_Pyrrh: “ELLIOTTCABLE - if you're interested, maybe I can get on the same page on here?”
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: huh?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
_Pyrrh:* huh?
<_Pyrrh>
That was a couple days ago during twitter discussion
<_Pyrrh>
disregard :)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: i Don't even remember, what was it
<pikajude>
What?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
dfuckckkf'
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
_Pyrrh: /nick Pyrrh_
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
:P
<_Pyrrh>
I should do that
_Pyrrh is now known as Pyrrh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that is also suitable :P
<Pyrrh>
I need to find where the alt nicks are hiding in this UI
<Pyrrh>
in any case, the discussion was about crushes and whatnot I think
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm watching Galaxy Quest
<jfhbrook>
that's a decent movie
<jfhbrook>
I love alan rickman in GQ
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Pyrrh: ugh yes O re,e,ber tjat now
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wow
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
typing
<ljharb>
galaxy quest is more than decent
<ljharb>
it's one of the most underrated scifi movies ever
<jfhbrook>
I'm also a big fan of understatement ljharb
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
i'm enjoying it rn
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I forgot it existed
<ljharb>
jfhbrook: touché
<jfhbrook>
ahahahahahaha oh man
<jfhbrook>
hold the phone
<jfhbrook>
sorry
<jfhbrook>
something just happened
<jfhbrook>
so do any of you moderate facebook groups?
<jfhbrook>
or is that something only I am left to bear?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
alan rickman
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-find alan rickman
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: Could not find `alan rickman`.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-learn alan rickman = Could not find `alan rickman` ... but I miss him.
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: Learned `alan rickman`.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-find alan rickman
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: Could not find `alan rickman` ... but I miss him.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
jfhbrook: wow, ew, no
<jfhbrook>
no?
<jfhbrook>
well let me tell you!
<jfhbrook>
actually Pyrrh do you have admin on AKRR fans?
<Pyrrh>
no I did at first but then I didn't anymore? idk why
<Pyrrh>
you can add me back though if you want :P I don't mind
<jfhbrook>
so ELLIOTTCABLE like 7 years ago a friend of mine created a facebook group called "Alaska Railroad Fans." and it was just like 12 of us and nbd
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
omg wtf
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
also I'M AN ARR FAN!
<jfhbrook>
ELLIOTTCABLE: but then a reality show about the alaska railroad happened, and now it's at 1700 users all "what happened to danny and animal lol"
<purr>
lololol
<jfhbrook>
but the thing is
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
danny and animal lol?
<ljharb>
rofl
<jfhbrook>
characters from the tv show Railroad Alaska
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wtf is that
<jfhbrook>
it's a tv show about the alaska railroad and off-gridders
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that sounds terrible
<jfhbrook>
but the THING
<jfhbrook>
the THING is
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
can we make that NOT be a thing
alexgordon has quit [Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
is there a way to do that
<jfhbrook>
think about the kind of people that are into these kind of shows
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
possibly using tactical nuclear armaments
<jfhbrook>
(spoiler: one correct answer includes "trump supporters")
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
oh, lord, what
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so you have to moderate a group that doesn't share your views? that sounds un-fun
<jfhbrook>
so this guy wants to join my group that is sharing ultra racist ant-blm/anti-black pro-police memes
<jfhbrook>
and I said no because it's my group and I can reject racists if I want to
<jfhbrook>
but now the dude is back
<Pyrrh>
holy moly people are crazy
<jfhbrook>
aaaand he shared a meme making fun of michelle obama for not being as hot as the princess of spain or the first lady of france
<jfhbrook>
(ftr I think michele obama is gorgeous)
<Pyrrh>
tbh I do too
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
IN GALAXY QUEST
<Pyrrh>
v classy
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
THE ALIEN IS HOLDING A SPECULUM, WTF
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
WHY
<jfhbrook>
let's see, anti-syrian-refugees post from an internet-only "news network"
<jfhbrook>
some dude in one of my irc channels has a problem with sleeping with other peoples' wives and is looking to me for sympathy and idk what to do
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I just set up a script to run clang-format every time the file changed on disk
<alexgordon>
sup incomprehensibly
<incomprehensibly>
hi alexgordon
<jfhbrook>
my life is weird
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
because I didn't have time to yak-shave Elliott-opinions about systems C
<jfhbrook>
actually *my* life is boring, other peoples' lives are weird
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
jfhbrook: why is that his problem?
<alexgordon>
incomprehensibly: lolol @ dictionary posting a definition of dictionary
<jfhbrook>
because he could idk fucking say no?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
sounds like the other peoples' wives problem; or depending on their outlook on life, possibly the other peoples' wives' husbands' problems
<jfhbrook>
I don't see it that way :( like sure these women are being shitty to their husbands, and their relationships must not be 100% of this is a thing that is happening but
<Pyrrh>
jfhbrook: some people want what they can't have and also don't respect boundaries they aren't a part of. whoooooo knows why. I wouldn't give him sympathy either
<jfhbrook>
come on
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
8:28:26 PM <jfhbrook> I don't see it that way :( like sure these women are being shitty to their husbands, and their relationships must not be 100% of this is a thing that is happening but
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
you just literally basically said the same thing I did, so I don't see how you *don't* see it the same way? :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Oh, I missed the ‘sure’
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
idk I'm really not big on monogamy
<jfhbrook>
that doesn't absolve him of responsibility
<jfhbrook>
and don't get me wrong, if everyone's down for poly that's fine and great
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
actually scratch that I'm actively anti-monogamy-as-the-default, and I consider monogamy-as-the-default to be an aspect of oppression
<Pyrrh>
non-monogamy is fine as long as everyone involved is informed and consenting
<jfhbrook>
but obviously not everyone was down for poly
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so I get pretty pissed when people make Assumptions™ w.r.t. monogamy
<jfhbrook>
call me a jealous person I don't care, I won't have it
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol
<purr>
undefined
<Pyrrh>
but then in any responsible relationship there should always be informing and consent
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
8:29:33 PM <Pyrrh> non-monogamy is fine as long as everyone involved is informed and consenting
<alexgordon>
lol you guys
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook: he's not your boss or family member then who cares?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
accurately and precisely represents the precise inverse of how I feel.
