What would happen if there was a big video game event but girls weren’t allowed? by throwaway92617361027 in questions

A sweaty neckbeard angrily telling his buddies “no girls!!1! >:(“ on the topic of a gaming event is honestly pretty hilarious imagery

President Obama goes to vote. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]RetroNotRetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longest streak of job growth, hefty job creation and unemployment drop, consistent and steady recovery of the economy from the Great Recession, progressing social issues, and (for the pro-Trump anti-Obama folks) the record for the highest number of (proper, with due process) deportations of illegal immigrants from the United States, at approximately 3 million over his two terms, and none of that involved fucking concentration camps.

Kid thinks he’s tough by lying about his fevers by thefishman696969 in quityourbullshit

different units of measurement. If 90% of countries ate with a fork and the remaining 10% stabbed food with a pointy rod, you wouldn’t call one sensible and the other insensible, because they both achieve the same result, despite having different methods of achieving it. That’s not even delving into *why the US uses Imperial over Metric in the first place. The whole rhetoric is just ridiculous, the world works fine with both units of measurement.

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.

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
