KamalOS: how can level up in AI coders strike back, it shows "Wood 1 League" and " Rank 1/8,029"
KamalOS: Im in a stage, to use "BOOST"
Uljahn: open leaderboard on the left, you should be above the boss and have 100% games played
KamalOS: thanks Uljahn, When I finished writing the question, it shows me a countdow to next level and then next mission.. thnaks

C2H5OH: does anyone coding on js?
C2H5OH: for code let t = "aaaaa".replaceAll('a','b');
C2H5OH: a got error TypeError: "aaaaa".replaceAll is not a function
C2H5OH: whot is wrong?
jacek: did it work before?
Passifi: So I am working on battle towers right know, my idea was to iterate over every node and put and exit on the nodes which are connected to the most other nodes take that one out of the loop and mark the other nodes as connected then rinse and repeat this works until i hit the latter test cases. Now I wonder whether it is my implementation or whether my general idea is wrong. anyone got any Input ? :)
C2H5OH: IDE knows this method
jacek: battle towers?
jacek: tower dereference?
Passifi: battle tower its a medium puzzle
Passifi: https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/battle-tower
C2H5OH: BYTE PAIR ENCODING puzzle
Passifi: my results aren't of by much so there seems to be only a few exits to many even for big case sizes
Quadchess: can anybody help me creating a new question
Quadchess: it says stub genertaor eof
Quadchess: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/new-contribution/CLASHOFCODE
Passifi: to put it more simply what i tried to do is put an exit on the nodes which connect the most nodes and then fill up the dangline nodes at the end I thought this should work but maybe I am missing something
PaarthThePro: I was banned from World chat for posting clash links
PaarthThePro: No idea how I got back
jacek: oO
Astrobytes: banned or kicked?
PaarthThePro: I don't remeber
Astrobytes: Probably just a kick, they're temporary
Astrobytes: Or if it was w while ago, then you're unbanned
Astrobytes: *a
PaarthThePro: I think I got unbanned
Kitkat260: gm
Astrobytes: Well, just remember to post clash links in #clash and you'll be cool
C2H5OH: Passifi, yes, nice puzzle. I will solve it. https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/battle-tower
LightDarkness: guys while playing AI mode, how to output random things for the sake of debugging without crashing the game?
LightDarkness: I'm using C++\
Alex-1: hello guys
Astrobytes: std::cerr
Boutayeb: hey
Astrobytes: LightDarkness: stderr, std::cerr
Alex-1: Astro are you free in that time
Astrobytes: No, I'm working
Alex-1: ohh
Boutayeb: app games c#
Alex-1: Boutayeb what do you mean by app games C#
Alex-1: Automaton2000 Banned
Automaton2000: make sure to use the right tool for the job
LightDarkness: @Astrobytes I'm having problem using it.. still making crash (when I remove it the line the code works)
Astrobytes: paste your code here I'll have a quick look
LightDarkness: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/0e8b974d-9f98-4450-9977-6d98728c75dc
LightDarkness: line 54
LightDarkness: wait lemme comment it
Astrobytes: I think it's something to do with you accessing nodes[] rather than outputting to cerr
DaNinja: line 48 should be cerr
Astrobytes: good spot
Astrobytes: yep
Alex-1: DaNinja i don't see you from long time where you gone
LightDarkness: yeah you're right about line 48, but still i can't see the output :/
DaNinja: switched to front-end dev for a while, trying Svelte
Alex-1: what a deal i try Fantastic bits and reach the wood1 i try to bronze or i am better than boss it saying but not promoting to bronze rank = 5
Alex-1: :worried:
LightDarkness: okkay didn't know cerr is gonna output as an error, my bad :sweat_smile: Thank you guys
LightDarkness: it's working now
Alex-1: can any body help
Alex-1: :point_up:
CEE-JAY: hi
Alex-1: CEE-JAY hi
Astrobytes: Nice one LightDarkness
jacek: Alex-1 you need to be above boss, as well the other people
Alex-1: but i am trying it always defeat the boss but not going to up and down jacek
jacek: resubmit to arena and wait
Alex-1: trying to resubmit fall down
Alex-1: :joy:
jacek: oh my
Alex-1: but going to up
Alex-1: jacek i am in top 20
Alex-1: top 6
Alex-1: jacek a replay Alex-1 Vs AIBoss
Alex-1: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/544529847
Alex-1: again stop on rank 5
jacek: you can be better than boss and still worse than other top players
jacek: choose one of top 4 players in the ide and test against them
RoboStac: your last submit you played the boss 3 times and lost 2 of them
Alex-1: ohh okk
LightDarkness: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/7f3d33c7-4b61-4a35-8869-1aecb6d00186
jacek: LightDarkness forgot about endl?
