No. That is not in fact what they do with it. 04:27 <@riker> @Joanna fun fact: when you were talkign earlier about hte bot being down i had absolutely no clue who you were, i was barely awake and certainly not enough to parse the distinct username 04:27 <@Joanna> jonadab is ancient and afraid of change 04:27 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Elf Fem Cha), 280 points, T:1280, killed by a nearly deceased homunculus, while sleeping 04:27 [hdf-au] [xnh] Orcranger (Pri Hum Mal Law) killed Juiblex, on T:41913 04:27 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400474774440247317/832895079240695818/unknown.png 04:27 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400474774440247317/832895144222261248/unknown.png 04:27 <@riker> :) 04:28 <@Joanna> @riker i guess that's a danger with changing discord nicks often XD 04:28 <@Joanna> BISMILLAH NO 04:28 <@Joanna> we will not let you go 04:28 <@riker> i normally go by role colors, since this is the only real large server i'm even semi active in 04:28 <@riker> lmao aoei 04:29 Discord's usernames make Cthulhu blush. 04:29 <@riker> there's a very jonadab-esque person (jonadab, do you happen to be a czech guy named john in disguise?) over in that server who always complains about 32b's name 04:29 I have never been named John, so far as I recall. 04:29 <@Joanna> haha 04:29 I don't think I've ever been of Czech ethnicity either. 04:30 My high school Spanish teacher called me Raul, does that count? 04:31 <@Joanna> @riker my discord nick is symbolic: mama spicy has adopted me for OotC for this June 04:31 <@riker> ah, congratulations 04:31 <@riker> i have no clue if i'll even be active for june this yr lmao 04:32 If you were a lizard, you could be Joanna the Goanna. 04:32 <@riker> I know somebody who called me 'ricky' due to their inability to pronounce 'riker'? 04:32 <@Joanna> so im betraying teamsplat in epic fashion, but they might let me back in after June 04:33 Hmm, I'm guessing the -er was the part they had trouble with? 04:33 <@Joanna> i noticed luxidream pronounces your name on stream like reeker 04:33 <@Joanna> but im pretty sure it's pronounced riker 04:33 Could be a native speaker of something other than English. Most languages don't have that semi-vocalic R phoneme. 04:34 (The R at the beginning of the name, can be fudged with almost any rhotic consonant. But the one on the end of the name really can't.) 04:34 I mean, I would pronounce it like William T Riker's surname. 04:35 <@riker> yeah, this person was a native spanish speaker from mexico 04:35 <@riker> i had no issue with it I just thought it was funny 04:35 <@riker> and yeah it's pronounced like riker in star trek lol 04:36 Yeah, the Spanish R is often (depending on dialect) some kind of flap or tap or something. Which would not lend itself well to the -er 04:36 And yes, William T Riker is the one from ST:TNG. 04:36 Easily the most famous Riker. 04:37 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Orc Fem Cha) entered the Gnomish Mines, on T:3668 04:37 Though he will never be as famous as Picard. 04:37 Forever living in the great man's shadow. 04:37 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Orc Fem Cha) attained the rank of Trailblazer, on T:3749 04:38 <@riker> I believe this woman had a hard time with the the 'ker' actually, more than the 'r', 04:38 Picard: the only reason Americans have any clue how to pronounce "Jean Luc". 04:39 <@Joanna> LOL 04:39 <@riker> which was odd to me, since i'ts not like spanish doesn't have a hard c 04:39 Spanish has unvoiced velars, sure. 04:39 <@riker> querer' 04:40 <@riker> i have absolutely no clue what they're called nor any desire to learn. i just know how to speak (most of) the language at a decent-for-living-in-socal level lol 04:40 Heh.\ 04:40 <@riker> which, in my defense, is pretty decent 04:40 <@Joanna> linguists have a whole language designed just to designate phonemes 04:40 <@riker> i'm glad they're having fun aoei 04:41 <@Joanna> it's confusing as fuck 04:41 <@riker> :) 04:41 <@Joanna> but can be useful 04:41 <@Joanna> too 04:41 I don't actually speak Spanish. I had three years of it in high school, but this is in Ohio, so the textbooks claimed we were learning "Castillian" Spanish, in practice it was way closer to being Mexican Spanish, and after three years we still didn't know how to say "Donde esta el banyo". 