<@pronto> Last night my friend asked to use a USB port to charge his cigarette, but I was using it to charge my book.
<@pronto> The future is stupid.
<Zavie> Saga_Musix this actually happened when opening my Internet line: "Do you want a phone?" "hmm why not, how much? ok then." ... later: "Please write your name, address, phone number..." "I don't have a phone number." "We need a phone number." "You do realize you are asking me for a phone number to open a phone line?" (embarrased) "yes, it's a little stupid"
<&Orillion> All my lines are under the GNU public license

<&Orillion> I know my girlfriend does
<TheBadSpoon> to explain reddit, it's basically a large anus comprised of many sub-anuses
<@Madda> Well, people don't seem too bothered by the "Our app will now record audio from your mobile"
<@Madda> So... *shrugs*
<~Altieri> Well, part of the problem is that those privacy warnings aren't always clear.
<@Crazed_Succubus> i feel like if i was that bothered i'd cut myself off from all technology and live in the woods
<@Crazed_Succubus> but i'm determined not to Thoreau my life away
< mcpherrin> dylster3: You can write rust that crashes the compiler pretty easy
< mcpherrin> It's really just the worst form of error message :p
< Sharp> mcpherrin: Well, it's not as easy as it used to be, to be fair :)
< mcpherrin> Sharp: the thing is that as you get better at rust, you write more well formed code and so crash the compiler less ;)
< mcpherrin> so it always seems to be getting better!
<@DigDug> whoa, adobe is dropping flash linux support
<@|silicon> I say we go to their house and wreck up the place

<khelp_work> hey folks
<kerin> yo
<khelp_work> hows it going?
<kerin> like it has fallen to me once again to make war against countless unmotivated shit-for-brains assholes who have dedicated every fiber of their mediocre existences to undermining everything i have striven to accomplish
<kerin> it is as though i stand alone in a howling gale of misery and uselessness
<khelp_work> so...mondays?
<kerin> yes
<kerin> you have summarized the situation nicely

<Rozzie-mob> But it was okay because I took the correct dosage

< cbreak> if the C++ committee was lead by Microsoft's Excel team... auto would be called car in the english version of C++.
< Spengo> so
< Spengo> I met up with one of my transgender friends who I haven't seen in forever
< Spengo> had a child
< Spengo> now he's transparent
< ryantmer> Somewhere, a drummer did a rimshot, and they have no idea why
< xmc> so technically you still haven't seen him
< ryantmer> Ha!

<@swight> Ikea Bags Stuffed With Skeletons Found in Sweden

<JordiGH> misc.py it is, then
<JordiGH> Then I'll have etc.py, general.py, and other.py
<roryg_> wait until you have util.py, utils.py and utils2.py
<roryg_> "utils2.py: even more util"
<Mango> Do you ever have to change a password, and then get sad, because you really liked the old password and got attached to it in the short time it was yours?
<Mango> It's like we cultivated a relationship or something.
<bionicfen> I am starting to get tired of my aspie friend staying in my guest room
<bionicfen> it smells of balls
<bionicfen> because he is having A Sad and not showering
<JDigital> help him into the shower like that time in King of the Hill where the bald one is having a sad

<bionicfen> an Northern Irish dungeon master manages to completely grasp the essence of a man I've known for 15 years in a single sentence, referencing a cartoon television show
<Karkat> what is the creepiest place you have ever gone *by accident*
<ak00ak> Jeez, by accident?
<Karkat> yeah

<McMartin> New favorite piece of clan 'advice'
<Loweko> the clan is having trouble with the concept of representative currency?

<Garf> anyone here know something about chickens?
<Garf> can they, like, get impregnated and lay new eggs while they're breeding existing ones?
<Garf> it is vitally important I know because I'm having a discussion about the evolutionary advantages of the platypus
< cyberdog> so there are a few holes in watchdogs
< cyberdog> you can 'prevent crimes' by pre-empting them using some bullshit minority report hacking anonymous #wearelegion thing, but when you prevent it, it counts as a victory condition no matter what happens
< cyberdog> so the half hour police chase beforehand, the hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage caused, the fact that i arrived on the scene by crashing through the outside area of a restaurant and killed 75% of its customers, and then the fact that i blew both the perp AND the victim away by accident doesn't matter
< cyberdog> perps down, you're a hero
< cyberdog> and then you can stealth in cars to avoid detection, yet it doesn't seem to matter whether the car has doors or not
< cyberdog> hes just sort of slumped in the seat in plain fucking view
< cyberdog> its still entertaining though
< cyberdog> it's a bit like hackers in that it's silly but still enjoyable
< nukes> ahem
< nukes> hackers was not silly
< cyberdog> no that's true. every time i send an email 1s and 0s fly around the room and i surf down a 90s tidal wave wearing an augmented reality headset :P
< nukes> that's not augmented reality, that's lsd
