O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: you should watch this John Oliver piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xecEV4dSAXE
if I'd had that, I could've been doing something more productive at work xD

[2017-2-17. : 4:56 am]
Lanthanide -- Sean Spicer defended Trump lying by saying they are "things that Trump believes"
[2017-2-17. : 4:56 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I really wanted to bring up alternative facts, but since, as I said, I've been ignoring I don't know how memey that actually is and I didn't want to just fuel the argument xD
[2017-2-17. : 4:55 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: sounds like he's tuned in to the alternative facts universe
I think so too, but I've been ignoring it enough to not actually know what he's referring to
[2017-2-17. : 4:55 am]
Lanthanide -- well, people have protested stuff Trump has done - but that's because the things he's done are protest-worthy
[2017-2-17. : 4:54 am]
Lanthanide -- sounds like he's tuned in to the alternative facts universe
[2017-2-17. : 4:54 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: everyone is giving Trump a lot of leeway; if other politicians acted the way he does they'd get crucified
my dad's argument was the opposite of this xD like "trump does something and people are in the street burning cars!"
[2017-2-17. : 4:53 am]
Lanthanide -- but 'Trump is Trump' so it seems people don't care
[2017-2-17. : 4:53 am]
Lanthanide -- everyone is giving Trump a lot of leeway; if other politicians acted the way he does they'd get crucified
[2017-2-17. : 4:52 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I meant to say I don't understand that
[2017-2-17. : 4:52 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- also when obammur wants to change stuff people are like "OH GOD HE'S CHANGING THINGS EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE IN RUIN!", then those same people are like "Trump's changing things, just sit back and see how this plays out if we/you don't like it then it can change it when he leaves" and then decry those who have the same reactions but in reverse ;o
[2017-2-17. : 4:45 am]
Lanthanide -- haha
[2017-2-17. : 4:44 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- oh, speaking of NZ, my dad was going on some pro-trump tirade like IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN GO LOOK AT WHERE ELSE YOU COULD BE LIVING (referring to 3rd world/warring/whatever countries) and I was like "NZ is a thing. They seem alright."
[2017-2-17. : 4:44 am]
Lanthanide -- oh yeah, she called the interview a "sanctimonious little creep"
[2017-2-17. : 4:43 am]
Lanthanide -- everyone remembers it for how the PM reacted
[2017-2-17. : 4:42 am]
Lanthanide -- as it turns out, the GE corn allegations were significantly overblown
[2017-2-17. : 4:42 am]
Lanthanide -- she was so angry she got up and walked out of the interview
[2017-2-17. : 4:42 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I was mostly looking for gategate
[2017-2-17. : 4:42 am]
Lanthanide -- it was when a notable television interviewer 'ambushed' our prime minister on live TV about allegations around genetically modified corn
[2017-2-17. : 4:42 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I saw ito n the list of -gates, but didn't read it because it wasn't funny
[2017-2-17. : 4:41 am]
Lanthanide -- corngate is the biggest one I can recall in NZ
[2017-2-17. : 4:41 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- watercorn
[2017-2-17. : 4:41 am]
Lanthanide -- also "-gate" can imply a dodgy situation or ongoing investigation of such, whereas "scandal" is drawing a conclusion that there is a problem
[2017-2-17. : 4:40 am]
Lanthanide -- it's easier to say "corngate" than it is to say "GE corn scandal" for example
[2017-2-17. : 4:40 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- but everything has to have an outrageous buzzword as a name ;o
[2017-2-17. : 4:39 am]
NudeRaider -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: -gate is such a stupid suffix
better than a water- prefix tho :P
[2017-2-17. : 4:39 am]
Lanthanide -- but it's not terribly surprising, since it's a single syllable, is a generally uncommon word and is easily distinguished from other words
[2017-2-17. : 4:38 am]
Lanthanide -- -gate is such a stupid suffix
[2017-2-17. : 4:38 am]
NudeRaider -- :farty: :teach:
[2017-2-17. : 4:38 am]
NudeRaider -- Farty is so good at explaining stuff
[2017-2-17. : 4:38 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- and then successive scandals were called Networks
[2017-2-17. : 4:37 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- like if SEN were involved in some huge scandal, and we called it the "Staredit Network Scandal"
[2017-2-17. : 4:37 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Watergate was literally called Watergate
[2017-2-17. : 4:36 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Watergate is what the name is referring to
[2017-2-17. : 4:36 am]
NudeRaider -- *afaik
[2017-2-17. : 4:36 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- the first -gate, other than the Watergate, was in 1976 ;o
[2017-2-17. : 4:36 am]
jjf28 -- why didn't you DODGEEEE
[2017-2-17. : 4:36 am]
NudeRaider -- watergate was the first imo
[2017-2-17. : 4:36 am]
NudeRaider -- LoveLess
LoveLess shouted: I am still mad that :cube: was my avatar the entire time on Maplantis, then it shut down and it was made an emote here, give me some credit man :lovel: or something
you don't understand. The lack of credit is love less. Which is SENs subtle way of giving credit.
