01:02 -!- ShellGh0st [~feihung@gateway/tor-sasl/shellgh0st] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
06:09 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:23 < Evilpig> no
06:24 < Evilpig> it's too early for that
06:24 <@Dolemite> yet here you are
06:24 < Evilpig> and here I have been for nearly the last hour
06:26 < Evilpig> had to have sabrina at the school this morning at 5:15
06:27 <@Dolemite> damn, why they hell did she have to be there so early?
06:27 < Evilpig> They're going to Kentucky Kingdom today.  8th grade field trip
06:27 <@Dolemite> Ah.  Melanie's last day was Friday.  She went to DC the week before that.
06:28 < Evilpig> we did d.c. when I was in 8th too.  iirc it was a couple day trip
06:30 <@Dolemite> Their school did a 4 day trip.  Mon-Thu.
06:30 < Evilpig> I did not see my neighbor dropping off fatboy up there though.  which likely means that little delinquent will be running free around here today
06:32 <@Dolemite> Patrick still has 2.5 days this week and some exams in that time
06:33 < Evilpig> she has tomorrow, then half day on both wednesday and thursday :-/
06:33 < Evilpig> this week is a cluster-f
06:33 <@Dolemite> those half days are ridiculous
06:33 < Evilpig> wednesday is a "celebration"
06:34 < Evilpig> pretty sure it's her 8th grade graduation but they aren't calling it that and have requested that upon entering the gym we sign the kid out so they can leave after
06:34 < Evilpig> I got the notice of it and was like "celebration?  fuck that, i'm not going up to the school for whatever this is"
06:34 < Evilpig> and then thursday is the last day of school and is half day for everyone
06:35 <@Dolemite> Ah, last Thursday night was M's 8th Grade Graduation.  She ended up winning an award given out by the History teachers for being the best student.
06:35 <@Dolemite> er, not Thursday.   It was Tuesday.
06:35 < Evilpig> she's getting something as well.  not sure what, but she should be on the deans/pricipal's list for straight a's all year
06:35 <@Dolemite> Anywho, last week
06:36 <@Dolemite> Melanie's was a surprise
06:36 < Evilpig> She had a REALLY low B up until last week.  I don't know where she got extra work to bring it up.
06:36 < Evilpig> it was an 81 low
06:38 < Evilpig> and looking at her grades right now.  she did NOT get all A's.  which means no laptop either.
06:39 < Evilpig> she'll have a's for the year but this last semester has two b's both 87s
06:43 <@Dolemite> Man you are such a hard ass
06:43 <@Dolemite> YOU ARE RUINING HER LIFE!#%@!#%!^T
06:43 < Evilpig> cheap too
06:43 < Evilpig> This is all a lesson in every assignment counts
06:44 <@Dolemite> I HATE YOU AND WISH I WAS NEVER BORN!@%@!%^##
06:44 < Evilpig> She got a just absolute shit grade early in the semester and did _NOTHING_ about it.  she had two weeks to submit a redo, etc
06:44 < Evilpig> Her logic was that she had the rest of the semester to do other assignments to account for it
06:45 < Evilpig> well... last semester, fewer assignments, there wasn't anything to bring it up.  She's been chewed several times since about procrastination and putting things off and wasting opportunities
06:49 < Evilpig> I got her the tn drivers manual too.  going to have her start with that this weekend
06:49 < Evilpig> oof
06:57 <@Dolemite> We've got a while for that.   Melanie just turned 14.
06:59 < Evilpig> we've got 5 months tomorrow
07:25 <@Mirage> Got an email about next test session for that game I was chosen to be a tester on..  The morons are having a 'Technical Stress Test' on a Wed from 2-6p PST 
07:38 < Evilpig> It's a low stress test
08:38 <@Mirage> Patched my server and httpd didn't come back up because apparently the updated modsecurity rulesets have conflicting custom rule ID's... Grep'd for the conflicts and nothing was coming up, so I just shifted the numbers of the custom rules I had in place and everything came up normal.  Weird
09:11  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
09:12 <@aestetix> Evilpig: you could compromise and get her a chromebook
09:12 <@aestetix> it's almost as good as a real laptop
09:12 < Evilpig> I considered that.  I think she's actually using a chromebook for school now possibly
09:13 <@aestetix> What about one of those mini pcs from 2008
09:13 < Evilpig> or it's just a super cheap ass windows laptop.  the notice the school sent out about them it was $200 if your kid trashed it
09:13 < Evilpig> I have minipc's here from modern times.
