@Ghost

My go-to gif when dealing with anti-Semitic folks who want to blame Jews for the death of Jesus.

@Seamus said in Saving Pages to the Database:

Just throwing this out there, but RHOST already has something akin to this, sort-of, the @snoop feature which allows staff to view all activity of any player registered to them, including inputs and pages.

Fairly sure most, if not all, codebases do.

@Ghost said in Saving Pages to the Database:

I meant it more like drinking soda or smoking cigarettes.

Still not really an apt analogy. Some folks don't know those things are bad for you. We all know that spying on pages or roleplay is simple for anyone with half a brain cell. We also know that it's generally regarded as a violation of ethics.

So it's not that we're ignorant of the fact, it's that we hold people to a standard and assume it will be met.

@Ghost said in Saving Pages to the Database:

Fact is, theres a lot of willful ignorance to just how easy it would be for these games to spy on your pages/role play anyway.

I don't think it's ignorance, at least not from this crowd. It's more "but that's not how it's supposed to be done."

@bored said in Saving Pages to the Database:

Players should either trust the staff on the game or not play there.

I would argue that any coded 'enhancements' to a codebase itself should be to remove trusting staff, and reliance on staff, from the equation as much as possible.

Also, if you gotta be weird/creepy/flirty/TS-crazy/WHATEVER.....
There's Discord for that.

There's RP for that. Do it IC or don't do it at all. If you want to text-fuck, own it.

but deciding that you like your life better

Hah. No.

@Bad-at-Lurking said in Saving Pages to the Database:

I'm not sure I'd ever want to look at user pages.

There's some fairly good reasons for it.

As with most "saving to database" things, I'd be more comfortable if I knew for how long such information would be saved. But that's likely a game policy problem and not a codebase one.

I swear to god if you've just discovered how to post gifs...

In fairness, there's an enormous "GIF" button that does absolutely fuck-all.

No it doesn't. It opens a search bar for gifs.

@insomniac7809 And was thus broadcast around the world for hours as the incident arose.

I've never heard of these small churches, nor would I personally fund their repair whereas I definitely would for Notre Dame.

@Thenomain The Parisian prosecutors seem to share your view. We'll have to wait and see what the investigation turns up. Once the fire is out, of course.

@Packrat said in RL Anger:

The spire was lost

Thankfully the statues around the spire were already removed, as the spire was under restoration. So they're fine.

Reuters news agency is quoting an official with the French firefighting team as saying: "We can now say that the structure of Notre-Dame has been saved from total destruction".

AFP is also reporting that the main structure has been "saved and preserved", citing an official.

@Thenomain said in RL Anger:

But it will burn it down almost completely at this point.

Yup. Turns out I overestimated things.

@Pandora said in MU Things I Love:

Bonus points if you can manage to say it earnestly.

She's a lawyer. She could earnestly say the sky is green.

There might well be a great deal of damage. But it's eight hundred and change years old. Fire won't end it.

@Aria said in RL Anger:

Notre Dame de Paris is burning.

I am literally in tears.

This is why it is unwise to have hot cauldrons of molten metal in the top balconies to rain upon invading guardsmen.

(Humor aside, really, this is awful.)

They used to use oil, but then they opened the Subway nearby and Italian bread is apparently popular for some reason.

No.
