<micahjohnston_> alexgordon: you've cracked jazz improvisation?
<alexgordon> micahjohnston_: calculus, man
<alexgordon> sorta
<micahjohnston_> ha ha what
<alexgordon> micahjohnston_: it's all in the inflection points
<alexgordon> ok so let's assume for a minute a human being is not capable of making out the distinct notes that someone plays, unless they play them very slowly
<alexgordon> the faster the music, the fewer notes are actually discernible
<alexgordon> but! music is still enjoyable
Guest36070 has joined #elliottcable
<alexgordon> how can something be enjoyable if you're missing most of the notes? well obviously your brain hears patterns instead of individual notes... and patterns move slower
<micahjohnston_> uhuh
<micahjohnston_> so inflection points?
<alexgordon> getting to it :P
<alexgordon> e.g. if you play a pentatonic scale, your brain says "hey that's a pentatonic scale, I like those!" instead of like "hey I heard an Eb and a Bb and an Ab..."
<alexgordon> yes so, if your brain is hearing patterns instead of individual notes, the most important bits of the music will be where the patterns change
<alexgordon> tension is just the end of one pattern and the start of another one
<alexgordon> now most people expect patterns to change in certain places, e.g. if you have two bars with two different chords you will necessarily have a pattern change in the second bar
<alexgordon> since the listener is expecting it, it's not very interesting
<alexgordon> but you can put the inflection points in unexpected places. e.g. if you go up one scale but go down on a passing note, it sounds *good*, because you haven't actually played anything dissonant, but it creates lots of surprise
<alexgordon> ...this is kind of hard to explain without playing it :P
<micahjohnston_> go down on a passing note?
<micahjohnston_> yeah I'm getting the impression of what you're saying but don't get your specific example
<alexgordon> ok so say you're the world's worst improviser and you play a C major scale
<alexgordon> C D E F G A
<micahjohnston_> haha
<micahjohnston_> ok
<alexgordon> you might stick a G# in there, just to make it a little less boring
<alexgordon> C D E F G [G#] A
<alexgordon> but as as a non-emphasised passing note
<alexgordon> as a listener, you're expecting that A, because that's just the natural note to play next
<alexgordon> but if you start going down from the G# -> C D E F G G# F# F [err insert rest of G# mixolydian because I can't work it out]
<alexgordon> it's pretty surprising, but in a consonant sort of way, since you're establishing a pattern by only using two scales
<whitequark> micahjohnston_: kinda
<whitequark> micahjohnston_: do they have macros?..
<whitequark> if yes I've missed that
<micahjohnston_> whitequark: I think atomo probably has macros
<micahjohnston_> whitequark: the part I find interesting though is the prototypical multimethods
<micahjohnston_> alexgordon: oh yeah I do that kind of thing
<micahjohnston_> good description/codification
<alexgordon> micahjohnston_: yeah, pianists do it a lot, especially when comping... but it's more, once you're aware of it, you can have a lot of fun with it
<micahjohnston_> mm
<alexgordon> if you make a conscious effort *not* to start stuff at the beginning of the bar or not to start it on a chord tone, makes a big difference
<alexgordon> I should say *after* a chord tone
<alexgordon> and it can be any pattern change at all really, like you could start a rhythmic pattern at an unusual harmonic place
<micahjohnston_> cool stuff

<gqbrielle> not that it's a bad thing, just very different

<purr> lol
<gqbrielle> i found other people to talk at
* Nuck was working diligently in Photoshop
<gqbrielle> also i took some meds.
<Nuck> Psh
<gqbrielle> oh. working for the cause, i assume
<Nuck> So, I've been thinking about some great job titles if I ever have to make a Job Posting
<Nuck> Like, we have titles like "Ruby Ninja" or "JavaScript Architect"
<gqbrielle> yeah
<Nuck> I wanna be a "JavaScript Dentist"
<Nuck> Or a "Python Proctologist"
<gqbrielle> programming titles are great for puns
<gqbrielle> oh my GOD that's a good one
<gqbrielle> is there a g one?
<gqbrielle> gynecologist?
<gqbrielle> Coffee Cunt Doctor
<gqbrielle> no that aint' right
<gqbrielle> *script, coffescript
<Nuck> Go Gynecologist
<Nuck> GO, GYNECOLOGIST, GO!
