    I agree. There always is a fine line between unethical imitation and ethical reuse/remix/inspiration, especially because of the power dynamics you mentioned earlier. And neither the truncated quote nor the original quote address this, which makes them both cool sounding but practically limited.

    I agree with you about the power dynamics, but I would argue that practicing a song by someone else isn't imitation. Practice and cover both adequately give credit to the original author. Imitation supposes a lack of proper attribution.

    Mind you, it was still pretty good when you were on your own, with Rosie it's even better.

    Aaah, yes, I understand now. And yeah, I've always felt the truncated quote was a cop out to excuse an unethical behavior.

    I'm not sure which quote you are referring to since "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" doesn't seem to fit a bullying situation to me?

    I don't feel the truncated quote is about paying homage. In my experience it's been used as a cop out when presented with similarities with earlier work. There is a difference between imitation and inspiration and this quote doesn't adequately address the latter which you are referring to.

    Sorry about that, I have an Asus ROG and I’m happy with it, I didn’t expect to be able to upgrade it, what made your kid think that?

    Before that I had an Alienware that I didn’t to upgrade since the motherboard failed and replacing it would have cost more than a new laptop.

    For convenience. A desktop computer physically occupies space in an apartment that you can’t reclaim by folding and stowing it. It’s difficult to temporarily move rooms too.

    An American-based friend of mine asked me about laptop recommendation. Here are the constraints:
    - One laptop to play Civilization 6 and The Sims 4
    - One laptop to edit large images (book covers)
    - Both have to be on Windows
    - Total budget for both: US $2,000

    I have absolutely no knowledge of recent middle-range laptops, would you happen to know a good comparison website or specific suitable models?

    I'm with you, I don't like these reductive idioms but I like even less when they are truncated from the original quote. This quote is obviously pretty smug and very proud of itself, but at least it's complete.

    ♲ @trishgreenhalgh@twitter.com: Every year I retweet this piece on how to spot drowning. Last year someone replied saying they’d read my RT the previous year and later rescued a kid.

    "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" has never sat well with me but I've never looked into it more. Now I know the full quote and it makes way more sense to me.

    ♲ @KoriOtter@twitter.com: @BobWieting @ChelseaHerps That’s only half of that quote. The whole thing is “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” Imitation is petty and small.
    Especially so when it systemically undercuts the work of Black creators.

    It isn't that bad, but it definitely is unexpected. Until recently, caring for him was mostly about logistics. Diapers, food, school, etc... But now that he is developing his own personality, I'm starting to get attached to him as a distinct person and now I'm missing him.

    For logistics reason, I've had to switch from having my kid every other week to every couple of weeks for the summer months. I was worried that the change would affect him negatively. It turns out that he's fine, but I am not.

    The very term “SJW” was created by American conservatives to mock left-leaning militants, so “right-leaning SJW” doesn’t make sense. Even your “aren't [you] considering that there's just as many on the right wing that will destroy somebody” is off since this is exactly what the reported anecdote is about. A conservative Catholic publication outed a priest as gay using his location data provided by Grindr through a third-party.

    So you definitely should stop using “SJW” if you meant “people out to ruin lives over sexuality”, especially if they are leaning right like you seemed to have failed to identify in the reported story.

    You do understand that mentioning SJWs when someone's location data was used to out them as gay is entirely uncalled for, right? Consider this a warning, I will not tolerate people rambling about things they have no idea about on my posts.
