[maiden nymph]

me when it’s my turn to make a pile of dogshit in the make a pile of dogshit competition but I see solo leveling already completed:

[fathom igloo]

So you then

@plush cobalt have you had a root canal before?

[plush cobalt]

No. I choose to let my teeth rot, then allow a new tooth to grow from the rotted remains of the former tooth, like a phoenix

[plush cobalt]

You wish 💅

[fathom igloo]

I’m going to preform a Root canal on you

[plush cobalt]

My phoenixes are doing just fine

[fathom igloo]

Implants can’t get cavities but they can trap food…. Let me help you by ripping them out

[plush cobalt]

I only have two implants and they're not teeth

[fathom igloo]

Did it hurt

[plush cobalt]

When I fell from heaven? No

[fathom igloo]

Well it’s not too late 🔨

[vital marten]

Snow this year

[plush cobalt]

Is a hammer a typical root canal implement

It's January no more snow

[fathom igloo]

Raph was talking about Shawarma earlier now I want some

[vital marten]

We’ll have a tornado in a week don’t worry

[plush cobalt]

Much better

[lilac quarry]

ok omar damn

bbl??

[plush cobalt]

You can get it no one is stopping you

[fathom igloo]

No, but they are now

[fathom igloo]

The fact I’m stuck inside sick is

[plush cobalt]

Have you considered not being sick

[vital marten]

Just leave it behind smh

[fathom igloo]

I’m going to sneeze into your eyeball

[plush cobalt]

What the hell

She should be banned for that message

[vital marten]

Threats of biological attack

[plush cobalt]

Erm, mods??

[oak gazelle]

HOW CAN SHE SNEEZE

[plush cobalt]

This one I'm surprisingly okay with

[vital marten]

But how

[plush cobalt]

I am less okay with this one

[fathom igloo]

Oh sorry not enough foot for you. Too much hand.

[plush cobalt]

Too much of both

[vital marten]

It’s bad enough getting an eyelash in your eye now what about someone’s entire lashes 😭

[vital marten]

All toe no foot

[plush cobalt]

This definitely will not do me any favors to say but hands are conceptually more weird looking to me than feet

[vital marten]

Why do you have these Cambrie 😭

[plush cobalt]

Good question actually 🧐 Who's the real freak here

[fathom igloo]

Tenor keyboard

[plush cobalt]

Likely story

Your keyboard is a soprano

[vital marten]

This is a fitting reaction to allergies

[plush cobalt]

Yeah that's just an average spring

[fathom igloo]

Oh wrong chat haha

i just want to sit and look at a wall

[rain mango]

[trim vault]

[rain mango]

jeez

[fathom igloo]

Me at 3 am

[candid patio]

i just laid the groundwork for the best valentines day present

hopefully it works out

[short tinsel]

I being great news

America has the discombobulator

Idk what it does

It’s just the discombobulator

[oak gazelle]

guess we upgraded from covfefe

[short tinsel]

Perchance

Maybe it goes along with it

[rain mango]

this is what mods feel like

[plush cobalt]

I bet whoever wrote this originally included “you dumb motherfucker” but QA told them to scale it back a bit

[rain mango]

this is oddly specific

[rain mango]

LMAO

[plush cobalt]

Integer max value

Less lazy explanation: maximum value for a signed (i.e., can be positive or negative) integer that can be stored in 32 bits

So not oddly specific—it's a power of 2 minus 1

[thin wedge]

mmmm fluride and 5g covid chip vaccine

[rain mango]

remembering the darkness of b42 nights

[oak gazelle]

should I watch tropic thunder or kick ass tonight

[plush cobalt]

Both

[thin wedge]

tropic thunder

at the same time

[plush cobalt]

Tropic ass

[oak gazelle]

nic cage and rdj in the same fever dream

[thin wedge]

never go full kick ass

[oak gazelle]

for a while I mixed up Super with Kick Ass, both good movies but for different reasons

[candid patio]

i'm really amazed that you didn't catch an auto mute for this

probably delete this

he's definitely on the do not talk about list

[candid patio]

howdy partner

[oak gazelle]

once I finish up the rest of Dan Vs. it'll be Tropic Thunder then Kick-Ass 1 and 2, kinda zombie movied myself out last weekend

my poor rx 580 just encoding my media going 'I used to play games'

[plush cobalt]

Maybe they relaxed it to not include potential false positives for the verb that shares the name of the current US executive branch

[candid patio]

picking a movie and watching the whole thing sounds like a whole job rn

[oak gazelle]

I get it, some days it's all I can do

[candid patio]

i said a certain owner of an electric car company's first name... but yeah i get what you are saying... with a lowercase t that's a verb

[oak gazelle]

then I just choose a channel / old programming like old sci fi channel or adult swim shows and just watch those en masse

[plush cobalt]

I like to turn on the TV and switch it to the channel with the creatures

[candid patio]

i was super into one piece for like 300 episodes... then i got to season gap in netflix and i lost interest

[candid patio]

that sounds really pleasant

[plush cobalt]

It's very nice

[candid patio]

okay i know everyone hates ai

[oak gazelle]

If nothing else I can just hit randomize all on my plex movies

[candid patio]

but if there was an ai david attenborough talking about animals service

with random footage of animals

even if its ai footage of animals

as long as it was accurate

[plush cobalt]

He's still alive

[candid patio]

that would be dope af

[plush cobalt]

He's still alive and still works, what would be the point

[candid patio]

you think he has time, or people are going to pay the production costs of making the real thing?

i'm talking about every animal

[plush cobalt]

Why not just watch the many things he has provided his voice to

[candid patio]

because its limited

iono you can hate ai or not thats not what i'm trying to talk about

i just think that if this thing existed it would be really cool

[oak gazelle]

could get the same effect by doing drugs and watching old attenborough films tbh

[candid patio]

and like... without it, you would have to curate his whole collection of relevant works

and figure out some way to spool it together in an endless loop

[oak gazelle]

lol oh no collecting media I like its such a chore

I can't relate media curation is my jam

[candid patio]

telling a robot to make you a never ending stream of david attenborough narrating animals doing stuff just sounds so easy

[plush cobalt]

Have you watched all of it already? Idk I don't see the utility when there's plenty of nature documentaries

[candid patio]

honestly i think you are really cool for that.

[plush cobalt]

Especially with generated footage. Then you're not even watching nature

[short tinsel]

I got automuted a couple days ago becuase of saying a certain figures name who had a bad day a little while back

[candid patio]

do you have like a vinyl collection?

[oak gazelle]

nah just lots of cds dvds and blurays

[short tinsel]

And then i said not to post anything related to “insert name” and got
Muted again

[candid patio]

think of it like animated content. it can still be educational and informative.

