| 00:03.33 | Monet | I had a thought of mapping out Desmond Miles' ancestry. |
| 00:07.21 | Monet | Desmond's father William was born in 1948, while the Fryes produced a daughter in 1893, that's the closest to the present we get. |
| 00:08.25 | Monet | Through William Miles, Desmond has Arabic, English, Italian, Welsh and Iroqius blood. |
| 00:12.07 | Technobliterator | Well, I submitted the coursework |
| 00:12.25 | Technobliterator | I'm glad it's over, but I'm not satisfied at all, I feel like I could've done something so much better had I given it more time |
| 00:13.32 | GD12 | said every computer science major ever |
| 00:13.43 | GD12 | regardless its probably fine if it works |
| 00:14.49 | Technobliterator | I mean, the vast majority of it does |
| 00:14.54 | Technobliterator | one part I couldn't test, but I hope works |
| 00:15.03 | Technobliterator | I just could've made something way better |

| 00:24.54 | GD12 | hello! |
| 00:24.59 | tcm | hi |
| 00:25.00 | GD12 | the collective mind right? |
| 00:25.30 | tcm | yup |
| 00:27.28 | tcm | what's the bare minimum skeleton of an empire page |
| 00:27.49 | tcm | philosophy, technology, government, history, ??? |
| 00:28.03 | GD12 | military, foreign relations, possibly culture |
| 00:29.13 | Tybusen | I'd say history, relations, society/culture, and military are the absolute minimum |
| 00:29.30 | Tybusen | At least as far as vital info for interaction with other societies go |
| 00:30.12 | Tybusen | Actually, even history might not be necessary, though history gives a lot of context to everything |
| 00:32.16 | tcm | what sort of stuff goes in foreign relations |
| 00:32.26 | tcm | just general diplomatic policy? |
| 00:33.08 | Tybusen | Foreign policy, and actual relations with other states, if they have any |
| 00:35.48 | Charles_Murray | I could help you with the foreign policy bit |
| 00:35.57 | Charles_Murray | It's pretty tricky |
| 00:36.17 | tcm | i might take you up on that later |
| 00:36.46 | Charles_Murray | A good start for foreign relations would be your relationship, alignment, or desired relationship with major Gigaquadrantic powers and your own partners |
| 00:37.03 | GD12 | which empire is this for? |
| 00:37.11 | Charles_Murray | This is how I built mine: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:French_Empire#Alliances_and_commitments |
| 00:37.14 | tcm | a current wip |
| 00:37.51 | tcm | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_Collective_Mind/Motive |
| 00:38.29 | tcm | short, sweet, and absurdly biased b/c i'm going to attach more objective in-depth articles to it once i'm done with this first bit |
| 00:39.39 | tcm | but basically their foreign policy "on the surface" is "let's be friends! everyone will benefit from Progress" and in reality they're relentlessly mechanical, expansionistic loan sharks |
| 00:40.22 | Charles_Murray | So you have means and underlying motive there |
| 00:40.57 | tcm | exploit the galaxy eat the stars |
| 00:41.00 | tcm | also ha ha |
| 00:42.43 | Charles_Murray | A foreign policy is the general theory as to how means are meant to relate to ends, with real-world interests, issues, and how all of these elements relate to other power centers acting as the intermediary. |
| 00:43.47 | Charles_Murray | (In reality, the term "foreign policy" is really, really hard to define and nobody really knows what it means precisely, but I just gave you a messy, "right enough" definition we can work with) |
| 00:47.03 | GD12 | tl;dr foreign policy is how you deal with other states - i think you've already made a good distinction between what they present on the surface and what they actually do |
| 00:47.24 | Charles_Murray | Well uh |
| 00:47.34 | Charles_Murray | "How you deal with other states" |
| 00:47.36 | Charles_Murray | Kind of |
| 00:47.52 | Charles_Murray | Other states factor in as tools or obstacles in the definition I provided |
| 00:48.13 | Charles_Murray | Not as the end of foreign policy |
| 00:49.30 | Tybusen | It seems more like that foreign policy is outlining how a country is going to interact with/use other countries/states in order to achieve its own ends (e.g. world domination, peace, Cultural Victory, etc.) |
