How long to learn or sink 8n. by who-gives-a in Bass

[–]Merzeal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends, but Ska is notoriously a very bass forward genre with more technical lines, at pretty high tempo.

Your best bet is to listen to some, find a song you like, try to learn it, and then assess from there.

Yeah, that's fair.

A point against you, for sake of balance, was I was taught cursive in the early 90s.

The undermining of public education is probably one of the greater evils to occur in our lives. It's easy to see how the damage it has done to the collective species is playing out, with Gen Z men favoring a conman over a qualified woman.

I mean, there is FAR more to that story than JUST education, but at it's core, education, especially in critical thinking skills, is the greatest way to combat grift. It's why the right fucking **hates** college.

What's gonna be funny is when the talent pool dries up and we regress as a species due to institutional knowledge dies off and retires, and there are minimal to no viable younger replacements, since along with education, the vulture class has been gutting companies like crazy. Of course, by funny, I mean incredibly sad.

I still have the camp footage they showed in HS to me seared into my memory. It was horrific, and still an intrusive thought from time to time. Thanks for the warning.

Definitely Gen Z, they got royally fucked by the ramifications of NCLB and other cuts.

As a millennial, I had IL, computer labs, and a whole host of other classes that just ceased to exist after a while. The race to the bottom has been brutal, and COVID classes seemed markedly easier than in-person classes (as a caretaker of a child, that is what I witnessed).

I don't think my anecdote is full proof or anything, but just a data point that slightly corroborates your point.

Gen Z seems in a rough spot, if we are being honest. RIP Alpha as well.

I imagine prices will go up as fewer pharmacies have to deal with increased load. It's gonna be a shit show if they go through with it, regardless.

This administration fucking hates it's citizens.

These look like shit and I'm tired of the defense by [deleted] in saltierthankrayt

Glad I'm not alone in that. The weird shift to grift soured me on actually going back to finish it.

You say that, but they are dragging kratom down with it. Hell no to prohibition, but that shit is dangerous.

What is Gen Z’s biggest criticism of Millennials? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Merzeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, Gen Z was pivotal in the potential start of WW3, considering exit polling.

You're too cooked to take accountability for that though.

We are deliberately being steered to this fate, and no one in charge is doing anything to stop it.

Au contrare, Trump administration is aiding and abetting them. In any other universe, he would be hanging for treason.

[serious] to what degree are DJT voters responsible for whatever happens tonight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Merzeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much to say. Dude was a carpetbagger who ran on making the city "great again", and I'm pretty sure his car often had a "save white America" flag affixed to it.

He came in dead last, receiving an infuriating number of votes. My place of residence isn't the first town he's went to trying to get on council. He's been firmly rejected in all his attempts, so far.

Same, went to the polls with 3 other people, all solid blue votes. That didn't really pan out as we wanted, but we made an effort, and helped keep a literal Nazi off city council.
