That doesn't look Australian. I understood it.

Matt Ellen, United Kingdom
6.7k 2 52 76
6668, the number of the beast
6.7 isn't quite as ominous
14:11
@MattE.Эллен You know what's ominous?
THAT IS WRONG
It does not define itself. AT ALL.
It is an example of something that a person with that condition would be triggered by.
But it is not autologous.
grinds teeth
to a point
like Ferengis
considers ear augmentation surgery
everybody is doing it
14:42
@Mitch seems to have triggered you, too!
15:33
@MattE.Эллен Triggers-long-word-o-phobia triggers fears of long words
Anyway, that article was written by an intern. Mostly references to "The Far Side" which is not a terrible thing to do.
Also not autologous:
Aibohphobia - fear of palindromes

"autologous" or "autological"?
@geekahedron Why not both
now I'm trying to think of an example that is both
17:39
@geekahedron Is there an example where it is neither?
Wait...
Are there examples of one and not the other?
as I understand it, the two words have completely different meanings
"autologous" means "having the same origin," to take a loose interpretation of the medical term
"autological" means "self-descriptive" the way we've been using it here
@MattE.Эллен Oh, dear.
You must defeat her!
Programming in C Sharp, no less.

@geekahedron I suppose this autologous was formed by analogy with analogous or something?
Because it's somewhat odd.
I think it formed from "homologous" and "heterologous" to describe the scenario, somewhat unique to medicine, of being derived from oneself
which, now that I say it, is a much better definition than my previous
@geekahedron Ah, yes.
Homologous, from logos in the sense "proportion".
Or even "relation".
18:45
@geekahedron Hm... I had alwys used -logical but recently saw that people where using -logous for the descriptors of words. But maybe the more recent ones are wrong.
Also, there's homologous (having similar origin, like an arm or a flipper) and analogous (having similar function, like a bird wing and a butterfly wing)
But in math, a homology (or just homology for the general study) is a mapping, really a functor, between abelian categories. But in math, an analogy is just fuzzy thinking.
That's like something Rutherford would have said.
If he was a mathematician.
Oh Rutherford. You missed your chance
Math sucks. – Aristotle
Plato was boring - Nietzsche
You should be doing something useful with your life right now. – Kant
UR FACE – Einstein
19:01
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ "WHAT?" - The US Naturalization judge after Einstein explained at his citizenship hearing that the US Constitution was 1) not logically consistent, and 2) could allow the voting in of a dictator.
Oh shit.
@Mitch I like this guy. Smartass
19:17
Just like the Bible.

@Robusto what would you say what key this piece is in: musescore.com/user/27897310/scores/5406112
Because someone just commented on it asking me what key it was in. And frankly, I do not know what to say.
