(13:31:11) Aaron B: i've taken to calling lots of things adventures now

(13:31:17) Aaron B: like, if i get lost -- that's an adventure

(13:31:30) Aaron B: forgot to buy something at the grocery and have to go back -- an adventure

(13:31:35) Aaron B: it makes me feel like my life is exciting

(13:31:57) Aaron B: i haven't yet gotten so desperate that i need to "adventure" to the living room

(23:17:03) [me]: ROFL

(23:17:08) Aaron B: ?

(23:18:29) [me]: just the way you talk about phonology

(23:18:38) Aaron B: how's that?

(23:18:45) Aaron B: like it's baseball cards?

(23:19:01) [me]: hah, no, like the actually processes are people

(23:19:08) Aaron B: oh, they totally are

(23:19:12) Aaron B: that's how i understand things

(23:19:18) Aaron B: segments are "doods"

(23:19:21) Aaron B: processes are things doods do

(23:19:41) Aaron B: constraints are like guys with whips

(23:19:55) Aaron B: bein' all like "dood, do this or i'll whip you"

(23:20:15) Aaron B: and are like "yeah, i know the dood to my right is going to whip you, but imma whip you harder if you don't satisfy me"

(22:54:40) [me]: /r/ → [j] → ∅

(22:55:33) Aaron B: ??

(22:55:41) Aaron B: whatʼs the second arrow mean?

(22:56:08) Aaron B: /input/ -> [output] -> telepathy?

(22:56:18) Aaron B: that would explain the sound/no sound alternation...

...

(22:57:12) Aaron B: if that's the case, then there might be a weird kind of suppletion thing going on

Left-over master's thesis? Those things are like a surgeon's tool that gets left inside the body.

(16:27:22) kesuari: is *that* what causes that bug?

(16:27:27) kesuari: i hadn't worked it out yet

(16:27:30) kesuari: but you could easily be right!

(16:27:33) [me]: that's what I assumed it was

(16:27:36) [me]: and of course I'm right

(16:27:50) kesuari: including about all the contradictory things you might've said about l/n?

(16:28:02) [me]: that's all just theory

(16:28:07) [me]: there's no way to be right for sure ;)

(16:28:21) kesuari: but if you contradict yourself, you must be wrong

(16:28:32) [me]: no, just stating theories

(16:28:32) kesuari: especially if you begin the contradiction by saying "oh, i was wrong before"

(16:28:39) [me]: have I said that?

(16:28:42) [me]: .. probably actually

(16:28:43) kesuari: i don't know

(16:28:45) kesuari: i'm assuming you have

(16:28:50) kesuari: because it makes my theory make you look bad

(14:15:48) [me]: every time I think back to how I thought about things in high school, central asia makes a lot more sense

(14:15:56) [me]: very provincial and uninformed about things

(14:16:12) Michaela: heh

(14:16:55) Michaela: you know, it's true--even thinking about things like the way people used to write in middle/high school--the quality of their writing makes a lot more sense

(14:17:45) Michaela: i remember telling my mom, "It's like, there's no one here that knows how to think outside the box." she said, "Honey, they don't even know that there is a box."

(16:48:45) kesuari: a place where not only it snows, but it gets to 30 °

(16:48:48) kesuari: that sounds awesome

(16:48:54) kesuari: do they keep any of them in civilised countries?

(16:49:00) [me]: heh

(16:49:05) [me]: much of the U.S. is like that

(16:49:22) kesuari: as i said, in civilised countries?
