Overnight Open Thread - Latin Edition
— Maetenloch

Bona vespere omnes. Et semper ubi sub ubi memento.

Forget Mandarin - Latin is the Key to Success^*

Mandarin is great if you just want to talk with Chinese people, but you'll get broader and longer-term benefits from studying Latin:

Hard as it may be to believe, one of the things that gives privately-educated children the edge is their knowledge of Latin. I donÂ’t just mean in the obvious senses Â– their grasp of basic grammar and syntax, their understanding of the ways in which our world is underpinned by the classical world, their ability to read Latin inscriptions. I mean there is actually a substantial body of evidence that children who study Latin outperform their peers when it comes to reading, reading comprehension and vocabulary, as well as higher order thinking such as computation, concepts and problem solving.

Personally I was very lucky to take two years of Latin in high school under a tough but loving, old school teacher. We were drilled on grammar and vocabulary every single day and to this day I can still reel off the full declension of qui, quae, quod if need be. And later when I studied other languages all my Latin studies put me a few steps ahead in learning these.

So why is Latin so useful? Well among Indo-European languages (which are pretty much all languages in Europe) Latin is a very generic language that has most of the features common to the family. So its grammar and vocabulary are going to be fairly similar to any modern Indo-European language giving you a head start in learning it.

Plus it turns out that among all human languages the Indo-European family is fairly typical with grammar and grammatical distinctions common to a lot of other languages. So despite being dead for over a 1000 years a lot of Latin's usefulness comes from its utter genericness as a language.

^*But if you're just looking to pick up chicks, go with Spanish or French.

But of course Latin grammar is nothing to screw around with - you have to be careful with your ablatives, datives, and locatives if you want your insults to be properly insulting.

Jimmy Carter Still Loves Dictators
And dictators still love Jimmy:

Â“We greeted each other as old friends,Â” gushed Carter regarding his meeting with Fidel Castro.
Â“In 2002, we received him warmly,Â” reciprocated Castro. Â“Now, I reiterated to him our respect and esteem.Â”
Â“Jimmy Carter was the best of all U.S. Presidents,Â” gushed Raul Castro while seeing his American guest off personally and jovially.

The Bacon Inhaler
It's filled with the wonderful aroma of bacon along with 95% pure Himalayan oxygen. Plus it's kosher. Maybe Rachel the hippie chick was savvier than she seemed.

Gorby's Birthday Bash
So last week a gala was held in London celebrating Mikhail Gorbachev's 80th birthday and attended by many celebrities including Kevin Spacey, Sharon Stone, and Paul Anka (?!). Okay granted Gorby is the least worst of the Soviet leaders but does he really deserve to be feted like this? And did any of these celebrities ever do anything for Ronald Reagan who really forced communism's collapse? Fuck no.

But Gorby does have some cute granddaughters though.

7 Ways to Dress Up Your Genitals
You've heard of vajazzling, but that's just one of many ways to accessorize your naughty bits.

Got $53,000?
Then this island could be yours. For a night. And you can bring up to 28 friends. If you've got'em.

And if you have a bit more money, then you can get an aircraft carrier, slightly used:

Britain put the mothballed carrier Ark Royal up for sale Monday on a military auction website.
The former flagship of the Royal Navy was decommissioned this month, four years ahead of schedule, as part of defense spending cuts. Bidders have until June 13 to make an offer. No minimum price was set.

No minimum so if a thousand of teh morons put down $100 we could probably get us a carrier.

So How Come The King James Version of the Bible Has Been So Popular?
It's 400 years old this year and still remains the most popular version. It may not the be the most accurate translation and it's difficult for modern readers, but it's probably also the most poetic and melodious version especially read aloud. Interestingly much of the language used in the KJV was already archaic in 1611 (thee and thou were pretty much gone from casual speech). This was a deliberate choice by the translators in order to give it the sound of an ancient document.

Carter: Interesting that a man raised in the South, a commissioned officer of the US Navy, a state governor and former President of these United States could have so dim a grasp of the fundamental difference in ideals between us and Cuba, to say the least. And the Castro brothers, who have sent thousands into prison and death for their politcal dissent, and caused literally millions to leave rather than to live in that smelly tyranny, like him. They really, really like him. Best.

