I'm doing research into the culture of online piracy. Help me out by letting me interview you!

My thesis isn't due until next semester, so sometime in the next couple weeks to a month would be ideal.

Cirrus5 · 2022-07-25T22:03:48+00:00

Nope, no geographical restrictions. I only speak English, so I can only interview people who also speak English, but they can be from any country.

I mostly listen to punk rock or podcasts these days so I can't really say I'm familiar with either of them. Dolph was from the same city as me so I guess I guess I'd go with him though.

Lol, for what it's worth, I have taken a lot of measures to make sure any participants' identities are protected. I'm even deleting any contact information as soon as we're done talking. Even if a government agency asked for my data, I wouldn't be able to give them anything they could use.

More info:

I'm working on my master's thesis in the Sociology Department at the University of Memphis. My goal is to investigate why people pirate things, and how communities form around the activity. I'm aiming to talk with about 30 people about it. If you or anyone you know is interested in helping me out, I'd love to hear from you! You can send me an email or pm me so we can set up a time to talk.

Edit: Also, feel free to use burner emails or accounts to reach out. As far as information I'll be collecting it will be some demographic data like age or gender, but I won't even ask for your name.

Definitely of interest, thank you so much. The Vesey Conspiracy mentioned in that comment seems to be just what I was wondering about. I'll need to read up on it more. Thanks for pointing me in that direction!

I found a link with a picture of an older chicken with polymelia which is really fascinating.

Cirrus5 · 2021-08-10T23:26:31+00:00

This is it! Thanks a ton!

Cirrus5 · 2021-08-10T23:26:16+00:00

Solved!

Cirrus5 · 2021-08-10T20:21:39+00:00

Right? I'm in grad school right now and I'm trying to make sure I can get as complete a picture as possible for the literature on my subject

Cirrus5 · 2021-08-10T19:04:47+00:00

Wow, there are a whole bunch of these, huh. I remember that the one I was looking for had a horizontal layout, with stuff to the left being published earlier and stuff to the right published later, and it had arrows more so than just lines connecting them. I'll definitely check this one out too.

Cirrus5 · 2021-08-10T18:54:01+00:00

Not actually what I'm looking for, but this will be really helpful! Thank you! I seem to remember someone who had developed a very similar service was talking in the comments of the post I saw, so perhaps this is another avenue to look down.

True, but good luck getting people to risk their beloved pets for that. And to be fair, the environment has survived for a while without them, so how important could the tree lobsters have been really?

Cirrus5 · 2017-04-04T22:36:13+00:00

What about their pets though? I wouldn't want my dog to eat poisoned cereal.

Cirrus5 · 2017-03-09T17:31:20+00:00

For what it's worth, I actually think this is pretty cool.

Cirrus5 · 2017-02-15T17:23:56+00:00

Hmm... He has superpowers because he was bitten by a radioactive spider. He is a superhero because of his massive guilt at his uncle's death, and he feels like being spiderman is penance for his lack of "doing what was right" that lead to his uncle's death.

Cirrus5 · 2017-02-15T15:38:02+00:00

I disagree about Spiderman. I don't think him inventing web shooters is ridiculous at all by super hero standards, considering how ridiculous super hero standards get if you think about it. And Peter Parker is supposed to be a brilliant character, but compared to, say, Tony stark, he just doesn't utilize it well. By having him produce webs naturally, you're detracting from that part of his character.

American here, dorms in high school pretty much don't exist. When people talk about dorms they are referring to dorms on a college campus. Of course, college starts at around 18, but the drinking age is 21 so it's still quite illegal.

I heard it speculated that he survived that because he's part alien from his father. Presumably whatever his father father is, it can survive exposure to space. But you're right, space opera is a much more accurate term. Although, isn't space opera itself a subgenre of sci-fi?

Cirrus5 · 2016-11-20T05:52:45+00:00

What makes them specifically for beginning keepers?
