00:01.05Charles_MurrayThis being a professional, practicing Indian professor of economics and critic of modern practices of economic development
00:02.12DrodoEmpireRight
00:03.05Charles_MurrayTLDR: He's trying to think of ways that development can be set up such that it can help people out of poverty
00:03.20DrodoEmpireRight, perfectly reasonable
00:06.23Wormy_DrodoEmpire:  We have our own version of rednecks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpxCDjJwUXg
00:07.03DrodoEmpireolol
00:07.18DrodoEmpireYeah here in NS we've got people from the trailer park and the countryside. XD
00:13.01Monet_2Wormy_: Looking at that accent map, I think I have a typical Oxford accent.
00:13.12Monet_2No surprise really
00:15.14Monet_2<PROTECTED>
00:15.28Monet_2<PROTECTED>
00:16.02DrodoEmpirelol
00:16.29Wormy_I think we used 'int' in Derbyshire
00:17.03Monet_2Well northern Berkshire is mostly farms.
00:17.53Wormy_"I DINT do et! (didn't)
00:18.10DrodoEmpirehur
00:20.09Monet_2<PROTECTED>
00:20.10Wormy_"Ei up mi duck" is a common greeting especially in Nottinghamshire
00:20.32The_RandomnessThat's bizarre, to me at least

00:23.41Wormy_I stayed in Yorkshire on a boat for a while, pickedd up the accent, and my mum scolded me for that, even though Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire words were fine to use
00:24.25Wormy_Then again, these countries are so close the ialects are sort of relatable
00:24.29Wormy_*counties
00:24.38Monet_2I have a Yorkshire born-and-bred grandmother
00:25.12DrodoEmpireHi DinoHunter
00:25.29Wormy_hi
00:25.30TheDinoHunterHi Drodo
00:25.54Monet_2So I was exposed to Southern pronounciations like "grahs", and Northern pronounciations like "mam" and "bouke"
00:27.21Monet_2Though my dialect is mostly Southern BBC English.
00:27.59Wormy_There's some accents I don't like
00:28.07Wormy_Luton accent is ugly
00:28.35Wormy_Not sure I like Liverpool or Birmingham accents either
00:31.53Monet_2Not sure if there's any British Isles accents I don't like
00:34.46Wormy_"Mama" and "nanna" are common words for Granda in the East Midlands, but we at least don't use "mam".  Instead our "U" is very prounced
00:35.31Wormy_in use https://youtu.be/toiFtvi3gAE?t=59s
00:37.21TechnobliteratorWormy_  Not sure I like Liverpool or Birmingham accents either
00:37.23Technobliterator;_;
00:37.27Technobliterator;___;
00:37.58Wormy_Even Birminghamites don't like their accent!
00:38.12TechnobliteratorThis is not far from the truth
00:38.40Wormy_It's not as bad the Luton one
00:38.52Technobliteratoroh god yeah

00:45.57Monet_2There is a hint of posh in the South I agree.
00:48.21Wormy_This guy has s stronger (ollder) Derby accent https://youtu.be/pz5YvuVRhB8?t=1m35s
00:49.09Wormy_This is younder Derby accent https://youtu.be/hxQcERC1tmk?t=36s
00:49.13Wormy_*younger
00:50.51DrodoEmpireI hear that accent a lot from like videos in the UK
00:54.18Monet_2We're a very diverse bunch :)

