[quasi ridge]

They'd have to pay out the nose just to drag him to court and then say "He hacked our stuff"...then prove it...with damaged equipment

[olive mason]

im sorry

[lime trout]

that logic only works with civil litigation

[quasi ridge]

Then it'd come to light in investigation, during discovery, that oh..they're also doing illegal stuff

[olive mason]

its just cool to hack but i wanna be a goood one yk?

[lime trout]

you can still be criminally charged regardless

[olive mason]

not a bad one

im reading rn

[quasi ridge]

the burden of proof is on them

the system's not going to want to engage tho lol..he solves problems for them

[muted olive]

your intent is questionable lol

[quasi ridge]

but that's not to be relied upon ob

[lime trout]

it still doesnt change the fact it is a crime

[quasi ridge]

100% is a crime

[muted olive]

maybe you should clear yourself up on how authorized hacking activity takes place before thinking its mr robot or youtube scammer payback videos or something

[eternal mango]

As for the battery, I could just scrub over the video again and give you a second hand "this is how", but the video will communicate it better. I honestly can't remember the details, I just know one specific point is preventing the formation of dendrites within the battery which causes deterioration of performance due to consumption of battery chemicals, and even failure due to short circuits

Like.. growing wires through many charge discharge cycles

[muted olive]

I swear I've heard the word dendrites somewhere before

[quasi ridge]

growing wires? what?

[quasi ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/hellraiser-pinhead-what-coolstorybro-head-gif-4593768

These are Dendrites iirc

[eternal mango]

Just watch the video

[muted olive]

doesnt ring a bell

oh I was thinking of deadites

[quasi ridge]

nvm...those are Cenobytes

[muted olive]

from evil dead

[eternal mango]

or don't

[quasi ridge]

fine I've got the time g0b I'll go

[quasi ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/army-of-darkness-swallow-your-soul-gif-10557290

still haven't seen the new one...that reminds me, I should

even if I heard it sucked :/

[eternal mango]

It's like when you do that experiment with copper sulphate with copper electrodes, by electrolysis you see transfer of ions and deterioration of the anode in the circuit, and build up on the cathode

Like with electro-plating

[muted olive]

But.... isn't solid state less effective?

[quasi ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/judas-priest-metal-eagle-scream-for-vengence-gif-14022299

@eternal mango I know you get the ref

[muted olive]

Activation energy for ions to move in liquid electrolytes is significantly lower

[eternal mango]

The video says it all 0xcnJo, I'd be doing it an injustice by trying to explain it

[muted olive]

i'll give that a watch

[exotic pendant]

[eternal mango]

Ok back to work for a bit, so you're safe from yapping for a while..

[quasi ridge]

mmm tldr: solid parts, no liquids involved

[muted olive]

I think there's some trade offs in a chemical point of view

But overall pros outweigh cons

[quasi ridge]

heh...ironically now I think the batteries make better sense for hte name than the drives :/

[muted olive]

also semi SSB is 5% liquid or something

[muted olive]

👋

how's your bug hunting going

[quasi ridge]

mechanical drives of the past are just as solid as the ssd so name totally unjustified

[exotic pendant]

sup

[quasi ridge]

whereas here we have solid vs liquid debate

[eternal mango]

The claim on charge speed is pretty mental right?

[quasi ridge]

didn't get to that..how fast?

[eternal mango]

I can't remember, but fast

[muted olive]

I have a question
Have you ever submitted DoS bugs for Windows to Microsoft before?

[eternal mango]

Unless I'm mistaken, and mixing up this presentation with another

[slate gate]

Hey people!

[exotic pendant]

They hardly take them unless they're not self

[quasi ridge]

skipping around, it seems like they're basically 10y away in practicals

[slate gate]

Did anyone tell me, for what this server is build?

[quasi ridge]

super duper funded labs != mass manufacturing

[muted olive]

oh

[sick gate]

ninja creami recipe sharing

[quasi ridge]

But to get that money, it's seeming like cyber where all the buzz words get the money @eternal mango

[muted olive]

can you submit CVE request through MITRE?