Yep. I saw it on the TV show, but that's usually a rehash of what was on the radio. BTW, Tubby Trumka was in Egypt agitating the union brotherhood to riot. There's film of that.

I can't recall if Beck flashed up pix of Ayers/Dohrn from a mtg in the Middle East in '07 or '08 or just reported on them and had a handy pix to show. He was all over Dohrn's post-Manson Family killings when she said, "Far out, they sat down and had a meal" (with the dead body of pregnant Sharon Tate after forks had been stuck in her stomach). He was trying to show how she's lost none of her bloodlust from her 20's. She's part of the commie cabal that's big on the Gaza Flotilla and can't wait till Israel falls.

All of this M.E. unrest didn't just come about spontaneously. It was planned years ago.

114 I never had any formal Latin education. My father and I think my oldest brother did. Anyhow, I managed to pick up more than the average person I knew and it made me much smarter than them. You can accurately figure out the meaning of scads of words by their context if you also know Latin roots. Same thing with foreign languages. I couldn't understand why kids in my Spanish class couldn't remember the verb to write -- escriber. Scribe, scribble -- are all of you a bunch of 'tards?, I thought.

Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) took to Twitter to express his delight that IndianaÂ’s Butler University will play for a national college basketball championship.

Â“Congrats @butleru @BUCoachStevens @ButlerMBB and @ButlerBlue2! A great moment yet again for Indiana!,Â” Lugar tweeted Saturday night after the BulldogÂ’s beat Virginia Commonwealth University in the semifinal.

The Bulldogs will be underdogs when they play the University of Connecticut in Monday nightÂ’s final.

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) was even more excited in his victory tweet. Â“How about them Dawgs! Butler University is headed back to the NCAA Championship Game! This time they are bringing the banner home to Hinkle!,Â” he tweeted.

There was no word from @GOPLeader, Rep. Eric Cantor's Twitter account, but his press office tweeted pictures of the Majority Leader with other politicians at the game.

"@bobmcdonnell and @GOPLeader Cantor in black and gold cheer on #VCU Rams in Houston" the press office feed tweeted.

Nah. Don't want to piss off all the world's governments. We take delivery along the Southeast coast, and go straight to Cuba and confiscate Castro's personal wealth. After that, it's smooth sailing.

Hell, we might as well just liberate Cuba. I seem to recall the 'Ettes being fond of the idea of having Cuban cabana boys in post-apocalyptic D'OhVille.

207 Editor, Sunday morning is different than weekdays in Bellevue. Since they added the new high rise office towers filled with Microsoft employees it is next to impossible to get onto NE 8th early in the morning so a lot of people divert and take NE 12th, which doesn't work out very well because all the medical buildings funnel off there so it all gets very backed up.

Definitely not Fisherman's Wharf. Union Square is expensive, but if you back off a bit in the right direction, things get a bit more reasonable. Of course it all depends on your budget. Price no object, Mandarin Oriental in the Financial District is awesome. In the midst of things, the Nikko is very nice. When I didn't live here, I stayed in the Rex. Nice location, straightforward walk to Chinatown or Union Square. Another interesting possibility is the Hyatt near the water. Very convenient to the excellent Ferry Market. Ugly outside, nice inside.

322 I think there was a one show that had three Steven King short stories that I really liked.

The one story was about a gray tabby cat named General who killed a kid's toy that came to life as a monster.

Another one was about some prick who got stuck on a skyscraper ledge with pigeons pecking at his ankles and he finally got washed off with a fire hose.

The best story, however, was about a guy who received a box of toy soldiers who came alive and shot the hell out of him. Shooting him in the legs with miniature recoilless rifles and in the face from tiny helicopters. I think they nuked him in the end.

Anybody remember that show? Was it three Steven King stories?

465 TexasJew, actually no, Beagles are highly intelligent. It's in their breed because of what their breed was used for. There is a misconception they are stupid because they are stubborn, but they are in reality very smart. They had to be because during a hunt they are on their own making decisions, not dependent on humans for direction. But, the downside to that is that while they are social dogs (as dogs who had to hunt in a pack often are) they don't need as much human interaction to be happy.