<incomprehensibly>
alexgordon: i thought it would be cute haha
<Pyrrh>
really?? Huh.
<jfhbrook>
it's a support group channel alexgordon
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Monogamy is … generally *okay*, ish, as long as it's entirely opt-in, well-understood by every partner, and not used as a tool for oppression or manipulation.
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook: oh lol I thought this was just some guy in ##c
<jfhbrook>
fuck no
<alexgordon>
actually if it were some guy in ##c I wouldn't be surprised
<jfhbrook>
mental health support channel
<alexgordon>
man those guys are cold
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
##C *isn't* a mental-health support channel?
<jfhbrook>
heh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-what
<purr>
<prophile> if a tree falls in the forest, and is linked with LTO...
<cloudhead>
#vim is worse
<Pyrrh>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I'm really curious about the view that non-monogamy shouldn't require everyone involved to know that's what's going on
<incomprehensibly>
ELLIOTTCABLE: that's a pretty libertarian way to look at relationships
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lmao wut
<alexgordon>
magsafe saves my computer for the 5th time this week
<incomprehensibly>
in that shit's all fine if it follows the paper contracts and doesn't matter if it hurts people
<jfhbrook>
the way *I* see it
<jfhbrook>
and I'm pretty clueless here
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
incomprehensibly: completely the opposite of how I feel?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
monogamy, throughout my life and experience, everywhere *except* on TV,
<jfhbrook>
but the way *I* see it is, about the time you have the "so what ARE we" conversation it should be pretty clear if poly is going to be a thing in the relationship
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
is something I've only ever seen used to wound, hurt, control, and oppress.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I see very little positive in it.
<jfhbrook>
fuck I need to drink more
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I *do* believe some people do it carefully, and well, and don't use it to wound; but that is absolutely, **definitely**, not the common case.
<alexgordon>
it's probably a bad idea, for personal safety reasons, to sleep with other people's wives. Especially in america where everybody is armed to the teeth
<Pyrrh>
I absolutely agree that people end up forced into monogamy when they are actually poly but monogamy itself is not inherently a bad thing, just the way our society has treated it
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I lol'd alexgordon
<purr>
lolwut
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Pyrrh: that ... seems pretty much in alignment with my recent views /=
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but that's like saying that race isn't important except in how it's treated by our society, or saying that gender is a construct
<Pyrrh>
I wish people could find a way to dig deep and figure out what they really want and need and honor themselves instead of doing whatever they think they are "supposed to"
<Pyrrh>
Yeah that's a good point
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's a meaningless statement in any pragmatic way, and feels like a derailment?
<Pyrrh>
not my intention, but noted that that was the outcome. my apologies
<incomprehensibly>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I agree to some extent that monogamy as a presumed default contract for relationships results in shitty stuff a lot of the time.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
no apologies lol I'm just trying to figure things out here
<jfhbrook>
fuck now this guy's saying suicidal things
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
tl;dr: Monogamy, the way it's actively practiced, is bad for people; and more importantly, is reliably and actively worse for any oppressed peoples involved
<incomprehensibly>
ELLIOTTCABLE: but like. when two people have a pre-agreed-upon monogamous relationship, and you have sex with one of them without the other one knowing, you KNOW that that will constitute a betrayal of that agreement
<jfhbrook>
you see why this matters more than just some dipshit rando in ##c no?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
thus, Monogamy ~== Bad
<Pyrrh>
I can definitely get on board with that tl;dr
<incomprehensibly>
ELLIOTTCABLE: lol i'm going to call bullshit on the intersectionality multiplier there
<alexgordon>
lol you guys...
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
multiplier?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
alexgordon: HI WELCOME TO THE NEW #ELLIOTTCABLE
<incomprehensibly>
like "worse for oppressed people"
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
would you prefer I talk about Paws? :3
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so, executions
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: IT'S AWFUL
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
are basically like continuations
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but not really
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and can time-travel
<incomprehensibly>
ELLIOTTCABLE: anyway, if you want to solve/get rid of monogamy, the solution is NOT to go around fucking people's spouses.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's p. cool
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: but still better than metaphysics #elliottcable
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
incomprehensibly: oh, agreed
<alexgordon>
man that was shit
<incomprehensibly>
it's to raise awareness of the option of nonmonogamy
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I don't think it's a GOOD thing
<incomprehensibly>
I think it's an actively hurtful thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I just don't think it's a *BAD* thing.
<incomprehensibly>
I think it is a bad thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
If you, and another human, like eachother, then their interactions with third parties only affect you in ways that, well, directly affect you.
<incomprehensibly>
like you have two local maxima of goodness
<incomprehensibly>
monogamy and polyamory
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
For instance, as a signifier as *their* potential as an exclusive partner: mayyyyybe not so good, lol?
