@MitchW Cheers! I just really can’t get enough of this kind of stuff, jargon and argot and slang, especially in the domain of computing and espionage and related. Interesting anthropological data: spam is canned meat, then an absurdist insider joke, now the ’proper’ term for unwanted electronic messages. Later it might be “our bodies when asleep, ’I spammed out for 12 hours!‘”

@ru Doesn’t everyone use ‘right now’ as origin point? “All those nostalgia-for-twenty-years ago shows from 30 and 50 years ago seem so dated now!”
🤡👀🧠🤯🤬

Seriously though, my alarm at whatever harms are caused by the terminally dumb is mitigated by the fact that if they knew what they were doing it would probably be worse. SEO as anti-pattern. Our hope is that sharp archivists attach properly defined datetimestamps* (the date time as proclaimed by St. Amp 🔊) as such items hit the spool.

That is our concern dude. 🦉

@dispatchesfrom I didn’t want to say it…but yeah, prototypical example of the pattern.

Solution space dominated by problem solving for getting wet in the shower—by providing umbrellas. Two revenue streams, bath entry and anti-moisture measures fee, is better than just not getting in the tub in the first place, they say.

@jemostrom Cool, and you’re very welcome! Koons is quite a character and it seemed comically plausible he would sell just the fish’s ass. 🤭🫠🥴

@MitchW Not happy about how flippant my initial response was—Are you working on authentic dialog, or locking down common regional usage, or something else entirely…? I play fast and loose with jargon if it sounds right to me…

@MitchW sure. pot, trap, box, bag, just make sure they’re in!

@MitchW Back in the analog days? Intimacy for information, or reasonable facsimiles thereof, 🤩😍😎💋😶.

@dispatchesfrom Especially with no prospect of alternative possible…

“Since we nourished them that whole time, maybe we could eat their souls now, eh?”
“Yeah, yeah! Fair is fair. This vulture shit sure is tasty, huh guys?“
