I remember LanguageLog and how those linguists kept saying ''New untold sentences are being created everyday''.

The only recent downvoted posts are from two confused friends.

Quick question, is it by design that downvotes remove rep on this site? I can't seem to downvote posts (i.e., to indicate disagreement) anymore.

And only -9.

This is kind of weird because other meta sites don't seem to work this way.

@jrh Downvotes on answers?

Yeah.

yeah

Yeah

Yes

And per site meta don't work this way, yes.

What's the reasoning behind DV's affecting rep, if I may ask?

Now that has a mysterious reason.

which means I have no idea.

If DV's on meta represent disagreement, is there a good reason for only allowing me to disagree a few times before proposing stuff?

I guess they were too meh to make sure the meta.SE system is like the per site metas.

There have been proposals to change this, esp. after the highly downvoted PSA.

I mean I guess I can post Meta Q/A but I usually find good Q and A already there

on the meta topics I'm interested in I mean

IMO it's very silly to only let people DV 4 times

On meta.SE I found out that you never see the need to post, but if you want to have some fun, it's fun to answer a ''y me get downrates'' and gain some rep if it doesn't get deleted.

alternatively another fix might be to make it so that there's not a 100 rep limit for downvoting?

I mean I can't even DV questions now

@jrh 125. Now it's 100?

yeah

let me get a screenshot

Oh, that's interesting

So they did . . . do something.

@jrh Well, meta veterans can make up a buttload of philosophical reasons for this, and they have already done something, so I don't think it will be like per site metas any time soon.

For instance, I could argue that once you're made to get around a bit and post something, you'll have a better idea about what to and not to disagree with.

Screenshot: i.sstatic.net/RB64g.png

Yah saw it.

meta.stackexchange.com/help/privileges

That's 125 rep in other sites.

It's probably intentional but I still don't really see the benefit, I've been reading SE sites for a couple years now.

oh well. If I would've known I would have probably saved the DVs for something more important

It's easy to get rep here though.

Too easy.

You just have to do it. Post something.

It's easy to post answers on discussions.

I'll keep that in mind, I have nothing worth posting ATM

repeat answers tend to get DVs on other sites

Well, you can stick around and see some interesting discussions pop up everyday

Answering which only requires having stuck around for a while.

@M.A.R. also know as "join the herd", and for once this was not a MLP reference.

@Derpy Should I VTC that as NAMLPR?

Awww, poor @Telkitty

@Telkitty does most of your life consist of posting cat pictures to chatrooms?

> So basically what was happening was that this account, John Rawls, had this other account Nick Bostrom voting for John Rawls. But rather I know Nick Bostrom so I kept on facebooking him the links to my questions so that I can get an answer.

I wonder how many people sends themselves messages on Facebook....

@Telkitty maybe the bully is... you? :D

^_^

Tellkitty is trolling Telkitty?

@Bart nah, she's no Shog

Only Shog can troll Shog with one of his Shogs

Shog is infinite

There is an infinite number of shogs right now

I read that ''I am sacred''

@Telkitty someone stole your account, locked you out and then paid the bills?

It must've been Billman.

Not the hero Telkitty needs, but the hero she deserves.

oh, nice, it seems they are doing a Makoto Shinkai movies run at the local cinema. Obviously, they left out Voices of a Distant Star, the one I wanted to see on the big screen. Aren't I lucky?... well, at least I get Your Name.

@Telkitty trying to think of a reason for such behavior, can't think one.

@Derpy An aquaintance doing it for giggles

But also not wanting to cause too much grief so they paid a bill to soften the impact

:p

@Magisch yep, have your friend experience hacking paranoia for week, then pop up and say "Surprise! I used your pass to make it so it seemed your account was hacked and payed your bill! Happy Birthday!!"

seems a good way to remove a milk teeth

because that is how you would probably end up

@Derpy :D

so, anyone ever discovered if @bjb568 old claims about the hats being "public domain" and "free to use" were true?

@Telkitty sorry, but you and serious have long since split up.

!!/hats

!!/blame hats

@ShadowWizard It's jrh's fault.

@M.A.R. thing is, everything points in the direction of those "two friends" being one single person.

Maybe with split personality, dunno. Don't really care.

@ShadowWizard Gemini?

@Derpy DID

I mean, it can happen... I really don't care and don't blame the person, as long as he/she won't vote for their "other self".

Why do I need disk space to uninstall programs

@devRicher any program might need space for temporary stuff, whatever is uninstalling other programs isn't different.

Does uninstalling stuff really take 320 MB

@ShadowWizard oh, does not worry me

Heya, what's up?

oh, and btw @sha... check the Cube...

I just thought about changing my meta chat profile "about:" to be a plea for a hotness sort, but it's already set up for that.

@Derpy cupcake?

:(

;(

Farewell to Winter Bash 2016!

My hat! :/

Oh nooo...

my golden top hat sit so nicely, slightly askew, upon whatever my avatar is

@Pandya Any reason why? It's not been active for months

You even said

Okay um why is my antivirus detecting some SDK as a virus

this is not good

heh, still there

!!/thisisfine

@devRicher Which SDK?

placing my bet on Xcode :P

@bluefeet Hello. Actually I wanted to start a room linked in my profile to get and give help on How SE works, help and suggest etc. But had got discouraged when found no one was using them that's why I had written that. No problem @ShadowWizard has explained this issue. I'm planning to get unfreeze anyone room linked in my profile. Thanks for reply

You can read descriptions of those rooms to get more idea about rooms

@zaq what's wrong with Atlassian?