[oak gazelle]

which all get encoded and thrown onto my plex media server

[candid patio]

personally I would enjoy it... but i can understand why you wouldn't

[plush cobalt]

It's not comparable because it doesn't have the same goal

[oak gazelle]

I haven't had cable tv in over a decade because it's easy to stream the new stuff and buy what I like the most later when realeased to media

[plush cobalt]

If it's trying to mimic nature footage then it would likely fool viewers not aware of the AI, whereas animation is clear that it's illustrative in nature

[candid patio]

you aren't going to convince me that i don't want it. I understand your side of the argument and i choose to view it differently. i don't think it should be controversial.

[oak gazelle]

the happy medium between those are real shows like Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared

[plush cobalt]

I'm not trying to convince you of anything

I don't care if you want it lol

I'm saying I don't see the utility of the idea. At no point did I say “you are wrong for thinking this and this is controversial”

[candid patio]

do you have a prized piece? like something that is rare and hard to find that you are proud of?

[candid patio]

@plush cobalt

[plush cobalt]

?

[candid patio]

the convenience

you said you don't see the utility

the utility is that it is convenient

[plush cobalt]

It sounds like you're the one trying to do the convincing

[oak gazelle]

some lost media cuts here and there but honestly just having my old favorites on deck from certain channel eras like cartoon networks golden age bring me a lot of joy

[plush cobalt]

You can want it, I don't personally see the utility

Phones and TVs are plenty convenient for me

[oak gazelle]

just rewatched Dr Horribles Sing Along Blog

such a specific placeholder in american media

[candid patio]

well if you don't want to see it, i won't try any further to convince you... but you said something very specific that i had a very specific answer to.

i LOVE convenience

comfort and convenience are two of my favorite things

[plush cobalt]

I don't think convenience implies utility

[candid patio]

i prize that quality over everything else

[short tinsel]

Dragon ball super is coming back

[oak gazelle]

my box sets for black books, community, parks and rec, outlaw star, cowboy bebop etc I just like having the ability to rewatch what I love over and over without worrying about if my streaming service is eventually going to just drop it

[short tinsel]

That’s cool

[candid patio]

quality is my third c

cuality

[plush cobalt]

Not that I'm anti-convenience

[candid patio]

that's an interesting perspective

[plush cobalt]

Just like, in the same way that easy doesn't mean good

It's easy to fill my socks with ice

[short tinsel]

7/11 has all the utility

And convenience

[oak gazelle]

now that I've thought about it the answer is obvious, my box set of courage the cowardly dog

[candid patio]

so in your opinion, you would say that convenience is not useful, profitable, or beneficial?

[candid patio]

that's actually really cool!

[plush cobalt]

It can be all of these things, but I don't think it inherently is no

[candid patio]

is there anything special with it like a fold out manual or something?

[candid patio]

hmmmm... inherently...

[mellow birch]

it often does in the contexts one’d decide to use the word convenient to describe something

[candid patio]

"convenience is not useful, profitable, or beneficial in a permanent, essential, or characteristic way"

[oak gazelle]

chasing down a box set of dexters lab and the fairly oddparents but yeah I think there's some extra features in the courage box set but just standard stuff like commentary alternative audio tracks

[plush cobalt]

Nonetheless doesn't imply it imo

[plush cobalt]

This is a strange way to interpret statements lol

But yeah

[candid patio]

i'm substituting the definition of the words you use for the words you used.

[plush cobalt]

What I mean is the “essential” part. Convenience doesn't imply those in and of itself

[mellow birch]

I agree that it perhaps isn’t essential, but it does imply utility generally speaking

[plush cobalt]

Yeah I know, I think it's odd to restate instead of just asking for clarification of my intent

[candid patio]

I am just trying to understand your perspective.

[mellow birch]

it sounds like you’re trying to say that convenience isn’t always good, desirable, or useful, and I’d definitely agree with that

[plush cobalt]

Sure, but when I'm saying I don't see the utility & the response is that convenience is the utility, I think it bears mentioning that convenience isn't utility itself (in my opinion)

[candid patio]

I would argue that objectively convenience is useful and beneficial, and often times profitable, in a permanent, essential, or characteristic way.

[plush cobalt]

Essentially this yeah

[plush cobalt]

Essentially this yeah

[mellow birch]

meh

[candid patio]

alright alright hold the phone here

[mellow birch]

convenience is a pro, but it doesn’t inherently outweigh the cons it implies

[plush cobalt]

I agree

[mellow birch]

that’s the more straightforward way of holding a similar perspective

imo at least

[candid patio]

I feel like if you hold this opinion truly and fully, then you need to give up things like running water and flushing toilets.

[plush cobalt]

I don't think it gets at what I was trying to say

I do agree with it though

[mellow birch]

you’re being dumb

[plush cobalt]

“always”

[oak gazelle]

ooh going to have to go back and finish quantum leap as well. think I got to season 3 last time before getting distracted, and I'd like to finish it up before watching the reboot. got to look through my collection and see what zombie content I forgot about after doing the 28 days later marathon

[plush cobalt]

Good show

[candid patio]

that's not nice. i'm just trying to understand people's opinions.

[oak gazelle]

such an iconic concept and execution

[candid patio]

i didn't realize i was annoying you.

[plush cobalt]

You should probably reread the message you responded to

Your response came across as an intentional misinterpretation in bad faith, but maybe it wasn't intentional

[candid patio]

this is too vague for me to understand

[plush cobalt]

This one

[twin bear]

My nephew is a pure troll in gmod oh my god

[candid patio]

i understand this. it feels rude. but i understand. thanks for your clarification. i'm gonnna go now.

[mellow birch]

I said convenience isn’t always inherently worth the trouble it can cause

[plush cobalt]

Okay, have a good day/evening

[oak gazelle]

had to ask myself what year it was

[mellow birch]

you said that therefore I must give up things that are sanitary and useful to be consistent

I think that’s a dishonest and dumb argument to say in response to what I said

[oak gazelle]

the wonderful thing about the human condition is being capable of contradiction in self expression without sacrificing authenticity

[plush cobalt]

If we assume it wasn't in bad faith it could've just been misinterpreting what “always” was modifying, but that's probably a stretch

[mellow birch]

sorry for not being nice, I like you and think you’re plenty capable of saying smart things, you just did a dumb ;p

[plush cobalt]

That is, understood it as “always isn't” rather than “isn't always”

[mellow birch]

oh, yeah, I guess that would make that response make a lot more sense

it felt very, um

[twin bear]

Bald water sports no swim caps all shiny heads

Hear me out 26 Olympics

[mellow birch]

Slappy’s response to me saying convenience isn’t always worth the trouble it can cause felt like this image xD

[twin bear]

Cartoons

Peasant looks like the guy from that one open world exploration game

[unreal bane]

Alright what's all this then.

[twin bear]

Babdi or wtv

[mellow birch]

nothing to see here Hana

just a birb chirping and a hand slapping

and Omar uh

(Omar)ing

[unreal bane]

Yes, I'm aware you're not much to look at.

