00:16 < K`Tetch> yeah, because htey've never done that before...
00:25 <@Dagmar> Argh
01:01 <@Dagmar> iniazi: That's very weird
05:01 < aestetix> Mirage: how did they fuck it up
06:19 < Evilpig_> Mirage: I saw something on my news feed about it being a pointless episode with a point.  
06:53 < aestetix> can anyone recommend a good comedy show
06:53 < aestetix> since what is considered comedy now, I think sucks
06:53 < aestetix> (brooklyn nine nine is one of the unfunniest stupid shows I've ever tried to watch)
06:58 < Evilpig_> https://www.wsmv.com/news/us_world_news/conservative-moms-group-slams-burger-king-for-using-the-d/article_18d0c540-c59e-5364-8b91-049306a79e1e.html
06:58 < PigBot> Conservative 'Moms' group slams Burger King for using 'the d-word' in a commercial | US World News | wsmv.com (at www.wsmv.com) http://tinyurl.com/t2tdceb
06:59 < Evilpig_> I had no idea what the d-word was.  I hate these people
06:59 < aestetix> what is it?
06:59 < aestetix> dick?
07:05 < Evilpig_> apparently it's damn
07:07 < aestetix> oh ok so they think it's 1939
07:07 < aestetix> don't tell them about george carlin
07:24 <@dc0de> shucks... I better watch my mouth.

07:54 <@dc0de> ahh... the Monday Morning Reboots...
07:55 < aestetix> I thought you meant tv shows for a second
08:03 <@dc0de> aestetix: it should be... or perhaps a good name for a podcast.
08:41 <@Dagmar> Evilpig_: THey beat the message into the viewer's head with a ten-pound sledge
08:41 <@Dagmar> Evilpig_: Capaldi'e episodes migth have had a message, but it would have been clear from watching and only mentioned discretely in passing
08:46 <@Dagmar> You need to fix whatever mechanism you're using to start this flask thing, because it's apparently binding to a specific IP address
08:46 <@Dagmar> #$@#
09:10 <@Dagmar> What I don't like is that they broke canon to do it
09:11 <@Dagmar> Before now, the Doctor has been very careful to avoid spending any amount of time in a timeline he didn't agree with because it makes it harder to change
09:11 <@Dagmar> ...if not impossible.
09:12 <@Dagmar> This time, he's got time to chew the fat about how humanity still has time to change it's ways, time is fluid, blah blah blah
09:12 <@Dagmar> The message was as subtle as an old lady's perfume in church
09:12 <@Dagmar> Like, "After School Special" crude

11:42 < xray> How is this any different than people obsessed about the use of pronouns?
11:42 <@Dagmar> This one's about climate change
11:43 < aestetix> xray: wait what did I miss
11:43 <@Dagmar> ...which is actually sort of an inarguable fact, not the result of a bunch of people deciding they're not getting enough attention.
11:43 < aestetix> how does HOPE have anything to do with pronouns
11:44 < aestetix> or is it a dr who something
11:44 < xray> I was referring to the person complaining about the use of the word "damn". They are both complaining about the use of words that "offend" them.
11:45 < aestetix> oh
11:45 < aestetix> yeah pretty much
11:45 < aestetix> Tipper Gore and the "Dungeons and Dragons is satanic" crowd must be happy
11:47 <@Dagmar> Clearly that org forgot the proper response is to send a letter of complaint to the FCC, which will be soundly ignored if no one else actually thinks it's a problem
11:47 <@Dagmar> Thay made a very stupid mistake by trying to send up an alarm that way
11:47 < aestetix> 7 pronouns you can't say on tv
11:47 <@Dagmar> Not necessarily
11:48 <@Dagmar> The FCC generally tries to let actual complaints dictate what "community standards" are
11:49 <@Dagmar> If those yokels sent out their press release but didn't actually make a formal complaint to the FCC then it's going to be fairly obvious the only reason they exist is to launder election campaign money.
11:50 <@Dagmar> I think it would be nice if some news agency would request to see a dated copy of their FCC complaint

13:02 <@Dolemite> y0, be0tches and h0ez!
13:12 < dfused> ur late
13:12 <@Dolemite> Yeah, it's tough switching out of vacation mode
13:18 <@Mirage> Dolemite:  You on vacation or just back?
13:19 <@Mirage> When do you get off work?  Wanna chat with you about something.
