Five separate serious attempts, I reckon? Might have been as many as 20 altogether.

Same here. Reminds me that Reddit was mostly techy posts for the first while too.

I think he/she is on a mission to reform English orthography. This is their personal evangelism. I’m ok with it.

Art, as the old adage goes, is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. It certainly is work, if you’ve ever sculpted an eight foot block of marble, or memorised one of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. And it doesn’t leave much time for paying the rent. The question is whether we compensate people for art, such that they can keep doing it. Does society invest in it, so that people of limited means can participate and have their voices heard? This debate has existed for thousands of years.

I’m sure astronauts love their work too, but they still get paid. Artistic endeavours cannot be reserved solely for the idle rich.

Livin’ the dream!

It does remind me of the US intervention in Haiti, not making a political point, just noting the similarity.

Hello fellow kid. I remember Pepsi Generation and MTV Generation. But you’re right, Gen X didn’t start in earnest until the 90s, I’m pretty sure.

Like everyone else, I get distracted and forget to do this. Then I look out at my car while standing at the register. Naturally, the numbers are not visible from this location…

The new Godzilla Minus One cost $15M and looks $200M.

32" here and same.

We have 1168. Big splurge on ecclesiastical building in the 1100s.

The Digg exodus…?

I remember reading a melodrama from the 1800s where the protagonist, a failed writer, makes a deal with the devil to have a bestselling book. In the second half he becomes wildly successful, but is tortured by the knowledge that he is genuinely mediocre. It always stuck with me. Reminds me of people buying Likes.

Kotor looks gorgeous. Is it any way interesting there?

It’s a past participle.

e.g. “The park or meadow having been newly mown, had an air at once ornamented and natural.”

“An 82-year-old great-grandad survived being mown down by a car”

I remember watching this happen to r/TheDonald in real time.

Just to avoid confusion, it’s called Coherence. That’s why none of your friends watched it! LOL

Edit: he said Cohesion.
