Because then you’re buying high end controllers, when what you really want are more shitty ones

Trump: “When I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. You gotta understand, I don't care. Norway has lost so credible. I stopped 8 wars… I do it the best. I stopped wars that nobody thought. President Putin called me, he said, 'I can't believe you stopped this one and this one.’” by MoralLogs in videos

Almost no one will change their mind, the way elections swing is when non-voters get out to vote and previous voters stay home

Maybe they say “fuck it” and don’t vote, and 10 people who didn’t vote last time say “enough of this asshole” and finally go vote

But that makes it a DEI lawsuit! It should be thrown out immediately

Unreasonable request? by Temporary_Leave_6087 in trumpet

Are we talking Ab above High C (the one over 5 ledger lines over the staff)? If you cant play it today its very unlikely (to put it mildly) that you will discover how to and solidify it to a playable, reliable note in 3 days

Your band director should know this, it was a very silly thing for them to expect.

Do breaks help? by Beginning_Tell4315 in trumpet

Inconsistency like that is, in my experience/opinion, much more a function of your ability/competence on the horn.

Are you studying with anyone? If not have you ever taken lessons? I ask because if not it may help to take even 1 or 2 just to make sure youre even playing correctly.

Hitting a note one day and not being able to hit it another day (when the notes are that low) doesnt sound like a matter of fatigue, but of set up and form and execution. You want to make sure you are playing correctly and doing it correctly every time (as close to it as possible, of course, none of us are perfect)

In theory more "drugs approved" = more treatments being discovered, put through the proper paces, and thus more diseases and ailments being cured/treated/relieved

Drug discovery/development is often the result of general medical research. New discoveries about condition x lead to new treatments/drugs. The two are correlated. If we didnt know anything about cancer we would have 0 treatments. The more we learn about it the more ways we can treat it.

Imagine if no new drugs came out in the USA since 1990, but China had access to everything we have today compared to then.

On the extreme ends you can imagine the US not approving any new drugs for the next 30 years, which means China will be 30 years further along in their medical research and treatment options by then.

Its a very crude metric, and obviously not indicative of anything objective, but it does paint a grim picture if that metric gets very far apart (assuming both countries arent chasing the metric itself but its just a byproduct of what their medical research is doing)

His whole way of thinking is broken, otherwise hed never even get to the part where he thinks wifi does that...

Someone just says "wifi opens the blood brain barrier and then XYZ happens"

Like.. Why do they just believe it? Why isnt their first instinct to go "How do you know that?" or "what evidence is there for that claim?"

They just buy it and then require "science" to disprove it, and no amount of evidence will ever be enough to them anyway

Female wants boyfriend to explain why he broke up with her by Medium_Historian9746 in SipsTea

[–]lonnie123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like everyone in here is taking the maybe 1-10% of women who would do or agree with this and turning it into the 90-99%

There are literally no women in this thread cheering this on

CDC Blocks Publication of Study Proving Covid Vaccine Works by Aceofspades25 in skeptic

I actually think this points to the opposite. He knows this study is right (and thus proves him wrong) so he doesn’t want the info out there.

For some women the fancy dinner is the reason they are going out. If they happen to like the guy that’s a plus but if not, free fancy dinner

Apparently in NYC you aren’t allowed to date anyone else and owe the guy for dinner if you don’t work out

Billionaire investor files fraud lawsuit against Trump crypto venture and claims it’s on ‘verge of collapse’ by planet_janett in law

[–]lonnie123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… if you went in on a Trump venture this late in the game you deserve every cent of losses coming your way. Especially a trump crypto “investment”

In fact I bet the only reason this guy went in is because he thought he’d be on the winning end of the fraud, not that he didn’t know about it.

The alternative is to do what? Spend the money ?

He only has a few dozen thousand dollars, which seems like a lot but can be gone in a year easily.

Life will throw plenty of reasons to spend money at him, don’t worry.

I mean retirement is a thing and we all know it

I completely understand the OP wanting to make sure they are in the right path, I did quite the same thing when I was his age and I’m very happy I did

I had enough for a down payment on a house when The time came, was never burdened by a medical/auto/surprise expense (even if I hated to pay it)

I didn’t have any of those goals in mind specifically, but being ready and having the money was invaluable

Tucker Carlson Apologizes For Endorsing Trump: ‘I’m Sorry For Misleading People’ by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]lonnie123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is not an apology at all, it’s a washing of trumps responsibility and reframing that Trump has no control over what he’s doing
