Morning

Mornin'

haha you again :D

lols :P

:P

crappy title, typo question, two upvotes within six minutes. What is wrong with this world?

7:46 AM

hey Jan

So how many votes from a single user to another user in a certain amount of times are necessary to trigger the reverse upvote trigger

that's secret

hey, it's cupcake

@JanDvorak how so?

user163250

Hola.

user163250

@zigi I've heard that it doesn't kick in until you do at least 10 downvotes, so go ahead and have at it.

@zigi I can't rule out that if some of upvote waves have been reversed, any single further votes between those users will be prevented

7:52 AM

They do understand it could be tested by someone crazy

user163250

Oh, are we talking about upvotes?

@JanDvorak yes that's easy to understand

user163250

I heard that it doesn't kick in until you've upvoted someone 20 times, so go ahead and have at it.

no but I mean, look guys, what if someone has 5 socket profiles, and makes a random script that each of those profiles upvotes him using cron on different days and times

user163250

@JanDvorak do you know how to gain access to the JavaScript chat room?

7:54 AM

@Cupcake are you blocked?

user163250

@JanDvorak no, but the room is locked, isn't it?

just come

user163250

Like, I can't just waltz in and start dropping cupcakes, can I?

you can

user163250

Hmmm, weird.

7:55 AM

our bot will grant you access automagically

user163250

@zigi no one knows the details of the serial voting algorithm.

user163250

No one other than SE employees.

user163250

Not even community mods know the details.

Haha

that's good, then it could be exploited

user163250

Yes...indeed...

7:56 AM

we shouldn't be in gallery mode ATM, though. Hold on...

Hm, well it's really nice to test someone's vulnerability, that way you make them stronger

if the site starts crashing soon, do note that it's not me and I take no responsibility

:D

huh... according to the settings panel we are public access

@JanDvorak yes, I can access

@JanDvorak it works, nm.

7:59 AM

what if someone does a DDoS on SO and makes a QueueOverflow

@zigi Don't. Period.

@JanDvorak don't what?

user163250

Wow, this conversation is really awkward.

@Cupcake how so

I just have strange ideas, that's all

user163250

Oh yeah, no, not awkward at all.

[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword detected: Ex-L0ve vashikaran solution +91 9501244448 on scifi.stackexchange.com

wow. A new site

user163250

@SmokeDetector SPAM

user163250

@JanDvorak new site?

@Cupcake for Baba to come to

user163250

@JanDvorak ah.

8:02 AM

well, baba still hasn't shown up on Hinduism.SE, currently in beta

wait, no, he's been there once before

I have a friend who's nick is also baba

@JanDvorak who?

@zigi Baba

depends which baba

I wonder if someone starts commenting on baba spams on Hinduism SE and start negating claims

8:04 AM

cause my friend baba is bulgarian and baba = grandma

and I guess baba in other languages = father

@DroidDev interesting idea, can you give me a link

user163250

@zigi Baba is father in Mandarin Chinese.

In india, baba=someone elder(just like grandfather) and also baba=someone with lot of spiritual powers

@zigi for now, I haven't seen any baba spam on HinduismSE, so sorry, I can't for now. :(

ok contact me if you need help

I like disproving people

cause I dislike ignorance

and illogical argumentation

I like to question life, religion and belief

@zigi then all the religious sites on SE and their respective chat rooms are really the place for you to be

I am gonna waste too much time

8:07 AM

you'll be getting lot of answers

@zigi oh! speaking of which...

I really like funny people telling me that I think I know everything but I no nothing because there are powers I can't look beyond

@DroidDev yes

I have to deliver a build of my app today, and what I am really doing is chatting on MSE, finding questions to flag on SO. My god, this site is really addictive

@zigi what do you think about the argumentation at jw.org?

I think religion has a fundamental problem because people study some stories instead of investing their time in more helping

the good ways have to be learnt through experience and control rather then only reading

same thing for driving cars

you can read 1000 pages about how to drive properly but a guy who drove 30 hours without reading them all would be better

we do practice preaching

8:11 AM

@zigi just to argue, he won't be able to identify many road signs :P

necromancer attempt? Should the downvotes begin? meta.stackexchange.com/a/238074/194047

@DroidDev how do people in India cope with it without road signs most of the time and they are perfectly fine?

@zigi they drive at the speed of crawl

Additionally the instructor can tell you what is what while driving

and you can learn the most useful signs first

user163250

@JanDvorak I don't have enough rep there to just start dishing out downvotes liberally.

8:14 AM

when a child learns to speak you don't start it off with grammar and words like procrastination and agglomeration and prejudice etc.

