I don't know I don't know what I don't know
THat's embarrasing
Hahaha
Oh that's really embarrasing I wouldn't let it stay like that for ling long
Well why don't you educate me
Just google it
Oh ok
Then when people ask you you'll know
That's a really good point
I don't know when to use its and it's
And then if they don't know, I can help them know If it belongs to it, it
I think its is conjugation and it's is possesive
If it belongs to it, it's its Does that help The dog is playing with its toy. It's having fun
Oh I got it backwards.  I should really be paying attention apostrophe is conjugative Ok. I'm kind of paying attention IT's ok
It's = it is
Yup
cause it's a contraction see Well I never got to finish hearing about your tree tower thing
Contractive it the made up word I meant to use not congigative Well
I was very intrigued
Where were we
3 telephone poles, slightly tilted towards each other
THe big problem is I don't know where to get telephone poles
Yeah I was gonna ask about that
But I know you can BEcause I've seen other people do it when they build ziplines or something
Could you just use 3 tall trees that are next to each other
No, because they need to be beams and leaning in on eachother Imagine like a firewatch tower
You just have to ask the telephone man
HAhaha
you call him on the telephone
Anyways HAhaha Or the cellphone ANd support my tower with cells
For some reason the extra capital A in HAha is very validating It makes me think I'm extra funny
I always add an extra capital for some reason
Even though I know it's a typo
It's frusterating
Yeah you do Frustrating
Like GEorge WAshington
Do you want me to keep correcting your spelling Haha
Sure if you want I've started using ms Word and it's very better than Google docs
Ok but what's at the TOP of the telephone poles
I can add typo corrections for things I consistently mistype
Really? I am a big fan of google dogs. I haven't used word in ages
There's a cylindrical tower Kind of like a water tower
Like since 7th grade Okay,
But It's bug enought to have a little room up there I hadn't either But it has a lot more features I just never had it readily accesible Anways Tower Bigish
Yeah but being in the cloud is a really BIG feature that I care about a lot more than anything else
NOt super big
Okay yes
Yeah I agree I still use google docs more for that reason
What's in the towe
I typed my essay in google docs todaty It turned out really well I think
Nice I would like to see it, I'm curious how you did it
ANyways Yeah I'd love to hear what you think
But not right now obviously
HAha I could type it word for word in this chat Anyways
I bet the researchers would love that, they would think you are so silly
The tower also has a little balcony running around it Haha Silly me
Is the tower made of wood
What a silly competitor they'd say
Or what
Yeah all wood
Have you ever read the seven silly eaters
unless that's not strong enough If that's that case THen I'd insert metal supports inside the polse poles So It looks like wood but IT's stronger Anyways
Nice
The tower has a little balcony and a closable skylight
How do you get up there?
And enough room for like an air matress or something There's a rope ladder that comes down directly under the center Up to a trap door
Between the 3 poles. Ok, I like it
And it has hooks on the bottom and hooks into little loops on the ground so it doesnt sway as you climb The tower also has solar
It would still sway but not as much
Enought to bring a phone or laptop up and work Yeah
That's nice
And there would be a fold out table for working like a desk Or eating there
So you keep your air mattress up there, a lil table, some blankets and pillows, some books?
IT's designed for reading or study or meditation or if you want to sleep up there because normal beds are boring Dangit the other dude got back on
You could sleep with the skylight open and look at the stars
Yeah THat would benice but if it rains you close it OR don't go there because lightning THat wouldn't be terribly safe
Oh I was thinking it's glass, and there's just a cover that goes over the glass to close it
Do you want to do some would you rathers?
That makes more sense though Yeah sure
Yeah I like that way THat's cool
I really like that tower though
As long as you can keepo the glass clean
That's very very cozy sounding
Yeah I thkn so DO you have any good would yourathers
I feel like there might be zoning laws against that
Or I could tell you what my teacher is saying And you could learn linear Algebra And I would learn nothing because I can't focous THis is really tense I wish I knew if it were 1 or 2
Haha Yeah :/
My hands are literally fatigued
Hey researchers it would be nice to have a specific reset time
Like they're achy
You need to practice typing more
Haha I think they leave it general on purpose Yeah maybe
We had to do typing practice every day for homeschool
I think a lot of it is that I'm low on sleep AND I typed a bunch yesterday THat's good
Would you rather be famous when you're alive, and unknown when you die, or unknown when you're alive and famous when you die
I did too but I lost a lot of what I gained
That was phrased poorly
THe latter
Would you rather be famous but then be forgotten a few years after you're dead Why?
Because that usually means you did something better OR more lasting I don't care for the fame THat sounds inconvinient But fame is usually correlated to having done somthing of significance orthat helps people So if I get famous after I die, I get the best of both worlds, a nice, peaceful life
Yeah honestly I think I would prefer that to being famous when I'm alive AND being dead. Let me just have a legacy, I don't need it right now Yeah exaclty
And having done something helful
If someone came back in time from the future and said "hey you're famous in 10 years from now" And tha's all they said
What would you want to be famous for?