<gqbrielle> pffffffff
<Nuck> PHP's job title would just be "Retard"
<Nuck> Because you have to be mentally retarded to work with PHP
<gqbrielle> nah, i know lots of people with down's who program
<gqbrielle> mostly just shit for their own personal use, but still
<Nuck> gqbrielle: I'm pretty sure elliott has Downs.
<gqbrielle> Nuck: no, he has gqbrielle. i've named bipolar after me.
<gqbrielle> renamed, that is.
<gqbrielle> because i'm such a glaring case.
<Nuck> I thought him having you ended a while ago? :D
<gqbrielle> yep! he wishes otherwise.
<gqbrielle> :D
<gqbrielle> or he should, if he's got a brain that isn't doing shit like coding
<gqbrielle> so basically, if his dick has learned to think
<Nuck> You hear that he's trying to use his brain in his current relationship? Poor guy :(
<gqbrielle> snort.
<gqbrielle> i need at least 6 months before i'll believe it.
<gqbrielle> the moving means nothing.
<gqbrielle> aryan bastard.
<Nuck> "aryan bastard"
<Nuck> gqbrielle: WHITE POWER
<Nuck> gqbrielle: WHITE POWER

<Nuck> gqbrielle: WHITE POWER
<Nuck> gqbrielle: WHITE POWER
<gqbrielle> Nuck: he's literally a descendant of nazis
<gqbrielle> Nuck: ask him sometime
<Nuck> lmao
<Nuck> Not surprising
<gqbrielle> uinless that's one of those secrets i'm supposed to somehow magically remember is a secret
<gqbrielle> he's such a loudmouth
<gqbrielle> he can ruin his best friends' life but i have to protect him and his goddamned money
<Nuck> Well it's not a surprise to me.
<gqbrielle> i'm serious. his dad's fortune?
<gqbrielle> that shit aint' medical imaging (what does that even mean)
<gqbrielle> in alaska? nazi gold.
<Nuck> hahaha
<gqbrielle> that's where He hid.
<gqbrielle> it's a Name nazi, too.
<gqbrielle> one of the ones you know, if you paid any attention to history at all.
<Nuck> Doesn't surprise me at all.
<gqbrielle> basically.
<Nuck> I didn't.
<gqbrielle> ikr?
<gqbrielle> haha well. with a little googling, your eyes would be dinnerplates.
<gqbrielle> even you. i'm betting.
<Nuck> Well, I don't know his real name which kinda makes that tricky
<Nuck> And last I checked it's hard to tie his real identity to his online one
<gqbrielle> oh really?
<gqbrielle> then he was lying to me.
<gqbrielle> but i don't think he was.
<gqbrielle> fine. i hate him enough for being a rich fuck.
<Nuck> What do you mean?
<gqbrielle> goebbels.
<gqbrielle> google joseph goebbels.
<Nuck> Even I know who Goebbels is
<gqbrielle> goebbels - cable
<gqbrielle> he claimed cable was the americanization.
<gqbrielle> it may have been a lie, but it was a clever lie if it was.
<Nuck> heh that's interesting, but he told me Cable was actually the last name of one of his idols or something
<gqbrielle> well, if he's bipolar like i frequently suspect
<gqbrielle> and he's so smart
<gqbrielle> the lies layer each other.
<gqbrielle> til you can't remember the truth.
<Nuck> And I thouhgt Goebbels was one of hte ones that died
<gqbrielle> they're still prosecuting nazis.
<gqbrielle> they caught one in the u.s. a few years ago
<gqbrielle> he had the same last name as someone close to me, is why i found out
<gqbrielle> the fuckers at the top had money.
<gqbrielle> money to buy everyone off.
<Nuck> Well yes, but Joseph Goebbels was famous as hell
<gqbrielle> maybe he's just supposed to have died.
<gqbrielle> this was before the internet, Nuck.
<Nuck> If he did flee, he would not have fled to America
<gqbrielle> alaska?
<gqbrielle> was that even american then?
<gqbrielle> as cold and dead as it gets during the winter?
<gqbrielle> it's a perfect hiding place.
<gqbrielle> ESPECIALLY if you have money.
<Nuck> Probably not, I think Alaska was 1950s at earliest
<gqbrielle> *shrug* personal headcanon is accepted.
