I am still awake!
 
1:07 AM
@Arrowfar my comment is still there, isn't it?
 
@Mitch What do you think of my new pic?
 
It's so small.
Oh...the Bieb?
I liked your boyhood picture. Needs a smile though. So serious.
 
@Mitch I was pretending to be deep in thought, lol.
@Mitch Yes, I think JB looks very cute here.
@mitch Are there a considerable number of people against porn in the US? Just curious.
 
@JasperLoy All moms of sons, yes.
 
@Mitch Really? Don't joke.
 
1:18 AM
Joking sort of. Moms disapprove of lots of things.
 
I guess there are many people who think like Rick Santorum.
 
Oh, that. I think more people think he is backwards.
 
2:07 AM
@Mitch Urban Dictionary: santorum
The campaign for the neologism "santorum" started with a contest held in May 2003 by Dan Savage, a columnist and LGBT rights activist. Savage asked his readers to create a definition for the word "santorum" in response to then-U.S. Senator Rick Santorum's views on homosexuality, and comments about same sex marriage. In his comments, Santorum had stated that "In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be." Savage announced the winning...

Q: What do you call someone who speaks contrary to what they do?

Moemen ShahawyWhat do you call someone who speaks contrary to what they do? Like if they always talk about giving and charity, yet they never do it. Or for example someone who speaks against war yet they participate in it. I knew a word but can't remember it, driving me crazy!

Didn’t even do that on purpose.

Bang.
 
@tchrist I don't know what to say.
 
@Cerberus Oh don’t worry: I realize that with great powers comes great getting-bitched-at-about-it.
 
2:12 AM
@Cerberus Surely one of your heads can come up with something.
 
I didn't know this either.
@Robusto woof
 
Heads? Mmm.
 
So was George P suspended? I must have missed something.
 
He wasn't. I don't know what he deleted though.

Hush, dear, grownups are talking.
Chef is a 2014 American comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Jon Favreau, and starring Favreau, Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert Downey, Jr. Favreau plays a professional chef who, after a public altercation with a food critic, quits his job at a popular Los Angeles restaurant and returns to his home town of Miami to fix up a food truck. He reconnects with his ex-wife and invites their young son to join him in driving the truck back to L.A. while selling Cubanos in various cities along the way. Favreau wrote...
A fun film. Wife and I just saw it tonight.
 
2:15 AM
@Robusto He was, if I remember correctly. Don't say anyway, @RegDwigнt.
 
I tried to close-cap today, but the queue ran out before my close votes did. Kind of unusual.
 
I'm sorry to hear that.
 
Yayus.
 
Is that a southern accent?
 
2:29 AM
@Robusto I was not so lucky.
@Cerberus There are so few users with gold tag badges that it rarely comes up.
At least, on ELU. On SO, it is of course much more common.
 
Hmm there are a couple of single-word whores...
 
There are extremely few non-reputation-based privileges.
I can only think of one other.
Well, two.
But the second is a bit of a cheat.
 
I can think of none.
 
Do you want me to tell you?
BTW, I have 5 silver tag badges, so this too shall someday come.
One or two of which are even respectable.
Gold badge mod powers for dup closing and unclosing is #0.
And just being a mod is #2, the one I said is a bit of a cheat.
What is #1?
Voting on suggested tag synonyms is #1.
Regarding #0, this also means that if a gold badger finds something closed to the WRONG dup, he can unclose and reclose it to the correct one all by himself in a jiffy.
But that is not a separate power. Tag synonym voting is.
And not worth the paper it’s printed on.
 
Respectable, even!
Voting on suggested tag synonyms, I barely even know what that means.
Do you ever use tags on SE?
 
2:42 AM
tags Cerberus
Damn it, that cost thrice as much as a normal dog licence.
 
Bwah.
shakes off tag
I can't be bought for a licence!

@Robusto Once your parking lot lies opposite your church, what would you need another preposition for after? :)

I use ditransitive because most linguists do
 
Anonymous
I see bitransitive once in a while.
 
Anonymous
The difference doesn't matter to me, personally.

(I saw a comment recently about ditransitive versus bitransitive on ELU)
 
I was just about to start an argument in the physics room by saying "axiomized physics is called applied math" :P
 
6:01 AM
@snailboat Bitransitive is better, since di- is Greek and transitive Latin.
 
Anonymous
@Cerberus Yes, I suppose I might take that into account if I were coining the word anew
 
Good.
If only people coining new Latinate words asked a classicist, the world would be a much better place.

