[2018-3-15. : 3:30 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- I don't see how it can be technically correct. The profession of the quote's author is irrelevant to the points I was making. Maybe it was a political discussion for Nude and whoever else he was arguing with, but I was not concerned with his arguments; only with his interpretation of a statement. Claiming that I was discussing politics is incorrect.

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- thekian
thekian shouted: "Maths"
"maths" is non-American for "math". Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: typically abbreviations retain their pluralit
Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: plurality*
I agree that it is not plural XD

jjf28 -- DarkenedFantasies
DarkenedFantasies shouted: jjf28 jjf28 I'm not discussing a politician, I'm strictly talking about Nude's interpretation of the politician's quote. It doesn't matter whether it was said by a politician or a plumber or a talking baby doll, hence: DarkenedFantasies
as to the original point I'll give up the characterization of the discussion as political in the colloquial sense and wouldn't use that wording again cause it's misleading and redundant, though using my and thekian's definitions I'd defend it being technically correct
[2018-3-15. : 2:53 am]
thekian -- ikr
[2018-3-15. : 2:53 am]
jjf28 -- hmm... SEN rearranging my quotes
[2018-3-15. : 2:53 am]
jjf28 -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: or, if the conversation of those attributes is only and solely being raised because of their profession, then that too
thekian
thekian shouted: Shouldn't it be 3 overlapping circles?
that would be correct if there was some direct connection between the discussion and politics, e.g. Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: if those attributes have a readily apparent link to their profession, then it is reasonable to say the conversation is related to their profession
[2018-3-15. : 2:52 am]
Lanthanide -- 5 would be more olympic

Mini Moose 2707 shouted: This shoutbox moving up the spectrum at an alarming rate LMAO
PLEASE JUST MUTE US ALL OR SOMETHING
[2018-3-15. : 2:52 am]
thekian -- Shouldn't it be 3 overlapping circles?