Yeah. Then there's the racial theory of sexuality. The most masculine man is the black man. The most feminine woman is the Asian woman. White peoples in the middle. Black women and Asian men least desirable. Explains the ratios of interracial marriages.

It sounds like I missed an odd ONT last night. Right now, I'm hoping the incoming storms don't knock out my power. It felt like the building was shaking.

My mom went out with her sister today, and she told me these two young guys kept hitting on them. My mom doesn't lie, I believe her. But here's what's confusing. I love my mom to death, but she's in her fifties and overweight. These guys apparently looked 20. Why the heck were they hitting on her? It seems suspicious to me. I'm glad this was during the day...

Italian women are really attractive. Extremely hot women tend to have some Italian in them.

But I also find Asian women very attractive, and black women it turns out, and blondes are always fun. And Indian girls, in pairs. Brunettes. Red heads if they live up to their reputation and I'm feeling a bit crazy. . .

The border Hispanics also tend to be the ones with more Indian blood. I think that's a large part of it. Go down to Mexico City and I don't think it's quite the same - more European mix down there. (But I can't say as I've never been.)

That's news to me. Last time I got banned there was for posting a thumbnail sized pic of one of our dead from Mogadishu getting dragged through the streets along with a comment about Clinton. The guy was clothed and you could hardly tell what it was because the image was so small. Too graphic, Fark said. On the same thread, however, they had a large pic of that Vietnamese guy getting shot through the side of his head. That was okay, though, because it was famous or something and was on a bash Bush thread. I went through that kind of crap several times over there.

Maybe two years of Obama changed Drew's way of thinking. Who knows? All I know is that when I used to go there lefties got away with lots of stuff that resulted in my posts being yanked and bannination threats or temporary banning. That's why I got sick of it and stopped posting there -- several years ago.

I guess it's cute and all, but I'm on my own date here. Would you please let me woo this pretty young thing without hearing you? Thanks.

It worked out alright, though. Just laugh it off. I know conservatives are supposed to believe in the decency of the American people...but really, my life has been better since I discovered how stupid everyone is. Present company excluded, of course.

582 @ Rum:

Hah, I get what you're saying. I'm just being...self-deprecating. I do think we're a mismatch looks wise. But in all honesty, I don't think everything is based on looks and I'm probably kind of arrogant in other areas. My only insecurity is that I worry about girls being shallow and not being able to see past my geeky exterior, obviously she isn't like that because she agreed to go out with me. I think there's a certain amount of "Man, I'm lucky...she's so awesome!" that is healthy in a relationship, though.

When people really feel out of their league, they start getting super jealous and think they are in constant danger of losing the person they care for. That's not healthy. I just have a little bit of that fresh "New relationship glow" going, and I'm kind of hyper and feeling good. I probably haven't felt this good in four years.

Thanks for the advice, Rum. I appreciate it. You don't have to kick me!

That's pretty simple. The people making the list are likely mostly liberals. And likely believe in Global Warming. So any website that refutes their religion is not a science blog and must be a politically conservative blog.

Only if we get to be the union bosses, because everybody else in the union gets screwed sooner or later. Usually sooner.

Way back inna winner of niney-won...

Actually, maybe it was 92-93.

Anyway, the whole Knights Templay mystical shit thing was popular when I was a kid, this was way before the modern resurgence and the pop culture re-imagining of it all. It started on a BBS and then moved to usenet, a group of friends, one was named Caroline (one of the big families was the Carolingian dynasty), so I picked "Merovign" as a handle (because "Meroving" sounds dumb), partly as a joke as the Merovingians were the ones who *lost*.

So, to make a long story short (too late), I've been using it as a nick for that long, everyone knows me by it, and I'm kind of stuck with it.

The only downsides are that no one can spell it and everyone thinks I'm a girl.

618 Yeah, I already have 3,000 freaking emails with my name in the email address. One more can't hurt. I think I'll join. If only my crazeejosh email wasn't...well, gone because of being hacked.