<purr>
lol
<incomprehensibly>
and fucking someone's spouse is dragging people down the hill into a local minimum
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hm
<Pyrrh>
I'd agree that violation of a contract you entered into is a bad and harmful thing, but what about a person who has been tricked/trapped/etc into it? it's such a gray area
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
like, definitely: we're having a discussion sans context
<Pyrrh>
like, none of us know *why* these wives are going outside their marriages
<incomprehensibly>
if you fuck someone's spouse you ARE interacting with that person
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and sans specific context that negates it, I think I can make a general statement that <some other supposedly-monogamous relationship> is irrelevant to <your relationship with a person>
<jfhbrook>
The context in this case was pretty clear
<jfhbrook>
he did not expect his friend to fuck his wife while he was out of town
<incomprehensibly>
by YOUR actions, you are causing the situation of their life to change from having a loyal spouse to having a disloyal spouse
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
er, what
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
absolutely and categorically not the case
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the person was already a loyal spouse
<incomprehensibly>
ok so if you KILL someone
<incomprehensibly>
you're not affecting their spouse
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
you aren't *seducing* someone away using your Mind Powers
<incomprehensibly>
you're just affecting your relationship with that person
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the person is a willing, consenting partner *already*
<jfhbrook>
in fact it was like, hey, take my wife out to dinner so she has something to do but DON'T fuck her
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
as a pre-requisite for this discussion
<jfhbrook>
I was even like, bro don't give her a foot massage
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
because if that is *not* the case, you're a rapist
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and my concern is no longer whether you're contributing to disloyaly.
<incomprehensibly>
ELLIOTTCABLE: lol I am also assuming consent
<incomprehensibly>
if you think that you have a free pass
<incomprehensibly>
and you're not a worse person
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
reword reword
<incomprehensibly>
because you're not in the contract
* ELLIOTTCABLE
WHERE'S VAGNARD VIVIAN WHEN YOU NEED HER
<alexgordon>
the conclusion this channel has reached: FUCKING SOMEONE'S WIFE IS BAD
CoralineZzz is now known as Coraline
<incomprehensibly>
alexgordon: amazingly, ELLIOTTCABLE has not conceded that
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol
<purr>
undefined
<alexgordon>
oh, well carry on
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
‘Someone disagrees with me! I think this is amazing!’
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
okay that's unkind, but
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
srsly I'm very convinced I'm making a clear, important argument here
<incomprehensibly>
i apologize, saying amazingly was also unkind
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
<3 incomprehensibly
<purr>
Let it be known that ELLIOTTCABLE hearts incomprehensibly.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-loves ELLIOTTCABLE
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: ELLIOTTCABLE loves scotch, Owl City, Bastion, Max, Bitcoin, IRCCloud, nicoou, E>, all been a while want to talk soon can we have sex? okay bye, purr, ohhmaar, Spose, joelteon, gq, <3 <3, -liar, ljharb, undefined, audy, and incomprehensibly.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
“ all been a while want to talk soon can we have sex? okay bye, purr”
<jfhbrook>
very nice
<Pyrrh>
idk I've been on both sides of this coin. Like I slept with this girl for a while who was in town for business for a few months cause if it wasn't me it was gonna be many other people but her girlfriend didn't and doesn't know about it, while my ex-husband was fully aware. It caused me to institute a strict "no-secretive-sexual-relationships" rule in my life but at the same time I also was the lesser of two evils for her
<alexgordon>
maximum wall of text allowed by irc
<Pyrrh>
there's no clear-cut line IMO
<Pyrrh>
uh oh
<jfhbrook>
afaik I have been on neither side
<jfhbrook>
though
<Pyrrh>
where did it cut off?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
8:42:52 PM <purr> Let it be known that ELLIOTTCABLE is indifferent to all been a while want to talk soon can we have sex? okay bye.
<cloudhead>
I think I'm on ELLIOTTCABLE's side on this... for once
<jfhbrook>
my ex hooked up with this dude like 2 weeks after we broke up so WHO THE FUCK KNOWS
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I got the whole message, I think?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I think you just came impressively close to the character-limit
<alexgordon>
Pyrrh: are you male or female?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
what's the IRC equivalent of a twoosh
<cloudhead>
If my girlfriend sleeps with another guy I have no relation to, I won't be mad at the guy, he did nothing wrong.
<Pyrrh>
I present as pretty traditionally female though
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Pyrrh: pronouns?
<jfhbrook>
oh I didn't know that Pyrrh
<Pyrrh>
she/they
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
depends on whether you pronounce it ‘eark’ or ‘eye-are-see’
<Pyrrh>
either or
<pikajude>
my ex uses casual sex as a coping mechanism
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
earkoosh, ircoosh, works
<pikajude>
so I happened to see her on tinder the day after we broke up
<jfhbrook>
I've never had casual sex :(
<pikajude>
same
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but eye-are-see-oosh is more awkward, so maybe ... eye-are-swoosh? irswosh?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
irswoosh*
<Pyrrh>
I don't like casual sex. It squicks me
<alexgordon>
Pyrrh: probably most men would have much less of a problem if their wife had an affair with another woman
<alexgordon>
than with a man
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
cloudhead: raises an important point
<jfhbrook>
idk I'd still be bothered
<pikajude>
i would be bothered too
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
All of my arguments *only* apply if it's just A Married Person.
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook, pikajude: but not AS bothered
<Pyrrh>
alexgordon: true in some cases. but the girlfriend/wife of a woman is definitely not going to be in the same boat
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's (hopefully obviously) more complicated if you have additional social contracts and connections to consider
<pikajude>
it's gonna be really bothersome when she gets into a relationship again
<jfhbrook>
no, I think just as bothered alexgordon
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
friendship with the person, friendship with the exclusive partner ...
