Let it be known that gq is indifferent to nuck.
<gq>
what? no, that can't be right
<gq>
nuck++
<purr>
Let it be known that gq loves nuck.
<nuck>
lol
<purr>
lol.
<gq>
tthere, jeez
* gq
just slept for the first time in days instead of sitting in front of the monitor being paranoid and hungry
<gq>
so now i'm...back on irc...being *slightly* less paranoid.
<nuck>
>ELLIOTTCABAL
<nuck>
What about ELLIOTTCOBOL
<nuck>
Which I guess is just Paws
<gq>
nuck: heh
<gq>
nuck: i was on github earlier and a) looked briefly at paws b) thought about programming c) had a heart attack d) went back to duolingo.
<nuck>
That's a good response
<nuck>
Especially D
<nuck>
What're you learning?
<nuck>
I'm currently like 1/4 into Dutch
<gq>
nuck: i was relearning French but after talking to a german woman from Rizon and a French Canadian who probably lives just across the border from me
<gq>
i decided i was doing French because it felt familiar (i had like...two years in HS and another year in university)
<gq>
so now i'm taking a chance with Deutsch.
<nuck>
I'm trying to learn Dutch because I'm half Dutch and have a fair number of friends in the Netherlands and Belgium who can help me ;D
<gq>
yeah...the 20 year old Dutch man i've been talking to between both our anxiety attacks has been helping me not infuriate the German woman i was talking to -.-;
<gq>
nuck: :)
<nuck>
Really? Most Germans I've talked to laugh at me for the Dutchisms
<gq>
i'm half german, half french, all american. french ancestors entered U.S. from canada 2-3 families ago
<gq>
german ancestors landed in the city fleeing the east coast as the world wars happened, trying to shed their accents long enough to find jobs.
<gq>
nuck: yeah i tend to get a mix of "typical american" and then diminuitive nicknames in $language
<gq>
but like...the kind of affectionate ones
<gq>
idk all american stories are like that. "and then the russian called me Stupid Mouse! he was my Best Friend at army camp!"
<nuck>
I don't know much about my father's side of the family, but my mother's parents immigrated from the Netherlands after WWII
<nuck>
My grandpa fought with the Dutch resistance
<nuck>
On a bike, which is possibly the most Dutch thing ever
<gq>
it really, really is.
<gq>
my living grandfather was in the air force in WWII.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hllo gq and nuck
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
python is a butt-hole
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
tell it to stop plz
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it is being mean to me
<nuck>
Oh god why would you use Python
<nuck>
I try to avoid poorly-designed languages
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
yeah
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
for a class
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Jupyter ugh I hate everything
<nuck>
Why would you go to school
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
web-interface for writing code? who ARE these people?
<nuck>
Be a dropout like me, ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
nuck: been there done that several times
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
this time I'm going ham
<nuck>
Delicious
offby1 has joined #elliottcable
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm very close to achieving my first 4.0.
<offby1>
ok, now why did I join this?!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
took me a decade to get around to it, but lawl whatever
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
offby1: you mentioned being into PLT, so
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
this is my small PLTSJWBBQ channel
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
although to be honest, the lang-design shit has gone pretty quiet since I returned to school this spring, so ... fair 'nuff if you're not a channel-lurker ;)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
(although *clearly* it is the best channel on all of Freenode, being named after *me*. ^_^)
<nuck>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I think my GPA is 1.99
<nuck>
I think they actually kicked me out
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
nuck: idk if I'll be able to keep this up
<nuck>
But I'd dropped out anyways
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
if I stayed CS, sure, it'd be trivial
<nuck>
So it's like who cares?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but I'm intentionally switching to something way more difficult for me
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so ... good chance my grades will tank when I hit the Hard Maths™
<nuck>
I couldn't even actually calculate my own GPA so I don't think I could reasonably pass Hard Maths™
<nuck>
I came up with a vastly different number than the school did...
offby1 has left #elliottcable ["Yoink!"]
<gq>
nuck: same. lost scholarships slowly, parents were furious
<nuck>
heh
<gq>
nuck: went from 3.8 to 2.0 in two years
<nuck>
Well, I qualified for a form of financial aid which isn't affected by grades
<nuck>
The "Board of Governors' Fee Waiver"
<gq>
ah
<nuck>
No idea how I qualified, but it's apparently not affected by GPA
<gq>
i also had a few of those
<gq>
which meant that when i started failing/slipping, people panicked because i was their golden child
<gq>
who they could point to, to be like "well, financial aid is good because we gave it to X Student, who succeeded"
<nuck>
looooool
<gq>
nuck: yeaaaah