| 00:49.47 | Charles_Murray | ^ |
| 00:50.03 | tcm | i figure the biggest part of motive's foreign policy is mercantile, selling useful technology/services to other nations |
| 00:50.11 | Charles_Murray | But importantly, it also needs to be cognizant of the tools (means) it has at its disposal |
| 00:50.16 | Charles_Murray | To accomplish its goals |
| 00:53.00 | *** join/#sporewiki ghostlight (~ghostligh@ec2-54-187-97-144.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com) |
| 00:53.28 | GD12 | So goal is expansionism and progress as defined by more factories and more resources right? |
| 00:54.11 | GD12 | It achieves that both by traditional expansion and creating deals in which it sells/licenses its advanced technology and the accompanying services to powers with lots of resources but not lots of tech |
| 00:55.26 | GD12 | it would thus aim its policy at civilizations of a similar size with insufficient technology to do things such as win wars, produce enough resources etc |
| 00:56.01 | GD12 | and the military arm would come into play once those civilizations were unable to pay the steep costs associated with doing business with motive |

| 01:10.31 | GD12 | for services |
| 01:10.34 | GD12 | and forcing them to do so |

| 01:11.30 | tcm | straight up absorbing small/weak nations in all but name |
| 01:12.27 | tcm | the main roadblock irt that though is idk if it's bad form to namedrop other empires if they don't actually exist in any form except to be namedropped |
| 01:13.03 | DrodoEmpire | Not bad form no |
| 01:13.20 | DrodoEmpire | You're allowed to make as many fictions as you want and make them as fleshed out or as shallow as you want |
| 01:13.28 | GD12 | no you can make up other empires to give context to ur main one |
| 01:13.42 | DrodoEmpire | Nothing saying you can't make nations only be be conquered by yours |
| 01:13.44 | tcm | oh good |
| 01:13.57 | NeonPanda | *points to self* guilty |
| 01:14.03 | GD12 | haha |
| 01:14.06 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:14.11 | GD12 | even if you only mention them by name and perhaps a sentence of flavor |
| 01:14.25 | DrodoEmpire | Also I could help with military stuff if you like, as I enjoy that sorta thing |
| 01:14.26 | tcm | i used to have a Necrox Commonwealth planned whose schtick was amoral super-science |
| 01:14.28 | Tybusen | A lot of the major fictions of the Wiki make mentions of species/empires that don't exist in the present and are mostly only mentioned in historical context |
| 01:15.05 | DrodoEmpire | That or fictions whose existence is basically in constant conflict with another one of their fictions and that other fiction only, so my example for that would be the Silvan |
| 01:15.28 | tcm | it turns out it's pretty hard to have "amoral super-science" as your schtick if the baseline technology level is super-science |
| 01:15.35 | DrodoEmpire | Which are the native inhabitants of a colonial capital of the Drodo Empire and are a general pain in the ass |
| 01:15.43 | tcm | so now they just provide quotations on relevant subjects |
| 01:15.50 | GD12 | DrodoEmpire : not aware of this story, could you link me? |
| 01:16.11 | GD12 | It could be amoral superscience relative to your other fictions |
| 01:16.19 | GD12 | under the assumption that your first fictions are based on those interactions |
| 01:16.24 | GD12 | iirc you also have the bidonites |
| 01:16.41 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Planet%3ANew_Aratacia http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature%3ASilvan http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:06/08/2814 GD12 |
| 01:16.43 | tcm | yup |
| 01:17.04 | DrodoEmpire | New Aratacia is their homeworld, they're Silvan, and the last link is a story I'm working on involving them |
| 01:17.05 | tcm | my conception of bidonite technology level is "stronger than UNSC, a little weaker than the covenant" |
| 01:17.20 | tcm | turns out that makes them really, wildly underpowered on the galactic stage |
