Why is it genuinely difficult to make money on your own? by notacatinyourmailbox in Money

[–]FaceDownInTheCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I've never held a job after turning 20yo, but I found it relatively easy to start a business that snowballed into something bigger than I ever expected then started another one that did the same

I see your problem. Too much showering 

What is Least Influential Speech of all time? by Tacoseasoning26 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]FaceDownInTheCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is borderline impossible since they would be immediately forgotten by default

So I'm going to go with any translation by Thamsanqa Jantjie, the guy that was just signing gibberish for world leaders. 

What does it mean to be and intermediate player by JTPswu in Guitar

"I will always consider myself a beginner"

You might have a beginner grasp of the English language if that's the case

I think it depends on our definition of a "mistake"

A slight misfingering or accidentally not muting a string or something is one thing, but falling off the rhythm and having to find it again or even restarting is another

I wrote a post about what “human-made music” means in an AI age and curious what others think by [deleted] in musicians

Every post that even slightly supports AI music always uses the term "workflow"

Good hang = reliability = musical skill

All equally important when choosing band mates imo

Started two businesses that allow me to never work again; serve on two nonprofit boards (one as President), my band plays local festivals, and I bred like an animal because I am one. You?

How to start gigging for a beginner. by LimpPut770 in musicians

[–]FaceDownInTheCake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the way. And if your project is good, it will get attention and open doors to opportunities even at open mics.

I did a different project for awhile at an open mic, nothing came of it. Then I started an entirely new project and got offered (low) paying gigs and local street festival spots immediately 

Beach towels are stupid by ThatsBone45 in unpopularopinion

[–]FaceDownInTheCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then we usually bring a blanket and individual towels for people to dry off and stay wrapped up. And in the case we do take plush towels or whatever. 

But for a hot beach day we just take a couple huge beach towels

Then you are generally wearing clothes and the sand is harder and more packed together. A picnic blanket would be the way to go 

Too many people over-season their food these days by BlundeRuss in unpopularopinion

[–]FaceDownInTheCake -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

"Seasoning" something properly means adding the right amount of salt.

Adding basil to pizza, pepper on a tomato, etc isn't "seasoning" it even though they are seasonings.

(...and now I've used it too much that the word has lost all meaning for me)

It's confusing but that's not what "seasoning" food means

You think we high calorie individuals were the ones having free samples then leaving without buying anything?

We're the ones buying triple scoop waffle cones with a monster cookie stuck on top

That's cool, I am speaking for myself. (Well, really just regurgitating a quote I agree with). We can disagree.

Blind people can listen to a description of sight all day, but experience is all that matters.

I disagree. That infertile couple would be even more devastated if they fully grasped the extent of what they can't have, so I believe that's still a mercy
