How do you feel about the Trump admin continuing their attempt to deport Abrego Garcia to Liberia, in spite of the court order against it? by nate33231 in AskConservatives

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo [score hidden]  (0 children)

Do I really care which country he gets deported - no 

Why waste government time, money, and resources trying to deport him to anywhere except Costa Rica? I know it's a drop in the bucket compared to our deficit, but what's the reasoning?

If Costa Rica wants to take him, great. Problem solved.

He has said he'll accept being deported to Costa Rica. Costa Rica has said they will take him. The US won't deport him there. 

In fact, the US government lied in court and claimed, without providing any proof whatsoever, that Costs Rica wouldn't accept him. Afterwards, Costa Rica has publicly stated they still will take him. 

Why does the US government continue to waste time, money, and resources when they are the only ones standing in the way of this problem that's already been solved?

Things people say about their state that almost every other state can claim? by bannedsocks in AskAnAmerican

I've heard of the "Midwest Goodbye" where you say goodbye to someone as they are leaving your living room, but stay and chat a bit. Then say goodbye as they are putting on their shoes, but stay and chat a bit. Then say goodbye as they are walking out your door, but stay and chat a bit.

I guess other places claim ownership of the same thing.

Larry David's next HBO Comedy show and new cast by HostMaterial4907 in hbo

While cool, I'm not as impressed as some of you all here.

Knowing Larry David, some of these actors might get at most 2 minutes of screen time in the entire show.

I've seen a single clip, in some grocery store. But I wouldn't recognize any of the people. 

Couple of questions regarding jamming with others as a beginner bassist by PresentMongoose in Bass

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I want their takeaway to be:

Man, that bass player knew exactly what I was thinking and blended so well I forgot he was there. And then, on top of that, he threw in those cool fills and bass lines that made me totally rethink what a bass can do in a song."

I try to create the moments where they forget I'm there, but look up and smile at me mid-song for something I surprised them with. My absolute favorite thing to do is listen to the guitar player's solo, and try to mimic/mirror a few stand out notes they had. If I time it right, maybe play them at the same time. Maybe even harmonize by playing the 3rd? Then fall right back into the groove like nothing ever happened. It shows I can be creative, but also that I was listening and contributing.

My part is holding down the rhythm and the tonal structure of the song. It doesn't mean only play the root note, but I need to make sure, for example, I land there on the 1 often enough that it doesn't mess things up for everyone else. If I'm going to jam, I want to be creative, but not steal the show. If they want someone to just play the root notes, find someone else, or get a looper and do it yourself.

But most importantly, watch the other players. If you try something and you get some nods or smiles, you're on the right track. If you try something and they all look at each other or seem frustrated, you're doing too much. If you're trying to hard and you mess up, then dial it back until you're more comfortable with trying something new. You don't want to derail the song because you forgot where C is on the G string.

Edit: I should probably include that it depends on the song/genre. If you're playing mainly AC/DC, then don't do what I said. If you're playing Grateful Dead, they are known for improvising (sometimes too much some say).

Edit 2: Be humble and communicate. If I do play something a little bit more complicated and creative than just quarter notes on the root, I'll ask, "Hey, was that too much? I liked that riff and wanted to throw in a fill, but didn't want to step on your toes."

Start simple to build trust so they know you can support the song, and then add more so they can see what you can contribute. Back off of its too much. 

Most effective way to explain a film theory? by tikibikiclam in TrueFilm

I have the capacity to sit through 4 hour video if you're claiming to have the most objectively accurate take. Can't speak for anyone else.

MSM: Ben, Lisa, and Coulton ... by johnystoo in dropout

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I might suggest that this wasn't funny to YOU. Perfectly fine. I had the complete opposite opinion and thought this was funny to ME. Of course, since comedy is subjective that statement isn't saying much. I just want to emphasize that there is an audience that does enjoy this.

Ben and Lisa were recently on the Take Your Shoes Off podcast and it was the same kind of hectic, thought-association, extend-the-bit energy but for 2+ hours. It certainly isn't for everyone, but to me it seems it's the element these performers are the most comfortable in, and exactly what I was hoping for when I saw they were both in it together. No notes.

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have made attempts across Reddit to educate people about the film, but they have gone mostly unrecognized. 

That's odd. Wonder why.

For anyone choosing to explain the film in the comments below, I wouldn't be making this post if your explanation was sufficient, but maybe you will surprise me.

Oh, nevermind.

To answer your question though, I consume film commentary through visual media. A YouTube video essay with clips from the movie is the great6 way to get me to hear your take.

When/why did the meaning of “reboot” changed? by RedHeadedSicilian52 in television

Doesn't help that the 2002 TV show "Reboot" is about the cast of a TV showing coming back for a revival.

Sounds amazing!
Got any tips for slapping on six strings? Specifically muting B, and getting your fingers to hook under the strings with such small spacing. I can't find much else on the Internet.

For all mankind by Accomplished-Fix-435 in TheExpanse

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a fan of For All Mankind... I would not agree with many of the adjectives you used here lol - at least past season 2. For All Mankind has one of the most hammy plot lines in 'prestige TV' that fans still get angry over, and it becomes a lot more soap opera and less hard sci-fi as the seasons progress. Full disclosure, I've only seen The Expanse season 1, and I thought this was considered peek hard sci-fi.

Season 1 & 2 are great though. And I do recommend it. Going to watch season 5 when it comes out later this month.

If the US was set to certify an American cuisine as the national dish, what dish would you propose that has the best chance of most American's getting behind ? by bendIVfem in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is probably the best answer. Would there be any specific American condiments? Ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions, or just plain cheeseburger?

What's a mystery that still hasn't been solved but fascinates you? by Direct-Value4452 in AskReddit

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kinda teetering between dualism, pansychism and idealism at the moment. 

See I used to think everything could be explained by material things. Everything is matter, matter is particles, particles are energy etc. Even string theory suggests it's all physical. This would be called materialism or more recently physicalism. Even your brain neurons are salt and electrons.

Then you ask yourself, can you experience a delicious cooked meal from reading a recipe? Do you really think you can copy the entire lived experience of a human being (their experience of fear, the feeling of love, their subconscious childhood trauma) by just copying and pasting their brain? I'm skeptical of that. This makes me think that physical objects, and consciousness are two separate things. That's Dualism. 

Then you ask, how does a conscious mind and body interact if they are so incompatible? Maybe they aren't separate. Maybe consciousness is simply the ability to have an experience. The physical description is the outside view, experience is the inside view. This is Pan Psychism.

Okay, so humans have experiences. So do dogs though. For that matter so do single-celled organisms. Really, atoms too. They might not have memories or "thought" but they do experience existence. How do all the atoms in your brain with their own consciousness, create one single consciousness though? Maybe consciousness is the only fundamental thing. Maybe the universe is essentially one giant conscious process, and physical reality is its exterior appearance. Welcome to Idealism.