<purr> ¯\(º_o)/¯
<gqbrielle> thanks, purr
<Nuck> But anyways, we pursued the high-ranking nazis like nothing else.
<gqbrielle> whatever.
<gqbrielle> america still continues to be racist as hell.
<Nuck> That'd be a *lot* of paying off.
<gqbrielle> back then, jews weren't people.
<gqbrielle> it would be.
<gqbrielle> prolly just enough left for a nest egg.
<Nuck> Except in Brooklyn, where they were the only people.
<gqbrielle> i'm just saying, it's possible.
<gqbrielle> not probable.
<gqbrielle> but possible.
<Nuck> It's highly unlikely, but possible
<Nuck> I've often questioned whether Elliott Cable is actually a real person.
<gqbrielle> i've met him, remember?
<Nuck> Or not just some odd computer that gained sentience after being on the internet for too long
<gqbrielle> met, hugged, petted tucker
<Nuck> gqbrielle: Or *did* you?
<gqbrielle> well, i met the frontsman of the elliottcable corporation
<gqbrielle> or, if he's multiple, like i can be, then someone plausible was fronting.
<Nuck> Exactly. Maybe this was just a reasonable facsimile of Chuck Testa.
<Nuck> *by
<gqbrielle> it's like we known our own personal bermuda's triangle.
<gqbrielle> myth and person, all in one.
<Nuck> Elliott is actually just a stuffed bear corpse.
<gqbrielle> and he WANTS it that way.
<gqbrielle> which is why he giggles and lets us theorize.
<gqbrielle> this is all being logged.
<Nuck> Yep.
<gqbrielle> he or someone will read it later.
<Nuck> Yep.
<gqbrielle> he'll probably have it over breakfast, giggling.
<Nuck> Exactly.
<gqbrielle> which is why i want him to see how it is being me
<gqbrielle> for one day.
<gqbrielle> to be dehydrated.
<gqbrielle> to have the hospital treat you like literal shit
<gqbrielle> but...if he is who i think he is
<gqbrielle> he has
<gqbrielle> his cuntbitchmonster of a mother made the real elliott leave a long time ago.
<gqbrielle> now there's just hannibal lecter pretending to be a person.
<gqbrielle> i just haven't broken yet.
<gqbrielle> which makes me wonder when i will.
<Nuck> Well, I dunno if they make man-sized dehydrators
<gqbrielle> ha. no. see, i haven't had money to buy food or liquids for the last week
<gqbrielle> my abusive parents whose house i live in freak out if i steal shit.
<gqbrielle> and i'll be gods damned if i'll ask them for anything.
<Nuck> Don't you have indoor plumbing?
<gqbrielle> i have texture issues.
<gqbrielle> i suspect it's related to the as yet unoffical autism.
<gqbrielle> if i try to drink too much plain water at a time, i puke or gag.
<gqbrielle> texture/taste issues.
<Nuck> That's interesting.
<gqbrielle> that plus the mania means i haven't been eating or drinking more than about once a day.
<Nuck> Frankly I have trouble drinking plain water myself, but that's why I have a coffeepot.
<gqbrielle> caffeine is bad for bippolars, remember?
<gqbrielle> it makes us more ~crazy~
<Nuck> Yeah das not good for ya
<Nuck> It is?
<Nuck> News to me.
<gqbrielle> it's one of those Things i'm not supposed to have, medically.
<gqbrielle> caffeine. alcohol. other drugs.
<Nuck> Well damn
<gqbrielle> lack of sleep.
<Nuck> That's a boring lifestyle.
<gqbrielle> being bipolar and trying to stay sane
<gqbrielle> yes
<gqbrielle> exactly
<gqbrielle> that plus the PTSD
<gqbrielle> in my parent's house
<gqbrielle> it's like trying to be suicidal all the time.
<gqbrielle> so much of my energy goes to just keep myself happy so i can hang on for dear life.
<Nuck> As a programmer, I doubt I could live without caffeine. And probably once I turn 21 it'll be the same for beer.
<gqbrielle> yeah. that's one reason why i keep turning ec down when he offers to teach me to REALLY program
<gqbrielle> i want to be either a politician or a rockstar.
<gqbrielle> i think politician would suit me best.
<gqbrielle> i can represent the interests of people like me.
