Who tied these people to the tracks?

A mentally ill guy who’s mentally ill because his alcoholic father treated him horribly as a kid, and his father was an alcoholic because he lost his job because of the economic recession.

What now?

are they watching me decide?

Why do you care? Does that affect your decision?

There is no “non-rigged” game, this is a very messy world burdened with centuries of unfairness. At some point you’ll have to move on from merely pointing out who’s at fault towards actually trying to fix things.

I’m sure their feelings are very hurt because you hate them :(

Don’t give us too much hope!

(I’m pretty sure Russia doesn’t give a shit about Israel, and has nothing to fear from US, considering how friendly Trump is towards Putin)

West has said literally nothing about Israel, he’s been spouting racist, antisemitic, Holocaust-denying garbage for years and has been screaming openly and proudly that he’s a nazi. His antisemitism is built around his delusions of being prosecuted by the jewish musical lobby. His latest hit is a song whose refrain goes “nigga heil Hitler, nigga heil Hitler”. Any person with a modicum of moral integrity ought to have a “beef” with this idiot. Scroll through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Views_of_Kanye_West a bit.

Trying to whitewash a bald-faced nazi into a mere “POS” who’s a victim of UK’s “fascism” is revolting. I mean it. Please read through the above link and reconsider.

The number of Musicians, Politicians, and Religious Leaders on this list really leaves the impression that it’s arbitrary and personal

Those arbitrary bans for reasons such as, uhh, “systematic approach to the torture and murder of civilians”, “criminal convictions”, “war crimes”, “anti-LGBT rhetoric” and “involvement in London bombings”???

He apologised and started taking meds and then relapsed how many times already?

These lazy hippies couldn’t even record the music for the other half of the film, smh my head.

I’m pretty sure I stole this one from him, tbh

I don’t know about the features, the thing that makes me wary is that Collabora is a private company, unlike TDF which is non-profit.

I’m a fire starter, wooden fire starter

Well if we’re looking at a “history repeats itself” event, I still hope it won’t be Collabora replacing LO as the default FOSS office suite.

LO works fine, it won’t suddenly stop because of this. But it may gradually decline, that’s to be seen… I’ll stick with LO for now.

Thank you! I opened the thread kind of wondering how interesting it could be - after all, you’re just placing the artwork where it has to be, no big philosophy, right, what is there to even ask? But reading through the existing replies and thinking about my own experiences in museums inspired me to come up with questions, and your answers have been really interesting.

As for the reflection, I wondered if the problem could be that I’m physically too short so I view the artwork from a lower angle…

if you’re saying stuff like this

I’m not. My statement was (quite obviously, I think) an illustration of the bizarre logic of interpreting “A is better than B” as “people who have difficulties with A should be gatekept from the subject altogether and not use B either”.

Reading literally engages different parts of your brain that are otherwise dormant.

That’s still not “a lot more cognitive effort” that you claimed, though, and also not proof that it reduces your appreciation of the animation.

And as I mentioned, sometimes I want to watch stuff while high.

Who cares? That’s such a specific use case, nobody is arguing for or against dubbing with regards to how much you can follow it while high.

Sometimes I want to give my eyes a break from using my glasses or reading things in fine detail.

but it is also very common for myself and a lot of other people to be doing other things and having TV on in the background

Writing this after previously arguing dubbing is better because it allows you to follow the animation more attentively is just ridiculous.

This whole discussion is ridiculous, in fact.

In galleries and museums I frequently find it difficult to properly see a painting with a glass cover because the glass reflects the room’s lighting. So wherever I stand, one part of the painting is covered by light. Is this normal?

I’ve seen one guy online years ago claim that the important old artworks shown in museums and galleries are actually replicas, that it’s too dangerous to display the originals. I thought that sounds like bullshit. Is it?

You get artworks by people like Cornelia Parker, which may involve a lot of individual pieces, which need individually hanging at an exact height in a specific place.

I just googled the pics. Do these sort of pieces come with diagrams showing how to place them?

That keeps out the visually impaired.

And favouring walking and riding a bicycle over driving a car is gatekeeping of transport because it keeps out the disabled. What a bizarre argument/accusation.

It requires a lot more cognitive effort to watch, and takes your eyes off the actual animation that you are meant to enjoy.

It doesn’t, as long as your reading skills are above that of a 12-year-old.

People in the US who watch foreign films in different languages have a similar subculture.

Bruh, what? Non-English films aren’t dubbed enough in the first place for this to be a metric for a “subculture”.

So you’re just demanding the baseline for a normal society.

So why is OP presenting that as something negative, or unworthy of supporting?

Two thirds of secondary teachers (66 per cent) agree that pupils’ critical thinking has declined due to AI usage.

AI use among teachers is now widespread and growing. Three quarters (76 per cent) are now using AI tools for day-to-day work,

hmmm 🤔

Libs claim that in the US people are equal before the law?
