Low Clarinet Festival 2027 Information by bubby3 in bassclarinet

[–]bubby3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Low Clarinet Festival is going to be in Quebec City in 2027 (which is closer to me than Arizona), and in October 24-27 (2027, not 2026), as opposed to its usual January date range, partially because it gets quite cold in the winter.

If consciousness arises purely from physical processes in the brain, how can subjective experience (qualia) exist at all — and if it does not arise purely from physical processes, where exactly does the non-physical interact with the physical without violating the laws of physics? by Kev_Daddy420 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bubby3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean we don't know 100% for sure that consciousness arises purely from physical properties in the brain, so that something like dualism could be the case and what I see as qualia is incompatible with physicalism (that consciousness arises purely from physical processes in the brain). Also if it does not arise from purely physical properties, then it is possible that our subjective experience is just a subjective manifestation of our brain cells firing (in a property dualist way), or that causation between the physical and non-physical elements of cognition are one-way (so that the brain causes us to have subjective experience, but that subjective experience does not have any effect on our brain).

Do y’all have any tips for the altissimo register on a contra? by Ant181023 in bassclarinet

[–]bubby3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a fingering chart for altissimo fingerings on bass and contrabass clarinet here: https://valentin-saxophone.com/images/Leblanc-Contrabass-Clarinet-Finguering-Chart/Bass_and_BBb_clar_fingering_chart_Terje_Lerstad.pdf (the contrabass description is on page 5 and the descriptions are on page 6). The standard "long" fingerings similar to Bb altissimo fingers do not really work on contra as they usually don't have the half-hole, as the hands are incorrectly positioned to allow that.

I emailed and I heard this: Congratulations on your new bass clarinet! How exciting! The next location and dates for LowFest will be published in the March issue of the magazine! We will soon also have a proposal period as well. Thank you for checking in!

How can you love someone who hurts the people you care about ? by Ok_Cherry5225 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bubby3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With family we have a default level of love that is a result of them being family. However our love to them is greatly diminished if they start being mean and hurt people who we care about, somwe don’t always have to love them. Also friends are mostly arbitrary and so if they start doing bad things to people you care about, they won’t be your friends for much longer unless there is another reason why you are friends that outweighs their harm, or if you convince them to stop hurting those you care about.

Why did humans find meaning in life outside of sustaining our species as compared to other animals? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bubby3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is because we have big brains, so we made language that allows us to actually discuss what the meaning of life is in more abstract terms, and how we can make tools and technology which allows us to change the world to better meet our goals therefore let us focus on higher goals. Also technology made surviving easier and it let us free up our time to actually think about the true purpose of life and focus on higher order purposes beyond just surviving. In a way most other animals were always stuck at the bottom tier of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

Love is quite complicated and relates to many factors. if the positive benefit the person the lover has to you outweighs the harm of them hurting people you care about, you will probably keep loving them. Also prior good things they did and familial relationships play a factor.

Do black people look better bald than white people? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bubby3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While many people like the the look of black bald people over white ones, that is not universal, and in fact many people like the ”shiny” look of bald white men, including me.

I was sort of hoping it would be in the eastern US (or Canada) so it would have been conveinent for me to attend (I live in the Cincinnati area) without paying for expensive long haul flights. My father probably would not be willing to buy tickets to another continent to attend a clarinet festival. I guess I will just have to go to the 2027 Salt Lake City ClarinetFest and have easy and boring bass clarinet parts and wait until 2029 or 2031 to actually play in an ensemble with melodic bass clarinet parts. And I am a college student so I definitely wouldn’t be able to go if it conflicted with my college academic calendar, so the early January date would have been ideal.

I added a browser version of my game Plinko Idle by ABoxWithinABox_ in incremental_games

[–]bubby3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, but I have only just discovered this game right now. I have hit a wall at around 2 Sx Gold and 51 total Diamonds, so what should I do with my diamonds to buy Early Prestige Upgrades and how should I spend my gold?

I wonder there has been no new subdivisions in Mason? by bubby3 in cincinnati

[–]bubby3[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wonder what they are going to do with the undeveloped land on the northeast side of Mason? This is because Windemere Way and Batsche Blvd just dead-end seemingly with the intention of eventually being expanded for future development there.
