It is an infallible way to detect whether you should sink any [further] cost into a platform, system, distro, whatever.

What else is as incredibly impressive, and at the same time as horrifically ugly, as #RegularExpressions?

By the way, if you need to detect #chords in a text chord chart, here is the #regex you need:

"[A-G](b|#)?(maj|min|m|M|\+|-|dim|aug)?[0-9|11|13]*(sus)?[0-9|11|13]*(add)?[0-9|11|13]*(\/[A-G](b|#)?)?"

edit: any #Musicians out there, can you think of any edge-case chords I should test/adjust to catch? This will be part of a Free chord chart organizer, hit me with your worst.

Name names, please.

Every time I think "maybe I'm too cynical" I learn that I have once again been trusting something I should not have trusted.

Like most North Americans I'm almost perfectly ignorant of Kurdish history, aside from a new news headlines and song lyrics that trickled in over the years, all with a common theme: The Kurds Are Getting Fucked Over Again.

What I do know about them is impressive af. Cheers.

Sell your cynicism on Threads man.

If we're comparing chronological dicks, I have a few more. Shall we return to Feudalism, perhaps? My Scottish ancestors probably would love to return to clan warfare.

Ah, so you want a revolution. Well you know, we all wanna change the world.

This system or that system is not what saves us from fascism. At some point we are all going to have be in the streets against them. Cause as you say, they don't respect norms.

We can pass laws, but we also have Signal, soon we will have @VeilidNetwork as well. You actually *can't* do it so whether you should is moot.

We don't beat them by becoming them, we beat them with unity and real action. Voting won't save us, they don't respect that either.

Confused, are they trading witticisms, or did the Tories actually appoint a Minister of Common Sense?

I would ask the same question if it was a Minister of Cucumber Sandwiches. Nothing is reality anymore.
