Bemoaning the loss of nuance in life, news, politics and discussion/debate.

@Queen_9_0 I presume this is engagement farming BUT

Yes, clean up, staff may wipe down later but in a busy site you’re doing it for the next family, not just for the staff, and your own self respect.

Also, “you” have over ordered food and sauces - too much left over/not taken away.

@mahrukh2872 So many options -

Obvious ones are: mobile device, braille, TV, country which has a lot of light at night some parts of the year such as Iceland, as written even a torch.

Or the house is on fire …..

@Airaasayss @Arden_2210 I’m going to be gagging for some grog, then going to a gig with my gang; if I end up getting in by gatecrashing, then I might be sent to a gulag.

@iam_larrykhing @grok Poor Henry. Impressed at pre Daniel auditions but they thought he was too young, now they think he’s too old for an extended series. Tom is too “gritty tough”. Christian and Idris are also too old. Eddie and RJ are good actors but physically lack the “edge”. None of the above!

@doug_strader @NatalyaOba And there are some social oddities. For example, one of the men has taken his shoes off?

[Clive Ansell @cliveansell]

@doug_strader @NatalyaOba The picture is unclear but does the man at the back have a smartphone in his left hand?

@Oyinkansol73072 Thought you meant eat this or run 30k ….. ??!

@fesshole Does a carrot last that long?

@ranzinochj @XAestheticwalls But thanks for joining the “fun” ! 👏

[Clive Ansell @cliveansell]

@ranzinochj @XAestheticwalls Sorry, that’s a simplification convention normally held to but not necessarily in this case.

[Clive Ansell @cliveansell]

@scotti_brooks I often bemoan the lack of nuance and proper intellectual debate on X but to be clear this is absolute nonsense not science.

Yes, there is a genetic component. But it’s polygenic and complex because that’s what real world intelligence is.

And neural plasticity is key.

[Clive Ansell @cliveansell]

@BoschPlanell Ha ha. I wasn’t agreeing with the Moroccan position, just that there’s absolutely no incentive for them to intervene.

And I was musing how the UK will feel when the crossings start into Gibraltar ….

[Clive Ansell @cliveansell]

So much misunderstanding about Ceuta in so many comments.

Ceuta is attached by land to Morocco, and Morocco contends that they should own it anyway. It’s not like taking a boat from France to the UK, people simply jump the fence.

Meanwhile across the water is Gibraltar ….

@kalanoros The plates aren’t empty but the serving bowls are full and untouched, glasses only had water in but the jug holds red wine, the fork levitates and has too big a head, the outside scene and the time don’t match, the noppera-bo in the picture, etc., etc.

[Clive Ansell @cliveansell]

@kalanoros So many subtle things wrong that it throws me off interpreting the picture, but if you want a different perspective, someone’s just slapped the young guy to the right.

[Clive Ansell @cliveansell]

@K9sMoJo @Rainmaker1973 Yep. Roughly 1 in 12 boys, 1 in 200 girls.

@fesshole Just do a few small book festivals or bookshop events, then it’ll pop up whenever they google your name - or when you humbly post the event on Facebook …..
