@FAE Oh yeah! We did at one point!
 
@rolfl I did more then simply pass out. I heard from the doctor that I was still alive for two reasons: 1) I puked a ton back out. 2)My parents brought me to the hospital immediately. 1 hour later and I would've been dead 10+ years ago...
 
@OrigamiRobot oh I've heard of that place ;9 One day I shall visit and stuffy myself silly
 
FAE
@Arperum good god, man :(
 
@FAE Yea, it was pretty horrible.
 
12:01 AM
 
@MBraedley Hmm... I should add myself.
 
Ughh
 
This is the entirety of Hap's Grill.

12:02 AM
shakes fist at all the obnoxious ACIII bugs
 
which unfortunately fell through
 
@OrigamiRobot lol I heard it was small but didn't know it was THAT small
 
@Arperum - not to worry, I doubt it will happen again .... ;-) Nowdays I'm Grown up, and the next time I get drunk it will probably be after the kids have moved out ;-)
 
@StrixVaria That's what you get for playing on Dark Souls mode.
 
@AshleyNunn Don't forget to pix blog about it :D
 
12:03 AM
@StrixVaria I assume poison or burn or some sort of trickery.
 
@Krazer Also, we have Cheerwine.
 
@Arperum Probably just Metapod's pro-ness.
 
user15026
@Krazer It would be all over my sadly ignored adventure blog, that I should update more.
 
But now only the glass bottles use real sugar :(
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot you have who what?
 
> I'm going to flat-out say that I probably won't make a good moderator for this site.
Why...
 
Cheerwine is a cherry-flavored soft drink produced by the Carolina Beverage Corporation of Salisbury, North Carolina. It has been produced since 1917 by "the oldest continuing soft drink company still run by the same family". Overview and history When the Maysville Syrup Company of Maysville, Kentucky went bankrupt in 1917, L.D. Peeler and other invested businessmen moved the company to North Carolina and renamed it the Carolina Beverage Corporation. That same year, Peeler purchased a recipe for a cherry flavored soda from a Saint Louis flavor salesman, which eventually became Cheerwine...
 
I've just been reminded by a YouTube video that I have to finish editing my next YouTube video
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot damn that sounds awesome
 
@StrixVaria Wait, someone actually posted that in their nomination speech/address/thing?
 
12:06 AM
@AshleyNunn Adventure blog? Tell me more pls
 
@Yuki Newest one.
 
user15026
@Krazer It's linked in my profile here, I haven't updated it in forever, though.
 
@AshleyNunn But don't bother with anything other than glass bottles anymore.
 
@OrigamiRobot I have partake of this glorious beverage!
 
user15026
I should make that like a priority in my social life goals.
 
12:06 AM
@StrixVaria The only reason I can think of for posting that is some kind of stupid attempt at reverse psychology.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Alright. :D
 
"Oh, this person isn't qualified at all and doesn't want the job. Of course, he's the perfect candidate!"
 
@AshleyNunn I support this plan
 
@RedRiderX If I were a moderator I would fix the formatting of this message.
 
user15026
12:07 AM
@RedRiderX It could be funsies. I'd come visit you, wherever that is.
 
@MBraedley I feel stupid, but how do I add myself?
 
user15026
I WANNA MEET ALL YOU AWESOME BEANS OKAY OKAY.
 
@AshleyNunn BUT WHAT IF I'M NOT A BEAN?
 
@StrixVaria please tell me what I did wrong?
 
@Arperum I don't know, that was so long ago
 
user15026
12:08 AM
@RedRiderX I think you just need the http://
 
@AshleyNunn I am a robot, not a bean.
 
@RedRiderX I think there's a space between the bracket and the parenthesis.
 
user15026
@Yuki I will still visit.
 
@RedRiderX There isn't supposed be a space between the parenthesis and bracket, I thought.
 
user15026
I am not species-ist
 
12:08 AM
@StrixVaria This
 
That and the missing "http://".
 
