And the Content ID thing is often extremely overzealous and they make it a major pain to contest that or monetization claims
Whoa. Guys.
The guys behind Raptor Safari have a new studio and they're working on a new game.
This looks boss.
They also blatantly ignore official word from developers that it is okay for people to monetize videos of their games
@BenBrocka Which is an abuse of the ContentID system. For my mind, that's something Youtube should never have implemented.
...aw fish I was engrossed in writing about children in Elona that I forgot I had a draft for Yuki's question on making it to bosses intact in EO4. Oops.
As announced last week, today is drama day. Please commence any and all drama.
14:01
morning bridge
I shall now exit chat so as to ensure that drama happens.
2
@Sterno Now that you're here, drama can no longer happen.
Content ID is great for videos that are literally just the song or TV show. But when it identifies 30 second clips on music in a 15 minute review/LP of a video game that's crazy
@Sterno Any luck catching that plant yet?
@Sterno and drama are never in the same place.... @Sterno IS drama
14:02
@Sterno I thought it was Meta drama day.
Because there sure as hell has been tons of chat drama in the last week.
All when you weren't here, of course.
@Unionhawk Me too
Oct 14 at 14:09, by Sterno
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: OCTOBER 21ST IS META DRAMA DAY
@StrixVaria Welcome!
@Unionhawk Your definition of "drama" is flawed
@badp Your face is flawed.
OOO
@BenBrocka It's certainly much more zealous than it needs to be.
14:07
@Unionhawk I thought today was the day that England expects that every man will do his duty.
There is no drama on meta
YOU LIED TO ME
@MartinSojka Chat transcript doesn't lie.
HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME
I don't know why Google's even trying to appease the dinosaurs; nothing they do that doesn't completely eliminate piracy isn't good enough for them.
creates drama about being lied to
14:08
@kalina I was about to say ...
@kalina Sorry, should I not have edited that one about ?
@Unionhawk eh, that tag needed to die
I'm glad I got there first and nuked it
but I am not satisfied
I need MOAR victims
> [...] and October 21 was declared the International Day of the Nacho.
Happy International Day of the Nacho
@fbueckert Though I think they, only recently, after years of having the system, included a "fair use" option for the counter claim form
and in lieu of tags, I'm going to burninate moderators instead
14:09
They remained willfully ignorant of fair use for as long as they could
@kalina Starting with @badp?
sets fire to @BenBrocka
Drama is when, months after the fact, people keep going back to the transcript, bringing up the happenings in other rooms while carefully avoiding naming names lest people will notice.
@BenBrocka It took a ton of backlash for that to happen. Which, again, is Google slowly moving over to the dark side.
14:09
@3ventic Yayy! I'm having nachos for lunch!
Drama is not discussion about meta, no matter how heated.
@badp it's interesting how this gets back to you, this ship has more holes in it than apple
It's drama day? Brb. Deleting my account.
@GraceNote I randomly ran into it once.
14:10
@kalina Why not both?
@fbueckert The MPAA/RIAA and american copyright law pretty much force them to though, which is the root of the problem
@OrigamiRobot 'mutiplayer'
@GnomeSlice I am purposely avoiding setting fire to him
we basically need to purge everything to do with copyright/patent law and start over
@kalina Oh, right.
14:11
@OrigamiRobot I thought was actually gone, then I noticed you accidentally a letter.
@BenBrocka Fair use is and always has been a valid use of intellectual property rights.
@Sterno Ahha.
There's a specific exemption in the DMCA for that.
@OrigamiRobot wow you're right, framerate is a horrible tag
@Unionhawk Sorry to het your hopes up.
14:11
@fbueckert It is, though most in the entertainment industry would love you to believe it's theft and lies
I don't think I've ever been set on fire. I'm not sure if I should be sad about this.
@OrigamiRobot YOU LIED TO ME
39 questions is a bit much to do in one sitting though
Now I'm on the 4th stratum boss and he keeps panicking everyone like a giant jerk
PRACTICALLY
14:12
the fun police will get involved and accuse me of damaging the site
@fbueckert but doing anything other than removing first and restoring later can get you into trouble
@fbueckert
Wait, crap, @Sterno is here. AS YOU WERE
@BenBrocka This I agree with, but the billions of dollars they shower politicians with ensures that it will never, ever, happen.
14:12
@KevinvanderVelden Which is yet another problem with the DMCA.
Because it's rife with abuse.

Q: Will a cooling pad fix random framerate spikes on an Alienware M14X R2?