| 01:17.26 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:17.39 | DrodoEmpire | That's about Tier 3, which is fine |
| 01:17.48 | DrodoEmpire | Its okay to be behind technologically as this isn't a competition |
| 01:18.03 | GD12 | low tier 3/ high tier 4 |
| 01:18.07 | GD12 | i think measures are in place tho |
| 01:18.16 | GD12 | that as soon as someone wants to collaborate with more advanced fictions |
| 01:18.21 | GD12 | that there is a proliferation of arms technology |
| 01:18.25 | GD12 | as in the arms market |
| 01:18.44 | DrodoEmpire | Ehh, not necessarily, its easy to tech up in general now though if you become connected with the international community |
| 01:18.51 | DrodoEmpire | Basically they're humanoid marsupial primitives that exist in constant conflict with the Drodo settlers |
| 01:19.11 | GD12 | thats what i was saying |
| 01:19.12 | DrodoEmpire | They're extremely rapid breeders, need little food, and are very sharp and very adaptable |
| 01:19.17 | DrodoEmpire | The Silvan that is |
| 01:19.21 | GD12 | oh g these hiccups hurt |
| 01:19.36 | GD12 | you can tech up as needed once you want to collab with the big boys of the gigaquadrant |
| 01:19.43 | GD12 | drodoempire : reading now |
| 01:19.46 | tcm | motive is actually one of the ways i'm giving the bidonites a leg up |
| 01:19.49 | DrodoEmpire | Take really deep breaths through your nose, I find that that represses the hiccoughs |
| 01:20.02 | Charles_Murray | And if you look at France |
| 01:20.13 | Charles_Murray | Whoops |
| 01:20.14 | Charles_Murray | Okay |
| 01:20.15 | DrodoEmpire | And do it really quickly and power through any feeling |

| 01:21.22 | DrodoEmpire | GD12: Just a note that I'll need to update for recent history |
| 01:21.24 | tcm | the bidonites being insulated from motive's "consume everything" philosophy by being deeply paranoid of diplomatic entanglements |
| 01:21.28 | DrodoEmpire | np |
| 01:23.17 | GD12 | I see |
| 01:23.28 | GD12 | Motive from what i've seen is Tier 3 with some Tier 2 technology |
| 01:23.42 | GD12 | Given its focus on megastructures and such |
| 01:23.51 | tcm | something like that |
| 01:24.04 | tcm | i'll be giving one of their terminals a page eventually |
| 01:24.50 | GD12 | What are your plans on eventually introducing the Bidonites to the greater Gigaquadrant? |
| 01:25.28 | tcm | you know, when i first conceived of them i had vague plans for them falling in on the wrong side of the next gigaquadrantic crisis |
| 01:25.59 | GD12 | i think with the current state of affairs there is space for a lot of flashpoints |
| 01:26.02 | GD12 | but gigaquadrant spanning wars |
| 01:26.07 | GD12 | seem not to be the order of the day now |
| 01:26.12 | tcm | true |
| 01:26.17 | tcm | keep in mind this was years ago |
| 01:26.18 | GD12 | Dominatus : :( |
| 01:26.18 | Charles_Murray | Ehh |
| 01:26.23 | Charles_Murray | I mean |
| 01:26.32 | Charles_Murray | You don't exactly see big gigaquadrantic wars coming |
| 01:26.48 | Charles_Murray | The next big one could spring out of any one of these crises |
| 01:27.13 | GD12 | thats true |
| 01:27.29 | tcm | getting empowered by alien supertechnology/demonic energies and becoming relentless cheerful militarists with superpowers |
| 01:34.01 | GD12 | well whats the plan now? |
| 01:35.47 | tcm | no idea |
| 01:36.15 | tcm | i did plan on entering them into da reckoning, but i was too busy |

| 13:09.21 | OluapPlayer | HAVE A TERRIBLE HOLIDAY I HOPE YOUR SOCK IS FILLED WITH COAL |
| 13:09.58 | Technobliterator | other than idiot social conservatives who are all "HOW DARE YALL DISRESPECT BABY JEEZUS AND NOT CALL IT MERRY CHRISTMAS BTW I HATE SJW SAFE SPACES" |
| 13:10.13 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: That's actually more intolerant. It assumes other cultures can't be integrated or that individuals can't see the nice gesture |
| 13:10.17 | OluapPlayer | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Kondrakar_Dominion chek new page i made instead of talking about this |
| 13:10.35 | Hachiman | Aye, check page |
| 13:10.42 | Monet | Technobliterator: Or what about "HOW DARE YOU THINK OF ONLY JESUS OTHER RELIGIONS CELBRATE THIS TIME TOO" |