@zigi there are new developments and lot of road signs, but if there aren't many, then they ask someone else for help, believe them and follow them.

you start by the simple things, but since we are expected to be adults and used to walls and walls of black and white text

and they get to their destinations most of the times

everybody has to be bored out of their minds

What I am trying to convey here is that I may not be christian, muslim, jewish, ateist, agnostic or whatnot but I can still be a good person

> perhaps you'd be more at home on Yahoo! Answers: many creatures without any semblance of a brain have managed to use that site successfully.

8:16 AM

if I have the intention to change the world and know that helping the ones around me would help me

That answer....

@JanDvorak that talks for a great UI

:D

what I don't like about religion is that it takes too much of my time

that I can use to enjoy my life

"you should use Yahoo Answers" - I think we have a new insult

because I enjoy it without religion

and something to tell me that I am wrong

enough people tell me already I am because they have some personal issues

You can enjoy it even more when you know who created the things that you admire

8:18 AM

@JanDvorak yes, physics

that's why I read about it

@zigi Nope

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: QUERY ON USING EQUATIONS FOR EXCEL 2010 on superuser.com

@JanDvorak what are you trying to say Jan

are you sure you are not brainwashed by your relatives?

talking about enjoying life @zigi do you know about happiest person on earth?

Matthieu Ricard

Matthieu Ricard (Nepali: माथ्यु रिका born 15 February 1946) is a French Buddhist monk who resides at Shechen Tennyi Dargyeling Monastery in Nepal. Born in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie, France, he is the son of the late Jean-François Revel (born Jean-François Ricard), a renowned French philosopher. His mother is the lyrical abstractionist painter Yahne Le Toumelin. Matthieu Ricard grew up among the personalities and ideas of French intellectual circles. He worked for a Ph.D. degree in molecular genetics at the Pasteur Institute under French Nobel Laureate François Jacob. After completing his doctoral thesis...

@DroidDev yes, me :)

8:19 AM

@zigi I'm not talking about reproduction, but about the first few specimen of each species

@JanDvorak yes they were formed as a singular cell organisms which were created from a mix of amino-acids

@zigi ... of each species

which were bubbling in the sulfury waters for many years before they can become what they are

single-celled organisms don't readily evolve into multicellular ones

zo.utexas.edu/faculty/antisense/tree.pdf

please educate yourself

8:22 AM

excerpt?

sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140125172414.htm

@zigi nice image, but genetic similarity doesn't imply origin

multicellular organisms are made of aggregation of unicellular with the purpose of co-existential gains

Multicellularity could have been achieved numerous times based on the premise that selection acts on phenotypes and how well certain combinations of traits work. In other words, even if cells adhere together using different mechanisms, or via different developmental pathways

 if the results are cooperative aggregations of cells that function well and thus are able to survive better and, critically, produce more offspring than their unicellular counterparts, then these various evolutionary pathways could all be possible

sure, that's the theory

how stereotypical, of a religious person to say

8:25 AM

ad hominem

so why is something that has more proof formed into a theory worse than some believe from mouth to mouth?

re-written books and stories

you can have arbitrarily little proof for something simply by not paying attention

and fossils don't really demonstrate smooth changes from one species to another

ok, can you give me a way I can feel happier and the way things were invented

@JanDvorak so why was I born with 6 fingers on my feet instead of 5?

am I the devils creation?

@zigi ask your mother and aunt

my mom is a doctor my aunt is a nurse

they have examined it and it's called Polydactyly

I feel like X-Men

haha :D

8:29 AM

congratulations, you are officially no longer homo sapiens and you may not breed with us

lol

meanwhile, I am just reading previous messages, where we started from, and where we are right now...

@DroidDev I have the tendency to do that when I talk with people

excuse me if I have created some nuisance

unless you still call yourself a human, in which case you've only proven intra-species mutations can happen. Polydactyly isn't a beneficial mutation, BTW

Ooh, ooh, are we doing religious debates now? Fair enough I guess, as long as we all realize we are all Shog's children.

8:31 AM

@zigi what...?? Leave the real topic and get to something else :P

in fact, social pressure ensures that even mutations that would be beneficial aren't

@JanDvorak well I swim better, additionally I have a really long toungue, like 7-8cm or smth

@JanDvorak for example?

@zigi so... are you a fish?

Actually I am

I am born in 3rd of March

which makes me Pisces star sign

@zigi born with three arms? Will be cut off

8:32 AM

@zigi but then again, you don't believe in that right??

... someone rapidly diverged from the scientific path ... star signs

@DroidDev not really

I was just kidding :D

but it makes the conversation more spicy

My father is also color blind

so he can see in the dark really well

I on the other hand am not

but for some reason I can see colors pretty well

@JanDvorak hm well why would it be cut off if you can use it?

@zigi that third eye? You might be more resilient to eye-damaging injuries, but you're still a freak and you won't have sex.