00:58.01Monet_2<PROTECTED>
00:59.37Monet_2Yorkshire might be a bit like an English Texas thinking about it.
01:00.12Monet_2Far from the capital, largest county by far, locals have a really distinct accent, and much of th county is ope nspace.
01:00.43Monet_2But it's very lovely open space.
01:01.20DrodoEmpireTrue
01:01.34DrodoEmpireAre they particularly religious/well-armed? :p
01:02.11Wormy_Yes
01:02.25DrodoEmpireAh lol
01:02.31Wormy_But they are famed for their hospitality
01:02.43Wormy_And have lots of sub accents
01:02.46DrodoEmpireSeems like every country has that odd region
01:03.00The_Randomnessyeehaw
01:03.04Wormy_There are odder regions, i.e. East Anglia
01:03.11Wormy_They still horse and cart industry
01:03.18Monet_2I'd say England's *real* "odd region" is East ANglia yeah
01:03.21DrodoEmpireOh wow
01:03.36Monet_2East Anglia is like...Idunno.
01:03.47DrodoEmpireI mean the old horse and buggy is nice but I never figured there was still a serious market
01:04.05Wormy_c https://youtu.be/UTVwdv9Pzo8?t=2m40s
01:04.23Wormy_Then again that video is the late 80's
01:05.44Monet_2I mostly know East Anglia as this wierd county no one really talks about.
01:05.45Wormy_The Salisbury Plain is strange place too
01:06.00DrodoEmpireThe accent's oddly nice to listen to
01:06.22Wormy_I personally think the Cornish are very different to rest of England too
01:06.53DrodoEmpireOh?
01:07.25Technobliteratorwell, finally some good news from the US election
01:07.26Wormy_Accents and attitudes
01:07.29TechnobliteratorTed Cruz drops out
01:07.31Technobliteratorwhoooooooooo
01:07.42DrodoEmpireReally?
01:07.53TekDroidIndeed
01:07.57DrodoEmpireWow
01:08.00Wormy_When the Naked Rambler walked through the country, well naked, noboidy in Cornwal batted an eye
01:08.08DrodoEmpireHad to go back into hiding, FBI's onto him <.<
01:08.10TekDroidI'm surprised as well.
01:08.30TekDroidIt means Trump is effectively uncontested other than Kaisch
01:08.31DrodoEmpireWormy_: wat
01:08.32Wormy_He's returned to his lair in the Earth's centre
01:08.52TechnobliteratorTrump winning the GOP nomination was a given anyway
01:08.54Wormy_Yeah there is this guy who keeps trying to walk from end to the other naked
01:09.00The_RandomnessYeah, it's good that Ted Cruz is out of the campaign, but Trump is still a thing, unfortunately
01:09.03TechnobliteratorIt's just down to if the FBI indicts Clinton and Sanders wins
01:09.11Wormy_He gets arrested more often the further North he goes, especially Scotland
01:09.14Technobliteratorotherwise, it's Clinton vs Trump
01:09.21TekDroidAt this point it's just seeing if Trump gets the majority of if the GOP does a brokered convention.
01:09.32DrodoEmpireWormy_: olol
01:10.00Wormy_Monet, Drodo:  East Anglia style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFBoeZm7-u4
01:10.20Monet_2I'm going to miss Obama.
01:10.25TekDroidTechnobliterator: Clinton vs Trump makes me glad I'm not American.
01:10.44TheDinoHunterLucky
01:11.02TechnobliteratorI really badly wanted Sanders to win
01:11.07TekDroidThough also makes me fear for our southern (and western) borders.
01:11.15TechnobliteratorBut the DNC basically suppressed turnout and turned badly on him to stop that from happening
01:11.24The_Randomnessayy_lmao
01:11.32TechnobliteratorI'm basically forced to become an American for job opportunities, but Canada is looking more appealing
01:11.32DrodoEmpireWormy_: "Norfolk stoyle"
01:11.48The_RandomnessI tend to greatly dislike anything that implies conspiracy
01:11.50TekDroidYour top two candidates on both sides consist of crazy, crazier, corrupt as f***, and Sanders.
01:11.56The_Randomnessbut I'm not feeling the bern
01:12.18TechnobliteratorThat's not a conspiracy
01:12.24TheDinoHunterTekDroid: that is the truth
01:12.37Monet_2Technobliterator: Evidence?
01:12.41DrodoEmpireTech: There used to be a lot of good jobs out west, but ever since oil took a bit of a plunge...
01:12.47TechnobliteratorWhat evidence do you need ._.
01:12.56The_Randomnessyes it is, you're implying that the DNC purposefully suppressed voter turnout in order to get "shillary" to win
01:12.57TechnobliteratorClosed primaries suppress turnout
01:13.05Technobliteratorthe thing in Arizona and New York was a joke
01:13.16TechnobliteratorLiterally every media outlet gave Sanders little to no coverage
01:13.26DrodoEmpireYeah there was likely some form of corruption going on
01:13.27TechnobliteratorOr spinned everything to be in favour of Clinton
01:13.32TechnobliteratorThis is right in front of you
01:13.44Monet_2Alright alright
01:13.48TechnobliteratorThey purposefully skewed things because they know who their nominee should be
01:14.04Monet_2I know that every US media group does that
01:14.18TechnobliteratorI just think that if they had given more even exposure to both of them, then Bernie would be in the lead, so I do not think this has been even close to fair
01:14.31TechnobliteratorThen again, on the flip side, on most of the internet, the reverse is true
01:14.37Wormy_That reminds me, I've lost respect for Corbyn now totally
01:14.37Technobliteratorit's basically a Bernie circlejerk
01:14.41The_Randomnessyeah
01:14.44The_RandomnessAnd that's why I hate this
01:15.10The_Randomnessbecause it's mostly "dae feel the bern" and "fuck shillary"
01:15.23DrodoEmpireWell don't let the fact something's annoying blind you to what's actually happening
01:15.23TechnobliteratorDid you know Clinton had spent $1 million on a "correct the record" program to pay people to troll for her? :p
01:15.27DrodoEmpireThat's the opposite reaction
01:15.28Monet_2Trump's got no problems because he *owns* a large media group.
01:15.37TechnobliteratorNo, that's nothing to do with it
01:15.40TechnobliteratorThe media are against Trump
01:15.44TechnobliteratorBut he gives them good ratings
01:15.51Technobliteratorso they give him lots of free media
01:15.55Wormy_He will not admit Antisemitism is a problem in the Labour party, and use the excuse that it's a Blairite distraction.  Sure, the Blairites will be doing that, but that doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.
01:16.28Monet_2I'm going to take a step back actually. My awareness of what's going on in the States is rather spotty.
