    Eh, a [chat]'s a [chat]

    if you can chat in it, it is a [chat]

    But is the ability to act as a [chat] really the signifier of being a [chat]? If we [chat] in something that we don't call a [chat], is it still a [chat] or simply [chat]-like? </Poldy>

    If a [chat] thread is posted in the woods and no one's around to post in it, is it still a [chat]? Or is a [chat] defined by its acting function, not whatever its intended?

    If a [chat] is defined merely by it's acting function, then when does an object become a [chat]? Is it upon the moment of first [chat]ing? Also, if the ability to [chat] in a thing is removed, say by a mod locking said thing, does it cease to be a [chat]? Is it right for us to refer to them still as [chat]s? Should we not refer to them as "past threads that once was a [chat]"?

    More importantly, for those moments when [chat] seems to solidify temporarily on one topic, making it the focus of [chat] for some time, effectively turning the thread into a discussion thread for that topic, does [chat] cease to be a [chat] for that time until [chat] resumes its normal atmosphere?

    I don't think so. At those points, the [chat] is both a [chat] and not a [chat]. It is focused on a single topic, making it (according to our acting function hypothesis) a discussion thread, but at the same time the thread has not lost its function to facilitate [chat], thus remaining a [chat]. Thus, it is both a [chat] and not a [chat]. What implications does this possibility for a thread to A) have two or more simultaneous functions and B) for some subset of those functions to be seemingly contradictory have?

    Went to see Green Lantern tonight.

    The girl loved it. I'm giving it a solid "meh"

    I just can't get over the stunning absence of anything even seeming to be remotely related to motivation.

    Except Parallax, who basically had all the motivation he needed.

    BobCesca wins the Breakfast Category.

    Later today I'll find out if my moving really is delayed to July 1st. In light of the tensions at Short Strand, It's kinda given a stronger urgency to leave, though the road I'm actually on has been pretty peaceful.

    Ooh, we could have any number of thread combinations, different variations of [chat], a good justification for multiple [chat] threads, each performing a function aside from being a [chat], lower in priority to its primary function. This requires further study.

    Either he's a rain deity or he has a large bladder. I think Chu needs to use Occam's razor to determine which one is more likely.

    Seriously, this shit is gold:
    Commenter: “Edy Williams”
    Site: Huffington Post
    Wait, Edy Wiliams the actress who had parts in The Beverly
    Hillbillies, Lost In Space, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, among many others, and was married to Russ Meyer, who directed Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill?: Yes. It’s actually her.
    Interests: Animals, celebrities

    ...

    On news that Knut, a newly deceased polar bear, might be stuffed:
    “Knut ‘stuffed’? I was Taken back, stunned, isnt this very Drastic? If perhaps one could be ‘knut,’ would you want to be? Dont think so. Seems poor taste. Would jokes, ridicule follow. Let poor ‘knut’ REST IN PEACE. He gave his all, four years. Seems Not appropriate. Its not like ‘wax museum’ or a Mannequin. This was an adored, loved, Living Bear. Isnt there a way in better Taste. A Magnificent Statue? There are famous sculptors in Germany, a Donation for ‘K’!”