| 13:10.44 | Hachiman | Also I was only making a joke cus I knew it'd get a bit of a rise hur |
| 13:11.08 | Technobliterator | That is stupid too, but I rarely come across it |
| 13:11.09 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: I remember a Jewish population complaining in one English city about the council not putting lights up encase it offended them |
| 13:11.22 | Technobliterator | I would check page, but bbl gym |
| 13:11.34 | Hachiman | >gym |
| 13:11.47 | Hachiman | Girl you study ICT and digital media, why you working out |
| 13:11.56 | Monet | Why not? |
| 13:12.01 | Wormy_ | Alright, I thought it was a joke but it none-the-less set off a rant |
| 13:12.50 | Hachiman | Why not just sit at home and become an unhealthy slob like me, a pillar of personal unfitness |
| 13:13.12 | OluapPlayer | We all aspire to have hobo hair like Hachi |
| 13:13.17 | Monet | There are two girls on my animation course who do yoga every Thursday. |
| 13:14.21 | Wormy_ | I've not gone running in weeks. I feel unhealthy sitting at the computer everday |
| 13:16.58 | Monet | I might be the anti-Hachi. I walk at least five miles a week, (used to be ten) and I avoid ready-meals like the plague. |
| 13:19.02 | Wormy_ | I just come across this game http://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/ |
| 13:19.23 | Hachiman | I mean, I used to walk very often, and still do; I walk almost everywhere because I physically cannot drive |
| 13:21.36 | Monet | I get you. |
| 13:21.49 | Wormy_ | Used to walk 15 miles or more the Peaks and dales when I was younger |
| 13:22.03 | OluapPlayer | You never heard of Subnautica before? |
| 13:22.12 | OluapPlayer | It's been around for like a year already |
| 13:22.34 | Monet | I prefer to cook my meals myself these days |
| 13:22.39 | Wormy_ | Came across it from a youtube comment |
| 13:22.53 | OluapPlayer | Closest thing to a game about the deep sea you can get today |
| 13:23.08 | OluapPlayer | But the creature designs are goofy |
| 13:23.44 | Hachiman | Actually |
| 13:23.49 | Hachiman | SOMA is a pretty good deep sea game |
| 13:24.02 | Hachiman | It's like AMNESIA set in a post-apocalyptic underwater setting |
| 13:24.09 | OluapPlayer | I've heard the name but don't know any details |
| 13:24.10 | Monet | The other day I took the standard recipe for mac and cheese but I've tried making it with pepper, ginger, spring onions, leeks, green beans, bacon, soft chees, hard cheese, seasoned cheese, sheep's cheese and half a dozen variants of pasta. |
| 13:24.27 | Monet | (not all at once that's insane) |
| 13:24.31 | Hachiman | Wormy_: SOMA is a philosophical horror trip set in the deep sea, I suggest you check that out |
| 13:24.57 | OluapPlayer | This reminds me |
| 13:25.17 | OluapPlayer | I've found pictures of fish adapted to live in caves and they look horrifying |
| 13:25.20 | Monet | The other day was when I tried making Mac'N'Cheese with cavern-aged cheddar and spring onions. |
| 13:25.23 | Hachiman | Oh? |
| 13:25.38 | OluapPlayer | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Cyprinidae_-_Phreatichthys_andruzzii.JPG |
| 13:25.49 | Wormy_ | Sounds interesting. Reminds me of a Dreamcast game I used to play, which was based in the far future and humans have fled underwater and live in big bases. You had a craft and had to find resources and battle monstrousfish |
| 13:26.01 | Hachiman | They look kinda cute |
| 13:26.17 | OluapPlayer | It's got like big red skin where its eye should be |
| 13:26.35 | Wormy_ | Are the animals procedurally generated? |
| 13:26.52 | OluapPlayer | In Subnautica? No |
| 13:26.56 | Monet | OluapPlayer: Some of them look like they have no eyes at all |
| 13:27.21 | OluapPlayer | I don't think that game has any procedural generation |
| 13:27.29 | Wormy_ | Oh sorry, I thought you found cave adapted fish in Subnautica |
| 13:27.42 | OluapPlayer | No I'm talking about real life cavefish |
| 13:28.27 | OluapPlayer | Monet: You're right, I just found one with flat out no eyes https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Astyanax_mexicanus_01.jpg |
| 13:28.57 | Hachiman | Fish eyes creep me out anyway |
