[P2TM Chat] The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse II

[Ayreonia]

You know, I just realised how stupid a word "enjoy" is.

Logically, it should mean "cause joy," not "something that brings me joy," if we would follow the example of other words with the en-prefix, such as enrage or enamor.

So, if I were to say I like RPing I should be saying "I am enjoyed by RPing." "I enjoy RPing" should actually mean "I make RPing feel joy," which, while not any less true, sounds dumb.

Just saying, English.

True this, just look at Esperanto

Funnily, this has some merit; richer, more populous, more connected (and often therefore more powerful or technologically advanced) societies tend to see their language change faster, due to greater volume of usage and stuff. I think.

Huh. You're right. After looking at the etymology, it appears that that was one of its original meanings, but when the word passed from French into English and subsequently had subtle shifts in meaning over the course of several centuries, it came to its modern meaning. It's quite interesting, actually.

[Nature-Spirits]

This is incredibly cool.

This is incredibly cool.

Old theme parks are always creepy as fuck.

Like terrific.

Y'know, as in "to terrify".

I just pictured Steven Irwin creeping behind "program" in 3D word art and grabbing a python, and saying "Crikey! You beauty!"

it's 8:14 in the morning, what's going on

My dad is for some reason watching the EU Parliament/congress thing.

1-Were is everyone? It seems most of the seats are empty.
2-It seems very chill.

1-Were is everyone? It seems most of the seats are empty.
2-It seems very chill.

1: The EU Parliamentary elections have such little interest that the candidates never even both checking if they've won, hence they never delve into the depths of Brussels.
2: I'm pretty sure the vast majority of government processes are incredibly sedate. Though my perception might be coloured by the fact that my latest foray into that was watching the US Senate on C-Span and witnessing Mitch McConnell propose what days the Senate would be taking off or just coming into work but not actually conducting any government business, with his trademark Brontosaurus-esque alacrity.

Mitch McConnell is not a Brontosaurus, he is a turtle. Get it right you bigot.

British parliamentary, though; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VTdgB03pk4
some of which has carried over to the Australian parliamentary, and I suspect, the Canadian (though proroguing is weird)

Am I watching a government body at work or high school?

I'm not disrespecting him, to the contrary, I'm honouring his memory

That was unintentional, but your wit was too sharp.

Interestingly enough, I was learning Python last term, and I think we're currently doing something with C

This region management thing is fun as fuck.

I know what you mean. Managing an entire region of one nation is just the best.
