03:05 <@jb7od> New gig Thursday at 9. I'll be taking over from some contractaaa and runnin dem ting. Lost sight, dem. Yes- that's right- eem lv1-4 (with no unskilled and unknowledgeable fake to cover for! >hyyyyuuukkkkHHUUkk!< b0m! SHPIDDDT on dat fi dem, neva work fi dat, run rabbit, dem killem fi nothin!)
03:08 <@jb7od> It's been a really hard year you guys. I nearly suicided myself last year, but then I thought okay, had some bad luck early on- nobody concealed their disappointment or anxiety- like, I got to be sad about mom a couple weeks, but not like the kind of space other people get to mourn- 
03:10 <@jb7od> pulled off with zero nepotism, just good old fashioned web-slinging. I was terrified to get out of the field, it's all I've ever done and truly the only paycheck I can command- that whole get a shitty job just so somebody somewhere won't mock you or think lesser is TRASH. 
03:12 <@jb7od> I actually saved my own life by holding out and ending up eligible for TennCare, because the next week I had a really scary 4 day hospital stay, and even in the aftermath, my scripts were only $1.50/ea, but let's say I got a job at Pizza Hut and didn't qualify? I'da died last Friday. Pretty certain I woulndn't have made it with less than 80% o2 saturation and sleep apnea. 
03:14 <@jb7od> but fortunately, I applied, got rejected, then I disputed... and they agreed. It was heartwarming when that happened, but I didn't have any idea how fast or urgently I would need it. 
03:19 <@jb7od> I can't just get regular sick, not since goodpastures. I am truly undead after all, like really. But this job, I landed it over five physical interviews since October, a communication blackout in November that litereally ended in an ulcer- I really thought they no gwan wan di wan like I and I, but woooooooooooooooojahbless! 
03:28 <@jb7od> no no no no no no nepotism! >;D That sure was a hard year. I joined up in here when I still worked downtown at the old Advanced Technologies Inc, think the downtown loop going past Worlds Largest, but then INTERNET READY COMPUTER $99 Yeah, well and true, That was where I worked when Trevor/SkyDog came into the shop and was checking out some PowerEdges I'd set up with a bunch of flavs (although he only fooled with the rhel, not the deb or slack ones). 
03:28 <@jb7od> He actually invited me out to a meeting. Turned out I knew Dagmar from real life, and a couple other cheeky monkeys, went to some cons but never hiscored at anything (except we got close at the first wifirace (meaning 3rd, but it wasn't as hard as subsequent years), but I'll keep that lammy forever). 
03:30 <@jb7od> Rocked a super trainwreck set at 13 with a couple folks I wish I'd placed less faith in, but there's some unpartonable cringe going on right there. 
03:31 <@jb7od> unpardonable, rather. 
03:50 <@jb7od> but at 9 tomorrow, time to try and fix my life. Not sure irrepreable harm hasn't been done, hope not. 
06:11 < Evilpig> jb7od: where is this new gig at?  and congrats on that

08:56 <@eryc> i noticed you didn't download taylor swift :P
08:58 < Evilpig> ummm I did so
08:58 < Evilpig> it was automated and it nabbed it last night
08:58 < Evilpig> movies just stay in the holding pen until they meet quality standards or i've personally watched them to vet the content before moving to long term storage
08:59 <@eryc> ah I looked in uploads and watched that Decius PN7 video instead lol
08:59 < Evilpig> TAYLOR SWIFT THE ERAS TOUR (2023) {tmdb-1160164} {imdb-tt28814949} WEBDL-2160p.mkv
09:48 < dasunt_> Every day, I have the craziest conversations at work.
09:48 < dasunt_> Every *fucking* day.
09:48 < dasunt_> It's like bizarro world.
09:52 < dasunt_> My crazy idea today:  For critical tasks, we need verification that they are done, ideally by another team and not the implementing team.
09:53 <@jb7od> Evilpig: It's a small medical office with satellites. Nashville, Murfreesboro, Mt. Juliet, Franklin, and Clarksville.