[eternal mango]

I mean they're already producing them

[quasi ridge]

just throw word salad with techy vocab and get more money to get a product you can then throw word salad at for more money to actually figure out manufacturing

[eternal mango]

I agree though

[quasi ridge]

that's my assessment of what that vid says

[exotic pendant]

Usually you need vendor first

[eternal mango]

Just because they have a plant running, doesn't mean they will replace lithium tomorrow

Just exciting to see what's up and coming

[quasi ridge]

like yea...we're getting good results...on like...... rich kid's rig.... not a Dell type concept

[eternal mango]

No I mean, in the video and in the quotes

[exotic pendant]

Open source can be exception because you can send the patch yourself and then use mitre to apply

[muted olive]

just checked and my dos bug got marked Review/Repro at MSRC

[slate gate]

okehy!

[eternal mango]

a literal production level facility is making them today

[exotic pendant]

That just means they’re looking into it

[eternal mango]

But the same applies

[exotic pendant]

When it gets marked Dev it’s approved

[muted olive]

Nope I checked. Its buffer overflow which can overwrite adjacent structures to cause DOS. Theres no strong enough primitive for LPE

[exotic pendant]

Can send and I can look to help

[muted olive]

[eternal mango]

How long did it take for Li-ion to replace nicad

You already got it submitted so I cant steal

[muted olive]

I'll collect files and send the driver to you

[exotic pendant]

Wait it’s a self driver?

[muted olive]

wdym?

[exotic pendant]

Or is it the same one we had earlier

[muted olive]

no its present in all windows by default

not the earlier one

[exotic pendant]

Ok

[eternal mango]

Ah whatever

It's new tech, and new tech is cool

[lofty warren]

hi g0blin

[eternal mango]

It'll roll out when it does, and that's neat 😄

[lofty warren]

[eternal mango]

Ahh, here's the quote from the sources I was thinking of

QuantumScape partnered with Volkswagen Group to put its QSE-5 SSBs in the new Ducati V21L electric racing motorcycle.13 The QSE-5 has an 844 Wh/L energy density, charges from 10% to 80% in around 12 minutes, and Volkswagen says its capable of “race-level power outputs.” The all-electric V21L had 150 horsepower and hit 170 miles per hour on the Mugello Circuit.14

Totally out of context I know, but from the sources and script for that video https://undecidedmf.com/solid-state-batteries-hype-vs-reality/

I'll stop now

because I must sound like a battery conspiracy freak

[quasi ridge]

12 min is pretty great

[eternal mango]

I just got a little excited

Pretty sure the remaster is not hard to find

[scenic maple]

man some times i watch some movie and i think uk is too beautiful

i wonder if its true

[eternal mango]

Sometimes

But mostly it's wet

[scenic maple]

it showed lush green forest and trees having leaves touching the water

[eternal mango]

Well that's true

[scenic maple]

kinda like if someone crafted a dream garden

man thats so frickin epic

[eternal mango]

You can find forests like that close to most towns

...unless you're in the center of London

[scenic maple]

i just saw 28 years later

movie

it had stuff like this but more epic

[eternal mango]

Yup

[scenic maple]

[eternal mango]

We've that and more, if you know where to look

[quasi ridge]

England is a wet cold place..so stuff grows

[scenic maple]

if you guys have stuff like this

why would u live in city

[junior harness]

morning all 🙂

[scenic maple]

that would make no sense

[quasi ridge]

jerrrrrrrrbs

[eternal mango]

That's why I don't

And never will

I can't stand to live far from the sea

Or the woods

[scenic maple]

[quasi ridge]

Of course he does

[scenic maple]

yeah but it isnt really pocket size

[scenic maple]

i wonder how travellers get across when they face a river

[eternal mango]

No, but my dad used to run a chandler store

[quasi ridge]

There he is visiting Paris 😉

[eternal mango]

That had a few moorings

One year it flooded so much we rowed along the town roads

[scenic maple]

[maiden stone]

https://tenor.com/view/floki-viking-vikings-serie-gif-17991368965906632974

[scenic maple]

so how drastic is the sea level rising thing

[quasi ridge]

sounds like down on the coast here this past week

[scenic maple]

does water often flood the roads?

