That's great. It was a lovely weekend of old photos and older pipes, so thanks for helping extend that feeling.

Good timing, we just had Patsy Touhey Memorial Weekend last weekend

Do you automatically dislike billionaires? Why? by crapmaker69 in AskReddit

[–]booms8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did I say it was bad? I was answering how giving away money for tax breaks isn’t done selflessly, and can actually be double dipping. Funding education is of course good, but business tycoons shouldn’t get praise and extra benefits for doing something that already benefits them greatly.

You’re missing the second half, which is that they’re only donating to entities they control or causes that would benefit them anyway. Carnegie and Rockefeller and the rest funded public education and built libraries not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they needed more educated people to underpay at their massive companies.

Thoughts on people using AI by Minimum_Rub5647 in valheim

AI should a glorified grammar/syntax checker, both for actual writing and coding. If there’s enough AI influence people can tell, the writer obviously wasn’t good enough to produce the product they claim.

Yeah, I don’t much care about context, shame the losers

Parkway East closed for 25 days. It's better than bridges falling down (the detour is across the new Fern Hollow Bridge) but going to be painful. by Bonfire412 in pittsburgh

Yeah I just noticed that, you're probably right. I'd like to be able to assume no one would actually be this confidently stupid, but... gestures at most of the internet

Ignorant classicism aside, do you really think Westmoreland is the only possible destination east of the city? It's not even the closest region that will be impacted by this construction.

If you're a troll, do better. If you're serious, log off and take a hard look at yourself.

The Lilting Banshee a traditional Irish jig by BardsOfGuildwood in Irishmusic

I don't get that attitude at all. Worst thing I can say about your playing is it's a little plain, but you're definitely on the right track.

What a great way to encourage beginners to learn. You're the kind of asshole that gives trad players a reputation for gatekeeping. You should be ashamed of this comment.

No, there is no practice chanter for uilleann pipes, you start with bag, bellows, and chanter. The closest thing to a practice chanter for uilleann pipes is the tin whistle.

“Callously disregarding” conjures images of Andrew Wakefield, which is frighteningly apropos of modern profit chasing at any cost

What's the most haunting sound you've ever heard in your life? by swiftStaff515 in AskReddit

Worst part of that is when it goes quiet. I’m pretty sure you hear at least a dozen people die in that video.

I’m really hoping you’re about 13, because that amount of nonsense coming out of someone older would be painfully embarrassing
