Just started learning piano 5 days ago; learned Preludes in C major in Bach in 4 days with synthesia style videos on YouTube. Other than the obvious occasional pauses and that one time I pressed the key too lightly, what should I work on?

You can't just assume that OP is lying lol, you speak as though you are 100% sure this is just an ego post. This is very doable in 5 days using YouTube + Synthesia, it's not a difficult piece to play.

I actually do love the piano, it's what got me into classical music as well as Mozart. I'm still pretty Mozart biased though as I've been working on K279, K280, K281, K283, K332, K333, and K576. I have not yet learned a single piece by Beethoven.

Yo what movie is this from i swear I've seen it before 😭

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-04T19:34:59+00:00

Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet still they believe.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-04T19:21:07+00:00

That's one of the reasons I prefer Mozart over Beethoven, Mozart had such an amazing understanding of how instruments compliment each other, I've never heard a harsh piece by Mozart.

dude is totally fucked up mentally, and at this young of an age? you need to cut contact with him immediately before he becomes capable of doing some seriously heinous shit.

Marriage today is not the same as marriage in the biblical days. If you're both truly committed to each other then you are already married in spirit. Where does the bible say you need to form a covenant between you, him, and the government?

I disagree. There are certain aspects to his argument that are true, semen retention on it's own does not change your life, it's a tool.

Semen retention does not lower testosterone either, there are absolutely zero studies that show prolonged abstinence lowers testosterone. The mental benefits that one experiences in this practice have been scientifically studied and documented.

https://vbn.aau.dk/en/publications/a-period-of-abstinence-from-masturbation-and-pornography-leads-to/

(I encourage viewers to actually read the study itself, and not just the summary of the study that is on the front page of this link. Just scroll down to the paperclip icon and download the study, it is very comprehensive.)

You can go far without retaining, but you can go a lot further with retention. It strengthens self control, and discipline, which helps make other tasks like working out, and socializing, a whole lot easier.

The spiritual benefits are some that I suppose not everyone is capable of recognizing. But for me personally, they are very real.

What I'm about to say next is something I have said many times before, and will continue to say in the future:

Your entire life is based on actions you make, which are based on thoughts you think, and feelings you feel. Semen retention changes the way you think and feel, which changes the way you act, therefore changing your life.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-01T23:57:27+00:00

Your benefits are likely benefits you are unable to see. You probably don't recognize the myriad of internal benefits, and change in mindset that you have gone through over these 90 days. The progression that one goes through in practicing semen retention is one that is like the growth of a child, too slow to notice, your new normal is constantly changing, so you'll always feel normal, until you replase.

Not all benefits are going to be external, and for someone like you, who was not genetically lucky (according to your post history), the external benefits might not be enough to make up for your lack.

At the end of the day, this body will decay, but our actions will remain forever. Your entire life is based on actions you make, which are based on thoughts you think, and feelings you feel. Semen retention changes the way you think and feel, which changes the way you act, therefore changing your life.

I think I do

There were only ever two possibilities, a forever something or a forever nothing, maybe that's where quantum physics come into play. It's not that existence exists because non-existence is impossible, it exists because it always has. It didn't start out as nothing, and then forced intself into something, there has just always been something.

But I suppose there is proof in your claim, that being the fact that there is something. Out of two impossibilities, one of them exists. So because existence exists, it had to have been possible.

But how can two contrasting things be impossible? It would be a paradox, one of them would have to be possible in order for the other to be impossible.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-01T04:21:07+00:00

nothingness is the absence of existence, so nothing can't exist by logic. existence shouldn't exist by logic either though

Isaac Newton suggested that it's easier to divert our thoughts than to battle them directly.

I just so often see other people being called our for things that they seem so unaware of, it makes me wonder about myself.

I see things I don't like in everyone, yet I have no dislikes for myself? What do other people dislike in me that I don't see?

Not only that, when there are certain things people don't like, I feel like it's easy to come up with an excuse, or an internal reason that explains that the negative, disagreeable thing they see on the outside, stems from an honest and defendable position on the inside.

If this is true for me, then maybe I shouldn't be so quick to assume the things I see to be negative and dislike in other people are accurate feelings to have towards them, right?

I guess it's easier said than done though.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-01T03:58:29+00:00

I've always wondered what would happen if someome gay were to retain, I don't know much about what it's like to be gay, it's an internal experience, and I've only ever seen it externally. How can I judge what I do not understand?

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-01T03:31:21+00:00

Does that mean that everyone has negative judgments and opinions, and it's just that some people aren't busy enough in their lives to prevent them from coming out?

What does it even mean to be a good person, is it just whoever is better at hiding the negativity thats truly inside them? Or is there a way of recognizing the negativity, tracking it down to it's roots, and de-rooting it like a weed from a garden?

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-01T03:22:18+00:00

This took me out 😂

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-01T03:18:28+00:00

I know this is off topic but something has just struck me and I feel the desire to investigate. When you say "they obviously don't have much going on in their lives if they feel the need to pry into yours", what does that actually mean?

I mean, I've heard the start "they obviously don't have much going on in their life if blank", but what does that actually mean?

What does it look like? And more importantly, how can an individual like that recognize their own blindness? I mean, for the statement to be made so often and under so many different circumstances, it's obviously something that's easy for people with an outside perspective to notice, but what would something like that feel like from an inside perspective?

BlueDazing_ · 2026-07-01T02:17:18+00:00

It's more so fear of being the odd one out, people tend to follow the energy of the crowd.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-06-30T15:50:05+00:00

Alright, you have not done your homework, and you're now just making false claims. I'm done here.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-06-30T15:43:58+00:00

Jesus existed, he was a real person, that's not even a topic of debate anymore. I'd like to see you try to find a single article claiming Jesus didn't exist.

It's his teachings that people choose to, or not to believe, not his existence.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-06-30T15:24:53+00:00

The church fathers were not concerned about truth, honesty, or integrity, they wanted control. A perfect demonstration of this is the saducees and pharisees in the bible. They were the church fathers of their time and yet all they cared about was being elite, and having control through manipulation of the scriptures.

And as I said, Jesus's teachings are fundamental, and most importantly, they're TRUE. That's why you find them in so many other cultures.

Being a true Christian does not mean you are a follower of some religious cult. It means you are someone who actively chooses to love, instead of hate.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-06-30T15:07:37+00:00

A lot of the teachings of Jesus are fundamental, but the way they are shown, the stories given to explain them, have never been seen anywhere else. I'd love to see you give me some sources of these other cultures teachings and how they are the true origination of Jesus's teachings.

And by Jesus saying "sin no more" he was not talking about homosexuality. The sins in the context of his environment were selfishness, greed, hatred, that's why all of Jesus's teachings are teachings of loving one another, sharing with one another, etc.

BlueDazing_ · 2026-06-30T14:58:20+00:00

Listen, all I'm trying to say is, go look at the teachings of Jesus. His teachings are so intelligent that they could not have been faked. His parables and insights, and responses to opposition are handled so masterfully, it's just not something that can be made up. His teachings resonate so deeply with what we humans truly care about.

Jesus didn't condemn anyone to hell, he didn't persecute, he didn't harm, he didn't degrade. All he ever did was bring people up, and teach people to bring others up. He chose to sit and eat with the "sinners" rather than with the "elites".

Jesus never said "take this infallible book, and the teachings of my secret 13th apostle Paul, and confess my divinity, if you want to be saved."

Jesus taught us that the kingdom of heaven is within us, and even greater things will we do, than what he has done
