Musician. Graduated college expecting to go into STEM but the work made me miserable. A little less financially stable now but I would trade that for my mental well-being 10 times out of 10.

Dead internet theory strikes again

Point heard, but calling it out as bigoted nonsense does at least help

Awareness of the process can sometimes be helpful, especially if it catches people in the middle of a doomscroll.

Hope you’re in a better place now, or at least working towards it.

Man, you’re the one that’s going out of their way to spread angry rhetoric. You were making a call about someone you don’t know with no prior info, so yes that is an assumption. I really hope you find a way to move past this anger you are holding onto, regardless of any political disagreements we might have- it’s not healthy for you or the world. Good luck out there.

I think any kind of reductive rhetoric (like you pointed out in your post) is hurtful and harmful- yes, even if the roles are reversed. It seems like you’re making a lot of assumptions based on a couple words I typed out.

Please go outside, dawg

A classic of our time

Jazz is my favorite genre to play- this thinking sill applies but it’s a lot more abstract- even if there is heavy improv as is the style, it’s still musical patterns over repeating chord changes. Couple that with the subversion of expectation thing I mentioned elsewhere in this thread and it’s a winning formula if I’ve ever heard one.

Musician here. This is definitely true, BUT interest can also come from subversion of those expectations. Can be seen in prog music and math rock (subversion of musical forms), funk (subversion of rhythmic expectation with lots of upbeats and short notes), etc

My house was broken into last Christmas, just about a year ago exactly. I understand what you mean, it feels like a violation of your space in the most personal way, even when you weren’t there to witness the deed. It sucks. All we can do is pick up the pieces though- give the car interior a good clean, maybe a long with some of the things rummaged through. Also think about what you can do to prevent the situation going forward- not to victim blame at all, but there are usually concrete things that one can do to protect against stuff like that. For example, making extra sure to lock all doors/windows and leaving the car in a well-lit area.

I’m sorry that happened to y’all, but take comfort in the fact that you are not alone in your experience.

What an interesting looking fella, I’m sure his overconfidence will not contribute directly to his downfall or anything

Yes. We have to persist through the horrors, thats just how it is on this bitch of an earth

Not existing is neither bad nor good, existence is the experience of both good and bad things. Don’t only focus on the bad ones.

Drake of the 99 Dragons lookin’ ass

Thanks for the insight, Professor

You say this like it’s impossible to do both of those things at the same time?