Alex-1: Jacek i defeated rank 1 player in the arena
Alex-1: :confused:
DeeAyDan: Good afternoon people. I'm trying to solve Don't Panic - Episode 1. On case 4 my clone blocks on the middle of the map, and I don't know why. Can somebody give me a clue?
LightDarkness: even with endl, it's not showing any increasing
DaNinja: move "int counter = 1" before your while loop
DaNinja: you keep resetting it to 1
DeeAyDan: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/af77db63-e7ae-47eb-8e31-a68332ee8e5d
Alex-1: i got fall again
Kitkat260: hi brother alex
Astrobytes: re what DaNinja said about the counter variable, that looks like the reason your cerrs weren't printing the first time
LightDarkness: @DaNinja, makes a lot of sense.. Enough with newbie stuff for now.. Than you so much :D
DaNinja: :D
DaNinja: DeeAyDan try adding an else between your two output commands
DaNinja: and use the elevator positions on each floor
Alex-1: DaNinja is correct LightDarkness
Passifi: is there any way to make the debug console not abbreviate the data ? Im trying to import data to my idea for testing but in the middle of the stream there is a ... and a bunch of entries get skipped so thats no good ^^
Passifi: *my IDE
RoboStac: nope, thats a server side check, the only option is to output less
Passifi: okay cool that was helpful. I just let the same code run twice and restrict the output accordingly now I have all the data :) thx
Alex-1: jacek i am above the boss thanks for help
Alex-1: :smile:
jacek: :tada:
Alex-1: thanks
Alex-1: finally going to promot to broze
Alex-1: jacek
jacek: aww
Kitkat260: hey alex
Therabidpanther: good morning fellas
Therabidpanther: did codingames community get nuked?
Astrobytes: No. Most of us are at work/working from home
Therabidpanther: im at work too lol
Therabidpanther: last day :(
Kitkat260: has anyone seen alex
Kitkat260: anyone
Kitkat260: :9
Kitkat260: :(
Kitkat260: nvm
Kitkat260: :sob:
Kitkat260: is anyone here
Therabidpanther: yes
Kitkat260: have u seen alex-1
Therabidpanther: no
Kitkat260: ok :(
Therabidpanther: :(
Astrobytes: Since nobody has replied - clearly nobody has seen Alex
Therabidpanther: is it time to file a missing person report
Kitkat260: if u see him tell him to talk to me
Therabidpanther: will do
Kitkat260: thx
Therabidpanther: hey alex, talk to kitkat260 ASAP
Astrobytes: :smirk:
Kitkat260: hi astro
Therabidpanther: im just really worried about alex rn
Therabidpanther: is his safety in danger?
Astrobytes: He's been gone for 1 hour 5 minutes
Therabidpanther: oh no
jacek: hes promoted
Therabidpanther: a lot can happen in 1 hour and 5 minutes
Astrobytes: Ah. He no longer walks among us since his ascension.
jacek: he cant interfere with lower life forms
Moe07: yo this RGB to hex question when testing i got 100% but when i submitted i got 0%
Moe07: ??
Astrobytes: Validators are different from the test cases to prevent hardcoding.
Moe07: hmm i dont think i hardcoded
Moe07: i dont know wtv
Therabidpanther: 100% to 0% is tragic tho lolo
Moe07: would u like to look at my solution?
Therabidpanther: honestly has to be hard coded for that?
Astrobytes: Solve the general case not the tests
Moe07: thats what i did
Astrobytes: And watch out for edge cases
Moe07: yeah im not sure i originally had the same code as someone who got 100% but when i ran my solution the tests failed so i had to change it up, after that i got 100%, but when i sumbitted i got 0
Therabidpanther: im close to a solution, but with all the little changes i made myself lost lol
Therabidpanther: 100 SHARE
Kitkat260: hes gone gone
Astrobytes: gone
Kitkat260: yea
Astrobytes: Lord, he's gone. He's gone, gone, ain't nothin' gonna bring him back - he's gone
Kitkat260: and i need him cause he is my brother
Kitkat260: help me plz
Astrobytes: Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile
Kitkat260: can anyone replace him until he comes back
Kitkat260: anyone
Westicles: Little John maybe?