<cloudhead>
exactly ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ughhhhh yes Pyrrh
<pikajude>
I'm not very excited about the ASD-typical tendency to fixate on a particular person
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I've had casual sex ONCE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and it was literally the third-worst experience of my life
<alexgordon>
really? well I don't think you guys are normal
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
like, quite deserving of the word *horrific*
<pikajude>
because it bites me
<pikajude>
A lot
<pikajude>
My therapist said I should totally cut her off for like, 6 months
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: ASD?
<pikajude>
autism spectrum
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
GALAXY QUEST
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
PAWS
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
brb gonna drop out of school and write more paws
<pikajude>
the D stands for dingleberry
<jfhbrook>
I'm definitely not normal alexgordon
<incomprehensibly>
all been a while want to talk soon can we have sex?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
incomprehensibly: yes!
<pikajude>
I found out that if I crush up two valium and parachute it it works a lot better than just taking them normally
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
’parachute¿‘
<pikajude>
crush it up, put it in a napkin or toilet paper
<pikajude>
swallow that
<pikajude>
It's so you don't have to taste the dust
<pikajude>
Or get a perforated septum from snorting
<pikajude>
But I almost felt normal for a little bit this morning
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
what.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wtf
<pikajude>
Which was cool
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
people do that, also, how
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wait I guess it'd make sense with rice-paper
<alexgordon>
wait you eat the paper?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
why, just to increase the uptake rate?
<jfhbrook>
careful with the benzos pikajude
<alexgordon>
da fuck
<pikajude>
If you peel a tissue in half, it's very very thin
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
benzjude
<pikajude>
I mean, paper isn't necessarily harmful to eat
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
benzajude
<pikajude>
depending on where it came from
<pikajude>
but I'm not swallowing post-it notes or laminate
<Pyrrh>
I second the note of caution
<alexgordon>
also aren't some drugs designed for slow release, so if you crush it up you'll get a bigger dose?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ugh so I have a really compfy sweater
<pikajude>
alexgordon: that's the point, isn't it?
<incomprehensibly>
nobod loves my twitter bot he only has 4 followers :'(
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that the girl I just dumped loaned me
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I don't want to wear it, it's too cute and smells like her
<alexgordon>
pikajude: so it's cost saving? lol
<purr>
lols
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but I'm cold -_-
<jfhbrook>
why'd you dump her?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
incomprehensibly: i love your twitter bot
<pikajude>
people crush pills to work around the XR thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I just don't follow bots
Coraline is now known as CoralineZzz
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hm
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
people who make bots need to make different-regularity versions
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook: she slept with this guy from ##c
<Pyrrh>
if you don't like XR or ER why not get your MD to prescribe something short-acting?
<jfhbrook>
seriously?
<alexgordon>
no xD
<jfhbrook>
man how the fuck do you pick up chicks on ir---oh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
@thebot tweets once per hour, @thebot_6h retweets every 6th one, @thebot_24h retweets every 24th one ...
<pikajude>
Pyrrh: I'm not a pharmacologist
<pikajude>
All I know is it makes me feel better
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I've slept with a number of people from IRC
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I, uh
<alexgordon>
really?
<jfhbrook>
hey, protips appreciated :)
<alexgordon>
men, presumably
<jfhbrook>
XD
<Pyrrh>
pikajude: fair enough
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I've, surprisingly, slept with nobody in /names?
<pikajude>
I don't want to let on (yet) that I'm abusing prescription drugs
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
how the fuck have I know all of you for six or seven years and banged *none of you*
<Pyrrh>
yeah I'd keep that on the DL as long as possible
<pikajude>
This isn't the time to try to deal with withdrawal
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I should have ALL of my friendships on irc o_o
<jfhbrook>
I wear a chastity belt ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
jfhastity
<pikajude>
Downside of benzos is that they in combination with not eating make you feel really lightheaded
<pikajude>
and now I'm a little worried about driving home
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook eats corn flakes every morning
* ELLIOTTCABLE
hugs pikajude hard
<jfhbrook>
alexgordon: I have coffee for breakfast, I'll have you know
* alexgordon
wonders if anybody will get that one...
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
god that horrific C from earlier
<jfhbrook>
also pikajude the achilles heel, imo, is alcohol
<pikajude>
I think I've reached the point in my life where I just need to pound drugs into my body every 8 hours
<jfhbrook>
(please don't drink)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: wat.
<purr>
beep.
<jfhbrook>
I, uhh
<pikajude>
well I'm not very good at breakups
<Pyrrh>
after my surgery earlier this year I had to set an alarm for every 8 hrs to get my meds in me
<Pyrrh>
I hate living by the clock
<alexgordon>
pikajude: you should talk to Navarr
<pikajude>
why
<jfhbrook>
I have daily meds for BD so like, not the same frequency but I feel that
<alexgordon>
pikajude: #elliottcable meme
<pikajude>
ok
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wait literally why tho
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I don't have a very good memory and this meme isn't in the bot?
<pikajude>
actually all I've had for the past 18 hours is a red bull
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
shit i want a redbull
<pikajude>
and 20mg of valium
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and a past 18 hours
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
no valium tho i'm good
<alexgordon>
Navarr was perpetually breaking up, and then getting back together with his girlfriend
<pikajude>
this is really interesting
<pikajude>
I feel spacey
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
really!?