[2017-2-17. : 4:35 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I didn't realizing suffixing scandals with -gate was so old
[2017-2-17. : 4:34 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- aw, gategate was already a -gate in like 2012
[2017-2-17. : 4:30 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- #OrangeGate
[2017-2-17. : 4:30 am]
LoveLess -- #freetheorange
[2017-2-17. : 4:29 am]
LoveLess -- Moose bring back the orange
[2017-2-17. : 4:29 am]
jjf28 -- :aofst:
[2017-2-17. : 4:28 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- but at least we can all have a good laugh about it :payne:
[2017-2-17. : 4:28 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I do too sometimes because it was an item in the store that he paid for, and then people were just like LOL NOPE
[2017-2-17. : 4:27 am]
LoveLess -- Miss that little orange emote
[2017-2-17. : 4:27 am]
LoveLess -- I also feel bad for :payne:
[2017-2-17. : 4:27 am]
LoveLess -- I am still mad that :cube: was my avatar the entire time on Maplantis, then it shut down and it was made an emote here, give me some credit man :lovel: or something
[2017-2-17. : 4:27 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- like you couldn't confuse that for classic rock or hip-hop or southern rock or whatever
[2017-2-17. : 4:26 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I don't feel like alternative is a garbage bin, things that are alternative definitely are distinct from those that aren't ;o
[2017-2-17. : 4:25 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- which makes sense, because a lot of things that are post-punk are still considered alternative xD
[2017-2-17. : 4:23 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- "Alternative rock Stylistic origins Punk rock post-punk new wave hardcore punk"
[2017-2-17. : 4:23 am]
NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: FaRTy1billion you can't just put anything you can't put your finger on into alternative. It has a direction of its own. Don't declassify it to "musical garbage bin" pls. :P
apparently I should've said 'denigrate' instead of declassify
[2017-2-17. : 4:23 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- according to wikipedia, alternative itself is a derivative of punk rock :P
[2017-2-17. : 4:22 am]
Lanthanide -- it just collects all sorts of random crap that doesn't obviously fit elsewhere
[2017-2-17. : 4:22 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- like you either list every possible genre, or you call it "alternative"
[2017-2-17. : 4:22 am]
Lanthanide -- same thing happens in large programming projects where you name a file "common"
[2017-2-17. : 4:22 am]
Lanthanide -- well that's what you get when you name a genre as literally "not that other genre"
[2017-2-17. : 4:21 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I feel like it's because at that point all of the genres are so intertwined that you can't really pick one out (as evident by the wikipedia list)
[2017-2-17. : 4:21 am]
NudeRaider -- FaRTy1billion
FaRTy1billion shouted: I think that's what the alternative genre is for xD
you can't just put anything you can't put your finger on into alternative. It has a direction of its own. Don't declassify it to "musical garbage bin" pls. :P
[2017-2-17. : 4:20 am]
Lanthanide -- people were like "ah fuck it, just call it alternative"
[2017-2-17. : 4:20 am]
Lanthanide -- yip
[2017-2-17. : 4:20 am]
O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I think that's what the alternative genre is for xD
[2017-2-17. : 4:19 am]
NudeRaider -- FaRTy1billion
FaRTy1billion shouted: also later punk styles don't sound anything like punk, like emo ;o
I guess that's the problem. I feel like there should be an own (sub-)genre for this kind of stuff. But since there isn't you can only try to fit it into genres that aren't really that. Anyways, I'd say it has traits of rock (most), punk and maybe alternative too.
[2017-2-17. : 4:18 am]
Lanthanide -- well I hadn't, but I'm glad that I now know