[candid patio]

"being able to proceed with something that you desire to do with little effort is alwaysuseful, beneficial, and often profitable, in a permanent, essential, and/or characteristic way"

[oak gazelle]

oooh so close

1 xp

thats ridiculous

[twin bear]

Boring

[unreal bane]

[oak gazelle]

okay so real question time, Letterkenny or Shoresy (the show not character within said first show)

[candid patio]

if you are going to insult my intelligence for holding that belief, i think it deserves a bit more of refutation than telling me i'm dumb

[mellow birch]

that’s not why I called you dumb

it was specifically how you responded to what I said lol

[candid patio]

that is the belief that i was trying to convey. so if you are calling my example of that dumb, that's fine

but if you are calling that belief dumb, i'm offended

[mellow birch]

okay

[plush cobalt]

I wasn't joking when I said you should probably reread that message 😅 this really might be due to having misread it

[mellow birch]

this response specifically made me think you were being dumb

not the basic idea that convenience is generally good

[candid patio]

i understand that. thanks

i think what you are trying to describe from your side of the perspective, is that sometimes convenience is a bad thing.

[mellow birch]

yes

it doesn’t always outweigh the cons of its practical creation

[candid patio]

and while i can understand that as an idea. i feel like objectively if something is a bad thing, it is not convenient.

it could be marketed as convenient

[mellow birch]

convenient in one sense but detrimental in another

that’s capitalism in a nutshell

[candid patio]

but in reality its not convenient

[simple bear]

a squirrel and a hawk too

[plush cobalt]

Wouldn't that mean the thing you described that started this discussion wouldn't be convenient? Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying

Regardless of how you feel about AI, it certainly is detrimental in some respects. This is true of nearly all technology

[mellow birch]

I didn’t even realize this was all about AI

[deep socket]

Where

[plush cobalt]

It wasn't, that was just relevant to what started the discussion

[mellow birch]

I just saw you saying convenience is overrated and got interested

[plush cobalt]

I think after we acknowledged we weren't on the same page about the AI thought it really became a discussion of semantics lol

[candid patio]

this is what i'm interested in as well

i am fascinated by someone who could think that convenience is overrated.

give me an example

of something convenient that you think is detrimental

[mellow birch]

because so much of our modern world is designed around convenience

let’s look at AI

the convenience of outsourcing your own cognitive processing

[candid patio]

okay AI ONLY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CONVENIENCE

keep your anti ai bs quiet

[mellow birch]

it is detrimental in many other ways

let’s look at amazon

[karmic jetty]

i am here

ooookay

[mellow birch]

it’s a highly efficient rube goldberg machine of human suffering and convenient deliveries

[karmic jetty]

i am leaving

[candid patio]

wait on amazon i'm pondering this part

[plush cobalt]

I'm not saying this as a gotcha, I'm genuinely trying to approach what you're saying in this message: would it not be an example of what you said here?

[candid patio]

nope i'm pondering hang on

[mellow birch]

not thinking for yourself is expedient but isn’t beneficial in the long run

calling it convenient or easy to utilize is also true

[candid patio]

pehaps are you saying that relying on ai to do various forms of thinking for us, that is detrimental to society, and because of that, ai should be scorned and shunned, even if it can do things that are fun and convenient?

and that detriment exceeds the benefit

[mellow birch]

I do believe that generally speaking but that isn’t my argument here

I’m saying convenience can be double edged

it alone doesn’t make something good, something being too convenient can have its own set of drawbacks

[plush cobalt]

This would probably be easier to discuss with an example that people are less opinionated about

On either end

[mellow birch]

an example of how AI can be convenient: cognitive offloading

very convenient, very bad for a person’s development

[candid patio]

i agree with that when looking at it from your perspective, but from my perspective, the opposite side of my convenient sword is still convenient. if something is negative, its inconvenient

that's a different sword

except its a frying pan

[mellow birch]

that’s where we disagree

I don’t believe things can be separated out like that

[plush cobalt]

I'm not sure I understand this analogy

[mellow birch]

the world isn’t words, it’s reality with all of its messy interconnectedness

[candid patio]

genuinely interesting statement

[long pumice]

hello, is chicken apocalypse fixed?

[karmic jetty]

i dunno whats goin on but i feel like i should stay out of it

[plush cobalt]

This is because you are ruled by fear zeerol

But that's okay. Coward

[candid patio]

i screen grabbed that because I really liked it

[karmic jetty]

i fear for p word

[plush cobalt]

I don't think this is all that political

[mellow birch]

I think it is (that’s a good thing)

[karmic jetty]

oh no i was thinking of a diff thing

[candid patio]

jesus, that's getting called p word???

[plush cobalt]

Poopie?

[candid patio]

can't talk about anything anymore

[unreal bane]

[long pumice]

im arguing with my friend on our server, he wants to slaughter all my chickens, saying that the chicken apocalypse is not fixed at all and im arguing against it because i like the chickens. i would love an answer ::)

[candid patio]

that's a paddlin

[mellow birch]

no idea

[karmic jetty]

free chimkens

[mellow birch]

hope this helps 👍

[oak gazelle]

not his tiny, tasty dinosaurs, not his call

[plush cobalt]

This is general chat, we don't know what project zomboid is. You should kill your friend's character to protect the chickens

[mellow birch]

also, thanks <3

[candid patio]

perhaps that's a strong neurodivergent opinion that i have... but objectively... what i say or read about things... is my only description of reality

[mellow birch]

it’s something I had to struggle hard to understand

as an autistic person it was hard to grasp

[plush cobalt]

Interesting

[mellow birch]

this is the words of a very neurodivergent person breaking away from thought patterns that got in the way of understanding reality in high fidelity

[karmic jetty]

is this all just about convenience or thinking machines

[plush cobalt]

Both

[candid patio]

like i can describe something round or triangular or big or small without words...

[mellow birch]

now it’s about epistemology

[candid patio]

but like... sign language is still words

[karmic jetty]

idk the full convo here but imo convenience should not be without regulations

[mellow birch]

the words are the impression the thing leaves you with, not the thing in of itself

[candid patio]

oooooh that r word feels close to p words

i can't discuss that but i think its a neat opinion

[mellow birch]

therefore logically contradictory ways of describing something can be true

but in different senses

[karmic jetty]

thinking machines are harmful period

[candid patio]

i'm declining* to ponder that at the moment

[mellow birch]

declining?

[plush cobalt]

Calculator: hey what the fuck

[mellow birch]

I disagree

[oak gazelle]

a calculator calculates, it doesn't think

[candid patio]

thinking machines? home computers?

[karmic jetty]

shouldve run on boiling woter instead of batteries

[candid patio]

desktop pcs?

[plush cobalt]

Neither does any current technology

[oak gazelle]

bingo

[plush cobalt]

Yet it's used as an analogy

[candid patio]

thinking machines are 100% harmful?

