00:17 * Ali is super grumbly.

00:19 * Schism noms upon Ali's ears. Is pretty sure that if she stumbles upon full girlism, it's by accident.

00:20 * Ali flumps into Schism, saying nothing.

00:20 * Schism just huggles the Ali.

00:21 <Ali> Today is just a day of I don't want to be here and deal with this garbage anymore type of day.

05:03 * Schism noms upon Ali's ears. And hugs her close. :<

06:11 <Amelia> Afternoon, ponies

06:13 * Schism waves to the Amelia. And offers a bacon mushroom cheeseburger with swiss cheese and lots of tomatoes and lettuce.

06:17 <Amelia> Thanks ^^

06:18 <Schism> Shadowed: https://twitter.com/assignedbrave/status/1417207576345841665

06:43 <Finwe> Morning, everypony.

06:44 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Amelia and Schism; Messrs AppleDash, Cepheid, Lumindia, PinkieShy, Shadowed and Uni.

06:44 * Finwe doffs his hat.

06:44 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail.

06:46 * Schism has already doffed her foxes. So! Also, she reiterates to Finwe that Shadowed is a madame.

06:55 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-jnroht.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

07:03 <Finwe> Mr Cyan_Spark.

07:17 <Finwe> Greetings, Sunrise_Flare.

07:17 * Finwe doffs his hat.

07:18 <Sunrise_Flare> ok weird

07:19 <Finwe> Schism: Well, according to an old French principle, any group of people with at least one male in it is referred to as "ils" and "messieurs".

07:20 <Schism> I suppose that's something.

07:20 * Schism shrugs, and doffs her cabbage rolls.

07:28 * Finwe noms on his breakfast consisting of yoghurt, rye bread and orange juice.

07:29 <Finwe> And one vitamin D pill.

07:31 * Schism looks at her kitchen. "Breakfast will be interesting this morning."

07:34 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.

07:35 <Schism> Good morning.  Would you like to eat a blue shell?

07:35 <Schism> I mean, um, how're you?

07:35 <ConfusionRift> A blue shell? o_0

07:35 <Ali> As an orc peon would say

07:35 <Ali> I WOULD LOVE TO

07:35 * Schism has a hankering for Mario Kart.

07:35 <Schism> Ali: So you would like to face me on the kartfield?

07:36 * Ali mehs at Mario Kart 8, it should've been 9

07:36 <ConfusionRift> And hey there. Doing alright. Just cooling down.

07:38 * Schism nodnods.

07:38 * Schism also doesn't seem to have Ali on her Switch friends list...

07:38 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.

07:38 <Finwe> o7

07:39 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

07:39 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail and collection of Mario Kart games.

07:39 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7

07:40 * Schism also boops the ConfusionRift. And the Koopz. Hopefully Koopz isn't too terribly put out by her throwing the shell of one of his cousins.

07:41 * ConfusionRift doesn't have Mario Kart. Sorry.

07:41 <Schism> Awr.  Perhaps in future.  Not even Super Mario Kart?

07:41 * ConfusionRift shakes his head.

07:42 <Schism> So Nintendo Online thingy?

07:42 <Schism> No*

07:42 <ConfusionRift> Not sure if it's still up. Have to check.

07:42 <Finwe> Homing shells are best shells.

07:42 <Koopz> I don't really mind... If you're in posession of a shell, it means the original owner wasn't strong enough to defend it with his life. The Koopa Troops have no place for weaklings.

07:42 <Schism> If 'tis, we could play...

07:42 <Schism> Also, hee.  o3o

07:43 <Finwe> Also, never underestimate the power of banana peels.

07:43 <Ali> Or doing Toad's Turnpike on Mirror

07:43 <Schism> whoof.

07:44 <Schism> That latter.  @_@

07:44 <Schism> Ali: We should race against one another... soon...!

07:45 * Schism checks to see if there's a ConfusionRift on her friends list. She blehs. "Surely I do...!"

07:45 <ConfusionRift> I should be there.

07:46 <Finwe> It seems that insects can learn things.

07:46 <Schism> BigChungus?  Just seeing... I swear my memory leaks like a thing which lets liquids through while holding back appreciable solids.

07:47 <Finwe> After several futile tries of flying through my window, a trapped butterfly finally figured out that it's more profitable to go around the glass.

07:47 * ConfusionRift coughs. "Talos..."

07:47 <Finwe> The Talos Principle.

07:47 <Schism> I see you.  Not online, but I see you.  Sorry...

07:47 <ConfusionRift> I'm not on at the moment.

07:48 <Schism> Would you like to run a brief race?  If not, that's okay.

07:48 <Schism> Finwe: A fine enough adventure game.  Not the current intent, tho.

07:50 <Finwe> I bought it last year.

