@jezza Bringing the idea of fanfic in is perfect. We need to copy and make derivative artwork to some extent to be creative!

How many Spiel des Jahres games have you played?

Do you ever fill out a captcha, fail, and think "oh, I interpreted the instructions too much like a computer would?"

@jezza I like that logic!

The funniest thing for me reading about this is that public art is un-photographable assuming the copyright hasn't expired in Greece (where no one takes pictures of anything less than 2000 years old) and also in lots of African and impoverished nations, where there's maybe one statue in the whole country.

Starting a list of weird rules that seem counterintuitive because after I learned that there's places in which it's illegal to record a conversation you are having without informing the other parties, now I'm learning that there's places where it's illegal to photograph public art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama

@brad_frost I quote Toy Story more than anything else.

@jezza We need two separate styles of coffeeshop! One that's quick, in-and-out caffeine and the other is slow experiences

I have no interest in a "coffee replacement"

Get me an espresso replacement and we can talk.

@jezza As a member of the Autism Community (apparently) I fully agree!

People saying things like "we don't live in a state of anarchy, we live in a society" drive me up the wall. It's such a basic category error but also muddies the definition of both nouns

@mike It's funny-not-funny how much we have to rely on the tv's ever-bloating OS just to get it to show something via HDMI

@mike Back when I was a kid, the OS was contained in a reasonably-cheaply-replaceable set-top box and I miss those days

@mike Yes! Reading about stuff like this makes me wish I were a tad older and/or had less protective parents. (Though I do remember hearing about this particular thing)

@vga um, okay?

@progo With great power comes great incompetence apparently!

@jezza Haha well this is a good one!
