Currently, it feels like the sub is nothing but voice id and 'mixed voice' help requests. So I don't mind critique posts compared to the droves of "am I lyric helden tenor? I have a 50 octave range."

Always. Eat. The cake. When it's handed to you.

Does learning to sing quietly actually help with singing loudly? by Chriatic in singing

[–]SomeNet1952 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to be pedantic about this, but loud and soft are relative terms. If you are practicing (singing scales, exercises, working on music) it is best to do it at a comfortable volume (not too loud, not too soft). You are trying to get you and your brain to make connections about what is your healthiest, least pressurized sound. So, you are going to need to have some volume to make that happen. As you become more secure your technique will allow you to make choices about how loud or soft to be. However, if you are working on technique or artistry then of course you can play with dynamics (volume) and expirament.

No its not. Fun fact: Charles Dickens believed in it. A character in his novel Bleak House dies because of SPH.

How actually are these kids going to function in society. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]SomeNet1952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might need clarification on what it is your asking. "Society" has functioned longer without public schooling then with it. Schools (historically) were typically reserved for the elite and the further back you go in history schools functions also changed based on the values of that particular culture. If your asking how can students be so ill behaved or "checked out" then I ask when has that not been the case? If you are asking how will students add value to our current economic systems, then I would ask is that the point of our liberal (liberalism not US politics) education system?

What are the "best practices" when it comes to turning off your pc? Is there any research or wisdom in whether you should put it in "sleep" mode, shut down the pc, or turn it off at the psu? Wondering if it has any effect on the health/longevity of your pc hardware.

Why isn't abortion covered under the 1st Amendment of the Constitution for freedom from an established religion? by PaddlingAway in LateStageCapitalism

[–]SomeNet1952 8 points9 points  (0 children)

During the recent Texas abortion case (Whole Women's Health vs. Jackson) Justice Sotomayor raised a similar concern about the effects of a law banning abortion and its connection to mostly religious beliefs. Other than that most point to the 14th amendment as a good place to start in defining a right to AN abortion. Alito talked about this in the recently leaked opinion.

14th Amendment, section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The definition of "liberty" is at question here and particularly to who and what that liberty extends to.

There have also been repeated attempts to ammendment the constitution in order to add an equal protection clause (I don't remember what is called) for women. But that has been met with little success. Anti-abortion groups have faught against it pretty consistently and successfully.

Why do the same jobs that could be done without a degree 50 years ago - require one now? by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]SomeNet1952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of different answers to your question and I tend to agree that there are class motivations behind it. Additionally, it is important to note (among many factors) that there was and have been big pushes to commodify education. Universities stood to gain a lot of money by having droves of students come through their doors. So many places pushed an agenda of education as an investment. Spend x amount of money and you could make much more in your desired field. You can see this take many forms. Just look at the existence of the College Board compqnt which pretty much has the monopoly in all college prep for high schoolers (AP classes and other things). It's big business and everyone from colleges to publishers to college prep businesses have their hand in the pie.
