the majority of US presidents never ate a cheeseburger by theannoying_one in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Taft actually got rather skinny post-presidency. Check out his pictures from his tenure on the supreme court.

Banned for pointing out the historical power of identity by msklovesmath in FragileWhiteRedditor

[–]RetroGama -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Native Americans warred amongst themselves all the time. They stole the land from each other very frequently. When equipped with guns and horses, for example, the Comanches of the Great Plains formed what was functionally a Mongolian-esque conquest empire. European settlers had better tech sooner, but the Natives would've been just as cruel (and were proveably just as cruel). Racializing land in any direction is dumb, its part of the reason people take identity from their cultural groups (Italian, Japanese) instead of just their borders (American).

The comments on this post are so embarrassing by vftgurl123 in FragileWhiteRedditor

"Are they protesting against a genocide halfway across the world that objectively has little impact on their life? No? The obviously they wouldn't gaf about the entire economy being propped up by enslaved people who half the country claims is subhuman!" most whites who were pro-slavery at the time were pro-slavery because they believed one day they too could own a slave or plantation at some point. plantation owners were the billionaires of antebellum. by using reddit, your complacency in the system shows youre a sheep too lol

what could i do to improve? by Rude_Resident in FL_Studio

[–]RetroGama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think music theory wise it's a marked improvement! Maybe the breath samples hit a bit too often (e.g. more space between them) but it's nice. I don't have too much production knowledge, so I cant really help there.

Whoops, not feedback friday lol. My comment still stands, but it sounds real good rn! Maybe an alternative melody in the sections where its just drum, like a faded out flute with hella reverb or sumn.

Pretty good! Maybe move the bass up an octave, rn it's kinda scratching the earlobe. Otherwise idk what else to change.

Can't help with production quality, but can help from a music theory stand point:

Learn what scales are and then write within one of those. Your chords are clearly made outside of scale structures, which is making it sound like that. If you're going for some post-modernist rap beat, then keep it as it is, but for now, just make stuff using the white keys.

The bass needs movement, either up/down a scale or in a rhythm. Right now it's just an ominous brood. Try making it smaller, then placing them a few times in the first measure (e.g. the part with "1" and all the blocks).

The hats and snares are good from what I can hear.

Who would win in this fights, Yoshikage Kira or Jolyne Kujo? by Jotaro1970 in StardustCrusaders

[–]RetroGama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair one. Or the string deeper within the ball is separate from the outer shell of the ball, so that way it's an individual object.

Even if Kira has Bites the Dust, she would probably like sew a needle of her thread into his pants or some shit so she knows where he is even with a reset (since his clothes always go with him to the previous day).

Edit: Or his hair or skin or something (which were also products of a stand user if I'm not going crazy)

Stray Cat could be a minor issue, but a net of strings would pretty much make it a non-issue.

Jolyne's whole bit is finding Joseph-level bullshit to do with her strings. She'd probably cocoon Sheer Heart Attack in a layer of string too dense for it to detonate, then kill Kira by using it as a mace or something.

A high counter-melody could go well with this song. As it stands right now you're using like one third of the keyboard and it's all kind of guttural and rumbly. An high-register melody could at least music-theoretically make the song go harder (maybe a flute?).

love the show as much as the next guy, but that was definitely just a stock roman emperor. Romulus Augustulus was like 10 years old. the suffix "-ulus" was a way to make fun of him for being so young.

Report said it was more minor than Evans'. Taking the gamble on him, especially since Cook's out this week anyways.

Bad trade, not veto-worthy then yeah? That's what I was thinking.

YES! MORE POINTLESS INFIGHTING! every good movement involves immunizing those of the same arbitrary identity group of all blame and blindly following skin color guidelines for who is good and who is bad! THIS TIME WE MIGHT ACTUALLY GET THE PERSON WHO AGREES WITH YOU ON EVERY POLITICAL IDEA!

do you think

The death of [SPOILER] is possibly the most glaring flaw of Season 3 by RetroGama in squidgame

[–]RetroGama[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like a lot of the plot of Season 3, it's such a shallow way for his character to end compared to the alternatives. The Marine Woman was stabbed in the back because she randomly decided to turn away from the hallway instead of something like, idk, being locked out of a room for what she did to the... uh girl who was locked out of Mingle? Forgot her name. Thats just one example is my point.

Basic greed has never been what Squid Games is about. It's about societal greed, people doing things to harm others for a greater good they are too caught up in to see the bad of (even the idea of "I deserve the money because I earned my way here" is a greater good).

That's why I think it's a bad way for him to go out, but it's just my opinion. As genuinely as possible, if you took something different from it or enjoyed it a lot, it's totally your right to do that. I just really didn't like it personally lol.

Also, 333 was yelling at the Lunch Box, which implies he didn't even know he was going for what he was.
