14:11 < tapirus> my favourite J moment was getting most of the way to a one liner Markov generator on my phone on a twenty five minute long train journey

00:13 < mw> the black forest donut in offbeat is delicious. /cc: blc
03:06 < stesh> is that the place with the delicious-looking donut sign outside Pearse Dart Station?
05:27 < tapirus> it is
05:27 < tapirus> don't like that place, reminds me of burger places like counter
05:29 < tapirus> in that the same way they're obsessed with topping and customisability, to the detriment of an actual decent juicy burger, off beat is a place with a million and one very lovely toppings, but the donut itself is very bland and boring, and identical to the tesco donuts we've been having the last twenty years
05:30 < tapirus> just as I'd rather go to Bunsen and have a simple, but juicy and delicious, hamburger or cheeseburger, I'd much rather go to that tiny donut kiosk on O'Connell Street, and get a plain sugar, but delicious, ring donut there
05:34 < tapirus> David Lynch's Dune is fantastic in its own way, it's terrible as a film, but more than any other adaptation, it captured the whole middle ages, crusades / Renaissance feel of the dune universe perfectly
05:35 < tapirus> If you ignore the terrible pacing, and the weird deviations from the novel (weirding modules etc.) it makes a great visual accompaniment to a renewed reading of the book

< kevinly> tapir: still taking the luas listening to skinny puppy leading nietzche?
< kevinly> i suppose you should have been finished his collected works by now
< pfm> kevinly: i am exceedingly nice to people who i believe are nice themselves
< tapir> nah I'm into Spinoza these days Kevin
< tapir> Spinoza and drum and bass

17:34 < tapir> Weird, reading about Wes Craven, the guy has a masters degree in philosophy and was a humanities professor in the 70s, but gave it up because he'd make more money directing porn, then 
               moved on from there to real films
17:35 < rsynnott_> is this a glimpse into your future career?
17:36 < stesh> rsynnott_: can you really picture tapir as a porn director?
17:48 < spacedave> yeah but it would be very different porn
17:49 < spacedave> like 3 nude people wearing horse-masks doing interpretive dance to whitehouse
17:52 < spoon> lolled
17:55 < stesh> Surely you're boning Mr Feynman
17:55 <@johnl> Skinoza
17:55 < stesh> Fountain penis
17:56 < rsynnott_> :D

< Tapir> oh man, that pate, cream cheese, gherkin and tabasco roll I prepared last night for lunch today is turning out to be every bit the cornucopia of fantastic flavours I was expecting
< Tapir> delish
< julia> Tapir: yeah
< julia> lol there is no way to read that sandwich sentence not in mark-voice

13:54 < julia> guys i went all the way to dunnes and forgot sugar!!
13:55 < WEH> you mentaller
13:55 < julia> so now i have to go out again for a teeny bit of sugar :'(
13:55 < julia> these better be the best cupcakes eva
13:55 < stesh> julia: the Irish thing would be to ask your neighbour 'for the lend of some sugar'
13:55 < sarah> just use nutella where it says sugar in the recipe 
13:55 < sarah> nom
14:06 < Tapir> Nikki's black neighbours keep coming around to do that, I guess that means they've fully integrated
14:06 < Tapir> what they use it for I don't know, probably making crystal meth or something

(00:49) < Tapir> and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong

01:29 < snappieT> "The head of government signs a law that significantly increases taxes on the poorest members of society."
01:29 < snappieT> MY KINDA QUIZ

01:31 < Tapir> like...this is something that some of the smartest people in all 
               of civilisation have written volumes on, and disagree, and I'm 
               supposed to encapsulate my thoughts on it in one shitty box
01:32 < Tapir> this quiz is immoral
01:32 < Tapir> and contrary to christmas

01:34 < snappieT> you see some skobe being mugged by other skobes
01:34 < snappieT> do you run to his rescue
01:34 < nosmo> "Those poor people aren't being given enough Opportunity! I must remove their access to infrastructure" 

01:34 < Tapir> yeah, obviously I'm not going to because I'd be terrified of being stabbed
01:34 < Tapir> like, I'm not Spinoza
01:34 < Tapir> not yet

01:35 < snappieT> "A rich banker arranges his financial affairs so he hardly pays any tax."
01:35 < snappieT> see, that's "wrong" but fair fucking play for working the system
01:35 < snappieT> the system is at fault, not him (imo, ofc)
01:35 < nosmo> hahaha
01:35 < nosmo> Don't worry, you'll be there some day
01:35 < nosmo> just keep upholding his rights

01:38 < Tapir> What the fuck is this I need audio
01:38 < Tapir> I fucking watching hitler on the telly innit

01:40 < julia> stroan: you pick how disgusted you are towards them, nhow angry, how much you would avoid interacting with them, and how much you would punish them
01:41 < inky> A man receives a donation to cleft.ie as a Christmas gift.
01:41 < snappieT> How wrong is it if he seeks a refund on the donation?

02:01 < Tapir> izzit time to do the political compass again :]
02:01 < snappieT> "how recently have you watched a hitler movie?"

16:24 < Tapir> so what's Queens like
16:25 <+kevinly> like tcd a lot
16:25 <+kevinly> a lot like tcd
16:25 <+kevinly> nicer even tbh
16:25 <@scott> full of bloody proddies wha'
16:25 <+kevinly> hasn't been ruined
16:26 <+kevinly> more proddies than csll 
16:26 < Tapir> what's your favourite so far
16:27 <+kevinly> hard to say
16:27 <+kevinly> different experiences
16:29 <+kevinly> i'd say queen's will be
16:29 <+kevinly> Tapir: how's maths
16:29 <+kevinly> or tp or whatever faggotry victorian subject you're doing
16:29 < Tapir> TP yeah
16:29 < Tapir> it's great
16:30 < Tapir> been in the library from 9am to 10pm two days in a row now, makes me feel pretty good about myself
16:30 < kopf> imagining kevinly as a dentist's nurse
16:30 < kopf> :')
16:30 <+kevinly> Tapir: sure med students do that 6 days a week
16:31 <+kevinly> kopf: what do you work as?
16:31 < kopf> do they not have any lectures?
16:31 <+kevinly> in zurich is it?
16:31 <+kevinly> kopf: most odn't go, work from ppt and mp3 and books
16:32 < kopf> cool
16:32 <+kevinly> what do u woprk as
16:32 < Tapir> don't think I could deal with the rote memorisation involved in being a med student, it would make my brain bleed
16:32 < kopf> kevinly: i'm a dentist
16:33 <+kevinly> Tapir: some curricula are pbl not rote-learning
16:33 <+kevinly> those admittedly there is a lot to know
16:33 <+kevinly> ppl usually odn't die when you forget the 5 proofs for a theorem
16:33 <+kevinly> kopf: you're a dirty filthy liar
16:33 <+kevinly> you probably don't have a real job
16:34 <+kevinly> but you blagged your way into doing something that's a waste of time but you get paid ofr
16:35 < kopf> what consitutes a real job
16:35 <+kevinly> if i told you i'd be doing you a disservic
16:35 <+kevinly> you need to come to the conclusion yourself
16:35 <+kevinly> you'll thank me in the long run
16:36 <+kevinly> jobless kopf but on someone's payroll
16:36 <+kevinly> should get into politics kopf 
16:36 <+kevinly> would suit ur personality
