    I want to cry..but mom's here and she doesn't want me to do that.

    I've never taken notice of what times I go to the bathroom, so I don't know if I really have a pattern.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I go when I need to go

    Ok, it's not certain times so much as it is certain routines, for lack of a better word.

    When I get to my job coach's office building, I sign in at the desk, then go use the restroom before I sit down. Then when I'm leaving, I go use the restroom before I sign out.
  • I hate using public bathrooms.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I avoid it if I can.

    I drink too much to avoid using public restrooms.

    Having to use the men's room is always a bit depressing though
  • I just feel weird posting random stuff when people are depressed and crying and talking a8out death. It feels somehow disrespectful or something like I'm making light of pro8lems. ::::/

    So this came up on another forum and I'm not sure who's right. Somepony help me out here:

    There is a document that is public domain but only one copy exists and it can only be viewed at a certain archive. Alice pays to see the original document and take a photo of it, then transcribes it and posts the transcription online. Bob comes across Alice's transcription and copies it, knowing the original document was in the public domain.

    Alice argues that while the document itself wasn't copyrighted, her photo of it was copyrighted, and so her transcription of that photo was copyrighted too, and Bob stole it without permission.

    Bob argues that because Alice's transcription didn't add or change anything from the text of the original public-domain document, Alice can't claim a copyright on the transcription alone.

    Who's right?
  • Living tissue over endoskeleton.
    My initial reaction says Bob's right.
  • I don't know.

    Man, this is supposed to be my specialty too!
  • i wish to come up with a song lyric for this signature, but no song lyrics are coming to mind
    How could you copyright a photo of a public domain thing?
  • I agree with these two; unless the photo has some quality qualifying it as a piece of art independent of its content, it shouldn't by copyrightable.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    That's what I thought, too.

    Apparently Wikipedia's policy treats such transcriptions as public domain, too, which pisses off the people who spent money to take the photos.

    Oh, and about the lack of a Trash Heap logo: AU actually did put together a "Heapers' Hangout" wordmark, but when he played with it a bit he found they were too big and pushed the buttons at the top of each page into a second row, so he decided not to use it.

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    ^^That's pretty cool. It looks like it would make a fitting logo for a coffee shop.
  • Sometimes I think "Heapers' Hangout" should be a song to the tune of Winter Wrap Up.

    (Speaking of ponies: after thinking about the conversation yesterday a little, it occurs to me I'd probably be a unicorn, because I do Magic so often.)
  • ^^^^ Like.


    And I tend to walk into the bathroom and talk to myself in the mirror, rehearsing conversations and stuff.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. I'm also sometimes paranoid that I'll start doing the bathroom mirror thing in public even though I know I have much more self-restraint than that.

    I'm not sure how I found the time to do it, but I ended up analyzing my answers to the Ultima IV Virtue Quiz (anyone who wants a time-waster, feel free to check it out) and comparing what I value to what I think I'd do in the little ethical dilemmas it presents.

    Turns out, either way, I'm apparently a very honest person and much more spiritual than I thought. I also seem to value courage greatly even though I'm not very confident myself. Meanwhile, my sense of justice doesn't line up with that of the average swords and sorcery world (but then again, whose really does?).

    :(
  • Speaking of logos, I was in the mood so I did a few sketches. Mostly typographic, but then again this place can't really be defined any way otherwise.

    So yeah.

    I like this one the best. I'm sure someone's done the "four lines and some type= H!!!" thing before but hey, I can just sense it'd work well with League Gothic and the beige/teal.

    I like the ones where the Hs interlock at the corners best, but that's just me.

    I'm screencapping road signs that don't exist anymore from YouTube videos my school put out last fall to help people get around construction. WHEEE EFFECTIVE USE OF TIME

    (What? I just got a bunch of schoolwork out of the way, it's time to waste time.)

    Hmm. It's quiet. No one's around. Now is the perfect time for more monologuing.

    I have way too many ideas for roleplay characters based on myself, so I'm going to get the three biggest and most persistent ones (all of which I've mentioned offhand before, oddly enough) out of my head and on here:

    Pokémon: A Researcher and Gym challenger who uses reptilian and "big monster" Pokémon, starting with Totodile or Snivy.
    Megaman Battle Network: Operator of WheelGator.EXE and/or ArmoredArmadillo.EXE (yes, I know, imagining a Navi based on the Megaman X mavericks is so creative).
    Fantasy RPG: A Wizard/Magic User who likes dragons and specializes in lightning spells for offense and light-based and animal communication spells for utility.

    I'd love to use all of these characters somehow, but I feel like that wouldn't go too well even if I had a group of friends helping me make an interesting story.

    And of course, as soon as I say no one's around, I'm ninja'd.

    Well see, I just happened across this post, which frankly rubs me the wrong way, yet I'm not sure how I'd argue against it.

    I also need to get off the damn computer because I need to get up early tomorrow for work.

    @cybernetic_squid: Oh, yeah. I remember skimming that one earlier. For some reason, I thought you'd had a shorter dream than that. Very interesting and detailed, though.

    @Imipolex: Hmm. I wouldn't know how to respond to that, either. I'm not an expert on creative works and how quality should be determined, and to make matters worse, some of the discussions I've seen of them have turned into headache-inducing rantfests.