04:41 <@Joanna> donde 04:41 <@Joanna> esta 04:41 <@Joanna> la bibliotecha 04:41 <@Joanna> mi amo t-bone 04:41 <@riker> why does everybody say that 04:41 <@riker> is that a line from something 04:41 <@Joanna> la aranga discotecha 04:42 <@Joanna> which riker? 04:42 <@riker> biblioteca 04:42 <@Joanna> jonadab's line or my quote from Community 04:42 Biblioteca is just library, I believe. 04:42 <@riker> no shit but like 04:42 <@riker> people always say "donde esta la biblioteca" even if they don't speak like any spanish 04:42 High school Spanish class is weird. 04:42 Teachers a bizarre subset of the language. 04:42 <@riker> yeah ok google confirms its from a show 04:43 <@Joanna> hahaha ok so childish gambino's rap involving that line is probably a nod to that fact 04:43 *Teaches 04:43 <@riker> oh that explains a lot 04:43 <@riker> since there's no way it would have spread from just a tv show quote ages ago 04:43 <@riker> not that quote from that show at least 04:43 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Orc Fem Cha) reached Mine Town, on T:4862 04:43 <@Joanna> yeah it was likely a thing before community 04:44 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Orc Fem Cha) entered a temple, on T:4908 04:44 <@riker> jonadab, tell me about it. one of the spanish teachers at my school is from illinois and speaks with a bastardized argentinian (which is a rather unique) accent 04:44 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Orc Fem Cha) eschewed atheism, by dropping 38 arrows on an altar, on T:4931 04:44 <@riker> she's also an objectively godawful teacher, which doesn't help her nigh-incomprehensibility 04:44 I used to know some poeple from Buenos Aires. 04:44 <@riker> the guy who learned spanish from being a dishwasher in an olive garden speaks better spanish than her ffs 04:44 But they were *previously* from Indiana, so they spoke perfect English to me. 04:45 <@Joanna> one of my best friends here is from Argentina 04:45 <@riker> lol 04:45 <@Joanna> this is just a tangentially relevant fact 04:45 <@Joanna> but she's great 04:45 <@riker> I have absolutely nothing against the people or accent or anthing like that 04:45 <@Joanna> we hang out and one time we raided the fleamarket 04:45 <@Joanna> i bought a whole wardrobe for about €100 04:45 <@Joanna> it was epic 04:46 <@riker> but it was just not the appropriate thing to be teaching when everybody else at this school has a mexican accent 04:46 <@riker> but it was just not the appropriate thing to be teaching when everybody else at this school has a mexican accent 04:46 <@Joanna> haha 04:46 <@Joanna> yea 04:46 <@riker> every time i go thrifting i just end up at the used bookstores 04:46 Heh. 04:46 <@Joanna> i need new clothes again soon tho 04:46 <@Joanna> i managed to rip my favourite pants somehow 04:46 <@Joanna> D: 04:46 Happens. 04:47 <@riker> clothes are for cowards, i just get arrested for public indecency 04:47 <@Joanna> hahahaha 04:47 Eh, sometimes you need to blend in with the locals. 04:47 When in Rome, and all that. 04:47 <@Joanna> i usually don my cloak of invis 04:47 <@Joanna> when going outside 04:47 When in the Midwest, it's a good idea to wear pants. 04:48 <@riker> went to in-n-out (fast food) today and saw a guy in neon orange booty shorts and a muscle top 04:48 <@riker> that's got to as close to naked as you can get 04:48 <@riker> *as you can get while still 'blending in' 04:48 <@Joanna> loooool 04:48 <@Joanna> was he hot tho 04:48 <@riker> not at all 04:49 <@Joanna> oh dear XD 04:49 He was probably fifty and flabby. 04:49 That, in my experience, is who dresses like that, mostly. 04:49 <@Joanna> thats like the beaches in germany 04:50 <@Joanna> cuz its totally fine here to go naked on the beach 04:50 <@Joanna> but its just old flabby dudes who do it 04:50 <@Joanna> i mean u gotta admire the confidence 04:50 <@Joanna> right? 