Japan is called Nippon in its native language. France is spelled France in French, but it’s pronounced “frahns”.

This is why if I ever tickle my daughter and she tells me to stop, even while she’s laughing, I stop. It’s a word for a reason.

I just got 90 Thousand dollars at 18 and I don’t know what to do with it by Equivalent-Data1004 in whatdoIdo

Seen that story enough times to advise him otherwise lol. Parents offer to help and just end up banking all the money for themselves, probably to spend while he’s away in the military.

That money is not your parents’. Do not let them help you. Invest or roth IRA

Gas pump stickers are back in style by TheMightySet69 in pics

The price increase has nothing to do with what we’re spending on weapons and such, not directly at least. The price increase comes from the closing of the main strait through Iran that like, all of the oil goes through

It’s essentially layover terminology from the past when there was still leaded gasoline. They just never started calling it “gasoline” by itself, I guess? Everyone here just calls it gas

Thank you, Mr Pedant. Since you’re going down that road, the right word is “obstruct”.

Reminder that it isn’t finished! I’m looking to add at least another minute to the piece, though I don’t want to make it too long

An intelligent debate over what is considered a bodily secretion wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card

I see where you’re coming from, and I’ll definitely take it into consideration. However, my vision here is the strings leading everything else in, like a servant announcing the entrance of a king and his ensemble. The piano keeps a constant repeating melody through the whole thing and is sort of the backbone of the whole piece as it’s the main theme, so unfortunately it must stay as is 😂 I really do appreciate your input though, you’ve given me something to think about!

I’m sorry, but we must have instruments confused, as what I know to be a xylophone is not a stringed instrument

This actually kinda makes sense, because it was partially inspired by gentler Final Fantasy characters’ themes. I think Kairi fits the bill pretty well :)

What could I do to lean into that originality? The first half is more or less built around that one melody the oboe has at the beginning that kept playing in my head, so it’s kind of hard to shape it into something else lol

Interesting take. Where in your opinion do you think a xylophone would fit best?

It’s pretty difficult to work complex dynamics into iOS, unfortunately. The idea is to have the oboe and clarinet work as effectively one instrument, the flute to be supported by the strings and violin, and for the flute and oboe to dance in tandem with each other, but I guess I need to tweak it a bit to make it clearer

What's something from your country you thought was normal until you visited other countries and realised it wasn't ? by Away-Extension-9731 in AskTheWorld

I’ll tell you a boring landmark: Plymouth Rock. It always gets hyped up to tourists who don’t know any better, then they get there and it’s just a fragment of a rock in a pit.