<gqbrielle> the crazies, the sad, the broken.
<Nuck> Yeah, you'd be a pretty good politician actually.
<gqbrielle> and have the bombastic personality necessary.
<Nuck> All politicians have anger issues automatically
<gqbrielle> yep. i'm gonna start trying to go for it thi syear.
<Nuck> So bipolar wouldn't be out of place
<gqbrielle> and they all say stupid shit.
<gqbrielle> precisely.
<gqbrielle> and congress is great for sick days n shit.
<Nuck> You've got all the qualifications.
<Nuck> Yeah and I hear the healthcare is baws.
<gqbrielle> yep :) specially after obamacare.
<gqbrielle> god knows i can self medicate with cutting and alcohol even when i'm not on ~official meds~
<gqbrielle> man, can you see me in congress?
<gqbrielle> when i wear tanktops...the top of my shoulder is all scarred up.
<gqbrielle> it's a big one, one that people ask about in public.
<gqbrielle> right now i have a fauxhawk with ramona flowers sideburns/bangs.
<gqbrielle> i'm gonna dye it hot pink next week.
<gqbrielle> fuck fitting in.
<Nuck> They'd probably have an uproar over you in congress.
<Nuck> All the old white men would be yelling things like "DYKE" and "WHORE"
<gqbrielle> i wish they would.
<gqbrielle> "sir, i'm non-binary. please create a new ungendered slur."
<gqbrielle> "sir, despite what you cry to your pillow about at night, i do not ACTUALLY have sex for money. if i did, i'd have a lot more dignified career.*
<gqbrielle> *"
<Nuck> lul
<gqbrielle> in high school
<gqbrielle> in the year book
<gqbrielle> i got Best Glare.
<gqbrielle> oh my god Nuck i am actually going to do this or die in the attempt.
<gqbrielle> i need a stovepipe hat for the press release
<gqbrielle> and a lincoln facial hair arrangement
<gqbrielle> oh my god i could do this by virtue of being Odd News alone
<gqbrielle> thank god this IS being logged, i need to remember this in the morning
<gqbrielle> probably actually might die of starvation
<gqbrielle> once this gets big my parents will never speak to me again
<Nuck> Better that way, by the sounds of it.
<gqbrielle> yeah, but still. they ARE my parents, and blar blar emotions, who needs em
<gqbrielle> that's why i'm so glad i went ahead and got the weird haircut
<gqbrielle> my dad hasn't spoken to me all day
<gqbrielle> my mom has but she was quite clear it Wasn't Okay by her.
<gqbrielle> fuck 'em
<gqbrielle> to borrow tucker maxipad's favorite saying, fuck 'em if they can't take a change
<Nuck> Tucker... maxipad?
<Nuck> Is that the dog's full name?
<Nuck> did elliott name it after feminine hygiene products?
<gqbrielle> oh, no, tucker max
<gqbrielle> known for writing what he calls Dick Lit
* Nuck lights gqbrielle's dick on fire
<gqbrielle> indulgent male party novels
* gqbrielle swats it out casually
<gqbrielle> when you're a big bad male like me, a thing like a dickfire won't be such an emergency
* gqbrielle pats your head
<gqbrielle> Nuck: did i ever tell you about the time i found a Anon at a starbucks?
<Nuck> gqbrielle: haha I find anons 24/7
<gqbrielle> Nuck: do you ever end up in a trolling duel and win?
<gqbrielle> Nuck: because that's what i did.
<Nuck> I ran into a Redditor in my Poli Sci class last semester, and I'm next to two /a/fags in my programming class
<Nuck> hahaha that's a new one. I usually do that on dA
<Nuck> So many trolling targets on deviantART, man
<gqbrielle> Nuck: this guy was really slick. he was flirting with everything with hips that walked by his damn stand.
<gqbrielle> Nuck: but he didn't mean any of it. now, he might have fucked some of 'em. but, you know how it is.
<Nuck> And by stand you mean penis?
<Nuck> hehe
<gqbrielle> nope, i mean a tiny little starbucks-inna-safeway.
<Nuck> I do that on deviantART, and I don't mean it either ;D
<gqbrielle> he was basically trapped.
<gqbrielle> it was kinda cute.
<Nuck> Ahhh
<gqbrielle> oh, i do it all the time without meaning to.
