[1:43
PM] Mr. Silver:
Thought
of something yesterday regarding people complaining about server
outages and "I need this now" attitudes.
"You
know how when you catch a cold and how there's nothing you can do
about it except try to get a bit of relief until your body takes care
of it? That whole process is both extremely simple looking on
the outside but staggeringly complex on the inside, involving
trillions of reactions and cellular structure interactions per HOUR,
let alone per day. You do your best, spending money on
medicines and such that really do little to nothing but provide some
relief but in the end you just have to wait it out a week or two.
The entirety of the Internet since it was built, as complex as
it is, is less complex and far less sophisticated and has done less
than your body did just waking up this morning. Yet you'll wait
out a cold. This is just a server problem. Give us some time
please. Do some of your bookkeeping or something."
[2:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[2:11
PM] Ms. Rose:
:-)
[2:13
PM] Mr. Brown:
I
like that analogy
[2:18
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
think a lot of people have this weird impression that we aren't
actively working to fix things and are just sitting on our hands or
something.
Perhaps
because they've worked for companies that did that?
[2:20
PM] Mr. Brown:
Nobody
has patience anymore; that is the issue. They are taught this day
and age things can always be fixed faster and easier than reality
[2:21
PM] Mr. Blue:
Nobody
sees the conveniences around them either. They just expect things to
work.
Entitlement,
I guess
Technology
can't be enjoyed if you feel like you are entitled to it
It
no longer is a convenience, it's a necessity
[2:21
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yeah,
I keep teaching my son patience.
[2:23
PM] Ms. Rose:
Like
the people who want "confirmation" of service
interruptions, so they can keep some pointless proof of it if their
supe (also interrupted) asks for it...like they can't just look it up
in the log. I email those all the time.
[2:23
PM] Mr. Silver:
Who
was the comedian "If you are standing around bitching about the
delay of your flight...FU."
[2:23
PM] Mr. Blue:
Louis
C.K.
*nasally
voice* "Our plane sat on the runway for over an hour!"
"Oh
yeah? What happened next? Did you fly through the air, incredibly,
unbelievably? Did you experience the miracle of human flight
and aviation?"
[2:24
PM] Ms. Rose:
LOL
Love
Louis C.K.
[2:24
PM] Mr. Blue:
“You
know what you had to go through to go from NY to LA 100 years ago?
You
had to round up a party, and most of you died along the way. By the
time you got there, you were a completely different generation of
people.”
Another
one was about how he was on a plane and the flight attendants were
like
"This
is brand new - we're now offering wifi on the flight. Just connect
to it and you're on the internet."
Halfway
through the flight the wifi went down, they were like
"Sorry,
it's not working now." and the guy next to Louis was like "PSSH!
this is bullshit!"
So
this amazing thing that this person didn't even know existed 2 hours
ago suddenly becomes something he feels like he is entitled to.
I
guess it's maybe human nature to never feel satisfied or content
about things
I
guess that's how you keep pushing through and discovering new things,
but mostly it's just annoying if you're not also one of those people
contributing to new discoveries and technology.
Not
that I am...I am not contributing to anything.
[11:44
AM] Mr. Blue:
So
when you pick a movie, Mrs Silver won't watch it, and when she picks
you have to?
[11:45
AM] Mr. Brown:
Yeah,
that's marriage
[11:45
AM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[11:45
AM] Mr. Brown:
Happens
to me too.
Or
she sits down like she is going to watch it and falls asleep.
I
have my sons to watch stuff with
It'll
be even better when they are old enough to watch the really good
stuff
Like
showing them Rambo and such
[11:46
AM] Mr. Blue:
That'd
be awesome!
[11:46
AM] Mr. Brown:
Rambo
is stupid to Mrs. Brown
[11:47
AM] Mr. Blue:
I’d
be afraid they'd be too desensitized with CGI to enjoy something like
Rambo or Predator
Then
I’d have to kill my own sons
"So,
what'd you think?"
*playing
with iphone 17* "Ehh, it was alright."
"I
have no son."
[11:51
AM] Mr. Silver:
She'll
watch some of mine.
She
was so vocally anti- Pee Wee Herman yesterday that when I grabbed the
1st movie for Malcolm and me last night, she said...to the guy at the
counter..."I hope there's a big crack in it!"
He
opened it.
There
was.
[11:52
AM] Mr. Blue:
Jesus
[11:52
AM] Mr. Silver:
Of
a type I've never seen on a CD/DVD
He
was totally spooked.