13:38 <@Dolemite> Mirage:   Just got back from a 7 night cruise to the Caribbean
13:38 <@Dolemite> I finish up work by 4 PM Eastern
13:51 < dfused> what? and you dont have some patient zero level stomacah virus from teh cruise?   fakenews
13:51 <@oddball> Dolemite: Oh, meant to comment on your FB posts.  That was the same ship that Naienko and I were on a couple years back.
13:55 <@Dolemite> oddball: They are getting ready to send it to drydock for major upgrades, then it gets based out of Galveston.
13:56 <@Dolemite> dfused: It is likely due to the fact that they had people standing at the door to every dining room with a giant bottle of Purell to squirt on every hand that passed by
13:56 <@Dolemite> oddball: How did you like it?   There were some things we loved about it compared to Carnival, and some things we didn't like as much.
13:58 <@oddball> I liked it. We ended up not spending a lot of time above deck due to weather, though (sea was rough enough that they had things straight up closed off at times).
13:58 <@oddball> Spent a lot of time in the "jazz club."
13:58 <@Dolemite> We never made it to Jazz on 4, but spent a LOT of time up in the Solarium.
13:58 <@oddball> cool
13:59 <@Dolemite> Of course, the best part was not having the kids with us
13:59 <@Dolemite> But we're looking at possible Christmas cruises for this year
13:59 <@Dolemite> with the kiddos
13:59 <@oddball> heh
14:00 <@oddball> I can't really compare it to too much.  The only other cruise I've been on was back in highschool with our school's band.
14:01 <@Dolemite> Ah.   Well Carnival is what I've been on the most...   we'd done one two years, ago.  The clientele on those has become more like a NASCAR race.   LOTS of people on board just to get drunk and stay that way until the last day.
14:02 <@oddball> heh
14:02 <@Dolemite> Also lots of folks bitching about their new policy about offensive clothing, saying that it's just another assault against conservatism.
14:03 <@Dolemite> Based on my observations, I'm struggling to see how wearing a shirt that says, "If your dick isn't -----> THIS BIG don't even talk to me." is considered conservative.
14:03 < aestetix> wait what
14:03 <@Dolemite> Of course, the tattoos I saw were even more questionable
14:03 < aestetix> How is a policy against offensive stuff.... an assault against conservative
14:03 <@oddball> yeah.  Nai's mother and father-in-law took us on the cruise.  They do a *lot* of cruises, and said that they like Royal Caribbean better.
14:04 <@Dolemite> RC is considered the best of the mid-tier
14:04 <@Dolemite> I've been on a Disney cruise, too.   It's definitely top notch white glove service.   But you're paying for that.
14:04 <@Dolemite> A LOT
14:04 <@oddball> gotcha
14:05 <@Dolemite> We had planned on doing a Norwegian Cruise Lines sailing a couple of years back but had to cancel.   Based on their dick moves towards customers over the past year, I doubt we'll try them after all.
14:06 <@oddball> The only thing that annoyed me about RC was that things seemed to shut down early.  There were a couple nights that I was still up and wanted a drink, but the bars were all closed.
14:06 <@oddball> But I was also damn near the only one wandering around the ship, so...
14:07 <@Dolemite> They were open until at least 3 AM...
14:08 <@oddball> Then they've extended their hours.
14:08 <@Dolemite> Likely
14:08 <@Dolemite> Even the pizza place was open until 3 AM
14:08 <@oddball> nice
14:08 <@Dolemite> And the Cafe Promenade was open 24 hours, expect during the muster drill
14:08 <@Dolemite> So you could always get a drink down there - though it was a more limited selection
14:11 <@oddball> Yeah, when I went, things shut down at like midnight or 1.
14:13 <@Dolemite> Bah.   They have shows that don't start until close to midnight.
14:13 <@Dolemite> I'd say things changed considerably, then
14:17 < aestetix> oh nice
14:17 < aestetix> Cory Booker dropped out
14:18 <@Corydon76> He ran out of money
14:18 < aestetix> yep
14:19 <@Corydon76> I'm waiting to see if New Hampshire kills Bernie or Elizabeth.  It is a must-win state for both of them.
14:19 <@Dagmar> Hey, If I bitch-slap the stepson because he's mad at Audra for telling him she _won't_ be okay with him just going out for "hookups" because relationships are hard or somethihng, would that make it a hate crime?
