what's up faggots?
will drop the notes stuff in a few. still editing
Doing notables-and this may seem redundant and overkill to some but remember it's for everyone
I am NOT the authority with this and not in charge and don't want to be. If it helps..great..if not I am not going to be offended or pull a rainman on ya.
This is based on experience but also is the result of a lack of latency that others deal with..I don't have near as much as most of you…you can figure that one out on your own..based on location to a certain sub host (DRT). It's in the archive from Summer 2018. This all started because of gaps between bakers, saw a need and did it. spend multiple hours a day here and watch much moar than I post although I do have high post counts at times but also put a lot of content in. Realize that anyone can do this and if you in a ceratain section of socal you can do this just as fast as I can-it just takes the will to do so.
Notables are not the panacea of this board however if you do not spend many hours a day here you need a way to get quickly up to speed. That is why they are a great tool for everyone.
What you need in your bookmark folder:
Stand alone link to captcha so you don't get caught out when you drop. Having that easily available link is only going to save you frustration and time. Was moar prescient during notables creek for sure. Shout out to the baker who took the notes produced and baked them-that was fun my nigga but tiring. 15 hours a day for a week straight takes its's toll.

It's also helpful to have an open link to the catalog/index while your bred is open. This is so the catalog can update your bred-this is not a big issue now but during the next DDOS it will allow the catalog to update your bred and not relying on the open bred to do it. I can't speak to the 100% effectiveness of this but it seemed to help when we came back on and during the many DDOS's of the last 2 plus yrs. The first bit of notables collection when 8kun came back on it helped for sure.

This is for an easy return to the bred should you have technical issues, have my share of them still. If you are just starting out and have not baked encourage you to do some notes along with the bakers-just start a notepad collection and then compare with the drops and you'll quickly get an idea of what is good, bad or indifferent. It also helps if you can use the practice baking area along with a general collection of notables. Not everyone knows it all..I certainly do not and no one is going to get it correct all the time. It also is healthy to have a bit of anxiety when doing this…not a lot because that can consume you as well. It helps being "on" and forces you to be alert and always looking for additions to a bun. There are still gaps but they are closing since these classes began (hat tip to gy for that). Remember everyone fucks up now and then so don't be afraid to bake simply because you may screw it up-if you do just learn from it and move on.
Managing expectations of shills and other anons:
Simply put… don't even try. You are always going to have a complainer no matter what you do. Ignore it but always be open to suggestions if they are gracious in presenting them. The "fuck you baker you didn't do (insert whatever issue is here)" is not going to get anything out of me ever. Does that make me correct about it? no but try to be on this side of the receipt of that sperg a thon.
Discerning what to include:
This is easy with basic articles from known sources (bad or good). Open up the link and get the title for the crumb from the open link. You need not read the entire thing just a cursory glance should suffice. If you are not sure of how old it is check the comments section to see how many exist. If it is older than today it is helpful to put the date next to the title. Not everyone spends multiple hours here every day so you will be asked to put in something from a day ago or so-especially when it's nommed. Just indicate that in the crumb link. I've seen the same article posted 4-5 X a day.
This an opinion ONLY- Always include these
Social Media is still something I do not do (have a twatter acct but do not use) and I consider it marginal because it can be anyone saying whatever they want-there are a few that seem to be ok but there are a few things you should include:
Major Political Figures but not all of them: POTUS, KANSAS and ususally DJT jr are essential but after that it gets a bit moar complex. It depends on what they say and how it relates to the current habbenings. Again anons will let you know.. if unsure ask.
Military Twats-plenty of coded messages in these and anons will jump on these quickly so it's not a big deal to decode it yourself.

International News- It is very important to show what the rest of the world is doing and how they are reacting. I read much of the Japanese press but do not speak it-I know enough to keep me out of trouble. Media tends to be a little less comped but not by much outside the US but they are owned by the same organizations. Example: when doing financial news I usually take out the analysts comments as they are there to re-enforce a certain narrative pushed by the article. Since Reuters and B'Berg are the majority of these they try to obfuscate points with some flowery language and then have some ANALyst back it up. Once you become familiar with fin terms this is easier to separate the wheat from the chaff. With any article done by MSM you will not always agree with it but it is what is reported and anons WW need to see how it is being managed.
The clock: this was and still is a useful tool…mebby less so now but this again is just an opinion. The clock helped me early on and was also helpful to give to spouse. When it "ran out" the day after Thanksgiving 2018 it became less useful. But still has it's merits, especially if used with normies. I still owe you clockfags a case of something for helping to bring my spouse on board and I intend to honor that
Unsauced stuff: politely ask for sauce if it is not provided. Some anons will just find it and attach it as needed.
Anon proofs or written by anons
This is harder and is based on the time you , as a baker, have to properly assess what it is and the validity of said submission. Proofs were easier to do in 2018 as the connections were new to almost everyone and it didn't take much to link the drops to information available. Seen some good ones and the really good ones have a title to them. Anons are only cheapening their own hard work if they do not have a title for any baker/notetaker to evaluate. If you are not sure just ask. anons will tell you if it's shit or not. A good way to do it is to have that crumb on your notepad and watch the comments that appear. If no comments.. it is probably safe to not include but if you feel it should be in just ask for feedback.
New bakers should not feel that they cannot talk to others…how else will you learn? exactly what I did. Had some great mentors and they know who they are..ty brutha's.
hope this helps
yw and ty as well.
I wish I knew that my tech issues were down to me being several thousand feet from where i should be getting a signal, almost two years ago. Just found that out in january this year as they have been lying to me saying it was only a few hundred feet. walked it and got my answer. Not going to change so you're stuck with me this way-kek!
I'm completely habby doing that
I hear you.. will keep it the way it is and I still open a notepad to keep on keeping on- I was getting itchy last few days and only to remain in practice. I did a quick one yesterday as it only got down to about 200 and baker came in.
dude..you have it! I gotta make a t-shirt out of that at some point.
I went in when there notables got axed but then went right back to reg board and started doing the notables creek stuff. I will hand it to FJ as in the end he graciously saluted me after it was over-wiped the slate clean then.
I'm sure 8bit is IRL-we all have bad days for sure and I'll just let the past be the past. Doesn't do anyone any good reviving that. I have a good laugh over now

