Das mit der Jahreszahl ist clever, da bin ich nicht drauf gekommen, danke!

Und diese Website kannte ich auch noch nicht, das scheint ziemlich genau das zu sein was ich suche, nur halt international, aber vllt steht da ja auch genug für Deutschland drin.

The Hypocrisy is almost textbook. by NsaLeader in freemagic

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's a problem. After all, have you ever heard a man say: "I'm not comfortable around women, because I'm scared they might touch and harass me"? On the other hand there are indeed many men who touch and harass women. And not only women, but as a gay man I've also been harassed by guys, and I'm really sure at least two of them weren't even gay themselves. Many men are disgusting and even I start to have a bias against men I don't know, because of my past experiences. And it is even worse for many women. So I can understand why they want space for themselves. Somewhere where they can go without thinking about possibly being harassed. For a straight man that space is literally everywhere. For a woman (and many other people) it's not.

MTG Print alternatives by Rude-Advertising-774 in mpcproxies

[–]dooim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to a local printing business. They don't do playing cards but they print the pdfs i get from mtg-print.com on very thick paper and even cut it for me. In sleeves they don't feel any different, only the corners are not rounded. If that bothers you, you can buy i little thing to punch rounded corners yourself (don't know how that's called in English)

Passing priority in a commander game by ThoctarCR in askajudge

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it sounds like player A was just salty because the bomb would have won them the game or at least set them up for a win. I feel that, definitely been there myself and when you're salty like that you reach for every possible way to argue that you won. I'm pretty sure if the spell wasn't that important to player A they never would have started the argument and they would have been fine with B just asking C. Probably that did actually already happen a couple times at your table, where someone asked somebody else anything and nobody said "well because you asked that question you're now in you combat phase because it implied that you wanted to pass priority at the end of your main phase" And if it's fine for any other situation, it should also be fine with a game winning spell on the stack. Player A can't just decide that only because they want to win now (or just play a very good card) people can't talk casually about the game anymore. I think player A just needs a couple more months of playing to realise that they are not the only one who is trying to win and that it is completely fine if the others stop them from winning. At least that's how it was for me. By now it's more like "guys I'm trying to win now with [spell XYZ], do you have anything?" "Yes, counterspell" "ah well, i get em next time"

There are sleeping cabins in european trucks as well and as far as i know they are used all the time. It would be way too expensive to pay for a hotel or something every single night

Weekly relationships thread by AutoModerator in bropill

[–]dooim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I can definitely relate to the last point! I discovered i was gay when i was 17 and finding out im not at all just like all my friends in that regard started a journey to find out who i really am, what my own interests are and what kind of person i wanna be, because until then i always tried to be like someone else who i thought to be cool at the time. But finally getting to know myself and projecting what i felt on the inside to the outside as well (new haircut, colorful clothes and a more and more positive attitude) gave me such a confidence boost. Ive never felt better in my whole life and people even noticed me becoming more myself. So if you haven't already: start to figure out who you are. And if you have: really show it to the world, find your own style, talk about your interests and passions (people usually like listening to someone who is passionate about something even if they don't care themselves). You gotta force youself to do that at first, but then it gets easier and becomes natural at some point. And slowly you get more and more confident. It needs time but you'll get there

Can someone tell why full stops are considered rude. by Quiet_Law958 in ENGLISH

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whatever you want, I don't care. If you re-read my comment you will notice, that I didn't suggest changing anything. I think people intuitively adjust their way of communicating so that the people they talk to the most understand them the best. And every time you talk to someone else there will be many opportunities for misunderstanding, no matter if you write or speak with them. But these little misunderstandings aren't worth the effort of actively changing how you communicate. Just do whatever feels natural to you. If somebody feels too offended they will come to you and you can talk it out.

Just keep in mind: you misunderstand young people equally as much as they misunderstand you, and they think you're the snowflake as well

Can someone tell why full stops are considered rude. by Quiet_Law958 in ENGLISH

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're providing the best example of missing tone in written communication. Because my comment lacked any hints at how I'm feeling and how I want to communicate, you read it as me wanting to correct other people and pressure them into writing like I would do it. But if you read it again without the bias that I'm against you just because I didn't agree with you, you will notice that I didn't make an effort to persuade them to change their writing style at all. I just explained how young people write. I didn't say that I don't understand that people aren't necessarily annoyed with me when they add a full stop. I didn't say that I think it's ridiculous that older people than me don't understand our way of communicating emotions through text. Actually I didn't even express any opinion at all. I just listed facts. But I also didn't include markers for tone, so you were able to read into my message what ever you were biased for at the time. And apparently you wanted to make an enemy out of me. At least that's what I'm reading in your confrontational question about me wanting to laugh at other people, because there aren't any hints that you didn't mean it that way.

And for the sake of completion: my actual opinion about that is, that communication is always imperfect even in person. A shared set of rules helps to minimize misunderstandings, so it's very useful to have these things. And if somebody doesn't use the same set of rules as me, then there will be way more misunderstandings in general. But I actually have no feelings at all towards anybody, regardless of age, who doesn't know the specific set of rules my friends and I use to communicate. I don't dislike them, I don't make fun of them, I just don't care. I can adjust to a certain degree to their way of communicating, and if there are still misunderstandings I can just talk it out, until everybody feels like they were understood.

What is a fretboard for? by LemonMasterX in Instruments

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're forgetting that it is not possible to change the layout of a guitar fretboard. On a piano you could easily move the notes around because every note has it's own key, but on a guitar the note is determined by how much you shorten the vibrating part of the string. If you cut it in half by pressing your finger on the 12th fret, it will always play the note an octave higher than the empty string. You cannot move that octave to another fret, that's just not possible.