| 13:29.02 | Hachiman | So eyeless fish should be fine |
| 13:29.13 | OluapPlayer | y dis |
| 13:29.15 | Monet | No real point in eyes if your environment is pitch-black. |
| 13:29.25 | Hachiman | Because fish eyes look dead and lifeless? |
| 13:29.37 | Hachiman | I was gonna say that eyes are not really necessary in caves |
| 13:29.46 | Wormy_ | Hachi: Sometimes people find squid and fish eyes wash up on the shore |
| 13:29.51 | OluapPlayer | I know why they don't have eyes |
| 13:29.56 | OluapPlayer | Doesn't make them any less ugly |
| 13:30.01 | Hachiman | deyr cute tho |
| 13:30.11 | OluapPlayer | And fish eyes aren't anymore dead and lifeless than other animal eyes |
| 13:30.20 | Hachiman | They're not like shit you find in the abyss |
| 13:30.22 | Wormy_ | http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/10/12/article-0-15761172000005DC-749_634x388.jpg |
| 13:30.26 | Wormy_ | like that |
| 13:30.35 | Hachiman | ech |
| 13:30.40 | OluapPlayer | "i c u" |
| 13:30.44 | Hachiman | Also that's fucking huge |
| 13:30.53 | OluapPlayer | Must be a giant squid eye |
| 13:31.06 | OluapPlayer | Colossal squids have the largest eyes of all animals for one |
| 13:31.09 | Wormy_ | Indeed they think it was |
| 13:31.17 | ImpyDroid2 | Merry FILTHY WESTERN CATHOLIC-PROTESTANT Christmas to you |
| 13:31.43 | Hachiman | I actually celebrate Yule I'll think you find |
| 13:31.55 | OluapPlayer | yall motherfuckers need krampus |
| 13:32.02 | drom | Technobliterator: Oh hey. Hope the course work went well! |
| 13:32.07 | Wormy_ | ImpyDroid2 nsfw song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFNqvcTtfz8 |
| 13:32.10 | ImpyDroid2 | That does not make it less filthy Western |
| 13:32.32 | Hachiman | Makes it significantly less Catholic / Protestant given that it's pagan hur |
| 13:32.33 | ImpyDroid2 | And it's still rooted in Western Christian tradition ultimately |
| 13:32.34 | Monet | ImpyDroid: I think these days Christmas is more like "Happy spend fucking money on presents day" |
| 13:33.02 | ImpyDroid2 | Hachiman: Modern paganism is nothing like medieval paganism tho |
| 13:33.09 | ImpyDroid2 | Well pre-medieval/early medieval |
| 13:33.18 | Hachiman | I will sacrifice your fucking goats |
| 13:33.23 | OluapPlayer | Where's Krampus from anyway? |
| 13:33.38 | Hachiman | Folklore |
| 13:33.40 | ImpyDroid2 | Hachiman: Isn't that a Muslim thing though |
| 13:33.53 | OluapPlayer | r u shittin me |
| 13:33.56 | Monet | OluapPlayer: He's Germanic I think |
| 13:34.03 | Wormy_ | Io Saturnalia! |
| 13:34.07 | OluapPlayer | Right |
| 13:34.19 | ImpyDroid2 | I honestly am very suspicious of most neopagan movements because they are based on rather flimsy reconstructions of old myths |
| 13:34.20 | Wormy_ | Impy should know what that is now he is a Roman |
| 13:34.28 | OluapPlayer | Krampus doesn't exist in our Christmas |
| 13:34.30 | ImpyDroid2 | Yeah I am aware of them; I think they are over today |
| 13:34.35 | OluapPlayer | I have to wonder how things would be like if he did |
| 13:34.47 | Hachiman | Krampus doesn't exist in most families' Christmas because kids are raised to be unaware of him |
| 13:34.47 | ImpyDroid2 | Yeah last day of the Saturnalia today |
| 13:34.53 | Hachiman | Mollycoddled little bastards |
| 13:34.55 | ImpyDroid2 | Let's celebrate |
| 13:35.01 | OluapPlayer | "be nice or the horrifying goat demon will kill you" |
| 13:35.10 | Monet | Krampus is still popular in Southern Germany, Austria, the Czech republic, that part of the world. |
| 13:35.38 | Hachiman | But in the UK and America, they instead say that Santa brings coal instead of Krampus taking your fucking soul |
| 13:35.44 | ImpyDroid2 | So ultimately they do not present a radical new morality or cosmology, but are rooted in Western Christian tradition |
| 13:35.51 | ImpyDroid2 | Or Orthodox Christian tradition |
| 13:35.54 | OluapPlayer | Ah so the coal is a replacement for Krampus |
| 13:36.12 | OluapPlayer | I was legit unaware of all this |
| 13:36.17 | ImpyDroid2 | Hachiman Monet: What I do not understand is |
| 13:36.28 | Monet | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/Gruss_vom_Krampus.jpg mery Christmas from Bavaria! |
