  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

  • There’s not gonna be a sitewide April Fools gag this year, in case any of the 4 people who still use this forum were wondering about that.

    I just can’t be bothered to think up anything that would actually be funny, let alone implement it.

    I would do the thing where I keep talking about “my brilliant April Fools gag” but don’t actually change anything, but we did that one a few years ago and it wasn’t all that funny.

    dont worry I have a genius apirl fool planned

    Central, you gonna marry Anonus or you gonna keep my buddy waiting forever like some kinda punk-skunk victorian novel villain?

    (Kidding, of course, this is up to you two and nobody else, and you have real life reasons for the things you do).

    I don't mind answering this, actually:

    Our tentative plan is to move in together for at least a couple years before we get legally married, because we want to make sure that living arrangement will work long-term.

    I would like to kiss certain trans girls
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    lewd.
  • I'll be [age+1] in two days, and I worry I wasted my [age] year.

    It seems unfair to me that you can legally change your name but you can't legally change your birthday.

    I mean, the 101st day of the year is pretty darn awesome to have as a hatchday, especially as a person who likes 101 Dalmatians, but in these years, having it be in April is humiliating.
  • Worry not, past self, for I am contented and well.
  • No year is wasted if it ends with an opportunity for a triplepost.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    but not a quadruple!

    We all wasted the past year, thanks to the pandemic. You're far from alone.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    the past year was a colossal disaster for the world in general
  • Amnyways, parody being protected speech is such a stupid idea.

    I mean, who decided that it was okay to do whatever with whatever image/idea, but only if you were engaging in mockery?

    I need to kick that person.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Some things deserve to be mocked.
  • Nobody deserves to be mocked.  Some people deserve destruction, but no one deserves mockery.  Ever.

    What is interesting to note is that the parody protection in the fair use doctrine is way more limited than most people realize

    The parody actually has to be commenting on the original work in some way

    Part of the reason Weird Al Yankovic secures permission before “parodying” other artists’ songs is that, oftentimes, his songs aren’t actually parodies

    Consider “Eat It”: taking a popular song about gang violence and rewriting the lyrics to be about food doesn’t count as fair use, because he’s not actually making any kind of critical commentary about the original song

    In contrast, something like “Smells Like Nirvana” likely would count as fair use, since the new lyrics are commenting directly on the original song (He asked for permission anyways, so it’s a moot point here, but you get the idea)

    As Quinton Reviews once pointed out: If changing the lyrics alone was enough to qualify as fair use, George Harrison wouldn’t have gotten in trouble for “My Sweet Lord”

    Yeah the world as a whole is fucked for those reasons but living in Canada it's incredibly frustrating the degree to which our problems seem to be self-made.

    I heard Derrida speak at a Villanova conference. It was a tribute to his work so all these continental philosophy dudebros presented just ridiculously obtuse papers. Then Derrida gets up for his keynote and spends 10 min just berating the pomposity of their papers. It was CLASSIC

    So, uh... long time no see.

    Hello, Tools! How's it going?

    That's good to hear.

    I am doing...about as well as I can. You may have heard about this, but my hometown (Columbus, Ohio) has become the new epicenter of the struggle against police brutality, which...is kind of a lot to deal with, being a police brutality survivor myself.

    “I don’t have enough hands for the magnitude of facepalm that requires”