<alexgordon>
in fact he only arrived to announce one or the other
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I don;t remember this at all
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
i remember the forty-some cloudheads though,
<pikajude>
But this is better than the incessant vomiting from yesterday
<alexgordon>
oh man I'd forgotten that
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and getting k-lined for the forty-some cloudheads
<alexgordon>
-cloudhead
<purr>
alexgordon: his HEADs are in The Cloud™
<alexgordon>
heads, indeed :D
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-find cloudh
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: Found: cloudhead and you’re next
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ahhah
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-you]re next
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
derp
<pikajude>
It's times like this where I regret that all of the people I know are from IRC
<cloudhead>
D:
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: come hang in chicago
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
how long a drive
<alexgordon>
pikajude: wat.
<purr>
beep.
<pikajude>
I know one person IRL and he's about to move back to Oakland
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
where do you live
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-what
<purr>
<alexgordon> read the fucking ... n?
<pikajude>
ELLIOTTCABLE: That's about 31 hours
<pikajude>
I'm in the bay area
<alexgordon>
what lol
<purr>
lololol
<pikajude>
I liked chicago
<alexgordon>
must be hard to find people with shared interests in the bay area
<pikajude>
thanks for the input
<jfhbrook>
heh
<incomprehensibly>
how do you make famous twitter bots
<incomprehensibly>
mine isn't famous yet
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ba area
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that's a trash area]move to chicag
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and be fran
<jfhbrook>
I'm in new york
<jfhbrook>
and I mostly like it
<alexgordon>
RIP ELLIOTTCABLE's keyboard
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
8:55:54 PM <+alexgordon> must be hard to find people with shared interests in the bay area
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
100% why I won't live in the bay area
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'd literally just hang out with nerds all day
<pikajude>
alexgordon was being sarcastic
<alexgordon>
indeed
<pikajude>
mocking my complaint about not having friends IRL
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it'd be *too fucking easy*, like, I'd be lazy, and not form quality, meaningful relationships
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'd just talk to whoever was interested in Paws, or talk to whoever was writing low-level javascript, or talk to whoever had work I was interested in
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
instead of like carefully hunting down humans I get along with, despite a complete lack of shared interests
<purr>
hah
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
omfg purr
<pikajude>
gonna try to drive home, BRB
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude:
<incomprehensibly>
ELLIOTTCABLE: problem is nerds suck
<jfhbrook>
I don't like hunting down humans
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that sounds like a bad idea
<cloudhead>
that's a strange assumption
<pikajude>
I'll be fine
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: remember the ovoids? DON'T REPEAT THE OVOIDS
<cloudhead>
nerds aren't created equal
<pikajude>
I'll stay off the freeway
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
incomprehensibly: exactly
<incomprehensibly>
present company excepted
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
incomprehensibly: zero interest in being around them
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook: wat.
<purr>
beep.
<jfhbrook>
I'm going to be working from home, I'm kinda scared about my mental state longterm
<pikajude>
nerds are all created equal
<jfhbrook>
I'm gonna see like 3 people ever
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I go to a tech school now
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and I just, ditch campus ASAFP
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
before people can drag me into their bullshit or make me socailize with them
<pikajude>
If I talk to one more nerd IRL I'm going to throw up my lungs
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
because I'm *terrified* of making Nerd Friends
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: wat.
<purr>
beep.
<pikajude>
These two guys in the work gym have talked consistently about networking code since mid-july
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: it's never been a problem for you before
<pikajude>
In the gym
<jfhbrook>
most of my friends are nerd friends to some extent
<jfhbrook>
I'm okay with it
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: WHD DO YOU LIVE IN THAT HELLHOLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
RUN AWAYYYY
<jfhbrook>
except I have a complete fucking inability to not talk about work
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: just start drinking again
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
alexgordon: huh?
* jfhbrook
starts drinking again
* alexgordon
gets out the elliottcable party picture
<pikajude>
Two neckbeards making no significant progress in the gym, talking about python and network controllers.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
those weren't nerds! o_O
<alexgordon>
exactly!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm, I'm confused
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Oh
<cloudhead>
what is happening
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I mis-read. that.
<pikajude>
I'd totally have them lie down next to me while i'm deadlifting
<alexgordon>
I mean, you've never had a problem making nerd friends
<pikajude>
and lose my footing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
cloudhead: specula and purr
<pikajude>
ok, for REAL
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and footing, which is like fisting but with other appendages
<pikajude>
Enough complaining, I'm going to throw caution to the winds
<alexgordon>
cloudhead: AND COCKHAMMERS
<pikajude>
BRB
<cloudhead>
D:
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: ._.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pikajude: wanna phone while you drive? :O
<cloudhead>
I must rest now
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'll teach you Paws and you'll hate your life :P
<pikajude>
Phone into IRC?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
cloudhead: NEVER
<pikajude>
Or phone into EC?
<jfhbrook>
fuck why did I buy old bay flavored beer this is awful
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
what *is* a cockhammer
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and where is EC
<jfhbrook>
it tastes like a ramen packet
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Ecuador?
<pikajude>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I'm looking at his nick right now
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: you are EC
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
poh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
that makes sense.
