The new topic is up: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/1001426.html
***
Cynthia and I were having a conversation the other day about how little things have changed - as much as we would like to think otherwise. People still gather around their campfires listening to stories. It's just some of those campfires are electronic. There are internet campfires and television/movies campfires... flickering lights and a release of energy serving as a focus to bring people together. (OK, most of our conversation wasn't about *that*, but I'm trying to tie it together... :D)
Where is your mind racing to with this topic?

I'll be interested to see if the visit joggles your memories.

Date: 2017-04-06 12:36 am (UTC)And indeed, I do not know what a morality clause even would look like and I occasionally review these kinds of agreements for adventure and profit. I assumed it would be something along the lines of "LiveJournal reserves the right to delete content that does not align with the moral standards of LiveJournal."

Date: 2017-04-05 06:23 pm (UTC)It is a shoddy translation, I agree. Witness section 10.2 which contains the clause "however, in some circumstances it reserves the right to request User to confirm such an information."
I need to back up my journal as well, but that's only for archival purposes in case the internet explodes one day.

Date: 2017-04-06 12:47 am (UTC)I actually want to go super old school and print a bound copy of my entries. Not sure why, but it seems like a fun thing to have. I've been meaning to get around to that for the last five years or so now, at least.
The whole concept of the English translation not controlling was handled badly, too. I'm sure there's precedent for a contract clause that says "in the event of a discrepancy between this translation and the original, the original controls," but they didn't exactly say that when they said "this translation is non-binding."

Date: 2017-04-05 06:16 pm (UTC)But I consider that a good thing!
Especially with the way work is going (not just the stress, but how many of my waking hours are spent on it right now), the crack sure makes MY life more fun. Or _any_ fun, really, at the moment. :O

Date: 2017-04-05 06:18 pm (UTC)I haven't been to camp in 35 years, not counting the summer where I worked as a counselor. There was no camp fire... it was a damn daycamp.
Would people be angered if I really used the prompt as a prompt this time instead of being exact?
No one wants a journalistic article on camp horrors that aren't Friday the 13th... do they?
Help.

Date: 2017-04-07 05:24 pm (UTC)I meant obscure horror camp films. Although looking through my collection this isn't one of my things I'm good at.
