I think that's what Harry Hindu was saying at least, and I agree with you: there is an overwhelming profusion of interesting new music. The sentiment ...

This is what I said: But sure, there are many exceptions. Although note that King Crimson is now focused on the back catalogue rather than new stuff. ...

It's odd to be accused of political correctness of all things. In any case, thanks for your concern. We'll be trying to maintain standards, as always.

Maybe the majority of musicians don't compromise as they grow older, and you haven't noticed simply because they're less famous. And there are many ev...

More fake news

I saw a purple heron eating a snake last week.

Ah, that explains it. True birding skills don't flower until one's mid-thirties. Although I was precocious: my glory years were in my late twenties.

Not expert. Enthusiast.

Sorry but I somehow doubt that. One never forgets the difference between a stork and a crane. That's, like, basic shit man.

I got my birds down

Yeah but you can drop them, or rather, they're often implicit.

Looks more like a crane.

You could have said enviaré to mean "I will send". I do like Spanish.

Nice thrush.

I listened to the whole bloody thing and didn't hear him say anything about starlings. Very disappointed.

Good luck.

I assumed you chose a lotus flower because you are enlightened and pure of spirit.

Emus and ostriches are too big, and I don't like Big Bird, and I didn't get the dick joke, but I don't care.

The flocking behaviour of the ostrich pales in comparison to the starling's.

Well played sir.

Okay, well, I'm not taking sides here.

I urge you to stop trying to steal their eggs.

The big ones are, at least.

I am unfamiliar with chickadees, but they look like tits to me. A nice bird, I'm sure. Starlings are great because of their iridescent plumage, their ...

Yeah I jumped on the bandwagon. It's a starling, which is my current favourite bird.

This is a good tip. I know a Spanish woman who got her then-boyfriend, a Scotsman, from zero up to fluent in one month, as she didn't speak English. I...

Yeah, that makes sense. When everything is reggaeton, it's too easy to just turn off one's ears.

Without addressing your questions in much detail, let me just ask: have you never had the feeling that you are talking to someone who is more intellig...

My spring and summer were plagued with "Súbeme la Radio" and "Despacito", playing constantly at the restaurant next door to my apartment, and I can't ...

I just want to say, don't be like me. I moved to Spain last year and haven't made much progress. It's partly because of the nature of my work (web dev...

I didn't respond to it because it was a silly point, and since you know I'm an intelligent person, you must know my answer: obviously you could be arr...

An incredible comment. You must be joking, and yet obviously you're not. Stating that something is the cold hard truth does not make it so. You merely...

Precisely.

The allotment of death. For the one path of my flight is direct Through the bones of the living. No arguments assert my right

Is this self-mockery? Now I'm confused.

Is this self-mockery?

I know, and you have a point, and it's exactly what I tried to address in my post.

Baden has already addressed this but I'd already written my own response so here it is... As I see it this discussion is not about ideology, but about...

You're right, and I agree with several of your other points. I agree with all of this. The crucial part of the guidelines is here: A respectful tone i...

But some power relationships are personal: there will surely always be people who have more forceful personalities, who are more aggressive, or who ar...

Nicely put.

I don't know why TimeLine said "I'm learning".

According to the change log, that was Noble Dust's own edit.

On the other hand, if I was soaked by rain and I said I was as wet as a fish, you would know what I meant. It's not nonsense. The primary problem then...

Pretty much, I reckon.

????????????? got the gist of my comment, and it's a standard interpretation of Wittgenstein. That's pretty much what I meant. To ask "is a fish wet i...

I hear it TL. In fact, if I get around to asking the developers, I might request an entirely different, better set of emoticons.

Or maybe we have failed language, just by asking the question.

Yep, it's among mostly American Protestants that you find the creationists and fundamentalists. On the various brands of Christianity, their doctrines...