ELLIOTTCABLE is now known as ec
<alexgordon>
-what
<purr>
<yorick> yeah but they would have been better if the rest of me was female :P
cloudhead has quit [Quit: rest]
<ec>
wat
<alexgordon>
it would be strange if half of you were female and half were male
<alexgordon>
like, the left and righth halves
<ec>
hm
<alexgordon>
one boob, and one ball
<ec>
I have multi-participant system friends, but I've never asked any of them their genders
<ec>
I wonder if I have any multi-(distinct)-gender friends
<alexgordon>
but on opposite sides. you might be a little unbalanced
<ec>
worst of both worlds
<Pyrrh>
I have a friend who is a chimera. Ate his twin in-utero. Has one testicle and one ovary and some male and some female DNA depending on where you pull it from
<jfhbrook>
no shit
<alexgordon>
cool
<Pyrrh>
totally a plausible thing
<jfhbrook>
that's craaazy
<ec>
*wild
<jfhbrook>
sure
<Pyrrh>
Yeah it kind of is. He's super open about it though which is so rad
<ec>
idk ableism
<ec>
still not one I grasp or get along with internally
<purr>
hah
<ec>
I just kinda play the words GOD DAMNIT PURR
<jfhbrook>
as someone who has been literally crazy
<jfhbrook>
I think crazy has multiple meanings
<jfhbrook>
like, don't call me crazy, but
<jfhbrook>
feel free to call situations crazy
<Pyrrh>
AND DON'T CALL ME SHIRLEY
<jfhbrook>
unless you're my ex, she can call me crazy
<jfhbrook>
it's only fair ;D
<Pyrrh>
lol
<purr>
undefined
<ec>
I wish my offline pets said ‘undefined’ once in a while
<ec>
it's like the most endearing thing that's ever happened to me
<jfhbrook>
my parakeet knows no words
<ec>
I grin so big
<Pyrrh>
I should write a bot
<jfhbrook>
if he could learn words, teaching him "not a number" would be a good idea
<Pyrrh>
ahahaha jfhbrook that would be so excellent
<ec>
yesss
<jfhbrook>
"not a number undefined null... null tweet undefined"
<ec>
NOT A NUMBER! NOT A NUMBER!
<ec>
BAAWK
<ec>
NOT A NUMBER!
<ec>
NaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNBATMAN!
<jfhbrook>
Pyrrh: do you still have birds?
<jfhbrook>
Pyrrh: also why does your dog have a weeaboo name? adopted?
<Pyrrh>
nah Auryn took them. which is fine, it turns out I'm allergic to feathers
<Pyrrh>
Do you mean Rukia? lol. Cause I gave it to her
<Pyrrh>
similar backstories (kinda)
<jfhbrook>
okay, then I'm making fun of you but only a little bit
<Pyrrh>
you do that
<Pyrrh>
I love Bleach
<Pyrrh>
I'm not ashamed
<jfhbrook>
oh is that what it's from?
<Pyrrh>
yeah
<ec>
ugh
<ec>
anime
<jfhbrook>
I like making "how foolish of you to ________ with only your zapakuto" jokes
<ec>
this girl I just dumped made me watch an anime
<jfhbrook>
based on the 4 or 5 episodes KB had
<Pyrrh>
jfhbrook: lmao, that's awesome
<ec>
I feel like I just gave up my virginity to a one-night stand, basically
<Pyrrh>
I didn't think I'd like animes but they totally grew on me
<ec>
except I was never planning to give it up at all and now I have a STD
<ec>
... except ... it's anime ... or something
<ec>
yeah the analogy is shakey don't judge me
<ec>
yeah, I really liked One Punch Man
<jfhbrook>
Pyrrh: especially to programming things
<Pyrrh>
bahaha
<ec>
hwi do tou to know eachother
<ec>
er, wow.
<jfhbrook>
we went over this XD
<Pyrrh>
me an' jfhbrook? college
<Pyrrh>
That was in the other channel
<Pyrrh>
actually
<Pyrrh>
I think
<jfhbrook>
oh
<jfhbrook>
I thought we had this conversation here too
<Pyrrh>
at least, the TL;DR is 'college'
<ec>
what other channel
<jfhbrook>
ec: some people I knew from nodejitsu, mostly
<Pyrrh>
idk I just follow him around IRC like a lost puppy
<Pyrrh>
"please, sir, can I have more channels?"
<ec>
I should have mentioned this ahead-of-time, but #ELLIOTTCABLE is a monotrofic channel
<ec>
I made that word up out of some greek and it means ‘you can only chat here you can't chat with anyone else if chat with us’
<jfhbrook>
oh
<ec>
i'm pretty sure I'm still banned from nodejitsu for no reason
<jfhbrook>
well I'm gonna continue to break the rules
<Pyrrh>
OH SHIT how could I accidentally violate the most important of rules
<jfhbrook>
ehhh, nobody's in #nodejitsu anymore I don't think, I certainly aren't
<Pyrrh>
I accept punishment by way of 50 lashes with a wet noodle
<jfhbrook>
but like I hardly remember our irc moderation policies
<ec>
-fish @ Pyrrh
<ec>
hm
<ec>
-find fish
<purr>
ec: Found: gqbe and gqbe'smemory
<ec>
-find trout
<purr>
ec: Could not find `trout`.
<ec>
is that not a feature
<ec>
thought every irc bot ever had that feature
<ec>
jfhbrook: oh, not for a reason
<jfhbrook>
because marak ec ?
<ec>
I was accidentally muted, and then one of the ops thought it was funny, so it was like, a thing they would never undo
<jfhbrook>
marak is/was a vengeful spirit
<ec>
and I was never straightforward enough to make it clear I was actually annoyed/offended by it, so it just sort of, lasted
<jfhbrook>
marak would get a kick out of that
<jfhbrook>
I was just support/jr-dev
<jfhbrook>
maybe charlie had an ops bit but he's not that vindictive
<ec>
jrdev
<ec>
I don't remember woah it's a long time ago
<jfhbrook>
yeah
<jfhbrook>
you know that facebro thing where they ripped off timehop?