01:16.30TekDroidI just find the primary system as a whole broken. Scratch that, your entire two party electoral system is inherently broken.
01:16.41TechnobliteratorYes, first past the post is godawful
01:16.45Monet_2Largely because my attention is on other goings-on
01:16.56Technobliteratoroh well, guess I'm going to be living in a country controlled by Trump soon
01:17.08DrodoEmpireWell if we vote in Daddy, he'll build that wall, get rid of the parties, and everything will be fabulous <.<
01:17.17TekDroidHell, even the winner takes all of a whole state instead of proportional.
01:17.32TechnobliteratorProportional is how the dems do it
01:17.46TechnobliteratorThe DNC primary was a mess
01:18.07TekDroidActually I started rambling about the electoral college there, sorry.
01:18.23TechnobliteratorIt was already set up for a Hillary win, they honestly had never planned to go beyond a few more states before everyone else had dropped out
01:18.27Monet_2The main thing I'm taking away is that thanks to the exponensial expansion of mass media, we dug this hole of "Trump for president"
01:18.28Technobliteratorthe RNC primary was a bigger mess
01:18.51Technobliteratorit was just millions of people fighting amongst themselves to try and stop Trump winning
01:18.53Technobliteratorand utterly failing
01:19.06TechnobliteratorTrump just made them look like such idiots
01:19.08Technobliteratorbecause they are
01:19.17DrodoEmpireJust let daddy make america great again >.>
01:19.21Monet_2Modern American culture means unless you're a raving lunatic, no one will pay attention.
01:19.34DrodoEmpireMonet: Or otherwise eccentric
01:20.11Monet_2Yeah
01:20.34Monet_2The 21st century president has to be entertaining or no one cares.
01:20.41TheDinoHunterTruth
01:21.31Technobliteratorbut at least Obama was charimastic
01:21.35Technobliteratorand a genuinely cool guy
01:21.48The_Randomnessthanks obama
01:21.51TekDroidYou can blame the existence of primaries in general on that. The nature of them favours more radical candidates.
01:22.02TechnobliteratorYeah, like McGovern
01:22.03DrodoEmpireYeah he had a good personality the voters liked that
01:22.06Technobliteratorwho was just totally unelectable
01:22.15DrodoEmpire*and the voters
01:22.22TechnobliteratorObama had great ideas as well, just none of them got through
01:22.33Technobliteratoreither because he started listening to donors or because Congress blocked him
01:22.44DrodoEmpireThankfully, he also had good policies that Congress didn't like
01:22.49DrodoEmpireUnfortunately
01:23.22TekDroidLet me rephrase that, their more closed nature causes primaries to promote radical candidates
01:24.10Technobliteratorthis election cycle is so depressing
01:24.27Technobliteratorwhy does it have to last for so freaking long
01:24.30DrodoEmpire^
01:25.15Monet_2Here in the UK we had 1-3 months of campaigns, the elections themselves and we were all done.
01:25.24Technobliteratoryeah in the UK we're awful
01:25.30Technobliteratorbecause of, again, first past the post
01:25.36Technobliteratorand even worse politicians
01:25.41Monet_2That's not my point
01:26.23Monet_2I regret saying that now.
01:26.54TechnobliteratorI literally hate every single party at this point, that's why I'm not voting on Thursday
01:27.00Technobliteratorthey can all burn for all I care \o/
01:27.23The_Randomnessyeah, and not voting sure will help things
01:27.31The_Randomnessbecause my vote doesn't make a difference, right?
01:27.42DrodoEmpire^
01:27.42TechnobliteratorThe_Randomness, it really doesn't with first past the post
01:27.51DrodoEmpireStop being so edgy Tech
01:27.54The_Randomness^
01:27.56TechnobliteratorThe more you express your preference, the less representative it becomes
01:27.58DrodoEmpireIt does, its just a bad system
01:28.06The_RandomnessAnd god damn this channel has become a massive circlejerk
01:28.06TechnobliteratorAnd please find another word other than "edgy"
01:28.31Monet_2What scares me about 'what does one vote matter?' is when hundreds of thousands think the same thing.
01:28.41DrodoEmpireWell no, because you're trying too hard and you don't really get it
01:28.43DrodoEmpire:p
01:28.46Wormy_I question whether the alternative of proportionate voting is actually any better
01:28.54TechnobliteratorNo, it's not
01:28.55Wormy_In fact it enpowers parties like UKIP
01:29.03TechnobliteratorSingle transferable vote would be better
01:29.05DrodoEmpireFPTP isn't a great system, but your vote still matters
01:29.14TechnobliteratorMy vote doesn't matter at all
01:29.22TechnobliteratorAnd I don't think any of the parties have earned it
01:29.33DrodoEmpireIn fact it does- Its just everybody else's matters just as much and you don't like that idea
01:29.43TechnobliteratorNope
01:29.45DrodoEmpireThen vote for some smalltime independent
01:29.58TechnobliteratorYeah, we have smalltime independents, they're useless
01:30.03DrodoEmpireAnd push for voting reform instead of complaining
01:30.07The_Randomness^
01:30.09*** join/#sporewiki Wormy__ (02184654@gateway/web/freenode/ip.2.24.70.84)
01:30.14TechnobliteratorYou're really not going to persuade me to vote for anyone
01:30.28Wormy__Jo's feels are routed in something true however
01:30.38DrodoEmpireThat's fine- don't matter to me
01:31.01DrodoEmpireYou're the one acting, frankly, a little entitled. :p Again, I understand your concerns and your concern is valid
01:31.06TechnobliteratorSo why attack someone for being "edgy" because they feel disenfranchised ._.
01:31.30DrodoEmpireBut the solution *isn't* throwing down the ball and saying "this game's dumb anyway and you're all sheep for doing it!"
01:31.33The_Randomness^
01:31.37Wormy__Our main parties are not that different in policy;  there is an unfair distribution of seats afforded to each party; and some parts of the country aren't even represented.  Our election results in 2015 were the worst on record.
01:31.39DrodoEmpire*That's* pretty edgy
01:31.57TechnobliteratorWhen did I call everyone sheep?
01:32.18Wormy__But the only way to solve is to vote
01:32.33TechnobliteratorI simply said I do not feel any of the current parties have earned my vote
01:32.42TechnobliteratorAnd that the system which perpetuates them is useless
01:32.55TechnobliteratorTherefore, I do not care to put in the effort
