    I don't like it if people judge people by their membership in groups and not as individuals. I don't like it when the left does this, and I don't like it when Prager does it.

    @Renauda said in While I'm down the Potter rabbit hole...: Our son was never interested in the Potter books so I never read any of them. He seemed to go from Diary of a Wimpy Kid to Dickens’ *Oliver Twist * in one move. His mother read Dickens in school and hated it. I read nothing by him although I’ve enjoyed BBC mini series on Dickens’ books. Kid is still reading Dickens. Says he wants to try Tolstoy next. I hope when he got in trouble you gave him the dickens.

    @George-K I'm at the very itty-bitty bottom rung of understanding Japanese everything, but I would say that squares pattern is very un-Japanese. Maybe a fusion of West and East, but not purely Japanese. Anyone who believes I'm wrong, please speak up. I'd like to understand.

    A performative parody of having a conscience.

    @George-K said in Megan plants foot firmly in mouth again: @Copper said in Megan plants foot firmly in mouth again: That sounds racist. Not only that, as a celeb she is a source of wisdom. She is a fount of wisdom! (Or something that rhymes with fount) Slant rhyme. The aʊn or ɒn sound is adjacent to, but not identical to ʌn.

    @Klaus said in Trifonov: Most intense 4'33?: @George-K said in Trifonov: Most intense 4'33?: @Klaus said in Trifonov: Most intense 4'33?: I liked the dramatic pause at 3:30, shortly before the coda. Too much rubato in the coda for my taste. Maybe, but it still takes somebody like Trifonov to pull this off. Imagine what a mess this would be if an amateur like Jon would attempt to play this. That's not fair. He is asked for a perpetual encore after playing that one. Must be spectacular.

    @jon-nyc said in Housing is in Trouble: Sure you'd have been better off six months ago Phibes but you're still better off now than you will be next year. Hopefully you'll pull the chute at 500ft like Horace. To add to that, you’re also better off than pre-pandemic. Values are still elevated from the COVID buying spree. The worst will be next year. I do think it’s not quite as severe as the thread indicates because the millennials and Gen Z are finally starting to move into a home ownership mindset. The interest rates will hurt, but hey, they just got an extra 10-20K in their pockets thanks to Uncle President Joe, and they already have shown they don’t really understand interest rates and will sign contracts that they don’t understand…

    @Jolly said in "Hang on, we need a Starbucks!": I'm not a big fan of chicory. That's an acquired taste, bally-hooed by the denizens of the Crescent City. THANK YOU! The first time we went to New Orleans, on our first morning, we went to Cafe du Monde for our morning coffee. Wow, talk about underwhelming. Surly staff, long line, so-so coffee, and the beignets, though good, were nothing special. Gimme the Ruby Slipper any day for breakfast in New Orleans.

Not even close. Details, please? I assume I can still access the different tracks in the free version, right? I'm losing convenience features more than anything else (and putting up with ads, of course). It’s Aqua… It probably has to do with Apple’s shortage of Aboriginal Throat Singing Techno Remixes… Aboriginal folks don't necessarily go in for the throat singing. But they like a dope house beat about as much as the next guy. Link to video You are only relating aboriginal to Australia? You are an Aboriginalist! What about the North American Aboriginal People? They don't play no didge.