04:50 <@riker> he was actually daydrinking bud light in public that he brought with him to a fast food place, and was probably like mid 30s 04:50 <@riker> not particularly life goals, i must confess 04:50 <@Joanna> lol 04:51 <@Joanna> i mean i day drink in the street sometimes 04:51 <@Joanna> that's not uncommon here 04:51 <@Joanna> but i dress properly at least 04:51 <@riker> i'm pretty sure i'ts illegal here 04:51 <@Joanna> in germany it's 100% legal everywhere to drink in public 04:51 <@Joanna> pretty much 04:51 Yeah, not so much in the Midwest. 04:52 <@riker> okay quick google says i'ts probably not illegal on in-n-out's property but like, I feel like you'd get kicked out really quirck if this wasn't outdoor seating 04:52 Technically, on private property it's illegal if you don't have the property owner's permission. 04:52 <@riker> idk if y'all have fast food places like this, but this is the kind of thing i mean 04:52 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400474774440247317/832901428699594772/unknown.png 04:53 <@riker> okay, so it's just illegal not just kick-out-able 04:53 <@Joanna> ohhhhh right yeah i see what 04:53 <@Joanna> you mean, yeah a lot of places would not take kindly to that here either LOL 04:53 <@riker> (that is a screenshot of google street view lmao) 04:53 <@riker> im just confused why he brought alcohol to eat fast food 04:54 In general, restaurants usually turn a blind eye to when you bring in food from off-premises and eat it at their place, but they don't _like_ it. 04:54 They often have official policies against it, which they can use to kick you out if you cause them any trouble. 04:54 <@riker> the strongest thing this place serves is weak coffee jonadab 04:54 old flabby dudes> presumably some of them are DDR vintage and grew up doing it... 04:54 <@riker> i don't think the 'external food' is the issue 04:54 <@riker> ::_ 04:54 <@riker> :) 04:55 Whether it's something they serve or not isn't usually relevant to the policy. 04:55 The fact that you didn't buy it from them, is the issue. 04:55 <@riker> fair 04:56 Although in the Midwest, a place without a liquor license might object to the alcohol on the grounds that it's not family-friendly. 04:56 That's a whole additional potential issue. 04:56 I suspect if you just sit quietly in your booth and don't bother anyone with it, they'll leave you alone 04:57 So, remember, always sneak in the same booze they sell 04:57 They will generally only make an issue of it if you give them reasons to do so. 04:57 <@riker> lol pinkbeast 04:58 <@riker> i will keep that in mind, sorted under 'wisdom & life lessons from my elders' 04:58 TBH I am not very rock-and-roll and only ever did that at the Helsinki Worldcon - Finnish booze prices being what they are - where I had a hipflask of healthful fruit beverage. (The fruit is sugar cane.) 04:58 <@riker> i'm like 95% sure sugar cane is not a fruit... wait, is it a vegetable? 04:59 <@riker> google tells me no i'ts just grass okay 04:59 Yeah, that's the joke, inasmuch as it's a joke :-) 04:59 If you grow it in a garden, it's a vegetable, regardless of the botanical category. 04:59 <@riker> :) 04:59 <@riker> lol jonadab 04:59 Vegetables can be fruits (tomato), berries (cucumber), roots (carrot), leaves (Spinach), whatever. 05:00 <@riker> the fabled vegetable meatballs, from the mythical meatball ree 05:00 <@riker> *tree 05:01 I've never seen a meatball tree. I did once see a TV special about spaghetti trees. 05:01 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Orc Fem Cha) changed form for the first time, becoming a wererat, on T:8386 05:01 I think this is a context thing (just as not all food is "organic", even if it is to an organic chemist) - if I say "fruit and vegetables", each object is either fruit or vegetable 05:01 <@riker> are you familiar with the children's song jonadab? 05:02 I am familiar with many children's songs. 05:02 <@riker> I believe there's one about a meatball rolling off the table, into the garden, and growing into a meatball tree :p 05:02 Hmm, part of that sounds familiar ("On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed"), but I don't remember anything about a meatball tree. 05:03 Maybe I never learned all the verses? 