but outside religion - many of the choices I made - say vegetarianism are informed by, but not totally tied into it

Q: Brothers, we are not Christians‼

I am a Christian. You say you are. But we are not.1 It seems that a lot of folks are having a hard time wrapping their heads around the scope of this site. While I respect the SE staff2 and have been impressed with the effort they have taken (and judgement they have shown) in nurturing this site...

Journeyman Geek

and Bramins being purely vegetarian is historically recent

Shog9

Still my favorite statement of purpose for religion sites on SE

Journeyman Geek

(and I respect folks have other paths, religious or otherwise)

user5389107

see I respect religious people I don't necessarily respect religions

Journeyman Geek

4:03 PM

which is also fine

user5389107

regardless of their ideology everyone is their own person and their actions define them more

Journeyman Geek

But the way I profess my faith, would be very different to how my grandfather would, and my great grandfather would...

;p

but but. that's historical context ;p

user5389107

As long as you don't tell me I need to profess your faith too I don't think we'd have any issues

Journeyman Geek

oh hell no

user5389107

outside of common courtesy like not eating meat right in front of you if I can help it for instance

Journeyman Geek

4:05 PM

lol

I'm cool with that.

(actually I'm firmly against trying to convert people to hinduism. If they want to... ugh, go find an actual priest, not some computer geek ;p)

"-3" "answered with a cold detached reference to scriptures"

Journeyman Geek

and ok, at this point I think I'm going to have to do what's right, and deal with the annoyed CMs if I'm not....

user5389107

pls go ahead

this discussion isn't for this room I think

@user1114 @user1114 @JeremyBanks @ReadandSee why so many names

hey

well, on the other hand, I'm cool with religious SE sites, but I can't stand any topics on Philosophy.SE... (I'm not that religious either)

Jhoverit

HOW so many names in such short time?

Journeyman Geek

@hey not all of SE is for everyone ;p

(like say... some folk never go on SO)

Anonymous

@Jhoverit I was a moderator. Now I am not, so my name will not be changing again soon.

user5389107

@user1114 did you resign?

Jhoverit

4:13 PM

Lmao making a good comeback eh?

hey

@JourneymanGeek definitely, but that's what I experience as a HNQ hopper... I hate my curiosity to always open Philosophy HNQ then get triggered silently... :(

Anonymous

No, I did not resign.

Anonymous

But my actions weren't exactly consistent with someone who was trying to avoid this, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

hey

well, it's almost midnight here, better sleep to refresh the mind...

undo's minirant of the day: I'm encouraged by SE staff's apparent channeling of this energy into solid, useful improvements to the Q&A platform.

maybe not a rant, but gotta use the label

-1 not a rant ;p

hey

I.. failed to see the rant ._.

@Undo rantfail

Undo

real minirant of the day: I have a sore throat and it's terrible, why have we not solved this yet? Like, we can send stuff to Mars and cure a decent amount of cancer, can't we make a spray or something that fixes this?

Journeyman Geek

lol

@Undo I had one the other day

Undo

hydrogen peroxide spray is awesome, but temporary

Journeyman Geek

4:18 PM

basically curbstomped them with dequadin and eumenthol jujubes.

Shog9

@Undo whisky

HDE 226868

@Undo Hydrogen peroxide also helps send stuff to Mars. :P

Shog9

but yes, gargling with a weak hydrogen peroxide solution is pretty effective and cheaper than whisky

Taryn

@Shog9 he's not of age though, so you're a bad influence

Undo

technically legal as long as I'm not getting my medicine from a bar

Shog9

4:20 PM

still?

Undo

lol. I was 14 when I started on SR. Time flies, but not that fast :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

not that long ago

3 years?

ish

Journeyman Geek

Pretty sure I was at dneg at the time

user5389107

everytime I get a sore throat its tonsilitis

Journeyman Geek

4:22 PM

and heh, I've been a mod longer than I've worked in any one place :)

Take a bus up to Quebec, Alberta, or Manitoba (drinking age 18) and I'll buy the first round.

@Taryn update: lunch was spectacular

Jhoverit

@Undo As counter-intuitive as it sounds.. Warm salt water lol

Taryn

@SterlingArcher nice!!

Journeyman Geek

I've heard that one

Jhoverit

@user1114 I thought it was just a short fluke but apparently meta.stackexchange.com/users/134300/user1114 (your profile page) is inaccessible, infinite loading state. Kind of weird

Anyone else?

Works in incognito. Weird af.

Nope, it crashes the page in incognito

rene

@Jhoverit they now know where you live ...

Jhoverit

4:44 PM

Huh?

I move 600 miles in 1 week. They can log this address

rene

lol

@Jhoverit jeremy is in this list. I assume he is white-hat but he might have put some nice things for us in his profile page ....

TylerH

@Undo who was younger when they started moderatoring? You or Boltclock I wonder

Journeyman Geek

I hope boltclock

on the simple premise of being my countryman ;p

Undo

me by a long ways

TylerH

Apparently Boltclock was 19

For some reason I was thinking he started much younger

Journeyman Geek

4:48 PM

lol

whippersnappers ;p

Undo

we had to evaluate the risks on him :P

TylerH

I guess I was thinking of his Flash days at Newgrounds

Jhoverit

@rene I find that... Alarming?

TylerH

@JourneymanGeek I have discovered the secret to keeping Stack Exchange successful... have someone from Singapore as a mod on every site

Jhoverit

Suddenly it is fixed.

rene

4:51 PM

@Jhoverit sure!

It's just a silly resource-exhaustion bug that kills the tab, nothing actually risking your information.

hey

@user1114 something with uhoh and aws... >_>

Jhoverit

4:52 PM

@user1114 Why isn't it reported and remedied yet?

rene

@Jhoverit it is on Chrome's bug list I assume?

A: Allowing images from external sources opens doors to serious security exploits

I strongly recommend blocking non-Stack-hosted images in posts and messages going forward. The potential harm may not be severe, but it exists and there is no benefit to balance it out. Reasons to leave them: To avoid inconveniencing editors of old posts, as we already do for HTTP images. Noth...