07:55 <ConfusionRift> Schism: Membership expired last month, have to renew. Can't at the moment though.

07:56 <ConfusionRift> Will likely get to that when I get paid.

07:56 <ConfusionRift> Oh, in a couple of days.

07:58 * ConfusionRift kinda forgot what today was.

07:58 * Schism oh wells...

09:47 <Cyan_Spark> Wait, that's not right...

09:49 <Finwe> Or at least I don't make any noise about it. :#

09:49 <Finwe> :3

09:52 <Golden> Something about MHS2 isn't clicking with me.

09:59 <Shadowed> /me chews on all the stuff.

09:59 * Shadowed chews on all the stuff.

10:00 * Finwe chews on Shadowed's extra space in the beginning of the line.

10:01 <Shadowed> Nya!

10:02 * Shadowed only had a 9 and half hour work day today. Such decadence and luxury. /x

10:02 <Shadowed> /s

10:07 <Finwe> /me noms on Shadowed. o3o

10:08 * Shadowed wriggles at the noms!

10:08 <Finwe> Note, without the leading space. o3o

10:08 * Shadowed nyas more. Can actually type when she wants to.

10:08 * Finwe renoms on Shadowed's tail.

10:12 * Shadowed has a swishy tail.

10:13 <Shadowed> Apparently they've announced that Season 2 of Wheel of Time has begun filming. Amazon must be convinced season 1 is going to go quite well considering it's not been released yet.

10:14 <Finwe> Ah, Wheel of Time.

10:14 <Finwe> Robert Jordan's revenge to anyone who accidentally read the first book.

10:14 <Finwe> I didn't.

10:15 * Shadowed has read the whole series mutliple times. It has its issues, and dear god I hope that who ever is in charge of the series does a better job directing women than Jordan was at writing them.

10:15 <Finwe> Rigney, actually.

10:15 <Finwe> Rober Jordan is just a pen name.

10:16 <Finwe> The actual person behind the series is James Rigney.

10:16 <Shadowed> Almost every single woman in those books had the same damn tic of smoothing their skirts. Gimme some variety to distinguish your characters!

10:17 <Finwe> He should be a warning example to George Martin.

10:17 <Finwe> Died before finishing the series.

10:17 <Finwe> How long have we been waiting for The Winds of Winter to be published?

10:18 <Finwe> Ten years?

10:18 * Shadowed expects Elden Ring to be renamed The Winds of Winter so he can say he got it out there.

10:21 <Shadowed> In all seriousness, at least Jordan (I'm going to refer to him forever as that, as that's what he published the books under) had enough notes and an end goal in sight for Sanderson to finish the books.

10:24 <Finwe> Indeed.

10:25 * Shadowed hasn't read GoT so has no idea if Martin has been setting up for a climax or if it's one of those series that keeps having more books because the last book sold so well.

10:26 *** Quits: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net) (Connection closed)

10:26 <Shadowed> Like, as much as I love Mercedes Lackey, the Valdemar series is just filling in details at this point the big climax that everything built towards was released feels like at least a decade ago.

10:26 * Shadowed will have to look at publication dates.

10:27 *** Joins: Apple_Jack (Prius@Pony-jq33t7.ipv6.telus.net)

10:28 <Finwe> Shadowed: Should be sometime in the upcoming autumn.

10:28 <Finwe> S1E1 "Leavetaking", directed by Uta Briesewitz.

10:29 <Shadowed> Yeah, the Mage Storms trilogy was the 4th trilogy of Valdemar that Lackey put out and was published in 1994-1996. That was the big climax for that series and she's been putting more books out ever since.

10:30 * Shadowed wishes that the WoT series wasn't tainted by Amazon but I'll take what I can get.

18:46 <Cepheid> So, I'm without a job again.  Long story short I had a psychotic breakdown at work.

18:46 <Cepheid> Maybe trying to force the issue of work while in a massive depressive bend is not a good idea.

18:51 <Schism> Crap.  Are you doing better today, at least?  And that sucks massively...

18:56 <Cepheid> Mood-wise, same-old, same-old.  My mother's suspecting it's because my sister is back home, strangely, because I went through this last year according to everyone in my family, at exactly the same time.

18:56 <Cepheid> Either that, or it's a seasonal thing during the Summer, now.

18:57 <Schism> That latter is a possibility.  I know that the summer is usually a bit more stressful here...

18:57 * Schism also ows. Stupid growth pain. And shrinking hands.

19:37 * LibrarianofHope pokes schism

19:37 <LibrarianofHope> smol fox hands

19:38 <Cepheid> On the other hand regarding my mental health, I'm starting to get frustrated and irritated with the mood, so I think I'm moving onto the "next phase" of whatever is wrong exactly.

19:38 <Cepheid> Which probably means punching stuff soon.

