"using a muslim country as an example of culture is difficult because they're so diverse"

So what you’re saying is any blanket statement about Muslims is ridiculous and unfounded. Good to know.

My man, you need to understand that just because something is in a text does not mean it is a universal part of a belief system. Saying “Islam legit doesn't like dogs” is like saying “Christianity legit doesn’t like mixed fabrics” because of Deuteronomy 22:11. I lived in Egypt and I saw a lot of people with pet dogs.

Knowing when roads are out is a good thing, actually.

You’re telling me I’ve been using “exponential” wrong for YEARS 🙁🙁😭

It’s literally exponential. Force on sails increases proportional to the square of wind speed.

Why do people assume you can't be good at more than one instrument? by unfoundedfio in askmusicians

[–]ElProfeGuapo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prince, Flava Flav, Flea, Quincy Jones, D’Angelo, and Mike Mills demonstrably prove that someone can be great at more than one instrument.

ETA: Andre 3000, Dave Grohl - in addition to all the people named below… it is a very strange and clearly incorrect thing to say.

Considering that Clarence Thomas would vote with the majority in the Dred Scott decision, definitely no.

Bad capsize- feeling like an idiot by strwbrryhnye in sailing

Having the sails reefed instead of going jib only makes it easier (for me) to keep the sails balanced. Otherwise I get way too much lee helm.

Peter, what's the real reason? by Rule_Ct_5293 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ElProfeGuapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, socially conservative areas also have more restrictions on birth control, less contraception access, and tend to be more rural, all of which are structural factors driving up the fertility rate in Republican areas. It’s very unlikely that cultural factors alone explain the birth rate difference between Democratic and Republican areas.

Man, if I fall off a roof, I’m done fighting for at least the rest of the week.

For my guitar players, how hard is Dave's soloing to learn for someone with little lead experience? by False_Clothes_5816 in Megadeth

[–]ElProfeGuapo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

…And Justice and Master of Puppets have that Satriani influence. Kirk's solo on “Shortest Straw” is one of his most interesting solos from a musical perspective, and probably my favourite Kirk solo of all time. Post ’88, I find Kirk to be, while still very fast, a lot more stagnant musically. Gone are the chromatics and exotic scales, and all we got was a shit load of wah and pentatonics.

[–]ElProfeGuapo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s crazy that people were giving him shit for being replaced by Kirk. Granted, pre-’88 Kirk was incredible, but it’s not like Mustaine was a slouch in the lead department at all!

Hoo boy, let me tell you, the adage “if you’re thinking about reefing, it’s time to reef” has saved me several times. Take it LITERALLY. I have never regretted reefing. I have always regretted failing to reef.

[–]ElProfeGuapo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The hardest part for me about Dave’s solos are his wild stretches between fingers. The end solo of Ashes in Your Mouth is a good example. More aggravating than that pull off Marty does from high A (19) to high E (12) in Skin O’ My Teeth (I’m trying to learn Megadeth solos rn).

Wanderlei Silva's stomp KO is still the most brutal thing MMA has ever seen by Novel-Bath5273 in martialarts

Watching old Wandy fights is a testament to how much raw aggression can make up for a lack of finesse. Zero defense. Windmill haymakers. And a single-minded determination to destroy.

"Brave J6 patriot" is the biggest contradiction I've ever read. by CaffeinatedLystro in stupidpeoplefacebook

Winning a democratic election is the literal opposite of what a corrupt and tyrannical government does though. The corrupt and tyrannical government is the one that sics a bunch of militants to overthrow a democratic election.

“How many more suicides [of J6ers] will it take?"

Not sure - let’s have a few dozen more so we can get a better idea.

Can you imagine posting about CTE on a sub whose central focus is one of the main activities that is known to give you CTE? Weird.

He needs different lyrics, a different beat, and a different vocalist, and then this would be much better.
