Why are fake laughs added to sitcoms?
  • It's not added to an existing piece (or play) but written with the kind, length and ibtntensity of laughter. There are videos with the laugh tracks removed where you can see the small breaks of the cast waiting for the laugh track to stop. Not just is there a timing difference with and without the laugh track, no, jokes themselves work differently. Meaning: without a laugh track you might not be able to tell joke from serious because the guide is missing allowing to laugh (e.g. about the misery, clumsiness, idiocy, etc of a character). Sitcoms without laugh tracks expect compassion to do its magic and is probably much more closely tied to cultural context of the work. Nobody has to tell you what's funny with Malcolm in the Middle or The Office, you know, because you once experienced (or observed) similar.

  • oooh, i almost forgot about the sacred list! thanks for the reminder, looks like there's quite a bunch out there!

    this is more a preliminary search and the result will not be used directly - but i'll try and come back with information on choice and the reasoning behind it

  • Web-Shop WYSISWG App

    I'm looking for a (preferrably) self-hostable, FLOSS web-shop application that is easy for end-users to use (WYSIWYG, no need for script languages necessary, etc). Any hints are much appreciated.

    Dating advice for privacy conscious

    Due to my "privacy consciousness" (yes, you could call it digital paranoia, but that sounds as if i were ill and not just conscious about how data trade works in the age of total surveillance) dating apps are no options - the compromise i'm living with is owning, using and carrying a phine with me but without any non-free or known malicious (tracking, data-mining, spying, etc) software.

    Any advice on how to get to know interesting people? How did you get to know your partners or acquantances? Did you just give in and opt for one or another dating platform?