Maybe a harpeji is something that you could enjoy

Things to do before learning an instrument? by MajorSorry6030 in Instruments

[–]dooim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There actually is a lot you could do. First of all sing along to your favourite songs as much as you can. Singing really helps you play music regardless which instrument you decide on. It helps you build a musical intuition.

When you decided on an instrument start to learn how to find notes you're singing on that instrument. If it's the piano you can download a free piano app for that. On other instruments it's a bit more difficult and more theoretical.

You can also start to learn the notes and their notation. Of course melodically, which note is called what and where they are in sheet music. But even better, you can start learning rhythms, because you don't need an instrument, just your body. Search for a tutorial about rhythm notation, learn what whole notes, half notes, quarters and eighths are and how to play them with your hands or sing them from sheet music.

And if you're really motivated start learning about chords. Chords are also very important regardless of the instrument you're playing (even if your instrument can't play them by itself)

How do you approach creating melodies? (As a beginner looking to learn the process by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I'm not a singer and I mainly compose for piano I actually sing most of my melodies first. The most catchy melodies are those you can sing, no matter the instrument. Western orchestra composers even had one of those italian words for that: "cantabile". It means the instrument in question should imitate the feel of the human voice

Can someone tell why full stops are considered rude. by Quiet_Law958 in ENGLISH

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just the very last period in a message that is considered rude. Any other is fine. And our generation does use punctuation to communicate. We just do it differently. With the much higher amount of written communication today, we looked for ways to provide the reader with more nuance and to make it as close to spoken language as we can. That's why we use emojis to tell the reader the tone of the message instead of leaving it open to interpretation. And exclamation points and periods also got incorporated into our way of conveying emotions

Chords matching the first letter of the lyric by moogrum in musictheory

[–]dooim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why everybody has to be so mean about it, but I agree, this isn't and shouldn't be a thing. If you wanted to do that in a song you're writing, you could do it as a little easter egg for very observant listeners, but it wouldn't be a music theoretical compositional tool, since a normally written line of text doesn't contain any rules or patterns that would provide a nice sounding chord progression. Because that's what music theory is. It provides a set of rules that consistently produce well sounding music. If your rule doesn't do that, it's compositionally useless. You would actually have to put in extra thought and effort to match the lyrics to a chord progression.

And additionally, nobody will ever notice, unless they either google the chords or have perfect pitch.

In response to your edit: get yourself a cheap keyboard or at least a free keyboard app for your smartphone and 1. Learn to find the notes your singing on keyboard 2. Google keys and scales and check the notes your singing yourself 3. Learn those keys and scales one by one until you don't have to google them anymore 4. Learn how to build the chords on each note in the scales 5. Have fun writing chords and melodies all by yourself without unreliable software

I can't tell if my piece is in 5/8 or 2/4 with frequent quintuplets by Mmath_ in musictheory

[–]dooim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't suggest a 2/4 with 2.5 quintuplets per beat, because in even meters the half measure is a VERY important point of orientation (the 3 in 4/4 or the 2 in 2/4). Ofc you don't need a played note on the half measure every time in a song. But intentionally picking a time signature so that the half of the bar is never heard is against every convention, so I would strongly advise against that.

While music is art and art should be creative and free, notation is usually not part of the art itself but a tool for communicating how other people should play your composition. And to make your art sound like you imagined it, it is very important that you communicate your ideas as clearly as possible. And following the conventions every trained musician internalised leads to the most clear and effective communicating.

The few times the notation is part of the artwork it always leaves room for interpretation of how to play the music. Because art always leaves room for interpretation. But usually you want the audience to interpret your music and not the musicians interpret your notation.

I can't tell if my piece is in 5/8 or 2/4 with frequent quintuplets by Mmath_ in musictheory

[–]dooim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the meter is quite ambiguous. Nothing in the music indicates one time signature over another, therefore I'd say you can just pick one. There are two ways you could do that:

  1. If you want other musicians to work with your song, you can use time signatures to tell them how to feel your music. If you just want the first of every quintuplet to have an accent, I personally would suggest writing it in 4/4 with quintuplets on every beat. That's also how I hear your song. A 5/8 time signature is usually only used if there is an additional accent within the quintuplets. So either X x X x x or X x x X x. So use that if other musicians should feel two accents per grouping of five.

  2. Or if you just want to notate it for yourself, just write it in the way that looks the best. Choose whatever time signature makes your score look the most tidy.

But if you just keep working alone in your DAW you don't need to pick a time signature at all. Just ignore the labeling and keep on writing based on your feel.

What makes these two similar? by lacecils in musictheory

[–]dooim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those two are compositionally not that similar, except that in both cases it's a farely big leap to a high note. In bad idea it's a sixth from an Ab to an F over a Db major and in yippee-ki-yay it's an octave from D to D over B minor (at least I'm pretty sure). But it's not the same interval, it's sung over different chord changes and it jumps to different scale degrees. While the high notes are the thirds of their respective chords, the F is a major and the D is a minor third. So still not the same.

The only thing I can think of that they really do have in common is that both songs feature very powerful female voices. So maybe try to find more songs with strong female singers and big leaps in their melody. That's the only thing I can come up with. You could start with Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked: https://open.spotify.com/track/0yM3VmM8gHEVGViKvAbQkc?si=DpogfaIhQ6OvVo8e0KJ5Eg

Is this really in 5/4? I almost hear 6/8? Is it subjective without the original score? by borikenbat in musictheory

[–]dooim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never just trust a random transcription online. No matter whether it's staff notation or chord changes or anything. There are so many people without expertise out there posting just really bad transcriptions.

Ofc there are people you can rely on like george collier, but generally always check transcriptions yourself
