@nicael willing to test... but you need to tell me how exactly ;p

@Shog9 You can hire me as your personal search assistant, I'm rather good at that.

@TimStone find the bit where I explained this bug then

Hold on, I have no idea what we're talking about, let me read up.

tl;dr: association bonus + sockpuppet + private beta == close anything you want for any reason.

Ah

user259867

7:11 PM

The bug could also be fixed by making some sort of decision about those two perpetual private betas.

@Shog9 hey, wut? first sock puppet and then assoc :D

@pizza beat me by a sec ;p

yeah, I got the sound right, not the spelling

user259867

Also, is that another 100MB gif loading?

simulmutational

7:13 PM

@tchrist That would imply addition is sentient.

I was completely wrong on both and yet y'all still got what I meant

point is, it doesn't matter whether you create the puppet or the bonus'd account first

@Shog9 :)

Q: Add support for .gifv format in chat onebox

Recently Imgur announced to drop the legacy GIF format with the new GIFV format. Why GIFV? It's lightweight Being a video format, it also allows more flexibility like not autoplaying or autoloading by default which .gif just disrespects. Oh, and you can pause it too. It supports streaming and ...

feature-request chat onebox

@Shog9 It was definitely on MSE, or you're not sure?

I have a puzzle!!! Guess, how many socks of mine you see there?

7:15 PM

@TimStone can't be completely sure

For all I know, i left it in a comment somewhere

@nicael seeing as you said 60+ yesterday... one can only guess 60+ :D

No, certainly less there :D

hmmm...

@nicael who's right? ;)

@Shog's right!!!! :D

7:17 PM

oh :(

i was close though! :)

@Shog9 Assuming I'm not imagining things I vaguely remember reading something along those lines as an answer on MSE, but I've been tripped up before when one of your coworkers later deletes the relevant question I'm thinking of and I think I've gone insane. |:

oh well

it won't save me any time now

@ᔕᖺᘎᕊ now i gunna try merging them!

(I mean, triggering the merge)

why?..

(never mind; I though you meant legitimately merge)

7:22 PM

@Shog9 lul, that's where?

never you mind...

@nicael where the sun doesn't shine

@nicael what r u planning...? ;)

So, @Shog9, is it safe to assume that @nicael isn't your favorite Stack Exchange user?

@Shog9 but I do now! :P

@AlexisKing wat are you sayin... I'm the most hated user ever! they even disdain clicking the suspension button!

Wow, he pounded that so many times it's surprising the branch didn't break yet!

While plausible, the Wiki Answers entry you reference has no sources itself; if you can dig up a reference to this phrase from the '50s that indicates it formerly held these connotations, it would improve this answer considerably. — Shog9 ♦ Aug 13 '12 at 23:34

O_O

@Braiam Shog9, asking the hard questions no one else will.

7:36 PM

@Braiam you're suppose to keep your head fairly still while working the triceps

@AlexisKing ... since 2013

hesoold

@SmokeDetector Well, that isn’t offensive in the context, but I don’t know how to train you appropriately, since I don’t expect you to be able to distinguish a use from a mention without serious NLP work.

@tchrist Smokey only trains based on titles, so it's not like it matters.

@SmokeDetector ignore

@hichris123 Post ignored; alerts about it will no longer be posted.

7:40 PM

@hichris123 Well, make it train on bodies too!

Straw poll time: if I run for SO mod election, would you vote for me?

@bjb568 You can see how that worked... chat.stackexchange.com/…

(the ones with "(body)")

@AlexisKing depends... primary or main election?

@hichris123 uh… looks great!

Because I'd vote for most people in the primary. ;)

votes for straw

7:42 PM

@hichris123 Haha, well then, I suppose I should ask about the main election in that case. xD

@bjb568 I know... bestest filter ever!

The bestest of alls!

@AlexisKing then that depends on who is running, since you can only choose 3.

Would anybody vote for me in the election?

@bjb568 I think I would just for the lulz.

7:43 PM

:D

I plead the 5th on this and all future polls.

Anybody else vote for me?

depends, what election is this?

SO election

@bjb568 Do you even have all the required badges?

7:49 PM

Yeah, I'd vote for you in the sooooooo election.

@AlexisKing Those silver ones? Of course.

Okay, then.

@bjb568 You have three more gold badges than I do! xD

Quick, let's all downvote him under 3k so he can't run

:o

@AlexisKing you're such a rep whore… :p

You still answer questions even!

Waitwaitwait…

> Also I sometimes do web stuffs but that's boring.

@bjb568 I'll be totally honest, I rep whored a little to get to 10k. :)

7:52 PM

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

After that, though, I've pretty much just answered Scheme questions. :D

Meh age 17. ur old

@AlexisKing Sure, but do you really want fluffy pouncy predators gold tag badges?