@Arperum oh, take a look at the meta post I linked.
 
user15026
There. Now it works :D
 
it should be none of those things
 
@AshleyNunn MOD ABUSE
 
12:09 AM
@Yuki It always had that.
 
user15026
@StrixVaria the best kind! the helpful kind!
 
Wait...so just...mod use?
 
@RedRiderX I feel like this line should actually read "Such bobsled: ..."
 
Yeah for mod abuse!
This game is great
 
What is the best type of Mod Abuse? Is it how @jmfsg is super awesome??
 
12:12 AM
@RedRiderX Is that Pixel Dungeon?
 
user15026
anything that involves cake?
 
Yeah
 
@AshleyNunn what about cookies?
 
yeah, I agree with @Krazer
 
user15026
@Krazer baked goods all around!
 
@Krazer Well, considering the best type of MOD ABUSE is @AshleyNunn MOD ABUSE and, as I have said before, our entire mod team is secretly just @AshleyNunn, you're about right.
 
user15026
Damn, now the song is in my head AGAIN
 
Although you got stars, so you win.
 
user15026
I might just have to watch Cool Runnings

Q: The Election Message is a bit hard to see

Jeffrey LinIn the below sign, the text that says "2014 Community Moderator Election" is a bit hard to see. Can we get this fixed?

 
user15026
Also, @OrigamiRobot you are a tease, they don't ship the Cheerwine to me
 
:(
You could try Norway. They have Cheerwine there.
 
@SepiaLazers dupe, close votes are already started
 
@Ullallulloo much wow
 
user15026
@FAE well aren't you just speedy.
 
FAE
12:28 AM
@AshleyNunn zoom!
 
I'm tempted to post "Where do you see yourself in five years?" in this discussion.
3
 
@Yuki Getting paid more than I am now.
 
Just to hit all the high points of the average job interview.
 
Except you can't really say that in a real job interview.
 
@Yuki What's the 'correct' answer to that question anyway?
 
user15026
12:29 AM
@Yuki Hey, it will be prep in case someone eventually wants to hire me :P
 
"I see myself in 5 years firing you for asking this sort of question"
3
 
@badp Not "Your boss.", that's for sure.
 
user15026
@badp snorts
 
@badp 10/10 would hire.
 
user15026
I hate that almost as much as "why do you want this job", especially if it is fast food stuff. "Because you pay money"
 
12:31 AM
(btw: I haven't been asked this kind of BS questions in interviews with Google)
 
user15026
....wow. the app notification for election nom comments looks really weird on my phone
 
@AshleyNunn "Because I really enjoy an atmosphere high in carcinogens and relative depression."
 
user15026
@badp they dont hire for what I can do :(
 
@AshleyNunn :(
 
@badp The Google interview was really good.
Having been the interviewer at my previous company, I felt really bad about how terrible my interviews had been.
 
user15026
12:32 AM
@badp I'd be their library mouse in A HEARTBEAT
 
user15026
but noooooo
 
@AshleyNunn hmm. We don't really have a library in our office :/
although we do have a bunch of books for 'public consumption' in an unordered stack
 
user15026
@badp you guys are all "computers yay" and "internet yay" and I am like.....NOOOOO I COULD HELP I SWEAR
 
user15026
do you need a cupcake baker?
 
How efficiently can you take a pile of books and sort them from smallest to biggest? :D
 
12:33 AM
BRIDGE I HAVE AN I.T. QUESTION
 
@Fluttershy have you tried turning it on and off again?
 
user15026
@Krazer beat me to it :P
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Ask away :)
 
@Fluttershy try forcing an unexpected reboot
 
user15026
(I mean I cant guarantee I know shit all about it, but hey, never hurts to try)
 
12:36 AM
I guess he hasn't tried doing that yet :p
 
It's an IT job question. I should've specified. <_<
 
Do continue
 
There is a job opening here for an IT service technician for the county office. The salary is 25k-35k/year... But I feel like that's on the low, low end of the spectrum.
Granted, I only made $16k at my job last year, so pretty much anything would be a step up... but... yeah. Is that low?
 
@Fluttershy Where is this job located? What are the requirements?
 
