"To the people of the Middle East, I say now here you are with your faith and your Peter Pan advice. You have no scars on your face and you cannot handle the pressure"
- Harris excerpting Billy Joel's Pressure

Sorry, is that an attempt to lampoon someone's accent or the audio team?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No, as you corrected, they meant exert but either misunderstood or mistyped excerpt. The original text in the graphic displayed "we must excerpt pressure," so I provided a fake quote in which Harris references an excerpt from the song Pressure by Billy Joel.

See that confusion is cause you went for Billy Joel's Pressure instead of the far more popular and relevant.

Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets
Mm-ba-ba-beh, mm-ba-ba-beh
Dee-day-da, ee-day-da

Of David Bowies Under Pressure

I was originally gonna quote "Dee day da, ee day da," but decided that I can't force "under" into her statement as that would be dishonest.

Therefore, you're wrong, your comment is invalid, and you should feel bad. Should you choose to not feel bad, then I'll instead feel bad and it'll be all your fault.

Also, fuck relevance, I now choose Surface Pressure cuz that song fucking slams
