<powersurge> someone at work is having a breakdown

<powersurge> but 30% unsure if he even had one to begin with
<l0de> Notice to IT staff. As of today administrators are strictly forbidden from assigning passwords which are not randomly generated. Assigning users passwords which contain obfuscated political statements (example NRA43V3R! , 084^^4=L|Z4RD ) will be grounds for disciplinary action.
<l0de> so there's another thing I ruined for everyone
...
<l0de> for like 6 months straight I assigned every user the password: "password187!
<l0de> and everyone was logging into everyone else's accounts and creating havoc
<l0de> it was gr88

<camel> > Do you have a full-time job? > No > We're sorry, you do not qualify for this survey.

<asaph> So you're over a year and a half into your transition?
<Zyradyl> Yup.
<cjk> Okay so since you've been on both hormonal sides, is there any major difference between the two
<Zyradyl> 89.9% of the time no, except I do have to deal with some unwanted attention, which probably contributes to the 10.1% of the time.
<cjk> whats that
<Zyradyl> Well. Okay. If you had asked me what 2+2 equaled on a bad day where I was testosterone heavy, You would have gotten a "Four, You fucking muppet" and at the absolute worst, a punch in the face.
<Zyradyl> Do the same thing to me now, and I'm going to spend 30 minutes reducing you to feeling absolutely worthless, then say "Four you fucking muppet" and slap you.
<asaph> Holy shit.
<Zyradyl> I don't want to hit people as much. However, I want to make them cry so much more than before. Which i guess means 2+2 equals four, and a whole bunch of unresolved emotional issues.
< wushin> I'm freaking out.
< MadCamel> Why?
< wushin> I accidentally sold a theater to my neighborhood and they are buying it.
<Shadell> Actually
<Shadell> Economists are very very awful buddhists
<Shadell> "All conditioned existence is suffering. Desire is the source of all suffering because it never ends."
<Shadell> "This is why we can create models of economic systems based on the fact that humanity will never stop wanting more shit."
<ceren> actually it's more like when a cat eats tinsel

<Somasis> peter anvin has a pet python named perl
<tanderson> since it's a python, perl can C its tail, but because of the forked tongue it speaks with a lisp; his mother Julia always corrected him, but unfortunately was bash'ed in the head by an accidentally dropped cup of java.
<Somasis> oh my god
<tanderson> Thank you, I'll be here all week
<Somasis> that was just criminal
<tanderson> He was sed for a time, but decided to go forth and ultimately met Ada, gave her a ruby ring, and lived happily ever after.
<Somasis> STOP
<Jigsy^Vol> My favorite episode of Star Wars was when Kirk got assimilated by the Darleks.
<e7> I'm a micromillionaire; the Illinois lottery paid me $1
<Orobas> oh. Builder. I did the bird math, I don't know if I told you
<Builder> You didn't. However, you seem amazingly eager to share your findings.
<Orobas> It gives you an idea of how good I am at math. Because the answer I got was between 80 and 3.8 billion pigeons per second
<Builder> It doesn't really give me an idea of how good you are at math.
<Orobas> I am content either way
<dylan> i just got an amazing idea
<dylan> make a tea that is healthy for you
<dylan> call it Vitamin T
<dylan> get it?
<feti> This is going to be a slow day.
<muskets> to be tonic water all you NEED is water, bubbles and quinine
<muskets> and then usually you put lots of gin in it
<muskets> it's a british thing because it was medicine but we mixed it with booze to make it taste less awful
<muskets> and then we decided we LIKED it
<muskets> and now we drink it entirely because we want to
<kerin> this is also the story behind gin but in reverse
<kerin> alcohol was supposed to cure a lot of what ails ye
<kerin> but distilled grain alcohol kind of sucks to drink, so hey let's add some mother fucking juniper
<kerin> alright this is rad, i can't wait to get diagnosed with something so i can drink it all fucking day
<kerin> etc
<kerin> so really the gin and tonic brings the story full circle in a beautiful way
<muskets> yeah
<muskets> the main difference is that the original tonic water WORKED
<muskets> it was malaria prophylaxis
<kerin> well, gin worked if your problem was the horror of being trapped in pre-industrial europe
<kerin> it's about the only thing that did
<catplanet> ROFL
<ChauffeR> what's the name of the mission that fucked up because they didn't use meters
<OyajiVyse> America?
<Zyradyl> So I've started working on an AI just as a side project. I want to re-hone my Common Lisp knowledge. It has been years.
<cjk> what kind of ai
<Zyradyl> conversational, might do more as time permits
<asaph> You do realize, back when you were a dude, and pry, you had a strong stance against conversational AI?
<Zyradyl> Don't worry, I put a noose around my neck whenever I start hacking at it, just in the event that something goes horribly wrong or I realize I'm a fucking moron.
<Lutmus> Zyra: Sounds like you're already an experienced neural network programmer.
<Jigsy> So in Civil War re-enactment school I was voted most likely to secede.
<TonyTheLemur> they tested our tornado siren a couple mornings ago

< jsc> "if ya know what I mean"?
< adc> i have no idea what you mean
< jsc> your innuendos are too complicated for me to follow
< adc> likewise
< jsc> we've reached alternate innuendo realities
< jsc> divergent streams of double entendre
< jsc> the suggestive gap is much too far to be bridged and we are each left isolated
< jsc> if ya know what I mean
< adc> i do ;(
< jsc> :(
