Barely anyone in this topic acknowledges the actual reason: They lied about not using genAI and were disqualified when the lie was revealed.

I think they just misread Portland for Poland. That’s where the misunderstanding lies.

Lubeegi!

Not to be thát person, but Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not a Serb, he was Austrian. Even though Austria-Hungary did annex Bosnia and Herzegovina in the late 19th century, Franz Ferdinand was not born there - in fact he was born before the annexation.

Unless you mean his killer, but then your wording is a little off and I would say “murder BY a Serbian.” Even so, the ethnicity of the murderer wasn’t really as important as his target. ;)

You’re right, always good to have a buffer.

The load time on this is insane. But I got it signed! Not that it really helped much, both my own country and my country of residence had already reached the threshold.

But still, it’s about time for an EU-wide ban on this barbaric shit.

So now there’s supposedly a second festival, of the same name, and am I getting this right, organized by the same dude who was already convicted? And Mexico is saying they have no knowledge of any such event?

I guess they bet on people being idiots - falling for it a second time - and it seems they were right.

Ah I guess that’s another one for my to-watch-list!

I honestly had to look up what Fyre festvial is. Never heard of it, but

Fyre Festival was a fraudulent luxury music festival organized by American businessman Billy McFarland and American rapper Ja Rule. It was originally created to promote the company’s Fyre app for booking music talent.

Sounds like a real loss, that.

600k? You dropped some zeros there. It’s $600,000,000.

He’d have to go a lot higher than 10k p.p. to even make them consider it, so that’d be billions. Luckily he has millions of tax payers who can fund his little obsession!

All other idiocy aside, this number is just so fucking offensive. 10k, really? That’s it?

That’s the thing. There are probably a lot of people thinking the exact same thing, you just haven’t found each other.

My god, it’s so petty, seriously.

If I were Canada, I’d make a new door on the Canadian side and then I’d build a brick wall right at the demarcation line. Let the Americans have their 40% of the building, devoid of books and stage. They’ll have a bunch of chairs to sit in.

Fucking enjoy.