@Bart my Den is clear for now if you want to hide away in a corner :D

@JanDvorak but I had already

8:35 AM

@zigi well, you can slap the doctors 18 years later with the remaining two

haha

why wouldn't I have sex?

@ShadowWizard Thanks :) But I'll go grab a coffee downstairs, assuming that this religious debate will be settled with both parties agreeing on a final outcome within 30 minutes.

what's stopping me

@zigi hands don't count

SPAM, btw meta.stackexchange.com/questions/238075/…

@Bart lol, religious debates got a nasty habit of spanning thousands of years

and of course without any agreement

8:36 AM

So here I am, trying to say that I am a bit evolved and people are calling me freaks

that's is so 16th century

I would have burnt on a stick by now

@Bart it's most likely that either Zigi has to leave to school or I declare his responses as nonsensical and leave

@zigi I think you are just trying to keep the debate going :P

@JanDvorak man I am almost 25, what school?

@zigi sorry to break it to you, but... people still do that

so you're 24

8:37 AM

yes

@zigi sorry; didn't know you already finished elementary school

well I am not reading any cookish books telling me how life was created by some guy who was able to fool people 500 years ago

why was Jesus able to make wine then but don't appear and start working to make wine for everyone

Jesus walked the earth 2ky ago, and the mankind is more like 5k7 or so

Infinite Recursion

what is religious about this debate? o_O

@zigi he might in the future

8:39 AM

@JanDvorak how do you know my child that I am not him ;)

even if you doubt me I might still be, so be careful

@zigi I don't think Jesus has internet access ATM.

:)

besides, he knows how to behave

@InfiniteRecursion I see words like Jesus flying around so...

maybe I just want to blend in to not rise any suspicions, that's why I don't do miracles and make stupid arguments on the internet so people know me I am one of them

I am jewish so

:)

you never know

what I am trying to say is that many people have augmented my words through those walls of black and white letters

you see it constantly, it happens in the JS room

you see how words are brought out of context

8:43 AM

A jew, a shadow and a pair of glasses walk into a Tavern .... something something punchline

Zigi only claims he's a jew

Infinite Recursion

@ShadowWizard: Yes, I scrolled up and saw Jesus and Jon are having a religious conversation about school, life, fingers, toes...am feeling enlightened now...

@JanDvorak I am from jewish ancestry, I am not jewish by religion

I'm pretty confident that there are other regular visitors of this establishment who can take that role in my yet to be written joke @JanDvorak.

@zigi Jesus would never create a ton of duplicate accounts and post offensive non-answers to some guy's questions

8:44 AM

I'm Jew too - was born this way

@JanDvorak why do you think I have?

It is the people with darkness in their hearts

@zigi either that, or a bunch of your namesakes did

@JanDvorak you know why Jesus never worries about his digital data?

the envy eats them and the abyss slowly swallows them while they ignorantly live their vegetative lives

@Bart I know that joke, don't worry

8:46 AM

@Bart exactly

why should I?

Dammit. Ah well, coffee it is

even if I was God, Jesus or the holy spirit

you would never believe me so why should I try to convince you?

this only shows you are not faithful because you question me

ad hominem

don't be angry my child

the book tells you of the ways of cleansing your soul

now go and scourge yourself

to redeem your sins

I am enjoying this, actually

8:49 AM

אתה הילד שלי ואני סולח

hey, that's hebrew. Should I flag it?

well if you want me to flag your latin?

I am just showing you the proper words

@JanDvorak how can you be sure how would Jesus Behave

isn't that going to be a disappointment to you if he doesn't fulfil your expectations?

@zigi There are historical records of him

because people are different and he cannot fulfil everyone's expectations in our spoiled nowadays world

where brother is killing another from a different mother

people bombing, weapons of mass destruction

semites killing semites

slavs killing slavs

where, what?

hm it must have magically changed

that is the power of the holiness you know

Nope. That's the power of a two-minute editing window

8:54 AM

@JanDvorak which was granted by your lord

as an idea to the developers

where do you think ideas come from

you are just a mere organism like all the rest of the animals, your lord supplies them to you

@zigi well, the idea of war comes from Satan

There are things much older than you can imagine

@zigi Am ha'aretz?

I am talking about Ahriman

about whom?

8:56 AM

it's so old you haven't even heard it

but that's ok, you are a child of the young land

Ahriman is like a worm, associated with darknes and old age

so, tell me, where should I learn more about your ways?

I might be Oromazdes

or Ahriman

you have no way of knowing

This is one of the first cultures

Well, if you don't know who you are, why should I care?

I know who I am

you have to find out for yourself

again, why should I care?

8:59 AM

Persians, evolved between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates

@JanDvorak if you want to live in an ignorant bliss you should not anyway

I am trying to enlighten you
