Tavern on the Meta

Perhaps we need SE VR to move on with SO TV...

Ooo... the review main page has been cosmetically updated

And the avatar is mini!

Were I drinking anything, someone would owe me a new monitor

The penalty for being in a tavern without a drink: no new monitor

Robot comes from the Slavic word robota, which means slave.

This is slavery! Machines are people too!

Apparently the word "Slavery" also has its origins with the Slavs... Because they were enslaved.

@Shog9 I like my monitor!

I feel like there's some sort of cosmic payback to be had here, but... I have been drinking in the tavern, so not quite putting it together

Drinking, and suspending people

And cooking chickens and rice

3:24 AM

I do it sober.

A good evening, all told

quite

Except...

I just got a pending thing taken care of, which is good.

But that leads to another pending thing that's out of my hands.

Pending things are the worst

3:24 AM

Yeah

Like a sword hanging over you they are

Which... apparently is the root of the word "pending"

(got my mom to call the parents of a girl who was on the slightly dodgier matchmaking site but looks like an excellent fit.... )

so need to get them to say yay, nay or ghost me.

The modern indian matchmaking process is oddly like applying for a job.

oddly enough, that doesn't seem particularly odd to me

You have HR (parents) acting as gatekeepers, you have a range of qualifications...

but then, I've been married 15 years, and damn if it isn't a lot of work

3:26 AM

and you get ghosted a lot

@Shog9 ah but see

You probably didn't have to contact random strangers to see if they're interested in their daughter talking to you

(course my parents should be doing this...)

funny story...

I think there's room for a rent-a-yenta service

@Shog9 do tell

another time

sure

one day, me & you will be in the same bar and I'll buy us both drinks and then charitably offer to consume yours for you while telling the tale

3:30 AM

Works for me

(and hopefully I'll have some interesting tales by then. Or at least the ones I totally can't talk about on the internet.)

So you know that guy who spammed Security.SE with a DMCA request?

I sent him an email asking him to stop spamming the site and telling him where he can send an actual takedown request. I was very polite.

His response?

> Fuck you asshole. The film I question comes from your url.
If I see it up there tomorrow we will proceed with legal matters.

dammit, now you gotta call him on two different lines

see what happens? You try & do something nice, and just end up with more work.

lol yeah

And apparently it comes from "my" URL.

I was very tempted to just antagonize him and say things like "I'm not afraid of you!"

eh

It's really easier for them to just submit a DMCA request and SE will comply by deleting the post...

3:42 AM

Just don't bother. No point feeding trolls or delusional folks

@andmyself Ikr, but for some reason this guy just can't read.

There's an easy to locate email to send DMCA requests, and it's not "Ask Question".

> Legal matters? Bring it! Please instruct your solicitor to send all communications to me directly. My business address is: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C, 20500

Time to show him some meta posts about SE posts getting deleted from DMCA request to convince him...

Since he linked the URL in the title of the "question", imagine sending a DMCA to him.

Copyright trolls be trollin.

I asked him to email me the actual post that contains the copyrighted material.

Because I'll be very surprised if it's actually on Security.SE.

Also, how did a question asking how to get revenge on someone and be mean to them actually hit HNQ? And get so many upvotes? security.stackexchange.com/q/201033/165253

A better question is, is that on-topic?

3:50 AM

Most certainly not (I already VTCed but I'm no mod).

That's at least a progress to remove it from HNQ

@EKons I am...

In any case, feel better.

Thanks. In the winter, I seem to be sick more often than not.

The more times you get sick, the more I get to nest the comment.

(Don't take that the wrong way.)

Is there a way to favorite a question so that any changes appear in the favorites tab? As it is, I don't think comments trigger updates in favorites.

@ShadowWizard As I said, I usually try to support an international medical NGO - small periodic donations and other similar things (for example, where I live you can opt to have a small part of your yearly taxes given to humanitarian organizations)... old clothes usually I simply put in some "bins" that another humanitarian organization has placed thru the city - they gather the stuff and then give it out to people in need.

that said, I haven't made anything specific in this period.

and as I have already said, I still have mixed feeling about this contest.

anyway....

@JNat - thanks to Evan, you now own each of us 7$ so far....
