It’s not insane at all, it’s how things have gone every time since the French Revolution. The liberal centre allies with the left to defeat the right and get into power, then turns on the left to keep power, turning the right into a weapon. Then, when the left is defeated, the now radicalised right eats the centre, and the cycle repeats.
Exactly - it was well after there was a reason to hate them, but well before hating them was cool.
Maybe it’s feathers, maybe it’s Maybelline.
Is it obtuse? The key part is the “you have to choose”. You have to choose. You can’t delegate it to the cashier.
I once wanted to let the next shopper have some coupons, and the cashier had me physically pick it up and hand it over, so the camera can see.
Mr. Tate, funny seeing you here!
Nah, I got rattled quite a number of times.
There’s a fun short video of the BBC’s coverage of the royal funeral that someone dubbed over with the audio of the BBC’s coverage of the Kim funeral.
Yes, but was, IIRC, under KMT during WW2. Tibet wasn’t re-occupied until after 1949. I know ROC, on paper, claim three more dashes. It would be amusing if they claimed one less Tibet.
To the best of my understanding, the big joke of the “one China” policy is precisely the “yes” to that first one.
Though that second one never occurred to me: Xinjiang was more or less held from the Qing onwards, but does the ROC actually even claim Tibet?
They almost make it sound like “class” is some sort of immutable thing you’re born into
It would be if they got any say in it.
Frankly, it’s what I did, too, after coming out of Uni-level C.
My code was goddamn unreadable.
Why would you need a place to put something you don’t have?
…Yes, if you go back and read my fist post, you will find that I, too, refer to tabs as notation, and say: “it’s a customary txt-format notation”. And if you go to the wiki article you linked and read the sentence after the one you pasted, you’ll find it says :“ASCII tab is intended to be a human-readable format rather than machine-readable, and hence is not strictly defined.”.
Wanna see another musical notation method that doesn’t actually notate music?
+5 -6 -7 +7 -6 +5 -6 -7 +7 -6
+5 -6 -7 +7 -7 -6 +7 -7 -6 +8 +8 +8
+8 -8 +8 -9 -9 -9 +8 -8 -9 +8
-8 +7 -7 +8 +7 -7 -6
That’s a harmonica tab - the number is the hole, the sign is inhale-exhale, but to actually play the song, you need to already know the tune to Bella Ciao.
Yes, but it generally doesn’t, for example, record length, or rests, or dynamics… It’s not intended to fully describe a piece of music, it’s really more of a diagram of a series of notes, specific to a guitar layout, that instruct you on playing a melody you’re presumed to already know the sound of.
It’s not really used by “a tool”, it’s a customary txt-format notation for guitar. People use it to learn/teach how an existing song is played, it’s not intended to actually notate music.
…which is why it wouldn’t matter in Europe. That’s the point.
…Because Taiwan is an island?
It’s a joke on a tweet about a guy spending a multi-hour flight just staring straight ahead.
“Refusing to do dumb shit reeks of privilege because there are people who can’t afford to refuse to do dumb shit” is a take right along with “curing cancer is unfair to people who already died of cancer”.
