"It's on fire." That seems as though it's probably adequate information ... :LOL:

If not ignore, maybe disregard, or at least refuse to engage with.

Fair, I was thinking of the difference between a kind of enthusiastic cluelessness kinda common among nerds and something more malicious, but that might not be a distinction that matters as much when one is interacting with either.

There are probably some of those, yes. Often, people want to talk about what they want to talk about and will take any conversational opening to do so; this can, but needn't, be bad-faith thread-twisting.

We don't talk about how much of the good stuff about Star Wars came about despite George Lucas.

Mostly that most people don't understand the former term and that different people have different media experiences.

The sense I have is that there are still some smaller venues, but I live in the East Coast Megalopolis, so my sense of things might be skewed (and I haven't been following the music biz much for a while).

Sign me up!

Part of me really wants that to say "acts of war or nuclear god."

It'll probably take some time for the Powers That Be to figure out that AI is not the tool to address it.

DuckDuckGo allows you to turn all AI off--at least, it seems to, I haven't checked its work. Obviously, it'd just be turned off in the search results themselves, it wouldn't do anything about whatever pages you landed on.

It's a kinda tossed off line in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a (IIRC) Classical radio station programmer gets cornered by a logician and a semantics professor who team up to prove that the phrase "too much Mozart" makes no logical sense. Or something similar. I often pair it with...

Fair, but in comparison to the hard vacuum, the environment on Earth is much more damaging to many thing.

I suppose it was a deep cut, but I was referencing Douglas Adams. Though I can see getting to either or both of those.

"Too many crime novels" makes as much sense as "too much Mozart."