@Krazer pretty much this
 
12:38 AM
@Krazer County seat of a medium-sized college town. Requires 2+ years of experience working in a networked environment.
 
@Fluttershy What country?
 
In Missouri. <_<
 
@Fluttershy It's low.
 
Yes.
 
Hmm...
 
12:39 AM
Even with fabulous benefits . . .
 
@Fluttershy What technologies and for how many end users? Is the other people in the dept.?
 
@MBraedley Yes to the latter. Unsure to the former.
 
@Fluttershy would that still not be a step up from your current job?
 
user15026
@Fluttershy It seems low to me, that's lower than I would get as a beginning tech writer, and they want experience. I mean if it is money you can live on, and be happy, that's one thing, but also, it makes me worried that they might overwork you and underpay you.
 
"Install, maintain, and repair hardware/software necessary for day-to-day operation of X County technology."
 
12:40 AM
@Fluttershy The only reason to take a job that underpays you is to gain experience to use as a stepping stone.
 
@badp It would.
 
user15026
But then again, if you can use it for experience, and a step into something you do want to do, and you can live well on that money for now, then I say try it.
 
user15026
(sorry, eternal optimist here.)
 
@AshleyNunn Jinx
 
@Fluttershy it sounds like a (very) junior position.
 
user15026
12:40 AM
@DavidM Get your fingers outta my brain.
 
Despite the 2 years experience
 
@AshleyNunn The hard part was getting around the shunt.
 
So it'd be a pretty good stepping stone kind of job then?
 
user15026
@DavidM Sorry, but that's kinda an important bit. CSF needs to flow, and all of that
 
@Fluttershy Can you interview without jeopardizing your current employment?
 
user15026
12:41 AM
@Fluttershy I think so
 
@Fluttershy Gah. I started at that, answering phones.
 
@Fluttershy That depends. How long have you been working? And, how old are you?
 
@Fluttershy Where are you looking to move to? (In term of career field)
 
But if you're looking to break into the industry, that's a good way to go about it.
 
@badp Oh yeah. My dad's my boss, so I can pretty much get whatever time off I need for interviews. Getting time off to actually look for a job is another story. <_<
@DavidM I'm 27. Been working since I was 16, did 3 years in the Army as an IT Specialist.
@Krazer Pretty much anywhere in the world that would allow me to work as an IT technician.
 
12:43 AM
@Fluttershy So, you have a reasonable resume by now. And, you're not 22. So, perhaps you should set your sights higher.
 
@Fluttershy Do you have security clearence?
 
@Krazer Yep.
 
@Fluttershy What level?
 
@Krazer Secret.
 
@Fluttershy we're hiring an IT guy, albeit only part time. It'd probably still pay better. You want to move to Halifax?
 
12:45 AM
27 is the age where you start settling into your life. So, a decision you make now will have more effect on your future. I think it's important to get a job in the area you want to be doing what you want to do. It doesn't have to be a high level position but it should be a step on the path.
 
1 hour ago, by GnomeSlice
Anybody here interested in a copy of Creavures on Steam? I have an extra you can have.
 
@Fluttershy If you're willing to relocated there are quite a few higher paying jobs for those pre-cleared as a contractor, subcontractor, or civilian gov contractor.
@GnomeSlice How does this game play? Just a typical platformer?
 
I should be settling into my life? I never got that memo.

Q: Why is the text so blurry?

NoumenonIt looks like all of the text everywhere is fuzzy and hard to read. Like it's in a font that isn't aliased or I don't have installed on my computer. The text in the launcher and all the other graphics look fine.

 
FAE
@GnomeSlice That looks really pretty.
 
12:46 AM
@Krazer I haven't actually played it yet. It looks kind of like Trine though.
I've been meaning to play it for some time and never have.
 
@OrigamiRobot In the sense that more and more people you know will be settling down, having kids, buying houses, etc. etc. 27-28 is when it starts.
You need to start having things like a retirement account, etc.
 
Yeah, physics based puzzle platforming. So it's like Trine.
I seem to recall it being compared to Trine as well.
 
