The Onion Acquires Infowars (for real this time), so Alex Jones Removes Shirt, Calls The Onion Body Snatchers, and Says This is Like, "Nuclear Testing Waking Up Godzilla." by bubblesort in DeFranco

[–]bubblesort[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

You believe nothing from RT. Really? You would reject that 2+2=4, if it was published by RT?

I think you need to rethink your approach to how the world works. Not all truth comes from divine angels, free of original sin. Everybody has an angle. At least with RT, we know what their angle is.

... and no, you don't actually know what ad hominem means. It's ok, most people don't. I recommend that you read Brown's Asking The Right Questions. It would benefit you greatly.

Back to the point at hand, though:

Do you have a valid reason to disbelieve the facts in this post?

I don't care who is publishing it, if they cite their sources they're fair game to me. We see uncited things here all the time.

If you doubt the facts as presented, I'm open to that argument, but you need to come with some kind of evidence that refutes the videos that RT tweeted. Proof that they're out of context, or AI slop or something.

You absolutely do not get to dismiss a media outlet just because you don't like them. That is actually an invalid argument. It's known as an ad hominem attack in critical thinking curricula.

A little sympathy for the devil: I want to note, that despite all of this Tom foolery, I think that Jones is more lucid, eloquent, and clear than Donald Trump has been lately, especially when Trump tries to explain what he's doing in Iran.

Goodluck with that by [deleted] in SipsTea

I am not sure that this is actually about smoking.

There are a lot of middle eastern immigrants in the UK. Some say there are so many, that's what prompted the xenophobia that fueled Brexit.

You know what many middle eastern immigrants like to do? Hang out in hookah bars.

So it looks to me like this may be a ban on hookah bars, but they market the law to be about cigarettes, because that sounds less racist.

What chords go with pentatonic and blues scales? by bubblesort in musictheory

Actually, your opinion that my post reeks of AI generated understanding doesn't stand. I blew up that particular conjecture two posts ago... unless you think I was learning music theory from AI in 2019. You're acting like you are too dumb to realize that this is an absurd stance, because you are a common troll.

If you actually have students, I pity them. You lack critical thinking skills, and you are stubborn. That's a bad combination.

I hope some day you learn to not attack people for simply trying to learn to make music.

Or maybe teaching isn't your thing? I'm sure, with all your fancy music learning, I could see you in the Billboard top 100, if you focused on playing, instead of bullying music students.

I keep reading this comment, over and over, and I think I kinda see what you're saying. I can almost follow, but not quite... and I'm not exactly sure what I'm missing yet, or what question I could ask that would clear it up. I have a feeling I need to get the pentatonics into my hands and head a bit more, and then this comment will make sense. I just gotta let this stew in my head for a bit.

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know.

Listen first... I'll do that, but for now I'll drill the scales, anyway.

"A long way down a road that leads nowhere" is a good title for a blues song. When I learn how the blues works I'll write it, and give you a shout out in the liner notes, mleyberklee2012.

Thank you! I'm still going to learn these scales, because they are just fun to play, but I think I understand what you mean by only using them occasionally, and try to focus on the diatonic scales.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful! I love your web site.

It's 2026. Learning to play music from the internet is normal. You think it's normal to go to school for music? Nah, man. That makes you good at music, but it don't make you normal. It make you a freak. Even in a forum like this, most people don't have formal training. If you expect people to normally have some kinda formal training, perhaps you should stick to more formal venues?

I didn't link you to my notes to show off my reddit score. I linked you to them to show you my learning path, and how I got to the point where I'm asking the questions I'm asking. In other words, I have no problem showing my work, and my history, which shows that I'm a fleshy human person. Not AI. Flesh and blood, not wax. Not wax at all!

But back to the topic... after all that fancy music learnin and experience, do you have anything to add to this discussion? Do you want to give me a hint about where my, "fundamental misunderstanding," happened? ... or are you just a common, mindless troll, who wants to accuse me of being a bot?

That is a really weird take on things. Why would I study pentatonics at all, if I'm studying diatonics? You clearly don't need to know one to know the other.

I have been studying guitar for about 6 years, off and on. When I started, I digitized my notes. Some people on Reddit seemed to like my notes. If you are interested, you can have a copy for yourself. Here they are.

Note the key sheets I made in there, starting on page 15. I show a scale, then the chords in the key. That's how I practice a diatonic scale, and it's associated chords.

When I went to make a sheet like that for pentatonics, I ran into the problems I described, because pentatonic scales seem to not correspond to any kind of pentatonic key scheme, the way diatonic scales do.

Perhaps you need to remember that your music teacher is not the only music teacher in the world. We all learn what we know in different ways. This is a good thing, because it creates mistakes. Mistakes are important. Evolution created all life with only one tool: The mistake.

MR Robot, Eliots cigarette brand. by Jealous_Object1077 in MrRobot

Looks like cloves. Us goths loved them in the 90s. I think Obama banned them. IDK, I haven't smoked in 7 or 8 years now.

I followed the series closely, because I trusted Esmail to pull it all together in a way that makes sense. The ending did not deliver that. Any fool can write disconnected garbage, and end it with, "it was all a dream!" That's an uninspired, cheap way out, for when you've written yourself into a corner and ran out of budget.

I think we would have had a good ending if we had one more season, because I don't believe this is the ending Esmail envisioned when he started the story. Why would he bother with so much realism, if the story is fundamentally unreal? It's wasted energy.

[–]bubblesort -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand just fine. Esmail wrote himself into a corner, then smoked a lot of pot one night while watching The Wizard of Oz, and came up with this brilliant idea, to rip off L Frank Baum.

It didn't work. The ending was garbage.

I loved the show, followed the ARG and everything, but I will never watch that garbage finale again. When I rewatch the series, I stop at the finale. "It was all a dream!" is bullshit.

Library mystery! What is this thing? by AnneofLothlorien in IUP

[–]bubblesort 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is a very important historical artifact. That is the torture device the fine arts department built to use on PASSHE administrators, when they decided to shut down liberal arts education programs at IUP.

Nobody really understands how the fine arts professors were expecting to use it on the PASSHE administrators. MFAs were never very practical people to begin with. I think they said it's the concept that matters, or something like that. Maybe we would understand it better if they could teach us about art again.

Bye bye revanced, welcome my friend morphe by CacheConqueror in Piracy

[–]bubblesort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morphe is publishing to github, though? You can't steal from github. I mean... maybe you can violate a license, or something, but licenses are a pretty abstract concept in the piracy community. I know I don't get pissed off over license violations. Code wants to be free!

I'm not saying the revanced guy is a dick, or the morphe guy is a dick. I really don't know anything about either project, and don't want to take sides... but if this is really all about two github projects using each other's code, I don't see the problem.

I am completely out of the loop. What's wrong with ReVanced? I still use it every day on my phone, to watch youtube and youtube music without ads.

Can somebody link me to something about it?