01:33.14Wormy__It's not particularly edgy, it actually reflects what a lot of people feel.
01:33.34Monet_2So the solution is removing yourself entirely fro mthe democratic process and complaining to friends.
01:33.36The_RandomnessWormy__: It's horribly pessimistic though and a damaging sentiment
01:34.03TechnobliteratorMy solution is to choose not to vote. It's that simple.
01:34.03Wormy__I agree, and it might have contributed to the overall problem
01:34.30Wormy__We need more young people to vote for a start
01:34.40TechnobliteratorAs long as this country does not make voting punishable by fine, I do not feel any obligation
01:35.14Wormy__You should look into punk Jo
01:35.25Wormy__Stuff like guerilla gardening
01:35.29Technobliterator:P
01:35.37TechnobliteratorThis may not be a bad idea
01:35.46Wormy__People who want to make change through unconventional ways to say the least
01:35.47The_RandomnessThis is just me, but I see something interesting about not participating in the political system, and then complaining about it when things don't go your way.
01:35.55DrodoEmpire^
01:36.00DrodoEmpireAgain, voting reform, and the push for it is always an option
01:36.08The_RandomnessBe the change that you want to see in the world
01:36.14DrodoEmpire^
01:36.14The_RandomnessBecause doing nothing, well, does nothing
01:36.16TechnobliteratorWhy are you acting like I'm complaining because I'm not getting my way?
01:36.21The_RandomnessBecause you are
01:36.44TechnobliteratorThis is nothing to do with the fact that I despise the current government
01:37.02TechnobliteratorThat's only tangentially related
01:37.03DrodoEmpireExcept it does or else you'd vote
01:37.34TechnobliteratorI despise the system that perpetuates its existence, which can never be solved through vote
01:37.48Wormy__Well, we didn't have much choice in 2015 did we?
01:37.53Monet_2Have you ever written to your MP?
01:37.54TechnobliteratorBecause politicians are not public servants, they're only interested in their own power
01:38.03The_RandomnessZZZ
01:38.18TechnobliteratorThere will be no change, because it does not benefit them to change
01:38.30TechnobliteratorSo I have absolutely no interest in contributing to the process
01:38.35The_RandomnessAlright, now it does sound like what Drodo said earlier
01:38.36DrodoEmpireYeah, let's go grab an assault rifle and storm parliament!
01:38.42DrodoEmpireRevolution now!
01:38.44The_RandomnessDrodoEmpire: dae revolution always works
01:38.55TechnobliteratorWhen did I say anything about that .____.
01:38.58Wormy__No-one mentioned revolution
01:39.02DrodoEmpireFeel the bern! Socialism! Behead the royal family!
01:39.13Wormy__Abd actually, most of our politicians are shitty
01:39.21DrodoEmpireI'm being a dick now, but you know.
01:39.28TechnobliteratorYes, you are.
01:39.36The_Randomnessyeah, that's going a bit far
01:39.50DrodoEmpireBah, alright
01:39.58The_RandomnessBut not participating only makes the issue worse
01:40.06TechnobliteratorMy point is that nothing's going to change, so I feel no obligation to be involved
01:40.07DrodoEmpireIn all seriousness I do find it hypocritical
01:40.20The_RandomnessAs fewer people vote, the less representative political representation becomes
01:40.22DrodoEmpireIt won't change if you continue not to do anything
01:40.33DrodoEmpireWhat you're doing is making the issue worse
01:40.35TechnobliteratorIt won't change if I do anything either
01:40.35The_RandomnessThe system *depends on your participation* to be successful
01:40.44TechnobliteratorI don't have the power to do anything
01:40.52DrodoEmpireYou do, its a democracy
01:41.02DrodoEmpireYour inaction- The inaction of everybody- Has lead to this
01:41.04Wormy__Well, it's not changing very much as it currently stands, so there is a problem.  But its always better to vote than not
01:41.16DrodoEmpireYou have only yourself and your countrymen to blame for the current state of affaira
01:41.18DrodoEmpire*s
01:41.32DrodoEmpireFor letting politics become corrupt and detached
01:41.38Wormy__I'm being the mediator here yes, I see both sides as being right in some sense but lacking context of the other
01:41.55Wormy__No
01:42.20Wormy__The votes made by British people did not match the seats respresented in Paliament
01:42.28TechnobliteratorYes
01:42.36Wormy__There is a difference between what British people want and what we get
01:42.42TechnobliteratorIt was a complete joke
01:43.03DrodoEmpireThat's right, because the British people became indifferent
01:43.08Wormy__Are countrymen to blame here?
01:43.22TechnobliteratorI am of the opinion that a party should have to earn my vote. I do not feel that any of them have.
01:43.30DrodoEmpireYes, as a whole, yes. It has been *allowed* to become this. But it can change through action
01:43.45Wormy__But its not true of the last election?
01:43.46TechnobliteratorNo it can't
01:43.47DrodoEmpireNot even just voting- Political activism, voting reform, etc.
01:44.00DrodoEmpireAnd that's is the *exact* sort of cynicism that led to this, Tech
01:44.01TechnobliteratorThere's basically nothing we can do
01:44.05DrodoEmpireIt feeds into itself
01:44.10Technobliteratorbut either way, I'm tired
01:44.22Technobliteratorgnight
01:44.25DrodoEmpireAnd the fact that you have the gall to say you can't do anything in a western liberal democracy is very telling :p
01:44.33DrodoEmpireNo offense...
01:44.45DrodoEmpireNight.
01:45.05Wormy__I'm pro liberal deocracy and open society but that means fighting to keep it open.  Its not as open as it could be.
01:45.24Wormy__I don't know how the issue will be solved however
01:46.05The_RandomnessWormy__: We can try to improve it though, even if the solution isn't clear
01:46.06Monet_2Its fighting entropy really.
01:46.13DrodoEmpireThere's no easy or clear solution- Only very adamant and very large-scale political action from the citizenry to reassert democracy can do it
01:46.35The_RandomnessAnd that means get out the vote, gdi
01:46.35Monet_2A fair democratic process is not something you earn and can live with, one has ot fight to keep it clean.
01:46.38Wormy__Viva la revolution!
01:46.58The_RandomnessThat's just burning down the house you live in
01:47.15DrodoEmpire^ Revolutions are highly volatile
