RE: Really sad, a terrible loss to the human experience

Israel Kamakawiwo?ole - once heard surely not forgotten.

RE: BIG News ! China moves to ban wild animals as food.

typical dishonesty from soonyoull - I never said all - and it is true that dogs are bred for consumption, whatever he says. Nor did I make any attempt to 'whitewash'. I am sure the roast rats I saw in the hills were not purpose-bred, but I can say truthfully I never saw live caged dogs or cats in the marketplaces I visited, only carcasses hanging as pigs or cattle do in a slaughterhouse or butchers. If you want to dispute my words do not distort or misquote them, try to do it with a skerrick of integrity..

RE: If the virus had a smell –

Yet you there, masked as you are, and far away too, this I can tolerate and if you smoke
no smell remains, you are just as lovely as you look

RE: If the virus had a smell –

not near, I recall how I recoil

As an ex-smoker I know how ex I am.

RE: The unfortunate TRUTH about the "so-called" president

Like it or lump it he is your elected president. It's your fault, you let it happen! Serves you right. Don't let it happen again, please please please.
The world needs one less Trump, Duterte Bolsonaro. The world needs to wise up.

RE: If the virus had a smell –

delicious gust of stale smoke

Oh god it reminds me...

I stayed in a hotel in Japan, Narita. Did they have non-smoking rooms? No. It took me two weeks to get rid of the stench, and the memory persists till today, almost two years later. Ex-smoker, 40 years ago, 3 packs a day

RE: Covid has NOT magically gone away

The second wave is a euphemism for another or the next

RE: Covid has NOT magically gone away

Immunity, by the way, is not a given... I see scientists suggest it is temporary, unlike measles immunity. A year perhaps at a time

RE: If the virus had a smell –

@viv how do you get the quoted text (shows in a pumpkin yellow box)? It is not an option I can find in my browsers - Chrome and Firefox.

RE: Who can we trust?

I see on searching (knowing of course the name is bogus, an invention) there is indeed a Nuwaubian Nation. Potsy people exist wherever you turn. You have indeed only to look here.

RE: Who can we trust?

about the location of your head...

The human anatomy has four cheeks. Your head location bring them, appropriately, into close proximity.

From Latin, which I studied in high-school for 3 years, a word lingers, propinquity. No idea why, but there it is etched forever it seems. Four cheeks in sublime propinquity. Sounds issue from each pair but in your case only one is intelligible.

RE: Who can we trust?

well your wisdom is not wisdom at all. Trust not yourself

RE: Obama Legacy Unraveling – Worse than Watergate

How could anything be worse than Watergate ... think back ... it happened during office. That profane idiot Americans voted in as president thought aloud things which are truly incomprehensible. Get real.

RE: US Rep. Nancy Pelosi's 3 TRILLION USD Plan for C-19 "stimulus relief",

and rejection of such a bill is something to boast of, is it? To gloat about is it? Strange minds. Despite entrenched differences the Australian parliament adopts bipartisan 'social welfare' laws to assist our people, why do you strange Americans, you in particular, reject such notions?

RE: If the virus had a smell –

'Spargel' in German if my distant recall of German is correct'

Oh no! I forgot what I meant to say. Memories of Asparagus and Penne have flooded in from 55 years ago. And I cannot remember what we call that cheesy dish with hollow macaroni. Ah, macaroni cheese: Makkaroni-Käse mit Spargel und schwarzem Pfeffer (courtesy of google translate) but I still forget what I meant to say - something about the Queen I suspect

RE: The Cruel attack by Obama on Trump

Actually I rather liked and respected Jimmy Carter, but was considerably puzzled by his abject failure

RE: The New Normal

@vivian yumcha is a bit like tapas, small dishes, smaller and cheaper than tapas - Chinese steamed dishes mostly. yumcha means 'drink tea' and usually starts about 10-11 am, and finishes 2-3pm. It is also called yincha, dimsum or dianxin all meaning small dishes with tea.

RE: The New Normal

... ah! and Vivian has only one photo

RE: The New Normal

So how do you explain the be-masked VivianLee? haha

RE: The New Normal

Oh that's weird! A few days ago I changed my profile photo to one in harbin, mask beanie gloves scarf, all rugged up. Now through no action of my own it has changed again to another photo, taken in guilin. I did not do that, but it has clearly happened.

RE: This Time of Year...

Autism? Become lecturers?

Scarcely, maybe 0.0001%

Perhaps 2% of the population fall within Autism spectrum, and the range is from profound to mild, a very few indeed have an outstanding skill, but may have something special for them alone. What happens when their carers pass on?

RE: Describe your muse?

Oh, and let me add:
Politician/Orator: Gough Whitlam!

RE: Describe your muse?

My muse singular? By no means, many!
Literature: Robert Graves, Grahame Green, William Faulkner
Music: Bach, Shostakovich, Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins, Jacqueline du Pre, Bertold Brecht
Humanity: Paul Robeson, Fred Hollows
Mathematics: Leonhard Euler, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz
Philosopher Kurt Gödel, Bertrand Russell
Science/Medicine Marie Curie
Genius Newton above all
And a particular place for David Attenborough

... most but by no means all.

When I return as a woman in my next incarnation there will be many more females ... laugh

RE: Me and my English after online lessons in quarantine.

ah, I was wrong, it was Kolya from Kiev, a high school maths wizard ... so no funny youtube for him

RE: Me and my English after online lessons in quarantine.

... but it is bahasa indonesia ... I had hoped to hear Polish! Nevertheless I will give it to my Russian student in ten minutes, he'll laugh too for sure.

RE: Me and my English after online lessons in quarantine.

How ever did he keep a straight face throughout!? And how he rolls his rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's! Very funny indeed!
I have two students there in Kracow, both male, young and into IT, one Vietnamese Polish, the other Polish native. None have pronunciation problems like your singer, but they do have the same problem as Russian students with articles - 'the' appearing where it shouldn't and disappearing likewise.

RE: Imagine

urban I read the Marilyn French book at the time, and didn't much like it or her writing. Back then Simone de Beauvoir was someone I really admired however, her novels too, and Jean Paul Sartre.

RE: Exposed: Democrats’ double standard on believing women

Well that's what you want it to be, you don't like the other aspect, but it is indeed the other side of the coin, and ignoring that is your own double-standard.

RE: Imagine

I remember seeing Germaine in a Sydney Uni festival of Absurdism - she was dressed as a nun in flippers as I recall. Ionesco and Rhinoceros I think was also performed.

RE: Exposed: Democrats’ double standard on believing women

@epirb
The title itself exposes a double standard, hence the objections. The title is self-serving, it applies only to Democrats and excludes Republicans. Leave out 'Democrats' and we see double standards apply across the board.