Therabidpanther: im alex
Kitkat260: really
Therabidpanther: no
Astrobytes: lol, ask Friar Tuck
Kitkat260: nvm :(
Astrobytes: It could be worse, he could be heavy
Astrobytes: But he's your brother.

jacek: oh hes not online
Passifi: woa just saw on coursera that russian universities give courses on competitive coding :upside_down:
gamerboy15: how can i switch on test 2 if first one is correct
gamerboy15: its just showing first one correct and when i go on line 2 it says test 1 incorrect
Unkowncoder: How do i complet this one
KalamariKing: gamerboy15 wdym? Could you elaborate a bit?
KalamariKing: Unknowncoder which? I won't tell you how, but I might be able to suggest something
KalamariKing: If the code is succeeding one test but failing another, the code is wrong
gamerboy15: when i was in clash of codes it gives me a challange like it saying excepted 5 got nothing i pruint 5 and then its like correct but at test two it says excepter 147 got 5 and when i change it to 147 it says test 1 incorrect
gamerboy15: If the code is succeeding one test but failing another, the code is wrong
KalamariKing: Sure
jacek: dont hardcode the answer
Digginwings: what does that mean
KalamariKing: Digginwings You have to calculate the result based on the inputs, you can't just print out the answer its expecting
KalamariKing: If that makes sense
Digginwings: ok yeah that does
Digginwings: reverse mode is the hardest mode to me
KalamariKing: Same
gamerboy15: me too i'm doing reverse mode now and idk what to do here HHHAHAHA
Digginwings: me too dont know what to do
KalamariKing: Sometimes what you have to program is simple, other times the test cases make no sense
gamerboy15: i need to do something
gamerboy15: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ce1b403d-9258-46ea-a726-f1ec158d520b
gamerboy15: it blowing my mind
KalamariKing: I have no clue what to do with that but try converting it all into base10 nums
KalamariKing: Then a pattern might be easier to see
gamerboy15: yeah imma try ty for help
TheBatMan_TM: yo
TheBatMan_TM: can someone give me any project ideas?
KalamariKing: A drone, but the flight instructions are sent through a neural-network-powered gesture recognition system
jacek: :notebook: :soccer:
Passifi: or you could teach a furby to feel real emotions
Passifi: beyond that it depends on your level Beginner ? Tetris in a console ! depending on the language you can go for real graphics too. best starting project imo.
TheBatMan_TM: I want some intermediate project ideas, maybe web based?
KalamariKing: Something like replit will give you an online vbox, if you want one
TheBatMan_TM: what's a vbox?
Therabidpanther: like a virtual machine
TheBatMan_TM: oh
Therabidpanther: replit is amazing for web projects tho
TheBatMan_TM: is working on an API a good idea?
Therabidpanther: i mean, I love API development, never done it on replit tho
TheBatMan_TM: ok thanks for the reply
Therabidpanther: Most of my API development has been with Spring Boot, and I did see somebody did use Spring Boot on replit. so it is possible
TheBatMan_TM: ok
**Digginwings slaps around a bit with a large fishbot

BlaiseEbuth: Why again Justin ? You can simply say "hello" as this is the first time today... (And please don't say it multiple time the same day).
BlaiseEbuth: And hello.
KalamariKing: He could have been saying 'again' as in sometime in the past 14 years

KaizenGTD: quite interesting/difficult game :sweat_smile:
King_Coda: So you know how rover names end with "ation"?
KalamariKing: Curiosity
KalamariKing: Curiosityation
BlaiseEbuth: Is Musk aboard? If yes, don't worry if you crash it.
miyyah: its almost midnight here
Kitkat260: Curiosity killed the cat
King_Coda: I hate cats
lazystick: :cat:
Astrobytes: oi
lazystick: :D
Hjax: ive been called out
BlaiseEbuth: Cats are love
King_Coda: Sorry, Sorry~
King_Coda: I love cats Astrobytes
orangesnowfox: Cats are life
Kitkat260: i love dogs
King_Coda: Cats are great
KalamariKing: Cats are smart
BlaiseEbuth: Cats are cats
Astrobytes: orangesnowfox knows
Kitkat260: not as smart as dogs
Astrobytes: Wanna bet
KalamariKing: Idk, my pupper
Kitkat260: yea
KalamariKing: 's not that bright
Kitkat260: wow
King_Coda: Bet.