05:03 Dunno. 05:03 <@riker> the version I've heard, that song continues yeah 05:03 The version I heard, it ended with "So if you have spaghetti, all covered with cheese, hold onto your meatballs and don't ever sneeze." 05:04 <@riker> "it rolled off the table, and onto the floor, then my poor meatball, rolled out the door", "into a garden, and under a bush, soon my poor meatball, was nothing but mush", "the mush was as tasty, as meatball could be, then the next summer, it grew into a tree" 05:04 I think there are many versions, some of them printable 05:04 <@riker> that's all i remember but I think htere was a verse about the tree itself after 05:04 <@riker> yeah fair enough pinkbeast 05:04 Ok, the part about the mush being tasty is new to me. 05:04 Don't think I ever heard that part. 05:04 Or the part about the tree. 05:04 The part about rolling out into the garden and under a bush does sound familiar though. 05:05 The anatomical details of where you shot your teacher on top of Old Smokey tend not to be in the best possible taste 05:05 <@riker> are either of you familiar with the one about the climber falling off a mountain? 05:05 Haha, why do all children's songs end up having versions that involve violence against school faculty? 05:05 <@riker> "gory, gory, what a helluva way to die" lol 05:06 <@riker> I was introduced to that one at the age of 12 and I believe I was a bit young 05:06 "Joy to the World, the school burned down, and all, the teach, ers died!" 05:06 riker: I know that as "he jumped from forty thousand feet without a parachute" 05:06 Don't think I know that one. 05:06 <@riker> yeah, I think there's a versoin (or maybe i'm conflating it with another one) with a climber though 05:06 <@riker> since I specifically remember the line "a piton through his spleen" 05:07 <@riker> https://www.angio.net/~lukesos/Personal/ScratchBook/TidBits/Climbers_Song.html aha 05:07 Oh, I believe that, and that would scan nicely :-) 05:07 I don't think I've ever met a child who knows what a piton is. 05:07 <@riker> ^ nsfw I suppose 05:07 Or a spleen for that matter. 05:07 <@riker> lmao, I was aware of both I believe 05:07 These are pretty ordinary words 05:08 <@riker> assuming i'm correct in the pitons being the stakes you stick into the face 05:08 * Pinkbeast blinked there but no, the rockface 05:08 <@riker> another one we sang was the guy with the sausage maker who turned the neighborhood pets into sausage 05:08 <@riker> https://www.kididdles.com/lyrics/j010.html this one i htink 05:08 That's a bit dark. 05:09 <@riker> but I know it as 'verbeck' not 'rebeck' 05:09 <@riker> oh absolutely 05:09 riker: That's got to be more original, the one about the parachutist only had about two verses 05:09 (Remember, if at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not the hobby for you) 05:09 <@riker> I knew the climber one w/ 4 i believe. that one seems to add more 05:09 [hdf-eu] [nh370] tromix (Pri Hum Mal Cha) had Sting bestowed upon him by Anhur, on T:689 05:10 I knew Deck the Halls with Gasoline. 05:10 -!- tacco\unfoog has joined #hardfought 05:10 Which, again, is about destroying the school, something all children dream of. 05:10 <@riker> not familiar with that one, lol 05:10 <@riker> I can guess the general ieda 05:11 Deck the Halls with gasoline / fa lalalala lalalala / light a match and watch it gleam / fa lalalala lalalala / watch the school burn down to ashes / fa lalalala lalalala / Now aren't you glad you played with matches / fa lalalala lalalala 05:12 <@riker> that's more creative than i expectedactually 05:12 I can't see how "gasoline" scans there 05:12 <@riker> gas-o-li-ine 05:12 ^ 05:12 <@riker> extend it, I think 05:12 You sing the "line" as two syllables, "lee-een". 05:13 Bah, "jellied petrol" 05:13 That would also work. 05:13 But you'd have to know what petrol is, which nobody did when I was a kid, because no internet. 05:13 These days, kids have more international contact, so they might. 05:13 [hdf-eu] [nh370] tromix (Pri Hum Mal Cha), 500 points, T:1337, killed by a wounded wererat 05:14 I mean, we knew what "gasoline" was, and it wasn't from American TV because we didn't have one. 05:15 Yeah, we knew what gasoline was too, even though nobody ever actually calls it that (it's just "gas" here). 