09:53 <@jb7od> Lots of ultrasound
09:54 <@Dolemite> Sweet.  You can modify the code to add horns to all of the baby ultrasound pics!
09:56 < Evilpig> Or you can modify the code that is removing the horns from the ultrasounds hiding what's really going on
09:57 <@jb7od> Well, they specialize in trouble/complicated pregnancies- not sure that'd win hearts and minds, at my age, I literally (twice) almost did not survive this and my >10 year relationship may not. Don't get old, that's all I gotta say- and if you do, the minute you even remotely suspect a problem, jump to a safer chair immediately. There's no margin for heroics. 
09:58 <@Dagmar> If that's a euphemism for "cut a fucker's brake line" I'd agree
09:59 <@jb7od> I'm prepared to commit, but I don't think I'll ever trust anybody the same again.
10:04 <@Dagmar> dasunt: I feel ya.  There's a payroll-adjacent process of staff status changes that I keep getting asked to make blind changes to which is a fragile, piecemeal mess.  Pieces that have to fire off on different machines at very specific times of the day.
10:04 <@Dagmar> I have said the last _several_ times we need to stop playing around and just absorb that incoming data into a database and reassemble a timeline, then work our stuff from that, but no.....
10:04 <@Dagmar> At this point I will let the interested parties continue to suffer
10:07 < dasunt_> Dagmar: The thing that gets me is that whenever I suggest something like this, where afaict, it's basically best practices, the response is the same as if I suggested pivoting the entire company to underwater basketweaving.
10:09 < dasunt_> Now that I said that, I have started to wonder if I have a job, or if I have accidentally signed up for some long-running psychological experiment similar to where they have a group of plants that suggest the wrong answer to a question, and they are seeing if I agree even though I know it's wrong.
10:11 < Evilpig> eryc: all the movies go into torrents/movies.radarr as a holding area first
10:12 <@Dagmar> I was told that I should not enjoy the suffering of people at Vanderbilt who I had told correct information only to have it be rejected
10:12 <@Dagmar> ...but I'm not a man to look a gift horse in the mouth.
10:24 < dasunt_> Heh.  But knowing my luck, that would somehow result in more workload for me.

11:22 <@Dagmar> People are stupid
11:22 <@Dolemite> I'm pretty sure that has been an idiom since before the invention of writing
12:03 <@Mirage> "Supreme Court to take up case over abortion pill access".  Yeah..I think we all know how that's gonna go.
13:02 <@Mirage> Reacher season 2 on Fri... I'd forgotten about that.  =)
13:03 <@Dolemite> yup
13:05 <@Mirage> I'm sure I'll hit that first starting tomorrow night since Amazon normally drops things earlier for us.   Not sure what time zone they base releases on.   Will have to see when "FinestKind" and "The Family Plan" hit on Radarr
13:06 <@Dolemite> I watch it on Amazon Prime so that they'll get proper ratings on it
13:06 <@Dolemite> But Amazon Prime's page for it says 7 PM EST tomorrow
13:07 <@Mirage> FinestKind and The Family Plan are on services I don't subscribe to.   Like I said, I'll likely be watching Reacher tomorrow night

13:11 <@Dolemite> Ah, yeah
13:11 <@Dolemite> I read gizmodo as part of my daily reading...  and they always have an entertainment info column
13:12 <@Mirage> I just spotted it on a list of Dec release dates for streaming stuff
13:31 < aestetix> Dolemite: do you still read Salon and Slate?
13:33 <@Dolemite> Not for many years
13:36 <@Dolemite> same with boingboing
13:36 <@Dolemite> I'm all about reading articles that oppose the administration because it's wrong.  I have no patience for articles that are against the administration because they are the wrong party.
13:46 <@Dagmar> BoingBoing got behind _way_ too many shoot-first-ask-questions-later woke dramas
13:46 <@Dagmar> They were practically celebrating outrage inflation, so... fuck them
13:47 <@Dolemite> I mainly read BoingBoing when Cory Doctorow was one of the editors for it.  Once he left it turned into a dumpster fire.