Kitkat260: my dog is really smart
lazystick: :nerd:
King_Coda: Astrobytes can run leagues around anyones dog
Kitkat260: he tells us when he is thirsty by going to his water bowl
King_Coda: While your dog is doing the fifty metre, Astrobytes is already running the whole kilometre.
orangesnowfox: Cats... Do that too KitKat
lazystick: haha
Astrobytes: And rodents
Kitkat260: wow ok
Kitkat260: u won
KalamariKing: Mine just stares at me until I do her bidding, even if idk what she wants... just stares and little stomps
lazystick: there is cat in your name :grimacing:
King_Coda: :expressionless:
Astrobytes: I always wanted rats, but they totally wouldn't get on with my cats
orangesnowfox: ... You say that
orangesnowfox: But, is it the cats that would be scared?
orangesnowfox: Because, we have rabbits... And one of them chased off a cat
orangesnowfox: Like, a neighborhood cat, they stopped visiting because the rabbit was too scary
King_Coda: :rofl:
Astrobytes: No. The one in my pic bites sparrows now and then (usually I catch her). The other one used to chase a dog
orangesnowfox: lol
BlaiseEbuth: Scientifically speaking cats and dogs are just as smart. But dogs are submissive, and cats are dominants.
King_Coda: :joy_cat: WAAAAAH SCAwwY CaT
Astrobytes: Although they're both intimidated by magpies
lazystick: :laughing:
Astrobytes: Yeah, I prefer the challenge of cats
Kitkat260: :cowboy:
BlaiseEbuth: You have a dog and a cat has you.
Hjax: cats are lower maintenance than dogs
Hjax: dont have to take them for walks, and they use their litter box
Astrobytes: Dogs are nice, I love them too. But cats > all
BlaiseEbuth: Cats rules the world!
King_Coda: :rabbit2: :scream_cat:
Astrobytes: Let's just hope they never grow opposable thumbs and/or wings.
King_Coda: oh god
King_Coda: like racoons?
orangesnowfox: oh god, now I'm thinking of cats with opposable thumbs *and* wings
Astrobytes: Racoons have wings now King_Coda?
King_Coda: They have human hands
Astrobytes: *Raccoons
King_Coda: it's so bizarre
BlaiseEbuth: What's the purr pose of these things
Astrobytes: Exactly orangesnowfox, it's the stuff of nightmares.
BlaiseEbuth: If you saw a racoon with human hands, he probably stole them.
Astrobytes: We would have no choice but to welcome our new feline overlords.
Astrobytes: BlaiseEbuth: :rofl:
Astrobytes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMnQzmKsXu8
BlaiseEbuth: This racoon has no wings...
Astrobytes: The cat doesn't either, thankfully
BlaiseEbuth: World's safe

King_Coda: wasn't it just a few days ago?
ZarthaxX: Hjax you can look up existing representations like in stockfish
ZarthaxX: ah few days ago lmao
Astrobytes: some are Hjax yes
ZarthaxX: thought now
Hjax: yeah im familiar with how stockfish works
Hjax: im just wondering how far the people here are going
Hjax: i havent implemented magics before
jacek: i do 'classical' bitboard

King_Coda: I do?
King_Coda: Sorry, I'll stop bothering you then

King_Coda: how rude
Astrobytes: "Unban me mf"
King_Coda: Not with that language
thehairy: hello astro :wave:
Hjax: lol why are people so terrible at just being nice
King_Coda: Does he kiss his mother with that mouth?
King_Coda: Astrobytes, apparently Quadchess thought you were spamming?
Hjax: no fun allowed, all fun is spam!
King_Coda: indeed
Astrobytes: He can't read? PeerPressureBytes -> Pressure Drop lyrics... not much of a stretch
King_Coda: Apparently
King_Coda: He doesn't seem the brightest of people
Hjax: even if thats true, his response to getting banned would imply he deserves to stay banned
King_Coda: indeed
Hjax: if he had been like "oh im sorry i misunderstood, i thought you were spamming" maybe astro would be a bit more forgiving lol

struct: Here is multiple tips for ruby
struct: Now you are ready
King_Coda: lol
Lachrymosa: I have been trying to get this DFS to return the deepest leaf for a week now :V I keep getting nearer but I'm off by one depending on the case, or I end up with some crazy number like 96 when I needed 3.