[quasi ridge]

We got so much rain

[eternal mango]

That happened once in my life

Freak high tide and storm surge

[quasi ridge]

154-168mm of rain this wk

[scenic maple]

hmmm once in 20 years is not bad

[eternal mango]

dawh

[scenic maple]

tbh people would fly away

like a cotton ball in those

[eternal mango]

As for the sea level, it depends.. erosion is causing the demolition of many houses along cliffs on the south coast

But long ago my home town and the nearest other were separated by sea

[scenic maple]

aw man thats a big issue in my country too

[eternal mango]

Not that long ago

[scenic maple]

truth is there is just no way to stop water cutting away soil

no matter how hard u try

[eternal mango]

yup

You can put up as much as you want

but it'll still eat away

[scenic maple]

so how far away r u from sea

i think i would live around a few kilos around

just to make sure it doesnt eat my house

and i can visit

[eternal mango]

maybe 200 meters or so here

[scenic maple]

dang thats very close

[eternal mango]

It's not bad, long time until I'm going to worry

Big cliff, lots of land

Did you know, we have a desert? 😄

[scenic maple]

no way

how is there a desert with that much rain

[eternal mango]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeness

It's not what you think

But it's the UK's only desert, or perhaps only desert

[eternal mango]

Apparently the Met Office refuted that lol

[scenic maple]

https://tenor.com/view/orange-cat-cat-side-eye-cat-side-eye-orange-cat-staring-gif-4749659952322810298

i would love to live in this desert lol in my place shit hits the fan sometimes and its 40+ degrees celcius

[eternal mango]

Huhm Google says it receives too much rain

Screw you Google

It's our Desert

My dad helped build one of the nuclear plants there ☢️

Was part of the crew anyway

Ran cranes at that point, so did a lot of lifting during construction

[scenic maple]

bro ur family has crazy lore

[eternal mango]

haha

[scenic maple]

very influential

i mean even u

and probably other people in the family tree as well

[quasi ridge]

lmao, desert in the UK?

[scenic maple]

its desert ish

not a desert "desert"

[eternal mango]

My mum ran TACEVAL in the RAF before I was born, and grandparents, well they didn't talk much about their service

[quasi ridge]

here's desert....

[muted olive]

looks more like rural farming area ish

[scenic maple]

i think whatt makes it crazy is that uk does look like a fantasy island sometimes

[eternal mango]

Looks like?

[muted olive]

slightly desert

[eternal mango]

Mate

I'm from there

[scenic maple]

well it might as well be

[eternal mango]

Rural is nothing like it

[muted olive]

o I see

[eternal mango]

Anyway, regardless if it's a real desert or not, it's still our desert

It's a barren landscape

Void of most life

There are Midges in Scotland that can carry away a small dog

[junior harness]

very small mosquitos that get through mosquito nets and they hunt in the millions the fekkers

[scenic maple]

wait so they come in batches like not alone?

[eternal mango]

They come at night, mostly...

[eternal mango]

Yes

I mean I've only been yapping about the place for the past 30 minutes

[quasi ridge]

Ohh

Yeah her mum and I separated when she was like.. 1

but I'm always around, always involved

[quasi ridge]

:/ I have one about that age now...

the others already know me, but that's the one that really hurts the most...she's not yet...cognizant or whatever the word is

so as much as she loves me now, I'll be a stranger later

[eternal mango]

Doesn't have to be so

But easy to say

when I don't know

[quasi ridge]

depends on what wife and courts do...

we'll see...first I need to get money together just to separate and live elsewhere

i see

[quasi ridge]

my whole perspective is...I'm down to do civil living but she's not even interested in that

for some reason it's too much "suffering" and the better answer is to be a bitch til I leave

It picks up children, babysits them, pays rent, and so on....way more than a coparent

Hanuka or

[scenic maple]

[quasi ridge]

If we have a holiday any time around then, it's Hanuka..This year it's already started since last night

But it's 100% unrelated....and Christmas as you know it is 1 version. Catholic/Protestant Christmas is December. Orthodox/Coptic/other Christmas is January

Sometimes down in the Old City here there are brawls over this between monks lol

[muted olive]

what do you do in hanukkah?