What would you guess that you become famous for
Holy moly it's close 8000 I'm going faster
Haha okay
I want to hear what you want to be famous for? Music probably
Yeah but I just asked you the same thing
But composition or performance orwhat Ok Some discovery. Like a new simpler way to find primes or something The kind of thing that's really simple after you discover it but makes a huge impace impact
That would be cool Yeah Probably music for me. Composition. Write some sweet film scores or something
I'd even settle for Something like that just relative to my field Not even that necessarily helps the whoel world THat would be cool But not liek john williams
Do you ever listen to film scores?
Because you don't like him for some reason
Yeah, not like him
Yeah a lot actually
He's fine Who's your favorite? or favorite movie scores
My dad commented at one point that he thingks inthe future, when people look back on this period
Yeah?
Most of the great music will come out of film scores Like the music that's remembered Becasue no on remembers Dynamite
Hahaha
Or Firework
That's true
I like Hanz Zimmer a lot But not too much at once
The Beatles say that pop music is the classical music of now
Hooho I passed him
I think Paul said that I was about to say!
Oh Yeah I don't htink so wuite
By a lot! How did that happen all at once? You don't what
I dk Let's keep going
Yeah
I don't think pop is the classical of now
I don't know, I think it sort of is. What music do we remember from the 60s, 70s? Not film scores
I Rock maybe a little closer but still, the great rock songs are only remembered by rock enthusiasts Yeah but that's relatively close in time
Elvis, Freddie mercury,
I'm talking like 200 years from now They will be remembered too But the stuff that's remembered in the same way as classical would be film scores more I think Of course, digital music changes everything
I dunno, I think people will remember pop music a lot more
Like, those rock bands can be kept alive
Yeah
People still listen to them to listen to them
I think the period of famous classical music is over. I think we'll still be listening to the same symphonies and concertos for years to come
Whereas part of the reason we remember classical like we do is because there's sort of a gap between it being litened to and being looked back on Probably actually
And I think people will just keep listening to what's already there, with a little bit of new stuff mixed in, but not a lot
I've heard adults comment on that it's werid how we listen to mucic Yeah
In terms of classical listening stuff What do you mean it's weird?
THey say that back in their day, they listened to albums or found aritsts they like on the radio They couldn't pick and choose to the same degree we can I've heard that out music libraries are a lot more varied And eclectic
That's true. If you just like one song off an album you can just take that one Yeah definitely
We can better model our personal tastes But also we don't descover new stuff the same way
So when you ask someone "what kind of music do you like" that's why everyone just says "oh, a little bit of everything"
Like my dad was a music enthusiast Haha yea
How did he find new music?
Except I say, beatles, tally hall, vulfpeck, xtc Because that prety much sums it up for me I think
Haha
Well he'd have to buy the vinal album at a music store
Vinyl
And some international releases were rare and limmited A record
I know I'm just correcting your spelling
Oh you're correcting my spelling
Haha
I should have known better I've been spelling that word a lot since I'm tring to get the PRISM logo printed on Vinyl Anyways
I have at least 20 different artists on my favorites playlist. Probably a lot more
YEah He'd discover ne songs by discovering either entire new lbums Or buying a rare release version of an album Haha yeah
That sounds expensive It's a lot cheaper to enjoy music now
I think a lot more peple got "into bands" back then Mybe but I think people traded around records too
Well people still do that
And he'd listen to his brother's and stuff A lot of his music tastes were influenced by his brother THe audiophile one
Oh yeah! He's the 2nd youngest in his family
He introduced him to split enz YEah and steven is the oldest
5 kids?
Yup all boys
I'm so good at this
And my dad in turn introduced me to split enz And a lot of other bands
I had 6 months in a leaky boat in my head last week
Oh that's a good one I haven't listened to them in a while Wow I am not paying attention at all And he's talking about a lot of new stuff IT's ok
Do you have a test coming up? You gonna be alright ?
And even bands I've discovered on my own he listened to, which shows how musical tastes can be shaped similarly but seerate
That's very true
Hha yeah this isn't on the midterm IT's ok I have time to elarn it
Like when Juliet found that Ben Folds song and sent it to me
Yeah OR sometimes my dad will recomend a band to me ANd I'll listen to some of their top songs
I found out when I went through a Billy Joel phase that my mom really liked Billy Joel too
And they won't be that cool But than later I'll discover them on my onw and get really intpo them Like talking HEads
Haha
Or the same thing happened on the Tally Hall subreddit
What do you mean ?
