00:00 < RangerZ|Laptop> I know of a painter that once said that....
00:13 <@wilpig> WOW!  my first 9999 attack
00:13 <@wilpig> four of those in a row and damn!  that dragon went down like a bitch!
00:14 <@Dagmar> w00t
00:15 <@wilpig> the trick of casting reflect on your entire party and then bouncing spells off them is really worth it
00:16 < RangerZ|Laptop> always has been in Square games, lol
00:16 < RangerZ|Laptop> only better when you have mimic too
00:17 < RangerZ|Laptop> that way the entire party casts it per character turn
00:17 < RangerZ|Laptop> lol
00:18 <@wilpig> I maximized my damage on it.  had my salve maker make it fire-weak. to start with.  then I was using a black mage/arcanist.  used the arcanist spell to sacrifice which raises your magic attack 150%.  had the abilities max black magic, black magic amp, and magic attack 10% up
00:18 <@Dagmar> Okay... Okay...
00:19 <@Dagmar> I hate to say it but this movie is making me look at my love life in a whole new light
00:19 <@wilpig> each cast cost me like 150mp but totally worth it
00:19 < RangerZ|Laptop> the brony one?
00:21 <@Dagmar> No. 'Life AFter Beth'.
00:21 <@Dagmar> She makes the girls I date look like oceans of tranquility
00:22 < aestetix_> So
00:22 < aestetix_> After today, I concluded that at least 50% of people in the east bay do drugs
00:23 < aestetix_> Well, are psychonauts

00:24 < aestetix_> penis
00:25 <@Dagmar> Your point?
00:27 < RangerZ|Laptop> aestetix_: we thought doing drugs was a requirement to live in the east bay
00:27 < RangerZ|Laptop> how else could you live in the new state of Silicon Valley, the richest per capita state in the union if it is approved
00:28 <@Dagmar> The sad thing is she's only marginally more unstable than Lindsey at times
00:28 <@Dagmar> I really feel this guy's distress tho
00:28 < aestetix_> hahah
00:28 < aestetix_> RangerZ|Laptop: you know, that's just another way to try to make the black people go away, right?
00:28 < RangerZ|Laptop> hahaha... such an obvious ploy to break up California's electorial college votes and not have state tax dollars go to the 'poor' areas of the state
00:28 <@klixa> RangerZ|Laptop: um...silcion valley is west bat
00:28 <@klixa> bay*
00:28 < RangerZ|Laptop> klixa: yes, but they get east bay in the new state
00:29 < aestetix_> It's basically a rich guy in california trying to do high level jerrymandering
00:29 <@klixa> oh..hmmm i just walked in, guess i dont knw what you 2 are tlaking about
00:29 < RangerZ|Laptop> a guy is trying to split up CA into 6 states, and "silicon valley" is the name of one of the new states
00:30 < aestetix_> RangerZ|Laptop: it's specifically to make sure the black people don't get any of the startup tax dollars
00:30 <@klixa> they need to just blow up oakland and start over
00:30 < aestetix_> I mean, north bay is the richest part of the bay area, and they continually vote against extending the BART system there
00:30 <@klixa> marin
00:31 < aestetix_> right
00:31 <@klixa> gas is like $5 a gallon there
00:31 < RangerZ|Laptop> north bay is in a different state though
00:31 <@klixa> its always on average $1+  more than the rest of the bat
00:31 <@Dagmar> This is definitely a new take on a zombie armageddon
00:32 < aestetix_> but seriously
00:32 < RangerZ|Laptop> http://geocurrents.info/place/north-america/northern-california/tim-drapers-proposed-six-californias
00:32 <@klixa> north bay is also the poorest part of the bay... ike petaluma, santa rosa, etc...but thats when you are at the faaaaar edge
00:32 < aestetix_> if you wanna see how bad racism in the US is
00:32 < aestetix_> look at where public transit in cities runs
00:33 < RangerZ|Laptop> there is non-racist argument for it also, but thats just a good cover
00:33 <@klixa> or maybe, broke people deliberatly move to where the public transport is
00:33 < RangerZ|Laptop> 'we don't go there, b/c not many people there use public transit'
00:33 < RangerZ|Laptop> but more whites used the buses in the south than blacks
00:33 < aestetix_> Ok here's a question
00:33 <@klixa> RangerZ|Laptop: honestly that makes sense to me. i drive. and most places i live do not have much public transport
00:33 < aestetix_> How many cities have public transit that goes to the suburbs
00:33 < RangerZ|Laptop> ....until the mid 60s... wonder what happened there
00:34 <@Dagmar> It's not racism.