@Merovign: I'm not really ugly either, I'm just not in great shape. I gained about 20 ibs last year due to some issues I had , and it's been a bitch getting it back off. I need to be 200 ibs and I'm good. I think I'm just mad at myself, because I work out constantly...the only reason I gained weight is because I love food. If I could control it, I'd be in great health. So, I'm upset at myself and like to take potshots to keep me motivated.

It works, at least in terms of exercise. The best way to avoid eating, however, is a social life. If you're not home, you won't stuff your face.

I see what you see too, btw, but I just think there are more beautiful girls than hot guys. And I also think women put more stock in things that aren't entirely psychical in determining attractiveness. I know some girls who REALLY care about a guy's voice. Or his swagger/charisma. Or...tons of other things. Women aren't as easy to predict as we are.

623

Only if we get to be the union bosses, because everybody else in the union gets screwed sooner or later. Usually sooner.

On second thought, wouldn't a union attract lefties? This is starting to sound like a bad idea, I could get collectively bargained into a corner with a smelly hippie.

636 I actually dated a girl I met online once, and we went for...three years? It was pretty solid, until it ended terribly. But hey, that's life.

However, we didn't meet on a dating site. We actually posted on a message board dedicated to a musician, and we got to talk a lot on messenger programs and really connected. She ended up moving here and then I moved to Ohio with her for a year. I don't think I could ever do the 'dating site' scene, but the way we met wasn't too dissimilar to how you'd meet a coworker and then develop feelings. Just without the face to face.

I actually met two of my best friends on there, and I'm close to them both...even now, ten years later. One of them's in Afghanistan right now, and I haven't heard from him in a bit. :/ I should message him again. He should be fine, he's non combat. But you never know, right? The other friend lives in Indiana. Good people. I'll never make fun of anyone for making 'net friends'.

Ever since gender roles were blown all to hell by the Great Leap Forward cultural revolution, neither men nor women know how to act around one another anymore (i.e. like adults). I got sick of the games and the bullshit long ago.

646 It's not just dating that sucks now, even making friends nowadays is annoying. Especially if you're not the kind of person that does the club/bar/party scene. And even if you do that scene, you just meet companions who have similar interests. They rarely ever actually give a shit ABOUT you.

And so many people that actually do want to get to know people...are surfing the net like us.

659 I see a lot of girls my age who say they're attracted to "androgynous" guys. Seriously? They think that, but they'll probably cheat on their girly boyfriend with the first ultramasculine ubermale that comes around. They don't know what they want, so they go back and forth between extremes. They date girlish guys and brainless thugs, back and forth. Eventually, they find someone who is masculine and not a buffoonish asswipe.

So yeah, gender roles are all warped nowadays.

704 I hate getting older because of my brother. He's near 40, single, doesn't earn very much money...and barely has a life.I love him to death, but he's a constant reminder to me of what can happen if you let life pass by and don't grab it by the horns.

And when I get older, I sometimes think..."Shit, another year of not being who I want to be yet.". And it's motivational. It's a kick in the ass to get myself on track and moving forward. And when I do make it through, I want to share everything with my mom and brother.

I feel like I've underachieved, you know? That's why I hate birthdays. It's a slap in the face telling me to go out there and succeed.

And then people tend to think you're obsessed with yourself, if you like to rant. I've learned to ask questions and pretend I care about what they say, until I can get back to me. Just kidding! Well, mostly. But it's useful. haha

Yeah - I'm working on the asking questions part of conversation. It's not that I don't care about what other people say, it's just that I tend to say way too much. I'm always worried that I end up sounding crazy.

One of my problems is I make weird connections in my head and start talking about tangential crap. It sounds scatterbrained to others, but makes perfect sense to me. Have to stop that, I think.

And no one ever gets my jokes. Sometimes, I don't even get them and I realize the stupidity inherent there. I'm not a funny person, I suppose.

Someone once said talking to me was like watching an episode of "Connections" - you start with one idea and 20 minutes later you've covered everything in history that led up to that idea.

THIS!

