DTF Chat Thread v. "The Aristocrats!"

BTW the guy that commented on the tie color made me think how perfect you have to have these characters because the internet is full of these people that like to point out ever little thing that's not perfection.

Well he wasn't wrong! I was going to fix it though.
You should see the dumb comments I get on some of my videos. You'd be amazed how many people comment on my Star Wars video very seriously about how C3PO wouldn't act like that and that's not how he got his arm. NO SHIT. What part of parody did they not get?

[King Postwhore]

 

I always forget to look at the comments. I will tonight!

[BlobVanDam]

Prepare to have your brain cells damaged.

[King Postwhore]

I can do that on my own though!

[BlobVanDam]

But I guarantee Youtube does it faster!

[King Postwhore]

Depends on bandwidth.

[BlobVanDam]

Youtube comments don't require much bandwidth with their limited vocabulary.

I got a pretty negative review comment on my recent battlegrounds video    But I think it's kind of funny actually.  I gave a nice response back, but sometimes I like to mess around with commenters.

Anyway, yesterday totally sucked at work, just got my ass kicked for about 15 hours straight.  So decided to take tomorrow off.  I have days to burn.  But good news is my next work trip got pushed back so I won't have to miss the Shattered Fortress show, that's been in jeopardy for the last week.  And then Saturday I get to go to PSU for the in state rival game against Pitt. 

[BlobVanDam]

Speaking of which, I just deleted a new comment that said "Wow this looks pretty shit. No offence to the animation, it's rather the art style that's completely off".

NO, YOU'RE PRETTY SHIT! THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK!

I often do this, like just reply with "thanks " or something, but if I'm not in a good mood, I'll just delete it. I don't think people realize that I made these videos and I read all of this. Or they just don't care.

I only ever deleted one comment and it was because the guy said to watch someone elses video of the same song (311's live debut of Syntax Error).  I kind of felt wrong for doing it, but I didn't like the advertising for another channel on my channel.  Although my one friend used to do that a lot on my videos and it would piss me off.

Usually that kind of thing gets automatically flagged as spam for me anyway, but that kind of shit needs to go. Don't feel bad.

I don't delete that many comments relatively speaking (about 1% at an estimate), and I won't delete them for being negative. But when I get comments that are just bluntly asshole-ish, I don't feel bad about deleting them.

[King Postwhore]

Wait until my comments show up.  You're percentage of deleted comments will skyrocket.

Just for grammar alone!

[King Postwhore]

 

Wouldn't it be prudent to leave them up so it takes away the focus of any negative responses?

I'm for hire.

Yea, that comment wasn't generic and it clearly wasn't a spam bot or anything so that's why youtube didn't block it, but I didn't like it anyway.

Yea, I usually try to just respond to negative criticism.  Let them know who's boss.

Did it have a link, or just say something like "look at my channel"? From memory, pretty much anything with an external link gets flagged in my experience.

No link, that's why.  He just said what channel to watch instead.  I dont recall the exact wording.

[BlobVanDam]

Yeah, that's why it got past. Crafty bastard!

Evening everyone

So

A  former coworker who bowls in my league told me that the supervisor of the Clerical Dept for the county job I was in and booted from was asking about me. Apparently she was never happy that I was canned, and wishes she could have had me just move over and work under her instead of me getting fired. She also said that she'd gladly still (a year later) have me work under her... And that if a position opened up, she recommends that I apply.

This totally made my night. Like... I was in a really dark place after all that went down last year. I'm going to keep my eyes open and throw my name in the hat if it ever comes up.

It sounds like if she had known that I was going to get canned, she would have tried to snag me. Or.. She actually might have (as she and my supervisor there were good friends) and couldn't do anything about it.

[ReaperKK]

There is nothing wrong with trying again Jay!

What did you do at that job again?

Good morning everyone.

[Prog Snob]

Morning

[BlobVanDam]

Hey, I haven't noticed you around a while. Hope you've been well.

[Prog Snob]

Sir Blob. How goes it? I've been studying my ass off so I kept pushing this place to the side with every intention of making my way here at some point during the day. heh

[BlobVanDam]

Occasionally some things are more important than wasting time on the internet. Only occasionally though.
So have you had your test thingy yet, or is that yet to come?

[King Postwhore]

John! How are you man?

I won't be taking it until next Summer. The recommended preparation time is roughly a year. I have a while to go. Lots of geeking out will be done.

John! How are you man?

I'm doing good. How are things on your end, King?

[King Postwhore]

Had a great vacation a few weeks ago.  Went to 3 concerts and a comedy show.  Took the wife to a botanical garden and hit up many breweries all over N.E.

[Prog Snob]

That sounds like a hell of a good time. Who did you see?

[King Postwhore]

Anathema, The Neil Morse Band & Haken.  Bill Burr was the comedian.

What did you do at that job again?

Good morning everyone.

So I was a case worker for Medi-Cal (Medicaid) and Cal-Fresh (food stamps) eligibility. Basically I determined if and what people qualified for and processed their cases. That's a very very short description. If by some chance I actually go through and get hired back in, I'd be working more of the behind the scenes work.


My issue is if I apply and go through the entire hiring process again, there's no guarantee on where I'd be placed. I could wind up right there with that supervisor in my old building, or in a building on the other side of the county. Or even worse, I could be placed working in the building that's literally 2 miles from my house. Normally that'd be a godsend, but... If ya'll remember me talking about that crazy chick whom I met last year working there... who went all stalkerish? well, she works in that particular building and this job is literally the same job she has. So there'd be a chance of working literally alongside her.

That would not end well

[cramx3]

Get the car all lubed up before the road trip to psu tomorrow.  Hit 130k miles so getting a full tune up and the works.

[ReaperKK]

Evening guys. Finally the weekend!