| 13:36.45 | OluapPlayer | fucking big ass tongue |
| 13:36.49 | ImpyDroid2 | If you do not like the Christian connotations of Christmas why revive some pagan rituals when you can go for something new and secular like we did |
| 13:36.51 | Hachiman | I like how casual that girl looks |
| 13:36.58 | ImpyDroid2 | New Year best |
| 13:37.08 | OluapPlayer | Little girl's like "here we go again" |
| 13:37.20 | Hachiman | I don't like the Christian or capitalist connotations of Christmas hur |
| 13:37.33 | ImpyDroid2 | ARBEITER BAUERN |
| 13:37.35 | Hachiman | In fact I just don't like Christmas |
| 13:37.37 | Hachiman | bah humbug |
| 13:37.39 | ImpyDroid2 | GEGEN DIE GEWEHRE |
| 13:37.42 | OluapPlayer | fuk off scrooge |
| 13:37.48 | ImpyDroid2 | GEGEN DIE GEWEHRE ZUR HAND |
| 13:37.58 | Hachiman | Quit your Rammstein and start making sense |
| 13:38.03 | Monet | I think the stories of coal came from the Victorian era because back then coal was damn-bear everywhere. |
| 13:38.18 | ImpyDroid2 | New Year is not Christian and it was invented in the USSR |
| 13:38.25 | OluapPlayer | >damn-bear |
| 13:38.25 | ImpyDroid2 | So the opposite of capitalist |
| 13:38.32 | Monet | damn-near, sorry. |
| 13:38.39 | OluapPlayer | Imagine a bear chucking coal at people |
| 13:38.54 | Hachiman | But New Year is a time for parties and heavy drinking and celebration over here |
| 13:38.58 | Hachiman | Still capitalist stuff |
| 13:39.06 | ImpyDroid2 | Hachiman: We do both |
| 13:39.14 | ImpyDroid2 | We exchange presents |
| 13:39.17 | ImpyDroid2 | Then we drink |
| 13:39.27 | Monet | Hachiman: Parties and heavy drinking to celebrate predate capitalism though. |
| 13:39.51 | ImpyDroid2 | If drinking was capitalist the Soviet Union would collapse very quickly |
| 13:40.35 | ImpyDroid2 | Anyway since we talk about Christmas and Christmas substitutes here are our traditions |
| 13:40.46 | Hachiman | Cykamas |
| 13:40.51 | Monet | I have a family tradition where I watch the new-year fireworks on TV then celebrate with a drink. |
| 13:40.52 | Hachiman | Fucking kek |

| 13:42.49 | drom | Wormy_: Pic or it didn't happen! |
| 13:42.59 | OluapPlayer | Probably something like "be naughty and Krampus will put you on his basket and take you away" |

| 13:43.34 | Monet | Krampus - Merry christmas. Basket. Now. |

| 13:48.18 | Hachiman | Pontiff Nicolas and his elite guard of sanctioned daemons |
| 13:48.32 | OluapPlayer | That sounds cooler |
| 13:48.58 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: Somewhere Ordo Malleus is crying |

| 13:49.27 | Hachiman | Krampus' fucking face |
| 13:49.52 | Monet | Funnily enough yes, I think in Bavaria Krampus and Santa work together. |
| 13:50.20 | Monet | Santa hands out gifts to good and pious children while Krampus tortures the naughty children. |
| 13:51.11 | OluapPlayer | Yeah I think that's how it works |
| 13:55.54 | Monet | I think I prefer Claus' Germanic interpretation. He looks a lot more saintly |
| 13:56.13 | Hachiman | Santa Claus is ultimate red mage |
| 13:57.07 | Wormy_ | I did hear Santa did land on my roof once |
| 13:59.26 | Monet | I kind of liked that episode where Stewie and Brian go to the north pole to find a desolate dystopia of soulless inbred elves man-eating reindeer because of how demanding christmas has become for St. Nick. |
| 13:59.59 | Wormy_ | I like the South Park chrisymas episodes |
| 14:02.55 | Monet | Consider these days everyone orders the latest thing for Christmas - does Santa have a secret backdoor to every tech company on the planet? |
| 14:04.42 | Monet | I feel sorry for any modern North Pole workshop. |
| 14:09.15 | Monet | Actually there's an idea |
| 14:10.45 | Monet | If/when I have kids, I might tell them that Santa can fill all the orders by outsourcing all the manufacturing. The elves manage what comes in and out of Santa's Runway and load up his sleigh. |

| 14:56.51 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
| 14:57.10 | Monet | Oh-kay I just saw a clip that demosntrates in a couple of second how silly/dumb the Trade Federation battle droids are. |