09:14 <@aestetix> yeah but 2008 minipcs can't play fortnite or whatever they do now
09:14 < Evilpig> I could easily move her computer from the desk to her tv in her room but part of her issue is having to have someone ride her ass to stay on task
09:14 < Evilpig> she wants to get on discord and reddit.  
09:14 <@aestetix> oh yuck
09:14 < Evilpig> the crap she does online is ridiculous 
09:14 < Evilpig> this week she's a witch and using websites to cast spells
09:15 <@aestetix> Just restrict her internet filters so the only website allowed is fox news
09:15 <@aestetix> That will teach her a lesson
09:15 < Evilpig> that alone highlights why kids talking about trans anything sub 18 should be mostly corrected
09:16 <@aestetix> oh right they are pushing that stuff
09:16 <@aestetix> I dunno, is there a mickey mouse website
09:16 < Evilpig> not in florida.  going to the house of mouse might make you a public enemy 
09:25 <@Dagmar> Well, almost no one who isn't a vapid teen is pushing
09:25 <@Dagmar> Largely it just appears to have become trendy, because deciding you're trans is apparently a "get out of being boring free" card
09:34 < Evilpig> while I do see alot of that.  the bullshit that comes out of her mouth regarding pronouns is here to stay.  she genuinely thinks thta calling a person by they isn't confusing 
09:35 < Evilpig> "I was talking to my friend at lunch and they went to blah blah over the weekend and it sounded like fun"
09:35 <@Dolemite> Yeah, Patrick refers to all of his friends with gender-neutral pronouns
09:35 < Evilpig> I am constantly tryign to figure out if it's a group or what, completely derails me
09:36 < Evilpig> I'm also constatnly asking her if these friends have names or if they just refer to each other constantly as friend
09:54 < dasunt> You are the uncool parent, it seems.
09:54 < dasunt> You've finally hit that period in your child's development.  :/
10:02 <@Dagmar> Evilpig: There's nothing confusing about using 'they' when referring to someone in the third person
10:03 <@Dagmar> Now, if they're using it in first- or second- person it's time for a grounding
10:04 <@Dagmar> There's no rule that says you _have_ to use gendered pronouns in third-person statements.
10:05 <@Dagmar> At least, not until some asshole decides that it's mandatory and a micro-aggression if the person uses gendered pronouns themselves.
10:05 <@Dagmar> ...in which case "they" will be forever known as "dumbass"
10:05 < Evilpig> there are no genders in her speaking patterns at this point
10:05 <@Dagmar> She's probably tired of people who want to be "they" acting like assholes about it
10:05 < Evilpig> she coul dbe talking about a stump or a person most of the time and you'd have no context unless you pried out a name
10:06 < Evilpig> no doubt, she's also afraid of wearing sandles because kids are mocked and bullied for open toe shoes.  kids are fuckin' dumb
10:06 <@Dagmar> That's tyrue
10:07 <@Dagmar> Some of Michael's friends wanted to give me shit about my car when I came to pick him up at the mall
10:07 <@Dagmar> "And I guess you guys are still here because what... your camaro is in the shop?"
10:08 <@Dagmar> "Oh I drive my dad's truck and it's a blah-blah"
10:08 <@Dagmar> "WEll, you can talk shit to me in 10 more years when he's finally paid that off and isn't just pretending he owns it"
10:11 <@Dagmar> Frankly I probably should have just knocked him on his ass for trash talking someone in a biker jacket
10:21 <@Dagmar> I feel like we need for perfectly reasonable people to make Tiktok/Facebook videos about this shit, just to combat all the noise, but what are we going to say...
10:21 <@Dagmar> "English isn't this hard.  Stop being dipshits."
10:48 < dasunt> I'm getting sick of people who find screws so hard to install, and decide that the problem is that they haven't found the perfect hammer yet.
11:03 < Evilpig> reasonable responses to this sensationalist nonsense will go nowhere. because reasonable people already don't respond to it
11:06 <@Dagmar> Speaking of being reasonable, I'm about done being patient with this group of outside contractors
11:07 <@Dagmar> Their "Senior System Engineer" doesn't even understand the fuckin' basics of SSL certs
11:08 <@Dagmar> ...oh and they're having trouble using our AD for auth because they're apparently using the NTLMSSP.