05:15 <@riker> I don't think the version holds quite true for american kids 05:15 <@riker> I don't konw how old I was when I learned y'all call gasoline 'petrol', but I'm not sure if the avg 8-10 year old would know 05:16 Back in the eighties, we definitely didn't know. I never heard of it until I reached college and got internet access. 05:16 "petrol" that is. 05:16 We knew what "the boot" of a car was, and "water closet", and a couple of other famous British-isms. But only a spare handful. 05:17 Imagine my disappointment when I found out Brits don't actually call it the "water closet" any more. 05:17 I don't remember being surprised by any save the specifically anatomical (eg the first time I heard "fanny pack" I thought it meant a small package of tampons) 05:18 jonadab: If I can ask... how many books did you grow up with? 05:18 <@riker> do y'all ever have fanny packs as an item over there? 05:18 <@riker> they're not super common here anymore lol 05:18 Oh, we had books. I theoretically should've known "torch", for instance, from the Narnia books. 05:19 Right, but how many? 05:19 I mean, we visited the public library weekly? 05:19 This isn't something I can put a number on. 05:20 <@riker> gonna sleep now, peace y'all o/ 05:21 Incidentally, "fanny" was originally "Fanny", short for "Frances". Its other meanings all derive from that. 05:21 Indeed. 05:21 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Ran Orc Fem Cha), 25685 points, T:11467, killed by a slightly wounded warhorse 05:21 So which part of the anatomy you think it means, basically is a function of exactly *how* dirty-minded your ancestors were. 05:22 [hdf-us] [nh370] ligang (Pri Hum Fem Neu) performed her first genocide (class L), on T:25957 05:22 Though I've never heard of "fannies" in the plural, so I guess everyone skipped that step. 05:23 [hdf-us] [nh370] ligang (Pri Hum Fem Neu) genocided class h, on T:25962 05:23 how dirty-minded> I think "Fanny Hill" established the consensus sense here. 05:24 Huh. I've never heard of that person before. 05:24 I would've said the most famous Fanny was Fanny Crosby. 05:26 It's the protagonist of a novel which was the subject of a famous obscenity trial 05:26 -!- eLtMosen has joined #hardfought 05:26 -!- eLtMosen has quit [Changing host] 05:26 -!- eLtMosen has joined #hardfought 05:27 Yes, I looked it up. 05:27 Not sure if I didn't know about it because I'm sheltered, or if the news just didn't make its way across the pond. 05:27 Could be either. 05:28 [hdf-eu] [nh370] chip (Mon Hum Mal Cha), 566723 points, T:45406, petrified by tasting cockatrice meat 05:29 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Pri Hum Fem Cha), 594 points, T:1256, killed by an uninjured giant ant 05:31 [hdf-eu] [un] Singhend (Val Hum Fem Law) genocided master mind flayers dungeon wide on T:31783 05:33 Or both? It was certainly common knowledge here, the subject of newspaper cartoons and the like. 05:33 [hdf-eu] [un] Singhend (Val Hum Fem Law) genocided demiliches dungeon wide on T:31784 05:38 [hdf-us] [nh370] Spammailer90 (Val Hum Fem Law) attained the rank of Woman-at-arms, on T:16204 05:40 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Wiz Orc Fem Cha) reached Mine Town, on T:2853 05:42 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Wiz Orc Fem Cha) entered a temple, on T:3430 05:44 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Wiz Orc Fem Cha) permanently converted to lawful, on T:3698 05:45 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Wiz Orc Fem Law), 4107 points, T:3699, quit 05:54 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Cav Dwa Mal Law) attained the rank of Wanderer, on T:3033 05:55 [hdf-us] [nh370] Spammailer90 (Val Hum Fem Law) completed Sokoban, on T:16382 05:55 [hdf-eu] [nh370] blanda (Cav Dwa Mal Law), 1884 points, T:3393, burned by a tower of flame 06:01 [hdf-eu] [nh370] chip (Mon Hum Mal Cha) reached Mine Town, on T:2655 06:04 [hdf-eu] [nh370] tromix (Pri Hum Mal Cha), 540 points, T:1270, killed by a wounded giant bat 06:06