<gqbrielle> then becuase of my past
<Nuck> gqbrielle: Was he the worker?
<gqbrielle> i attract predators.
<gqbrielle> Nuck: he was on shift.
<gqbrielle> he could not escape.
<Nuck> :')
<gqbrielle> nor could he be openly rude.
<gqbrielle> i really should wnader into /b/ and make a post about it sometime.
<Nuck> How do you know he was an anon?
<gqbrielle> we managed to communicate it through the trolling.
<Nuck> Did I tell you about the innocent Freshman I turned into a /b/tard?
<gqbrielle> nah, but that shit's easy.
<Nuck> hahaha
<gqbrielle> freshman are like kittens.
<Nuck> It was hilarious, he went from a thin innocent guy into this fat /b/tard
<gqbrielle> you can turn em into tigers that you can have on a leash
<gqbrielle> or put em in a zoo, or basically anything you want
<Nuck> He's now a bigger /b/tard than I am
<gqbrielle> you mean you south park'd him?
<gqbrielle> i forget what that episode's name was
<gqbrielle> the thing about /b/ is it's like any other addictive substance
<gqbrielle> if you get addicted, you lose
<gqbrielle> the thing is the /game/
<Nuck> /the game/?
<gqbrielle> to be in over your head and yet to always be in control.
<gqbrielle> to be the top troll.
<gqbrielle> to be the top predator in the pack.
<Nuck> I'm still proud of that maneuver, cause he didn't even know what a "4chan" was
<gqbrielle> 4chan?
<gqbrielle> you know mean girls?
<gqbrielle> 4chan is plastics, but for bad people.
<gqbrielle> not entirely, the metaphor isnt' perfect.
<gqbrielle> but it's like that.
<Nuck> He'd never heard of it, he had no idea what a meme was
<gqbrielle> it takes humanity's want to be popular and loved and needed.
<gqbrielle> ooh, you really did get an innocent.
<gqbrielle> thanks for not raping him.
<Nuck> I introduced him to 4chan. By the time he graduated he was quoting memes and had a bigger /b/ folder than I did.
<gqbrielle> that's what happened to me my freshman year at college.
<gqbrielle> i'm being entirely sincere, which always makes me sad.
<gqbrielle> when i realise how fucked up my brain really is.
<gqbrielle> but i can still deal with channies telling me how hard they'd rape me.
<gqbrielle> because the point is the shell.
<gqbrielle> once i realise i'm with a pack of trolls, i can listen to anything.
<Nuck> haha
<gqbrielle> they use rape as a tool because they're not clever enough to use anything else.
<gqbrielle> seriously.
<Nuck> It's true.
<gqbrielle> that's it for me.
<gqbrielle> like once someone uses rape, i go darth vader.
<gqbrielle> I HAVE YOU NOW.
<gqbrielle> because i know how to win.
<gqbrielle> in general terms.
<gqbrielle> what's that quote? outsomething, outplay, outlast.
<gqbrielle> channies hate sports 'cos we're all nerds.
<gqbrielle> but damn if the endurance and gatorade commercials don't have some good lessons.
<gqbrielle> i used to play soccer before my fat genes kicked in.
<gqbrielle> heh, when i was little i used to look like a colt.
<gqbrielle> there's a photo of me at 10 and i just look like a horse otherkin in real life.
<gqbrielle> impossibly long legs.
<gqbrielle> meh. whatever.
<gqbrielle> and that's why i feel like i'll do well in congress, counsellor.
<gqbrielle> they ain't worse than the channies.
<gqbrielle> i've been to graduate school, coworkers.
<gqbrielle> you just graduated kindergarten.
* gqbrielle smiles grimly & cracks knuckles
<Nuck> HITLER RAPES BABIES.
<Nuck> gqbrielle: The difference between chantards and senators is that the senators actually believe what they're saying and aren't just trying to provoke people
<gqbrielle> i know. that's why it's hilarious.
<gqbrielle> they are sheep in my forest and i will tear them apart before they realise they're dead.
<gqbrielle> metaphorically, of course.
<gqbrielle> not that those shitheads understand metaphors.
<gqbrielle> all the better for me.
<Nuck> gqbrielle: You would totally just filibuster by saying "uterus" over and over.
<gqbrielle> Nuck: actually i'm going to write a song.