01:48.40Wormy__I'm only joking
01:48.57DrodoEmpireRight. >.<
01:49.01Wormy__But thats what "re-asserting democracy" sounds like
01:49.28DrodoEmpireWith any luck, no
01:49.47Wormy__The problem is, this change could take decades
01:49.51DrodoEmpireIts a terribly vague phrase- But no doubt it'd result in a *lot* of scandals, and a *lot* of politicians gone
01:49.52Wormy__Honestly
01:50.07Wormy__There is a reason Techno feels the way she does
01:50.21The_RandomnessYes, I understand disillusionment
01:50.26DrodoEmpireIt could, but why be so selfish to do this only for ourselves?
01:50.28The_RandomnessBut all it does is hamper things
01:50.35DrodoEmpireWe do have our children to stand up for, after all.
01:50.50DrodoEmpireOr rather, the next generation
01:50.52Wormy__So we have criticise the system and the politicians too, and not just the countrymen.
01:51.09The_RandomnessRight, but who put them there?
01:51.13DrodoEmpireWell right, and I do- But the main cause *is* an indifferent populace
01:51.21The_RandomnessWe have no-one to blame but ourselves
01:51.23DrodoEmpireThat must change for everything else to
01:51.26Wormy__I don't know what that can be, some people think proportional voting will work.  But I;m sceptical.
01:51.42DrodoEmpireThere're a lot of odd systems, but I'd take anything over FPTP
01:52.04DrodoEmpireWell, besides hereditary rule. :p
01:52.28Wormy__Why are you so hesitant to criticise the system?
01:52.36DrodoEmpireI'm not
01:52.41DrodoEmpireIts just been done to death
01:52.46DrodoEmpireI have something different to add
01:52.53Wormy__Maybe
01:53.38DrodoEmpireThe system's corrupt, it does not represent the people, it has become detached from reality and from the people and is near-oligarchic- assuming it isn't already
01:53.45Monet_2It's easy to be dissatisfied, but it is hard to act on doing something about it.
01:53.53The_Randomness^
01:53.56DrodoEmpireBut the cause for that is indifferent citizenry allowing the ambitions of politicians to go unchecked
01:54.07DrodoEmpireIt need not be that way
01:54.24Wormy__Yeah, I'll agree the fact that less young people vote put a wrench in things
01:54.44Wormy__Russel Brand is partly to blame for that
01:54.46Monet_2There is that. There are plenty of cases where, no matter wh oit is, peopel will vote for the same party tiem and time again.
01:55.07DrodoEmpire^
01:55.13DrodoEmpireAgain, indifference and also tribalism
01:55.15Monet_2some people*
01:56.41Monet_2WHen it comes ot electing MPs, very few vote for the MP that makes sense.
01:56.58Monet_2The vast majority vote for the MP who is part of the party they like.
01:57.13DrodoEmpire^
01:57.35Wormy__well, maybe its because that paty offers something different
01:57.53Wormy__I voted Greens and Labour locally
01:58.06Monet_2Wormy_: That's my point.
01:58.15Wormy__Though fully voting Green would have been a waste
01:58.31Wormy__They at least offer some diversity, whether or not I like them
01:58.36Monet_2You voted for the parties locally, but do you know anything about the Green and Labour candidates you chose?
01:59.21Wormy__Tbh I can't remember.  But the Tories have done worse things in my town
01:59.45Monet_2I know the feeling honestly.
01:59.53Wormy__slashed charities because they didn't believe poor people lived there
02:00.15Wormy__tried to build on a greenbelt
02:00.21Wormy__Would Greens do that?
02:00.26Monet_2My local constituency was Lib-Dem before 2010, we had a candidate who basically drove my hometwon to ruin.
02:00.38Monet_2But I'd still vote Lib-Dem.
02:00.46DrodoEmpirehttps://i.gyazo.com/37bd1b476959b78ba7e51b990b06ef08.png
02:00.53Wormy__I used to be a Lib-Dem
02:00.56DrodoEmpireA little old now but funny
02:01.11Wormy__Quite honestly I think they have become weak
02:01.20The_Randomnesssavage
02:01.26Monet_2I'd vote lib-dem because I know that not every one of them is like that guy.
02:03.02Monet_2You just demonstrated some of the behaviour Drodo suggested, since you referred to the tories as the genral body, and not the local county council.
02:03.21Wormy__They are the local council
02:03.39DrodoEmpireHuh?
02:03.54DrodoEmpireDid I make a good point somewhere? Wha?
02:04.04DrodoEmpireMust've been an accident- What was I referring to?
02:04.24Wormy__Those things I described, were and are opposed by other local MPs
02:04.37DrodoEmpireAhh, yes
02:04.40DrodoEmpireNow I see
02:04.46Monet_2Wormy_: Here's the page for m local MP http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/kelly-tolhurst/4487
02:06.10Monet_2They're not all hearless, its more of a case-by-case basis.
02:06.27Wormy__Still, if you really dislied the current council body, and had any opportunity to choose an alternative, it is not a bad move to make if one wants change.
02:07.26Monet_2It's not.
02:08.00Monet_2It might be more that I try to avoid partisan thinking.
02:08.04Wormy__I like that people like Corbyn and Sanders had some prominence, whether or not I agree with many of their policies I welcome the fact that they seem different and that can possibly get more people voting
02:08.15The_Randomnessyeah
02:08.43Wormy__However, I now question whether Corbyn is half the man his supporters think he is
02:09.05Wormy__And that once again questions whether the Labour party has really changed on many deep thinga
02:09.14Wormy__Given the Antisemitism row
02:09.34Monet_2Criticism is at the heart of the democratic process.
02:10.40Wormy__Yes, and if he fucks up (not angry) the Labour party, then we could get the same lot of politics again for the next 20 years
02:10.58Wormy__So I'm no optimist here
02:13.46Monet_2There's no easy solution really
02:14.00DrodoEmpire^
02:18.34Monet_2The thing about pessimism is it can jsut as easily perpetuate the issue.
02:18.41DrodoEmpire^
02:18.42DrodoEmpireFor sure
02:18.53Wormy__I agree on that
02:19.59DrodoEmpireIts a horrid feeling, borne from self-pity and irrationality
02:20.47Monet_2That's one of Democracy's biggest problems: For it to work, one must be of sound mind and judgement.
02:21.07Monet_2Crowds, or large numbers of peopel in general, tend to not be that.
02:21.13DrodoEmpire^
02:21.25DrodoEmpireIts a contradiction, but a necessary one really
02:22.08Wormy__I must be in bed
02:22.13Wormy__goodnight
02:22.23DrodoEmpireNight!