[oak gazelle]

and so much of ai hype and misinformation is based around that misconception

[candid patio]

if you say 99.9% harmful... i can accept that

[plush cobalt]

Probably because to the layman it doesn't matter

[karmic jetty]

i just call ai thinking machines as a doon reference

[candid patio]

but if you say 100% im gonna work really hard to disprove it

[karmic jetty]

but yeah none of it are actually thinking machines

[candid patio]

oh i don't know what that is

[plush cobalt]

I agree it's an important distinction

[mellow birch]

Dune

[oak gazelle]

which is why it'll never be anything but a niche market but nobody is ready for that

[plush cobalt]

Just saying, to most it isn't

[candid patio]

i know what that is but i haven't ever consumed any content related to it

[oak gazelle]

won't be long before datacenters mysteriously start shuttering

[mellow birch]

oh

[mellow birch]

you know the Butlerian Jihad?

[plush cobalt]

I think we're a ways away from the bubble popping but soon would be nice

[mellow birch]

AI/computer bad war

humans win

[candid patio]

this sounds like updog.

[mellow birch]

decide not only AI bad but computer also bad

[plush cobalt]

What's updog?

[oak gazelle]

frank herbert is just the quentin tarantino of scifi authors

[mellow birch]

so in Dune nothing is computer

[oak gazelle]

solid enough but quite overhyped

[candid patio]

nothin much, hbu?

[plush cobalt]

What? I'm asking you what updog is

[oak gazelle]

it's a setup

[candid patio]

im dying

sdtop

hahahaha

[plush cobalt]

I'm joking lol

I was gonna pretend to not know updog longer but I fear it would be frustrating

[mellow birch]

it would’ve been funny

[karmic jetty]

if datacentres werent harmful (especially environmentally) and its usage wasnt for complete dogpoo then i would prolly be more okay with them

[candid patio]

but if this is a genuine question the answer is no, my eyes or ears have never been exposed to that combination of letters.

[dense swift]

hi can some one help me with my mods?

[mellow birch]

zozo was referencing Dune lore so I was talking about it .v.

[candid patio]

got it

[plush cobalt]

What do you mean dogpoo? It's of vital importance that my searches are summarized so that I don't have to do anything actively and get potentially misinformed

[candid patio]

i like this actually... sory for not responding omar made me laugh too hard

[karmic jetty]

ur right i also need my dose of videos where apples eat apples

[candid patio]

until this moment i've never tied the bad of data centers to ai

[plush cobalt]

It would be nice if the focus were more on the data centers more often

[candid patio]

like i know that you can't have one without the other

[plush cobalt]

They're seriously fucking up a lot of areas

[karmic jetty]

how ai is advertised is intentionally severed from what it actually is

[plush cobalt]

& yeah that's pretty normal

[candid patio]

but i feel like in theory... one day... you could have good ai completely free of all of the problems caused by data centers

[karmic jetty]

ever notice why those ai thingies always iconized with sparkles and magic?

[plush cobalt]

What zeerol said, same shit was done with “the cloud” instead of “the server where we keep your personal data”

[candid patio]

but maybe "completely free" is unrealistic

that sounds like a fantasy

[karmic jetty]

they want u to think its magic and not big datacentres polluting environments

[deep socket]

Even if ai was environment friendly it wouldn’t have a purpose really

[rain mango]

hes so stupid❤️

[karmic jetty]

freddy night five

[plush cobalt]

Curious what you mean by this

[karmic jetty]

[candid patio]

right exactly... don't forget all of the other costs besides operating the data centers... construction... the damage to the earth when they mine the components to make the computer parts out of... etc etc

it would literally have to be magic

[rain mango]

gettin freddy on a five night or something

idk

[candid patio]

it would need to not need physical data centers

[rain mango]

waiting for fnf: the full ass game

[plush cobalt]

Curious as someone who doesn't use AI (in the sense of chat bots with an LLM in their stack and in the sense of generative AI) but sees at least some cases where people are using it for something

[candid patio]

you cant just move them to a more ideal location or make them require less finite resources to operate

[deep socket]

generative ai specifically just recycles images already in public domain it’s pretty meaningless

it’s just stealing

[rain mango]

generative AI is just theft but more complex

[plush cobalt]

Ah, you mean generative AI used for images. Gotcha, agree

[candid patio]

i am 100% convinced that data centers are objectively bad and that anything that needs their existence to function is not worth the cost

however, the ai cat is out of the bag

and my belief won't put it back 🙁

so since it exists... i might as well take advantage of it

[plush cobalt]

It's worth clarifying that this applies to basically all major apps, including Discord

[rain mango]

openAI declared they'll likely be bankrupt by 2027 as they arent being funded and are losing billions to fuel chatgpt which is reportedly used as either a chatbot or a shitty "meme" (if you can even call it that) generator

[karmic jetty]

bankrupt yeah sure...

[oak gazelle]

the earths resources were already at capacity before this huge datacenter ai push. so now we're selling out our futures by way of limiting already precious resources for human use and making life HORRIBLE at any of the like 5000 datacenters that exist in the us alone

[candid patio]

i would press the button to nuke discord if it nuked all the data centers.

[oak gazelle]

it's morally reprehensible at it's best

[plush cobalt]

Data centers aren't unique to AI data, they predate it & are used for regular stuff too

[candid patio]

that sounds worth

[rain mango]

the 10 quadrillion government bailout right around the corner (AI SLOP > HUMAN LIVES BTW)

[plush cobalt]

Ok very fair (not said ironically, I mean I agree)

[karmic jetty]

it is imperative that the locals residing near datacentres do not have clean woter or power bcs end users need their slop

[rain mango]

ALL PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS BTW!

TAXPAYERS WANT AI SLOP!

[candid patio]

i understood that but appreciate the clarification 🙂

[rain mango]

TAXPAYERS HAVE ALWAYS WANTED AI SLOP!

[candid patio]

i'm trying to think of an app i wouldn't press the button

[oak gazelle]

we don't need ANYWHERE near as many data centers as we have, it's all built on market speculation not reality

[rain mango]

TAXPAYERS HAVE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING BUT AI SLOP!

I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, WINSTON.

[candid patio]

steam...?

would you press the button for your steam games?

[plush cobalt]

I'd press it

[candid patio]

oh man

[plush cobalt]

I can always legally obtain the games

Peer to peer too, doesn't rely on data centers

[candid patio]

press the button to obliterate the entire present and historical concept of chess

and data centers

[plush cobalt]

I've gotten so used to saying legally obtain to refer to piracy that I didn't even register that I typed it

That's wild

[karmic jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-beggar-gif-19761345

spare games can i have spare games

[rain mango]

chess.com banned russian users from expressing their nationality

[candid patio]

i don't think i can do it for chess or steam

[rain mango]

so let it burn

lol

[karmic jetty]

this a referens to i have no games

[candid patio]

i'm gonna show you my scroll bar.