| 14:57.56 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 14:58.30 | Monet | A squad of droids: One says "Greetings", most of them get shot and the droid that survives runs around with its arms flailing going "Aaahhh oh my go-" and gets crushed by an AT-TE's foot. |
| 14:58.53 | Monet | AT AT sorry |
| 14:59.47 | DrodoEmpire | olol |
| 15:00.15 | Monet | I didn't think it was possible to top "Coruscant Uhh that does not compute, wait uhh... you're under arrest!" |
| 15:02.10 | Monet | On a more positive note, it's probably part of the long-established image that Droids in Star Wars are a lot like people, only metal. |
| 15:02.23 | Imperios | Monet: So one of my groupmates said she's failed her Latin test and is probably going to drink her sorrows aways |
| 15:02.45 | Imperios | ...Do you think it was right of me to respond to that with "In vino veritas"? |
| 15:03.11 | Monet | Well...how did she take it? |
| 15:04.24 | Imperios | She did not respond yet |
| 15:04.57 | Monet | I'd say it's quite a British response. |
| 15:05.30 | Monet | But (and this might be tricky) the best course of her is encouragement that failing this one test is not the end of the world. |
| 15:05.53 | Monet | If she feels confident in speaking and understanding Latin, then she didn't fail right?. |
| 15:11.17 | Imperios | She's not a nerdy kind of girl hur |
| 15:11.21 | Imperios | She does not even care about Latin that much |

| 15:32.09 | Monet | Imperios: If you want to mess with those girls tell them this: In UK private schools, learning Latin used to be and in some places still is part of the required curriculum. |
| 15:32.39 | Monet | And that to get into Oxford requires a functional knowledge of Latin. |
| 15:32.40 | The_Randomness | Hello |
| 15:32.43 | Monet | Hi |
| 15:34.55 | Monet | Actually there's something that bothers me over here. |
| 15:36.07 | Monet | When we learn about the Roman Empire over here the general education is Pax Romana, the size of the empire, then what Roman Britain was like. |
| 15:36.32 | Monet | If you want a full understanding research yourself or g oto university |
| 15:38.01 | Monet | All anyone knows about emperor Hadrian is he built this big wall on the border with Scotland. I don't even recall being taught that the Romans called it Caledonia. |
| 15:38.53 | Tek0516 | The most we really do pre-Columbus here is an idealized view of the mediaeval era, I don't even remember if we do Rome. |
| 15:39.33 | DrodoEmpire | Ehh |
| 15:39.56 | DrodoEmpire | Before high school its basically all about the world wars and post-columbian Canada |
| 15:40.21 | Monet | I think a number of students over here learn more about the greater empire in Religious Studies than they do in history. |
| 15:40.24 | DrodoEmpire | And some pre-columbian, usually the origins of whichever First Nations group is local to the region |
| 15:41.07 | Monet | As great as the UK has been post-Rome, back then it was largely considered some far off province on the edge of the world. |
| 15:41.08 | DrodoEmpire | However there's a pretty detailed ancient history course if one takes pre-IB history, at least in NS |
| 15:42.43 | Monet | I don't think it was ever touched that Rome had been arguably the largest city in -history- until the Industrial Revolution. |
| 15:42.54 | Tek0516 | Ours does at least did give a broad overview of Canadian history pre-confederation but it was all explorers, pioneers, apologizing for natives, and stealing land from France. |
| 15:43.30 | Monet | Actually that's a peculiarity |
| 15:44.50 | Monet | When I did history we jumped from the industrial revolution to WWI - almost completely glossing over Napoleon. |
| 15:45.30 | Monet | Granted passing knowledge of Waterloo and Trafalgar is almost required for any decent British citizen. Other than that, zip. |
| 15:46.03 | Tek0516 | Actually despite being a British colony we say almost nothing about Britain except I guess that they had a monarchy. |
| 15:47.42 | Monet | If I ever taught about the battle of Teutoburg Forest, I'd make sure to at least act out Augustus crying out "Varrus, O, Quintillus Varrus, give me back my Legions!" |