[quasi ridge]

the avg person lights a candle for each night

us more religious folks have added liturgy in daily prayers but that's like... 10% of the global population

[muted olive]

7 days?

[quasi ridge]

which is maybe...like 1M people out of ~10M

[quasi ridge]

8

[muted olive]

ah

isn't that the point of Christmas gifts you don't want? 😉 to give away or return for store credit?

[eternal mango]

To some it's food, presents, a tree

Carols, candles, singing

To some it's a celebration around their religious beliefs

others.. excuse for the pub

[muted olive]

I see

[eternal mango]

Surely you know about xmas?

[muted olive]

Yeah I know

I'm not christian but I like christmas because its festive

then again we dont do most stuff

have tree with decor

no fancy food or presents though

[eternal mango]

All god, neither am I

[cerulean bloom]

same

[eternal mango]

Was just confused when you asked if it had a religious perspective

[sick gate]

we have a huge lunch, few beers, go for a swim, fall asleep at 3pm

[young glen]

I put a Christmas tree in my apartment yesterday

[eternal mango]

boxing day dip in the sea

[lofty warren]

If you don't know, my favorite kite on Christmas is that I will get more sleepy

[sick gate]

yeah absolutely

[muted olive]

ahh boxing day

I would love that in some places

the concept

[sick gate]

i live like a 10 minute walk from the beach atm so thats my every day

[eternal mango]

Samesies more or less

Maybe I'll do it this year..

[muted olive]

@eternal mango i'll be HTB CTO for boxing day. hand over the reins.

[eternal mango]

..and then instantly regret it

[sick gate]

arent you in the UK though

yeah

lmao

[eternal mango]

yuup

One UK tradition I cannot stand is the fox hunt on boxing day

[sick gate]

grim

[eternal mango]

Stood up a few times, and you just get beaten by their thugs

Police nowhere to be seen

[muted olive]

do you eat the foxes or something

[eternal mango]

"it's a tradition"

NO

[sick gate]

sport apparently

[eternal mango]

Farmers and prats hunt them for sport, even though it's illegal

[muted olive]

that is dumb

why kill them for no reason

[eternal mango]

Ok, not all farmers, and not all prats

But there is a correlation

"noble tradition"

[young glen]

🔥

[eternal mango]

mmhm

It's sickening

[muted olive]

I mean I'm not surprised

the british empire loved hunting animals

well documented fact

[eternal mango]

....

[sick gate]

i would think it originated as a way to get everyone involved to control fox populations by farmers

[eternal mango]

I don't think that's something purely the British did lol

[frigid mountain]

hi hey hellow

[young glen]

😎

[muted olive]

in India at least, during their colonial rule, they were obssessed with animal hunting

[eternal mango]

Maybe, but honestly I think majority of it grew purely as sport

[frigid mountain]

I rode in a Waymo driveless uber in Atlanta and didn't die

[muted olive]

not now

at least I dont think so apart from the fox thing

but in the colonial times... yup

[young glen]

Didn’t know they had those

[eternal mango]

Yeah true, trophy hunting was a big thing I agree

Just.. hunting in general, humans been doing that for a while 🤣

But blood sport, dressing it up as a celebration

[muted olive]

yeah

[eternal mango]

You are taught to appreciate other cultures

But this is supposedly part of my culture

so I can call it sick and horrible

🤣

[muted olive]

I'm glad modern day britain is largely not like that anymore

mostly

[eternal mango]

mmm

Still many toffs

Still many hateful people unfortunately

But that's the way everywhere

[muted olive]

they are everywhere

[young glen]

🐝

[eternal mango]

That is a bee.

We like bees.

