    Yeah.
    So that's why all stewardesses are graded based on looks, and that even the men look particularly handsome.
    Tomorrow is like an empty canvas that extends endlessly, what should I sketch on it?

And now we have to use it.

    And that's Why I'm Voting Leave.

    Not to mention money! I've heard that setup costs something like 50k.

    Speaking of costly setups. Guess who was able to talk to the guy who produced this video when he premiered it in 4k?



    Spoiler:
    And I *might* have also been the one who introduced him to the pianist featured here, Ludovico Einaudi. He's one of my favorite modern pianists, with plays like "I Giorni", "Divenire", "Primavera" and this one "Nuvole Bianche".

    Damn, you're straight up intertwined in the video everyone is passing around this week.

    I must admit it feels gratifying to an extent. Sharing the same name, it kinda puts in perspective what I could've been doing now if I just had the guts and initiative.

    He did showcase a video about Fiji that I loved too, but haven't seen it up on his webpage yet.

    Edit: Scratch that, here it is.

    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    This just proves Obama is an ivory tower elitist, see.
    The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
    The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
    When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
    I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun

    For the fourth or fifth time, I dislike the smug politicization of this thread.

    It's worth pointing out that ranges of percentage points are sorta random and inconsistent. If they did simple 10 basis-point gradation it would look different.

    I don't think you'd prefer the Pony avalanche, though

    Maybe it's about time you'd realise no one's really interested about your likes and dislikes with regard to this thread
    I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
    I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
    Which is what I am

    I aim at the stars

    So if every day I just post a photo of a starving child or a failing school and snicker that it's Ziggy's fault, you won't mind?

    What?

    Uhm, go for it. I won't mind. It would be just a little more batshit insane than your recent posts and chances are I won't even raise an eyebrow.\


    Now go forth and enjoy Barcelona for Christopher's sake.

    Sometimes I think TWF is a place where cyber bullying can really be seen as a concern. It seems that you really go into stinging with accuracy & punishing force. I guess that's at least one pitiable trait among you adults that I otherwise fancy tirelessly.
