02:22 < aestetix> You guys will appreciate this

06:32 < Evilpig> that made me angry.  the content was meh, that could have just been the last graphic and not the combination of all of them.

07:46 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
08:05 <@Dagmar> Evilpig: Well, one thing is for sure.  Since Gamergate the only people left in games journalism seem to be people who push an agenda as hard as they freakin' can
08:21 < Evilpig> will agree with that for the most part
08:22 < Evilpig> I've seen a bunch of stuff on stardew valley recently that had no agenda outside of "eric barone put out a new update!"
08:22 <@Dagmar> Yeah but the absolute baseless shrillness about Hogwart's Legacy?
08:22 <@Dagmar> Fuck every last person who reviewed it
08:22 <@Dagmar> Or I should say, "reviewed" it
08:22 < Evilpig> agree to that.  
08:23 < Evilpig> I reviewed it.  it was fun.  I did not 100% it but gave it a good effort
08:23 <@Dagmar> They were pretty bad before then, but that just took the cake and showed they have no critical thinking skills and do not check their facts
08:23 <@Dolemite> The whole crap over Rowling is blown out of proportion as it is
08:23 <@Dagmar> It shouldn't even be a "thing"
08:24 <@Dagmar> Every damn time Rowling has an objection to something, it's literally becaue some jackass _already did it_ to skirt the law
08:24 <@Dagmar> ...and these shits want to act like she's making up theoretical situations "just to hurt trans people"
08:25 <@Dagmar> So _clearly_ the games journalists in a tizzy about it _do not do their research_
08:29 <@Dagmar> Also, Grimes just proved she's an idiot
08:30 <@Dagmar> Failing horribly at Coachella and then stupidly apologizing to the crowd for <<insert excuses here which accidentally admit she expected other people to do a substantial part of her actual fuckin' job as a DJ>>
08:32 <@Dagmar> Notably she apparently had someone _else_ "organize the files on the sd card" and I'm like, bitch that's literally your job
09:24 < Evilpig> damnit to hell
09:24 <@Dolemite> Evil spirit, I damn thee!
09:24 < Evilpig> the script I wrote to parse this xml for my text messages this weekend skipped the first message of every account
09:25 < Evilpig> I just realized the bug but now I have to export everything again and it takes a good 45 minutes to parse out that much text
11:55 < Synx_> Evilpig, its a constant struggle writing your own tools, once they finally do what you want you are done with the project, at least thats what I find
11:56 < Synx_> Anybody want to help me file with the VA today? :(
12:16 <@Mirage> Chick I went to HS with was doing that after she got out of the Army, but I dunno if she still is.  Haven't talked to her in a long time.
12:28 < Synx_> I'm told its not as bad filing with them as it used to be, but I'm still going through a free nonprofit that does this every day so I don't mess it up
12:32 < Synx_> I should have done this back in 2012 but I stayed reserves and didn't want it to impact my flight status, so now I'm way late to the party filing 12 years later
12:50 < Evilpig> damnit I need to get my kid back so this cat will get the fuck out of my lap
13:00 <@Dolemite> I believe there are other, more pressing reasons to rescue your kiddo
13:00 <@Dolemite> Key word being rescue
13:09 < Evilpig> like the mental abuse she's current receiving?  the fact that she's now living with second hand smoke again?  her mother is demonstrating great behavior in lieing to law enforcement to get her way?
13:25 <@Mirage> If they aren't going to enforce them, is there even a point?  https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/04/15/trump-hush-money-criminal-trial/trump-again-tests-gag-order-00152293

13:26 <@Mirage> If it was me the judge would have ordered me a Hannibal Lecter-esque mask and private cell
13:29 <@Mirage> This doc shared in the latest KT session says that you need to "copy root's key into known_hosts" for access to a restored machine during a DR exercise.
13:48 <@Dagmar> wut
13:50 <@Dagmar> Probably because any reasonable punishment for violation of the gag order would be to throw the fucker straight into jail, and then he'd argue that he wasn't able to properly defend himself against the charges
13:50 <@Dagmar> The *good news* is that this shit is likely to send him to jail
15:22 <@Mirage> Apparently the Mu* devs had a sense of humor back in the day and I just didn't get it.  Had the old default admin passwd pop into my head from my TinyMUSH days and decided to google it to see what came up.  What I found surprised me:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potrzebie

15:28 < Evilpig> fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu  just got my legal bill for the first half of the month.  $5100
15:32 < Evilpig> this is gonna hit 30k.  I just know it.  total paid out to date on this 14,681.19 + 3500 for the retainer
15:40 < Synx_> holy shit
15:40 < Synx_> anyway to recoup any of that from her?
15:42 < Evilpig> nope
15:43 <@Mirage> Do I need to post the old Bloom County "you don't sue poor people" comic again?
15:43 < Evilpig> the final custody hearing is going to cost me $1800 in straight lawyer time as they have set out 3 hours for it
16:03 < Synx_> oof

17:45 < Synx_> i need to change my number, i call my dr office so many times its embarrassing, they know its me when they pickup
18:45 <@Dagmar> ugh.
18:46 <@Dagmar> There's an entire bathroom sink and vanity on my front porch.
18:46 <@Dagmar> It belongs to a neighbor a few doors over.
18:46 <@Dagmar> I'm sure UPS does this because she has a bunch of steps and I don't
18:46 <@Dagmar> I'm not toting that 
19:01 < Evilpig> lol

20:09 <@Dagmar> Well, this year I was fucked over by H&R Block
20:09 <@Dagmar> Rather than run the numbers and then mysteriously fail to generate the forms like Intuit, apparently they just went through the transaction history and decided the cost basis for the one $1536 sell order was _zero_
20:10 <@Dagmar> So this is the third year in a row the tax preparers just coulnd't be bothered to do their jiobs
20:10 <@Dagmar> Christ alive
20:12 <@Dagmar> If they'd had their shit together I would have had them re-do a few years returns because two years ago I wound up paying taxes on $6000 that I didn't actually earn
21:01 <@xray> Squatty Potty has a bunch of commercials that are "interesting".
21:32 <@Dagmar> Speck has one of those
21:32 <@Dagmar> She did not take well to the suggestion that it was to help her climb up onto the toilet