14:19 <@Dagmar> Asking for a friend
14:20 <@Corydon76> Dagmar: that's pretty normal for young gay guys.  It takes time for them to see the value in a relationship
14:20 <@Dagmar> Okay then./
14:20 <@Dagmar> Hopefully he'll undersrand when we tell him that no, we won't pay for his STD tests or treatment
14:21 <@Corydon76> I sort of understand Audra's inclination, but I think it's more likely to drive a wedge than being productive.
14:21 <@Dagmar> I think asking us to be okay with doing something stupid is really, really ill-conceieved
14:22 <@Corydon76> And getting him on PrEP may actually be a godsend in terms of your health care.  The drug copay card will eat up his annual healthcare deductible in under 3 months.
14:22 <@Dagmar> That would require him to have a "real job"
14:22 <@Corydon76> Is he on your health insurance still?
14:23 <@Dagmar> Nope.  I do not have the requisite paperwork to show that he should be
14:23 <@Corydon76> On Audra's?
14:23 <@Dagmar> He managed to lose the copy of his birth certificate that we gave him in _October_ telling him to not under any circumstances lose it, and it to put it somewhere safe
14:23 <@Dagmar> Audra is on _mine_
14:24 <@Dagmar> He's planning to work for Grand Old Golf
14:24 <@Corydon76> He's, what, 18?  19?
14:24 <@Dagmar> 18.
14:24 <@Corydon76> He's not going to reach maturity until 25.  Brain studies are pretty clear on that.
14:24 <@Dagmar> So he'll be making $8.25/hour, for whatever hours there could possibly be for a mini-golf course in the winter
14:24 <@Corydon76> He might be technically in control of his life, but, yeah, not really.
14:25 <@Dagmar> Well, left unchecked he'll readily spend $200/week on nothing much
14:25 <@Corydon76> Yep
14:25 < K`Tetch> 07:53:20 «aestetix» can anyone recommend a good comedy show <-- Taskmaster, you can find it on youtube now. British show, 9 seasons
14:25 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
14:26 < aestetix> K`Tetch: thanks
14:26 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has joined #se2600
14:26 < K`Tetch> i'd love to actually do a taskmaster for Dragoncon, think thatd be amazing
14:26 < aestetix> Because what qualifies as "funny" these days, I don't understand
14:26 < aestetix> I tried to watch an episode of Brooklyn 99, and The Good Place, and was bored by both of them
14:27 <@Corydon76> Dagmar: I won't bug you too much about parenting, given that I have zero experience with it, but yeah, 18 is a child with all the freedoms of an adult.
14:27 < K`Tetch> short premise of the show - a commedian (alex horne) sets tasks for 5 comedians/presenters, and they're sometimes ambiguously worded. they can complete the task however they want. But each person does it seperately, and they're ALL filmed in the 6-9 months before the show.
14:28 < K`Tetch> so come the episode itself, all 5 are sitting on stage, with the host (Greg davies) and alex, and they see the video of each others attempts, and get points for who did best
14:28 < K`Tetch> none of the compeittors saw anyone elses, and the host hasn't seen any of them prior to the show
14:30 < K`Tetch> a task might be "paint a picture of this view out this window within 20 minutes... while riding on a horse going in a circle
14:32 < K`Tetch> or 'hide 3 aubergines [eggplants] from Alex in this room. you have 20 minutes to do the hiding, the longer it takes to find, the better'
14:35 < aestetix> K`Tetch: I'll check it out, thanks
14:36 < aestetix> the last show I really really liked and thought was funny was Veep
14:36 < K`Tetch> Green Wing is also a good comedy show, Bottom is a personal favourite, and you can always watch Coupling, Jeff
14:37 < aestetix> K`Tetch: anything on the level of Fawlty Towers?
14:37 < aestetix> I think that show is one of my all time favorites
14:37 < K`Tetch> ever seen the young ones?
14:37 < aestetix> no
14:37 < K`Tetch> ok, add that in, bit more 'anarchic', and 80s. but also very lead-actor driven
14:38 < K`Tetch> bottom is kind of a spinoff from that, same two leads
14:38 < K`Tetch> still messed up, but a lot more dick and fart jokes
14:39 < K`Tetch> they also did 5 live stage versions of bottom, although 4 and 5 aer weak, and then rik mayall died
16:07 <@dc0de> Dagmar: I feel your pain. My 17 yr old isn't doing much better.
16:09 <@dc0de> Who's going to Hope?