<gqbrielle> about all the different bits.
<Nuck> Ooooh that's good
<Nuck> Gotta make it go on forever
<gqbrielle> it's gonna be rhyme and be catchy as hell and get in everone who hear it's head
<Nuck> hahaha
<gqbrielle> either that or just sing/read the lyrics of map of tasmania
<gqbrielle> google that shit
<gqbrielle> it's about pubic hair.
<gqbrielle> and it is catchy as FUCK.
<Nuck> hahaha
<gqbrielle> the most repetitive part of the chorus goes OH. MY. GOD. fuck it. oh my god. FUCK IT. like that like 3x at once
<gqbrielle> c-span may have to rethink their bleeping policy.
<gqbrielle> i should start writing that song now, actually.
* gqbrielle opens wikipedia
<gqbrielle> there's a thing called a vagina \but it ain't what you think \settle down gentlemen \drink them drinks
<gqbrielle> first bit
<gqbrielle> rest of the lyrics.
<gqbrielle> it needs a bit of a southern accent to be sung right.
<gqbrielle> which should agitate the conservatives even further.
<gqbrielle> not that i imagine in TODAY'S congress i'd get much past the first line.
<gqbrielle> but gotta think forward....
<gqbrielle> bored now. so mad my sister went to bed.
* gqbrielle yawns
<gqbrielle> i'm tired of people on reddit
<gqbrielle> i try to be nice to them
<gqbrielle> but then they're so stupid
<gqbrielle> and it's like okay i don't care if i'm the only feminist you've ever seen on reddit and you need me to answer you RIGHT FUCKING NOW but i have a life outside reddit
<gqbrielle> sometimes the life is the only thing i have, barring suicide attempts, but i try to keep it up.

Nuck has joined #elliottcable
<Nuck> gqbrielle: You won't get banned... Probably
<Nuck> Ewwwwww
<Nuck> /b/ is spilling over to /w/
<Nuck> "Ritsu actually looks like a trap, so that guy is faggot. I hate faggots. %%Though I have to admit I butthurted a little. I need to be calmer.%%"
<Nuck> Telling me I'm a faggot for posting a wallpaper with Ritsu (from K-On!) with her hair down (which makes her really look rather androgynous)
<gqbrielle> oh my god it's like he can only speak in 1 word sentences
<gqbrielle> like the only way he can express himself is with 'fag/got/butthurt/trap'
<gqbrielle> it's like hearing a CD skip
<Nuck> hahaha
<gqbrielle> i'm like no, you're clearly a badly programmed android.
<gqbrielle> shhh, shh. don't talk. *reaches for hammer*
<Nuck> gqbrielle: Sentences make sense to me
<Nuck> Just... Rather stupid
<gqbrielle> they do to me too.
<gqbrielle> i'm an english major.
<gqbrielle> anon-ese is an easy dialect to learn.
<Nuck> "Oh because you look like boyish girls that means you're gay"
<gqbrielle> compared to, say, verbs in german (mein gut).
<gqbrielle> not even gay, juts 'bad'.
<gqbrielle> pejoratives that involve 'gay' and 'butthurt' are the only words that mean 'bad' that he knows anymore
<Nuck> gqbrielle: I think he meant both meanings here.
<gqbrielle> either that or they're tired. god knows it's hard to troll when one's runnin' low on sleep.
<Nuck> Because technically a trap is a boy, and liking a boy would be homosexual.
<gqbrielle> The Lifestyle isn't for everyone.
<gqbrielle> i think when you say 'technically' you mean 'by stupid people'
<gqbrielle> if i take ur dick away, are you a girl?
<Nuck> "Yes, she looks like a trap with her hair down, and I love every bit of it. Also, I'd like to note that /b/ is THAT WAY ---->"
<gqbrielle> automatically?
<Nuck> ^ my reply
<gqbrielle> too subtle.
<Nuck> You think?
<gqbrielle> needs more whatever contextual clues you can find to upset him.
<gqbrielle> i'd prolly go with what i said before.
<Nuck> mmmm true
<gqbrielle> "you're too dumb to comment here. leave. you annoy me with your presence."
<gqbrielle> anons HATE ti when you act like you're better than them.
<Nuck> haha this is true
<gqbrielle> it's the easiest way to get them riled up.