TarunVermaI've noticed some random framerate drops when playing video games like Outlast, Splinter Cell blacklist, etc. Everyting is set at High/Ultra settings @ 1600x900. The game runs smoothly most of the time @30 FPS, but then the framerate drops by ± 4 FPS Note that I live in New Delhi, India. And the...

Shouldn't that be at SU?
I mean, I know it's gaming hardware, but wouldn't SU be able to help more?
@Unionhawk He's making an assumption that it's overheating. Sounds like generic tech support to me.
@fbueckert Obama seems to actually realize patent trolls are a thing, so that's a start, not sure if anything will come of it though
@Sterno How were the ogres and hunters?
@BenBrocka Not if the pharma industries have anything to say about it.
They live off generic patents.
14:15
Not sure how big tech lobbying is compared to entertainment industry lobbying though, and congresscritters are generally old and more familiar with the entertainment industry's gripes anyway

Q: To buy or not to buy, that is the question

ChargingPunWhat are the benefits of purchasing a vehicle over stealing it (ie does purchasing a vehicle make it behave like the 3 assigned cars)? At any point are they essentially the same (ie after saving a stolen car in your garage)?

Bridge, I am bored.
@Fluttershy +cake
@BenBrocka Never mind the fact that their history shows they are scared of any technology that threatens their decades old business models.
@kalina Ew.
14:17
@Fluttershy it's cake that you like
@kalina What kind?
angel cake
@kalina Alright then. This is acceptable.
@kalina Oh god ... Images in my mind ... I cannot unsee.
@FEichinger what's wrong with the image of an angel covered in cake?
14:19
@FEichinger It looks bloody. And there is half a wing and an arm poking out of it.
@Arperum that's strawberry
@kalina I pictured an angel baked into the cake.
@FEichinger well, be more perverted and think of an angel covered in cake
@kalina Definitely blood. Strawberry is other red.
@kalina STOP MAKING MY MENTAL IMAGE WORSE.
@kalina We're all perverts?
14:20
@kalina Well, if you want me to, then I shall think like that.
@FEichinger ...
@Unionhawk yes
That is indeed quite nice a thought.
@FEichinger now imagine you li... no, don't, I'm not even going to say it
@kalina ♥
@Fluttershy No, we love you!
Except for your whole cake hating thing.
14:21
I didn't sign up for no angel covered in cake. <_<
@kalina ...
If anything it's you and @FEichinger who are the main culprits.
Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned @kalina wants to be covered in cake. Today is weird.
@Unionhawk I would stand for that statement.
somebody help me
@GnomeSlice check all the things. Yes including none of the above
14:23
@Unionhawk I'm innocent. Completely innocent. For once.
I don't think that's wise.
@GnomeSlice Build a career with a larger company.
But I certainly do like that mental image ... Heh.
@KevinvanderVelden That's terrible.
@GnomeSlice This one's not as much of a trick question as it seems, I don't think.
@FEichinger LIES
14:24
@GnomeSlice #4 sounds like something a bossman likes to hear
@Arperum which is why it's a great idea! You'll stand out :D
@FEichinger My mental image has to much blood and dead in it.
@KevinvanderVelden Standing out by looking stupid is not good though.
@Fluttershy I imagine this could be some strange foreplay
@kalina ...>_>
@kalina I'm sure there is a fetish for it, with several sites dedicated to it.
14:25
I'm not going to google it, that's for sure
@kalina I suppose that would work.
@kalina You know you're tempted.
@kalina agreed, work tends to frown at googling that sort of thing
@Unionhawk Not my fault! It was all her!
@KevinvanderVelden I once found something about whole meals served that way.
14:26
@FEichinger I can imagine it would, but... filling guys full of cake would reduce the quality of their sex
The problem with covering someone in cake is that you could be eating the cake instead.
@Arperum I think I remember that, japanese restaurant or something?
@OrigamiRobot the cake would still be eaten
@OrigamiRobot Why not both?
@KevinvanderVelden Uhm... was not that much restaurant in it. It was more of something private
14:27
@Fluttershy Because then you're spending time not eating cake.
@GraceNote Not bad. Can take 2 at once without much risk.
@Arperum I recall there being a "restaurant" doing that as well, I'd google but...
Huh. Better than I expected.
@KevinvanderVelden Work?
@Arperum yes, also sanity
14:28
@kalina You should try and find out.
@FEichinger no
I refuse
this conversation has already speculated too far
@KevinvanderVelden Don't forget the part where you can't link it here anyway without ban.
