Because perspectives get misaligned and there’s no continuation.

There’s a whole desk with books that just disappears. The poster in the background can’t decide what it wants to say. Nor can it decide on its size. The shelves in front of it can’t decide what they contain or where they are positioned And the wall it’s on can’t decide how it’s angled relative to the room.

The “NO AI” dude is taking a giant step forward with his left foot behind a garbage bin for some reason.

In the third panel the doctor is missing a ring-finger while his thumbs have grown 3-4cm

Just to name a few.

I always try to give people the benefit of doubt. But now he’s said too much for that to apply.

The entirety of Palestine, Gaza, and Israel is complex. Though, it has to be said, part of that is because Israel has done everything in their power to keep it “complex”. When serious progress was being made in the early years of their nation. Their response was to assassinate the mediator. Yes. Really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folke_Bernadotte (Oh I mean… It was totally these extremists, a rebel group, and in no way was Israel involved, they investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing!)

The Israeli genocide in Gaza however. Is not very complex. It’s quite simple. It’s a genocide. And they need to be held accountable. Though I wouldn’t hold my breath.

It’s funny how you try to be sassy by saying “I don’t have infinite time like you do, I’m only a mere mortal”, but the second the script is flipped you go with the “Oh are you trying to intentionally obtuse? How dare you”. You want to dish it out but can’t handle it being thrown back at you.

It’s not my fault you comment on articles you didn’t read. And it’s no wonder you don’t know what you’re talking about it as a result.

I didn’t mean anything bad, it’s just I’ve never seen the opposite of than being typed instead of then. I’m on my phone lots too, all good!

Aside from the fact that the Empire did nothing wrong and brought peace to a galaxy living under the constant threat of the Jedi that casually kidnapped children to indoctrinate, not to mention tried to assassinate a democratically elected chancellor when things didn’t go to their liking.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone regularly write “than” when it’s actually supposed to be “then”. Normally it’s always the other way around.

While i do not doubt that you’d need infinite time to read a single article. I managed just fine in 2 minutes.

It’s pretty clear what I’ve said for those who can read. And most of it seems to be because people like you type shit without even bothering to read what it is you’re commenting on. Just going around spreading misinformation. But just for you. I’ll use small words.

He just wants to sing and that’s it. He did not want to get involved at all in this ‘fight’. I think it’s cowardly. Ed also has (or had) hundreds of people working for the tour. That may very well rely on the tour to bring home money. He has enough money to say fuck it and go home. Same can’t be said for everyone else.

And don’t worry, there’s no ego to wound here.

Trying to waste others time by making them deny or defend against baseless claims is the type of shit Trump does. And the only measured response is to not even dignify it.

The rumor mill that gave me most of what I know about this incident didn’t tell me that piece, so that’s why I’m “on about” not knowing what you know.

And here I assumed you’d read the same article we’re both commenting under where they said as much. My mistake.

It would be interesting to see what would have happened had Macklemore spoke about Africa

No it wouldn’t. We both know nothing would happen.

I think that’s lame. You do not.

Don’t put words in my mouth. It’s not going to get you anywhere.

As far as Macklemore is concerned, this is the best outcome possible. He gets tons of free publicity, and the topic he spoke about gets even more coverage as a result of what happened. And everytime Ed performs without his openers, the papers will talk about why that is.

But then why ban Macklemore unless he suspected Macklemore would’ve gone on a political rant?

He wasn’t banned ahead of going on a “political rant”, he was removed after. So I don’t know what you’re on about there.

Regardless, not using your platform to advocate for people without a platform is a form of complicity.

That is highly debatable. I heard no one go on a “political rant” about the various internal conflicts in Africa. Are they complicit in those because of that? If an artist just wants to do their art. I say fair enough. I strongly disagree that it’s a form of complicity

Yeah, fair enough.

I think you’re vastly underestimating just how many people are required to conduct an entire tour

It’s not just Ed, There are so many other people tied to the tour and they need money. Sound guys, lights, security, electricity, networks/communications, scene builders, fixtures, etc. Probably far more than most of us realise.

