(trilema) 2016-12-30 ben_vulpes: for those who *still* miss the point, joining and parting is opening and closing the squeaky doors on a hall where 5 people are arguing and 500 muffling laughter and groans

00:51

Vexual

hello adlai. still drunk?

00:51

adlai

also, the whole "this is my castle, that is her castle, i don't like your programs so you get your own castle, courtesy of the PDPC" bit probably made folks hesitant to speak anywhere for any reason whatsoever

00:51

adlai

Vexual: of course, how else is one supposed to banish hangover demons?

00:52

Vexual

shame spirals ftw

00:52

*

adlai has begun rereading one of the "king arthur" yarns, the one that tells it from merlin's pov. apparently starting to drink at age 17 is about a decade too late.

00:52

adlai

still, at least i didn't begin at 27, like the folks who bought bitcoin at 17 and sold it at 25.

00:55

Vexual

you got sent to the arm straight outta scool rihgt?

00:56

Vexual

prolly on signals

00:56

adlai

what is this, a niven fan convention?

00:56

adlai

i got conscripted to the local militia because the state conscripts.

00:56

Vexual

we're just chatting. people always assume i'm an officer

00:57

adlai

officer of what exactly

00:57

Vexual

of police. i dunno

00:57

adlai

that's probably because you use irc

00:58

adlai

maybe also because you look like a cop. have you tried hitting a cop? this usually makes you look less like a cop, at least, from the perspective of the hit cop.

00:58

Vexual

I had to nod at some cunt on a yeild sign

00:59

Vexual

aout of unifrom nooded like I should move

00:59

Vexual

I noddel like `you move'

00:59

adlai

nah dude. engine off, keys out, walk over, stand out of turn radius, point at open road. their move!

01:00

adlai

worst case? they kidnap you and sell the car.

01:00

Vexual

I shouls have movced like that

01:00

adlai

second worst case? they kill you and leave the car as a memorial.

01:00

Vexual

In acutuallity. I moved

01:00

adlai

other cases left as exercise for william gibson

01:00

Vexual

who dat?

01:00

adlai

wrote books, maybe still does

01:01

Vexual

one wonders if f were allowed to have discussions in alf's house?

01:07

adlai

you appear to be making excessive use of the subjunctive mood.

01:09

adlai

regarding your earlier questions: i have returned, with a stronger drink than before; and although signals were beamed in my direction repeatedly, i failed out of smart kid interviews and never had much of a chance at fast crawler tryouts.

01:10

adlai

this must have pleasantly surprised my mother, who kept filling my head during the preceeding decade with nonsense about how i crawled so much as a baby. guess what, mom, baby is no longer a baby. crawling is not easy work!

01:10

adlai

however, i was still useful at the tryouts, since i got injured in the crawling race, so they dumped me on a stretcher and those who weren't injured, had to carry it.

01:11

adlai

this is not the exact truth, although the truth is left as an exercise in hippocampal fidelity for anyone present at both occasions.

~ 28 minutes ~

01:40

adlai

Vexual: incidentally, in what situations to "people always assume [you're] an officer"?

01:41

adlai

e.g., i often wonder whether people think i'm a plainclothes prompter for off-duty military folks, since i've had a bunch of conversations that could've interested the kind of people who do this for a living

01:41

adlai

thankfully, israel is a small country, within a smaller world, everyone knows everyone else, and nobody has any secrets anyway

01:42

adlai

this is also why we drink.