@DavidM But to each their own pace. Not everyone fits one mold -- some people are late bloomers (which isn't a bad thing).
 
@Krazer I don't disagree. I'm just giving advice on the basis of experience.
 
@Krazer Hmm.. I shall look into this. :3 Thanks!
 
user15026
12:48 AM
@GnomeSlice OMG THAT LOOKS AWESOME.
 
And thanks all for the input!
 
user15026
ahem
 
And @DavidM what do you know of molluscum contagiosum?
 
@AshleyNunn You want it?
 
@Fluttershy It's gross.
 
12:48 AM
@Krazer Do you need to do anything special to be cleared as a civilian government contractor? Because I'm kindasorta one right now, but I don't remember do anything special.
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice if you are sure you dont!
 
Any objections @Krazer @FAE?
 
@DavidM It iiiiiiiis. But my son has it... And I can't find anything around here to treat it. :\
 
@Yuki depends on the facility you work in.
 
@Krazer Makes sense.
 
FAE
12:49 AM
@GnomeSlice She can have it. :) I'll throw it on my wishlist. I like how much purple there is.
 
@Fluttershy Not sure there is a treatment.
 
@Fluttershy There is nothing.
 
@Fluttershy WTF i didn't know you were a dad
 
It's highly contagious.
 
@GnomeSlice I'd be curious to know how you like it first
 
12:49 AM
The cure is: Wait for that shit to go away.
 
@OrigamiRobot In a rare turn of events, I'm going to agree
 
@DavidM Yeah it is. :\ I read about a product called Conzerol, but it's only available from the manufacturer's website. Says it can clear it up in 2 weeks.
 
user15026
@Fluttershy Is it a problem of shipping?
 
The focus is on preventing spread rather than treatment.
 
@Fluttershy I can provide some more additional info if you need it.
 
12:50 AM
@AshleyNunn It was mostly a problem of getting it here before he went back to his mom's.
 
I'm back
 
user15026
@Fluttershy ah, yeah, I can see how that would be an issue
 
@Krazer I appreciate it! :D I'll give it some thought and let you know.
 
@DavidM Not surprising since I'm just parroting what the doctor told me.
> This common viral disease has a higher incidence in children, sexually active adults, and those who are immunodeficient, and the infection is most common in children aged one to ten years old.
 
@Lazers That answer ... Just ... What.
Like, do they not understand how resolution works?
 
12:52 AM
@Fluttershy I'd be wary of any product sold in that manner.
 
@OrigamiRobot Aaaaah. I was wondering how you knew what it was. <_<
@DavidM I tend to be. Well, medicinally at least. Other things are fine. :P
 
@Fluttershy Hang on. I'm asking my wife the pediatrician for advice.
 
@FEichinger This is entirely possible.
Never underestimate people. They will always know less than you expect of them.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz re: your concern on my moderator declaration, I have but one thing to say. Beer.
I seem to fail at typing tonight.
 
@Fluttershy ... I think that counts as a bribe.
... Or buying votes.
 
12:57 AM
@Fluttershy Are you trying to buy @LessPops vote?
 
Or whatever you want to name it.
 
@FEichinger I'm not offering him beer. Or buying his vote. I'm just saying that his offense to my "everypony" is unwarranted!
 
@Fluttershy IS TRYING TO BRIBE VOTERS: DATA ACCEPTED
7
 
Beer: the cause — and solution to — all of life's problems.
 
I, too, watch the simpsons.
Well not really.
It's been terrible for at least 10 years.
It used to be fantastic though. BACK IN THE DAY.
 
12:58 AM
scratches head
 
holy snap. @lesspop is running! I did not expect that at all. He's never shown any interest in modship!
 
@Wipqozn You can't bribe @LessPop. You can only supply him with enough beer that he's too drunk to vote against you.
 
@Wipqozn did you see this one?
 
Oh man. Things just become exciting.
 
I HOPE THIS EVENT IS BEING EVERYTHING YOU HOPED AND WISHED FOR
 
12:59 AM
so many nominations