19:43 <LibrarianofHope> investing in a punching bag kind of deal might be good

20:22 * Schism notes that the ligaments in her extremities have shrunk with the removal of T. Therefore, hands are smoler, feet are smoler -- each only slightly, though, because it's not about to start shrinking her metacarpals or metatarsals.

20:25 <Schism> Cepheid: Mmm.  Well, at least punching stuff will help a bit.

20:49 * Shadowed flops. Sup?

20:50 * Ali grabs Shadowed and hugs tightly

20:50 * Shadowed hugs Ali. Morning.

20:52 * Ali boops that its 5pm here and nibbles Shadowed ears to try and feel better.

20:53 * Shadowed ear flaps at Ali and says she hasn't had breakfast yet, let alone lunch. Morning for this night shift pony.

20:54 * Ali pat pats Shadowed and puts her in skirt

20:54 * Shadowed swishy skirts!

20:58 * Ali huggles on Shadowed and nuzzles lots

21:00 * Shadowed skirts are very important.

21:47 * Finwe hats on Ali.

21:47 * Ali flops over Finwe

21:48 * Finwe 's mind turns into a brezel trying to figure out the geometry of aforementioned manoeuvre.

21:49 * Ali is unicorn, think

21:49 * Finwe noms on Ali's horn.

21:49 * Shadowed tries to understand the word brezel without bothering to google.

21:49 <Finwe> o3o

21:50 <Finwe> Shadowed: It's a German salty confection.

21:50 * Shadowed nods.

21:50 <Finwe> Looks a lot like a knot.

21:51 <Finwe> Bretzel in Alsatian, Pretzel in some eastern dialects.

21:52 * Shadowed stares at Pretzel. This is a confection?

21:52 <Finwe> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretzel#/media/File:Kampsbrezel.jpg

21:52 <Finwe> One of those.

21:53 * Shadowed nods.

21:54 <Finwe> I really don't know what it should be called.

21:54 <Finwe> The Swedish word is "kringla".

21:55 <Finwe> But it does not exist in English.

21:55 <Shadowed> An uncultured american would just call that a Pretzel.

21:56 <Finwe> It's not a pastry because it's not made of pastry dough but normat wheat dough like any other white bread.

21:56 <Finwe> A confection would be some baked sweed good rather than salty, I guess.

21:56 <Finwe> *sweet

21:57 <Finwe> "a brittle or chewy glazed usually salted slender bread often shaped like a loose knot"

21:58 <Finwe> is what Merriam-Webster gives as definition for "pretzel".

21:58 <Finwe> Which is, as I pointed out, a Prussian or maybe Bohemian form of the word.

21:58 <Finwe> Brezel is standard High German.

22:00 * Finwe turns Ali's tail into a pretzel and noms on it.

22:00 <Finwe> o3o

22:00 * Ali turns Finwe into a pretzel and puffycheeks

22:01 <Finwe> Plaited tail, my favourite. o3o

22:01 * Finwe boops the puffcheeking unicorn.

22:01 <Finwe> *puffycheeking

22:04 <Finwe> Puffycheeking's cute, innit?

22:08 * Schism makes up some KD. Then she considers, and chops up some leftover hamburger, red onion, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and a pepper or two, and adds the lot.

22:28 * Finwe calls Schism out.

22:28 <Finwe> Oh, "it", like in colloquial Finnish.

22:30 <Finwe> Everyone is "it", the third person demonstrative pronoun, except some pets can be called with the third person personal pronoun.

22:31 <Finwe> Finnish does not make any difference betwixt genders, so there's no clear English equivalent.

22:31 * Schism also yawns. And notes, "Hm. Yes, the platypus is a fine trans icon, much like the blue shark."

22:32 <Finwe> The "they" sometimes used in gender-indefinite meaning might be close.

22:32 <Finwe> Although it's plural.

22:35 <Finwe> I should probably get some sleep, I'm going to walk 40 kilometres each day for the next four days. o3o

22:35 <Finwe> With a 10-kilogramme backpack.

22:36 * Finwe cools Ali's tail in order to be able to sooth his sore feet with it.

22:36 <Finwe> *soothe

22:37 <Cepheid> These are the worst glasses I have ever owned.

22:37 <Cepheid> Default positioning of them results in slight blurriness.

22:37 <Finwe> Spectacles?

22:37 <Finwe> Obviously so.

22:37 <Cepheid> Raise my glasses up about half an inch, sharp as a knife.

22:38 <Finwe> Well then, good night, everypony!

22:38 <Finwe> !lullaby

22:38 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed

22:38 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby

22:38 <Finwe> !shoo

22:38 * DerpyBot sways from side to side, quietly humming "shoo be doo shoo shoo be doo"

22:39 <Schism> o3o  https://gail.com/

22:40 <Cepheid> Heh.