@Pandya her point is that if you won't maintain the room, there's no point to unfreeze it as it would just auto freeze again.

(after one day)

@Pandya ^

@ShadowWizard I was not aware with 24 hour's limit. Hmm... then I'll consider it (unfreezing) in future. Going to sleep. Good-bye!

I don't think it's 24 hours. I think there's a process that sweeps rooms once daily, if no activity, freezes or deletes as appropriate.

Hey, welcome to the Tavern Mick

@M.A.R. Hi, there. What is this place, and more importantly, where is this place?

@Mick This is the main chat for Meta StackExchange, which is like a mother meta.

Issues that concern more than one SE site can be discussed here.

@M.A.R. Cool! I'll add it to my ever-expanding list of SE bookmarks. ;-)

@Mick "Second star to the right, and straight on till morning." ;-)

@ShadowWizard Huh? Why do you hammer that with the gravatar dupe?

@zaq Joel sent out an (internal) email explaining how this affects Stack Overflow. Summary: it doesn't. We use Trello a bunch here, but mostly because it fits our workflows fairly well.

@zaq k

Oh, the number density there is too high for me to bear at this time of the day.

I am at my Linguistics class. It says there are supposed to be 24 students, but there is a huge bunch of students, 10m before class starts.

Biazarre.

Bunch of early undergrad plebs. A bunch of girls too. Interesting.

Interesting? Why?

@zaq Yes

@M.A.R. It's like the opposite of a math class.

No other kittens around? That would be interesting.

Oh, the unusual amount of interest in linguistics as opposed to math?

> KEY TO SUCCESS IN THE COURSE: FOLLOW DIRECTIONS

@M.A.R. Dominance of girls, inclination to show up, etc.

Well, we must make sure everyone knows how to follow directions.

this is like flashback to kindergarten

@bjb568 Attendance in our math classes seemed to correlate with how well the instructor spoke English.

I guess that was true of the hard sciences as well.

@Bart I'll have a beer, you make popcorn?

@M.A.R. I seem to recall someone publishing a paper about a "Beer and Icecream Diet" which was based on mistaking calorie for Calorie.

I guess such mistakes are not at all uncommon these days.

@rene Shog really just wanted to say, "Stop being shitty to eachother over this political nonsense. I'm tired of dealing with it."

Eventually English will lose the capital letters, heh

@M.A.R. you'll have to pry my case-sensitivity from my cold, dead hands!

@rene oooh popcorn. Now I want some

Oh, dude, cold dead hands are an indication of some serious problem.

Go see a canonoptrist.

@canon that was the only point I got out of that post ...

@Bart you're welcome

@rene Exactly. Sure, the sentiment should be applied broadly... but he was just irritated at having to deal with it so he attacked it directly.

I guess we witnessed a Shogian approach to a problem

Works for me

Years ago, I had trouble maintaining civility in a conversation with an apartheid supporter. You can't just make yourself respect a person or his position. Most of the time, the best I can do is fake it or excuse myself from the conversation.

@rene wait... oh... the gravatar stuff threw me off. I also wanted to close as dupe of this one instead:

@ShadowWizard sure, sure, sure. Just admit you abused your hammer ;)

The other one was copied too, guess I didn't check when pasting, just had to go :(

So @rene you think the above is proper dupe? It doesn't really ask how to report though, just how it happened

(and answers reveal it's due to Gravatar)

@ShadowWizard no, it is not the correct dupe

oh well

The problem is not: How did they get my email. The question is: what should I do when I'm contacted on email address only used for SE.

There was role call.

She memorized faces.

Learned nicknames.

Still, looks like a good class.

@canon Definitely.

I wish my company had an index of faces/names on the intranet

would make Christmas parties less embarrassing

Hi, guy who's worked here for 10 years and has known my name for 5

@bjb568 what's your nickname in class?

@ShadowWizard "bjb568", of course

@canon too obvious :D

hah

When I was at school nobody had any "nickname", teacher called everyone by their real, actual, name.

Dunno how it is these days in my country.

If they call you by number you know you're not at school anymore

@rene if by phone number then you might be in dating service... ;)

:D

hey 972-50-xxxxxxx you're so nice! :P

@ShadowWizard do you know if there is an MSE post that explains how the roll-up/collapse for recent events of the reputation history page work?

like asked here: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/341209/…

@zaq You expect technology to be helpful?

Anyway, I'm in Number Theory now. I don't meet prerecs, so it's all the more fun.

@rene nope, didn't find any

@zaq it did

@zaq don't remember anymore

It was waffles' project, and he left a few months earlier... So without anyone to care for it, I expect it rotted pretty fast

Sorta thing that tends to need regular care.

yeah, that was part of it - but they had that solved, I think, or at least scaling reasonably well

I do recall there being a lot of headaches w/ links that redirected (but used the wrong code), sites that required logins, intermittent servers, etc.

So a site would start timing out for a bit at the wrong time & a bunch of folks would get notifications, then it'd be back up by the time they went to check

I think there was some logic to only notify if a link was broken for a while, but... Again, don't really remember anymore

In geologic time . . .

yeah... Nothing reminds you of how quickly things die like seeing deer along the road.

@zaq That looks like my parent's backyard in Fairfax Virginia.
