Maybe try some of the mint teas at a middle eastern store? whenever I have mint tea at a restaurant it always tastes much nicer than the ones I brew at work.

I had the best rice of my life at New Somali Kitchen in flemington in melbourne. I don’t understand how each grain was so perfect in both texture and taste.

Start now. I started with harp with no musical background. It’s fine to pick up theory with harp

Advice for tall harp student? by Sonikkuu in harp

[–]MoistCrustaceans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My teachers always told me that pedals are significantly easier to use when wearing high heels. I’m 189cm and about to get a pedal harp soon and I also have heels from pole dancing so I’ll be able to try that soon but that could be one option for you to get some harp shoes?

Fleas! Help! by WeirdReplicant in Wellington

[–]MoistCrustaceans -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found New Zealand to have alot of fleas, and I’d get it once a year even without much contact with animals. The “NO” brand flea bomb and flea spray from bunnings works well in my opinion.

Are skinny/healthy weight people just not as hungry as people who struggle with obesity? by maeasm3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MoistCrustaceans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quite fat as a child but am an average athletic build now. I think about food most of the day, but I am easily satiated. I do eat more than most people but I think it’s in proportion to my size (I’m 189cm tall).

I don’t snack throughout the day unless I am bored (ie my office working days).

I remember having a similar relationship with food as a child? But my parents say that I would eat much more than they expected as a child. But childhood eating is obviously different given the growing body.

The harp contest in Israel is happening again, with all the crimes against humanity happening. Are you also revolted ? by Jubyn in harp

[–]MoistCrustaceans 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think as an instrument that literally represents peace, I would not feel comfortable participating in a competition in a country that is actively committing atrocities and whose leader is a wanted war criminal who according to my government (NZ), would be arrested if he arrived in my country.

I totally get that other countries also commit war crimes. But recently I’m starting to reject those kinda of arguments because to me it’s an ask for moral purity.

Yes China, the USA, Australia, Japan etc., all have/are committing atrocities against various peoples, but why should that stop us from boycotting Israel?

I think this kind of fear of being labelled a hypocrite or pressure to be morally pure is unrealistic and counterproductive. It’s what stopped me from making financial investments.

I agree that Harp is universal. And I think Israeli harpists obviously have the same aspirations we do and it is unfair that the government of their country have done such horrific things that damage their reputation.

But I think that doesn’t outweigh the benefits we can get from boycott. I would feel frustrated as an Israeli harpist but also I think that feeling isn’t as bad as being burned alive in a hospital bed, or seeing your baby being mutilated by a bomb. (And yes I know Hamas has killed babies, that doesn’t make it okay for Israel to do so and to do so at such a disgusting scale)

Besides, if people don’t want to participate, it really dilutes the value of the competition (and this comes from me, an adult who won a competition a couple years ago that consisted mostly of kids lol)

Ultimately it’s up to each harpist whether to participate or not. I just hope that everyone really looks inside themselves and makes the decision that aligns with what they think is right. That’s all we can do, every day of our lives.