[plush cobalt]

I would get rid of chess ten times over

[rain mango]

discrimination pmo

no matter who its aimed at

[karmic jetty]

i played chess last night with echo

[plush cobalt]

Who won

[karmic jetty]

me

i was in the chess club

[plush cobalt]

She's cracked

[karmic jetty]

(but didnt play chess)

[plush cobalt]

Wait what

[rain mango]

IN THIS HOUSE
WE LOVE EVERYONE EQUALLY
LOVE EACH OTHER
NEVER HATE EACH OTHER BASED ON SEXUALITY, GENDER, SKIN COLOR, RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION, POLITICAL BELIEFS
MAKE FRIENDS
BE FRIENDLY
BE LOVELY

[oak gazelle]

lol

there's always a bigger fish

[candid patio]

i would hit the button for chess.com but not lichess

[rain mango]

I 🫀 FRIENDS

[upper rain]

Yess

[candid patio]

and not otb chess

[plush cobalt]

I don't think there's anything I wouldn't hit the button for

[oak gazelle]

my unplayed titles on steam alone is like 672

[plush cobalt]

If I lost everything I have on GitHub it would be very upsetting

[karmic jetty]

thats alot of no games

[plush cobalt]

But worth the cost

[candid patio]

i don't know what i would look forward to with no steam and no chess.

[plush cobalt]

That's fair

[oak gazelle]

it'd be checkers and epic games store

[candid patio]

what do i work a job for if its not to have time for vidya

[oak gazelle]

sad stuff

[candid patio]

i don't know what the reward would need to be... but i don't think i would press a button that changed chess into checkers... for any reward.

[candid patio]

a billion dollars to turn chess into checkers... okay probably

but its still questionable

[plush cobalt]

All it took was money to fold

[candid patio]

i need 0 dollars to play chess

[plush cobalt]

Would you do it for no more world hunger

[candid patio]

mannnnnnnnnn

[karmic jetty]

chess dot com would be better if they add battle pass and gacha

[plush cobalt]

Bro 😭

[candid patio]

that's a low blow

[plush cobalt]

Oh I thought you were about to say nah lol

[candid patio]

would i starve a child for my entertainment?

fuck man

ummmmmmm

[rain mango]

a job that pays 8$ an hour and requires you to have a bachelor's degree in rocket science and trigonometry for whatever reason at the ripe old age of 16

[plush cobalt]

If a billion dollars is worth it surely that's worth it... Surely...

Please say your answer into this microphone

[candid patio]

just to clarify

[oak gazelle]

I feel like a billion dollars could develop a better game just saying

[candid patio]

if i pressed the button

[rain mango]

what button are you holly jolly fucks talking about

[karmic jetty]

gib me a billion dollars and ill double it trust

[plush cobalt]

The button

[candid patio]

no human being ever from the moment i pressed the button until the last human dies would struggle with food insecurity?

[rain mango]

how about you kiss my holly jolly button without the on

fuck you

hoe

[oak gazelle]

we've developed the ultimate game! and it's just deep rock galactic survivor

[rain mango]

im SO pissed

[plush cobalt]

I really was just thinking now and for the foreseeable future, but for the sake of argument sure

[rain mango]

DIE

[plush cobalt]

No more world hunger forever

[karmic jetty]

holly jolly button? thats what they call me

[candid patio]

that's fairly similar

[plush cobalt]

By foreseeable future I meant in our lifetime

[candid patio]

as long as this is the argument... yes i would press that button

[plush cobalt]

Now I'm curious about what if that wasn't the argument

[oak gazelle]

now that's a title I wanted to play when it came out. not sure when I got it but Smalland survive the wilds is getting installed

[rain mango]

https://tenor.com/view/crazy-monkey-gif-21553825

[oak gazelle]

gonna have to put on honey i shrunk the kids for it

[candid patio]

i'm the hero of billions of humanity for the rest of my lifetime... yeah i'd still press the button. i will give up my favorite form of entertainment for the benefit all of the poorest people on earth during my lifetime.

i don't care if no one knows

and if i tell someone magnus carlsen will find me and stab a queen piece in my throat.

[plush cobalt]

That is a good thing to press the button for

[oak gazelle]

you press the button and every billionaire gets transported to the moon, do you press it

[plush cobalt]

Do they have space suits?

[candid patio]

i can even narrow it down from this

[oak gazelle]

did i stutter

[plush cobalt]

I press it

[oak gazelle]

I'd build it into a chair

[karmic jetty]

chat i think i might be blocked by a person i dont even know

[oak gazelle]

so I can press it every time I sit down

[plush cobalt]

Maybe they just didn't like your vibe

[floral fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-smg4skill-issue-skill-issue-smg4mario-smg4skill-gif-26104493

[karmic jetty]

unbelievable

[candid patio]

i would press the button if food insecurity was solved in just the 5 poorest countries for 10 years.

[candid patio]

but that is really close to my limit

[plush cobalt]

Maybe they saw you chat and said “ew... no thanks! erm, it's blocking time!”

[candid patio]

because pressing the button would have reprecussions

[karmic jetty]

[candid patio]

thousands of people in the chess industry would be out of a job

[oak gazelle]

love that middle of the night internet speed boost

[candid patio]

while it would solve food security for some people... other people will have to suffer

[plush cobalt]

Yeah wait if we're talking about the data centers one & if they all just suddenly shut down that would be pretty catastrophic

[candid patio]

so the amount of suffering inflicted has to be significantly less than the amount of suffering saved

[oak gazelle]

for about 2 days

[plush cobalt]

Medical records

[candid patio]

i'm not going to press a button if it inflicts suffering... or at least i'm not going to take that decision lightly

[plush cobalt]

I suppose non data center servers would still be up

[oak gazelle]

noble of you, several billion other humans don't have that hangup

[plush cobalt]

I think most of us press such a button on a regular basis

[oak gazelle]

suffering is inherent to the human condition but choosing to sacrifice x for y or z is always an interesting thought experiment

[karmic jetty]

what is this some kinda fear and hunger

[candid patio]

what if instead of nuking all the data centers, any that a panel of people selected by you that are deemed necessary and beneficial to human existence are saved and only certain ones are disabled?

[oak gazelle]

like you'd rather have a Bruce Wayne pressing the button if someone has to do it you know?

rather than say The Penguin

[plush cobalt]

Bruce Wayne? The billionaire? Uh he's on the moon now

[oak gazelle]

or Vince Vaughn

[plush cobalt]

Interesting

[candid patio]

what is a common way people press a button that is a net injury to humanity?