[frigid mountain]

bees knees

[muted olive]

Intigriti

[cerulean bloom]

🐝🐝🐝

[eternal mango]

Argh I need a screen break, this thing is really ticking me off (work, not here)

Fresh air and I'll get it working in five minutes

https://tenor.com/bBcrJ.gif

[cerulean bloom]

is this....... all of the bee movie 🤣

[scenic maple]

yes

😼

[muted olive]

😼

[cerulean bloom]

I'm lowk scared so much

I keep worrying if I made like a huge mistake on my test

[scenic maple]

average asian feeling

[cerulean bloom]

mostly cuz you can leave blanks on some answers

but did I accidenlty misplace a ton of answers?

thats what I'm most nervous about

I pray that didn't and doesn't happen, but

[scenic maple]

by the time you go to uni you will stop caring

and life will be like "man how do i get this over with"

[tough yarrow]

can we disable bitlocker in windows home T-T

[scenic maple]

have u tried yt tutorials?

[cerulean bloom]

thats the problem, I have to get to uni tho

MIT's the goal

[scenic maple]

studying in MIT is so flex

[cerulean bloom]

this score COULD definitely change my life completely

so I beg and pray that it is good

[scenic maple]

u dont need to care tbh

if not mit

ivy leagure for sure

[cerulean bloom]

I mean, if my score is good, and I get accepted to HS, then I have a much better chance of getting in

I'm so stressed

https://tenor.com/view/stress-stitch-gif-25586692

[tough yarrow]

not working i was actually installing dual boot ubuntu in my secondary ssd but when i tried switching windows showed the encrypted stuff

[scenic maple]

whats done is done

no need to think more of it

[cerulean bloom]

[scenic maple]

🫂

[cerulean bloom]

this is one of the big reasons I wanna be an adult and be done with school

[supple plume]

You're doing very good already as a kid

[native plume]

Make your own uni just like a startup

Powered by AI

Vibe learn with us

[supple plume]

I wish I got into cyber at your age

[cerulean bloom]

I'm attending MIT

lol

MIT is the main goal tbh

[supple plume]

Vis nuts

[native plume]

Good luck

[cerulean bloom]

and win ICPC

[eternal mango]

Writeup is there now echoes 🙂

[supple plume]

I have done it very differently

I think mine is dope, should I submit it as a Walkthrough?

[eternal mango]

Hell yes

[cerulean bloom]

what are we talking about lol

writeups?

for wut

[supple plume]

Does it benefit me somehow?

[eternal mango]

Writeup was nothing to do with me, I just asked the team and they fixed it

[vivid flower]

Lol

[eternal mango]

It's linked to on the site for the machine, you get to share your findings with others?

[weak kernel]

Guys suggest some Machines or any path on HTB for the Active Directory. Not Advance . Normal --> Medium

[supple plume]

Yeah, but do you think is going to benefit for when I apply for a htb role?

[cerulean bloom]

for learning or hacking AD?

[weak kernel]

Hacking AD

[eternal mango]

Publishing and sharing knowledge I'd say is a plus for any hiring manager to see

[supple plume]

Ok then I'll do that today

[cerulean bloom]

I'd go to HTB, search for AD (would be windows machines probably), and solve them based on their rating, how many people solved it, etc.

[vivid flower]

Or you could just do it because its a good thing to do..

[supple plume]

I have many things to do and I have to prioritize

[eternal mango]

Putting your process to paper is an excellent way to help solidify knowledge

[vivid flower]

Crazy idea right

[weak kernel]

ok Thanks!

[eternal mango]

Priorities are priorities though

You're not gonna get brownie points for being first or anything

[supple plume]

What's brownie points?

[eternal mango]

Like, extra acknowledgement, recognition, seeing it as above others

What I'm saying is

submit it in your own time if you want

[vivid flower]

Just do things because they're good calling that brownie points is a materialist notion that sucks the goodwill out of things

[eternal mango]

Well that's what I meant

[muted olive]

💪

[eternal mango]

What I said*

[muted olive]

writing SAT?

[supple plume]

We can dm if you want

[cerulean bloom]

SSAT

for HS

[eternal mango]

I gotta get back to work sorry

[supple plume]

Ok

[muted olive]

for what US schools?

[vivid flower]

I teach to mog professors

[cerulean bloom]

thats a secret

they're US boarding schools, I can say

[potent raft]

Hiya

[muted olive]

https://tenor.com/bUNCI.gif

[muted olive]

so you're going there on F1?

