Just for reference, in the case of Eno, this is the worst idea anyway - "Here Come The Warm Jets" is kinda... not that good.
Still a fun listen though.
This is the objective scientific answer, OP.
The Fripp collaborations also merit your attention.
Yeah, that got a double-take out of me too. Hell, "Lord Pickles" alone is quite the concept to be reminded of in itself.
What is happening?
Already answered your own question there chum:
have the Tories just given up
...they're literally just sitting and running down the clock at this point.
This is exactly the sort of aggressive nonsense that constitutes the problem I'm trying to shed light on for you. Stop it. You don't help. The road it leads down ends in oppression for all of us, no matter if it's from the "left" or "right". Stop picking fights.
For the record, your read of me is very far off the mark.
"Politics" is not about reconciliation. It is a battle
QED.
Oh well, I tried.
The "i don't want factions" faction
Which you've just invented. No such animal exists unless you insist on comprehending the world in absolutes. It's an unhelpful choice.
irreconcilable differences in ideology
There are none. When you choose an ideology that claims there are, then you are de facto giving up on politics in favour of fighting.
The reason we as a species gradually invented politics over the last five or ten thousand years is precisely to reconcile differences of opinion that would otherwise lead to conflict. A refusal to partake in it would be base barbarism, in my estimation.
You're keen to do "factions" (your word).
That's not politics. That's the problem with politics.
I recall having a vague idea it might've been a Charlie Brooker project, but I don't remember why.
The animal genitalia insults fitted, at any rate.
Is there really any need to import stupid school playground drama from reddit?
No. No, there is not :)
Just for the record: the Sun ended Page 3 in 2015.
No "it was a different time" excuses wash yet.
No.
There's no need for monoculture - especially on a platform that aims to be decentralised.
Look at it this way - if some town has three gay bars, three metal pubs and three old-man real-ale pubs, it's not an issue for the LGBT community, the metal community or the drunk old men; they're just different places to drink. Possibly the drunk gay old metal fans might get confused, but they sound awesome and are likely welcome everywhere.
...actually, thinking about it, I bet the drunk old men probably do have an issue with all eight of the other pubs they don't go to. But that's just them.
I would love to know more without having to actually research who this guy is.
With the greatest of respect: the guy was Chancellor of the Exchequer for years. It seems reasonable to assume people know who he is in a UK politics forum. (edit: sp.)
on par with Private Eye
...dear god man. I mean, it's great at what it does, but comparable to the Eye? No. Just... no XD
We have been contacted by George Osborne and Thea Rogers’ lawyers
This, though, may as well be a straight-up admission of truth.
I mean, let's be real - it's totally inconsequential. We've known for years who he is and how he fills his days waiting for his inheritance, and more importantly, none of this stuff, even if true, will actually affect him in any meaningful way.
But I can't claim for a second that I'm not chuckling at his misfortune today.
"PopBitch" (that's a new one)
They've been around for knocking on 20 years, if not longer.
Absolutely nothing more noble than a gossip-sheet (and they don't aim any higher either, to be clear), but they are legit and are broadly non-partisan.
For my money: yes, you should use an IDE or something like one, but not because you're "missing out" - rather, because a plain text editor will limit your progress.
There are (still!) people around who think it's some sort of badge of honour to only use text editors, but in reality, this means they miss the syntax errors and typoes that we all make because we are human, and end up wasting hours looking for them when an IDE would let them see them.
You wouldn't turn up at a cookery school saying "I'm still a beginner, so I'm only going to use this pair of scissors" - specialised knives and utensils are part of the chef's toolkit, and becoming a better chef is just as much about learning to use them effectively as it is about memorising recipes. It's the same with programming.
