2:00 AM

This is like unto Homeric epic: Into the places of darkness and disrepute, upon the world called Waldik, enter the two champions Madrak and Typhon. Sent by Thoth Hermes Trismegistus to steal a glove of singular potency, they are come to do battle with the guardian of that glove.

@AndrewT. If that happens, I'll join back in :/

The guardian is Cerberus.

Hmm

Doesn't only one person have to withdraw?

yes

I didn't follow the rep count, so yeah

You have the lowest candidate score tho.

Now, now: let’s not be afingerpokin.

2:02 AM

@bjb568 it's by rep

I'm must saying…

on the other hand, is it possible for high rep user to nominate himself just before it ends?

… that you probably won't make it past the primaries if you make it in to them.

@bjb568 If you didn't edit that, I would've kept my star

@AndrewT. cf. Jeremy

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title, offensive title detected: WHAT THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU WANT by Dingo Dingo on askubuntu.com

@SmokeDetector tpu

@Doorknob Blacklisted user and registered question as true positive: added title to the Bayesian doctype 'bad'.

damn, I just flagged that as spam as a reflex action

Tsk.

user259867

@James close enough

2:16 AM

I think the rule is (spam+offensive) == 6, not spam == 6 || offensive == 6.

But don’t take that as gospel.

I hope not.

Why can’t they make a mouse that knows which hand I’ve grabbed it with and behaves accordingly?

More that I didn't even think about what I was doing, I just flagged as spam because it came from smokey

I actively try to rid my brain of any information that would be useful for that prompt.

wikis harry potter

Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by the British author J. K. Rowling. The series chronicles the adventures of a young wizard, Harry Potter, the titular character, and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main story arc concerns Harry's quest to overcome the Dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who aims to become immortal, conquer the wizarding world, subjugate non-magical people, and destroy all those who stand in his way, especially Harry Potter. Since the release of the first novel, Harry Potter...

@bjb568 Now I'm curious: why?

Same reason I actively try to not remember people's names. I have better things to do.

@AstroCB Is that a request or a warning?

@tchrist Take it as you wish.

I always do.

@bjb568 It'd be one thing if it attacked a specific issue and killed it with meticulous analysis. Instead, it's a shallow answer to an overly broad question.