@kalina Well, you started the whole ... thing with the ... You know.
@FEichinger nope, @Fluttershy's weird taste in cake did
14:29
which one of these is closest to 'project was completed'?
@GnomeSlice wow, that's really bad
@kalina That started the cake conversation. You started the whole perverted covered in cake and ... uhm ... "consuming" said cake part.
@kalina Yeah...
@Arperum well, I think it was a perfectly safe for work article so linking won't be a problem
@GnomeSlice Yeesh. Select "Terminated" and see if there's a "reason for termination" box that pops up. If not...
14:29
@GnomeSlice Laid Off.
Yeah, actually, that one.
@FEichinger nope, it was the "angel" + "cake" combination that is responsible for everything, which is as a direct result of his taste in cake
Problem is the job was only like a month long
And it has start and end dates
@KevinvanderVelden Whatever my memory contains was definitely not.
@kalina Fine. I don't care, I still have the mental image and I can't get rid of it.
14:30
So if I put that I got fired after a month...
@FEichinger enjoy
@kalina ...
@GnomeSlice laid off != fired
Yeeeah, laid off would be your choice.
yeah laid off, that's when termination is for business reasons (or temp layoffs which my company does)
"Laid Off" is "they didn't need me anymore/couldn't afford me anymore"
Terminated is fired.
Yep, Laid off, final answer.
@kalina Don't blame me for your perverted cake fetish!
@Fluttershy Well, at this point it's more like it's my perverted cake fetish ...
14:31
@Fluttershy I do have a cake fetish
but it's not perverse
I don't rub cake against me
while moaning "oooh cake"
@kalina No, you let other-- .... You know what, no.
@RonanForman np
@kalina now I finally see what you mean that you are not the perverted one here.
@FEichinger has run out of words, mission accomplished
Jesus.
14:32
@FEichinger why is everyone stopping mid sentence? Why not let the full perversion show?
@Unionhawk I know, I'm so innocent, everybody around me is perverted
@GnomeSlice downsizing
@kalina I haven't run out of words, I just don't want to get flagged for our conversation ...
And yes, I said our conversation, it's your fault just as well, "angel".
There hasn't been a good flagging today
FLAG ALL THE THINGS
@KevinvanderVelden Cake is the new CandleJa
14:34
@FEichinger No, honestly, in this case, you were the one who ran with the "be more perverted about it" bit...
@Unionhawk She told me to do that.
I was perfectly content with the image of a crispy dead angel in the cake.
@OrigamiRobot huh, this is a new meme to me
@KevinvanderVelden There is a similar one, involving a snip
@Unionhawk That looks like a monumentally stupid thing to do.
14:37
@fbueckert Yep.
@Unionhawk I hope they have to pay for the damage caused.
@GnomeSlice This.
@GnomeSlice This..... is an unbelievable stupid question.
@GnomeSlice Damn
14:38
Which company are you applying for?
I am sitting with my boss searching for images of Beach Volleyball. What could possibly go wrong?
Would you like to be treated badly Y/N?
Yeah, I'd say they want you to check disagre because they plan to treat you like shit.
@fredley Carte Blanche for whatever NSFW pictures come your way?
14:39
there have been a bunch like that one too
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice Eugh, they are a terrible company.
@fbueckert Apparently beach volleyball is often played by busty asian girls
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice Do you know what a puppy mill is?
@GnomeSlice Eugh. Strongly disagree on that one. But it's a dumb question nonetheless.
14:40
@fredley I have never seen a busty asian girl in real life.
2
@KevinvanderVelden You should see the Wikipedia drama
@FAE No, but it sounds unpleasant...
@OrigamiRobot Oh my lord I don't want to know.
FAE
FAE
A puppy mill, sometimes known as a puppy farm, is a commercial dog breeding facility that is operated with an emphasis upon profits above animal welfare and is often in substandard conditions regarding the well-being of dogs in their care. Similar types of operations exist for other animals most commonly kept as pets or used as feed for other animals. The term can be applied to operations involving other animals commercially bred for profit, e.g. "kitty mills." There are an estimated 4,000 puppy mills in the U.S. that produce more than half a million puppies a year. Commercial kennels may...
I've been involved in enough Wikipedia drama to last me forever.
14:40
@FAE wtf PetSmart does that?
0
Q: How can I raise skill level up percentage?

HenryHeyWhen strengthening cards I always get 0% in skill level up. How can I raise this number?

FAE
FAE
Both PetSmart and PetCo are known for involvement in puppy mills and treating the animals in their care poorly. :/
@FAE Did I tell you? I get to go look at kittens today!
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Are you getting one?
@fbueckert Why?
14:42
WTF
@FAE Unfortunately, PetSmart is the only pet store close to me when I need more than litter or food.
@OrigamiRobot meh drama 5/10, the bridge creates far higher quality drama.
@FAE Yes, a friend is buying me one for my birthday.
@FAE That is... ungood...
@GnomeSlice Those are moronic questions for a retail job.
14:42
@KevinvanderVelden It was better when CandleJack had his own page.
@GnomeSlice I fucking hate those surveys
FAE
FAE
@OrigamiRobot Yeah, they're kind of hard to avoid.
@GnomeSlice Change last two to disagree, strongly disagree
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Awww, yay! :D
@GnomeSlice You do NOT swear ever.
14:43
Oh, I was just being fucking honest.
I don't swear, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about
3
@GnomeSlice Protip - Don't
@FAE Indeed. Never owned an indoor pet before, so this will be something new for me.
Just gotta go get all the equipment I need.
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice Yeah. :/ I'm not like, throwing a value judgement on you or anything for applying there, just so you know, people need to work and all. Some people aren't comfortable working for companies that do stuff like that though, so I figured I'd mention.
@fbueckert For a cat? You don't need much. A litter box, 1 bowl for food and 1 for water - done.
14:44
@fbueckert Always indoor or partly indoor/outdoor?
@FAE Appreciated.
FAE
FAE
@GnomeSlice No problem. Also those questions are stupid.
@Arperum -40 for several months of the year. ALWAYS indoors.
What the fuck is this
@5pike Still need a scratching post and a couple toys, at least.
14:45
A really dumb survey as far as I can tell.
@FAE I always go by the cat area and think "I wish I could rescue you all T_T"
Did I answer those right?
FAE
FAE
@fbueckert Don't forget a lint brush. You wear snappy clothes for dancing and stuff sometimes, you're not going to want that covered in cat hair.
@GnomeSlice wow
@fbueckert I'd still say partly outdoor for the months that it is above zero.
FAE
FAE
14:46
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. :(
@FAE Yes, definitely going to need that.
When is the first company brainwashing teambuilding exercise?
@fbueckert Ok, for an always indoors cat, you need that stuff.
@5pike Indoor Cars best cars.
14:46
Dunno, but there's a question about that
@5pike There are enough feral cats in the neighborhood. I wouldn't want mine scrapping with those.
@5pike Poor car, cars need space to drive!
@fbueckert Make sure you get boxes of varying sizes for your kitty to jump in and out of!
This is the stupidest job survey I have ever seen.
And paper bags/cardboard tubes for it to get its head stuck in!
FAE
FAE
14:47
@fbueckert May want one for your furniture too, depending on whether or not you have good attachments on your vacuum cleaner for sucking up hair.
@fbueckert Any idea what kind of cat?
@OrigamiRobot There's only one kind of cat: Awesome.
@Fluttershy and a camera to record it!
@Wipqozn I'd be tempted to answer it like an anti-social crazy person and see if I got a call back.
14:48
@OrigamiRobot Dunno; going to look at them tonight.
I'm looking back on some of the Wiki drama I've been involved in. Ah, good times.
@GnomeSlice I wonder if they expect anyone to be honest on these
...how many pages of this are there?
@FAE Oh, right. Vacuuming. Gonna need to do that much more often.
@BenBrocka STRONGLY DISAGREE
4
@BenBrocka Maybe they never stop.
14:48
@Wipqozn Some cats are big unfriendly jerks. cough Siamese cough
What is @GnomeSlice actually doing?
Some kind of psychopath test?
@fredley Applying for a job at PetSmart.
@GnomeSlice I know you want to put Strongly Agree on that last one, but don't.
@fredley That does seem more likely.
@OrigamiRobot I had a friend who had a siamese. She was the most cantankerous and mean cat I've ever met.
14:49
@Wipqozn PetSmart requires proof you're a psychopath to work there?
3
I've never seen a friendly Siamese
@Fluttershy I put strong disagree
@fredley Makes sense.
@fredley Well, considering the Puppy Mills... that would make sense.
@fbueckert pure-breed cats are freaking assholes
Get a "normal" cat.
14:50
@OrigamiRobot Our previous cat looked exactly like a siamese, but she was no jerk.
@OrigamiRobot Hymalians are half siamese I think and they can be nice...to people. Mean to other cats and to people they don't like
How friggin long is this
@5pike I've lived with cats before. There was one calico that absolutely loved laying on my shoulders.
@GnomeSlice wtf is this?
14:50
1 min ago, by Wipqozn
@BenBrocka Maybe they never stop.
Best cat ever.
@5pike yeah many purebreds are known in part for terrible personalities