[cerulean bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-believe-you-ron-burgundy-will-ferrell-anchorman-youre-lying-gif-15177693

[muted olive]

or its like US operated

[cerulean bloom]

I think so

[muted olive]

in SK

[eternal mango]

I wasn't saying to post it for brownie points though tyc, sounded like you got the opposite of what I was saying

[cerulean bloom]

yeah

[vivid flower]

My students are gonna have oscp before they even graduate

[lofty warren]

hey man, can you speak a "bottle water" pls?

[muted olive]

good luck then

[vivid flower]

Youre right i misread it

[muted olive]

be sure to get the interview right

[cerulean bloom]

yeah, its gonna ve really hard

[cerulean bloom]

"I love America, I've wanted to go to America since I was 7"

[eternal mango]

phew ok, glad I checked

[muted olive]

🤣 clear your social media too

[frigid mountain]

@eternal mango Why do my jaws hurt? Why does my body hurt? Saw some big UK names this weekend at Jungle Bells ATL. 10pm-7am every night. Junglist Massive!

[cerulean bloom]

I have no social media against America

[muted olive]

oh and be sure to demonstrate great love towards your studies

[cerulean bloom]

oh yeah

[muted olive]

and less love towards protests and stuff

[eternal mango]

You probably know the answer

[vivid flower]

You should get that checked

[cerulean bloom]

🤣

[muted olive]

since they will auto reject that

[cerulean bloom]

well, here's the thing

[lofty warren]

you should be change to "ive wanted to go to America since i was born"

[frigid mountain]

Too much chin wagging m8

[cerulean bloom]

I first need to be accepted by the school

[muted olive]

and be sure to demonstrate intent to come back to SK even if you dont

[frigid mountain]

i talked a lot and chewed a lot of gum

[muted olive]

that you can manage

[neon zealot]

@hexed oyster

[cerulean bloom]

I got rejected last year 🤣

[eternal mango]

We're clear right tyc? Would hate to head off with you thinking I see such things like that lol

[muted olive]

well theres always this year

[cerulean bloom]

and my SSAT scores need to be good

[muted olive]

whats the syllabus for the ssat?

[vivid flower]

Yeah

[frigid mountain]

@sharp shuttle She never texted. Oh well. Such is life.

[cerulean bloom]

vocabulary, reading, math
those are scored, there's also writing an essay that's sent to the schools

[vivid flower]

I told u man you have to get hers

[cerulean bloom]

math is easy
I'm afraid for reading
vocabulary, I'm also afraid

[muted olive]

oh man I wish I could write your test for you lol

[cerulean bloom]

🤣

[vivid flower]

If you count on someone else doing something voluntarily then you give them the chance to not come through

[muted olive]

in fact I wish I was writing that test

sorely

[cerulean bloom]

lol

[vivid flower]

Dont make plans contingent on other people

[cerulean bloom]

if I get even just a decent score, I have a chance

[muted olive]

just spray unis

[cerulean bloom]

wut

thats in like 4 years

[muted olive]

apply to every one

i mean schools

whatever

[cerulean bloom]

lol

yeah, I sprayed last year and this year

[thick forge]

[muted olive]

ironic how X gets what Y wants and Z gets what X wants.... and so on

I got like endless US uni offers over and over this year

some by physical mail too

and im not taking any

[cerulean bloom]

I wish my life was the same

[muted olive]

that was with SAT anyway

[cerulean bloom]

I'm really bad at vocab

I forgot what torrent meant on the quiz 🤣

[muted olive]

are you native english speaker?

