| cmaloney | That's pretty random | 01:25 |
| bananahands | wrong window. | 01:32 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 01:32 |
| mrgoodcat | morning | 12:23 |
| wolfger | morning | 12:23 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 12:26 |
| _stink_ | yo | 12:43 |
| mrgoodcat | the chancellor of uc davis has been put on leave over her handling of the whole pepper spray thing apparently | 12:50 |
| wolfger | paid administrative leave? | 12:50 |
| cmaloney | are they trying to scrape up $175K to wipe her mistake from the internet? | 12:50 |
| cmaloney | Maybe they should raise tuition to raise the money. | 12:51 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm not sure if leave is paid or not. but the leave is just during the investigation | 12:51 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm sure she'll end up with some other consequence | 12:52 |
| mrgoodcat | hopefully they terminate her | 12:52 |
| cmaloney | Damage is done, sadly | 12:52 |
| cmaloney | That they tried to bury it on the net is the proverbial spray-topping. | 12:53 |
| wolfger | I'm sure it's paid leave and I'm sure they'll find that she really wasn't involved. | 12:53 |
| wolfger | after the spotlight fades | 12:53 |
| wolfger | or perhaps they'll hang her as the scapegoat | 12:54 |
| wolfger | probably give her a nice termination package, and she'll go somewhere else, richer for it. | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | I sense cynicism that things will change. | 12:55 |
| wolfger | bingo | 12:55 |
| wolfger | read two news articles today about Prince. Both contained the exact same fact, but the spin was drastically different. | 12:56 |
| mrgoodcat | about the percoset? | 12:57 |
| mrgoodcat | percocet* | 12:57 |
| wolfger | One said "Prescription painkillers were found in Prince's possession", the other: "Powerful opiates found in Prince's possession" | 12:57 |
| wolfger | this is where cynicism comes from. | 12:58 |
| wolfger | "News" never presents facts without painting some sort of picture or another, to instruct you how you should feel about it. | 12:59 |
| mrgoodcat | both articles are attempting to do the same thing tho | 12:59 |
| mrgoodcat | farm clicks | 12:59 |
| wolfger | sure | 12:59 |
| wolfger | they are milking the fact that people want to know how he died, and there's no official announcement yet. Time to start all the rumor mills. | 13:00 |
| cmaloney | It's all story-telling. | 13:00 |
| cmaloney | I can die from dihydrogen monodixe poisioning, or I can drink too much water. | 13:00 |
| wolfger | so at the end of the day, the chancellor will be painted one way or the other, and however that is, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | We've become a culture where nuance is a dirty word | 13:02 |
| wolfger | but I think she's going to come out of it just fine, because people that high on the food chain always seem to. | 13:02 |
| wolfger | If she was a janitor, she'd be hosed. Already "let go", no compensation. | 13:02 |
| cmaloney | where understanding both sides takes too long, and the best we can hope for is finding someone we mostly agree with | 13:02 |
| cmaloney | wolfger: Oh totally | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | That Hastert isn't currently rotting in jail is a testament to the two-power system | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | vis a vis someone who allegedly had child porn on their computer getting locked up before all of the facts are in place. | 13:03 |
| wolfger | This is why we need Trump to make 'Murica great again.... | 13:03 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, that'll work | 13:04 |
| wolfger | xD | 13:05 |
| wolfger | <--troll | 13:05 |
| cmaloney | only if we can sell The USA to The Trump USA Inc and fold the old USA into a shell company that we can sell off to pay for the acquisition costs. | 13:05 |
| wolfger | sadly, it looks like Bernie will not be in the election, so I probably just won't vote. My conscience forbids me from voting for either Hillary or The Donald. | 13:05 |
| _stink_ | i just write in my wife for president | 13:07 |
| cmaloney | I don't want to believe in conspiracies, but part of me wonders if Trump's candidacy is to ensure Hillary makes it in | 13:07 |
| _stink_ | she says she doesn't want the job | 13:07 |
| cmaloney | She's clearly not insane then | 13:07 |
| wolfger | I used to think that Trump was a guaranteed Democrat win, regardless of who the candidate was, but now I'm not sure. | 13:07 |
| cmaloney | (your wife, not HC) | 13:08 |
| wolfger | _stink_: you have an intelligent wife | 13:08 |
| wolfger | I used to be dumb enough to think I wanted to be PotUS... | 13:08 |
| cmaloney | Well, we couldn't afford it | 13:09 |

| brousch | I'll finally be dipping my toe into development at work. However it will be in Android, not Python | 23:28 |