[oak gazelle]

lol if I were to have that option and he were a real person etc

changes the thought experiment parameters a bit

[plush cobalt]

I don't think I'm wise or informed enough to select that panel

[candid patio]

maybe i think too highly of myself

i feel like i don't press buttons that hurt people very often

obviously not just button pressing

make decisions

[plush cobalt]

To clarify, I was responding to and referring to “inflicts suffering”, not the “inflicts suffering [on humanity]” that the conversation implied

[candid patio]

okay still example please

[sturdy lily]

any of yall play hytale

[plush cobalt]

Mostly just a musing on how most of us regularly interact with things which are tied to suffering because many things are under capitalism

[candid patio]

i bought something
an ingredient that i bought in that something inflicted suffering to someone
therefore i inflicted suffering

[plush cobalt]

Yeah, essentially that. Not directly inflicting it, but contributing via consumption

[oak gazelle]

most commodities are based on exploitation somewhere along the sourcing pipeline

[candid patio]

im going to ponder this a moment

[oak gazelle]

not choosing to abstain is a daily choice we make

[candid patio]

i think we can collectively agree that the coca cola company has a history of inflicting suffering to people without getting into the p word.

i love coca cola and i drink it a lot

[plush cobalt]

Them and many others, yeah

[candid patio]

i'm trying to convince myself that me drinking coca cola causes someone else to suffer

[oak gazelle]

it's just sweet flower water but they've made it a must have for so many

[candid patio]

and i think as an individual, i don't buy enough coca cola to impact supply and demand for it

[oak gazelle]

wherever coca cola sets up shop human quality of health declines

we still choose it

[candid patio]

so i don't think in that situation, i inflict suffering.

[oak gazelle]

I'm no less contributing to social harm of misconception of product health by drinking coke zero vs regular coke

just putting my wellbeing on top of the pile

the moral call would be to just buy a sodastream and switch away from coke products

[candid patio]

that's a can kick and pretend i gave you a ted talk about 17 reasons why that won't change anything

"kicking the can down the road"

[plush cobalt]

If 100 people are paying Yum Yum Good Sauce company for their sauce, but Yum Yum Good Sauce also powers the orphan crushing machine I think they're all involved in the process regardless of whether it'd still be happening with 99. I also think it isn't necessarily a healthy way to look at things to consider it to be inflicting suffering, necessarily, so maybe my original statement didn't get at what I was thinking

[oak gazelle]

changing a persons shopping habits is absolutely an agent of change in capitalist society

[plush cobalt]

Moreso that we're all complicit, not necessarily pressing the button

I should've just said that

[oak gazelle]

coke is responsible for the damage they created and I don't share their blame for having consumed a bad product

[candid patio]

i agree that collectively we are complicit and i can have a crisp refreshing ice cold glass bottle of coca cola classic in one and and have a sign that says "ban all coke products" in my other hand.

or yum yum good sauce

is that a real sauce?

[plush cobalt]

I don't know

I made it up but probably

[candid patio]

it sounds good

[oak gazelle]

lol yum yum sauce is a well known sauce

probably forgot you knew it

[plush cobalt]

I was just about to say that after searching

I've never had that sauce

[candid patio]

and honestly an orphan crushing machine doesn't sound that bad

[oak gazelle]

hibachi yo

lol

fresh orphan juice

[candid patio]

orphans are a drain on the economy

[plush cobalt]

“Worth it for the sauce”

[candid patio]

they probably don't live good lives

[plush cobalt]

Are you a supervillain or what

[candid patio]

we are saving them from abuse and suffering

they need to be crushed for their own good

[plush cobalt]

I'm waiting for you to say psych 😭

[candid patio]

i am just being silly

[plush cobalt]

Oh thank goodness

[candid patio]

but I could make that argument with a straight face

[onyx igloo]

i just walked in and i have a struggle believing you are being silly

[plush cobalt]

It was delivered so straightforward I thought it was a genuine take and got worried

[oak gazelle]

okay but the button question now poses that billionaires get transferred to the moon with the press, but you also send all the orphans with each press too so that kinda sucks

wat do

[candid patio]

its too late you can't stop me the machine is already operational.

maybe this is too p word

[onyx igloo]

send the billionaires to space without oxygen tanks

[candid patio]

but i support "going home" in soylent green

[plush cobalt]

Fellas is it political to put orphans in a crushing machine

[candid patio]

i might even support making crackers out of it

[lilac quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/muscle-black-guy-funny-walk-on-my-way-mad-gif-17251597

[onyx igloo]

what the fuck is soylent green

[oak gazelle]

good people

[marsh glacier]

the less evil alternative is the Orphan Blender

[severe agate]

https://giphy.com/gifs/anime-uma-musume-i4z4keZlgFrCOoMKYw

[plush cobalt]

The lesser evil

[candid patio]

i'm gonna link you a summary because i don't want to get in trouble for typing it

[oak gazelle]

every time I see a Huel ad I can't help but thinking of soylent green

[plush cobalt]

Sorry this wasn't a correction I just edited it to be less political before sending

[oak gazelle]

the 1973 movie is a classic

[marsh glacier]

the option with a slightly less concentration of evil

[onyx igloo]

No with that gif you reminded me

[candid patio]

description of a dystopian book and movie called soylent green.

[upper rain]

Almost thought this was bladerunner

[candid patio]

you are saying the ratio is 1 billionaire and 1 orphan? transporting someone to the moon is effectively the same thing as murdering them unless you are transfering them to a functional space station on the moon with life support, food and water, etc.

what happens to the billionaires assets?

[oak gazelle]

that's up to those back on earth

[candid patio]

no

there's laws

wills

inheritence

[oak gazelle]

lol no billionaire has a moral wallet

the whole premise based off your orphans is just for silliness's sake anyway

[candid patio]

your scenario fails to present me with a benefit that would entice someone to press a button

oh okay you are being silly

thank you

[oak gazelle]

orphans of course should not be sacrificed just to get rid of our evil oligarchs

[plush cobalt]

I would make an orphan press the button

[lilac quarry]

I would make the buttons out of orphans

[candid patio]

lol

[oak gazelle]

give them all oxygen tanks and make it a game show to see who makes it back to the space shuttle back to earth first

well not the billionaires anyway, maybe one for fun

[candid patio]

okay when you are 85 years old... you can press a button... and the button forces a billionaire to work 40 hours a week as a person who cleans septic tanks, and redistributes 100% of their assets to a charity of your choosing, and you will immediately die

i think i would probably press the button

[rain mango]

https://tenor.com/view/sunflower-flower-sun-plants-vs-gif-257667609531660856

[candid patio]

if i felt REALLY healthy, happy, and fulfilled at 85... maybe i won't press it

[severe agate]

They just make it so they secretly own all the charities

[candid patio]

if instead the same benefit but it kills a random orphan instead of me

honestly... maybe?

i could help so many people with those assets

way more than 1 orphan

🤷‍♂️

if i found out after i died... someone pressed a button and it helped a bunch of people... i don't think i'd be that mad about it

i don't think most people share that thought though

that's too big of a sacrifice for most people

[oak gazelle]

most people are preoccupied with the notion of an afterlife than benefits them instead of others

[plush cobalt]

When I die I'm going to super heaven made just for me

[candid patio]

i think i'd willingly die for the significant benefit of a hundred people

that sounds fair

i have to ask my wife if she's okay with that

she'll probably say no

[karmic jetty]

mm chocolate

[plush cobalt]

I'd be willing to let someone else die for the benefit of a hundred people

Me? Oh, heavens no!