I asked for other similar band recomendations from tally hall fans to see what they liked And a lot of them I'd heard But A few I hadn't and I tried to listen ot them BUt didn't get into them Like caske cake BUt then LAter I discovered them on the radio or somehting And I was like "Hey that's cool! " And they became cool
Haha
The end I think that's happened with other bands too I can't think of what BEn folds maybe
If you made music, who do you think you would sound most like
YEah ben folds was one of them Vulfpeck and tally hall and xtc All of those Vulfpeck was a big one
Just an awesome hybrid
Someone on tally hall recomended it the subreddit I mean
On the subreddit? Ok yeah
And I tried it and I felt severely let down
Haha
And now they're hands dwon in my top 3 IT's always really fun to run into tally hall fans Like JAcob Oldroyd Or Ben Jacobs I want them to tour so badly More than any other band  I think
They're not still together are they? You're not supposed to say people's last names I think
NO Net techincally I didn't
THAT"S TERRIBLE
I was talking about a different ben I just said jacobs I didn't even realize we both knew a ben jacobs Haha that's funny
Haha weird
wait what's terrible? THat they're not together?
I was making fun of you cause you said NO in all caps ye
Oh THat was a TYPo
Hahahahaha
THat last one was intentional
It's your turn to ask a would you rather question
MY forarms feel like I went rock climbing Ok
I wanna go rock climbing After your forearms recover
Would you rather have a terrible academic record yet make a big contributuio to the world THe academic world Or have a perfect academic record
Ok, like research?
And Make minor contibutions Like little research that a few people in your specific field read Yeah OR a discovery or osmething
Big contribution. That's easy. You think just cause I was valedictorian that's more important to me?
Haha No I thought it was a good question
It was a good question
I thought you'd pick that though THat's what I'd pick
It would be way cool to do researc
We should take huesses at eachothers answers
Okay
Ok you ask
Hmm ok
I came upo with that on my own btw No google
Would you rather be able to sing really really well, or speak really really well
Speak
That's what I thought
Although singing is very admirable, I have nothing against it
Honestly I'm not sure what I'd say
I just feel like for me, speaking would be a better tool
That's a really hard question for me
Yeah I bet I'm not sure either
Well I think it's easier for you
You can sing and I can speak and we can be a dynamic duo
Since you're not trying to write songs
Yeah
You can't speak for me though. I have things to say that you can't say I can sing for you, if you write songs, but it doesn't go the other way around
If I sang really well my ward would just have some neat musical numbers That's true ish
Haha
Yeah that's true
They might even have you go on tour
Did I tell you the story of how ben folds started singing? Hahaha
It's very much true not just true ish You did not
Ward world tour
Hahaha
I could bring the ward choir as backup singers
Great How did ben folds start singing
He was a writer and producer for other artists And he woudl write stuff And they'd add all these interpretations and flourishes So he would record demos for them to show how he internded it to soumd But they still messed it up
And he got sick of it?
So finally he decided, "hey I can hit these notes, that's why I'm recording the demos" So He just tried singing them himself WHich makes a lot of sense becaue His singig sounds very raw
That's awesome
And real In my opinion IN a good way
I heard kind of the opposite story from a guy at the commercial music expo
But that's how it started REally? WHat was it? He sang and didn't like what people wrote for him?
Yeah it does. I like people with voices that don't sound super polished
SAAAME Even if it's intentional Like regina spektor, She's very talented
No, he was writing his own stuff and recording it, and he figured out he didn't really like performing as much as he did producing, editing, etc.
And could make herself sound like a cookiecutter pop singer Oh that makes sense
So he became a producer instead and now he's producing other people's stuff, and I think still does some of his own stuff, but not really as much
Anyways, she really varies how she sings
Yeah, her voice is so cool
THat's cool. WHat would you personally rather do?
She is one of the few female singers whose voice I actually like
Yeah me too
Have I told you that before? I really just do not like female singers that much. There's very few
I don't have a ton of female singers on my music lists
Sara Barellies is good
I don't have anything against them I just haven't found many that fit the music style I like Pomplamoose is good
Same.
THat's one of the only other groups who has a lead female singer that I listen to a lot They're really good They do a lot of covers
Which is sad because I want to WRITE and SING the kind of music style that I like, but I don't really have many good examples to follow that have a voice similar to mine
Mostly covers but it's creative THat's fun though!
What's fun?
You get to create your own voice and niche It's creative and exciting I think
Yeah true
It's more work but its fun
Hopefully You asked me a question and I don't remember what it was Are you out of class? I kind of have to go
Was it a would you rather? Yeah just finished
Oh! Did you see the email that just came?
IT's not a huge lead bit hopefully it's untransversible in 10 minutes No What was it?

Ooooooooh
The next round starts at 2
Can he get 100,000 in 10 min PRobably not
I don't know
Did that email really come? I doubt it Unless he's botting 100,000 takes my at least 30 min ususally IF you're slowly chatting, an hour
It also says all active chats will be ended at 1 pm
