@thelastgherkin Oh hay there! How's it going? :3
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:25:52 UTC from web-
@pinhooves Hungyyyyyyy. How are you?
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:30:46 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Tired from work. I was borrowing my dad's shoes, since I don't have my own work shoes. I. Was. DYING standing up for 4 hours straight.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:32:11 UTC from web-
@pinhooves Aww. What's your job again?
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:36:53 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Courtesy Clerk at a grocery store. We were having a tour around the new store, learning what we're supposed to do. It doesn't open until the 9th. My dad's work shoes really suck. :c
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:38:02 UTC from web-
@pinhooves Courtney Cox at a grocery store, you say?
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:41:05 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin What now?
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:41:42 UTC from web-
@pinhooves Oh, Courtesy Clerk! Sorry, I didn't have my glasses on.

@thelastgherkin Apparently we're not allowed post innuendo anymore. So sayeth the great campaigner for Freedom of Speech, Cabal.
-
@ceruleanspark But that's actually impossible. The whole point of innuendo is that it's something suggestive but not explicit. Does he want us to not say anything at all for fear of it being taken out of context?
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:31:20 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin It's not about innuendo, but purely sexual talk.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:32:15 UTC from web-
@nerthos My whole shtick is that I don't do that!
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:37:11 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Yeah, you're one of the four ponies in here that manage to make it funny.

@thelastgherkin Straight from the idiots mouth: http://rainbowdash.net/notice/809336 (I'm the only one that finds the idea of starting a post with the words "love and tolerance" and then refusing to tolerate love amusing, right?)
-
@ceruleanspark I just noticed that. Does sound very ridiculous.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:34:28 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark It's not love, it's virtual copulation!
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:34:34 UTC from web-
@nerthos He's talking about what Dragon and Flaxx get up to, which is not even remotely that.
-
@ceruleanspark It IS actually quite creepy.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:36:23 UTC from web-
@nerthos It's also totally harmless.
-
@ceruleanspark I know I'm a medieval zealot, but in some cases it's depraved.

@ceruleanspark It wouldn't be the first time the words 'love and tolerance' are misused around this fandom. I have a strong belief that no-one actually understands what they mean.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:40:04 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin I'm still not even convinced he speaks english. I think he's actually an AI running a chinese room type app who just happens to join together english words in a way that make sense. He doesn't actually know what he's saying.
-
@ceruleanspark You mean @cabal is a bot???
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:45:39 UTC from web-
@neuroaster Yeah. Inventing him is how @PurpleTinker got her cutie mark
-
@ceruleanspark But can a bot be the founder of a website such as this one?
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:47:30 UTC from web-
@neuroaster YES.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:47:48 UTC from web -
@neuroaster Can a computer use a computer? Yes they can!
-
-
@ceruleanspark The fun part about this ridiculous assertion is that it's basically impossible to disprove. Or prove. It's like god!
-
@ceruleanspark The second most fun part about is that he'll probably take it offensively.
-
@ceruleanspark I personally don't think there's anything wrong with being a supercomputer. Some of my best friends are supercomputers!
-
@ceruleanspark You mean he's super? Like in superman? We're doomed.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:52:13 UTC from web-
@nerthos Even worse, what if he's like Agent Smith? http://ur1.ca/6fmeh
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:55:06 UTC from web-
@neuroaster That would be actually fun. I don't mind having to fight with guys in sunglasses for survival.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:56:48 UTC from web -
@neuroaster Or one of the AI's from the Halo series! Cabal USED to be a human, but he died, so Tinker imaged his brain and created an AI from his neural patterns!
-
@ceruleanspark Or maybe he's like Tex whereby he's an AI created from another AI's memories fo a dead person!
-
@ceruleanspark Does that means he's sexy as Cortana?
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 09:59:08 UTC from web-
@nerthos I like that we somehow only used good AI's as examples. No one said GlaDOS or HAL9000
-
@ceruleanspark GlaDOS cabal? I like that. LeT'S StaRt TeSTiNg!
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 10:04:25 UTC from web-
@nerthos What is he even testing? How long it takes before people notice that he's actually a giant computer in a secret underground facility underneath Tinkers Lab?
-
@ceruleanspark Could be. Or how long takes people to look behind his façade of freedom of speech and found errors like the love and tolerance one. Or maybe how much work can the mods and the site handle before collapsing.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 10:08:13 UTC from web-
@nerthos Being a mod isn't actually that much work. Aside from deleting spambots and warning the occasional user who steps outside the rules or the boundaries of good taste, it's not really any different to being a regular user.
-
@ceruleanspark I know, but it's funnier the other way. The only stressing thing about it is sometimes fighting with idiotic users who complain over nothing.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 10:10:39 UTC from web-
@nerthos I've only had a few complaints, and they've all been found valid when I've referred them up the chain to Dwaggy. I've only had to ban one "real" user of the site so far.
-
@ceruleanspark A real used was banned? Lol.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 10:12:23 UTC from web-
@nerthos He was on his last warning for consistently being a jerk. Decided to take the NO WAY MAN I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU THIS IS WHO I AM angry teenager stance on the issue and carry on. Banned by order of the Administration.
-
@ceruleanspark Oh. Now is the moment when I start asking everypony who was that guy.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 10:14:58 UTC from web-
@nerthos Well, because we're classy individuals, we don't make a huge scene about this sort of thing when it happens, so nopony will be able to tell you. They get silenced and sent a DM detailing the appeals procedure, and that's it.
-
@ceruleanspark Ok. Now to find out the hard way. Give me a month and I'll know.
Wednesday, 07-Dec-11 10:18:44 UTC from web-
@nerthos The only person who could find out unequivocally is Tinker, by doing a SELECT FROM users WHERE user_status = silenced
-
@ceruleanspark No, not the "doing things that requires admin permissions", I mean "being an immense idiot and finding out after a month of work and lurking" The key is the prize not justifying the work.

@thelastgherkin That could be an actor hired by the AI and paid using money he made by manipulating the stock market!