[cerulean bloom]

nah

I live in SK

[eternal mango]

Could've fooled me

[cerulean bloom]

wdym

[muted olive]

same

[eternal mango]

(that was a compliment)

[muted olive]

it means you speak like a native speaker

[cerulean bloom]

thanks 🙂

[cerulean bloom]

yay

[muted olive]

take ielts if you want

or just read books

[cerulean bloom]

no

no more tests

yeah

read more books

thats the plan

[muted olive]

read harry potter

entire series

[vivid flower]

There are better things

[fierce vale]

brah

[cerulean bloom]

hmm

[muted olive]

its good to start with

then percy jackson if you want

[cerulean bloom]

toooo easy tbh lol

[muted olive]

not necessarily a higher reading level just that its interesting

[cerulean bloom]

I'm not TTTTTHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAT bad at vocab 🤣

[vivid flower]

[muted olive]

no i mean i like percy jackson because the story is cool

and i like greek gods and stuff

[cerulean bloom]

oh lol

it is

[muted olive]

not that it teaches you english or whatevs

harry potter does that tho

[cerulean bloom]

it really does

[lime trout]

Consider: Merriam Webster

[muted olive]

can read veronica roth stuff if you'd like

divergent series

[cerulean bloom]

I also forgot what prudent meant on the quiz too

[muted olive]

peak

[cerulean bloom]

ooooooo, yeah, divergent

[muted olive]

wise

[lime trout]

This sounds like a middle school reading list sir 😭

[cerulean bloom]

doesn't it mean caucious?

[cerulean bloom]

cuz I'm in middle school

well, technically now high school

[muted olive]

well I have the reading flavor of a middle schooler

I love divergent

[cerulean bloom]

[vivid flower]

Read the Iliad

[fierce vale]

atleast you didn't say peppa pig

[cerulean bloom]

peppa pig 🤣

[muted olive]

oh yeah and peppa pig

[lime trout]

Why not bluey

[muted olive]

I tried "advanced reading" once

which is just clasical stuff

blah

most of them dont interest me

[cerulean bloom]

I'm getting scared again

[vivid flower]

The iliad is peak storytelling though

[muted olive]

tried reading jefferey archer once, then ran into very explicit nsfw content in the first 10 pages

quit after that

[lime trout]

Isn’t the average reading level like 5th grade

So arguably middle school is advanced reading

[muted olive]

kind of

I guess advanced is the long and boring classical stuff

[cerulean bloom]

William Shakespeare

[eternal mango]

Didn't you just recommend jefferey archer?

[muted olive]

song of ice and fire is also peak

[lime trout]

Þough aren’t wrong

[muted olive]

nah

[eternal mango]

Oh, no.. that was percy jackson

similar name right

[muted olive]

yep

[eternal mango]

...

I'll get my coat

[vivid flower]

I dont really like game of thrones writing

[scenic maple]

is it i will get mai coat

or i will get mi coat?

[muted olive]

i just dont like watching series of game of thrones

show will go on forever

[eternal mango]

me

[muted olive]

its like chewing gum

[scenic maple]

[eternal mango]

I'll get me coat

🤣

https://tenor.com/view/get-me-coat-gif-20920321

[cerulean bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/im-stressed-sheldon-cooper-panicking-nervous-anxious-gif-16590451

[muted olive]

tbh good series often becomes a chewing gum

like star wars

first 6 movies were good

[lime trout]

Line must go up

[muted olive]

after that it was gum again

[muted olive]

atp its money milking, becomes boring and uninteresting

like the new HBO harry potter series

[lime trout]

Think of the poor shareholders

[muted olive]

or IT: Welcome to Derry

those things exist for money milking

[lime trout]

They neeeddddd a 6th yacht

[cerulean bloom]

alright, I'm good again

[muted olive]

although this is good

Im watching it and its good

[vivid flower]

Dont consume slop then there are good things worth reading and watching but you have to have standards

[eternal mango]

I have a recommendation for a quick psychological thriller if you're interested DonutMaster

[cerulean bloom]

is it PG13

[vivid flower]

When somebody destroys the continuity of a thing you like , like they did with the star wars movies you have to say to yourself, i'm not willing to subject myself to that

[eternal mango]

It's a book

..mostly

[muted olive]

which reminds me that the season finale of welcome to derry is here today
time to see who pennywise eats in this one 😼

[cerulean bloom]

what's it called?