Her
and her bloody subconscious witchcraft...
[11:52
AM] Mr. Brown:
lol
[11:52
AM] Mr. Silver:
He
let me have it on a freebie "Might work".
It shouldn't have.
It
did.
During the fight over Pee Wee, she
"predicted" (will cause) early snow too...sorry...we're doomed. Just never make her screaming mad and nothing bad will happen.
(We had a freak October ('15) snowstorm within a couple weeks
of this chat. She did the same thing in May this year ('16) after insisting for years -- against ample evidence -- that it snows "all the time" in May around here and that she didn't destroy her sister's party in high school because she wasn't invited. When it went from playful teasing to a fight, I knew she'd have to "prove" snowstorms happen in May. – Mr. Silver)
[11:53
AM] Mr. Blue:
But
she picks straight-to-DVD Stephen Baldwin flicks with impunity?
[11:54
AM] Mr. Silver:
Likes
the descriptions
[11:54
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
predict stuff all the time
I
freaked my in-laws out once
[11:56
AM] Mr. Silver:
Mr.
Brown... The woman has voiced strange out-of-place thoughts I and
other people – including total strangers – have had, quoting them
word-for-word, right after they thought them.
[12:00
PM] Mr. Brown:
OK,
I have not been that pin point.
[12:00
PM] Mr. Silver:
This
past Tuesday:
"Ever
been to Eastern State Penitentiary?"
"(pop
eyed) I was there 2 days ago."
"Oh!
Cool place, huh?"
Unfortunately
this talent has neither the consistency or applicability to be very
useful.
(me)
"Can't you do that with a lottery number one of these days?"
(her)
"That would be nice."
[12:03
PM] Mr. Brown:
I
actually see multiple outcomes of things
The
way I freaked my in laws out was we were getting about 50 scratch off
lottery tickets out a machine.
I
said as she sat the pile down
“Top
is a 1 dollar winner.”
Rips
it - its a winner.
Then
I said “5th one down is a winner”
Counts
down - 5th is a winner
I
got it right one more time then it stopped
LOL
[12:09
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
think I'm getting, like, double deja vu.
Like
the other day, I was taking clothes out of the dryer and it felt like
I had had deja vu about it before, while doing it previously
If
that makes sense...
Like
this was the third time I had done it...not just twice.
[12:11
PM] Mr. Silver:
You
remembered doing the same load two times before doing it?
Heh.
Freaky.
[12:12
PM] Mr. Blue:
It
wasn't just doing laundry. It was holding a specific shirt at a
specific time of day and thinking about the same thing when I saw
that shirt because it's a shirt I hadn't seen in a while
It
felt like double deja vu
I
think deja vu is just a getting old thing
[12:13
PM] Mr. Brown:
Eh
[12:13
PM] Mr. Blue:
It
feels familiar because it is familiar... you have done it
before
[12:13
PM] Mr. Brown:
But
it depends on the deja vu event, though.
I’ve
gotten that at places I know I have never been before
[12:14
PM] Mr. Silver:
Argument
against – I had a lot more of that when I was young.
It
rarely happens now.
[12:15
PM] Ms. Rose:
Same.
Deja vu all the time when I was younger. I didn't know what it was
and it freaked me out. Then mom explained a little. Haven't had it in
a long while. I'm too old and my brain is too full of other crap. :(
[12:16
PM] Mr. Brown:
The
“not here” thing gets freaky
[12:17
PM] Mr. Silver:
Disassociation?
I separate and drift a bit under the right conditions, yes
[12:17
PM] Mr. Brown:
Basically
I
have to try to break myself out of it
[12:17
PM] Mr. Silver:
Break
the wrong way and you'll be gone
;)
[12:17
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yep!
LOL
Its
weird because I’m aware that I’m here and always have been, yet
I'm feeling that I am not here, and have not always been.
LOL
Then
its a battle to come back to the now
Almost
like I could go anywhere when in that state
I've
never been able to induce that state
[12:19
PM] Mr. Silver:
Astral
travel, sure, as a common trick...your Player takes off to look at
other stuff.
But
you could physically relocate too, if you knew how. I believe
that and have for a long time. You know me...I have grave doubts any
of this is even real.
But...
The
security is strong in here.
[12:20
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
had that thing again the other night where I’m halfway in between
asleep and awake and I’m like all different sizes.
[12:20
PM] Mr. Silver:
Ugh.
I've had that wide awake walking the aisles here.
