Ex-FBI agent turned professional Islamophobe, he runs courses training police and security to be more bigoted.
Seems to think that the Jews, Muslims and communists are working together to create the NWO.

conditioned v unconditioned response
Pavolv noticed that dogs started to drool at the sight of the white-coated lab technicians that fed them, which was learnt (conditioned) behaviour, as opposed to an innate biological behaviour (all dogs slobber at the sight or scent of food). Went on to prove it with bells, etc.
He was a bit of a monster, killing vast numbers of dogs and other animals in his research.

Centuries of Sound - 2019
I made this!
I'm making an audio mix for every year of recorded sound. For the last few Januaries I've been posting these "contemporary" ones but I am not going to do this any more because really, nobody wants to think about 2019 at the start of 2021.
Anyway, think this is a good one, 170 minutes of great music, much of it actually beatmatched, and all generally a bit less distressing than the mixes for 2017 and 2018. There are some slightly rude / sweary / upsetting bits which I couldn't really leave out, so probably not one to listen to with your kids.

Shed of the year 2021
So it begins again - like every year since 2007
Shed of the year is now open for entry in the year 2021
Last year was a difficult one, so we had a lot of lockdown sheds being built - 2021 does not look like it's going to be any different - so if any b3tans have done up their sheds to work from during the lockdowns or turned them into a pub shed to just get blotto in - then feel free to enter them this year.
We are looking for some great shed stories as well, just to cheer me up.
Cheers

The underlying tribalism is what feels good to them.
They just externalise problems to suitable scapegoats.
They have blacks and antifa, the tories have benefit claimants and immigrants.
Unsurprisingly the percentages of people who voted for Trump and Hitler are similar.

I think the Hitler comparisons are more than a little stupid.
Hitler executed a lot of people. Trump didn’t execute any. As despicable as Trump is, and as egregious as his presidency has been, he’s nothing whatsoever like Hitler.
It seems people think that a bit of exaggeration and hyperbole is inconsequential. I think it undermines the very valid case against him. People sympathetic to Trump, or on the fence, hear the batshit comparison, know what bullshit it is, and it makes them more supportive of him. Still, he’s gone in a fortnight, and the hysteria will find something else to focus on.

You think you’re clever, but you really aren’t.
A couplet is simply a pair of sequential lines in verse. They do not have to rhyme. Thats why we talk about rhyming couplets, to distinguish them from couplets that don’t rhyme.
You falsely claim I made an error of verse analysis, and then inexplicably ascribe this to poor grammatical ability. You are so ignorant and stupid.

a couplet: a pair of successive lines of verse, rhyming and of the same length, typically with the same meter
Morrisey:
A poor woman, strangled in her very own bed as she read
But that's okay, 'cause she was old
And she would have died anyway
So three lines, not equal length, with differing meters, with a more complex internal rhyming structure.
yep, not a couplet. you could have simply said "verse", but you're pretentious yet ironically hilariously poor at grammar
Here's an example of actual rhyming couplets:
there once was a man called prufock
who most agreed was a bit of a cock,
instead of making others laugh,
he would post from the telegraph,
in lexicology and grammar
he had a supercilious manner
though always managed to be wrong
yet arguments he would prolong,
bitter tory with unmerited conceit,
you can always do a thread delete

I really do pity you.
Here are the very first and second sentences from the Wikipedia article on couplets: "A couplet is a pair of successive lines of metre in poetry. A couplet usually consists of two successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre."
You should pay particular attention to the adverb that is the third word of the second sentence there. Clue: it's 'usually'.
Failing that, read the seventh and eighth sentence of the article here: "While couplets traditionally rhyme, not all do. Poems may use white space to mark out couplets if they do not rhyme."
You quote three lines, and argue there isn't a couplet, because you've quoted three lines. The second and third lines of the three lines you quoted, that contain the cause, and the the hypothetical effect, make the couplet.
This just like your Independent SAGE and SAGE are one and the same thing lie the other day. You really don't what you're talking about.
I'm looking forward to your next riposte defending your fallacies, what could go wrong arguing about poetry with someone who calls himself Prufrock?

of this prufock's ballad I'm sadly the bearer,
and his tragic incapacity to admit when in error,
what sociopathy drives this tesco-value Rimbaud?

so even my fallacies are intellectual? what a lovely complement
hang on, was that a couplet? with your second line just being blank space (cue eerie music). if Morrisey's three line verses of unmatching meter or length are now couplets according to ee dummings (aka prufock), then even this reply is probably a couplet too. everything's a couplet according to where's waldo emerson. It's your doubling down on the stupid that's most funny
and not that I want to overburden that odd little mind of yours, but clauses with the modal "would have" already have a widely held descriptor for those that actually know and teach grammar. it's called "the conditional tense", and in this case it forms a conditional clause. Morrisey is not hypothesising an effect as you clumsily put it, he's describing a conditional: because old ∴ die soon. I say these things as you seem to lack many of the basic building blocks of grammar, and perhaps you want to work on those before you start tripping over poetical lexicology

I'd like to dislike you, brb, but everything about you is so beige it's hard to muster any feelings
it's not that you're stupid, nor that you say stupid things, at least, not with anywhere near the regularity of prufock, though when you do its often some odd aspergers-like missing of what's obvious to others. it's mostly moderate, reasonable, inessential and uninsightful, like a trainspotter cornering you at some party to explain rail gauges. you can obviously articulate a cogent argument, but it's far more fun to spar with prufocks seething jealousy and hatred
