<Slereah__> how strong are copyright laws
<Slereah__> Is it illegal to narrate a book from memory
<pthagnar> no
<pthagnar> just to record ur narration
<pthagnar> and sell it
<Slereah__> maybe that could be a good venue of work
<Slereah__> A book troubadour
<pthagnar> i do not know if it contravenes copyright law to sell tickets to narrations
<Slereah__> I could also do movies
<Slereah__> La chanson de Star Wars
<Slereah__> I remember a post apocalyptic movie where a group of survivor was doing a Star Wars play
<Slereah__> What movie was it
<Slereah__> that is a benefit of the apocalypse
<Slereah__> no more copyright law
<Slereah__> I could do that Back to the Future greek comedy if I wanted

<tiramisu> Holy shit. The Senate has censured Elizabeth Warren for accusing Jeff Sessions of using his office "to chill the vote of black citizens."
<Cevf> I've tried reading that sentence 4 times now and each time I've gotten too bored halfway through to finish

<dhok> there's a possum that lives under the deck in front of my apartment
<dhok> i'd seen it a few days ago but it skittered
<dhok> this evening it ran a little bit away but wasn't terrified of me and eventually disappeared into the space under the deck

[21:51:21] <CUM_SIURAN> I'm against the political implications of hijab-wearing, but I can't deny that girls in them look super-cute
[21:52:09] <CUM_SIURAN> it's like if there was a really hot girl who wore a skimpy bikini that read "free speech is racist" or something like that

[00:58:03] <Radius> my recent experimentation in graminaceous textiles notwithstanding, i forget where i was going with this sentence

<@Legion> I remember this tagline from the "Hard-sci movie plots" twitter
<@Legion> "An alien spacecraft collides with Earth at relativistic speed; Earth is instantly destroyed."
<Cevf> I get a feeling lots of these end with "Earth is instantly destroyed"
<Cevf> "Earth is hit with a direct beam from a gamma ray burst; Earth is instantly destroyed"
<Cevf> "The frontier of quantum vacuum collapse approaches at the speed of light; Earth is instantly destroyed"
<@Legion> :)
<@Legion> well the gist of the twitter account was like
<@Legion> taking premises from various sci-fi films
<@Legion> and explain the realistic consequences
<@Legion> in 140 chars
...
<Cevf> "An ancient kaiju awakens from millennia-long slumber beneath the Pacific ocean. Marine biologists earn their tenure observing it as it transits the seas, eating krill and plankton."
<@Legion> :)
<Cevf> Or, better, "An ancient kaiju awakens from millennia-long slumber and collapses due to allometric scaling laws."
...
<Cevf> "Nazi archaeologists unearth an ancient Babylonian magical tablet. It describes a haruspical remedy for tooth-ache. The Nazis test the remedy and find it ineffective."

<Seraphinus> at the Spanish conversation group that I go to, a met a Russian guy in his early 20s (who speaks really good Spanish, entirely self-taught)

<Cevf> I don't understand the 14th amendment
<Cevf> I mean I understand the part that defines citizenship
<Cevf> But the main part of it I don't get
<Cevf> because it basically says, like, "You have to obey the rest of the laws written in the Constitution"
<Cevf> because apparently that wasn't clear before?
<Slereah> Maybe it's a state law thing?
<Cevf> Yes it is but that's my point
<Slereah> Like states can't make laws going against the constitution
<Cevf> Yes it is but that's my point
<Cevf> Why even have a Constitution if that's even an option?
<Slereah> So that you can brag about it
<Slereah> "Our state follows the constitution!"
<Cevf> How about you just have 1 Amendment: "Obey the laws of your respective states"
<Cevf> That seems to be effectively what they DID
<Slereah> Maybe it was the case before too, but it wasn't terribly enforced so they added this for emphasis
<Slereah> Maybe someone pulled an airbud on them
<Guest3907> I think that amendment is because reconstruction states were trying to say that blacks in their state weren't citizens of that state
<Slereah> "It's not written anywhere in the constitution that you have to obey the constitution!"
<Guest3907> it also kept confederate politicians out of the government
<Slereah> The Airbud Amendment
<@vlad> <Cevf> I don't understand the 14th amendment < I agree it is stupid
<Slereah> vlad confirmed for racist


<Cevf> ok
<Cevf> fuck it
<Cevf> I'm adding "nuanced" to my list of forbidden words
<Guest34592> why?? can't handle nuances
<WurdBendur> cev likes to keep things simple
<Cevf> Can't handle the self-satisfaction of people talking about how their view is more nuanced than others'.
<WurdBendur> yes, that's right
<Guest34592> I just say it's better
<WurdBendur> let's speak out against this self-righteousness

<@Radius> the best place to build an island though, for sheer remoteness from anything else

<@Radius> is atop koko guyot, which is a seamount in the north pacific about halfway between hawaii and japan
<twanh> ooh


<pthagnar> Also, the original Star Trek mostly shows the Enterprise crew being pretty competent, but now we're only allowed to have science explorer heroes if the focus is on the captain being unqualified for his rank.


<Slereah__> He is called Chuck Norris

<@tiramisu> I want to see if "good chapel boy pounding" is a combination of things or if someone (pthagnar) has said that whole phrase before


<Slereah> if Bilbo pees while invisible, at what point does his urine become visible


<@Legion> you know what's worst than "never forget"?

<Whimemsz> here's some good news to cheer you up then
<Whimemsz> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-41574608  there's fewer vampires in Malawi now than before!
<Guest24991> the person I feel most bad for is the president of Malawi
<Guest24991> whoever they are, they are probably a very well-educated person who doesn't believe in vampires and just wants the country to succeed
<Guest24991> then this happens
<Guest24991> and he knows the boulder has rolled to the bottom of the hill


<@tiramisu> oh shit this Skyler guy is only 18
<@tiramisu> well, at least he's 18


<Whimemsz> http://www.nativetech.org/shinob/ojibwelanguage.html  this is kind of weird
<Whimemsz> a collection of words in double-vowel orthography and ... random English-based spellings
<Cevf> what's the difference between "Greetings" and "Hello"
<Whimemsz> none
<@pharazon> the funny thing is that there's not even an english word for "Greetings"
<@pharazon> like you have a character in a movie say "Greetings!" to indicate that they're an alien


<Cevf> woot
<Cevf> Handbook of Texas Supplement Volume III arrived in the mail
<Slereah> Does it have more injun tales
<Cevf> It has articles about approximately eighty-nine thousand obscure little Indian tribes

<Whimemsz> http://www.johnchaple.co.uk/dino.html  this one is fun too
<Whimemsz> "Dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex with their absurdly small fore-limbs would have hopped like kangaroos which also have small arms. "
<twabs> haha
<@Legion> well, there are serious studies on Tyrannosaurus that propose that they couldn't run but would indeed hop around more like certain birds, iirc
<Cevf> counterpoint, only small birds hop around
<Cevf> large birds don't
<Cevf> t-rex was a very large bird
<Slereah> Science has been trying to emasculate the T-Rex so much these past 20 years I wouldn't be surprised that they were announced to be small birds soon
<CUM_SIURAN> are small birds unmasculine?
<Slereah> yes
<CUM_SIURAN> ok
<Slereah> Hence why they have names like tits
<Slereah> Or boobies
<Whimemsz> you know what's a masculine bird though

<Legion> it's interesting to see that in biology, even closely related groups of life forms can have widely different body plans
<Legion> like
<Legion> tunicates are the most closely related living animals to vertebrates
<Legion> they look like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tunicate_komodo.jpg