Lachrymosa: recursion breaks my poor little head
orangesnowfox: Larchymosa, what are you using the DFS for?
Astrobytes: Dwarves I think
Astrobytes: Or whatever it's called
Astrobytes: The puzzle
Astrobytes: iirc
orangesnowfox: Presumably not COTR
Lachrymosa: Yea dwarves
orangesnowfox: (only reason it's in my head is because that's what *I'm* doing that rn)
Astrobytes: (sorry I'm multitasking here to teh tune of about 8 things, down from 10 at least)
Lachrymosa: The issue I'm running into that is keeping me from completely ripping off a DFS example is they're all geared towards searching for a specific leaf and not traversing the whole tree and returning depths
Lachrymosa: I think the way the node maps are set up are different in the examples too. In mine I use a dictionary that has keys to nodes that have children, if the node has no children It isn't in the dictionary as a key
Lachrymosa: I think what makes recursion hard for me is I use only the CG IDE and don't have a step-through function. And if I use stderr prints they can come out of order to whats actually happening
Lachrymosa: When I move here soon I'm planning on picking up a big whiteboard so I can rubber ducky and project plan better :V
Astrobytes: Traverse the tree in a DFS manner and keep the depth at a leaf node if deeper than the last leaf node depth you recorded?
Astrobytes: Pretty sure it was along those lines
Lachrymosa: Maybe, but for now I don't think I'm properly counting depths because my recursion is too much of a black box for me rn.
Lachrymosa: My node objects have two values, the key and a list of children. Maybe if i pop a child upon visiting it will fix it
struct: Also you dont need to use recursion
Astrobytes: Yeah, you can use an iterative version easily
Astrobytes: I am helping someone to beat me in Clobber. Why am I helping someone to beat me in clobber.
Astrobytes: They already beat me but still I help.
Lachrymosa: I suppose I don't have to use recursion, but this is a relatively simple problem to use it with, and I'll need to figure it out eventually right?
struct: you are right
Astrobytes: The choice is yours
Lachrymosa: I need to get this :V so I'll stick with it. I remember when I first started on here it took me 2 months to figure out the descent lol
Lachrymosa: I couldn't wrap my head around the input->print system
Astrobytes: You do what feels necessary Lachrymosa, I remember you from before and you've come a long way
Astrobytes: You left Germany and went back to US right?
Lachrymosa: Yea, I'm settled up in Texas now
Lachrymosa: Pursuing cyber security with long-term goal in red-teaming/pentesting
Astrobytes: Cool beans, all going well?
Lachrymosa: Yea :D I'm getting SANS certs for free from my employer and standing up a new SIEM for our enterprise, its super cool, but also so much new info 0.o and it's never going to let up cause theres always something more to learn
Lachrymosa: my current python skills are overkill for my job atm, but if I want to do the GXPN later I think I'll need deeper knowledge in C++ and stuff so I can manipulate memory for exploits better
Astrobytes: Nice! Hey, in any discipline the learning never stops
Astrobytes: Yeah I'd recommend getting down and dirty with learning the machine inside out. If you plan to go down that road it will serve you well.
Lachrymosa: Yea, but like when I was fixing cars before the "new" info was hooking up diagnostics equipment to the ECM, or knowing a proprietary fastener cause German engineering or something. This is just... like, I have to write signatures for alerts. But to know what I'm looking for I have to research what the signature would even be looking for and then do some heuristics to make sure I don't have a lot of false positives or worse false negatives
Lachrymosa: all the things, hectic, but happy
Astrobytes: Depends how deep you want to go. But actual knowledge of what vulnerabilities you exploit are a massive bonus :D
Astrobytes: ^reply to previous message not last
Lachrymosa: well I want to get that OSCP under my belt, and they don't allow metasploit modules that you didn't put in there yourself lol
Astrobytes: That's what I like to hear
Lachrymosa: Once this whole covid lockdown lets up a bit I'd love to go to defcon or shmoocon or something
Lachrymosa: Its weird looking at my skills in review and then still having imposter syndrome XD
Astrobytes: PostCovidList: out of bounds exception
Lachrymosa: kek
Astrobytes: Ey imposter syndrome is real. Just trust yourself. And you have nothing to lose, everything to gain.