goodnight gy
that is the hardest part of it all as once you have the mechanical part down you can then focus on that. There is no easy way to "teach" that as it comes with many hours of just being in here. It will come and you'll do fine. Halfway there
good as always. Saw rainman sperg out on that reference..was funny. the newbie pf's are a riot. need all the eye's as possible but holy shit-i transpose an AC type and it just HAD to be mentioned-what came after was pretty funny. No discipline..got to wait and see what they do before proclaiming "it's landed"-the patterns are pretty established..they are not landing. Don't get me wrong as I was that way in 2018 so we all have our moments. The ego's sometimes are just too much. It over.. sorry for the rant
kek!
I apologized immediately and hopefully that does the trick. you were in here early on If I recall..mebby just after? Asking because I lurked for a very long time and don't really know much about the mechanics of who was who then as it was alot to just stay with it all. Want to say you were in half before this came about in 2018.
ty my fren, as are you.
think many don't see the time and dedication you put in here but I certainly do and a good portion most likely.
They just don't voice it.
I learned that when the notes buns don't get tagged you've done a job acceptable to most.
i think we are just talking to ourselves, which is not a bad thing as the spotlight not on.
I couldn't chime in on that as I can't even see pb. it's just blank all the time. Can't do hook tube either. It's got to do with the low speed connection. I can post text fast but not enough b'width to do the front ends of the bake quick enough. It would have big gaps between. Sometimes it is a challenge to get what I do in here and I really saw it when I traveled and saw how quick the uploads were from farther away.
I remember now and recall the shit you took. I lurked since LV and earlier late 2015 about but spotty-life got in the way. only made a first post in early may of 2018 but watched all of it..the digs, the fighting etc. Never once did I post on /pol
very nice..did not know that was Dr. Seuss
I'm from that era as well-. old BBS user but not an old fart iykwim
this one needs some guidance or something normally this doesn't make a difference as it's been shitty with the lag etc. Been here a long time and have always defended every single one of you no mater the situation-even when I fought with some I always made it a point to not do it in public The convo's in the buns are really un-professional imo. needs to do this out of the bun. Mebby you can use some influence and suggest. dunno but they are pissing many off with this.
just an opinion
I totally understand your position on that. It's becoming comical-everyone makes a mistake and most are very good about it to a point of being humble. I've done it once or twice doing notes and screwed the pooch that way. This one is bordering on militant at this point. not a good look for anyone
no I do not think it's directed at you..it's current one . I've screwed it up too giving it to you so that habbens. I think he is correct..it's at a entirely different level now. current has had moar than enough chances to fix broken links, take in feedback etc.
this is a fine line and why I don't want this done on general.
grow up
that's natural as I went through that last year-and still do always need some anxiety or how do any of learn?
I'm trying to be diplomatic here while getting point across on this.
get everyone has a style that is what makes this place work well-can't agree on everything and shouldn't. Don't think extra work should be the product of that uniqueness though. Why I can't do those front ends unless I use ghostbin or other then the pastebin also have same issue(s) as rusty described above-it is what it is for the most part-old machine and shitty connection
if you are ok with making changes to it every time then I can't say one way or another but once it starts…..
100% correct. If not taking in anons concerns and /or feedback it will only fester and make many have to compensate.
Some don't ask well so I see that angle but automatically being defensive 'aint working.
The convo's in the buns are not helping too.
already said it..comical.
watched it start up and kept quiet..mebby I should have said something earlier but doing that in general brings out the worst of this place. Had enough of that last year.
spot on with that.
why I never said a thing…pointless. then everyone else unloads on you and lumps you into the "baker is a shill"-been defending you guys much when that habbens-usually the first meme or comment to hit it. which handle do they go by?
not something I've paid attention to recently
don't have to answer if you don't want to..get it if you don't
it has improved a little bit in the current bred.
The comments in the buns have to go.
No reason that can't be done on it's own.
Why do you really want to have your convo's that way?
just don't see that at all. Under the radar but that's a personal thing.
Trying to be pragmatic about it..sometimes it doesn't work out that way
have a good evening fren.
just saw the banter now. it is going to continue and the sperg-a-thon of people who think they are defending it is even moar comical. Loose cannon imo. You all tried..can't argue with stupid or convinced-best to let them self-destruct, seen that before right?. Why I stay out of it in public.

just ignore him. he does the same shit every day and has for a very long time. Once you start using the filter that becomes a crutch.
In over 2 years in here, various capacities, have never used it.
It's your choice but a tip is just don't care what anyone says when they can't be cordial or ask.
The one who talks to everyone in the buns is a comic event-this is bullshit of the highest caliber. That would not have lasted 5 minutes in 2018 for sure
Just don't engage this obvious crap when it occurs.