I do that a lot, I used to say I play "Word Association" in my mind. I might talk about eating a sub sandwich, and the sub sandwich would make me think of submarines...and the submarines would make me think of boats...and then fish...

Next thing you know, I'm bringing up how I'd like to see Jaws again, and nobody has any clue where that thought came from.

I also mix words together in my mind, and create new ones. For instance, I mixed gust with burst...and now I always say that a I feel a "Gurst of wind" outside.

Honestly, your mind is just overactive. You probably have a literary or poetic mind, and therefore you draw associations more clearly and quickly than others.

Want an example?

I have a shirt I made for Christian Kane's solo album in the style of the Back to the Future logo.

Why? Because online, people refer to him as "CK," which to me, means Clavin Klein. Which, in turn, makes me think of Back to the Future.

713 People think I'm weird, I think I've learned how to play it off comically and be "Wild, Zany Josh" to them.

I also started ...well, ranting to myself sometimes. There's nothing wrong with a practice conversation! It allows you to get ideas out of your head, and practice presenting yourself. I admit, it's odd. But it works for me.

726 You guys, on the lateral thinking... Read the descriptions of the Meyers-Briggs types in the third column over, the "NT's." NT's are about 6% of the population, IIRC. That's why you seem different at times. Knowing about type theory will help you and anyone--especially doctors--discern the difference between normal personality differences and pathology--which is what some start worrying about.

F/x, I'm an INTP--the absent-minded professor type, 1% of the population. I very clearly do not have Asperger's, but to the untrained and idiots it might appear that way.

There are better sites, but that one has some of the most accurate, succinct descriptions I've seen.

Stay away from junk sites that use type theory for horoscope mumbo-jumbo. They are fairly easy to spot. If you want more information, ask or email rdbrewer4 at gmail.

I used to work somewhere that loved those tests. I would always either come up as INTP or ENTP - apparently I was right on the line.

INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to almost anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves.

I am too. You put an "X" where you're on the line. I'm just on the I side of the E-I scale, kind of XNTP but more INTP.

Johnny Carson was an introvert. You'd never know it from TV, though. The I-E thing has more to do with where you lose/get your energy than whether you can tell a joke. I can go to a gathering, but I lose energy quickly. An extrovert will gain energy in that situation. Conversely, being alone is draining for an extrovert.

743 Btw, this is what I thought fit me:

"ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their debating skills. ENTPs tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. This sometimes confuses, even angers, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport."

and

"Their limitations appear in their relative underdevelopment, diminished endurance, and vulnerability. ENTPs may harness Feeling's good will in areas such as sales, service, drama, humor and art. ENTP loyalty often runs high and can be hooked by those the ENTP counts as friends."

746 Unfortunately both situations are uncomfortable for me, though I have always spent more time alone.

I should have said being alone is quickly draining for an extrovert. Just because I recharge or gain energy from alone time doesn't mean I need or want that permanently. I can handle that more than an extrovert, but it's not a case of the more the merrier. So, yeah, too much of either is a bad thing.

It sounds dorky, but the people are usually very nice. A lot of venues are female heavy, so if you're a guy with a good lead, they like that. Additionally, even if you don't meet someone there, it's a nice first date with a girl that you do meet, and you have the advantage of being in your comfort zone.

Barack Obama announces 2012 re-election bid

Mr Obama's team released a video on his official website and sent an e-mail to supporters announcing his plans.

The president has an online network of millions of Americans and his web campaign was widely seen as a key plank of his election success in 2008.

The announcement was widely expected, and his campaign team are set to file election papers this week.

In an e-mail to supporters, quoted on the Huffington Post website, Mr Obama said the campaign would start small and grow over time, "with people organising block-by-block, talking to neighbours, co-workers, and friends".

"So even though I'm focused on the job you elected me to do, and the race may not reach full speed for a year or more, the work of laying the foundation for our campaign must start today."

Unveiling a new look for Mr Obama's campaign website, his team told supporters: "The idea is to improve upon what's worked for the past four years, scrap what hasn't, and build a campaign that reflects the thoughts and experiences of the supporters who've powered this movement."
