meowrobot changed the topic of #elliottcable to: Your topic makes my IRC client cry. π―ππ-ππ-π―πππππππππ-π―ππππππ || #ELLIOTTCABLEΒ is not about ELLIOTTC [string lost in sudden transmission termination]
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Rarik: at least for the semester.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Macs died. And the half-week it took him to actually go, came at the worst possible school-time. I simply couldn't catch up.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Gave up, climbed in the car, drove to Montana to be around my sister, the one place I didn't feel infinitely alone β¦
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
β¦ only to make the horrid mistake of telling her I was in love with her, a few days ago.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
(step-sister)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
something I'd kept to myself for years.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
everybody I know here is through her. Her roommates, her friends. All the people coming down for thanksgiving are her friends.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
aaaaand now I'm stuck here, in the, suddenly, only place in the world where I feel more alone than Chicago, at least until thanksgiving.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
one dog too few. no friends in my life, except across the Internet. no job, no school, absolutely nothing to fill my time.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Jesus Christ I'm sad.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
2016 is infinite shite.
<ljharb>
how long were you and your stepsister steps?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ljharb: hm five-ish years? idk maybe more? we've been very close for a very long time.
<ljharb>
close from before the steppage?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
apparently I just mis-read that close. Story of my life.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
no, didn't know her before our parents got together
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
though she's known my dad a very long time, decade maybe
<ljharb>
ok so yeah, it's a pretty big gamble that she hadn't always put you in the "never more than friends" bucket
<ljharb>
just by automatic virtue of american puritanical views on sex and family
<ljharb>
that sucks tho, sorry :-/
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hahah no I don't think it's that, tbh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
like completely bluntly, she's way out of my league; usually dating several guys at once, all of them Quite Attractive Heheeβ’, kinda thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
We'd just become mutual support systems in the last couple years, lots of long calls, telling me things she'd never told anybody
<ljharb>
in your experience is that a sign of romantic interest?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so I'm sure she's hurting as much as I am, on some level |=
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ugh I realllllllly just want to leave and go home
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
sitting around the parents' place here day-in, day-out is extremely unsustainable ._.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but this becoming "the Thanksgiving Elliott skipped out on due to being a horny little shit" in the family memory β¦ also something I can't stomache
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Kffkjfjfieiejdjjfkgkgokf
<ljharb>
is there animosity? or just awkwardness

No idea. We aren't talking. Could be either. I'm not sure it matters much, though.

*ELLIOTTCABLE reaches into his pink tesla and graps the plastic sheeting and a set of knives*
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Oh that Dexter
<alexgordon>

<alexgordon>

<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Okay be fair she was hot as FUCK tho
<ELLIOTTCABLE>

<alexgordon>

<alexgordon>

<alexgordon>
US population is over 300m
<alexgordon>

<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm hurtling down Hyalite Canyon at, like, 250% of the speed limit
<alexgordon>
eh
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Forgive typos
<alexgordon>
you're IRCing while driving?
<alexgordon>
or you just threw yourself off a canyon
alexgordon is now known as drparse
<drparse>
I will let you drive
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
drparsw
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm more worried about the other drivers. Seems like half of Montana was up there for a Supermoon that didn't even show up
<drparse>
why are you in montana?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
And the majority of those are definitely drunk
<drparse>
the only thing I know about montana is that it's where hannah montana is from. but I don't know who hannah is.

i've just spent the most frustrating 20 minutes in a pair programming session that i've ever had
wraithgar has joined #elliottcable
<jfhbrook>
why was it so frustrating?
<pikajude>
coworker is refusing to believe that javax.annotation.nonnull is in the package we both see it in
<pikajude>
and has decided to spend the last 25 minutes searching the internet to find it somewhere else
<pikajude>
i'm wondering if she just assumes that any statement I make about some aspect of java is untrustworthy
<gnomon>
pikajude, for whatever it's worth, your coworker probably doesn't disbelieve _you_, but rather her internal mental model. Hypothesis: she sees your certainty, but not the lines of experience and authority which led you to that certainty, and she wants to build up in her mind not just accepted wisdom but the foundations underpinning it. [citation]: I've been that coworker before.
<gnomon>
pikajude, not that this hypothesis likely makes your day any less frustrating. \-:

that makes me feel a bit better gnomon
<pikajude>
although it is really just seeing a module exported from a package, it's in the intellij UI, i'm not sure what she's hung up on