00:34 <@Dagmar> It's class warfare.
00:34 <@Dagmar> It's very _obviously_ class warfar.
00:34 <@Dagmar> e
00:34 < aestetix_> Dagmar: ok sure
00:34 < RangerZ|Laptop> now it is just fortunate that blacks are poor
00:34 < RangerZ|Laptop> so they can just hate on the poor, and grab-bag all the people they want to hate
00:34 < RangerZ|Laptop> lol
00:34 <@klixa> no one cares if people are black...it really is more about being poor
00:35 < aestetix_> klixa: please show me a rich black neighborhood
00:35 <@klixa> aestetix_: Fisk University
00:35 <@klixa> its not a rich black area, but its a rich black school
00:35 <@klixa> no whotes allowd last time i checked
00:35 <@klixa> its in nashville
00:35 < aestetix_> wait
00:35 <@klixa> its a top university
00:35 < aestetix_> What would happen if a school said "no blacks allowed"
00:35 <@klixa> theyd be sued, mobbed, who knows
00:36 < aestetix_> so why is a university allowed to say no whitse
00:36 <@Dagmar> klixa++
00:36 <@Dagmar> There's a _culture_ problem that's leading to a lot of black people not making it any higher up the ladder than they do
00:36 <@Dagmar> ...but the larger problem is that the _class warfare_ is keeping the poor people poor, and making more people poor by the day
00:36 <@Dagmar> All hell would break loose, of course
00:37 < aestetix_> Dagmar: sure
00:37 < aestetix_> And making the rich richer
00:38 <@Dagmar> aestetix_: Seriously do you not get this is class warfare?
00:38 < aestetix_> Dagmar: I was agreeing with you
00:38 < aestetix_> But I'm also commenting that racism is part ofi t
00:38 <@Dagmar> It's literally just happenstance that most of the people in that area are black/hispanic
00:38 < aestetix_> That asid
00:39 < aestetix_> If a black guy is educated at the universities and speaks like a rich white guy, it's much easier for polite society to accept him
00:39 < aestetix_> IE a black guy reciting cicero instead of making nigga jokes
00:40 <@klixa> um, *nigga* jokes show LACK OF EDUCATION aestetix_
00:40 <@wilpig> anyone speaking proper english will get ahead faster than someone speaking in ebonics.  race doesn't matter there
00:40 < RangerZ|Laptop> is there 'pure' racists out there... sure... but most of them are still down here in The South ;)
00:40 <@Dagmar> White people live over there, too.  Same shit on their heads.
00:40 < aestetix_> klixa: that's what I just said
00:41 <@klixa> do blacks not have to learn PROPER english (to be clear PROPER english != whote english)?
00:41 <@klixa> yeah, but you said speaks like a rich WHITE guy
00:41 < aestetix_> oh ok
00:41 < aestetix_> so how about speaks like a rich guy
00:42 < aestetix_> I've been in the bay area too long. The words "rich white guy" are axiomatic here
00:42 <@Dagmar> aestetix_: Because not everyone's on the same page about why any kind of racial discrimination is bad
00:42 <@klixa> my mom was poor and my father had lots of money and some fame.. $ makes a major difference...i grew up living 2 lives kinda
00:42 < aestetix_> hmm
00:42 < RangerZ|Laptop> Blacks are mostly poor, and since the crash of 2008, have been hit the hardest economically, b/c most blacks don't have inherited wealth (even a house, etc) , so the crash that rocked poor people, hit them the hardest, and most of them lost most/all of their investment when the banks screwed them on loans that were preditory, etc... (All the major banks have admitted wrongdoing and have paid billions in fines for doing so)
00:42 < aestetix_> klixa: I also did not grow up rich
00:42 <@klixa> aestetix_: i grew up half rich
00:42 < aestetix_> heh
00:43 <@klixa> on the weekends, i was going to restaurants where my father spent more on 1 meal than my mom spent all weeks on groceries for 4 people
00:43 < aestetix_> klixa: I know that feeling
00:43 <@Dagmar> ...because keeping everyone mad at people of another skin color keeps them from focusing on the _real_ problem, which is that a very small minority of rich people are making everyone elses lives shittier by degrees every day.
00:43 < aestetix_> I had a rich friend... his parents bought him a $40,000 lexus when he turned 16
00:44 < aestetix_> I can't even grok that kind of money
00:44 <@klixa> also, the way treat you is VERY different
00:44 <@klixa> people kiss your a when you have money
00:44 <@klixa> they are nice to you
00:44 <@Dagmar> It's not racism.  Correlation is not causation.

