So they’re recycling…good on them…but there I was thinking they may be creating some Apple-PC steam punk mutant for some specialist market…

The hidden tracks were the best!

Just leave the bottle on the counter

Exactly! Which was my original point that this ‘power thing’ is about using/tied to abusive/instluting behaviour rather than something separate.

No, the discussion was not about whether different words were of equal or differing offensiveness. My discussion is about what saying ‘it’s a power thing’ actually means and how it relates to abusive behaviour.

I still remember Domesday, it only happened the once before ‘they’ covered it up. I’ll never forget it, so many questions.

So, if you were to replace ‘cocksucker’ with ‘towelhead’, slut, Yid, or Nig*** would that still just be a power thing?

Not that it actually makes a difference. This ‘power thing’ you refer to is controlling abuse for self interest. Introducing a predudice is just a way of trying to justify and/or hide the abuse.

They’re no worse than (possibly better than) people who voted for whichever party because their parents/newspaper taught/told them to, or because that’s who they always vote for and are too lazy, stubborn, peer pressured or insecure to change - i.e. people who claim to be politically literate but don’t actually have a clue what they’re really voting for.

I cannot understate how insulted he’d be to hear that! Not least because he’s infinitely more intelligent than 2000 of those two!

I’m with you ‘brother’, albeit one year behind. Let us tell tales of effective protest and civilian action!

Yep, I have a ‘random shit’ drawer too

I was so hoping that was toasty the toaster! Waffles? How about a bagel?

Today/the last week, I have been mostly listening to Instant Rewards by Tides from Nebula, along side their previous album From Voodoo to Zen.

Probably not, there’s plenty of people who mostly just listen to the radio and don’t own much music. Sounds much the same. If it doesn’t work for you then it doesn’t work for you!

It’s an awesome opening to the album, “oooaaaahhh POWERRRNERRD!”, classic Devin!

So many bands I’d love to see! But that’s somewhat small fry, so to speak, so ancient history, if I could travel to a different location also instantaneously (guess that’dhave to be possible or else it’dbe pretty boring or hard work!). Ancient Egypt, Greece, Central America Mayans… but then, are WE immune from consequences also?! Free from contracting diseases, free from being sacrficed to a god or getting enslaved?! Can we communicate with them?! Dinosaurs would also be awesome, if immunity was guaranteed…chomp!

Or perhaps just see my dad again :)

Why would bringing back photos have consequences? It’s not like it’ll suddenly make them become extinct! I assume the OP means consequences on the past not future of course! :)

That’s me on the left with my sister. The cat was called Thomas. Any guesses as to the ‘pc’ ?

I need the text highlighted please, I’ve no idea what anyone is talking about…

US newspaper headlines.

“Polilitician lies, world ignores, carries on.”

I get the idea is to abbreviate to fit as much in, but it hurts my mind every time! There has to be some retention of language!
