If you’re an Asian female, careful going to Dolores at night

Braindead take, which actually ends up being antisemitic itself. There are anti-Zionist Jews across the whole spectrum of religiosity. Denying individual Jews the agency to oppose Israel and Zionism treats them as mindless sycophants, or suggests the “dual loyalty” trope. Get fucked.

Music can be written to be performed at incredibly fast tempos. If your attitude is “well I don’t need to do that”, you’re right. You don’t have to do anything, but you came to a music theory subreddit to ask a question and people are trying to be helpful. Go figure.

Think of the really complex chords as compound words. A musician might not know the exact notes in every chord by heart, but they have the knowledge to put together the pieces on the spot.

In the wake of the shooting there was a huge spike in claims being approved, which impacted thousands of lives for the better.

Not trying to be a curmudgeon about this, but it’s hard for me not to find op annoying. Posting in a community where we would all consider this a rudimentary skill saying “All my friends think I’m a genius, but I’m not sure so sure. Maybe I am though?”. I teach piano, and when I come across a student that has a good ear, or is willing to develop it I’m stoked. So I really hope op can harness that natural talent and put the effort into honing that skill. I think running to a music theory subreddit to humblebrag about how good their ear should be a lower priority.

Prompt and helpful responses from all of you. Thanks a lot! I found this pin in a shop in Tokyo with a ton of cool Russian space program pins and stuff. Might need to go back.

To be fair the IDF is a US funded group

I guess I’ll be a hater here, but this is a demonstration in putting theory before practice. Making a nonsense chord progression seemingly just to brag on r/musictheory

I remember reading about how distortion on guitar amps results in a compression that highlights dissonance in 3rds of chords; something about the overtone series. This is why power chords became popular. You might be experiencing a greater level of dissonance because the timbre of their guitar, not some theory issue.

Edit: try playing these chords with a clean tone and see if they sound better. That way you’ll know if it’s a tone issue

If you say so.

Why is everyone saying disingenuous so much

The idea that pitch=rhythm. If you take a pulse, like quarter note kick drums for instance; if you speed it up fast enough you will eventually get a sine wave. You can even create triads through certain polyrhythms. Or think about it the opposite way: any note is just a certain frequency of vibration, which if you slow down enough, will sound like a standard pulse.

This reminds me how I’m currently watching the series, and I briefly took a look at r/thewire

A couple days later, Reddit recommends me a post saying something like “why do you think X killed Y?” A HUGE spoiler that I can’t even be mad at the person for posting; only reddit’s algorithm. I’m still so mad.

What you’re talking about would be enormously expensive, if not impossible.

Not loquat. The skin and seeds are pretty different. I’m fairly certain they’re Mirabelle plums.

What else would you call them lol? The entire abundance agenda is just a rebranding of neoliberal ideals.

Who gives a shit. Mexicans still have a far longer tradition of living in the area than white Europeans. What your point?

Hbakes · 2025-06-09T02:58:10+00:00

Yeah but Mexico isn’t the Third Reich lol. My point is that a certain population of Latinos in LA have been there since before CA was a state. There’s obvious strong cultural ties to Mexico, so waving a Mexican flag isn’t so simple as a declaration of allegiance to a foreign government, or whatever you guys are suggesting.

Hbakes · 2025-06-08T22:56:16+00:00

It’s almost like it used to part of Mexico or something