| 15:47.46 | Tek0516 | I think our history class does just go explorers, pioneers, oppressing Quebec, confederation, then a Canadian view of the 20th Century in high school. Then you're done. |
| 15:49.20 | Monet | It's a bit worrying because that means the primary image people get of the Roman Empire is what they see in Spartacus, Gladiator and the like. |
| 15:50.38 | Monet | Or Ryse: Son of Rome. |
| 15:52.13 | Monet | Thank you popular culture for teaching us that there was no way the Flavian Ampitheatre could have been built on top of Nero's palace like history says it was. |
| 15:55.11 | Monet | Or they simply cut out that After the great fire Nero used the cleared land to build possibly one of the greatest house-shaped examples of penis compensation before the rise of the post-medieval mansion estates. |
| 15:55.36 | Monet | This is why I love history. |
| 15:57.40 | Monet | Some events were jsut bonkers |
| 15:59.28 | The_Randomness | yeah |
| 16:00.08 | The_Randomness | Something that will never cease to amaze me is just how many coincidences lead to WWI happening |
| 16:01.44 | Monet | Yeah |
| 16:03.00 | Monet | As far as I can recall while I was fortunate to have a teacher who delved into the frankly byzantine chain of events that led to WWI, the summary I see is "Franz Ferdinand was shot, Germany invaded Belgium and Britain joined in" |
| 16:03.19 | Monet | well, that I see elsewhere |
| 16:04.07 | The_Randomness | Extra History has a nice little series on that stuff titled "The Seminal Tragedy" |
| 16:05.38 | Monet | Like IIRC England only got involved because Germany understood that crossing the *heavily* Franco-German border was suicide, so crossed though Belgium. Belgium, believing they were being invaded, Belgium had a pact with Britain where if they were ever invaded, Britian would come to their aid. |
| 16:08.42 | Monet | Franz Ferdinand was killed by Serbian nationalists who wanted independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire unfortunately their target was poorly chosen as Ferdinand was (I think) a moderate advocate for Serbian independence. |
| 16:09.41 | The_Randomness | he had a number of attempts on his life by this group iirc |
| 16:10.47 | The_Randomness | They went horribly wrong, but then he happened to drive in front of one of the few remaining members of the group of people that was trying to kill him |
| 16:13.29 | Monet | Once Germany and Britain were at war, the simmering situation in the Middle-East spilled over as both sides competed for dominance over the region's resources. |
| 16:18.21 | Monet | But then the Ottomans invaded the Black Sea, shit hit the fan as at the time Russia had an entente with Imperial Russia. |
| 16:18.40 | Monet | Sorry Russia had an entente with England |
| 16:19.46 | Monet | It was a very big shit travelling at supersonic speeds towards a very big fan. |

| 16:43.51 | The_Randomness | This reminds me of the issues Tolkien had with his orcs |
| 16:44.08 | The_Randomness | i.e. the thought that they may be irredeemable disturbed him |
| 16:44.50 | Monet | "Twisted and debased elves corrupted to the point where they are unrecognisable" So...Tolkien Orcs are Dark Eldar? |
| 16:45.29 | Imperios | Well they do like to torture people |

| 18:08.21 | Ghelae | I can, however, imagine that the people who thought the Brexit vote justified telling Nth-generation Asian immigrants to go back to their family's country of origin, would also be the kind of people to complain about them not speaking English to each other. |
| 18:08.41 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 18:09.45 | Imperios | Ghelae: This post however shows white people in Asia that are presumably tourists |
| 18:09.50 | Imperios | Rather than migrants |
| 18:12.17 | Ghelae | I mean the sort of people who tell Asians "we voted to leave the EU so go back to where you came from" are probably the sort of people to tell them to speak English. They might still like to go on holiday to e.g. India and speak English there. |
| 18:29.27 | Imperios | Ghelae: I thought these fellas do not limit themselves to Asians |