Zenoscave: One more week!
Astrobytes: Failures are just the success you didn't achieve yet - that sounds corny af, but if you learn from your failures...
Zenoscave: It sounds corny because it is corny Astrobytes. you're not wrong though
Lachrymosa: Yea, its cliche but theres a reason for that. It is objectively true
**Astrobytes takes a bow
Lachrymosa: My goal with this next competition is to get high silver and maybe break into gold
Zenoscave: Great we fed his ego
Lachrymosa: previously it's been to get copper
Astrobytes: It was starved Zenoscave
Zenoscave: as it should be Astrobytes
Zenoscave: -_-
Zenoscave: Lachrymosa what lang will you use?
Lachrymosa: Is Zenoscave like Plato's Cave but in order to see the shadow on the wall the light would have to reflect halfway to my eyes, and then the remaining half, etc so I'd never see anything?
Lachrymosa: Python
Zenoscave: FINALLY
Zenoscave: That joke has gone unnoticed for 5 years
Zenoscave: you just made my day
Lachrymosa: >.> I follow existential comics so philosophy jokes are a fave
Astrobytes: I *could* be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's been uncovered previously no?
Zenoscave: It was uncovered but no one got it, I had to explain
Astrobytes: existential comics?
Astrobytes: Now that's something
Lachrymosa: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/1
Lachrymosa: great comic, funny artist, their twitter is also a riot
Astrobytes: Nope. I literally meant 'existential comics'
Lachrymosa: oh lol, wouldn't that be all of them?
Astrobytes: That's up for discussion
Lachrymosa: Like isn't "Whats the deal with airline food?" a few somber thoughts away from why are we here?
Astrobytes: Comic is also a noun for a comedian
Lachrymosa: I got that, I'm insinuating that a comedian, being someone who draws humour from observations of everyday life, is inherently existential in that they question their very existence and find absurdity in it.
Astrobytes: True. Yet not all humour is observational yet may still be comical. And may draw on themes of existentialism.
Smelty: perhapsn'tll
Astrobytes: Hehe, sorry. I love absurd, surreal and non sequitur based humour.
Lachrymosa: Same :3
Lachrymosa: even anti-humour is appreciated
Zenoscave: I like the worst humor simply to watch people die
Zenoscave: The dad joke
Lachrymosa: Puns are the highest form of comedy and the weak shirk from the light of salvation that it brings.
Astrobytes: I take issue only with crude humour where it is undue. Almost everything else is game.
Lachrymosa: I maintain that comedy punches up, if you're punching down that is the oppressor speaking
Astrobytes: Depends on the format - comedy battles
Astrobytes: But yeah, speaking broadly, 100%
Lachrymosa: Context is always relevant. Chapelle for instance says some objectively heinous stuff, but he usually does it as hyperbole to point out people who genuinely have the negative sentiment
fvla: That's an interesting one I've never heard before: "comedy punches up."
Lachrymosa: Theres also people like Anothony Jeselnik who crafts brilliant jokes with excellent gotcha punchlines. His humour is almost exclusively crude, though never quite aimed at one particular real person. I think the fact that he is consistently crude and doesn't use real people for subjects gets him through the public gauntlet. Though New Zealand really hates him for his shark party bit
fvla: I think it's just important to remember that one can't become a complete comedian without learning how to make fun of themself
Lachrymosa: Yea, comedy punches up is like a rule among most comedians. It defines the social rules that allow us to make fun of Karens but not tell jokes that rely on racial stereotypes. A Karen is ideologically rooted in systemic and societal power and privilege, while racial stereotypes are tools to enforce that power balance in favor of "The Karen". Sorry if I'm getting too deep into this :V
Lachrymosa: You're absolutely right though, a healthy amount of self-deprecation is key
therealbeef: May :)
Lachrymosa: 7 hours to go :3
Lachrymosa: Hello from the past~
therealbeef: you're not in Spangdahlem?
Astrobytes: Lachrymosa: I'm going to sleep now but I have to say that the last few comments were excellent, especially with regards to self-deprecation
Lachrymosa: Not anymore, I should update that
Lachrymosa: Alrighty Astrobytes, was good chatting ^_^ I'll be seeing you around!
Smelty: heeeellloo
therealbeef: it's going better than Turkey's economy
Helix128: :eye:
