07:04 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:12  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:59 < aestetix> god damn
07:59 < aestetix> put up a job listing for hiring
07:59 < aestetix> got an application from someone who was born in 1999
08:00 < aestetix> I guess with uni it is worse, getting interns born after 2000
08:28 <@Dolemite> Yeah my son interviewed for his first job this weekend.   Granted, it's fast food, but still...   he's old enough to get his first job
08:43 <@Mirage_> Looking at information on a new MMO that is being developed called "Palia".  In the unofficial pre-alpha FAQ on the subject of PvP the comment listed is: ".An inherent part of providing that safety is that players know that they exist in a world largely devoid of physical, social, and emotional threats. As such, we feel that player versus player (pvp) combat is antithetical to our core experiential goals."
08:44 <@Mirage_> That first line is laughable at best IMO for ANYTHING having to do with online any more.
08:45 <@Dolemite> So is this the My Little Pony MMO or something?
08:45 <@earlrogers> no PvP onle PePe
08:45 <@Mirage_> Hell, some people pretty much only join an MMO so they can troll and just generally be a complete ass....playing the game is secondary

12:13 <@Mirage_> "The Shaman" wants to appeal and rescind his guilty plea.  I really don't see that happening.  Do something stupid, on live TV being broadcast my multiple outlets no less, and then claim not guilty...not likely to ever happen.
12:44 <@Mirage_> As to PvP in an MMO, I never really liked world PvP and never liked dueling (other than in SWG, but even then it wasn't something I actively looked for).  Battlegrounds were fun, but those were like more of a sport and had a point.  Griefers in WoW really had a huge adverse effect on my view of world PvP.  Kill someone and move on..ok. Sheep someone repeatedly until they quit or you finally get bored OR 
12:45 <@Mirage_> repeatedly kill someone to the point that they quit, hide in a sanctuary area, or drop what they were trying to do and go somewhere else, not ok.
12:46 <@Mirage_> Granted, being in Vent w/ Evilpig while he was running down someone was commical, but at least with him it was typicaly one and done unless they came back to start more shit.
13:17 <@Dolemite> Mirage_: Pretty much right on point there
13:21 < Warcop> f
13:53 < Evilpig> I did have fun with that shit occasionally
13:54 < Evilpig> explosive mechanical sheep were the best in the lvl 1 starting area for the elves
13:54 < Evilpig> brand new to the game and not even 5 minutes in, you're dead
13:57 < oddball> My experience with world PvP MMOs was that there was always a high percentage chance of some jackass taking his level 50 character into the newbie grounds and killing lvl 1s for the lulz.
14:07 <@Mirage_> I always hated the shit-ass L60 Pally's that would come in and grief ppl in The Barrens until a band of higher level horde showed up and then they'd bubble hearth out.
14:10 <@Mirage_> Buto was in a guild back pre-TBC and would go out on a lower level toon w/ at least a high level hunter and a rogue to bait ppl in STV, then gank them when they went for Buto's lowbie.  
14:12 <@Mirage_> On a completely separate note..wife got some cat beds a while back that are really too small for all but one of our cats...so of course the only one that uses one is the 16-lb fatass.  It's really funny seeing Gizmo crammed into one of those and rolled up in a ball.
14:14 <@Mirage_> At this point I'm just waiting for the Republican Party to just implode.  https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-rift-opens-between-us-house-republicans-over-bigotry-claims-2021-11-30/

14:17 < oddball> Yep.  Doesn't surprise me at all.  Was talking about it elsewhere, and folks were wondering if it would go to SCOTUS.
14:18 < oddball> I'd be *really* worried if it did.  While *I* think that the 2nd should see strict scrutiny and a mag limit should be struck down, I'm not sure that SCOTUS would see it the same way.
14:19 < oddball> Now, the case from New York over "may issue" permits that's currently in front of them... that's a different story.
14:28 <@Mirage_> Dolemite: With regard to the "Wheel of Time" series...it's infinitely better than the "Legend of the Seeker" series which pretty much just used the list of character names and that was about it.  A lot of people are bitching about it, but I don't think that their complaints hold water for the most part.  It's not exactly like the books, but it has been following the storyline pretty well.
14:29 <@Dolemite> It seems interesting so far
14:29 <@Mirage_> I do agree with the complaints about how the cast was diversified.  Nynaeve is the one that bugs me the most so far, but it is what it is.

18:34 <@Mirage_> Walgreens really needs to get their shit together.  When I scheduled for a booster they had me select which store, then which time.  Showed up at the store I'd selected and they informed me my appt was for a different location ~10 miles away.  Got to the other store at 4:25 (appt was for 4:10). They didn't have any signs up anywhere for checkin, so I went through the normal line...so ~15-20 minutes later 
18:34 <@Mirage_> I finally get to a window.  Dude informs me that supposedly everyone that had appts were supposed to have been notified that they were out of shots, though luckily they actually still had one left.  Gave me the normal questionaire to fill out and told me someone would be with me shortly.  Finally got my shot at 5:35.
18:35 <@Mirage_> While I was waiting someone else showed up to get their Shingles shot and was told that their appt was for last sunday, which really confused the customer because they said they just scheduled it yesterday.
19:02 <@earlrogers> maybe they were saving a 5g shot for you
19:03 <@earlrogers> just in time for the aws mvno season