16:25.00OluapPlayerif we're lucky
16:26.16Xhoy u do dis
16:30.32OluapPlayerhaw haw
16:32.16TekDroidOh no. Kaisch just dropped out. The Republican Primaries now consist only of Trump. All hail President Trump.
16:33.45XhoOh we're fucked
16:33.46HachimanWould you rather have had the Zodiac Killer as President though
16:34.51MonetEveryone will beg "come back Obama!"
16:35.02HachimanObama can't run again though
16:35.16TekDroidHachiman: Kaisch was still better than the other two. Even though he was in 4th place. XD
16:35.19HachimanAlso no they won't because Obama is rather unpopular in certain regions
16:35.59MonetHe's less of a lunatic than Trump though.
16:36.50MonetI am also aware that presidents can't serve for more than two consecutive terms.

16:55.35OluapPlayerHi
16:55.51Monethi
17:07.16HachimanImperios: I wonder what will become of countries, like the UK, when religious beliefs are overwhelmed or rendered practically extinct by atheism
17:07.33ImperiosWell
17:07.36ImperiosLook at East Asia
17:07.41ImperiosEast Asia is mostly atheist
17:07.50TechnobliteratorKasich dropped out?
17:07.59ImperiosOr the USSR at that
17:08.01Technobliteratoroh well
17:08.02HachimanNot advocating the greatness of atheism mind you, it has been statistically proven that atheism is on a significant rise in the UK
17:08.03ImperiosHi
17:08.09ImperiosWell it makes sense
17:08.17TechnobliteratorGet used to saying President Trump, guys
17:08.32ImperiosWe're like the only Christian country where religion is on the rise
17:08.43ImperiosAnd it is only because we had a low start to begin with
17:08.49ImperiosWhat with commies
17:08.56ImperiosPoland too maybe but that's because they hate Muslims
17:09.10ImperiosAlso, last but not the least
17:09.20ImperiosFedoras everywhere
17:09.36ImperiosMy dream, I love hats
17:09.36HachimanI have seen people speculate that without religion, people will become deprived of reasons to gather together and learn empathy for one another; that if atheism outdoes religion, that communities and individuals will become more lonely and less empathetic
17:09.50ImperiosPerhaps
17:10.02ImperiosReligion serves as a great unifying factor
17:10.16ImperiosBut in its absence other groups of people will emerge
17:10.30MonetAtheism is on the rise, yes, but that doesn't mean irreligiosity wil ltake over.
17:11.12HachimanI feel that one of the issues with atheism taking prominence over religion is that atheist communities will not learn from the more benign and beneficial values religion has brought to people
17:12.48OluapPlayerBoring day
17:13.56TechnobliteratorI think society will continue as normal and very little will change if religion is gone
17:14.04TechnobliteratorIt won't be a big deal

