“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

Damn, didn’t realize California was that baja.
According to Wiktionary, the etymology of “shark” beyond Middle English is unknown – and even there, we only see it once in 1442.
Edit: the Online Etymology Dictionary has more.

Long ago, the four shitposts lived together in harmony.


Dude, come on, you have to be a fucking idiot way too credulous to take this at face value or even entertain it. It’s a picture of some guy calmly putting an acoustic guitar into the overhead compartment with everyone around him behaving normally, and the caption, with literally no evidence, warps it into how he started specifically “playing Maroon 5” and how he got shamed into stopping by some guy yelling at him to shut the fuck up. (You’d think they’d know the song he was playing for 30 seconds if they know it’s Maroon 5, by the way.) It’s the most generic “DAE Maroon 5 is obnoxious? XD” fake story you could make.


That happened.


So you’ve moved the goalposts from “that’s not just participation, it’s [things that participation entails]” to “well this doesn’t apply unless you need it to exist”*. GN needs a major platform like YouTube to actually reach an audience.
* By the way, the comic is illustrating a man with a car that’s seemingly from the 1920s or 30s, so there goes that tenuous argument.


contributing to, and directly benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about.
You do understand what “participation” means, right? You understand that the original comic is specifically talking about contributing to and benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about, right?
I agree with your other point that GN should offer more alternatives to watch their videos, but this one is creating a distinction without a difference.

Bro, you’re getting expelled if the Dean finds out about this.


Personally, I think it’s for the better they remain separate projects for logistical reasons. I also understand why OHM went with CC0 for their license, and it was their (I think correct) choice to make it incompatible with the OSM one.
I know that’s vague, but mainly, I think OHM is better off not having to worry about OSM shenanigans, while OSM is better off being able not to have to worry about historic preservation.


Ah, you’re right. Brainfart. I forgot about that. I guess I can’t think of a way to contract it to a point then.


The hole through the center makes a hole around it inside the mug.
Yeah, the hole through the center is one hole (the “donut hole”). The handle is the other (the “handle hole”).
Topologically, the lip of the mug is a boundary, not a hole. This object is of genus 2 given it’s a 2-manifold.
Edit: The explanation below is the product of a brainfart.
But we can show this assuming the lip isn’t an abrupt boundary and that instead that the outer wall of the inner loop is part of the same side as the outside of the mug (i.e. that you can continuously walk on the surface from the outside past the lip without crossing an abrupt boundary, which more closely matches the physical reality of this mug).~
Watch this: imagine a loop around the hole of a donut. Now try to contract that loop down. Without cutting it, you can’t.
Now take a loop around the lip of this coffee mug. You can contract it to a point by bringing it all over the lip of the mug, then inside, along the outer walls, and then finally down to the bottom of the mug. It all meets up there. No hole. There’s the donut hole and the handle hole, but the colloquial “hole” is either a boundary if the lip is flat or not even a boundary if it continuously curves inward.


Dude, they would’ve had to write me out of the scene. As soon as Jim Rash drops “and all the black man gets is a plate of white lies”, I’m fucking gone.
Nasty. I thought this was satire at first and had to read it back.
