"The Modern Greeks did this and that" "The Byzantines did this and that" 1000 years and they still use the Ancient Greeks in a way to attack us or diminish us. They recycle the same arguments! Down to the last dot.

@FT How much did Andy pay him to do it?

Tony Blair criticises Labour’s Andy Burnham for leftwing ‘delusion’ ft.trib.al/jpQKDY4

Ffs @AncPhi , πρώτα μάθε Ελληνικά (not that you need it to work where I came from, read my profile)

@AncPhi @urso_bruto Ah you're awake but not enough to answer.

@MIT_IO_ @urso_bruto Don’t come on my timeline with your filthy mouth and your obtuse personality. Your silliness has been deleted.

@urso_bruto @AncPhi Hey passive aggresive dipshit, are you @AncPhi in disguise or mansplaining just a hobby? You offered the italian word in greek letters and as for your λογοδιάρροια in english go, the phrase you didn't know you were looking for is jack of all trades master of none. Sounds boutrite

Modern Greek actually has the loanword ντιλετάντης, from the Italian "dilettante," so I am not sure why the meaning should be hard for an educated Greek speaker to understand. A dilettante is not merely an amateur. A serious amateur may love a subject deeply and pursue it with discipline. A dilettante is different. He cycles from one interest to another, enjoying the experience, the aesthetic pleasure, or the social signaling of involvement, but never submitting himself to the full demands of serious study. And if one wanted a more classical Greek equivalent, the word would be something like ἡμιμαθής - "half-learned," or "half-educated." That captures the idea very well: someone who knows a little, but not enough, and mistakes partial knowledge for real understanding or erudition.

Classicists, speaking generally, focus on texts as a kind of dilettante sport. They fail to learn or apply wisdom from the texts which they read, thinking that the texts are mere playthings in themselves, fit only for the narrow confines of academic discourse, inert and trivial.

I felt sorry for him, he's a good one & he got there in the end on his own, mostly

@McrGreenParty 🥰🤗

We're not just a petal on the Labour rose 🥀 Greens are campaigning in Makerfield. Burnham will have to earn every vote.

@latimeralder Fuck off x.com/NoirMJ/status/…

IIRC the heat in 1976 lasted for about 6 weeks. Not just a couple of days And we all very quickly got used to it Its called 'acclimatise' for a reason And it wasn't 'unbearably hot' It was the best summer ever!

@ItchXStitch @ScandicAtheist Sounds far out. I recognised this lady in Gilliam's Brazil

@MIT_IO_ @ScandicAtheist Did you ever see the episodes with the possessed ventriloquist dummy? Seriously creepy🤣

How did the planet enter an ice age with no windmills or electric cars? And how did the planet get out of that ice age without factories or farms full of cows to heat it up? If we should be worried about CO2 levels, why are we chopping trees down instead of planting new ones?

@gp96_3 @DailyTurkic DNA evidence on application

@DailyTurkic Always welcome. They can defect too if they want

Turkish tourists flooded the Greek islands because prices there are now 2-3 times cheaper than in Turkey.

@ItchXStitch @ScandicAtheist My dad's favourite. He made us watch a couple of episodes so that we get it. Seriously hilarious.

@MIT_IO_ @ScandicAtheist I get that reference 🤣

@_seangriffiths @JamesMelville They are maps with colour coded differential over/under historical average for this day, nit temperature per se

@JamesMelville I know they overdo it with the red, but the fact remains that it's 36 in London, 37, in Paris and 38 in Bordeaux and its part of a repeating pattern. London used to get the odd day over 30 in August. 25 was considered a hot day once upon a time.

Weather maps. Then and now.

@TheChefsGardens @ScandicAtheist I'll keep the screenshot 🤣😂😅

@MIT_IO_ @ScandicAtheist Seriously Was your brain this bad before you started collecting infections?

@TheChefsGardens @ScandicAtheist You said it😅 x.com/TheChefsGarden…

@TheChefsGardens @ScandicAtheist You said it😅

@TheChefsGardens @ScandicAtheist The qn was irrelevant, are you having comprehension difficulties? Need me to call someone for you?

@MIT_IO_ @ScandicAtheist So the question was too hard for you to understand? What parts did you find challenging?

@TheChefsGardens @ScandicAtheist Oh man, 'tis irrelevant what grok tells you about the ice age when you are born in the century humanity goes extinct (No covid infections either, MIT campus stayed clean)

@MIT_IO_ @ScandicAtheist So were you this easily confused before you started collecting SARS Cov2 infections?

@TheChefsGardens @ScandicAtheist Don't look up

@MIT_IO_ @ScandicAtheist Wait So the question was about the ice age and that has you baffled how exactly?
