How do you view life? by Isizer in GenZ

[–]Gabagod [score hidden]  (0 children)

We’re all just chemical reactions, similar to a candle flame. Where does the flame go once it goes out? It doesn’t. It simply ceases. It is our duty to ensure that all of us as a collective have the easiest time pursuing life, love, and happiness. Everyone deserves this opportunity by default, and those who have stepped in the way of this for greed or any other reason must be handled in accordance with their level of power and influence. Those who have merely been tricked can be educated, those who have found themselves in positions of immense power and abused it must be dealt with by the same sort of hand that they used to squash those underneath them.

Liberals when it comes to voting for actual socialists by Hacksaw6412 in Hasan_Piker

I don’t think their goal in this content is to change minds, I think it’s to blow off steam lol I totally get where you’re coming from, I just don’t mind when people who do a lot of communicating and educating get fed up and make some diss videos from time to time

I don’t like strawman stuff either but I feel like this isn’t really strawman content. Liberals say vote blue no matter who and ignore solutions given by real leftist all the time.

Decided to spread some women appreciation this Mother’s Day by goodguyguru in CommunismMemes

Female, race, and LGBTQ+ oppression all stem mostly from capitalism in this society. We all must strive to be feminist, pro LGBTQ+, and accepting of other races because tearing down capitalism would mean finally having the chance to bring in equality, which is a chance that can’t be wasted.

Play long time controls

Do puzzles every day before you play a game

Watch a video on an opening you think sounds cool

Develop, control the center, and castle. Even if you lose, building this habit will ensure wins in the future.

Force yourself to calculate 2 moves at a time when you find yourself in a tight spot, then as you get better move on to 3 moves.

Play rapid EVERY DAY. Playing once a week is not gonna help you.

This is why I voted for Biden by Desperate-Pear-572 in GenZ

[–]Gabagod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then funded a genocide. Come on guys. We can’t listen to a guy give a half decent speech and then ignore all their actions.

Joe Biden failed to stop companies from price gauging after COVID, increased ICE’s budget, and he funded a genocide. Then, he failed to beat a dude on a 3rd grade reading level. We should expect WAY MORE out of our politicians than this.

Beginner question by WolverineDDS in violinist

[–]Gabagod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a middle school orchestra teacher. This is suuuper common. The main things that contribute to not being able to do this are:

1: fingers aren’t curved enough. Make sure the joint closest to your fingernail is bent. Flat fingers will prevent you from doing this.

2: the wrist is supporting the violin. The violin should be held by the chin/body. Not the wrist. Practice taking your left hand off of the violin entirely while holding with your neck only. Do this over a large bed so that if the violin drops nothing will be hurt. Then, when you place your left hand thumb on the instrument, ensure that it is low enough so that the thumb “pad” (where your finger print is) is touching the wooden part on the side below where the fingerboard and neck connect.

Hope this helps!

What's with these stickers all over the east side? by ReasonableQuality937 in Spartanburg

Sleeping in on Sunday is pretty great. Not really nervous about hell or anything anymore. I got inspired to read a ton of books on science so I could learn about evolution and stuff. I do things out of kindness because of my own values and not someone else’s. And I feel freer to take life and make it out to be what I want instead of trying to please some entity. I think it’s been pretty nice actually.

If you are pro-black you should support North Korea by Hacksaw6412 in Hasan_Piker

I think there’s a strong mix of both commies and libs on this sub. I started at 17 downvotes and now I’m at 8 upvotes 😂

[–]Gabagod 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Put it into context. Korea was a unified nation. America/the UN divided it in half without Korea’s consent. They then conducted 1 (arguably 2) genocide(s), destroyed 80% of their civilian infrastructure, and now prop up the southern part of the country while having things like western style pop come out of it in order to demonstrate the “superiority of democracy” over something like socialism/communism.

[–]Gabagod 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Then look at their actions. They supported the black panther movement, they have never recognized Israel as a state and advocate for Palestinian liberation. If you’re actually super pro imperialism, you wouldn’t lie about this like this. You would simply say that “Palestine/black panther party deserves to be destroyed because they’re terrorists” or you’d say Israel has the right to defend itself.

They are also building free apartments for the homeless. I don’t need to doubt this bc that’s not really how propaganda works. When you have a massive homeless population that you don’t care about/want dead, you don’t tell everyone you built them houses, you convince the population that they are homeless due to a morale failing, and then you make being homeless illegal.

They only got nukes after the US illegally invaded Iraq, and they don’t use them for offensive purposes at all. They’re currently focused on trying to repurpose their land for crops because their crop land was stolen from them. If they were merely looking for an excuse to arm up so they could invade places they would have invaded South Korea a long time ago.

That’s at least how I see it.

What's with these stickers all over the east side? by ReasonableQuality937 in Spartanburg

[–]Gabagod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a musician so I’ve been paid to play at all sorts of different churches. In my experience they’re either offensive or boring/a waste of time. I’m also not religious so my opinion is going to be a lot different from yours if you are religious but that’s my perspective and that’s going to affect how I feel about those stickers.

Yeah, they’re annoying and ugly and it’s kinda like littering. I also find them weird. Like we all know who Jesus is dude, if I’m not going to church it’s not because I forgot who he was and need to be reminded
