TET to the Future: Marty, We're Going Blaat!

[Neko-koku]

I won't be married lol.

'Kay.

Do you like cats? :3

[Kowani]

That’s a fat mood right there, boi.


Blegh. I had school registration today. It sucked.


If I cannot, it shall not be for lack of effort!

There's something I haven't thought about in a long time. Well, at least it's over, right?

The machines broke down, the cameras didn’t work, I had a scheduling conflict and my counselor was unavailable for about half an hour, so I couldn’t resolve the scheduling conflict until late. It was supposed to last from 9-10. I left at 12.

[Pacomia]

Ok, going to bed, for real this time. Time to turn whatever few brain cells I have off.

Hey, why don't I build a bunker for them too? I think Enver Hoxha was onto something.

[Scomagia]

Not really.

Bummer. Again, it is over now, right? So, there is that. *nods sagely*

Wow dude. That's pretty tryhard. Cringe moment.

Night, chief.

[Pacomia]

Still have no idea what "fat mood" means. Sounds like demonspeak to me.

Um... what is school registration?

Fair point.

Ignoring you’re going for Newspeech, that’s “bruh moment.” Or “cringe” But never mixed.

Bureaucratic fuckery.

I can mix it if I want, Kowani. Language exists to be evolved.

Damn, that’s one of my points. Yet language evolves through popular consensus, not through individualistic choice.

Popular consensus starts with an individual.

[Neko-koku]

Bureaucracies inherently tend to suck.

Popular consensus starts with an individual.

Well. By pedantry, it starts with two.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

Popular consensus starts with an individual.

Well. By pedantry, it starts with two.

Which in turn starts with one.

[Neko-koku]

Well. By pedantry, it starts with two.

Which in turn starts with one.

Which in turn starts with zero.

[Kowani]

Starts with. But it’s not popular consensus until you get at least two people.

Which in turn starts with one.

Which in turn starts with zero.

That’s not how language works.

Not really. A new word is by definition a word that wasn't used before so..

The word cane up in someone’s mind, though. Zero is the emptiness that the word developed in, yet didn’t start the usage of the word.

The real zero was inside of us all along.

Of course. Just as a womb housed no fetus before conception, it did and the fetus grew. Yet the womb did not supply the fetus with food and water needed for growth.

And the word is likely to have began as an ‘inspiration’. Someone saw something and it made them to think up a word based on that thing.

Welp, my buddies came over for my birthday and we have been playing mega monopoly for the past 5ish hours. It's results in a 3 vs 2 conglomerate co-partner ship forming where myself and two of my friends are part of a limited liability group versus my two other friends who are pulling a merger atm. We paused for an early morning fast food run.

It sounds like you’re well spending quality time with some friends. Board games with others are activities I rarely try out. But it does seem fun. Keep them close.

If I remember rightly, they were DEAT in '04, but lingered on the forums for another two years with puppets before being declared DOS two years later. I don't know why the record would show them as being deleted in '06 in that case though...

Maybe the nation was restored and then reDEAT, or maybe her mod nation was of a slightly different spelling, and thus we're looking at the wrong one.

I know this conversation is from a couple of days ago, but I can verify via reading old Jolt archive posts that her mod nation was indeed "Stephistan". I know she deleted herself before the mod tools were taken from her; maybe another mod saw that as illegitimate and revived her nation for her, and she continued to use it (example here) until it was deleted for real in 2006; I've always wondered this myself, as I can't find anything regarding the 2006 DEAT. I also don't believe she was ever declared DoS.

By the way, it's good to see this TET moving faster than the past few.

Also, how did they get Luna's post to say 8 Apr 2009 as its posting date, when Luna hadn't joined the forum, and the post ID is consistent with a 2017 posting date?
