[01:34] morning [04:49] g'night [05:17] <_stink_> good job today every1 [05:36] <3 [06:38] morning [13:54] morning [16:52] happy saturday everyone [19:54] Howdy [20:24] whew. been a day. has anyone here gotten asked for a ride at an Arby's? this is the second time i've been approached at the Arby's on Walton and Perry/Opdyke for either money (because someone "ran out of gas") or a ride. like really? [20:25] it's totally disconcerting. "did you drive?" "yes." "can i get a ride?" "no." [20:26] i was rude, but at this point in my life, i've gotten over the "oh crap, better not be rude to a total stranger even if they threaten my time/life/money/etc". [20:27] i think the asker was taken aback that i said "no" with no question in my voice or hesitation to think. [20:34] tell them to download uber, if they can't do that tell them to make better life decisions [20:34] maybe i should be nicer but damn. [20:34] i'm getting crotchety in my old age. [20:35] heh [20:35] I'm slightly more outgoing but I'm also armed. Way more likely if I have someone else in the car too [20:36] i'm not armed unless you count my pocketknife. [20:36] was outside of Small's last month and some homeless woman was begging for food for her kids in the park. another patron went and bought her a pizza. so she's carrying around this pizza begging for more food [20:37] this woman looked down on her luck (sorry lady) and she reeked of ciggies. [20:37] food money* [20:37] people tend to make their own luck :/ [20:38] food money? yeah when i was in flint i was downtown at GFAC and some guy was like "i'm hungry and can't afford food" and one of the members of my Rotaract group was like "ok, i'll get you a halo burger" and the guy was like "no i want mcdonalds" [20:38] please note, mcdonalds is a DRIVE from GFAC and halo burger is next freaking door. [20:38] apparently beggars can be choosers [20:39] my rotaract friend was like "no if you want me to get you something to eat, then you get halo burger." [20:39] begging guy wandered off [20:40] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLwtMM4Hoac completely NSFW, but hilarious [20:40] if i was younger i might have hesitated in my "no" to this woman. i'm glad i'm An Old now (and i think she was older than me, but whatever) and have enough life experience to just say no to these people. it's hard sometimes, but geez. [20:40] oh and cmaloney, she did have a cell phone [20:41] Um, I'd fucking take Halo Burger any day of the week over McDs [20:41] probably has less cardboard content at least [20:41] Halo burger actually has a picture of the meat that you'd be eating on the door [20:41] how old are you? [20:42] i'm 36. [20:42] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKWYLtJLW5o I'm going to use this all year until it's no longer relevant [20:43] i'm comparing it to when i was 23. i might have hesitated back then. [20:43] HAH i love that, Scary_Guy [20:43] at this point I'm more likely to say yes, what's the worst that can happen? I get killed? awesome, less bullshit I have to put up with then [20:44] cmaloney, halo burger is delicious and if i was begging i would be freaking STOKED to get that instead of mcd's. [20:44] Yeah [20:44] so this person's judgement can't be trusted [20:44] you made the right call [20:45] person was begging for cash for food, so the decisions that lead them there already indicate strongly that they should not be trusted :/ [20:45] i miss it. i think there's one somewhere around in the metro d area but i don't want to drive an hour for it. if i'm going to do that, i'm going up to the outlet mall. [20:45] I'm not saying everyone is bad, some people really do need the cash and are just victims of the system... most others however... [20:46] yeah, i know. i'm jaded from my time in flint. [20:46] Is it prepared by a Master Chef? [20:46] and this approach here in (technically) Pontiac just sealed my grumpy heart deal [20:47] halo burger? probably not, but it's delicious. QP + cheese - mayo + pepper rings is heaven [20:47] I hang out in the D a ton, I see some homeless but I think they buss most of them to Pontiac and Flint [20:47] i lived in the rich white kid apartment complex across from Kettering, so luckily i didn't have anyone coming to my door. [20:47] http://globalgeeknews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Master-Chief-is-a-Master-Chef.jpg [20:48] you know the one, the one with the 12 foot fence and the razor wire on top with the barbed wire too. [20:48] Scary_Guy, HAH i love that one too [20:48] automated gun turrets? yeah sounds awesome [20:48] no. [20:48] damn [20:48] but i do know there were a couple KU kids who carried in their backpack [20:49] technically the campus is "gun free" but we knew the kids who carried. asked one of them to walk me to the 7-11 once. he was a nice kid. [20:49] all the other kids with their pumped-up kicks? [20:49] HAH we were all kids with not much life experience back then. [20:50] do you like Mondays? [20:50] ah to not be worried about things, just walkin around in flinttown [20:50] since i have my new job, i love Mondays. why? [20:50] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yteMugRAc0 I have a softspot about songs referencing school shootings :/ [20:53] or in that case, in tribute to the victims. mental health services in this country (and state, thanks Engler) suck [20:54] yes they do and i think that's one of the reasons why we have people asking for food and rides at the Arby's on Walton and Perry. [20:54] that and the drug war [20:55] the drug war. sounds like the skeleton war. too bad it's not harmless like the skeleton war. [20:56] doot doot. anyway yeah, if we treated the drug epidemic as a treatment issue rather than an enforcement issue people could get help without fear of also being locked up/branded as addicts [20:56] also it would reduce the black market to nothing [20:56] +1 i agree [20:57] ALSO for all the Bob Ross fans in the audience: http://www.scarymommy.com/target-bob-ross-board-game/?utm_source=glp&utm_campaign=GLP&utm_medium=partner [20:58] not what I'd expect a site called "scarymommy" to be about but okay [20:58] hah same [20:58] ok i'm going to watch some murder she wrote. i do not know why i love this show but i do [20:58] I was expecting more like a Casey Anthony site or something [20:59] okay, yeah you are old :p [20:59] peace and i might pop in on a commercial break (ps i love cozi tv) [20:59] Matlock on after that? [20:59] hey now, i watched this when i was a kid [20:59] fair enough, I do the same [20:59] uh, i think the 6 million dollar man is next. then the bionic woman, then columbo. and yes, i do like matlock [21:00] Car 54 Where Are You? [21:00] :) [21:00] My Three Sons [21:00] never got into that one [21:01] It was on and I was bored as a kid. Nick-at-Nite was a great distraction [21:01] anyway TTYL, I'm going to try to get some sleep before the game night house party/Small's/City Club night of doom starts [21:02] i thought they bus a lot of homeless to AA [21:02] no, the scoops get them and take them to the factory to get "processed" [21:02] ooof [21:02] hey i got irc on my chromebook [21:02] :) [21:13] i'm using hte Byrd client, if anyone is interested [22:51] anyone know wine verywell? does it support ipv6? [22:55] nm, supports it fine.
