06:54 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and yetih0ez!
07:06 <@Dolemite> Well my kerosene heater is finally getting some use this week
07:06 <@Dolemite> Basement is coooooooooooold
07:07 <@Dolemite> but I only have to run it about 60-90 minutes before it warms up to normal levels and I can just flip over to my under desk electric heater
07:42 < aestetix> why are there so many stupid people on the internet
07:52 < Evilpig> because we lowered the barrier of entry to make it easier on ourselves
08:00 < aestetix> I'm not going to say the name or the topic
08:00 < aestetix> But there is an activist I just saw who is complaining that their campaign of action is pissing off an American representative
08:01 < aestetix> they posted the call..... and it's with this senator's aide, who is saying "look I am getting over 600 emails from all over the world, but none of them are coming from my district"
08:01 < aestetix> and the idiot activist is saying "but this is an international issue, don't you care?"
08:01 < aestetix> and the guy replies "do you like .... not know how representative democracy works?"
08:02 < aestetix> The senator does not give a shit what people in europe think. they care what their constituents think
08:02 < aestetix> but the activist does not seem to understand this and accuses them of being heartless
08:02 < aestetix> I want to punch the activist in the face
08:02 < Evilpig> well yeah,  they don't care about any issue as a whole, just what bits affect the people that vote for them
08:03 < aestetix> or at least the people in their district
08:03 < aestetix> all the activist needed to do was find some people in that state, and get like 100 of them to contact the senator's office
08:03 < Evilpig> the representative for my district doens't give a fuck what I think at all
08:03 < aestetix> that would have been very effective
08:05 < aestetix> lol
08:05 < aestetix> it's just so fucking stupid
08:05 < aestetix> how hard is it to I dunno... organize a facebook campaign that targets people by region
08:05 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Well, yeah, because you're not in the cult
08:06 < aestetix> I'm not sure if aides are even legally allowed to respond to people outside their district
08:06 < aestetix> or state or whatever
08:08 < aestetix> also they recorded the phone call
08:09 < aestetix> I mean, ok it's a phone call with a representative's office, so likely legally public record
08:09 < aestetix> but I do wonder if they asked for consent before recording it
08:09 < aestetix> and then they published it, clearly without consent
08:09 < aestetix> although it does make the activist look like a fucking retard, so I doubt the aide is complaining
08:25 < Evilpig> depends on the state if they could record without permission or not
08:25 < Evilpig> TN as long as the caller consents to the recording the other party doesn't have to

09:22 <@Dagmar> aestetix: You're still wrong
09:22 <@Dagmar> The senator doesn't give a fuck about what anyone not giving him checks thinks.
09:23 <@Dagmar> Give them checks and they'll care about your issue.
09:27 < aestetix> well ok

09:53 < PigBot> Kentucky Republican Pushes Bill to Make Sex With First Cousin Not Incest (at www.newsweek.com) http://tinyurl.com/yu3bfqvt
10:12 <@opticron> at least they're not trying to redefine the word via legislation...
10:37 <@Dolemite> "cousin" or "incest" LOL
11:36 <@Mirage> Just when you think the kilt dude on fargo is as weird as can be, they throw another curve at you.
11:37 <@Dagmar> Not sure how that even rates against Kentucky actually caring enough about incest to make first cousins legal
11:37 <@Mirage> I would have been perfectly fine w/ the season ending at the prison
11:38 <@Mirage> Dagmar: some elected official is probably worried about skeletons in their closet
11:39 <@Dagmar> My wife: "He looks like somebody that would fuck a cousin"
11:40 <@Dagmar> I'm figuring family reunions for that group are going to be a little tense
11:41 <@Dagmar> ...and now I'm wondering WTF websites aestetix is going to that he heard about that IN FREAKIN GERMANY before we did just one state over
11:42 <@Mirage> God help me... watching Ice Pirates for the first time in I dunno how long.  Early 90's I'd guess.
11:53 <@Dolemite> yay more system admins that don't know how to properly install certificates
12:04 < Evilpig> Mirage: lol
12:05 < Evilpig> we had a little "oops" at work today and some poor storage admin nuked the wrong lun.  they gave us an estimate of 2 - 3 weeks to restore it. :-/
12:09 <@Dagmar> Just as worryingly, more system admins who can't be bothered to Google stuff
12:44 < aestetix> Dagmar: I'm on a subreddit that reports ridiculous stories
13:20 <@Mirage> Evilpig: that why I'm getting an error checking weather.gov?  
13:20 <@Mirage> An error occurred while processing your request.
13:20 <@Mirage> Reference #102.856533b8.1705519164.49d4869 
13:20 < Evilpig> heh
13:21 <@Dolemite> Mirage: You realize we only control the weather.  A different agency is the propaganda arm that reports on it.

15:31 <@Mirage> One of these judges really need to hold Trump in contempt when he makes a scene.  I doubt a night in jail would make any difference in anything, but it'd sure make me feel better.