00:45 <@wilpig> hey Dagmar... 00:45 -!- Dagmar [~dagmar@unaffiliated/dagmar] has quit [Excess Flood]
00:45 <@wilpig> haha
00:45 <@Dagmar> I'm sure I wasn't just rerouted through a set of logging servers because I mentioned class warfare too many times
00:46 < aestetix_> Dagmar: so you think we used to be racist, and now we're classist, but because of the demographics it looks racist?
00:46 <@Dagmar> aestetix_: Basically, yes.
00:46 < RangerZ|Laptop> pretty much
00:46 <@Dagmar> The rich people in power don't give a rat's ass about skin color
00:46 <@Dagmar> They care about their money, greed, and keeping their power
00:46 < aestetix_> As long as they are also rich
00:46 <@wilpig> passing out now.  the jews are controlling the money keeping the poor down.
00:46 < RangerZ|Laptop> of course there are outliers, who are racist/classist, but most are just about class
00:46 <@klixa> aestetix_: i think racism exists too, but more on an individual level; ie. some people are racists
00:46 <@Dagmar> You did see the last line, right?
00:46 <@Dagmar> THe followup to that deliberate red herring
00:47 <@klixa> i dont think that busses not going into the suburbs is anything to do with racism
00:47 <@Dagmar> Tell them it's the jews and when they protest ask them how it makes any less sense than blaming "whites"
00:47 <@klixa> i think its supply/demand
00:47 <@klixa> suburbians drive suv's
00:48 < RangerZ|Laptop> its federal and state policy for a long time, we forbid blacks to move into 'white' neighborhoods
00:48 <@Dagmar> But seriously, the last thing the elites would want is for all the "poor" and middle class people to suddenly wake up and realize who it is that actually fucking their lives over, pillaging their retirement funds, foreclosing on their houses
00:48 < RangerZ|Laptop> and I mean up into the 80s
00:48 < RangerZ|Laptop> but by the 80s it was 'class' not 'race' that was used
00:48 <@Dagmar> People are just not used to thinking logrithmically and that's what the scale of power is
00:48 <@Dagmar> If you could fold a piece of paper, how thick would it be?
00:49 <@klixa> Rich people take advantage of the fact that normal people dont understand the difefrence between money and wealth
00:49 < RangerZ|Laptop> there is 0 reason for any human in the USA to not have dental/vision/healthcare fully paid for, and a housing situtation
00:49 < RangerZ|Laptop> let alone a LOT of children going hungry
00:50 <@Dagmar> Seriously.  Fold a piece of paper in half.  How thick is it?
00:50 <@klixa> RangerZ|Laptop: "its federal and state policy for a long time, we forbid blacks to move into 'white' neighborhoods"?????
00:50 <@klixa> how is it forbidden RangerZ|Laptop ?
00:50 <@Dagmar> There's a point to me asking this question
00:50 < aestetix_> Dagmar: 2X where X is the thickness of a piece of paper?
00:50 <@Dagmar> aestetix_: Easy enough.  Now, if you folded it 128 times, how thick would it be?
00:51 < aestetix_> 2^128?
00:51 <@Dagmar> I read this recently and it's an excellent illustration
00:51 <@klixa> is this like the chinese rice
00:51 <@Dagmar> Which is how thick.  Don't give me an exponent
00:51 < aestetix_> really thick
00:51 <@Dagmar> Not just "really thick"
00:51 <@klixa> where it becomes some insanely high amount
00:51 <@Dagmar> You could rest the fucking MOON on it
00:51 < RangerZ|Laptop> klixa: federal loans weren't given to blacks for houses outside of 'planned neighborhoods' for a long time, up until early 70s or something
00:51 < RangerZ|Laptop> and states did it for much longer
00:51 <@klixa> RangerZ|Laptop: based on being black? or based on income?
00:51 <@Dagmar> ...and that's the scale to which the economic power of the 1% grows
00:52 < RangerZ|Laptop> both
00:52 <@Dagmar> That's why it's so insanely hard for people to come to grips with just how much ability the people halfway further up the scale have to fuck over their lives
00:52 < RangerZ|Laptop> you could apply for 'special' loans if you were black, but you could only get houses in certain parts of cities
00:52 < aestetix_> Dagmar: so from the free market side, the market should correct itself. From the government side, there shuld be regulation.
00:52 <@Dagmar> Even just _halfway_ the amount of power people weild is in the space of senators and corporate execs
00:53 <@Dagmar> Huh?
00:53 < RangerZ|Laptop> so it wasn't a law saying you COULDN'T move to that part, but it basically made it that if you wanted to buy a house or anything, you HAD to move to the part of the city the city wanted you to
00:53 <@klixa> i now nothing about that
00:53 <@Dagmar> You expect to see effective regulation coming from the people who are being paid literally by the hour to do what the people above them say?