17:16.20Monet"religion's presence or asense is no big deal now" - I don't want ot answer this.
17:16.27XhoTechnobliterator: That's how you start making discussions flamey right there

17:16.53ImperiosHachiman: Actually
17:17.16TechnobliteratorI think it's true. People here generally get triggered or offended by anything

17:18.41ImperiosLike
17:18.48ImperiosChristianic phasers
17:18.52TechnobliteratorIt will mean a lot to individual people, but generally to society as a whole, it will be non-consequential

17:22.35Technobliteratorpfft
17:23.04ImperiosI say this and I am like the most Tumblristic person on the wiki

17:23.29OluapPlayerI don't even know the context of the conversation, I just wish it'd stop
17:23.41ImperiosI think OP says that he does not like discussions about religion because it does not interest him
17:23.44ImperiosRather than being offensive
17:23.49TechnobliteratorYeah, I don't mind thinking that
17:23.51OluapPlayerCorrect

17:24.41ImperiosI agree
17:24.53TechnobliteratorYes, and that's pretty awful. People shouldn't feel like they are walking a minefield because saying the slightest thing wrong can lead to a flame war. : |

17:25.46ImperiosWhat constitutes curing autism though
17:25.54HachimanGetting rid of it hur
17:26.01Technobliteratorit's generally why I don't subscribe to the safe space tumblr attitude
17:26.04ImperiosBut like that's part of someone's personality
17:26.09ImperiosSo I presume like removing its negative effects
17:26.15OluapPlayerAutism has a biological origin
17:26.26OluapPlayerObviously one you can't just 'cure'
17:26.31ImperiosIt's like mental
17:26.34Technobliteratoryeah, but Hachi was joking
17:26.36Technobliterator(I hope)
17:26.38ImperiosTrue that
17:26.51HachimanI have my reservations about the social treatment of autistic people
17:27.21ImperiosWe just kind of ignore that issue
17:27.23HachimanAs an autistic person I feel it is worse to glorify having a disease than telling people that it is not a good thing
17:27.49ImperiosOne thing I know for certain
17:27.51TechnobliteratorI think it's a difficult situation. On the one hand, it's kind of silly to give them preferential treatment. On the other, it's not exactly fair to just tell someone to stfu and deal with their condition.
17:27.51ImperiosI do not treat it as any sort of justification
17:27.58ImperiosFor oneself at least
17:28.23ImperiosIt makes one's actions' understandable, though not excusable unless we're talking about hardline autism
17:28.27TechnobliteratorAnd it's very hard to sympathise with someone who is autistic when you're not autistic yourself
17:28.31TechnobliteratorYep
17:28.52ImperiosI personally seek to overcome its negative effects or somehow circumvent them
17:29.03ImperiosI mean most of it is within one's power
17:29.40HachimanIt's why I won't have children; as I have autism I have an increased percentage of granting autism to my offspring, and I feel no one should have to live with autism given its effects on people and how varied it is
17:30.02XhoHachiman Technobliterator: https://soundcloud.com/turkeychickensandwich/space-prog-noodling shup and listen to me being bored
17:30.38XhoI dunno I got some dystopian cyberpunk feel from doing that
17:30.41Technobliteratorhow long did it take you to come up with this
17:30.45HachimanXho: 2djentle
17:30.48ImperiosNah I'll have kids hur
17:30.49TechnobliteratorI swear you were only working on it like a minute ago
17:30.51Technobliterator0.0
17:30.51XhoI was
17:31.04Technobliteratorthis is nice
17:31.33ImperiosI mean sure my paternal bloodline was unstable, but it was also kind of bright
17:32.23ImperiosXho: That does not feel cyberpunk at all
17:32.25HachimanI have met people who have felt it a responsibility to not have children so that they would not pass on whatever hereditary or potentially disease they have and cause suffering for someone else
17:32.32XhoImperios: metal then
17:32.37ImperiosMetal yes
17:32.48ImperiosIt has connotations of war
17:33.11ImperiosXho: Wait
17:33.23XhoI only ever usually get inspired when I look at visual art or some sort of medium like that
17:33.27ImperiosWhy do I have MLP composers in related tracks
17:33.34Imperiosexaclibur in particular
17:33.35XhoBecause you
17:33.45ImperiosI think it relates to your side
17:33.48HachimanI have Michael Laboufson
17:33.52Imperios2007excalibur2007
17:33.54XhoOh right
17:33.55XhoYeah
17:33.55HachimanAnd some Frederik Thordendal thing
17:34.27ImperiosLabeouf is the brony guy yes
17:34.34ImperiosHe usually does MLP songs remixed with TF2 sounds
17:34.45ImperiosExcalibur that is
17:35.02ImperiosTechnobliterator: TBH I want Trump to win
17:35.13ImperiosJust to see what will happen
17:35.19HachimanThat's bait territory right there
17:35.23TechnobliteratorWell, I don't really want to risk it
17:35.29ImperiosAlso I want to fight American invaders
17:35.32TechnobliteratorBut I'd laugh if he turned out to be an actually good president
17:36.08HachimanI have seen people speculate that Trump is acting the way he is throughout his campaign in order to gain the majority and when he is put into power, he will drop the facade
17:36.22ImperiosI just want America to feel what it is like to live in our world
17:36.35ImperiosThough Sanders will probably do that too
17:36.37HachimanAre you comparing Trump to Putin?
17:36.48ImperiosMore like Russian rulers in general
17:36.54OluapPlayerYeah, fuck people amirite
17:37.21HachimanTo be fair, it's the people that vote him in
17:37.40ImperiosBut these are not people
17:37.44ImperiosThese are Americans
17:37.49TechnobliteratorI think at this point, it's just everyone versus Hillary supporters
17:38.03HachimanI dunno who would be worse, Hillary or Trump
17:38.05ImperiosTechnobliterator Hachiman Xho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBXLfjAVnvA Noone beats our trump though
17:38.10Technobliteratornow that Kasich and Cruz are out, and Trump will win, the GOP side are going to come over to vote for Sanders
17:38.14ImperiosFor us personally? Hillary
17:38.16ImperiosThe bitch hates us
17:38.19OluapPlayerI detest this mentality of "people must suffer for their ancestors's mistakes"
17:38.21OluapPlayerIt's not funny
17:38.43ImperiosWhat do you mean?
17:38.50TechnobliteratorI hate it too, but to be fair
17:38.52TechnobliteratorImp was joking
17:39.09TechnobliteratorEverything he says is hyperbolic : |
17:39.55ImperiosI like Sanders but I do not trust bald Jewish socialists who cannot pronounce the "r" sound
17:40.06ImperiosHe only needs a bronevik
17:40.24ImperiosWell
17:40.28ImperiosArumoured care
17:40.36HachimanI actually came across an interesting topic earlier regarding politicians
17:40.52ImperiosWhatever that thing Lenin used to make speeches is called in your places
17:41.02HachimanIt essentially boiled down to being a good person =/= being a good politician
17:41.17OluapPlayerRegardless IRC is definitely not interesting today
17:41.27*** part/#sporewiki OluapPlayer (badafdcd@gateway/web/freenode/ip.186.218.253.205)
17:41.42ImperiosBut yeah this guy is an American Lenin
17:42.01ImperiosLike Lenin was cool but still kind of shifty
17:42.07ImperiosTechnobliterator: http://s6.pikabu.ru/post_img/big/2014/03/22/6/1395478711_49445503.png And speaking of Lenin
17:42.27Technobliteratorhahahaha
17:42.47Technobliteratoralso, that topic is false
17:43.02TechnobliteratorBernie is an undeniably good person, and has the highest favourability rating of any Senator in the US
17:43.26TechnobliteratorI am of the opinion that, if the election had been fair, he would've basically crushed Hillary already, but it wasn't
17:43.38HachimanI feel it has some grain of truth historically
17:44.05TechnobliteratorMost of the ones who have been remembered haven't been that shady
17:45.21XhoHachiman: wait hold on college days
17:45.32XhoNot 5 days a week then I take it
17:45.40HachimanWednesday through Friday
17:46.14ImperiosSpeaking of America
17:46.32ImperiosSo I watched both Thor movies and the first Iron Man
17:46.39Xhofour
17:47.00ImperiosSo now I watched every single Marvel movie save for Hulk and the next two Iron Mans
17:47.01ImperiosMen
17:47.12ImperiosThing is I am not sure if they are worth watching
17:47.26HachimanIron Man 3 is supposed to be decent
17:47.33ImperiosI only watched elements but Mandarin's speeches are fucking awesome
17:47.49HachimanAnd I'd give Hulk a watch because I personally like Edward Norton
17:47.49ImperiosI shall now say the word "America" the same way
17:48.02ImperiosAh-MERRRRRica
17:49.15TechnobliteratorWhy would you watch both Thor movies ._.
17:49.17Technobliteratorneither are really memorable
17:49.47ImperiosLoki was kind of cool
17:49.53ImperiosThe world itself was interesting
17:49.58XhoLoki is the best villain in the MCU hands down
17:50.00ImperiosThe second one is just weird
17:50.06ImperiosXho: Well he is like their only interesting villain
17:50.07XhoI mean the rest are either all dead or insignificant
17:50.09Xhoc
17:50.18ImperiosUltron was interesting but there was not enough of him
17:50.31XhoUltron was overrated
17:50.31ImperiosAnd he was a bit too quickly introduced
17:50.38ImperiosHe is that kind of villain which needed to be developed over time
17:50.53ImperiosHell they should have made him developed over phase 2
17:51.06ImperiosLike we see a little bit of him in Civil War
17:51.08Imperioswait no
17:51.09HachimanWell, that's the thing; Ultron's part in the comics is quite small by comparison to the rest of the Civil War
17:51.10ImperiosI mean Witner Soldier
17:51.17ImperiosWait
17:51.25ImperiosIs Age of Ultron even based on any particular comic
17:51.28XhoWinter Soldier and Civil War are in the top 5 best films of the MCU
17:51.32HachimanI think so
17:51.54XhoI'd say Civil War is either #2 or #1
17:52.05MonetThere is an Age of Ultron arc.
17:53.11TechnobliteratorI really want to watch Civil War
17:53.18Technobliteratorbut it'll be a week and a bit
17:53.49XhoI'd say the best film in the MCU goes either to Civil War, Avengers 1, Guardians of the Galaxy or Winter Soldier
17:54.10ImperiosThe only weird thing was the whole "IT WAS THE HYDRA ALL ALONG" twist
17:54.15ImperiosIn Winter Soldier that is
17:54.23XhoHAIL HYDRA
17:54.59Hachiman... Isn't Hydra G.I. Joe?
17:55.48HachimanLike correct me if I am wrong because I always get really confused
17:55.54GhelThat's Cobra.
17:56.11HachimanAh
17:58.45XhoSpeaking of mythological animals I wanted to make the Scylla in the Fantasyvetse
17:58.50XhoFantasyverse even
17:59.49XhoThat is one fucked up creature
18:01.48XhoProbably too hard to do in Spore
18:02.26XhoCharybdis on the other hand, easy enough
18:02.33HachimanIsn't it a whirlpool?
18:02.33ImperiosWasn't Scylla a woman
18:02.35ImperiosAt some point
18:02.48HachimanYou could make Scylla a sea witch
18:02.50HachimanWait
18:03.10XhoCharybdis is a whirlpool yeah
18:03.26XhoScylla on the other hand was a woman with tentacles for the lower body and many snapping dog heads at her waist
18:03.27HachimanAs far as I know, Scylla was a giant monster thing
18:04.21Imperios>woman with tentacles
18:04.53Xhodunt u dare
18:05.10GhelI assume it's the snapping dog heads that would make it so difficult in Spore?
18:05.56Xhoyup
18:06.44GhelAnd, of course, you can't avoid making them, otherwise you just have a squid-woman.
18:07.21HachimanCould just give her one dog head
18:07.21ImperiosHachiman: I've been thinking of changing Vila appearance to make them less... dark
18:07.42HachimanImperios: Dark suits them
18:07.46ImperiosLike they look like drow
18:08.03XhoHm
18:08.08XhoNah I'll leave it
18:08.16HachimanXho: https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13174094_1008543539223512_124104197629820256_n.jpg?oh=93601d32441c27eebe3f4212ee18bc6c&oe=579DE4E7 "Pink Guy is up to no good!!"
18:08.22Xhooh no
18:08.28Xhob0ss is back
18:09.27HachimanOh God, imagine if that "Hey Paul!" scene was replaced with Pink Guy
18:09.30Hachiman"ey b0ss!"