[2018-3-15. : 2:52 am]
jjf28 -- https://puu.sh/zHSVL/4722bc1895.png I mean we have two sets, and a connector between the set (aka a relation), it's just an indirect relation rather than a direct relation
[2018-3-15. : 2:51 am]
thekian -- SO SINCE MATHEMATICS IS NOT PLURAL, THEREFORE, THE ABBREVIATION NEED NOT BE PLURAL
[2018-3-15. : 2:51 am]
Lanthanide -- thanks for proving my point
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
Lanthanide -- I agree "Mathematic" isn't a word
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
thekian -- But collective
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
thekian -- So it's not actually plural
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
thekian -- Or a word
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
thekian -- Mathematic isn't a noun
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
thekian -- But
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
Lanthanide -- plurality*
[2018-3-15. : 2:50 am]
Lanthanide -- typically abbreviations retain their pluralit
[2018-3-15. : 2:49 am]
thekian -- n00b
[2018-3-15. : 2:49 am]
thekian -- "Math" is short for "Mathematics".
[2018-3-15. : 2:49 am]
Lanthanide -- like, you need multiples otherwise you can't do a lot
[2018-3-15. : 2:49 am]
Lanthanide -- studying just "mathematic" would seem to be silly
[2018-3-15. : 2:49 am]
thekian -- It's 'math'.
[2018-3-15. : 2:49 am]
thekian -- Nu
[2018-3-15. : 2:48 am]
Lanthanide -- yes, short for Mathematics
[2018-3-15. : 2:48 am]
thekian -- "Maths"
[2018-3-15. : 2:48 am]
Lanthanide -- pfft, bringing maths to a language problem
[2018-3-15. : 2:47 am]
jjf28 -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: you might be, but I know I'm right
so you're saying no relation is there, I think I can graph our disconnect actually :P
[2018-3-15. : 2:45 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- jjf28
jjf28 shouted: DarkenedFantasies "politics: the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power."
jjf28
jjf28 shouted: discussing a politician is by definition political
I'm not discussing a politician, I'm strictly talking about Nude's interpretation of the politician's quote. It doesn't matter whether it was said by a politician or a plumber or a talking baby doll, hence: DarkenedFantasies
DarkenedFantasies shouted: Just because it's about Trump doesn't make it political LMA0. Could've been about just some random dude's vlog from YouTube, wouldn't have changed anything. nice meme :prof:
[2018-3-15. : 2:44 am]
Lanthanide -- you might be, but I know I'm right
[2018-3-15. : 2:43 am]
jjf28 -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: I think it's possible to talk about attributes of a person, where those attributes have no real link to their profession, and for that conversation to be not said to be related to that persons profession
the relation is there, now we're just quibbling over what intensity of the relationship justifies using the term, no?
[2018-3-15. : 2:43 am]
thekian -- By the way, any of you watch Starcrafts?
[2018-3-15. : 2:43 am]
Lanthanide -- works well as an eggcorn though
[2018-3-15. : 2:43 am]
Lanthanide -- spellcheck failed me
[2018-3-15. : 2:42 am]
thekian -- "Hotelliar" -Lanthanide
[2018-3-15. : 2:42 am]
Lanthanide -- that's not a great analogy but I couldn't think of one
[2018-3-15. : 2:41 am]
thekian -- TBH I suspect he may simply be a misanthrope.
[2018-3-15. : 2:41 am]
Lanthanide -- but if we're talking about Trump in relation to building a hotel, it's most likely because he's a famous hotelliar
[2018-3-15. : 2:40 am]
Lanthanide -- like, we can freely talk about Trump being a misogynist because we can talk about anyone being a misogynist
[2018-3-15. : 2:40 am]
thekian -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: or, if the conversation of those attributes is only and solely being raised because of their profession, then that too
But is it being raised because of his profession, or because of the publicity which results from his profession? Is there a real difference?
[2018-3-15. : 2:39 am]
Lanthanide -- or, if the conversation of those attributes is only and solely being raised because of their profession, then that too
[2018-3-15. : 2:39 am]
Lanthanide -- if those attributes have a readily apparent link to their profession, then it is reasonable to say the conversation is related to their profession
[2018-3-15. : 2:39 am]
Lanthanide -- I think it's possible to talk about attributes of a person, where those attributes have no real link to their profession, and for that conversation to be not said to be related to that persons profession
[2018-3-15. : 2:38 am]
thekian -- It's the voices' fault!
[2018-3-15. : 2:38 am]
Lanthanide -- well we fundamentally disagree then, even though you agreed with me earlier
[2018-3-15. : 2:37 am]
thekian -- I'm pretty sure that's what getting music stuck in your head actually is.
[2018-3-15. : 2:37 am]
Lanthanide -- like, you could perpetually have elevator music in your head
[2018-3-15. : 2:37 am]
jjf28 -- Lanthanide
Lanthanide shouted: "that person, who used to be a farmer, has a nice straw hat on today" is not agricultural
I would say the characterization of the discussion as agricultural would be redundant and misleading, though technically accurate if using the definition "of or related to agriculture"
[2018-3-15. : 2:37 am]
Lanthanide -- or perhaps music
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
Lanthanide -- or animal noises or something
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
Lanthanide -- they'd be like moaning noises
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
Lanthanide -- otherwise, they wouldn't be voices, would they?
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
Lanthanide -- is my point
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
Lanthanide -- they may not be any good at it, but they still can do it
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
thekian -- Er
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
thekian -- I mean
[2018-3-15. : 2:36 am]
thekian -- Actually, they frequently tell me that they aren't much good at speaking for themselves.
[2018-3-15. : 2:35 am]
Lanthanide -- anyone being outside actors; the voices in your head may have, I can't speak for them (they can speak for themselves)
[2018-3-15. : 2:35 am]
Lanthanide -- that's quite a leap of assumption, and I don't think anyone 'forced' that upon you
[2018-3-15. : 2:34 am]
thekian -- No, but I -am- forced to assume that you are part of some anti-farmer group and you're pointing out that he used to be a farmer (something which is now, of course, an inherent part of him) to your fellows so that you may all kill him.
[2018-3-15. : 2:33 am]
Lanthanide -- "that person, who used to be a farmer, has a nice straw hat on today" is not agricultural
[2018-3-15. : 2:33 am]
jjf28 -- thekian
thekian shouted: An inherent property is a property that is inherent to a being. By the logic of something being "burned into their past", you are inherently related to toilets because you have gone to the bathroom.
and I would totally agree that me and toilets are inherently related, being related is a very weak qualifier
[2018-3-15. : 2:33 am]
Lanthanide -- jjf28
jjf28 shouted: Lanthanide having some relation to agriculture though is permanent and inseparable, once they've done it it's burned into their past, and the relationship is there
but that doesn't mean that if I talk about any aspect of someone who once was a farmer, that I'm engaging in an agricultural discussion, does it?
[2018-3-15. : 2:33 am]
jjf28 -- I disagree but that's a much longer much more nuanced discussion
[2018-3-15. : 2:32 am]
thekian -- Technically, all correct definitions are tautological.
[2018-3-15. : 2:32 am]
jjf28 -- thekian
thekian shouted: An inherent property is a property that is inherent to a being. By the logic of something being "burned into their past", you are inherently related to toilets because you have gone to the bathroom.
need I point out that your definition here is entirely circular?
[2018-3-15. : 2:31 am]
thekian -- An inherent property is a property that is inherent to a being. By the logic of something being "burned into their past", you are inherently related to toilets because you have gone to the bathroom.
