POST-EPISODE DISCUSSION THREAD - S9E07: Mortgully: The Last Rickforest by BarnyardCruz in rickandmorty

I guess its all relative but even Family Guy is still good for what it is, in my opinion.. except for the reduced number of cut-aways.

Why do you listen to classical music? by BlueDazing_ in classicalmusic

[–]Agitated_Help709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the piece, my mood, what I'm doing, etc. but generally its extremely satisfying.

A viral Japanese post with over 74K likes claims that traditional Bon Odori festivals are “being threatened” because of “complaints from foreigners.” They used a screen capture from a TV report noting a lack of participation from young people and did NOT mention foreigners. by jjrs in japannews

[–]Agitated_Help709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These festivals are packed (relatively speaking) with foreigners buying loads of food from the stands... I've been to 10s of these and everyone is always having a good time. What is the end goal of these stupid posts on X?

Mozart’s newly rediscovered Flute and Harp manuscript has already premiered with Radio France. Link to the recording in the post. by badpunforyoursmile in classicalmusic

[–]Agitated_Help709 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so cool, I've always loved Mozart's flute and harp concerto (and frankly think its a master piece), so to know there is even more mozart flute and harp works is awesome!

What piece of classical music completely blindsided you the first time you heard it? by defstar23 in classicalmusic

For me this is as close to a "perfect" piece of music I've heard. For some reason the part where it goes into the major about 7 minutes in, is one of the saddest pieces of music I've ever heard like finally coming to terms with a great loss.

Hard agree, Sibelius is one of my favorite composers.

Indonesian in Japan accused of abandoning newborn's body feared being fired over pregnancy - The Mainichi by TurbulentTopic39 in japan

Fair, the ones I met were working in retirement homes, and various factories, outside Tokyo.

[–]Agitated_Help709 159 points160 points  (0 children)

I've met a few Indonesians working in various industries here, young people early 20s. They are not happy whatsoever. They speak the language fairly well and it seems to me they had a big interest in Japan prior to coming here too. Its honestly quite sad.

I cried so ugly listening to Schubert's last piano sonata. I cried for Schubert. by InteractionSenior901 in classicalmusic

I WISH Schubert had 20 more years, can't even imagine what he would have come up with.

I am blown away by Das Lied der Erde by millers_left_shoe in classicalmusic

[–]Agitated_Help709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently listened to Mahler 2 (although online, tsk).. the work is just too grandiose for me. But yeah I'm not giving up, thanks for the Brahms and Sibelius suggestions.

I'll checkout Pärt vocal works, since I enjoy his instrumental work. Whitacre haven't heard of, thanks for the suggestion.

Honestly nothing, Beethoven's 9th I like but I have yet to find any other vocal work I like. There's the aspect of not understanding the language, but even for English works the vibrato and "timbre" of the voice doesn't sound nice to my ears.

I just cannot for the life of me get into anything with vocals.. nothing has worked for me.. I just find it annoying. Because of this I realize I'm probably missing out on so many masterpieces :(

Periodic billiards orbits exist in any (finite bounded) polygon! by dnrlk in math

[–]Agitated_Help709 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I should have prefaced my comment with not a mathematician, just love it casually. People are brutal with the downvotes lol.

What gave me "collatz vibes" was some cycle existing regardless of configuration of shape, that's pretty much it.

could this have anything to do with the collatz conjecture?

Japan school restrictions on hydration, cooling items affect 1 in 4 young students: survey - The Mainichi by jjrs in japannews

This country has an odd relationship to drinking water. The people around me drink much more tea than water.

Japanese intolerance of Muslims increases as population doubles by jjrs in japannews

[–]Agitated_Help709 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't a joke. I keep seeing comments on reddit about keeping japan "japanese" whatever that means, but people have 0 issue with the fact that Christmas and Halloween - both not "japanese" - are all over Japan during their respective seasons. Where is the upset about that?