13:48 <@Dagmar> They were supposed to know the difference between reporting facts and _telling people what to think_ because the latter leads to hypocrisy
13:48 <@Dagmar> Ahhh that would explain some shit
13:48 <@Dagmar> I didn't know he left
13:48 <@Dolemite> Ah, yeah, many many years ago.  Before Trump was elected, I think.
13:48 <@Dagmar> ...because I've been reading his books thinking "This does not sound like something that would be written by the same sort of person who writes shrillness ofr BoingBoing"
13:50 <@Dolemite> Doctorow left Boing Boing in January 2020
13:51 <@Dolemite> So actually he was there for all of Trump
13:51 <@Dagmar> Ah... 
13:52 <@Dagmar> Among other things they've been publishing some *dumb* "Trust us we know what's offensive" shitposts about Rowling
13:53 <@Dagmar> Stuff that on the very best of days is unquestionably still yellow journalism, including trying to link her to Vladimir Putin
13:53 <@Dolemite> So there's no telling how long he'd been unhappy with the tone of the webzine before he left
13:53 <@Dolemite> I think Fraunfelder was the biggest pusher of the stupidity
13:54 <@Dolemite> Before I stopped looking at BoingBoing completely, I had stopped reading anything with Fraunfelder's name on it for quite some time
13:55 <@Dagmar> There are definitely other names involved
13:55 <@Dagmar> They picked up some people who I'm almost certain have no idea what the phrase "logical fallacy" means
13:56 <@Dagmar> I finally just told Google to stop showing me anything from BOingBoing in my discover feed because it was always shit
13:56 <@Dolemite> straight outta ivy league university, I'm sure
13:57 <@Dagmar> Either way they're the wokeist psychos who should tread lightly around me in person because I don't have any problems with calling them on their bullshit and disproving every dumbass thing they say until they're humiliated and crying
13:57 <@Dagmar> ...becasue this shit has gone on long enough
13:58 <@Dagmar> The last load of horse shit I saw was someone claiming Rowling called all trans people death eaters, and it was such an obvious fallacy I'm astonished anyone allowed it out of the "shitty things we might post if we're out of meaningful content" bimn
13:58 <@Dagmar> Nothing those dumbasses say about Rowling _ever_ seems to hold up under even the lightest scrutiny
13:59 <@Dagmar> Frankly they're no better htan the Republicans right now with their culty bullshit
14:01 <@Dolemite> The whole thing around Rowling is just nuts, anyway.   Somebody has a different opinion than you?  Get over it.  If they're not calling for you to be harmed in some way because of that opinion, you are not being opressed.
14:24 <@Dagmar> Hell, her opinion isn't even that extreme, and in the stuff she's written she's been _real_ clear about what she believes
14:24 <@Dagmar> She's not a transphobe.
14:25 <@Dolemite> But in their minds, if you believe there is any difference between a trans-womand and a cis-woman, you are the enemey
14:25 <@Dolemite> enemy
14:25 <@Dagmar> She has a problem with predatory men spontaneously claiming to be "trans" to get into women's spaces to be pervy because _in her country_ that's apparently actually been happening
14:30 <@Dolemite> I remember reading a quote from Rowling at one point that stated that the trans-woman experience was not the same as the cis-woman experience...  and there being a crazy uproar from the overwoke crowd on it.   I hadn't heard the bit about the fake trans pervs in the bathroom.
14:31 <@Dagmar> Yeah, she's on solid ground talking about the trans- vs cis- experience
14:31 <@Dagmar> SHe was speaking _only_ of the experience of growing up
14:31 <@Dagmar> ...which is kind of inarguable.
