@zigi I can apologise for the latter, but what's wrong with the former?

zigi

just think about it, if I really am who I tell you I am you would go against your believes, and basically that's what you are doing.

@PiedPiper nice pictures you have in your profile, kudos

Jan Dvorak

You are giving me conflicting information about who you are

none of which are correct

Bart

.... this discussion is still going on? Wow.

@zigi :)

zigi

@JanDvorak again contradicting yourself

Jan Dvorak

@zigi I'm not

zigi

@JanDvorak do you consider yourself as someone who is partially knowledgeable about science

Jan Dvorak

@zigi define "partially knowledgeable", "science"

zigi

partially knowledgeable = having fundamental knowledge about the workings of the nature surrounding us
science = testable explanations and predications about the universe

Jan Dvorak

9:24 AM

define "fundamental knowledge"

zigi

fundamental knowledge = important or essential, the basic nature of things or the most important element upon other things depend on

Jan Dvorak

then yes

zigi

and what do you use as a method for understanding something you really can't see with bare eye or perceive using your personal knowledge about it

Jan Dvorak

I do consider myself as someone who has important or essential knowledge, the basic nature of things or the most important element upon other things depend on, about the workings of the nature surrounding us about testable explanations and predications about the universe

zigi

another thing I wanted to say too is the following, you said that life is happier if you know how things have started, right?

but what is happy without sad, what is laughter without sorrow

Jan Dvorak

9:30 AM

ah, the yin-yang theory

zigi

if I am a real person and die and ascend to heaven, I would be bored out of my mind doing everyday what I want to do since no one would impose anything on me

same way if I go to hell

I will start enjoying the pain

and at some point it would become dullness

and dullness is worse than pain

do you get me Marek?

maybe you should consider grooming yourself before confessing next time

zigi

@JanDvorak it is not a theory is is what I have experienced while living

Jan Dvorak

@zigi do you appreciate having two hands? Have you ever had less than two?

zigi

9:40 AM

and if we are going to use theory, then Jehovah's Witnesses are also theoretical

@JanDvorak yes

I have had

I can also do many things that I do with my hands with my feet

What is your point, actually you don't have to tell me because I already know, but please do tell the others

I can tell them for you, but then I would be proclaimed evil once more

@Bart I think we finished

Bart

Brown

zigi

what about it?

Jan Dvorak

My point is that you don't need to see bad to appreciate good.

zigi

@JanDvorak how do you define good?

Jan Dvorak

generally or ultimately beneficial

zigi

9:52 AM

so is throwing a man in front of a train to save 200 people generally good?

Jan Dvorak

I'd rather say it's generally beneficial if I refrain from answering that and GTFO.

zigi

are you intimidated by me that you want me to scram?

Jan Dvorak

I'd rather say - no matter how I answer, you are going to call me immoral.

zigi

you are not immoral

you just need to think for yourself more and release yourself from hatred and anger

cause I can feel something in your past made you protective

Jan Dvorak

I would say that both throwing and not throwing are either acceptable or unacceptable depending on the intentions. As for the outcome, both options are unwelcome, but not throwing is generally more unwelcome.

Anyway, GTG. Time to throw some people under a train hoping that it will save more lives in the long run.

(sarcasm)

zigi

9:58 AM

You did it to me in the JS room but I forgive you

because that is the right way

Bart

@JanDvorak throw them under the morning train each day and you should be good to go. Less harmful that way as well.

zigi

@Bart how can you have a video of sexual activity after total hip atrophy on your website :D

Bart

Why shouldn't I @zigi?

zigi

Haha it is funny

totally against Jan Dvorak's morals

maybe God didn't want people to have sex, that's why he made their legs have atrophy and now people are playing God, how disrespectful

procreating although they have been punished

Shadow Wizard

10:15 AM

@zigi can't help intervening, but why exactly leg atrophy would prevent one from having sex??

zigi

low self esteem

reduced movement

Jesus is not God

there is a difference

Shadow Wizard

@JanDvorak yay! last flag was cast by me! :D

Infinite Recursion

No, I came back to this chat tab after hours, just surprised by the levels of patience you both have to endure such smalltalk for hours...carry on guys...don't let me interrupt this religious discussion

@JanDvorak "non-chemical methods of doing away with lions in your residense." - very funny

zigi

10:42 AM

@InfiniteRecursion that's not a smalltalk

it's something important and I am trying to prove a point but Jan is Resilient

Infinite Recursion

@zigi hmm...maybe not for you guys. Opinions differ.

zigi

@InfiniteRecursion what is small about it

it has been 2 hours

and it's important

Infinite Recursion

thinks if something needs so much effort to be proved, maybe it's not worth proving at all...socrates said something like that...but she can't remember the exact source now

zigi

@InfiniteRecursion wrong

Unihedron

(secretly agrees with @InfiniteRecursion but doesn't dare to say it)

Shadow Wizard

10:46 AM

@zigi people here in this chat are too used to real smalltalk, I doubt you'll find many willing to take part in bigtalks. Jan is probably an exception.