@IceGirl That's homework, I assume? How exactly are you supposed to do it?

Are you supposed to know all of those phrases already?

@Cerberus Hence my commented-upon comment.
Why monotransitive and ditransitive instead of unitransitive and bitransitive? — tchrist 14 hours ago
It’s all a bit rancid of a wordage.
Is this justified? I don’t know.
Whoa! One question at a time. Can you post a new question picking up one item to start with? This has to go as too-broad. (I was actually tempted to start answering but sorry, that would be beyond the scope of a Q&A page such as this.) — Kris 14 mins ago

@tchrist Why should we care about frequencies?
Does murder become commendable if it is committed more often?

@tchrist I think we came to the same conclusion independently. That was the first thing I did when I got up this morning.
Well, online.

Hi!
 
Hi!
 
Hi!
 
6:02 PM
What's cooking?
 
6:15 PM
I'm revisiting the elementary school question, "How many sides does a circle have?"
 
I don't think it is proper to speak of sides regarding a circle?
 
In terms of classical geometry, you are correct.
The more common interpretation of the question is "2 sides, inside and outside."

hi
 
user116848
@IceBoy How are you skull?
 
user116848
So, I still say 'skull' because I don't feel like writing 'Ice boy' :-)
 
6:33 PM
@IceBoy Haha, I suppose you could read it like that...
 
@Arrowfar Fine thanks, how are you?
 
user116848
@IceBoy I am fine. Thanks!
 
user116848
So, you have a new 'identity' now.

for now

@JasperLoy yes, you killed my father.
and raped my sister.
 
@GeorgePompidou You should go easy, in case you get flagged by others.
 
Greetings!
 
flagged?
 
You know you can flag posts that you think need moderator attention, right?
 
9:33 PM
that explains so much
of why I always get banned from here
 
I never flag anything. I am more concerned about gays being executed in Iran than stupid chat messages.
3
 
I'm more concerned about my job, friends, and school work.
am I the only one more concerned about my own life than about things on the internet and television?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes, jeez
 
@JasperLoy Star.
@GeorgePompidou Mmm no?
 
@GeorgePompidou Check the little inscribed code on your pills: if it says LSD, MDA, MDMA, or CDMA, then you probably are.
 
anyway my rationale is at least if I get flagged, I'm not the butthurt dingus flagging messages.
so that's fine.
isn't CDMA what my cellular phone has?
 
9:39 PM
I know, you only do what the voices from your CDMA pill tell you to do.
 
People censor and ban so quickly on the Internet because it is so easy to do.
 
@GeorgePompidou Me too, but I don't have a job or school now you see.
 
that explains why you're so serious on here.
 
Serious? I am not, LOL.
I say the most LOL in this chat, how can I be serious?
 
haha
yeah, how could you?
ya jokester
 
9:41 PM
But @george I find the things you say very weird. Are you very troubled? You can talk to me if you want. I will be your pillar.
 
very troubled
you see, I'm this kid who goes on the internet and talks about my personal life issues
I need help pls
 
9:54 PM
no one can make you grow-up
 
10:21 PM
I'd like to see someone try.
 
parents try
 
I feel that most parents here do not truly love their children, by my own definitions of love and my limited collection of data.
 
now that is a deep thought
 
I think so much about so many things, and I think so differently from most people around me, that I feel I do not belong to my country, or maybe even the world.
I have so many things to say about this sick world.
I have so many hopes for this sick world, things that can only be realised if people start to see things differently.
 
10:36 PM
@JasperLoy Just what kind of pillar are you offering him here, Jasper? The pillars you sleep on, the pillars you get from the pharmacy, or the rising pillars of lascivity unslaked?
 
Tsk.
 
@tchrist A pillar of strength and comfort.
 
@tchrist You slake moth.
If you've read the novel.
 
Mothra (モスラ, Mosura) is a kaiju who first appeared in the Toho's 1961 film Mothra. Mothra has appeared in several Toho tokusatsu films, most often as a recurring character in the Godzilla franchise. == Overview == === Name === The name "Mothra" is the suffixation of "-ra" to the English word "moth"; since the Japanese language does not have dental fricatives, it is approximated "Mosura" in Japanese. The “ra” suffix follows the precedent set by “Gojira”, which in turn is derived from kujira (鯨(クジラ), the Japanese word for “whale,” to indicate the character’s enormous size. === Developme...
