07:15 < aestetix> how the hell is xkcd still running
07:15 < aestetix> I wonder if it makes any money
07:16 <@Corydon76> aestetix: you do realize they have a web store, right?  And they license their images for print?
07:17 < aestetix> I did not
07:17 < aestetix> so basically Randall Monroe likely makes a living coming up with three funny comics a week?
07:17 <@Corydon76> And he writes books

07:46 <@brimstone> also, there's like three dudes involved with xkcd, not just Randall
08:55 <@dasunt> Three dudes?
09:17 <@dasunt> GOP is planning to cut social security.
09:18 <@dasunt> That's a bold move, Cotton.  Let's see if it pays off.
09:22 < aestetix> it would be easier for them to swallow if Trump's travel didn't cost so much
09:24 <@dasunt> Well, see, for some reason, they need to balance the budget.

12:58 <@dasunt> We have at least three confirmed "tender age shelters" for the babies and toddlers we forcefully separate from immigrants.
13:07 <@dasunt> We're building a fourth.
13:08 < aestetix> man
13:08 < aestetix> this hasn't really affected trump's approval rating at all

13:16 <@Dagmar> aestetix: That's because most of those people are brain-dead oldsters who still use land lines
13:26 <@dasunt> He was probably right about being able to shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue.
13:33 <@Evilpig> I read that as oldsters who still love land mines
13:37 < aestetix> Dagmar: I have a land line
13:37 < aestetix> and no cell phone
13:40 <@Dagmar> You're also in Germany.
13:40 <@Dagmar> ...and mentally disabled.
14:09 <@Corydon76> I'm not sure I trust the job approval polls.  I think the population has gotten wise to the questions and some answer in support, no matter what (and vice versa, to be fair)
14:10 <@Corydon76> "Direction the country is headed in" is another one, where I've been asked the question, and I've never been sure how to answer.
14:11 <@Corydon76> It's a one-dimensional survey when opinions are 27-dimensional.
14:14 < aestetix> Corydon76: I'm guessing the pollsters hate you
14:15 < aestetix> Some teenager phone-banks you, asks a poll question, and you reply with some Immanuel Kant level clarifying-question response
14:15 <@Corydon76> I'm guessing the pollsters have no idea about this, because they keep asking the same questions.
14:16 < aestetix> And the kid is like ..... uh yeah ok next question
14:16 <@Corydon76> I've already asked those questions of the phone bank.  The answer is, "Just make your best guess."
14:17 <@Corydon76> Yes, the phone bank already has scripts for that, because it's so common.
14:18 <@Corydon76> But if you really want to piss off a phone bank volunteer, answer everything but the very last question, and then hang up
14:18 <@Corydon76> Their rules say they have to toss out all of your answers, because the survey was incomplete.
14:19 <@Corydon76> which means not only did they waste your time, but you got even by wasting theirs.
14:24 < aestetix> heh
14:24 < aestetix> I volunteered in a phone bank once
14:24 < aestetix> I lasted approximately ten minutes.
14:25 < aestetix> It was in an election year. I would call swing voters, and ask them if they wanted to hear about X candidate
14:25 < aestetix> If they said no, I said "ok" and hung up
14:25 < aestetix> Apparently this is not what you're supposed to do
14:25 < aestetix> I suck at sales for the same reason
14:26 <@Corydon76> You didn't read the script?
14:28 < aestetix> honestly I can't remember
14:28 < aestetix> this was in 2003
14:28 < aestetix> 2004
14:28 < aestetix> and I lasted ten minutes before I gave up and said "I can't do this"
14:28 < aestetix> so they put me on a differnt assignment
14:44 <@Corydon76> Well, it's a good thing you weren't working for the Democrats at the time.  We would have had 8 years of George W Bush, instead of only 4.

15:27 <@dasunt> My neighbor once tied up one of those political persuaders for about two hours.
15:33  * dasunt ponders why it's hard for people to understand that IT people need to be informed about IT requests.
16:04 <@dasunt> Oh, this is interesting.  Trump's executive order to end child separation is an approach that may be struck down by the courts.
16:05 <@dasunt> He may know this as well.
18:47 <@Mirage> the wonderful thing about being a linux admin is that when you get assigned some BS menial task that needs to be performed on 700 servers that they expect will take all day you can spend 5 minutes scripting it out and then the rest of the day watching netflix
