  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

    You're being more of a pedant than I am.

    True...

    I'm not meaning to pick on Lazuli or anything, so sorry if it comes off that way.

    It's just a little trigger of mine because it's something people constantly get wrong and 90% of the time when you try to correct them they refuse to listen.
  • So I just loaded up Windows Mojave on my mom's old, 2006-era Acer laptop because 7 was horribly slow on it and it has "Mojave Capable" on the XP sticker it came with so I figured why not

    Also I refuse to call it the real name because people immediately assume the worst

    I believe you, it's just that I feel that if I posted "11PM EDT" as the time on twitter or tumblr people wouldn't know what I meant.

    If you watched my stream (going live very soon!) on it, you'd be watching Mojave on your Mojave.

    just

    sayin.

    This may be technically correct but, again, I have never seen this, and am not going to confuse people by saying "11PM EDT". 

    ...So, wait, you think that giving people the wrong time is less likely to confuse them than doing it the right way? That...how does that make sense...?

    Hi, Imipolex!
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Hello Aliroz. I hope your day was better than mine.

    I have never seen it.

    Like

    ever.

    Which makes me believe it's not common knowledge. 

    And I assume anyone who did know (like yourself) would just assume I meant general Eastern Time.

  • ...Is it bad that I just say 11PM ET or 11 PM Eastern?

    It was a pretty good day for me.

    I got to play in my grandmother's sandbox with the hose.

    I made a sandcastle and a sand-fish and a sand-footprint.

    That is understandable, but in this particular case, the distinction is moot: Eastern Daylight Savings Time is the Eastern Standard for a good chunk of the year, so ragging on him for not knowing that is unfair.

    But then why not just say "ET" or even just "Eastern"? It's less specific, sure, but that's better than being specific and incorrect, no?
  • Tre said:

    Not really, I should probably have just said the former to begin with since it would've circumvented this discussion in the first place.

    But then why not just say "ET" or even just "Eastern"? It's less specific, sure, but that's better than being specific and incorrect, no?

    Because I didn't really think it would matter before this whole thing suddenly became an issue? And again, when Spinor mentioned it in my stream thread was the first time I'd ever heard the term, so how would I even have known?

    That does indeed sound like a good day.

    Ugh, whatever fine, call the time zone whatever the fuck you want, it's not my problem

    I'm just not in a mood conducive to dealing with stubborn people at present

    oh my fucking god.

    I am not saying you're wrong, you are literally asking me to change something I said in the past. I'm sorry I'm not a time lord.

    I can just walk 30 yards to my Grandmother's sandbox, so I could play in it anytime.

    I used to do that all the time when I was younger.

    Naney said:

    I was actually going to say something about how I felt about daylight savings time earlier, but refrained because it was a bit off-point...

    In any case, everyone: Chill. This is a silly argument.

    I did not say that! I was expressing an opinion regarding something I already said. Can you please stop insulting me because I used the wrong timezone nomenclature?

    like i have had gay sex that was less gay than timezones

    Can you stop now? 

    I literally admitted I was wrong, I have no idea what more you could possibly want me to do.

    "The only facet of time recognized is velocity."

    Where is this from and does it actually mean anything.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    It is for me

    I just don't understand why 90% of the people who make this mistake have to go and be stubborn when it's pointed out to them instead of just saying "oh, my bad, I'll go correct it."

    But whatever, it's not my stream, and I'm not the one who's going to have to deal with the fact that I gave people the wrong time, so I guess I'll just drop it now.

    WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM

    I ADMITTED I WAS WRONG 

    I AM GOING TO JUST SAY "ET" IN THE FUTURE

    WHAT THE FUCK ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME

    LIKE DO YOU REALIZE YOU CAN'T EDIT TWEETS

    BECAUSE YOU CAN'T

  • it's from the liner notes to Peter Brotzmann's Machine Gun
  • I do not need this kind of stress before I am about to go audio-on in front of a live audience, however small it may be.

    Because nobody who will be tuning into the stream will know this either. As such, by using the incorrect terminology, Mojave has communicated his intent more efficiently than if he had been correct.


    As such, even though he is wrong, he is still right.


  • I fought the law,

    In a game of pong.

    First I had eight hours of nonstop busy busy, which alone is enough to wear me out, and I was just getting ready to leave when (five minutes before close) this bimbo comes in with her two moronic middle school-age sons wanting to make some labels. Try as I might, I simply could not hide the fact that I didn't want to deal with her bullshit right then. She complained about it to the manager, and when said manager told me about it I replied that I didn't care and she could die in a fire.

    The End.

    You know, I've never heard of you earnestly insulting someone before, I can honestly say it doesn't fit my mental image of you.

    For some reason the mental image of you saying that is hilarious, somehow.

    I have to be pushed pretty hard before I'll say something like that.

    The manager just said, "well, despite your malevolent thoughts, I wish you a good night." Then I left.
