@bon3l_ @77razr No pitch really has “relations to the baroque period” since there was no pitch standard in the Baroque period, and the pitch changed from town to town, and often changed between days. Modern HIP practice usually uses A415 for Baroque music but this is an artificial standard.

@77razr im convinced 432hz supremacy is rooted in a white supremacist background since the frequency has heavy relations to the baroque era, so yk

I 100% hate that 432hz believers never know anything about music

@wight1984 @StatisticUrban Repeating something that happened over a decade ago despite the fact he has apologised for it and distanced himself from it is propaganda, because it ignores the reality of what he says now.

@natejb2003 @StatisticUrban Do you claim that Polanski's history as a hypnotherapist is just fiction invented as propaganda? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What a lot of Americans cheering on the Greens don’t understand is that the leadership of the UK Greens is stupid. I don’t mean this as a value judgement. They are genuinely unintelligent. The gap between them and AOC or Mamdani is a chasm.

@wight1984 @StatisticUrban Not really sure what point your trying to prove here? Yes, people are influenced by propaganda, what else is new?

@natejb2003 @StatisticUrban People's opinions of Polanski actually get worse when you dig into who he is as a person and what he's spent his life doing, so I don't think the problem is anything obvious on first impressions.

@Lordjimycrystal @StatisticUrban I do agree that we need more in-depth policy discussion, but I don’t think it’s really fair to say Polanski “isn’t smart” because he has some blind spots

@natejb2003 @StatisticUrban For example, I try talk to fellow leftists about policies like industry based award wages, or overtime penalty rates, or even Government shop fronts where you can directly interact with department/council reps to get stuff sorted and I always get blank stares.

@sjarmitage @Banda821011 @StatisticUrban Never said he was one of his generation’s formost thinkers, do you think AOC and Mamdani are? Or are they, like Polanski, just politicians after all? Polanski generally admits when he’s made a mistake (like the debt/deficit thing), and yet gets way more scrutiny, why is that?

@natejb2003 @Banda821011 @StatisticUrban In fairness he went to Aberystwyth uni from a private school background; has a v strange work cv; & as a party leader didn't know the difference between national debt & deficit. Is it so unreasonable to suggest he might not be one of his generation's very foremost thinkers?

@ItsAndyRyan And even if he doesn’t, you don’t have to live here to absorb the classist mindset, it permeates every level of British culture

@ItsAndyRyan He supposedly lives in the UK

@_candroid @StatisticUrban …is what you say when you have no argument left.

@natejb2003 @StatisticUrban Rattled

@Banda821011 @StatisticUrban If you genuinely think Polanski is thicker than Farage, Starmer, Rayner, Reeves, Badenoch, Streeting, Jenrick or Truss, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

@natejb2003 @StatisticUrban Zack isnt thick because he’s northern he’s thick and he’s northern.

@_candroid @StatisticUrban “Unintelligent” in the UK is commonly used to dismiss people from working class backgrounds, I don’t think it’s “sad” to call out classism when you see it

@natejb2003 @StatisticUrban Lmao come off it this is even sadder than when Keir was doing his whole son-of-a-toolmaker bit

@LateLagMC @MiloTheTweeter What reason could it be? I struggle to believe they actually think it looks better

@natejb2003 @MiloTheTweeter It's not really a "bug they won't fix" when it comes to particles because it's explicitly fixable in the json. There's probably some other reason they won't specify, either that or they made that decision based on the ticket's focus on the nametags.

These are the first particles in a LONG time to face the camera instead of the player. I didn't think they'd use "rotate_xyz" ever again.

@LateLagMC @MiloTheTweeter The Java style is objectively better, especially when it comes to nametags, which become much less legible when they get distorted all the time. This also was as a bug but was closed as “Won’t fix”. (MCPE-29181) The change happened in 1.2 apparently, for ostensibly no reason.

@MiloTheTweeter A few years ago, Bedrock changed most particles (I think all of them?) to face your position in the world instead of facing the camera, and the noxious gas particle doesn't follow that for some reason. This is also how particles look in Java Edition.

@DokkanPerfect @ibxtoycat up right down down right up

@ibxtoycat it reminds me of the cube that gave me anger issues in my childhood

Overworld netherrack just dropped!

@caped_117 @stevemorris__ Yes. How dare folks have an issue with someone with a Nazi tattoo.

@WayneMathison @sarobertsonca And the public option serves to make it impossible for the private couriers to artificially raise prices to the point of impoverishing rural Canadians.

@natejb2003 @sarobertsonca Rural Canadians have more than one courier service.

Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

@WayneMathison @sarobertsonca Postal delivery is a social utility, absolutely, if private couriers decided it wasn’t worth it, without Canada Post there would be no postal delivery, and millions of Canadians would suffer for it. Just because they set prices doesn’t mean they don’t serve a social function.

Private security doesn’t replace policing, and private clinics don’t replace emergency care. But private carriers already replace Canada Post every day. If it competes, sets prices, and still loses money, it’s not ‘social utility.’ It’s operational failure taxpayers are forced to fund.

@WayneMathison @sarobertsonca Police compete with private security, public healthcare competes with private healthcare, just because a private option exists doesn’t negate a public company’s fundamental social utility, which is worth the amount taxpayers spend on it

Canada Post isn’t police or ambulances. That comparison falls apart the second you look at reality. Police don’t compete with FedEx. Ambulances don’t lose market share to Purolator. Canada Post does. It operates in a market, charges prices, negotiates labour, and still can’t cover its costs. That’s not “public service purity.” That’s operational failure. This is the classic move: redefine inefficiency as compassion so no one can question it. And here’s the part they never say out loud. If something doesn’t have to make money, it still has to make sense. If it loses money year after year, someone pays. That someone is the taxpayer. You. Me. Every small business already getting squeezed.

Avi Lewis on his Jewish anti-Zionist roots: "I come from a long tradition, a multi-generation tradition of Jewish anti-Zionism ... as long as there's been formal pro-Israel Zionist organizations, there's been a tradition that has disagreed with that within the Jewish community."