00:54 < aestetix_> Dagmar: nope
00:54 <@Dagmar> There's one of our problems, right there.
00:55 <@Dagmar> All this _chaos_ in the media only serves the interests of the people who have the power
00:55 <@Dagmar> It keeps all the people who have very little power comparatively, arguing with each other non stop, instead of realizing they have a common enemy that is actually rather small in number.
00:56 <@Dagmar> Bank of America was literally _stealing homes_ en-masse with all those foreclosures
00:56 <@Dagmar> Nothing happened to them.
00:57 <@Dagmar> They foreclosed on some people who had never even taken out a loan
00:57  * aestetix_ nods
00:57 <@Dagmar> ...but there's that social blind spot I've talked about, in play
00:57 <@Dagmar> It was "the company" and people just doing their jobs, not the dictates of a few completely corrupt assholes
00:57 < RangerZ|Laptop> and no person went to jail
00:58 < aestetix_> Dagmar: wasn't that the nuremberg defense?
00:58 <@Dagmar> They shift the blame from themselves to the "corporate" person, who somehow is blameless
00:58 < RangerZ|Laptop> new law... executives that allow a company to break the law... go to prison
00:58 <@Dagmar> aestetix_: There's another problem we have
00:58 < RangerZ|Laptop> would solve A LOT of problems, lol
00:58 <@Dagmar> This is almost impossible to talk about without invoking Godwin's law
00:58 <@Dagmar> ...because the situation is _actually_ that bad.
00:58 <@Dagmar> Welcome to my nightmare
00:59 <@Dagmar> RangerZ: That's already a law
00:59 <@Dagmar> It just isn't enforced because very, very powerful people made the argument that it would be "bad for everyone"
00:59 <@Dagmar> ...which is a _lie_, but they're the ones making the rules.
01:01 <@Dagmar> We don't have a bureau that *just* hunts political corruption because people in power make the argument that it would shake people's faith in their government if half of congress went to jail
01:01 <@Dagmar> This is also, _not true_.
01:01 < aestetix_> Dagmar: we did during Clinton
01:01 <@Dagmar> People would fucking celebrate
01:01 < aestetix_> The special prosecutor
01:01 < RangerZ|Laptop> no, he was only to investigate the executive
01:01 <@Dagmar> Yep.  And look at all the power he has now.
01:01 < RangerZ|Laptop> not the legislative
01:02 <@Dagmar> RangerZ++
01:02 < RangerZ|Laptop> NY state is about the only state that has the ability to create a special prosecutor who can investigate ANYONE in gov't
01:03 < RangerZ|Laptop> and look at how bad Coumo(sp?) fucked that up, by telling it to not go after people who did work for him/his campaign
01:05 <@Dagmar> This is why all the spying _infuriates_ me
01:06 <@Dagmar> I could almost stomach it if it were used to fix the country
01:06 <@Dagmar> _Almost_
01:06 <@Dagmar> Instead, it's just used as another tool of oppression
01:06 <@Dagmar> Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
01:08 < RangerZ|Laptop> I think its a valid arguement for removing FBI and CIA from DHS
01:08 < RangerZ|Laptop> I don't mind DHS 'existing' but it should be much smaller, and focused
01:09 <@Dagmar> Someone needs to sit down and just admit this mess is far worse than any terrorists could ever be
01:09 < RangerZ|Laptop> that way FBI and CIA and NSA, etc are all competing with each other
01:09 < RangerZ|Laptop> NSA: "we proved the CIA was hacking congress", b/c we're legally allowed to hack them, lol
01:09 < RangerZ|Laptop> (which they are... lol)
01:10 < RangerZ|Laptop> I'm also for splitting up NSA into 2, one for offensive, one for defensive ... but *shrug* on that one, worth thinking about
01:52 <@Dagmar> Everyone in that movie was just *so* jewish

17:49 < npcomp> Le sigh, do people not realise they will _always_ have to worry about their firmwares?
17:49 < npcomp> pacemaker -> firmware
17:49 < npcomp> cellphone -> firmware
17:50 < npcomp> cellphone _radio_ -> L4/Mach microkernel _firmware_
17:50 <@brimstone> there's not much worry in cellphone firmware though
17:50 <@brimstone> or automobile firmware
17:50 <@brimstone> and not much you can do about pacemaker firmware
17:51 < npcomp> What do you mean, not much worry?
17:51 <@brimstone> cell providers keep our phones updated, right?