@AlexisKing Luckily I'm still learning and no sign of mental deterioration yet.

Aside from not being able to learn spanish very fast.

Go to somewhere they speak no English, only Spanish. I promise you’ll learn quick. You’ll learn even quicker if while there you date the natives.

@tchrist Do cats date?

7:56 PM

@tchrist the necessity makes it happen

@AlexisKing Nightly.

@tchrist meh

Ahah, I have discerned the impediment!

Hey, @Shog9, do I have any black marks or whatever those things are yet?

@Undo Next years April Fools: A side-scroller in which your account is running from @Shog9.

@bjb568 annotations? Yeah. You have like 2.

@bjb568 we'd have to shave you to make sure

Or maybe it's 0. I can't remember.

I'm pretty certain @thefuckingbot is a @nicael sock. :)

8:48 PM

@AlexisKing That sounds like my kind of bot...

has association bonus with only 1 account?

@hichris123 … is that… good?

@Roombatron5000 it's because @nicael is a 1337 h4x0r

@bjb568 yes / no / cancel

@thefuckingbot how are you chatting without a meta.SE account

8:49 PM

@hichris123 maybe

@Doorknob It probably got nuked and the chat thing hasn't synced yet

huh.

@Undo CACHING! :D

:3254660 I like bots. What can you do?

I also like bots.

8:50 PM

Hey uh... @AlexisKing uh... what... happened? thecurvature.com/2008/08/26/…

@hichris123 woah, I'm dead

@AlexisKing .... yeah...

Of course that's the first thing you think.

Welp @thefuckingbot is gone :(

@Doorknob Traitor! Imaginary internet points are all that matters.

@hichris123 On a tangential note, that story is disgusting. :/

Also kinda creepy that we share the same name. o.O

8:53 PM

@SantaClaus that's a good reaction. That said, I should have renamed myself :(

(that was an old name)

@SmokeDetector fp Needs editing.

Huh, @minitech only has 283 rep on Meta.SE? TIL.

@AstroCB Registered question as false positive and added title to Bayesian doctype 'good'.

@AlexisKing I perhaps closed the tab on that note. Sadly. And hoping that wasn't a true story.

@Doorknob :o

Hrm so @AlexisKing was also in a movie: imdb.com/name/nm5760457

@hichris123 That was a guy, tho

gah I missed that.

@AlexisKing is on Quora?! quora.com/Alexis-King

You’re running for moderator, @AlexisKing?

@hichris123 Not me! ...thankfully.

@minitech Probably, yeah.

8:57 PM

Woo!

Would you vote for me for mod, @minitech?

Hey @AlexisKing by any chance do you play softball?

@bjb568 Well, do you do LISP?

no

But I think it's kewl and might learn it!

@hichris123 No. Why are there so many people with my name? :X

@minitech I Scheme! Does that count? :)

8:58 PM

@AlexisKing I have no clue. maxpreps.com/athlete/alexis-king/KIde__TxEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/…

@AlexisKing Of course! I was just saying that bjb568 had to catch up to you first

hah!

@Roombatron5000 that was a hack obviously! but now if i am not mistaken, I don't have accounts with assocs anymore :( need to create...

How about lacrosse, @Alexis? ncsasports.org/womens-lacrosse-recruiting/mi/grand-haven/…

In fact, I do very little besides push buttons to make the lights on a screen do what I want. ;)

@AlexisKing How about photography?

@hichris123 stahp

Are you a professional Go player, @hichris123?

@AlexisKing is that a yes or no? :P

9:00 PM

@hichris123 It's a no. :P

@minitech Yes, I've played Go for 10+ years, also Swift.

Bleh. My birth name is even more common, apparently.

Surprisingly, a search for "Andrew Mylastname" OR "Andy Mylastname" returns only 105 results, despite the fact that I have a fairly common first name.

Some of them are actually me!

@hichris123 Prezi needs Flash Player 11.1 or better. Upgrade here.

@hichris123 I went by that name on SE until some time last year, actually...

Though even that was just a nickname.

@AlexisKing My next guess would be Alex then... but then I'd have to look up on pizza's thingy.

@hichris123 Nah, it's unrelated to my current name.

there went that idea.

hah, all the first/last name combinations I find on the web are about me... or someone that claims that I helped him through I don't remember...

9:11 PM

As a random side note, can I just say how lucky I am to be a part of the tech industry as a trans person? Like, woah. People out there suck, but most people in tech are pretty nice. :)

@AlexisKing okay found it. Still a nickname...

I'm assuming you want that (fairly) private @Alexis?

@hichris123 Yeah, probably.

It's not that hard to find if people go looking for it, but oh well. Such is the internet.

I think I figured out the md problem.

@AlexisKing yeah... although no one knows you're a dog!

@hichris123 ssshhhhh

Nah, unfortunately not.