[candid patio]

lololol

okay because i'm married, the answeris no

because i made a commitment to her

but if i were single... she's the only person i'm committed to

i would rehome my dogs first

my family would get over it

f them anyways

i don't care if they are sad

slap that button

alright lets talk about something lighter i think i brought hte mood down

@karmic jetty what is your favorite brand / variety of chocolate bar?

[karmic jetty]

uhh

chocolate is chocolate

[thin wedge]

okay nestle eater

[oak gazelle]

toblerone is the only right answer

[candid patio]

i'm *a sucker for a gimmick for p word marketing... and it also tastes really good... but tony's chocolonely is peak

[karmic jetty]

whats p word

[candid patio]

they have a lot of buzz words about ||human rights|| on their packaging

[karmic jetty]

oh

[icy vigil]

Peanits

[karmic jetty]

i mean

wouldnt u like to know where ur fud came from

[severe agate]

No

[candid patio]

i absolutely like believing that my food came from a farmer who had a nice quality of life and earned a good income.

[severe agate]

I'm not interested in learning the ratios of insect parts they find tolerable enough

[candid patio]

even if what made me believe it is lies

[karmic jetty]

yommers

whats wrong with insects

[candid patio]

thanks for lying to me to make me feel better

"no limbs were lost by employees at the factory where this chocolate bar was made."

[oak gazelle]

anyone ever watch that old spike network show Deadliest Warrior?

[candid patio]

if you put that on your packaging i'm gonna eat that lie up

if its true great

if its not... im gonna believe it is and not look into it

[karmic jetty]

i like to imagine chocolate bar was forged in a smithy

[candid patio]

by like magical elves who live in a tree for some reason?

[karmic jetty]

why did u immediately assume elves

[candid patio]

...the keebler elves????

just making a reference to something that already exists

[plush cobalt]

I've not seen the disclaimers described bc I don't eat chocolate like that v much, and I figure they only put it there because of the human rights concerns being talked about, but it's such a strange and somewhat funny concept to me

[candid patio]

keebler chocolate IS forged in a magical elf powered smithy.

[karmic jetty]

who the heck is keebler

does he have a spess program

[candid patio]

you must not be american

[plush cobalt]

Like if I read “the making of this cheese did NOT involve ANY murder” I'd probably just think it did

[candid patio]

if you are american and you don't know what the keebler elves are...

[oak gazelle]

lol

then they probably aren't diabetic

[candid patio]

that would be like not knowing who the pilsbury doughboy is

[plush cobalt]

Who?

[karmic jetty]

this chocolate bar was NOT forged in a smithy

[candid patio]

i'm not taking that bait

[oak gazelle]

ron mcdonald never heard of the guy

[plush cobalt]

You're telling me there's a king of burger

[candid patio]

there is a literal king. of the food. not the place.

[oak gazelle]

nothing better than some kurger bing

[karmic jetty]

american fud always have the silliest names

doughboy?

[candid patio]

burger is a city

[karmic jetty]

sounds tupid!!

[candid patio]

so there's a mayor of burger, the city

[tall glen]

I've been listening to pink pony club all night

[candid patio]

but a king of the food

[oak gazelle]

idk have you heard some british food names

[karmic jetty]

like what

[oak gazelle]

BANGERS N MASH

come on

[candid patio]

I have a scale for songs

[karmic jetty]

that sounds fire

[candid patio]

from 1 to infinity

the number is how many times i can listen to that song and get joy from it

[oak gazelle]

jellied eels, bubble and squeak, spotted dick

[candid patio]

pink pony club is a 3.

[tall glen]

https://youtu.be/I5XR48KLE8I?t=74

[oak gazelle]

toad in the hole

I could go on

[karmic jetty]

sounds great to me mang

pass me the toad in the hole bruv

[candid patio]

that is to say i like the song pink pony club

but after the 3rd time i heard it, i had heard it enough

[oak gazelle]

its all just slapassed naming conventions

[plush cobalt]

This is an interesting scale

[karmic jetty]

pass me doughboys caked cheeks guy

[deep socket]

Do the British even have a name for the dish of baked potato with tuna and beans

[tall glen]

a bit of spotted dick?

[deep socket]

surf and turf maybe

[plush cobalt]

I can relate to some songs being at infinity on that scale but only for a limited time

[candid patio]

do you have any songs that would score over a 500 on this scale?

[plush cobalt]

Sometimes that time is days, sometimes weeks

[plush cobalt]

Plenty

I very often lock on to one song & have it on repeat for hours

[candid patio]

i do too

[oak gazelle]

so we all got the tism

got it

[deep socket]

I’d assume it’s not 500 times in a row for the preservation of sanity

[tall glen]

lol this comment

-When you live in a timeline where the world is burning, but GWAR is singing Pink Pony Club, so you're still ok

[plush cobalt]

I think it's a difficult choice for a scale because that varies for me so much

[plush cobalt]

Erm...

[candid patio]

baby blue shades by the "bad suns" is way over 500 for me

[karmic jetty]

i need to shower but its cold and raining outside

[candid patio]

also most of the songs from the disney move encanto

lol

[oak gazelle]

I'd recommend showering indoors then

[tall glen]

take a baff

[karmic jetty]

what if i just not

[harsh vault]

hi chat

[oak gazelle]

if you shower outdoors you gotta sing 'singin in the rain'

[candid patio]

hi. name a song you would listen to at least 500 times in a single year

A recent on repeat song for me was “Chaleya”, from the film Jawan. The film sucked but I like the song

[spring plover]

Yo guys

[harsh vault]

drukqs best album

[spring plover]

Are there any public servers with 100 people or whay ever

[oak gazelle]

windowlicker may be my favorite music video of all time

[harsh vault]

i dont watch his videos, i just like his music

[candid patio]

i am 38 seconds in
I don't think i could listen to that song 500 times in a year, it is too intense to listen to it more than once a day every day for a year.

[oak gazelle]

your loss

half the aphex twin culture is the videos at his shows

[spring plover]

Any multilayer servers with a lot of players?

[candid patio]

it does sound like a song i would enjoy

[oblique stream]

https://tenor.com/view/aphex-twin-weird-windowlicker-techno-chris-cunningham-gif-15844066

I don’t think I’d listen to anything 500 times on purpose and I really love music

You're better off either looking in #1019737819981283459 #1019725562337579028 or checking BattleMetrics

[candid patio]

i can suggest a similar song that i really enjoy specifically when i want an intense song

but i usually don't like things with that intensity

i'm not an intense person

[plush cobalt]

Here in gen chat we don't play games. We only have serious conversations, and we take ourselves very seriously here

[candid patio]

i'm in an apartment actually

[harsh vault]

if you asked to recommend a genre i could easily give you one

[candid patio]

have you heard anything by a group called pendulum?

