  • A lot of it has to do with the kind of music or instrument you play. If you’re playing guitar in a rock band, a lot of guitarists can’t read music. Hell a lot of guitar sheet music specifically has the tabs attached. If you’re playing trumpet for a jazz band or orchestra though, you’re pretty much required to read music.






  • Exactly, the goal is to make it so everyone has that much accumulated wealth by the time they retire. We have enough so that everyone can live somewhat comfortably. People who critize socialists like Hasan for being rich are dumb. Being a socialist doesn’t mean you can’t be successful, it means you want everyone to have that level of comfort and security. If they were billionaires they might have a point, but I won’t say someone’s a hypocrite for being a socialist with a few million in the bank.

    It’s also why I laugh when Conservatives talk about “The Hollywood Liberal Elite”. The real ruling class are the giant corporate executives and old money. Most actors are closer to working class than that. I also think public figures like actors, musicians, athletes, etc. should be paid a bit more than the average person, being under constant public scrutiny genuinely is stressful. The gap between them and us just needs to be closed a bit with the actual ruling class’ money.




  • I already have it all planned out. I know which album will lead into which and have ways I will play off it. I do switch as drastically as rock to Hip Hop but none of them are niche genres like choir lol.

    I’m essentially creating love letters to all these different genres that have influenced me, and they’re all genres with bigger fanbases. I’m trying to tie them together through lyrical content.



  • I’m literally not causing a genocide, the IDF and ICE are lol. Me being against said genocides does not determine whether they happen. If either of us just happened to be born in another country their actions would likely remain the same and the genocides would have happened anyway. You’re delusionally blaming all citizens for the actions of their governments. Get mad at the oligarchs, hell even the conservative voters, that is where the blame lies, not Timmy who just happened to be born in the US.


  • We all realize that. You implying all Americans are implicit because they’re forced to pay taxes, like just about any citizen of any nation, is the stupid part here. Paying taxes does not make you implicit in the actions of your government. Full stop. Yet you keep bringing it up as a “gotcha”.

    “Hehe we’re just as much to blame for being Americans even though we have a rigged election system and no way to escape it.”



  • Yeah, because it’s a really fucking stupid point to make. I didn’t choose to be born in America and I’m forced to pay taxes. It’s blaming every day citizens for their government’s actions regardless of the citizen’s actions or votes.

    The majority of Lemmy is leftist, and the majority of Americans on Lemmy do not support what’s happening right now. Should I blame you for the actions of your country? I’m sure we can find some awful shit if we look through history, especially if you’re European.