18:09.51HachimanImperios: Trigglypuff
18:10.34ImperiosTBH I'd stay away from her
18:10.46ImperiosShe'll probably hook and then dismember me
18:10.51HachimanI like how she advocates for not treating radical feminists and the rest like children via flailing her arms around and screaming
18:11.01ImperiosEspecially if he has Aghanim then she'll even heal from that
18:11.17ImperiosNot to mention her rot
18:11.27XhoHachiman: "TRY GETTING RESERVATIONS AT THE RICE FIELDS NOW, MOTHERFUCKER"
18:11.30ImperiosI would avoid feeding the ganker
18:16.37XhoHm what to do
18:17.26XhoI had to find out what she was saying in that video
18:17.35HachimanCould do another Greek monster
18:17.43XhoTurns out she's repeating "KEEP YOUR HATE SPEECH OFF THIS CAMPUS"
18:17.59XhoGreek monsters hm
18:18.05XhoWell Oluap's done like 80% of them
18:19.03Xho"Laestrygonians"
18:19.09XhoBasically just giant Néva
18:19.16XhoSo Skaurovrn
18:19.19XhoSkaurovirn even
18:19.40XhoBut no all of the Greek monsters appear to have been done
18:20.16XhoWait we haven't done ichthyocentaurs
18:21.34GhelWe don't have most kinds of centaurs besides the standard ones, do we?
18:21.42XhoDon't think s
18:21.43Xhoso
18:21.48HachimanStill gotta find a way to incorporate harpies

18:22.11Quark8Hello.
18:22.24GhelHello.
18:23.09XhoI did want to do some sea monster-like creature for Dalmiric wildlife
18:23.18GhelYou could just do Scylla's necks/arms/tentacles/whatever, since the rest of her is hidden in a rock.
18:23.36XhoI had the idea that because of Talmyr's dark atmosphere most of their creatures grew large
18:23.58XhoAlthough it's hard to think of wildlife for Talmyr
18:24.04HachimanImperios: Imagine if there was a Fantasyverse equivalent to the Holy Grail
18:24.04XhoArctic creatures I guess
18:24.10ImperiosCiykd be

18:25.52XhoDalmiric Narwhal
18:25.55Xhosounds evil
18:26.17XhoHachiman: Wolverine theriocephali sound like some demented cousin of the Korhusn
18:26.52HachimanSmaller but more hostile and possibly more dangerous
18:27.06HachimanNothing would compare to honey badger beastfolk though
18:27.43XhoThat would be a real "WELCOME TO THE ICE FIELDS MOTHERFUCKER" moment

21:43.44HachimanImpyDroid: Fantasyverse Commissars; yay or nay?
21:44.08ImpyDroidfor whom
21:44.09XhoSOMETIMES
21:44.29HachimanI dunno, Empire?
21:46.14ImpyDroidDo not call them actual commissary and I think it could work, perhaps as military chaplains
21:47.06HachimanWhat are standard Imperial soldiers anyway?
21:47.11HachimanI mean, I know we have knights
21:47.24HachimanBut those are like heavy / cavalry
21:47.36ImpyDroidI do not think we have standard *Imperial* soldiers
21:48.23ImpyDroidThere are regional militaries and the Grand Monarch kind of just uses them when needed
21:48.38ImpyDroidThe actual Imperial soldiers are elites
21:49.04ImpyDroidhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Imperial_Justicar.png?useskin=oasis There they are
21:49.16HachimanAh right
21:49.30Charles_MurrayWormy_ Actually no, we were all just commenting on the fact that the IRC was quiet. xD
21:49.47HachimanWhat would be the medieval equivalent of a commissar anyway? You mentioned chaplains
21:51.42ImpyDroidActually wait
21:51.54ImpyDroidNow that I checked there were commissars during the Renaissance
21:52.01Hachimanhttps://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13173874_1589559121334392_7752943914542148351_n.png?oh=9375d5ce2c47951f7558f374e111d70d&oe=57B2EDBC
21:52.09ImpyDroidBut they were used for mercenaries as overseers
21:52.13ImpyDroidTo maintain their loyality
21:54.43ImpyDroidChaplains could be used for maintaining the morale of soldiers
21:54.49ImpyDroidBecause you know religion and the like
21:54.58ImpyDroidNot sure if they actually fought
21:55.38HachimanWell, I imagine Mannazian chaplains know how to fight
21:55.51HachimanMannazian religion is based around Ahmalhrich after all
21:57.04ImpyDroidWouldn't they be more like Norse gothar or something
21:57.35HachimanNorse what now?
21:58.18ImpyDroidAs in Norse pagan priests, what with shrines and the like
21:58.23HachimanOh right
21:58.29ImpyDroidMore a naturale so to speak
21:59.38ImpyDroidGive 'em wolf pelts to wear
21:59.42HachimanAye
21:59.48ImpyDroidDIGGANOBS
22:00.07HachimanI envisioned Mannazian warpriests going into berserker-style rages
22:00.50HachimanAnd enhancing their strength with crude potions and whatnot
22:01.42ImpyDroidCould be
22:04.31ImpyDroidDo not forget giant axes
22:04.33ImpyDroidOr flails
22:04.51ImpyDroidActually no I will take flails and maces for Alhassal
22:05.09ImpyDroidFlail-spinning whirling dervish
22:05.45HachimanAlhassal also has its own Immortals, doesn't it?
22:06.39ImpyDroidThe Immortal Guard
22:06.56ImpyDroidI should write about them but I actually imagine they are mostly redshirts
22:07.16HachimanHow ironicv
22:07.41ImpyDroidOr maybe the Immortal Guard could be reserved for the elite military dunno
22:08.13ImpyDroidThe footsoldiers are going to be militia
22:08.22ImpyDroidEquipped with repeating crossbows
22:09.00ImpyDroidThen there will be Immortals, a lot of mounted archers, a lot of cannons
22:09.05ImpyDroidAnd WAR ELEPHANTS
22:09.19HachimanAs for Mannazia
22:09.20HachimanHm
