First of all, thanks to you folk for allowing me to walk in and have a look around.

Yes - it seems such a simple ask. Play by the rules; or don’t play at all.

A few people I work with occasionally had real problems in this field. I discovered that calling a Portuguese Spanish, Bangladeshis Indian and Poles German soon focused their minds on accuracy of language. I’m an (adopted) Welsh person and have spent about two percent of my entire life explaining that I’m not English. I suppose it’s a parable of sorts…

If that is true (which somehow I don’t doubt) I think those two people might need to be Three Billy Goats Gruffed out of here - but it’s not my space to make that call.

Failing that? Perhaps an intervention might help.

I’ve enjoyed my time talking with you and getting to understand how you see the world and, although I don’t agree with you, I’m glad to have had this exchange of opinions and will now reflect upon what I’ve learned.

Disclaimer: I’m so far away from Blahaj’s demographic I don’t even know why I’m commenting…

Random internet person called Ada devotes their time, bandwidth, expertise, server etc to help random netizens interact with each other. Sets some rules - their space, their rules. Reasonable.

Don’t like the rules? Either fuck off or… find a workaround? “That person, their, you” should cover most things ( and are suitably neutral to not cause unnecessary offence) if you - a bit like me - sometimes struggle with all these new words and concepts. Failing that - stop visiting is always an option. What more is there to say?

Shareholders need profit. Shareholders will chase the biggest profit. They don’t care what you are saying - they only care that their bank balance is rising… until it’s too late.

I’m sure they were both absolute beauties, Granny and her friend.

Without wanting to sound pretentious but that is the magic of any art. Somebody of the time looks at it and goes “meh” and then someone decades later sees it and goes “yeah, I like that”. Horses for courses; and all that.

I personally think the key thing is being able to distinguish between that which isn’t for you, versus stuff that is objectively poor. And now I do sound pretentious… smh. Sorry.

I’d hoped for more from that film, but thought it was ok. Sorry to hear your experience. If I wasn’t in Gnu/Linux land right now I’d try and make some joke about Windows meeting a window.

Off the top of my head: Wizard of Oz, Gone With The Wind and, especially, Casablanca were, in my opinion, worth the hype… but I understand user experience varies.

When free speech stops me

From saying that which I want

I will not be mute.

That’s the exact comment that partly inspired me to post off topic…

I guess it’s perspective and all that. I can understand not personally liking any particular film, that’s fair enough, but SOME of the reasoning in this thread is fundamentally flawed.

I like these threads when people complain that “old classic movie” is formulaic and trope ridden or unoriginal… seemingly forgetting these films set the tropes, formulas and genres that all subsequent film makers hopped-on. That’s why, in retrospect, it appears clunky.

In another similar thread somebody said the band Queen were boring… yeah, maybe now. But fifty years ago when they first released? Not so much.

Keep talking that shit and you’ll be leaving with a fat lip.

(N.B. This is not a threat nor offer of violence and I’m quite sad I need to point that out, but… internet.)

Free speech; but only in the context of “You are free to agree with my speech”

Why does this clown get so much coverage? There’s even sad fanboys who reference him with their username. Smh.

Hand dryer, you say? Oh…

I use my laptop as a tool - no real idea how it works. If Linux nerds are mechanics then I’m just a taxi driver. Use mint. I do. Zero regrets. Caveman compatible.

Fair point.

Yeah - I’d always thought it would be called a Pom but just before posting I checked Wikipedia and apparently we’re both wrong. I know what you mean, though.

My mate’s little sister was sad and bemused one Christmas when their parents bought her a (single) Pom-pom. Why would you not buy a pair?

Hip-hop is like special fried rice. All types of left over bits and pieces recooked and mixed together to make something new.

Don’t spend much time being ashamed of your former self, instead, be proud of your current self.