If Ed decides to cancel the entire tour over it. I’m sure he would be fine. But maybe not everyone else. I still think it’s cowardly to not even try to stand up for your fellow artist. But I can understand if he feels responsible for everyone that relies on the tour to bring home money to their families.

He’s not taking a “both sides are bad” take. He’s taking a “I don’t want to deal with politics, I just want to perform”.

If it was a clear and cut case of contract breach for the tour, that would be one thing. But it doesn’t sound like that’s what it was about. So Ed is getting dragged for not standing up for his fellow artist.

From what I’ve gathered, Ed pretty much just threw his hands up and said, “I don’t want to get involved, you guys figure it out.” Fair enough if that’s the case. That’s his choice. But we see the result of what people think about those who take the cowards way out.

He doesn’t want to deal with politics. He just wants to perform. And I get that. But it’s still cowardly to not stand up for your fellow artist. And that’s why everyone else is dropping out.

I dunno… I feel like I’ve dealt with enough German machinery and bureaucracy for 3 lifetimes.

Their “obsession” for standards is only for the standard of making everything 10 times more complicated than it needs to be.

And before you ask, of course there’s an easy system for various sizes that all relate to each other.

What did you think? That we hadn’t thought this through?

Yes. They use the english name when talking about the object in english. So what? In Sweden our scientists call Luna for “Månen”. Because that’s the name in our language. But the standard of naming things in latin stems from that every scientist will speak the same language.

If you want to gather studies about dogs. You’ll be very limited if you only know their english name. So instead you’ll use the latin name. Canis Familiaris. And all of a sudden you will find studies from all across the world.

Yes, they have been naming species after people and things. Those that discover a species will often get the naming rights. But they still have a latin name.

Platysaurus attenboroughi.

It’s in latin. And because of that. Every single scientist that are familiar with the concept of how we name species will see that the species Platysaurus Attenbiroughi is in the Platysaurus genus, and saurus means that’s it’s a reptile.

Euptychia attenboroughi.

So we know that this is an animal in the Eutychia genus. Named after Attenborough.

Trigonopterus attenboroughi

By now you should know what genus this animal is in. And that’s why we give them latin names.

If we just called then all “attenboroughi” it would be really fucking confusing about which animal it is we’re actually talking about.

Just because you don’t know that you use any latin. Doesn’t mean the useage have decreased.

Latin isn’t going anywhere. Our entire scientific understanding of life on earth is built on the back of latin. It’s the language all scientists speak.

So when a doctor writes in the journal that you have a fracture in your femur. Every other doctor on the planet earth will know which bone it is he was talking about.

Ah, I was wondering why NASA kept talking about “Trans Lunar Burn” and “Lunar orbit” instead of “Trans moonar burn” and “moonar orbit”. So silly to talk about “circumsolar orbits” when it’s clearly “Circumsunar orbit”.

The only major exception is Earth, where orbits around us are called out in english, more specifically, the initials. LEO, MEO, HEO. The L stands for “Low”, so I’m sure you can figure out what the M and H stands for.

And no, using latin to name things have not been falling out of fashion. Every time we discover a species (which we still do, every single day), their species are immediately named in latin.

And lots of things, are still called by their latin names in English. e.g. (exempli gratia) Virus. Alibi. Malfeasance. Agenda. Incalculable. Modicum. Mundane. Ambiguous. Bacteria. Naive. Atrocity. Cull. Debilitate. Et Cetera.

I could go on but you get the point. Latin is everywhere. You just didn’t know that it’s Latin to begin with.

It’s called “the sun” in English yes. Now, this is going to sounds crazy, but hear me out on this one… There are other languages than English. And I’ve heard rumors, that scientists across the world are all using this weird one called “Latin” when it comes to naming stuff.

Pfff, a real tankie would never admit it was for territorial expansion. Don’t you know Zelensky is the new Hitler? Russia is just saving Europe from Ukraine.

We should be thanking them.

(Totally not sarcasm, I’m super cereal)

That is a very strong statement. What’s your source of them wanting to achieve an ethnic cleansing with forced deportation of Swedish citizens? Taking steps that go beyond Trumps ICE.
