    There was one year many years ago when I paid attention to the World Cup to the extent that I had statable preferences on whom I wanted to win, even though said preferences were based simply on the colors on their jerseys.

    France beat Brazil in the finals that year.

    The Ouzel was last seen in the autumn of 1695 leaving dock in Dublin under the command of Capt Eoghan Massey of Waterford. She reappeared—supposedly the triumphant victim of high seas piracy—in 1700. According to her captain, he and his crew had been commanded and forced to loot several locations including North Africa over the span of several years before overpowering their captors, retaking their vessel, and returning home unharmed.
    It took me a couple reads and a visit to its dedicated article to understand who/what "she/her" was referring to.

    Ships, and to a lesser extent spaceships, airplanes, and cars, and other vehicles, are frequently referred to using female pronouns, for whatever reason.

    There is love everywhere, I already know
    "whatever reason" sad, sexually frustrated men at sea/etc

    My discord account logged me out and it seems I might have used a disposable e-mail to set it up. I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to do anything with it.

    I've noticed an increasing number of those swirly pole things outside barber shops around here, the ones I've seen are the red-and-blue-on-white ones. These things didn't exist outside fiction, like TV shows and foreign countries, so it's amusing to me that they're showing up.

    Around here, they spread along with that hipster beard fad and now they're commonplace. I only ever saw like a single explicitly men's barbershop before it began, every other hairdresser's was the girly, run by all-female crew, kind, servicing all genders but oriented towards female clients. Don't remember ever seeing the swirly pole back in the day.

    Talking about barbers, that's how a men's hair care specialist is called these days, "barber". As in, English borrowing. Apparently it sounds better than our own words for it. Of the two I can think of, I guess one is too much like the female kind, and the other too silly.

    Today I simultaneously learned how "segue" is pronounced and what "Segway" does not mean.
    I blame English.

    hey @lrdgck where did you post that thread where IIRC you posted something about contact info to get in touch elsewhere?
  • lrdgcklrdgck
    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    Honestly, I'm not quite sure. I vaguely remember something to that effect, but what and where... Could've been a standard post, could've been in activity, though this one's doubtful, or could've been in a discussion by PM. It's not in threads I founded, at least. I think you have my e-mail, though, through some admin business or something.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Was It this thread?
    There was also a PM thread I started a couple years ago about my work problems that included some of us posting contact info.

    Yeah, I can see your e-mail address on your profile due to being an admin I think.

    But part of why I'm mentioning this is because the backend of this forum has been half-broken for years. To the point where it's apparently impossible to change people's statuses (e.g. make or remove mods or ban people). This probably needs some extensive updating work.

    Stormtroper I at least have some contact with over Discord. Which is why I asked you specifically lrdgck.
  • lrdgcklrdgck
    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    Well, yeah, if you need a concact to me that could be used urgently, then I don't check that e-mail account too often, but if you want to make sure we won't lose contact then it's there. Unless you want some backup contact beyond this one. (Like, I didn't want to drop an e-mail address over a forum post because the spam people never sleep, but if need be something can be arranged.)

    Also, yeah, I guess I'd have to set up a new discord account, for reasons I've posted about some time ago. (Lost the logins and stuff.)

    If you're gonna start from scratch, you can also consider hopping onto Matrix, which is basically decentralized Discord.

    Or Mastodon, which is decentralized Twitter.

    Or come hang out on IRC. Ye olde IJBM IRC channel (#ijbm on irc.esper.net) is technically still around though it gets very little use.

    (Amusingly, a Steam friend of mine turned out to be using Matrix and I jumped on the chance to chat with him on that since it's basically like the first reason I've ever had to not just mess with Matrix a little but actually use it to chat.)

    come to think of it I seem to have forgotten to post a guide i wrote up for getting onto Mastodon, including resources like server lists

    I'll do that later

    Gotta say I find it appealing to associate years with whatever. A bit late but Happy New Year!
    I thought it was a fleeting rush but I haven't stopped programming for over a month now.

    lol I actually meant that as a lunar new year greeting hahaha

    Gotta say I was a bit baffled with it. So, happy (lunar) new year, I guess!
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    I'm confused, that's what I thought you meant and I don't know what else it could mean (maybe the year that started 24 days ago?).

    Unfortunately, there's no place called "Fucking" anymore in Austria, the good thing is that people there decided it'll be called "Fugging" now :DDDD

    where do I post a chess meme if it's neither picture nor video?
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Technically the tabletop games thread, but if it were me I'd just post it here.
