Yes. One is the amount of music sales, the other the amount of Spotify.

lol take a guess given current events :P

Thanks for the clarification, I assumed you meant that the West had backed HTS, but I understand what you meant now. :)

You okay mate?

I don’t understand, do you mean that the west should have backed this terrorist group to come out on top or what?

My point exactly

Oh sorry, I just assumed you meant that the west backed these rebels, which they don’t. You should have been clearer if that wasn’t the case.

They seem to be backed by Turkey, which isn’t a western country afak?

The statements their leader have made seems promising. Cooperation with the UN, peaceful overhanding of power etc. But they stem from Al-Qaeda so let’s hope this doesn’t age like milk…

This is great

Penalties should not be cruel just for the sake of it, no matter the crime

“Somebody moved! Fire!”
Would be proper for Israel to admit that the ceasefire was violated because they started to shoot.

Oh I agree. It’s not an easy read at all. Took me for sure three times longer to finish Neuromancer than a another similarly long sci-fi book.
Language without explanation and a plot that you view from a frog perspective is really confusing.

I can’t say it’s a master piece but I enjoyed it for it’s uniqueness and would probably read it again …sometime in a decade or so.

Currently trying to read through Count Zero, but boy is it hard. Mostly because I don’t feel for any of the characters.

How is this even possible? Aren’t sentences supposed to come with the verdict?
The punishment might come at a later date (it might in my country where you can be told that in 3 months you will serve jail time), but the sentence?

But have can you delay a sentence?
I mean it sounds so foreign to be told in court that “Yeah you’re deemed guilty… but we’re telling you your punishment later. Maybe.” instead of just BAM guilty, straight to jail it will be!

Question from another European about that, he’s convicted but never got a sentence? Or did he and why in that case isn’t he serving?

lol