17:51 <@brimstone> just push a new firmware OTA

21:27 <@wilpig> RangerZ|Laptop: I'd ask who was chasing you but clearly that would be a chase of the most idiot attacker in history.  instead I will mock you for thinking you're gonna get healthy
21:27 < aestetix_> wow apparently Kevin Bacon also hates millennials
21:33 < RangerZ|Laptop> wilpig: no one ever exercises to get healthier, they do it to look better, for potential mates, lol
21:34 < RangerZ|Laptop> aestetix_: about the Hep C drug, thats what we get when we privatize basic medical research, instead of fund it through the government with grants, etc
21:35 < RangerZ|Laptop> I see a lot of comparisons between high (skill) level coders and high (skill) level research doctors
21:36 < RangerZ|Laptop> I'd have no problem getting paid a good wage, and going and doing basic auditing and refactoring of OSS projects, _IF_ I was getting paid to do it
21:36 < RangerZ|Laptop> and I bet a lot of talented doctors and researchers would love to do research on drugs to cure HIV, the cold, etc... but they have too many student loans, etc.. so they have to go into private research to try and pay off those debts
21:46 < RangerZ|Laptop> http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/doomsday-preppers/interactives/budget-prep-faraday-cage/ part of me is saddened that NatGeo has sunk to taking the money of preppers... then again ... part of me is happy that NatGeo is smart enough to take their money before some other shadier person does...

21:48 < RangerZ|Laptop> FYI, if you ever see a person at a mall, with a big dillards bag that looks a little too rigid, they might have made a home-made faraday cage out of aluminum foil and duct tape in it.... LOL (works for blocking the anti-theft tags put on retail products)
21:48 < RangerZ|Laptop> there was a black family who was pretty infamous for hitting almost every mall in NE Ohio /Western PA ~10 years ago, doing that

22:18 < aestetix_> man
22:18 < aestetix_> some of these portal 2 community levels are bastards
22:29 <@Dagmar> Easier to just look for two sets of handles
22:30 <@Dagmar> There's generally no reason to double-bag with boutique bags unless they're up to some shoplifting
22:30 < aestetix_> Dagmar: wouldn't someone think of that and pre-line their bag with foil?
22:31 <@Dagmar> IF they just put foil in it, it would be easily visible from above
22:31 <@Dagmar> That's why they double-bag most of tyhe time when they do that
22:31 <@Dagmar> Those bimetal strip devices are that easily thwarted
22:31 < aestetix_> ahhh
22:32 < aestetix_> Or I dunno having a thicker bag that you sew foil into?
22:32 <@Dagmar> No.
22:32 <@Dagmar> Jesus you really suck at crime
22:33 < aestetix_> lol
22:33 <@Dagmar> The reason they don't take some bag of their own and line it is because _then_ they're carrying a suspiciously large purse around
22:33 <@Dagmar> It's always the big square-bottomed store bags, the ones with the plastic hoop handles
22:33 <@Dagmar> THen it just looks like they made a bunch of purchases
22:33 < aestetix_> So really the ideal way to shoplift is to have a bunch of other bags, with the one that's double bagged, and mix them all together so it's hard to see what's going on?
22:34 <@Dagmar> i.e. "I'm an important person who spends a lot of money here"
22:34 <@Dagmar> The majority of the time dude, they just walk into the mall with the one bag and their purse
22:35 < aestetix_> I guess I do suck at crime
22:35 <@Dagmar> If you see someone going _into_ a mall who's already carrying a shopping bag, trail them
22:35 <@Dagmar> Odds are pretty damn high they're going to go into some place and start slipping things into that bag
22:43 <@wilpig> good god.  the internet is a horrible place at times.
22:44 <@oddball> at times?

23:30 < aestetix_> so
23:30 < aestetix_> stupid question
23:30 < aestetix_> is there any way to play Black Mesos on a mac?
23:37 < RangerZ|Laptop> you mean black mesa, the Half Life mod?
23:39 < RangerZ|Laptop> and if so, not that I'm aware of, the SDK released publicly isn't compatible with the version of the engine that works on openGL(linux/mac)
23:40 < aestetix_> yes
23:40 < aestetix_> ok
23:46 < RangerZ|Laptop> apparently it works on WINE though
23:46 < RangerZ|Laptop> so if you can get that working for mac, you're golden

23:47 < aestetix_> I guess I could try it in a vm
23:48 < RangerZ|Laptop> wine handles that VMing for you
23:48 < RangerZ|Laptop> wine works wonders, when it does work, lol
23:53 < RangerZ|Laptop> aestetix_: found a job for ya