<jfhbrook>
5 years ago I was just starting at nodjatso and there was a post all like "I'm learning so much and my boss is so patient"
<jfhbrook>
I just kinda laughed
<jfhbrook>
cause I still have a lot to learn, but now I'm tired rather than eager
<Pyrrh>
fwiw I think there's always a lot to learn
<ec>
that's the nature of programming
<jfhbrook>
I don't deny that
<ec>
unless you're in a very, very specialized area, it's all just breadth
<ec>
breadth, breadth, breadth
<Pyrrh>
I just hope I can find my eager side again when I graduate cause it makes new careers so much less stressful
<jfhbrook>
it's just more obviously sysyph--sysif---like the dude with the boulder
<ec>
you can master basically any fucking task in six months, but there's always going to be 10,000 other tools or approaches or wtfever that you know nothing about
<ec>
it's just so burnout-y
<jfhbrook>
I kinda wanna start hacking with solr
<Pyrrh>
yeah I'm scared about that. burnout is a serious problem with me
<ec>
there's no *plateau* where you both know a hell of a lot, still have a little left to learn, and yet are doing meaningful work
<Pyrrh>
jfhbrook why not now?
<Pyrrh>
just do it
<Pyrrh>
gogogogo
<ec>
Pyrrh: programmin' sucks
<ec>
Pyrrh: switch to math
<jfhbrook>
why not hack with solr? because I'm ******tired*******
<ec>
come w/ me on a journey of confusion
<Pyrrh>
ec yeah but I liiiiiike it
<ec>
we'll bug incomprehensibly when we get confused
<Pyrrh>
math and I don't get along cause proofs.
<purr>
hah
<ec>
same
<Pyrrh>
I like concrete math
<jfhbrook>
that doesn't change the fact that people tell me about ELK and I get irritated
<Pyrrh>
I hate theoretical shit
<ec>
taking the discrete-maths introduction right now again
<ec>
and about to DESTROY it
<Pyrrh>
ick
<ec>
very very scared
<ec>
and/or very very confident
<ec>
depending on day of the week
<Pyrrh>
a mix of both is probably ideal
<ec>
but I'm fucking READY to attack math and be done with ‘programming’ as I've previously known it
<Pyrrh>
I flipped through my databases textbook for the fall and it's got some induction in it so that makes me unhappy
<jfhbrook>
like you know that thing where rotting garbage can get so hot by virtue of biobullshit alone that it catches aflame?
<jfhbrook>
that's elasticsearch
<ec>
the consentacles scene from galaxy quest
<ec>
is bae
<alexgordon>
did someone mention math?
<ec>
awwwwuh and then rock-dude in space, how cute is that
<alexgordon>
rock dude is the shittiest superhero name ever
<ec>
NO
<ec>
best
<ec>
Pyrrh: your name being similar to purr is very confusing
<ec>
do you pyrrh
<Pyrrh>
I'm sorry :( If it helps, it's pronounced "peer"
<ec>
b/cuz purr purrs
<ec>
-purr
* purr
<Pyrrh>
I do purr also though
<ec>
-pyrrh
<ec>
!pyrrh

,pyrrh
<ec>
what's your invocation character
<jfhbrook>
the "middle finger" emoji
<Pyrrh>
everyone thinks it's 'purr' and my classmates have shortened it to 'puh' XD
<Pyrrh>
ding ding ding jfhbrook we have a winner
<jfhbrook>
alternately, like 6 claps
<ec>
* Pyrrh

* purr
rrrrrr
<ec>
no
<ec>
omg
<ec>
omg.
<Pyrrh>
lmao
<ec>
that's like the time my bot misgendered, uh, someone
<ec>
when was that, that was recent, right?
<jfhbrook>
nice™
<ec>
el oh el emergent bot behaviour
<jfhbrook>
at least your bot didn't, idk, learn passages from mein kampfh

<incomprehensibly>
8:14:27 PM <jfhbrook> it's just more obviously sysyph--sysif---like the dude with the boulder
<incomprehensibly>
:O)
<ec>
parents
<Pyrrh>
what about 'em?
<ec>
parents
<ec>

<Pyrrh>

or maybe i'll go play with mains electricity instead
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook: you're buying shares in an apartment, something that has inherently less rights
<alexgordon>
*in a company
<ec>
“ There is no question that there are more co-ops than condos in New York City, but the gap has been narrowing in recent decades.”
<ec>
so this is like a Whole Thing that exists and is common!?
<ec>
how have I never heard of this? ever!?
<ec>
is it only in NYC?
<ec>
my sister isn't responding to my texts and I am devastated
<ec>
somebody pop over to Montana plz
<ec>
Pyrrh: you're not far, mind taking a jog?
<jfhbrook>
no idea ec :D
<ec>
jfhbrook: like, I know, a whole lot, of money and investment things
<ec>
and yet I have literally *never* heard of this
<alexgordon>
yeah me neither
<ec>
and I'm immensely invested in real-estate all over the country
<alexgordon>
to be fair my entire knowledge of condos is based on watching reruns of Frasier
<ec>
Alaska, Texas, Montana, Illinois, NC; I'm pretty sure this has gotta be an NYC, or at least north-eastern, thing O_O
<ec>
alexgordon: wat.
<purr>
beep.