[oak gazelle]

there's a song by a punk group called All they titled She Broke My Dick and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it

[harsh vault]

i always recommend jungle since nobody knows it and its such a vibe

[harsh vault]

no i havent

[oblique stream]

you mean drum and base

[harsh vault]

jungle

[plush cobalt]

This was a real struggle for me to parse but I got there

[oak gazelle]

Getting it on with bleep
I swear this really happened
I pulled my trick maneuver
That's when I heard it, snappin'!

[harsh vault]

Except when Omar tries to interject with his niche interests

[oak gazelle]

She broke my dick!
(Ow!) She goddamn broke my dick!

[harsh vault]

i hope you know what jungle is

[oblique stream]

Ofc i do

[deep socket]

I love jungle so much it’s the first thing I learned to mix

[oak gazelle]

it's a short song but you wont regret it

[plush cobalt]

And which interests would those be...

[candid patio]

i think if you like 54 cymru beats, you might also like blood sugar by pendulum... but its very much a song that would make you want to go outside and do windsprints... or drive a car really fast... or take a bunch of cocaine and box a gorilla

[lilac quarry]

Here he goes

[harsh vault]

you may be new but i like you already

[oblique stream]

its the amazon

[plush cobalt]

I only have Normal interests

thats a jungle

[harsh vault]

killing you metaphorically

[deep socket]

I’m sure you know venetian snares

[oblique stream]

:3

[harsh vault]

yaya

[oak gazelle]

Main vein shot with cortisone
An ice pack on the rest
It hurt so much but I'd do it again
Why couldn't I have just left her unsatisfied?

[Outro]
You don't mind if I leave the needle in while I prepare the cortisone, do you?

[lilac quarry]

Woah

Why name call

[harsh vault]

leon is freaky?

[plush cobalt]

It's not a name call you're just a freak

[candid patio]

and if you like blood sugar by pendulum, you will like a lot of their songs

[oblique stream]

Leon name leak

[candid patio]

i think their genre is called drum and bass?

[oak gazelle]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[candid patio]

i don't really know how to differentiate drum and bass from like... dubstep

[lilac quarry]

My legal first name is Zomboid

[oak gazelle]

not a wook then

[deep socket]

very different but just subgenres

[plush cobalt]

I was trying to avoid doxxing by pretending it's your surname

[harsh vault]

what about you

[candid patio]

dubstep is also great
and glitch music like glitch mob

[plush cobalt]

But I guess the proverbial cat is out of the proverbial bag and now public knowledge in the proverbial chat

[harsh vault]

is your last name john

[deep socket]

Drum and bass is pretty much exactly what the name entails

[plush cobalt]

What about me

[oak gazelle]

saw then at a dive bar in Austin TX over a decade ago

[plush cobalt]

I'm Normal

[oak gazelle]

sick show

[harsh vault]

prove

[candid patio]

proverbs 01:26

[candid patio]

that sounds incredible

[lilac quarry]

It’s snowing heavily

[candid patio]

drive it like you stole it

[lilac quarry]

It begins

[plush cobalt]

I'm employed, in a relationship, and I go outside sometimes just for the sake of going outside

[harsh vault]

i havent had snow yet

[oak gazelle]

especially with 1.50 tallboys

[candid patio]

one of the greatest tracks of all time

[harsh vault]

you are lucky leon

i like snow

[harsh vault]

this is the biggest lore drop ever

[oblique stream]

this is the biggest lie ever

[harsh vault]

be nice

[candid patio]

i'm going to fan a large piece of cardboard outside in hopes of blowing it away... its not here yet

i think i saw potentially 20 cm on the forecast

[plush cobalt]

I like to play two truths and a lie except they're all lies

[oblique stream]

be real, omar doesn't sound like employed or in relationship

or human

[oak gazelle]

some courage the cowardly dog ass thought

[harsh vault]

he doesnt sound like much, hes icognito with his personal life

[oblique stream]

he's an ai

[karmic jetty]

[oblique stream]

wake up

[plush cobalt]

Is there anything else I can help you with?

[lilac quarry]

Oh fuck

[candid patio]

back to my song scale... drive it like you stole it... easily hits 10k. i could listen to that song 10 times a day for a year... many years in a row

[lilac quarry]

Bye

[oak gazelle]

grababrushandputalittlemakeup

[oblique stream]

yeah some good crepes recipe

[plush cobalt]

I'm not sure I understand this scale anymore

I thought the number was the amount of times in direct succession

[deep socket]

But that’s insane

[plush cobalt]

Or direct repetition, rather

[plush cobalt]

I do this regularly

[karmic jetty]

only scale that matters is how many bornanas

[candid patio]

hmmmm in direct succession where i don't hear any other song in between, and anytime i specifically want to listen to music i only listen to that song on repeat?

but not like torture where i hear it when i'm trying to sleep

[harsh vault]

@karmic jetty did you see my impressive tarkov break

[plush cobalt]

Yeah, I thought you meant the max for that

[deep socket]

maybe you participate in many activities that aren’t so sane under investigation surely project zomboid isnt one of these

[candid patio]

damn i think that scale only maxes out at like.... 90?

[plush cobalt]

What the hell is project zomboid

[candid patio]

i'm just thinking of like the times i was really obsessed with a song

[plush cobalt]

I think I need to put a song length into a calculator and then come back

[candid patio]

maybe i listened to it for about 3 hours... so if its a 3 minute song... 20 plays an hour... so maybe only 60 consecutive plays

[oak gazelle]

I should figure out whats necessary for a pz server where we strive to kill zombies en masse with metal concerts bringing them out of the woodwork on an elevated platform in an arena where the zombies get funneled into kill zones

[deep socket]

Have you been obsessed with full albums before

sounds fitting

[plush cobalt]

Okay, a song of 3:20 length listened to on repeat for 5 hours is 90 listens. I have definitely exceeded this number on multiple occasions

[oak gazelle]

daft punk always did that to me, whenever a new album dropped eventually one of the tracks would need to be played on loop for a few days

ugh reminds me I need to migrate my music and audiobooks to plex next

[thin wedge]

daft punk vs the elephant foot

[plush cobalt]

It's happened to me for various artists, just a song that tickles my brain the right way for a while

Combine that with an entire day spent focusing on notes or programming & that's easily 100 listens

[upper rain]

aaaaaa

[candid patio]

that's neat!

[oak gazelle]

time to make something for dinner

[candid patio]

i think i could do a 100 listens in a day

but not consecutive

i'd pepper in some other songs that tickled my brain a similar way

but the buzz from their tickle was starting to wear off

like the "tom's diner" cover from annenmaykantereit

something about the way that guy shout sings
