on the frustration radiating from the players.

10:15 * Dappled has beaten. It's just been a really long time.

10:16 <Finwe> *Still

10:17 <Finwe> I only have Dark Souls 3. I made it relatively quick to the first boss. After that I haven't played.

10:24 * Dappled knows the secret to the first boss of DS3. Pyromancer.

10:27 <Finwe> o3o

10:27 * Dappled would argue that Demon's, Dark 1, 3, and Bloodborne all share what can be seen as a flaw. The inability to level up before the first boss. Now this can be seen as a good thing to teach players perservance and cautious play, but on the other hand, having a few more levels would probably be very

10:27 * Dappled helpful.

10:28 <Dappled> And yes, you technically can level up in bloodborne before the first boss, but you have to go out of your way to find a madman's knowledge and use it, so you aren't likely to do this unless you know about it.

10:42 * Filly_Nightmares purrr and wiggles into Dappled warms

12:42 <uni> do you know what's a terrible idea?

12:42 <uni> eating day-old sushi

12:43 * Lumindia baps Uni gently

12:43 <Lumindia> silly uni

12:43 * uni flops and whines softly

12:43 <uni> so painful

12:44 <Cyan_Spark> Oh dear

12:44 <uni> and this is less than a week after I ate 12 hour old guotie and fell sick

12:44 <uni> I never do learn

12:47 <Finwe> I hope you at least feel very smart after this move.

12:47 <Finwe> Otherwise it could have easily been left undone.

12:54 <uni> huh?

13:14 <Finwe> I mean, if you follow, as anyone should, the general directive "don't do wrong", then you must have seen some benefits in eating spoiled sushi.

13:15 <Finwe> Or at least determined the benefits to be greater than any associated disadvantages.

13:17 * Finwe dunce caps on uni, just in case.

13:18 * uni blinkblinks

13:19 <uni> in my defense it was the cooked sort

13:19 <uni> and was in the fridge

13:19 * Dapper_Dappled doesn't eat sushi.

13:19 * Dapper_Dappled is boring.

13:19 * Dapper_Dappled chews on sticks instead.

13:21 <uni> welp gonna sleep now

13:21 <uni> blurgh

13:32 * Schism attempts to call the pharmacy. It's closed. "Stupid Sunday hours."

13:34 <Cepheid> https://v.redd.it/rmpuojawrhs61

13:36 <Finwe> o3o

13:36 <Finwe> My nearest pharmacy is open until midnight every day.

13:37 <Finwe> Weekdays from 8 a.m., on weekend from noon to midnight.

13:40 <Schism> My local one is open until 7 PM most days -- but weekends.  On weekends, from 10 AM to 4 PM.

13:40 <Schism> Mind, I switched over to it because it's a 15-minute walk rather than a 45-minute one.

13:41 <Finwe> The one that is closest to me is located inside a hospital.

13:41 <Schism> There is a hospital pharmacy too...

13:42 <Schism> I guess that I might have a dispensary even closer, but I'm not sure about their hours at all.

13:46 <Finwe> Hmm, it could be about time to take my skis back to the basement.

13:51 <Finwe> There is still some snow left, but only near northern sides of buildings, on northern slopes of hills and where it has been piled up or pressed into ice.

14:57 * uni patpats

14:57 <uni> long day?

14:57 <Cepheid> No.  Just not sleeping well.

14:57 <Cepheid> Or if I am sleeping well, the medications I'm on are leaving me groggy.

15:04 <Cepheid> I'm on seroquel, which is basically a sedative.  It...

15:04 *** Joins: Pony|84874 (Pony84874@Pony-taj8dp.cable.virginm.net)

15:04 <Cepheid> I'm on a low dose, 75mg, or 50mg now as I'm reducing it back to 50mg as 75mg is too much.

15:04 <Cepheid> But long story short, it leaves me so groggy that I end up sleeping a lot more than doing anything else.

15:05 <Cepheid> I mean, yeah, that's a viable solution to my mental disorder, but...

15:16 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Rarity Music: SpinScissor - Boutique Fire [Alternative Electronic/Indie Pop] [ https://tinyurl.com/yzegopdu ]

15:16 <uni> ah side effects are always terrible

15:43 <Cepheid> Basically.

15:44 <Cepheid> It's an antipsychotic, apparently.  I guess technically knocking someone unconscious counts as an antipsychotic.

15:46 <Cepheid> ... I'm kind of surprised I was even prescribed this.

15:46 <Cepheid> This stuff has a known side effect of increasing blood-sugar and blood pressure.

15:47 <Cepheid> I'm diabetic, and on a blood pressure medication

15:47 <Cepheid> Though I'm not entirely certain I need the latter, these days.

15:48 * Schism refills her cyproterone. Or at least calls in a refill.

15:49 <Schism> Though tomorrow I'm going to have to pick up not just that, but also a blood pressure monitor.

15:50 <Schism> <Brother> What are you taking, anyway?  <Me> Mood enhancing and smoking cessation aids.  </LiteralTruth>

15:56 <uni> technical truths are the best truths~

16:51 <uni> turns out my stuff was not printing properly because I forgot to unset my negative horizontal expansion

16:51 <uni> so it was shaving material off an already tight print

16:51 <Finwe> Miss Dranae, Cepheid, Dapper_Dappled and uni.

16:52 <Finwe> I tried to go on a short promenade, but suddenly a wild lake appeared: https://photos.app.goo.gl/joAsWiu2ktCKtpgXA

16:53 <uni> that is some serious ponding

16:53 <Finwe> https://users.aalto.fi/~vhalkola/lenkki.png

16:53 <Finwe> I had to turn back and walk around the lake.

16:54 <Finwe> It usually disappears ere summer, as easily seen in the satellite image.

16:54 <uni> ooh it's a recurring thing?

16:56 <Finwe> In the spring when the snow melts there's so much water in the river that the lake reappers shortly.

16:56 <Finwe> There has been a permanent lake there but it has dried.

16:58 <uni> ah I see

16:58 * uni thought it was flooding and made a joke about euphemisms his government used

16:58 <Finwe> Or rather it was dried when a motorway was built across it.

17:13 <Finwe> I notice you've been rather grumpy lately.

17:13 <Cepheid> It's probably depression from pandemic stuff.

17:14 <Finwe> But it's only the second year.

17:14 <Finwe> We can't just go all grumpy at this point.

17:15 <Cepheid> I've been stuck indoors for 16 months, if I want to be grumpy, I can.
