        Luberjack sounds German and therefore, much more kinky. I want to know about your porn.

    Guy enthusiastically explaining something to bored girlfriend in stands of a sports arena meme.

    And then in 1998 Congress passed the so-called “Sonny Bono” Copyright Term Extension Act extending the term of copyright to 95 years for work-for-hire works and life plus 70 years for other works and you wouldn’t believe what Sonny Bono’s widow Congresswoman Mary Bono said about how long copyright terms should last.

      …I wanna know

      source
      • TootSweet@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        You asked for it. ;)

        "Actually, Sonny wanted the term of copyright protection to last forever. I am informed by staff that such a change would violate the Constitution. … As you know, there is also [then-MPAA president] Jack Valenti’s proposal for term to last forever less one day. Perhaps the Committee may look at that next Congress."

        • Mary Bono

        The line in the Constitution that justifies the existence of copyright law in the U.S. specifically requires that copyright last “for limited times.” The “proposal for term to last forever less one day” Mary Bono referenced basically meant that Congress should extend copyright every time anything ever gets too close to entering the public domain.

      The hard part is when you’re super excited that you found another but your stupid mouth makes it come off like you’re one-upping them.

      Then you have to do the weird apology but it’s too late, you’ve already made the energy weird.

    Several people have learned if I warn them an explanation will be long, I don’t mean “oh I like long walks on the beach but after 2 minutes I want to turn around” long. I mean “heat death of the universe” long.

    Example: someone asked me to explain something while playing halo. I told him to make sense of it I need to explain some history, do you want the long version or short version. Long version is long. They said long version. 3 hours later, they fully understood their answer and never asked me to explain anything again.

      • Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I hate my own voice but I love explaining things to interested people.

        No way I’d be able to make lore videos, especially when people like Installation00, Luetin09, Geetsly’s, MetaNerdzLore, Eckhartsladder, and Nerd of the Rings exist.

        Nothing new for me to add, really.

        I could probably talk for hours about Stargate SG1 and it’s spinoffs, there are a few channels dedicated to Stargate stuff but… Content is lacking, in my opinion. One does a podcast though, and uploads hilights of the podcast which I don’t watch/listen to so they probably do a lot more explaining of things there that don’t make it into clips.

        While I’ve gone through all of Luetin09’s videos while awake, I like to throw a playlist on shuffle sometimes to sleep. Something about a British guy talking in a smooth low voice about tyranids attempting to overrun a location only for the whole planet to essentially split in half (CADIA STANDS/THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD) is just relaxing. Also FUCK Erebus.

      Well now I want the complete and unabridged history of whatever that Halo thing is…

      source
      • Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        If I remember correctly, the question was “why don’t the covenant want the halos in this one (Reach)” or “why aren’t they in this one” or something like that when we had just started playing.

        So I went back and explained the history of the rings from 120,000iah years ago during the height of the Forerunners power, as well as where the flood came from, why the planet has only just been discovered by the covenant, and how the game (Reach) differs from the books and spoken lore established in games 1-3.

        Funny thing is, I’m slightly wrong. He did technically ask me one other question, but it was an open question to the group “why do the Spartans look different except Jorge?” and I immediately went “are you SURE you want a full explanation?” to which others jumped jn and said “NO!” which was a little disappointing but not everyone enjoys lore dumps.

        For a full explanation, read the forerunner series of books, the novelizarion of combat evolved, the fall of reach, the in-between book that tells us how anyone escaped to halo 2, and the Ghosts of Onyx. That last one isn’t super necessary, but it gives you a neat look at one of the Shield Worlds from the forerunner books.

        I think lemmy has a character limit so I can’t get into a 3 hour typefest lmao

    I had a half hour meeting with a coworker today. 2 minutes in, he mentioned he was thinking about building a new PC. Almost an hour later we decided we needed to start talking about the meeting topic.

  • scbasteve7@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This is the craziest rhetoric I’ve ever heard. People love hearing interests from a fanatics perspective. If you have an almost unhealthy interest in something, test the waters. See how much the recipient is interested in hearing you talk about this, and if they are, go all out. I’ve learned so many interesting and niche things I never would have by engaging with people with hyper fixated interests.

    source
    • SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      This is the real response.

      Whenever I meet someone who’s hyperfixated on something as much as I am hyperfixated on my things, I actually get quite excited to listen to what they have to say because I can see how interesting they find it.

      I just spent my afternoon doing volume calculations… each unit is 3 oz, I need 300 units, 900 oz, but I can only buy in 1 gallon which is 128 oz, etc. For this one, each unit is 10g and 600 of those, I can buy in 1.25 lb or 2.6 lb let’s convert that and see what the cost per gram is and go with the cheaper, okay I can buy in 1180g how much do I need again?