<ec>
omg
<ec>
excellent excellent keeping excellent

<alexgordon>
and I can't really talk considering the pseudo-feudal system of leases in the uk
<ec>
alexgordon: tell me more
<alexgordon>
I don't really understand it
<ec>
my english-fetish is tingling
<alexgordon>
ec: in the UK condos are called flats, and they are almost always leasehold. When you buy a flat it comes with a lease for N years
<ec>
“Tristan, I can tell you that ... every man I envied when *we* were boys, has led an *unremarkable* life.”
<ec>
IT'S SO TRUE THO
<ec>
alexgordon: ‘buy’
<alexgordon>
yeah 'buy'
<jfhbrook>
I'm pretty shitty at money
<jfhbrook>
I just know that I'd rather be paying towards owning something
<alexgordon>
ec: at some point, you have to renew the lease, by paying a sum of money to the real owner
<jfhbrook>
even if it's shares in a corporation
<jfhbrook>
than paying to not own something
<alexgordon>
ec: the formula for this _is written into the law_
<ec>
mmmmm
<ec>
jfhbrook: mmmmm,
<alexgordon>
ec: it mainly depends on your "ground rent", which is usually some small amount. Sometimes the ground rent is like £1, this is called a "peppercorn rent"
<ec>
generally ... no
<alexgordon>
it's an insanely wonky system that has clearly evolved over hundreds of years
<ec>
like sweeping generalizations etc, but. If you're young, and if you don't have a large set of additional constraints that change the game ... renting is almost guaranteed to be better than owning.
CoralineZzz is now known as Coraline
<ec>
alexgordon: so basically everything else about the u.k.
<ec>
Coraline: wtf you doing awake
<jfhbrook>
ec: have you ever tried to buy Sailor Boy Pilot Bread outside AK?
<alexgordon>
ec: pretty much
<ec>
jfhbrook: I don't think I've even ever had it
<jfhbrook>
huh!
<Coraline>
ec: It's two hours to bedtime
<jfhbrook>
I'm drunk enough to think that getting some for my friend's birthday is a good idea
<ec>
ditto
<ec>
I don't want it to be
<ec>
I have electrical work to do
<ec>
but dunwanna do it
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook: wat.
<purr>
beep.
<ec>
the thing i'm watching is reminding me of a thing i watched with the person I broke up with today and i'm going back to A Bad Place Yay
<jfhbrook>
alexgordon: it's a food that's only eaten in alaska despite being manufactured on the east coast
<jfhbrook>
alexgordon: it's a specific brand of hardtack
<alexgordon>
lol cool
<purr>
lol.
<alexgordon>
but I have a dirty mind and "getting some" will be funny in about 5 years time when it appears out of nowhere
<jfhbrook>
good with smoked salmon (also hard to find outside AK) or even peanut butter
<ec>
-what @ alexgordon
<purr>
<Navarr> i'm wondering if #Paws isn't really a language, but a state of zen
<alexgordon>
:D
<jfhbrook>
(lox is NOT smoked salmon)
<ec>
SEE HE DID SPEAK OF THINGS OTHER THAN BREAKUPS
<ec>
omg
<alexgordon>
friends don't let friends smoke salmon
<ec>
remember when this was ##Hat
<ec>
say *that* ten times fast
<ec>
hash-hash-hat, hash-hash-hat, hash-hash-hat
<jfhbrook>
it sucks that I'm a point in my life where I'm almost jealous of a breakup
<alexgordon>
just tried to join and it said I have to be invited :(
<jfhbrook>
like I should reevaluate things
<jfhbrook>
if that's where I'm at
<alexgordon>
jfhbrook: that is literally the saddest thing I've heard this week
<jfhbrook>
thanks >_<
<ec>
jfhbrook: I remember *that* feeling
<ec>
idk if same reasons but yeah
<alexgordon>
I DON'T
<alexgordon>
you people are weird
<jfhbrook>
I'm like
<alexgordon>
I'm gonna go hug my imaginary girlfriend
<ec>
I spent a majority of my childhood telling myself “All I really want in life is to have been dumped, just once; because it'd imply anyone had ever been with me even for a brief while”
<jfhbrook>
drunk enough to hint at my relationship problems but not drunk enough to actively start baww-ing about them
<ec>
it was. sad and childish and naïve.
<ec>
jfhbrook: plz baw
<ec>
-topic ##Baw
<purr>
ec: SyntaxError: Syntax is `s/expression/replacetext/gi`.
<jfhbrook>
don't worry, you've seen right through me
<jfhbrook>
and I'm sure one more beer will suffice
<alexgordon>
damn you elliottcable. I brushed my teeth cause I was going to go to bed, but now I'm up late and I'm starving hungry
ec changed the topic of #elliottcable to: ##Paw
<ec>
alexgordon: YES
<ec>
YES SINK IN TO THE OLD WAYS
<ec>
alexgordon: wanna learn paws
<ec>

<Pyrrh>
I wanna maybe buy land out there anyway, good excuse for a field trip :P
<Pyrrh>
also: took an OS course that used xv6 recently, it's pretty nifty even if I was confused for 90% of the class. it turns out that brain surgery in the middle of the term really affects how much you actually learn vs just absorb to regurgitate
wraithgar has joined #elliottcable
<ec>
Pyrrh: did you disappear?
<ec>
Pyrrh: brain surgery?
<Pyrrh>
yeah it was headache/bedtime and I totally vanished silently last night :c
<ec>
Pyrrh: IT IS A GOOD PLACE TO BUY LAND BUT A BAD PLACE TO BE EMPLOYED
<ec>
buy ~1-2hr outside of Bozeman.
<Pyrrh>
also yeah, but I'm aiming for remote employment so it won't matter where I live :D
<Pyrrh>
good advice, noted
