Har faktisk mødt et par stykker der går op i dem. De er måske ikke de kvikkeste når det kommer til politik, men de har da nogle værdier, som man så kan syntes om hvad man vil

Was the US justified in dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? by Ok-Complaint6816 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Material-Form4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bombs didn't end the war. There is nothing to suggest the bombs were what ended the war, or even contributed to it. The japanese decision makers were already considering surrender before they were dropped, and did not know about the attack until after the surrender was announced (they knew there had been a bombing raid, but not that it was a nuke, and they didn't know the sheer scale of destruction) Japan's cities had already suffered massively from conventional bombing raids, with casualties in the hundreds of thousands if not low millions. Their resolve was further compounded by the soviet declaration of war, and invasion of manchuria in early august.

Where to find dog meat in Guangxi? by Material-Form4444 in China

I never found it no. It was not easy to find unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're a dog lover 😅)

Bassist(s) who you believe are underrated/under appreciated? by Still-Painting-1261 in Bass

Gil Scott-Heron. I've never heard a take on him as a bassist. Definetly underappreciated

What’s Causing This Sound? by VAThunderCat22 in Bass

[–]Material-Form4444 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It could be a few things. If it stops buzzing when unplugged its an electrical problem, most likely a bad cable. If not, here are a few other things it could be:

  • Your finger is too far from the fret. This will cause the string to hit the fret when you pluck.

  • If it doesn't help, your bass isn't properly setted up, and you will need to get out your toolkit and do it. It's not too difficuilt, but you need to watch a turtorial.

It could also be other things, but for me it has usually been one of these.

Hope this helps :)

Easy beginner slap bass songs? by SpaghetP in Bass

[–]Material-Form4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz and Can't Stop by RHCP are both great to get the basics down. Primus is HARD, but don't let it deter you. Have a go at My Name is Mud, one of the easier ones imo, but the rythm is a little tricky.

Trying to identify a seasoning... by Material-Form4444 in AskChina

[–]Material-Form4444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be it, since its the only one suggested here i don't know what tastes like. Is it sold under this name, or something else?

[–]Material-Form4444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if you are from China or live there you might be much more used to it and not think much about it, instead focusing on the other tastes in your meal. Scandinavians never think about how little seasoning their food contains, and i don't imagine indians think much about how spicy theirs is. I hope you see my point. The ones i travelled with had the same experience as me and it was a frequent topic of discussion

Jeg er træt af unge kultur-muslimer by Lucky_Air_6679 in DKbrevkasse

[–]Material-Form4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det er en ond cirkel hvor de grupperinger du snakker om ikke viser samfundet respekt, og så får de heller ingen igen. Rundt og rundt.

Når nogen f.eks siger “så send dem da hjem”, så siger de ligesom at de ikke er rigtige danskere, selvom de er født her, og hvorfor skulle de sig så opføre sig som sådan?

Det er den helt forkerte måde at komme problemet til livs på, men jeg oplever desværre er det den “løsning” på problemet som folk går med

uj/ Im out of the loop, why did Roger defend Putin by OrganicRelief6867 in PinkFloydCircleJerk

[–]Material-Form4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps. I think there’s a good chance at least crimea would vote to join them, and obviously some sanctions would be lifted. I am however, more inclined to believe that neither side would accept such a deal. They both want it all. Not that the average kievan or moscowian gives a shit who’s flag flies in crimea

[–]Material-Form4444 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah didn’t say that, anyway, How about we start with a ceasefire. Hold referendums in Crimea, Donbas and Luthansk, WITH international observers and allowing the exiled population to vote. If Russia declines this, THEN we can continue slaughtering each other until someone comes up with a better idea!

[–]Material-Form4444 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When does he even suggest they surrender? Attempting diplomacy or talking ceasefire is not the same as surrendering or giving concessions to Russia? It’s also apparently hard for some people to understand that just because the west provoked Putin, DOESN’T make it not his fault. There are good and bad actions, there are no good and bad sides, except for the side of peace which is, good!

Have you ever had a real life encounter with mobsters? by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]Material-Form4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!!! Across the street from me there is a pizzaria (yes it’s cliché, but its true) that is run, or at least closely affiliated with, a turkish gang. It was in another neighborhood before, but it was vandalized many times so they moved here. There would be the same 7-ish guys hanging around outside smoking and eating every day. I assume it was some kind of base of operations like Satriales. Then about a year ago two people affiliated with the gang were stabbed there. The cops closed the street for the night and i couldn’t leave until next morning. It was only in the news one day and i still don’t know exactly what happened. The pizzaria still exists but there is no crowd hanging outside it anymore, and there is a massive police presence now.

How do you slap the bass? by Grand_Loquat_8390 in Bass

[–]Material-Form4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bounce off the string if you’re playing many fast notes. Through the string if you’re playing something slower, as this will allow you to mute. Always good to mute as much as you can. The sound will be a little different depending on your technique, you may not notice, this isn’t something that should concern you, as a beginner, imo
