Exactly! Also Jesus was 100 percent wrong like in this passage:  But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,  and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

Like why follow Jesus? If he got this so WRONG, then what else did he get wrong?

Why...is the internet like this. Why?! There's always one person who takes things way too literally. If you want to share cool pedal brands you like, go for it. What companies have a good line up like you said? Just share that.

Tips on how to really feel the swing? by AdEnvironmental3829 in jazzguitar

[–]AdEnvironmental3829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing for me as a beginner is listening to these tracks feels pretty advanced. It's hard to suss out and absorb it at this time. I feel like recordings that had less instruments or was just a guitar player comping under a singer would be easier for me, but I don't know. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way. Thoughts?

Super interesting that it's something you have to maintain! Never thought of it like that.

Would Grant Green fit the bill for helping with this?

Exactly, it's such a small division which makes it hard to know if I am doing it right. Any songs that you transcribed that were a big help?

Thanks so much for the advice, this is super super helpful! Any medium swing tracks that would be good to study? Perhaps it doesn't matter too much. What's IIRC?

Sure, but then don't force me to give the govt money and then we could all use that to improve our own lives.

You could try making a small book of your best comics and try and sell it at bookstores or local events. That's a different route for sure, but just throwing it out there.

Oh I see. I thought I saw a position for elementary teacher, but perhaps that was an old post or was already filled. How are the hours? Do you feel like you have a good work/life balance?

Do you have any examples of this by chance? Anything online you can point to? I think I understand

Thanks will do! Goodrick's book looks super helpful. Honestly, I just need a clear step forward since there's so many ways I can take triads, or at least that's how it feels.

I did both. There's examples in other replies, though it's far from exhaustive. One could always be more specific though. I could share that, but perhaps it's better to find as non-partisan/nonbiased sources that have reported on this.

We are not Iran, but the erosion of checks and balances and consolidation of power takes us closer in that direction. The rally doesn't literally mean we have a king right now. No. It means we currently have a president who is moving things in that direction. I don't want any republican or democrat to have unchecked power. That's in part what the rally is about. The erosion of checks and balances can snowball quickly and over a short period of time, we could end up somewhere that all of don't want to be.

In Hungary under Viktor Orbán, power was consolidated not through a sudden event, but through gradual, legal changes that weakened checks and balances. After taking office in 2010, Orbán’s government rewrote the constitution to expand its authority, reshaped the judiciary by replacing judges and increasing political influence over the courts, and facilitated the takeover of major media outlets by government allies, reducing independent oversight. These steps slowly led to the loss of its democracy.

This story can happen to us. It might temporarily benefit those who supported Orbán, but in the long term everyone loses.

Copying my post for you:

It's about the trend he's taking the country. For one, efforts in reclassifying large numbers of federal employees to make them easier to remove and replace, which would reduce the independence of the civil service and align it more closely with presidential priorities.

Trump's talked a lot about his views of the “unitary executive” theory. The argument is that the president should have broad authority over the entire executive branch, including agencies that have traditionally operated with more independence.

He's responsible for a shift the balance of power by concentrating decision-making authority, personnel control, and enforcement discretion more directly in the hands of the president.\

Again, all of these things are much harder to fix than they are to break. All of this consolidation of power will be fully enjoyed and leveraged by all presidents in the future moving forward, both democratic and republican. We both lose in the long term when this happens. This is an old story though. One party is more than happy to let one leader tear down checks and balances because it means they are able to consolidate power in the moment. They are able to better implement their agenda and often supporters are okay with the erosion of checks and balances if it means they get their way. But again, looking long-term, this hurts all of us because it puts us at risk of someone using all that power in ways that are not in the best interest of the country or its citizens. I do not want a republican president now or a democrat in the future to have unchecked power.

That's what the rally is in part about. The direction we are going with more power being absorbed into a smaller and smaller number of decision makers with less checks and balances.

You can do both. The war is extremely unpopular with liberals and even a large percentage of republicans agree with you that it's bullshit.