11:08 <@Dagmar> I'm like, two more incidents away from suggesting we just terminate their fucking contract
11:09 <@Dagmar> If someone's that fuckin' stupid I'm just not about to trust them with a VPN connection
11:15 <@Mirage> Oof...  Mgr just messaged me that his son had apparently swallowed a lithium coin battery last night.  Apparently he had stuck it in his mount and discovered it 'tingled', kept doing so until he 'accidentally' swallowed it.   This morning he complained about his tummy hurting and told my mgr about the battery
11:17 <@Dolemite> how old is the kid?
11:31 < Evilpig> my dumb dumb?  14
11:31 <@Dolemite> No, Mirage's boss' kid that swallowed the battery
11:31 < Evilpig> isn't that why they put the bitter coating on them now?
11:31 <@Dagmar> I guess the labeling of "keep out of reach of small children and republican voters" didn't get through to him
11:38 < dasunt> Hey now, that's unfair, acting like all Republican voters are dumb.  Some of them are highly intelligent sociopaths.\
11:42 <@Dagmar> They can eat all the coin cells they want.  After all, it's far more dangerous to let the government forbid people to eat batteries.
11:42 <@Dagmar> What's important is that people have the _choice_ to eat batteries
11:47 < dasunt> Wait, are you telling me that people should have a choice with what to do with their bodies?
11:48 < dasunt> Oh, speaking of which, we're getting legal pot now.
11:49 < dasunt> Which was a hillarious debate in the state house and senate.  One Republican said 2 oz makes 3 joints.
11:50 <@Dagmar> Which state was this?
11:51 <@Dagmar> I suspect he's gotten ounces and grams mixed up
11:53 <@Dagmar> Two _grams_ generally makes about 2-4 joints
11:53 <@Dagmar> (I actually had to google to find the grams)(
11:55 < dasunt> Minnesota.
12:09 <@Mirage> Dolemite: I think he's ~8-9
12:11 <@Dolemite> Yeah, that's a bit old for putting arbitrary things in one's mouth
12:24 <@Mirage> lol.. Desantis is trying to claim that Disney can't afford that expansion in FL they recently cancelled
12:24 <@Mirage> Pretty sure Disney as a whole makes more than a good number of small countries
12:25 <@Dolemite> that's just from 1 day of ticket sales to the parks
14:18 < dasunt> JFC:  " For the ones who will have to work in the office then, she ordered bullet-proof vests for them."

15:53 < Evilpig> stinkin' kid
15:53 < Evilpig> swear to god
15:54 < Evilpig> they were at ky kingdom today.  we sent her with enough cash to get some type of souvenir and eat and still bring back some dough.  she ripped her bag that she took and decided to buy a replacement in the park, she bought a stuffed cat, a necklace, bought food and a drink on top of using the voucher she had for lunch, and it isn't adding up she's missing at least $15
15:56 < Evilpig> I asked if she thought to stuff all the reciepts in her bag.  no, they didn't give her any. I told her she should have asked as they are required by law to at least offer it as a proof of the transaction, and then she went on to tell me that most of the stuff she looked at didn't even have price tags so she has no clue what she paid or was supposed to pay.  she just burned through $80 because she didn't have any type of cooler around to tell her to pump the brakes
16:42 <@Dagmar> "cooler around to tell her to pum"?
16:42 < Evilpig> cooler around to tell her to pump the brakes
16:45 <@Dagmar> Betcha anyting the cat or the bag cost quite a bit more than they should have
16:46 < Evilpig> oh I guarantee
16:46 < Evilpig> I'm just hoping she's learned some type of lesson about spending all the cash
16:46 < Evilpig> I doubt it, but I can hope
16:46 <@Dagmar> Although how she could maybe not notice not being given change back, I dunno
16:47 <@Dagmar> She might have dropped a $20 somewhere, but theme parks aren't known for reasonable pricing
16:47 < Evilpig> I'd say it;s likely she didn't do the math to figure out what change she should have gotten back or she just flat out lost it
16:47 < Evilpig> or like you said the most probable answer is useless park junk was priced way high than she's admitting
16:47 <@Dagmar> Or she bought lunch for one of her friends
16:48 < Evilpig> they had vouchers for lunch
16:48 < Evilpig> so any food was snacks and second breakfast/lunch
16:48 < Evilpig> of which she is prone to do as well
16:57 < Evilpig> she has informed me of the $80 she has $29.12 left.
16:57 <@Dagmar> That sounds about right
16:59 < Evilpig> yeah.  wasted about $50.  when ash and I were talking last night I was going to send her with $60
17:00 <@Dagmar> Bag, necklace, food & drink, stuffed animal... that's about $50 at a park usually.  ~$12 each
