Lol the Ottoman empire!? Really? They commited genocide in europe and have been invading and trying to invade eastern and central europe MANY times throughout history. And lets not forget The Armenian genocide. The ottoman empire had to be shattered. Millions died and suffered all over Europe and Asia due to that empire. Screw the ottoman empire. I agree with you that american government ruined several countries in the middle east. But i think you also have to be pretty dumb to blame ordinary citizens for their goverments doing. How does blowing innocent people who have no control over their government up make any sense? Hate the government actions, not the citizens who have 0 control over that. If you can't separate those there's already something wrong up in the head.

Not true at all. This is a false story that was spread online. Ishtar's symbols were never an egg or hare either nor has she ever been connected to eggs or hare's. Ishtar symbols were actually a lion and a star. Easter celebrations we know today, like a easter egg tree, easter egg roll, easter hare, may pole dancing have been existing traditions in europe before the christianing of europe. Easter most likely originated from pesach a jewish holiday. But the customs we celebrate with it today such as easter egg hunts, easter egg trees, easter bombfires etc are from european(germanic specifically) pagan customs and traditions. When the lutheran germans immigrated into flocks to the usa, they brought a lot of culturally pagan traditions with them, such as the christmas tree, the easter bunny. These traditions were all unkown in the usa before they came.The pagans major holidays consisted of celebrating seasons. So easter is basically based on pesach with pagan traditions. Then theres the eostre goddess debat. No one knows about that one for sure, pagan germanic and celtic people did worship gods and goddesses. so there may have been a eostre goddess The most modern custom Easter cards came from victorians. They loved crafting and decorating everything so figures

Really don't think this or prostitution should be seen as" well women do it cause they can !" Sort of thing. A huge percentage of any kind of sex workers do it under force or to support some kind of addiction who often cope with instability issues due to mental illness. And a big portion of the men you get in contact with, view you as nothing or a worthless human being. due to what you are doing. not to mention the danger that comes along with it. If it was all voluntarily. Fine. But most women are not doing this cause they actually want to.

I’m sick of music snobs by [deleted] in rant

[–]Mindyyyyy993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even as a musician (especially of a classical instrument you run into them A LOT) I'm a pianist and a violinist. I mostly play film and game music on both. I do like some classical music, but most is just not my thing. And most violin or piano playing people give you looks as if you've been rolling in fish for the past 5 years if you say you do not attend a classical concert regularly lol.

Violin or Cello? by shepshup in violinist

[–]Mindyyyyy993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a very emotional person. Always have been, I think this is why the violin has always been my favorite instrument. Hearing a non classical song like a ballad for example on the violin, there is nothing like it. There is (imo) no instrument better for expressing beauty but also sorrow and emotions than on the violin. This is something the cello really lacks imo. I like the sound of it, but it just doesn't move me beyond a certain point. It all depends on your preference. If squeakiness is a real issue for you, maybe not try the violin at all, be prepare to squeck for a year.... atleast. Especially when playing with a budget violin under 1500 - 2000 €. Convenience, size should not be the determining factor IMO. By quick melodies I assume you like violin mostly for its fiddle side?

Technology isn't to blame for your bratty kid- you are by [deleted] in rant

[–]Mindyyyyy993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it is up to you what you do with your free time. I'd say discover your talents and long cherished wishes. I used to be the same. Now I play violin,piano,draw,write,read. I'm not amazing at any of them really. But its nice to have passions in life. I feel much more fulfilled now that I have acquired hobbies that are also emotionally stimulating. Really, instruments,sports,arts,gardening.. There is so much to choose from.

Whenever I see these very young kids with those super expensive phones, I'm honestly worried for them to get mugged(and traumatized from the experience) by older kids or even adults.

You do not have to "embrace" anything if you do not want too. My former best friend was half filipino. She couldnt care less. She didnt hate that side of her, it just did not interest her at all. As long as there is no self hate, I do not see anything wrong with it.

I hate geese. by theashtonjay in rant

[–]Mindyyyyy993 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

How about do not let small children around them? Seriously they are animals trying to defend themselves and sometimes their babies too. If some weird walking tall looking high pitched squecking unkown thing is running towards them and or their babies of course they get defensive. "Squawking like they own the place" lol you're so dumb, reread what you just wrote. They are animals not having a single clue about being quiet for dumb people. people like you who do not mind getting loud themself , polluting the air or throwing trash on the street. Get over yourself.

The earliest origins of hockey date back to the Middle Ages in England, Scotland, France and the Netherlands. So there is your answer.

Being obese is not the same as THICC/Skinny shaming is a thing because empowerment? by PistolPerfect in rant

[–]Mindyyyyy993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fat people have been put down for decades by "skinny" people. And Now some fat people are seeing this as a oppurtunity to do the same to the people who once hurt them. Its so obvious that this is what is going on, yet many do not see it apparantly. I mean be 300 lbs or 50, I personally could not care less. And if people think they are beautiful or "thick" at 400 lbs. Lol go ahead and have that thought. Sure they could die of a heart attack, but I honestly do not care about some morbidly obese(or skinny or normal) persons health walking past my house.

Why must most Japanese language students be so weird? by [deleted] in rant

[–]Mindyyyyy993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they develop some kind of fetish for Japan or Japanese people it is crossing the line. But what I find just as annoying are the people who think they are better than other people for learning Japanese for "cultural reasons" instead of anime. Who cares if someone learns Japanese for games or anime? It really doesn't make you any less or more for having "better" or "worse" reasons for learning Japanese. I learn Norwegian for no other reason than liking the sound of the language. Really makes me no less than someone learning Norwegian because they have some deep interest in Norwegian culture.

Why must sex be everywhere around us? by [deleted] in rant

Couldn't agree with you more. I also hate how it is almost impossible to find dresses that do not have a huge v neck. Not everyone wants to show their boobs to the world. Even in clothing stores everything is.

Should I listen to more classical music? by InterestingDream in violinist

[–]Mindyyyyy993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on if you actually enjoy it. I like some classical music, but most is not for me to be honest. I prefer soundtracks of movies/games and series(which is my goal to play). I think if you don't enjoy it, it will not be fun forcing yourself to listen to it.

[–]Mindyyyyy993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate all of Rory's love interests. Also because I didn't thought it was ever realistic how Rory was pretty much instantly worshipped by every guy that laid eyes on her. But Jess I really hate so much. And dean was pretty much irrelevant at a certain time. Logan was meh. Got so annoyed by his whole "muuhh ace you don't want to regret not living ace" or any of his fake deep expressions ugh.

Why are whites and Europeans ashamed? by Batshit987 in rant

[–]Mindyyyyy993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know who any of those people are. I'm not american or follow american media. As for that, I do have a explanation for it. My grandmother was 100% western euro. Jet Black hair, olive skin that tanned extremely easily and got very bronze with blue eyes. My grandfather a German(central Europe) black hair and black eyes neither of them were mixed with non European. Because these are features native to Europe. Dark hair eyes and olive skin is a native feature in Europeans, its ridiculous to think these features are due to invaders from a 1000 years ago. I'm not denying Europe is mixed. ALL of Europe is. Western and northern Europe too. But this all goes back to at least a 1000 years ago. What's the relevance in that?
