The steering wheel is umber. w/e I don't feel like discussing business administration with u[2018-3-15. : 3:43 am]  jjf28 -- DarkenedFantasiesDarkenedFantasies shouted: 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. "related to politics" quote --> politician --> politics, frankly I could claim your discussion was anything which uses an adjective defined as "of or relating to x" so long as I could find some chain of related things between the two - if it's a short chain with strong links, it's a good descriptor, if it's a longer chain with weaker links (e.g. I could call it nautical cause quote -> trump -> overseas investments -> seas -> sailing -> nautical) it's a bad descriptor/misleading, though not strictly incorrect, if it also only tells us something already known by the audience (Trump's involved in politics) it's redudant[2018-3-15. : 3:39 am]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- DarkenedFantasiesDarkenedFantasies shouted: It would be like saying that I was discussing driving because two people were arguing which direction they should turn the black steering wheel, and I chimed in saying the steering wheel it actually dark brown.

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] jjf28 -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: or, if the conversation of those attributes is only and solely being raised because of their profession, then that too thekianthekian 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. LanthanideLanthanide 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] thekian -- Mini Moose 2707Mini 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] 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. : 2:47 am] jjf28 -- LanthanideLanthanide 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  [2018-3-15. : 2:45 am] DarkenedFantasies -- jjf28jjf28 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." jjf28jjf28 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.
