Quote from: piggymirror on February 21, 2020, 03:17:30Today I'm feeling sad, or more likely bittersweet (but in a quite gloomy way), because I feel I'm treated like a small child by many people.

Want a candy bar, kid?  :winking_tongue  :beaming-face

What will happen if I do? And if I don't?

In any case, it will make us sad.  ;)

George Pell being let off on what amounts to a technicality, and hearsay... and just the whole train wreck of sexual abuse of children in the Catholic church (and other institutions) which goes on with hardly any of the perpetrators or enablers ever being brought to justice.  :evil:

I'm feeling quite sad as the realisation struck me that it will likely be a long time before The Cure take to the stage again 😯

Given they had such a big 2019 I was anticipating they'd have a rest from touring in 2020 ...but perhaps closer to the end of the year we would get an understanding of what they may have planned for 2021.

But now I wonder ...?

What makes me sad, is loss... (people who die, businesses which are given up).  :frowning:

The one festival appearance planned for 2020 might still be cancelled, but: they said it was not the start of something new, more like a full stop to the 2019 festival tour.

Thus, I would expect a new world tour to start after the album release (which hopefully will happen in 2020). Let's just wait and see...

I completely forgot about that July 2020 date being scheduled

We're sad because one of The Goodies died this week (Tim Brooke-Taylor).

I was sad to hear that Joseph Shabalala, who led Ladysmith Black Mambazo for many years, died on February 11 this year.  One of his sons is leading the group now and they did such a gorgeous job singing at his funeral:

Ennio Morricone has died :(

Indeed, sad about Ennio Morricone. In a strange coincidence, I'd re-watched "Once upon a time in the west" not long ago and the music kept playing in my head for days...

Olivia de Havilland passed away yesterday (at the age of 104). 😢 RIP ❤️

Losing someone to online conspiracy theories is pretty sad... he wasn't a close friend, but I knew him, he greeted me when I arrived at some clubs he put concerts on (he used to organise gigs, of course he's out of work now, which I feel pity for) and we chatted sometimes...

Now he's posting lots of theories and conspiracy bullsh!t, which is almost unbearable. Nearly all of his "friends" on FB go against it, but he doesn't seem to wake up. Sad, just sad.  :'(

I'm sorry that's happening with someone your cared about a bit, @Ulrich.  In our neighbourhood, we're surrounded by conspiracy theorists, even before COVID-19.  The Port Arthur Massacre (Australia's biggest mass shooting) didn't happen, it was staged so that the government could tighten gun controls (and thank goodness they did, we say - and still not tight enough, e.g. there's still domestic violence cases where people get threatened with guns in their own homes and some even shot, and shot dead...).  SARS-CoV-2 was deliberately cooked up by the Chinese in a lab (ask virologists and they say the chance of that is around 5% and the chance of it being a natural mutation around 95%, but who listens to virologists when completely unqualified people who couldn't tell a virus from a prion can opine away and gain traction?).  Yadda yadda yadda.  :evil:

Well the worst part is: by posting things along the lines of "it's a conspiracy in order to get rid of 'unconventional' leaders like Trump, Bolsonaro etc.", he puts himself in a right-wing corner and after the crisis he will have difficulty promoting concerts (seeing most punk fans are rather "leftist"), i.e. he's ruining his future.  :1f629:  :disappointed:

...sometimes people need to learn by cause and effect.  Frequently, perhaps...

...and sometimes I fantasise about the composting unit for annoying/pointless humans that featured in Doctor Who: The Seeds of Doom and then my 16-year-old self berates me and then I tell this prior incarnation that I've seen too much, and not enough...
