Finding out it’s really stupid can be worse. “Oh, this beautiful song is about how the chick in the bikini has amazing tits? Great.”
Despite the reputation of the song, the lyrics are a little bit cryptic.
I honestly do not know what the lyrics mean in English and I’m honestly fine with that. In fact, if I find out, I might not like it as much. That’s happened to me before.
I’m going to need to see a whitepaper on this.
So you’re saying my human skull farm is helping to destroy the planet?!
What about mead?
That part is too bad, but I still love the interpretation. I think she only did this one album with them before going out on her own.
To make up for it, here’s Blossom Dearie singing Someone to Watch Over Me, one of my favorite songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oruxeiA06_4
Not to be confused with the skullcap:
And yet not one of my enemies has volunteered to give me their skull.
Apparently Putin wants both.
So you think literally the only way to show you don’t tolerate Nazis is to punch them? No other possible route than getting in a fistfight?
You’re not very imaginative in that case.
Furthermore, considering I have never been in a fight, as I said, do you think I would be successful if I got into a fight with a Nazi?
It has nothing to do with tolerance.
I’ve never punched anyone and I don’t plan to start.
They probably should have gone with the last sentence instead of the first.
Considering what happens when things get interesting and Rod Serling is around, I’d say they should consider themselves lucky.
If I know my bad Japanese movies correctly, the radiation is going to mutate that robot until it is 80 feet tall and only Gamera will be able to stop it.
Ergonomic chairs are also a solution to an often self-inflicted problem. Mainly doing all kinds of things to your body when you’re young that you don’t realize you’ll regret when you’re older.
Are ergonomic chairs a bad thing?
It seemed like the person I was talking to didn’t. The implication was that tape was viable as long-term storage. It isn’t. I’ve seen tapes rot after a year. DATs were especially prone to that, but even things like 2" multitrack audio tape can go bad that quickly.
As a former audio engineer in the days where we still used it- tape can rot.
But we do have originals of many other texts. Like vast, vast amounts of cuneiform texts because they were usually pressed into a clay tablet and then baked.
All but four Mayan paper codices were burned, but the Mayans loved carving their stories into rocks and making those rocks part of their cities’ architecture, so we still have a lot of their textual information. Same with the Egyptians- they wrote a lot on papyrus, and most of that is lost, but they also carved and painted all over tombs.
The secret is not to keep copying the texts. That introduces errors and those errors can compound. The secret is to preserve the texts in a medium which will only degrade over exceptionally long periods of time (compared to a human life, anyway).
If you had a device which could carve stored data into stone and make it retrievable again, you could potentially preserve that data for thousands of years.
I guess it depends on the song. Like sometimes you are cool with it and sometimes that song that brought tears to your eyes is suddenly a lot less poignant to you.