[muted olive]

yeah

[eternal mango]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Styx-Christopher-Hyde/dp/0600206629

Styx

[muted olive]

I stopped watching star wars beyond the sixth movie

[eternal mango]

It's very good

[muted olive]

thats where the story should end

instead

$$$

and you include prequels and shit

which no one is interested in

[vivid flower]

I say this a lot but you would like Legend of the Galactic Heroes

[muted olive]

not seen that one, but will check if its available

i think its the same thing that happened with the avengers tbh

I dont like superhero stuff but I feel its waaaaayyy too extended now

[vivid flower]

There's a remake, but the original is better. Its only on hidive. Just torrent it

[muted olive]

like batman vs superman crossovers or whatever

[muted olive]

I torrented most stuff

star trek tng etc

ah star trek

another money milking franchise

[cerulean bloom]

@cerulean bloom just for keepsakes

[muted olive]

you know like... just take the franchise till where it needs to be taken

for it to be good

try and extend it for money, it turns into an L quickly

[vivid flower]

https://youtu.be/xGeOEr6yFL4?si=Th-TSpYWHTQ-GdvJ just watch this and you will understand how good it is

[muted olive]

oh its anime?

tbh anime is the exception for dragging on a series

[eternal mango]

lol

[muted olive]

because thats what makes anime anime

a good anime never truly concludes

or maybe it does if its truly good

sounds like saturation point is reached

[vivid flower]

This was #1 on animedb for a long time

[young glen]

Wow

[vivid flower]

Because everyone gave it 10 and said it was the best thing ever

[eternal mango]

Seen you mention it before. Can't say I'm a massive Anime fan, but I enjoy what's good

Added to the list

Good obviously is a matter of perspective, but some things are just universally good I think lol

[muted olive]

Anime is like marriage. Easy to get in, hard to get out. 🤣

[eternal mango]

What did you think of Pickard?

Without Googling it

[muted olive]

whats that

[eternal mango]

It's Picard spelled wrong

[nimble tundra]

A wild nullifiedsec appears

[muted olive]

you mean picard? the star trek thing

ah

[eternal mango]

Star Trek

[muted olive]

not much

I just liked picard in TNG

not interested in individual series much

[eternal mango]

You didn't think much of Picard?!

[muted olive]

never seen it

[nimble tundra]

lmao

[eternal mango]

How can you not think much of it then

[muted olive]

I mean I wouldn't be interested with where the storyline goes

[eternal mango]

lol

Wow, you're missing out

[nimble tundra]

whats the topic guys ?

[eternal mango]

If you loved STNG

Honestly, Picard is moving

[muted olive]

maybe ill try it

[eternal mango]

Maybe

Then tell me what you think

[muted olive]

sure

[eternal mango]

I can't say anything after that without sounding like an old fart

so I'll just go get my slippers and call it quits

It IS a very good series though

[cerulean bloom]

I've never watched star trek, I've always wanted to tho

[vivid flower]

I dont like the new Picard, he just flies around and gets humiliated apologizing to people

[eternal mango]

hahah

Ok well there we are, maybe it's not good

[vivid flower]

It feels like it was made by people that hate him as a character

[eternal mango]

I enjoyed it, you didn't, you're split 50/50

Hell just make your own mind up by watching it 🤣

or don't

[vivid flower]

Compare that to something like what I just posted where it goes deep into philosophy of rule in the space of 8 minutes

[eternal mango]

Dismissing something just because you don't think you'll like it though, man you'll miss out on so much in life

[vivid flower]

Same to you

[eternal mango]

That wasn't really directed to you tyc lol, just a muttering

[vivid flower]

It's a meme that people say it's impossible to convince anyone to watch legend of the galactic heroes, even despite how good it is

[eternal mango]

oh

[vivid flower]

Because its always on someones backlog

I want you to understand this is the greatest thing you probably will ever watch

[cerulean bloom]

better than:

[vivid flower]

After you watch this, you will have a hole in your heart because nothing else is as good

[cerulean bloom]

avengers end game?

I have a really bad taste on movies tbf

[eternal mango]

Ok, I've bookmarked a copy, I promise I'll watch some this evening.

[cerulean bloom]

@austere sinew daily ping!

[austere sinew]

@cerulean bloom

[vivid flower]

You have to start with the movie