Infinite Recursion

Hi @bluefeet. Our avatars are looking at each other :)

ahh...not anymore :( now the heads are in opposite directions

Unihedron

:( Once she says something it will be fixed :o

Shadow Wizard

yup, @Unihedron, but now you will be in the middle

whoops, me too

bluefeet

@InfiniteRecursion sorry, distracted :)

Unihedron

bluefeet

10:52 AM

not sure what I'm distracted with at 3:50am

Shadow Wizard

@bluefeet omg, why aren't you sleeping?!

Unihedron

@bluefeet go to sleep!

Shadow Wizard

hurry @Unihedron say something!

bluefeet

I did sleep but I woke up an hour ago

Shadow Wizard

@bluefeet what made you wake up in 2:50? I did too, because my 1.5 y/o son started crying... what's your excuse? ;)

Unihedron

My summer break allows me to stay up till 4. :D

@bluefeet you mean SO moderation? :D

Unihedron

@bluefeet good, pls accept my obsolete comment flagz

bluefeet

@ShadowWizard no, thankfully not that "work"

Shadow Wizard

10:57 AM

@bluefeet oh, that's a relief!

bluefeet

@Unihedron decline them all!!!!

Shadow Wizard

Anyway, was able to take a nice screenshot.... ready... set...

@JanDvorak I'm ignoring @InfiniteRecursion

Jan Dvorak

@bluefeet why?

bluefeet

@JanDvorak it's early and I just feel like it :)

@JanDvorak obviously, he's just an inferior chicken

And now they're looking at me

Q: Are upvotes on comments lost, if a question is removed?

E.g I got 5 upvotes on a comment I left on a question that was removed, does this mean I lost the votes?

Thanks @Unihedron. I knew it! @Bart and @zigi look good together :)

zigi

@ShadowWizard I went lunching

That's cause I am a hipster

didn't you know that jesus is a hipster

He is so hip that he even liked Nine Inch Nails before they were even a band

Infinite Recursion

hopes @Bart feels the same in hipster company

zigi

as you can see I am also a hipster

that's why you can conclude I am Jesus

that picture is just for fun

I usually have normal pictures

Infinite Recursion

not interested. Thank god for sparing tavern

no

I am not gonna show you

12:56 PM

show us what?

zigi

any pictures

don't worry

so what's stopping people from making 5 sock accounts and run custom scripts with cron that upvoat them?

ThiefMaster

We are. And so are the automated scripts that detect vote abuse.

The best part about UDP jokes is that nobody cares if you get them. — Cameron Jul 13 '12 at 16:49

zigi

haha

that's why TCP jokes are irritating

because you have to ask people if they have understood them and explain it to them

Jason C

I love how this proves that EVERYONE gets sidetracked (from real work at overflow or superuser) by the 'somewhat related but definitely from a different stack exchange site' side panel. Don't get me wrong, though; I love how the next generation of coders will have a substantial appreciation of english and UX!!! — lol Feb 19 at 21:15

zigi

true

Jan Dvorak

bak, sry

zigi

hi again

I was promised free snacks

Shadow Wizard

1:24 PM

@zigi why? you have 5 socks upvoting your posts?

zigi

no but maybe I know some people that do, what is it to you?

Bart

General concern for the site and a deep seeded hatred of cheaters?

Shadow Wizard

@zigi so if you know about them and not reporting, you're taking active part in harming the site, that's all.

zigi

@ShadowWizard wow, I feel like I am being threatened here

maybe such people are doing it for good, to make a point

@JanDvorak, to be honest, it's a bit like this nowadays:

Jan Dvorak

1:39 PM

@zigi I would take the bread

zigi

@JanDvorak I would take the fish and give it to the people that need it most, additionally if I have to make the choice to throw someone to save 200 people, I think the right answer, well at least to me is to jump myself

so you were wrong

Jan Dvorak

@zigi you don't have the option to jump yourself

zigi

hah how so? I have the option to throw someone

if I can move to throw someone I can jump myself

think a bit out of the box

Santa Claus

Why are we throwing people?

Jan Dvorak

the original experiment involves a lever and not nearly enough time to reach the destination

@SantaClaus Zigi wants me to choose between killing one and 200 people

Bart

1:47 PM

@JanDvorak how about you just flag for moderator attention and let them handle it?

2

Santa Claus

@JanDvorak Well, either way you'll end up on the naughty list.

zigi

@Bart so hasty

bluefeet

@Bart I can only imagine the meta complaints if we acted on that flag :)

zigi

how is that offensive?

@bluefeet you should expect people coming to your house to stalk you and ask you why you did that decision, you would be responsible :D

Bart

@bluefeet it would be one of the situations in which a Godwin might be justifiable though. :p

Jan Dvorak

1:49 PM

@Bart it never is

@Bart as in, let mods throw Zigi under a train and save the lives of ours?

Infinite Recursion

Hi @unihedron :)

zigi

I said I am gonna jump myself and redeem your sins

so if they ban me it would be for your pleasure

I am ready to make that sacrifice

Bart

@JanDvorak I'll let them decide what the right thing to do is. I voted for @bluefeet so I could stop thinking for myself. Live has never been this simple.

Infinite Recursion

Wow...looks like I arrived right on time...

Please jump @zigi

Unihedron

@InfiniteRecursion 'allo :)

@zigi wait .... getting banned involves jumping in front of trains now? Stack Overflow has gotten serious when I didn't look.

zigi

no but I told Jan Dvorak the proper answer to throwing a person in front of a train to save 200 people is that I would jump myself
