[19:23] <GoldenSandslash> I never called you stupid, so you don't need to defend yourself.
[19:23] <&Lex> you have already proven that when the information is right here, right in front og you, you cant be bothered to retain it
[19:24] <GoldenSandslash> Yeah, cause half the time it's not helpful information, so why bother?
[19:24] <GoldenSandslash> It just makes since that if I
[19:24] <GoldenSandslash> am not going to use something, I shouldn't work to learn it.
[19:24] <GoldenSandslash> (Hit enter too early, sorry for the weird split)
[19:24] <GoldenSandslash> It's just a wasted effort if I do that.
[19:25] <&Lex> its not effort to retain things that youre already around
[19:25] <&Lex> Its like refusing to learn a language when everyone around you speaks it
[19:25] <GoldenSandslash> Right, name one scenario that will realistically come up in my life that would require me to know how an IRC works.
[19:26] <&Lex> stupitiy, not ignorance... huge, major, difference
[19:26] <GoldenSandslash> ...
[19:26] <GoldenSandslash> What does that have to do with anything?
[19:26] <GoldenSandslash> I missed the connection between the definition of "stupid" and "learning how an IRC works."
[19:27] <buffarama-tablet> programming does, especially if that's a part of the target group
[19:28] <GoldenSandslash> I'm not a programmer though.
[19:28] <Inaba> I am!
[19:28] <GoldenSandslash> So I don't *need* to know that.
[19:28] <Inaba> >:#
[19:28] <Inaba> >:3
[19:28] <&Lex> Well, lets see, when youre gonna use it in life... how about now/
[19:28] <&Lex> ?*
[19:29] <GoldenSandslash> Yes, Lexy, because I TOTALLY need to know how IRC works just to be able to use it. [/sarcasm]
[19:29] <&Lex> to be able to use it the most efficiatnly you do
[19:30] <~mainstreet> It does help. But it's not stupid to not know necessarily.
[19:30] <~mainstreet> It's just not doing the best for yourself.
[19:30] <GoldenSandslash> Yeah, that's what the Help Room is for.
[19:30] <buffarama-tablet> properly, irc works, yes. ircd, not so much. and there is a difference
[19:30] <GoldenSandslash> Why bother with the best? This is satisfactory enough.
[19:31] <&Lex> why bother at all if you dont strive for the best?
[19:31] <GoldenSandslash> Because the reward for getting halfway is still appealing.
[19:32] * &Lex snorts
[19:32] <Cockroach_> I don't even try at irc
[19:32] <Cockroach_> I just install the program and put in where I want to go and go
[19:32] <&Lex> theres no point in doing anything at less that 110%
[19:32] <GoldenSandslash> Yep.
[19:32] <&Lex> not ever
[19:32] <~mainstreet> ...Um, love.
[19:32] <GoldenSandslash> Uh, no.
[19:33] <~mainstreet> I rarely do things at more than 100%.
[19:33] <~mainstreet> Just sayin'.
[19:33] <Cockroach_> yes, that's a good way to get hurt!
[19:33] <GoldenSandslash> Sometimes the reward for getting halfway is worth it, but the reward for the full way is not.
[19:33] * &Lex blinks
[19:33] <buffarama-tablet> boring classes get barely 5-10%, sister-mine…
[19:33] <Cockroach_> diminishing returns and all that
[19:34] <GoldenSandslash> Hypothetical Scenario, Lexy. If someone says to you, "Hey, I'll give you a thousand dollars if you kiss me, and if you have sex with me, I'll give you an additional dollar." Chances are you don't go the whole way.
[19:34] * &Lex shakes head
[19:34] <Cockroach_> I would
[19:35] <&Lex> i wouldnt, not for a billion dollars... thats not something that can be bought
[19:36] <GoldenSandslash> Sex? Yeah, I completely agree. Not worth a billion dollars.
[19:36] <GoldenSandslash> Kissing? I'd definitely do it.
[19:36] * &Lex goes and curls up in her corner
[19:37] * ~mainstreet snuggles Lex
[19:37] <Inaba> Goldie~ you're making her feel bad, stop it
[19:37] <&Lex> ok, fine. Youre all fucking argeing with him. NICK Can i please leave this channnel
[19:37] <Inaba> Or else
[19:37] <Inaba> D:<
[19:37] <&Lex> DO NOT TOUCH ME
[19:37] <~mainstreet> I'm not agreeing with him >>
[19:37] <GoldenSandslash> Lexy: You're a free being. You can leave if you choose to.
[19:37] <Inaba> o 3o
[19:37] <GoldenSandslash> Nick doesn't make your decisions for you. Or rather, he shouldn't.
[19:38] <&Lex> GSS you do not understand, and dont care to learn, so shut the fuck up
[19:39] <GoldenSandslash> Am I the only one who thinks this is weird? Like, not having self-control over her decisions.
[19:40] <GoldenSandslash> mainstreet: What did you do, contractually obligate her to join your network?
[19:40] <~mainstreet> I have no idea.
[19:40] <~mainstreet> I'm just trying to not start any more issues than I already have.
