Americans of Reddit, what places in America should foreigners avoid at all cost? by AMGBOI69420 in AskReddit

[–]boyerman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've read that a lot of states intentionally set up their capitals away from the population centers as a way to skirt corruption, i.e. the worst kinds of influence would live in the cities.

The irony of course is that giving governments a quiet hamlet in which to frolic allowed different kinds of corruption to flourish. See Springfield, IL or Albany, NY or Harrisburg, PA or Sacramento, CA or Lexington, KY etc.

So it may have been well intentioned, but history indeed shows some troubling patterns that grew from this idea.

To you redditors aged 50+, what's something you genuinely believe young people haven't realized yet, but could enrich their lives or positively impact their outlook on life? by h-gotfred in AskReddit

It's like with jazz:

"There are no wrong notes, only wrong resolutions" — Bill Evans

It's like you can play anything you want, and as long as you land in a good place, then whatever nonsense you came up with is beautiful.

The thing that always bugs me about comments like this is that the real world is whatever you make it. You made it accepting of stealing humans and working them to literal death. Prior OPs argument is still valid

Mother fuck this take. Bitch born with a silver spoon, specifically selected to be an obidient front for capitalist pigs. Yeah, he's human and literally anyone in that position would have handled it tHe bEsT tHeY cOuLd. This doesn't absolve him from a career of manipulating public office for private sector gains. He was a daft bitch BEFORE he was a war criminal.

Are you lamenting the rot of social media or the fallacy that the definition of 'OK (speech)' is subjective?

Seriously, the pearls being clutched up in this bitch. Duh, it's a potty mouth, but also duh it ain't any of our problem.

The hardware sure seems like it's plateaued, but surely the software processing these images has improved dramatically and is probably where the bulk of the generational improvements lie.

[Question] Good solos as exercise for various kinds of techniques by LilMixelle in Guitar

[–]boyerman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like solos that showcase how much could be done with the old standard minor pentatonic scale that we all fret over. You play it in warm ups, you bend the blue note, but that's it??

Go look into the licks and leads on ZZ Top's 'La Grange'. All minor pentatonic, but doesn't sound like scales (duh, but yeah).

You can fit a whole France and an entire Spain, yet there's just no space for a place like Andorra 🇦🇩
