[13:47] <wolfger> cmaloney: harassment is harassment. Why should "sexual" make it worse?
[13:48] <wolfger> ...or lack of sexual nature make it better, to flip it around
[13:48] <jrwren> same reason sexual assault is worse than std assault.
[13:48] <jrwren> as a society we have deemed it so.
[13:49] <cmaloney> wolfger: "The two brothers harassed each other in the back seat of the car"
[13:49] <cmaloney> Sounds lurid in certain contexts
[13:50] <cmaloney> but it's a perfect word for the hijinx that children get up to
[14:01] <_stink__> i thikn it's as much to do with the fact that sometimes people are not comfortable uttering the word 'sexual', so when they mean 'sexual harassment', they say 'harassment'.  and then it's confusing for anyone who hears the word 'harassment' alone.
[14:04] <Scary_Guy> could just say "bullying"
[14:05] <Scary_Guy> of course a lot of times people cross the line without even realising it too
[14:06] <Scary_Guy> not that it makes it better
[14:17] <cmaloney> Bullying is also one of those charged words
[14:19] <Scary_Guy> well what would you describe it as then?
[14:20] <cmaloney> I'm saying those words are perfectly good words, but they're also charged words
[14:20] <cmaloney> which got to the original point
[14:21] <Scary_Guy> I missed that part
[14:21] <Scary_Guy> but anything can be a charged word in the right context
[14:25] <jrwren> the OP was that some words carry an implied context.
[14:25] <Scary_Guy> After a while yes, for sure
[14:26] <Scary_Guy> For example, in the funeral industry it used to be casket was the PC term, now it's just called the container or even vessel
[14:31] <jrwren> including the holder of ashes
[14:32] <Scary_Guy> new one to me
[14:33] <jrwren> no no, i mean those are called vessels too
[14:34] <Scary_Guy> oh, yeah
[14:34] <Scary_Guy> I figure it's multipurpose
[14:36] <Scary_Guy> also you could have just said urn and I'd have been way less confused
[14:37] <Scary_Guy> Anyway I like the Penn & Teller Bullshit episode where they renamed it Poppycock.  The word doesn't matter, just the context it's used in
[14:38] <cmaloney> <3 P&T BS
[14:38] <Scary_Guy> I think Rick & Morty proved that a few times just by making up new weird words
[14:42] <jrwren> speaking of... when are we meeting up at Blips and Chits?
[14:42] <Scary_Guy> Is that a reference?  I still haven't even finished season 1
[14:43] <Scary_Guy> I need to get on that soon
[14:51] <Scary_Guy> why can't I git clone profanity" ?
[14:51] <Scary_Guy> says it does't exist
[14:53] <notlikethesoup> Scary_Guy: yeah you do
[14:53] <notlikethesoup> season 2 was super good
[14:56] <jrwren> and season 3 starts in a week
[14:56] <notlikethesoup> [citation needed]
[14:57] <Scary_Guy> well they did release an episode of it April 1st I think
[14:57] <Scary_Guy> but yeah, that's pretty much why I need to catch up
[15:10] <cmaloney> Yay, the contractors next door are listening to WRIF
[15:11] <cmaloney> last song: Linkin Park
[15:11] <jrwren> ugh. WRIF is sooo bad. They have like 10 songs on rotation
[15:11] <cmaloney> apparently they haven't updated their playlist since 2000
[15:12] <Scary_Guy> it's more than 10... I think
[15:12] <Scary_Guy> I don't know, I haven't really listened in a long time
[15:13] <Scary_Guy> mostly when driving if I forget a USB drive, and even then I'm station hopping
[15:15] <cmaloney> I think they have a repertoire of 100 songs
[15:15] <cmaloney> heavily eighted by Ozzy, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin
[15:15] <cmaloney> s/eighted/weighted/
[15:16] <cmaloney> Oh, Black Sabbath too
[15:16] <Scary_Guy> well you already said Ozzy, for the most part it's covered
[15:16] <cmaloney> Didn't want to upset brousch ;)
[15:16] <Scary_Guy> Dio fan?
[15:17] <cmaloney> Nah, Black Sabbath fan
[15:17] <cmaloney> I'm sure it's the equivalent of a Yes fan saying "That Jon Anderson group"
[15:17] <cmaloney> or rather saying that to a Yes fan
[15:17] <brousch> I really don't like Dio
[15:18] <brousch> I generally prefer growlers, and his singing just hurts my ears
[15:18] <cmaloney> Yeah, he's an acquired taste
[15:19] <cmaloney> What's this? I'm not familiar with this song on WRIF
[15:19] <cmaloney> Sounds 1980s hair metal
[15:19] <Scary_Guy> anyway I'm going to go lay down and try to remmeber my jabber password, bbl
[15:19] <cmaloney> have fun
[15:22] <brousch> Does jabber still exist?
[15:22] <cmaloney> Yep
[15:22] <brousch> I figured it died when Gtalk stopped supporting it
[15:23] <jrwren> ddg also stopped theirs :(
[15:24] <cmaloney> SLASH FT MYLES KENNEDY was the "hair metal" song that I heard.
