Byzantine posted:The really weird thing? Uranus is the Latinized Greek name of the god. The Roman equivalent was Caelus, and the original Greek was Οὐρανός, pronounced like "oorah-nose".

Tiggum posted:Well, if you're talking about the modern pronunciation, that's the anglicised version of of the latinised version of the Greek name. The Latin pronunciation would be more like oo-rah-noos rather than yuh-rain-us. Wait, so the marines are secretly a pagan greek cult?

You'd have to be high as poo poo to think this was a good idea. I wonder if the owner of those drugs thought that flying rat city pigeons were the same as carrier pigeons

They found 200 ecstasy pills, but probably missed the other 100,000 that pigeons have carried in over the last decade. City pigeons are just as trainable as a carrier pigeon.

I've always wondered how a few strands of silk could provide the necessary lift. Now I know: spiders can harness the elemental forces of the universe.

Completely believable opening in this opinion piece from a local retired psychology professor:quote:I was researching the video game “Fortnite” and I asked my 18 year old son, Jackson, if he knew about it. He said, “It is consuming society. It is taking away people from real life and putting them in a violent universe. Parents who take the game away have to deal with the kids who become violent like the game.”

The argument is not new, but the classics stick around. And, I guess I should also say, there may be some merit to those old fears. Take that as an admission that I am old now. Surrender to reality, and then cope with it best you can.

Surrender to reality, and then cope with it best you can. IIRC, the science says that art can’t encourage specific behaviour (so playing TF2 won’t make you blow off your own feet with a bazooka), but it can influence your worldview (so it may well help you think of Germans as psychotic mad scientists and Russians as big, violent, and none too bright, and make you slightly more open to the idea of solving problems through violence). Which isn’t really all that surprising when you think about it - how many cultural mores and perspectives on the world did you pick up from the entertainment you consume?

Video games are not exempt from scrutiny you would give any other form of art. I personally picked up nihilism, communism, mysticism, etc. (from books mostly) but I am a terrible nerd and most people will not have the same experience.