<gqbrielle> now, gotta be careful
<gqbrielle> otherwise you come home and they've eated your parakeet with chili, cartman style
<gqbrielle> but they're so fucking easy to troll on a low level.
<Nuck> Also, it's even funnier because I actually don't care if they have a penis or not.
<gqbrielle> DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
<gqbrielle> I'M ANON!
<gqbrielle> I HAVE MILLIONS BEHIND ME!
<gqbrielle> POORLY PLACED V FOR VENDETTA REFERENCE!
<Nuck> hahaha
<gqbrielle> QUESTIONING IF YOU ARE EVEN A MALE OR IF YOU'RE ONEA DEM QUEERS
<gqbrielle> NO WIMMENZ ON DA INTERNETS
<gqbrielle> OH WAIT DO YOU HAVE TITS
<gqbrielle> *insert 30 minutes of drolling over potential tits*
<gqbrielle> even the older ones who should know better than this middleschool posturing.
<Nuck> This guy seems to think traps are a *bad* thing to me
<gqbrielle> the 30 year old anons who act like that annoy me the worst.
<Nuck> I fucking love traps
<micahjohnston_> jesus christ i fucking hate /b/
<gqbrielle> lots of people do.
<gqbrielle> i think you mean 'people with unexpected genital confirguration'
<Nuck> Penis or no penis, if it's good lookin', I don't care.
<Nuck> gqbrielle: Yes.
<gqbrielle> yeah but 'it' doe
<gqbrielle> meh whatever
<gqbrielle> micahjohnston_: the only reason i 'like' them at all is that they're easy to manipulate for my purposes.
<Nuck> Well, "they're"
<gqbrielle> also they have a lot of points with me right now
<Nuck> /b/tards are fun to troll.
<gqbrielle> 'cos of the steubenville thing.
<Nuck> That's the only reason I care about them
<gqbrielle> i prefer channies. my ex gf's little brother has down's and he's smarter than those chumps
<Nuck> Otherwise I stick to my own boards, /w/ and /a/
<gqbrielle> i just don't go there.
<gqbrielle> reddit is toxic enough for me.
<gqbrielle> and less stupid, in some ways.
<gqbrielle> easier to find sincere people.
<gqbrielle> trolling can be exhausting ;P
<Nuck> Reddit is filled with conservative libertarian mens rights activists.
<Nuck> At least /b/ is just retarded.
<gqbrielle> aw, you're cute when try to be nice
<gqbrielle> it's like a crocodile bringing you your little sister
<gqbrielle> LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT!
<gqbrielle> "oh, baby, no. no. tsk."
<gqbrielle> "put that away and i'll teach you how to fetch republicans on command."
<gqbrielle> speak of the devil, time to do some reddit trollin'.
* gqbrielle cracks knucles
<gqbrielle> alts are beautiful things.
<Nuck> :')

<Nuck> Even I, somebody who is actively against feminism (not the ideas, just the movement), can't stand Mens Rights activists.
<Nuck> ... HOLY SHIT
<Nuck> Apparently Kim Dotcom took over an ice cream place for a day and served free ice cream in New zealand
<Nuck> With 10 golden-bottomed cups which won you a chance to see his mansion
<Nuck> This is goddamn masterful PR

<vil> which unicode character should I use to represent backgrounded processes in my zsh prompt?
<prophile> vil:
<vil> yep
<vil> definitely
<vil> thinking ⎇
<vil> needs an extra space since it's double-wide, but I like it
<Nuck> vil: iTerm handles double-wide characters automatically :3
<nooga> no shit, my terminal actually displays that character :O
<Nuck> Same here.
<Nuck> Good unicode-capable terminals should.
<vil> Nuck: yeah, I switched to iTerm
<devyn> shit north korean airlines have good in-flight food
<vil> et viola: http://cl.ly/O0Zv
<vil> I love it
<devyn> seriously that in-flight food looks much better than anything you'd get on most flights
<devyn> lol
<purr> lol
<vil> that does look pretty good
<devyn> ah yes the famous Hyangsan hotel, where, usually, you're the only guest there

<vil> guys C is hard
<FireFly> vil: hm, nice idea
<FireFly> to show # of backgrounded processes in the prompt
<FireFly> vil: how do you count background jobs? (anything better than `jobs | wc -l`?)