14:31 <@Dolemite> And I know there are some who get off on the whole listening or watching women piss and shit, but damn
14:31 <@Dagmar> Like, if you didn't grow up as a girl, then you have no idea what it would be like to grow up as a girl
14:32 <@Dagmar> The response was basically "TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN HOW DARE YOU SAY OTHERWISE GROWL SNARL SNAP BARK"
14:32 <@Dolemite> Exactly, but also, if you didn't grow up in "the wrong body" then your experience wouldn't equal that of someone who grew up trying to realize they were trans
14:33 <@Dolemite> So I couldn't believe that the overwoke had gone so far left that they'd come back around to the other side
14:33 <@Dagmar> THe screaming about Rowling has been 100% nutso
14:33 <@Dagmar> ...which is why I strongly suspect it's being used a cult discriminator
14:33 <@Dolemite> But hey, at least I learned a new word from the whole thing.  I now know what a TERF is.
14:34 <@Dagmar> Like, if someone believes that shit then the chances they'll question anything else a virtue signaller says are pretty fuckin' low
14:34 <@Dagmar> She's as much of a terf as I am a terrorist
14:34 <@Dagmar> I use mass _confusion_, not fear
14:35 <@Dagmar> ...but she's been pretty snarky with the trolls about that shit
14:47 <@Mirage> So, when's the last time any of you had or felt the need to `nice` or `renice` something?
14:47 <@Dagmar> Maybe 4-5 years ago
14:49 <@Mirage> Not sure why, but one of the guys was asking me about it.   i told him that w/ hardware today there's not nearly as much need for it anymore, but that back when we only had 1-2 cores and a lot less memory that there was certainly a call to use it now and then

15:35 < nihil-> wow, MTG is a real piece of shit
15:36 < nihil-> so happy holding up a giant blow up image of hunter biden sex tape next to her face
15:36 < nihil-> I don't know shit about her, i try to avoid those distractions
15:37 < nihil-> our government is a real horror show
15:37 < nihil-> when are responsible people going to serve in government?
15:43 <@Dagmar> When we elect them
15:43 <@Dagmar> ...which is why I'm waiting for COVID Omega variant that includes bleeding from the eyes

15:51 <@Dagmar> He got the cell phone records for Trumps phone on Jan 6th

20:06 < nihil-> I'm independent, i think the democrats are pretty fucked in the head too
20:06 < nihil-> not nearly as bad but I would still not want to be associated with them
20:13 <@Dagmar> There's always been a small cadre of wackos in poltics
20:14 <@Dagmar> ...unfortunately for the GOP it's become the majority of their party.
20:14 <@Dagmar> There's no comparison.
20:14 <@Dagmar> I'ts like comparing a group of 14-year-old schoolgirls, of which two have been caught shoplifting, with the contents of a professional rape team.
20:18 < nihil-> Well I think a lot of what went on with kushner and "russia collusion" is a lot of the same of what's happening now with hunter except that time I think it was more largely fueled by the media than the party itself though the democratic party was pushing it too.... but they never showed him getting a blowjob on live tv
20:18 <@Dagmar> Dude, Kushner has _many_ sketch deals, but you don't see the dems screaming incoherently about it
20:19 <@Dagmar> The GOP are acting like rabid trash across the board
20:20 < nihil-> well nobody today was screaming incoherently but yeah they did bring up him having sketch deals but that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about leading up to the impeachment hearing muller investigation.
20:21 < nihil-> yeah they are, i agree with that
20:21 <@Dagmar> The feds explained that pretty well
20:21 <@Dagmar> Apparently there's nothing illegal about cheerleading when a foreign national power begins sabotaging your political processes.
20:22 <@Dagmar> I think it's borderline treasonous, but that's just me
20:22 < nihil-> well durring that there was a huge smear campagin against jared that is very similar to the one against hunter.... but this hunter one has become much worse and last much longer
20:23 < nihil-> "SAY HUNTER ONE MORE GOD DAMN TIME I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHER FUCKER"
20:23 < nihil-> lol
20:23 < nihil-> hunter2
20:23 <@Dagmar> That's really what the situation needs
20:23 <@Dagmar> Someone really mad, with a gun
20:23 < nihil-> I get tired of hearing of this shit
20:23 < nihil-> lmao yeah
20:23 <@Dagmar> ...or perhaps a summons and a waiting jail cell.
20:26 < nihil-> imma lay down. good talking