Carter is a big jerk, as all cats are, but he's also adorable and friendly.
Is this a trick question.
Is the real test to see how long I can keep answering endless retarded questions until I break down in tears
4
FAE
FAE
14:51
@fbueckert Aye. Unsure if you have carpeting or bare floors or both, but you'll end up with dust bunnies on bare floors that float about or buildup on carpets around furniture legs. Don't forget to vacuum the underneath of couches/easy chairs/anything with a cloth underside.
Though my parents have 3 different maine coons, 2 with papers, and they have very different personalities (the ones with papers have the worst personalities, the ex-feral one is mostly nice to people, a dick to other cats)
♪ IT'S THE SURVEY THAT NEVER ENDS! IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIEND! SOME PEOPLE STARTED TAKING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS, AND THEY'LL CONTINUE TAKING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE! ♪
What do they want me to check for that last one?
@fbueckert You can learn any cat to lay on your shoulders, if you start with it earl enough. I (and only I) place our cat in my neck without problems, same for the cat at my parents.
@fbueckert I lived with cats my whole life + my father is a veterinarian. The best cats are crossbreeds.
14:52
@Arperum Unless they get too giant.
@GnomeSlice I'm going to say disagree.
@Arperum This one was awesome. Her legs would dangle down, and she purred like a rusty mower.
Is Canada big on mind-fucking people before hiring them, or is @GnomeSlice just good at finding the weird ones.
@OrigamiRobot You can try placing a tigezr in your neck, but you'd need a rather big neck for that.
@Arperum rats are awesome for that! My friend has a rat he just puts into his coat and takes along with him on the bike :)
14:53
This strikes me as "Will you steal / will you demand we give you good pay / we won't treat you like shit"
I don't like Parker on my shoulder because he's full of pointy bits
Except the one time she lost her balance and left a nice deep scratch down my back.
@Sterno This is not standard.
@5pike I'd get a Maine Coon or and Ocicat because they are known for having good personalities.
14:53
The two places I've seen him post these things are for Walmart and PetSmart, both of which are known for being horrible.
Literally worse than hitler even!
@KevinvanderVelden I'm not a rat person. Growing up on a farm doesn't help with that.
@Sterno I want to say this isn't standard, but then, I point you at my horror stories from my last job.
I don't understand.
FAE
FAE
@Sterno Walmart and Petsmart are both American chains, so I don't think it's Canada crazy we're seeing here.
@GnomeSlice This is important for them to know
14:54
@fredley Oh, okay.
@GnomeSlice As in, omfg wat
@fredley That's what I figured.
@GnomeSlice Introverted people are not allowed to scan items and hand people receipts
@fredley only 8/10 :( nice though xp
@OrigamiRobot Just watch out that you don't get an over-breed cat.
@KevinvanderVelden What did you get wrong? I got the last one wrong
They have asked that one like 8 times
Because fucking philisophy
@GnomeSlice You do care.
You strongly care.
Is that the correct answer?
14:55
You will do everything in your power to make sure every customer likes you.
Bceause I've been putting 'no'
Shit
Well, time to start over
@5pike The thing is, it's always better to get a rescue than from a breeder and that's much more likely to be a catmutt.
Are there other places you could be applying to instead? Maybe you should apply for PetSmart last.
YAY MORE ENDLESS DUMB QUESTIONS
@Wipqozn I've already applied to a bunch of places
14:57
@fredley I guessed that one right. Got the 789 wrong because I was thinking in dutch, and the grape one.
The funny part is that the hiring manager probably ignores that questionnaire anyway.
@OrigamiRobot From my expirience - Breeders are worse than Stalin.
@Sterno Yeah, I doubt they even look at it. It's probably an automatic filtering system.
If you don't answer correctly you don't get through the screening process to even be seen by a manager.
Is this correct
@GnomeSlice There is no such thing as "correct".
14:58
@GnomeSlice No. You feel good about what you've done.
@FEichinger "Is this the answers they want"
You cannot (and, frankly, should not) try and cheat the questionnaire.
This is just a way of asking if you're a good worker.
@KevinvanderVelden Abelian groups are quite high-level mathematics
Hey, it's @AnnaLear! Now we can talk to a real cat!
14:58
if isPsychopath() hire();

Q: What is the "attack" of an attack called?

Ansis Malins"Attack" is a term used in music to describe the time from the beginning to the peak of a musical note.

14:59
@fredley the answer was cyclic I believe
@MartinSojka Which ones?
@KevinvanderVelden eh?
If you disagree that you feel good about things you've done, they're going to wonder what horrible thing you've done that you feel bad about.
IT'S OVER
