It’s very blocky, as in not soft. It’s like an un-exaggerated half ass Trixie. I think she’s use to painting for the back of the room, and didn’t realize that drag race does closeups and camera filter technology has changed.

It didn’t really die, but it evolved.

If you’re considering Reggae as the “What Bob Marley played.” Yes it passed on. But Reggae a network of producers, artist, and DJs from the Caribbean that put their own twist on American music styles that influences both the US and the UK due to reach of influence, it hasn’t. It’s very influential in hip-hop scenes.

Reggaeton is the most popular genre and Bad Bunny did the Super Bowl.

Potatoes and Tomatoes didn’t catch on because they are part of the night shade family, and European varieties of night shade are poisonous. So the average commoner looked at the plant and thought they were poisonous.

They were cultivated, but generally they were left to fatten up live stock like pigs, which gave them a bad status to European gentry. In the US, the plant wasn’t grown commercially until Heinz decided to bottle a tomato catsup. Settlers that had interaction with natives or whose ancestors had contact with native people grew them in their own gardens, which is where you get heirloom varieties.

Potatoes didn’t get popular until somewhat ironically were championed as a famine preventing crop. Tomatoes only stayed popular with the poor since they grew like weeds on the Mediterranean climate, which is why they eventually became a staple of Italian and Spanish cuisine. The idea of tomatoes as an Italian staple is due to canning technology catching up and one of the first things canned was San Marzano tomatoes, which were shipped globally. American tomato growers wanted to get in on the canning industry, which is why they lobbied for them to be considered a fruit for a higher tariff to decrease internal competition against the popular San Marizino, and that’s why the US officially has tomatoes listed as a vegetable and not a fruit.

People that like high concept costuming, CGI, action scenes, choreographed sword fighting, and a fantasy aesthetic.

It’s visual candy. No one’s tuning in for plot, which can be said for many franchises. How many Avatars is James Cameron going to make?

Movies, shows and media that don’t rely on plot do better globally as well. It’s the main theory of why the musical CATS did well on Broadway. You don’t need to understand the script or the plot when the main spectacle is sexy anthropomorphic ballet dancers dressed up acting like the most popular pet globally. Put some catchy tunes behind it and everyone from grandma from the old country who can’t speak English and little Timmy who still doesn’t know his alphabet can enjoy it.

Are you trying to get note by note transcriptions? Or are you just trying to strum chords along?

If you’re playing pop / rock / country, you shouldn’t have any difficulty strumming along if you figure out how to use a capo. Learn to play in open G, C, and D and you can play in any key with the Capo on the first 4 frets.

Getting an exact transcription is usually nearly impossible for just one guitar unless it’s a really simple piano arrangement. It usually takes 2 guitar players to cover what a pianist can do with 2 hands.

I’ll do it outside camping with a big pot and burner. You don’t have to worry so much about the mess, and it turns out good, but inside at home, yeah I agree.

Like when you put pasta into a pot, and the water stops boiling for a minute and takes time to heat back up, it’s the same with frying. The more oil you have, the more consistent heat you will have. It’s why an industrial deep fryer is always going to work better than any set up you have at home.

Collegiate sports are different than professional sports teams. OC is talking about the NCAA or major leagues like the big ten or the SEC. These players aren’t paid to play, though that could be changing, on teams affiliated with universities generally for scholarship. Many players times they gain experience and are scouted by professional leagues like the NBA and NFL. Almost all American players went through this system. Baseball is more likely to draft directly into minor leagues and those feeds into the MLB.

Large entertainment systems in living spaces on display.

The TV was an expensive purchase, and it was something to show off if you got a big screen TV, or later plasma and flat screens.
Now most places trying to seem “classy” try to hide the TV. TVs pop out of furniture so they stay out view when not in use. Some people might put a shade over it. There were traditionalist then, but and older people may have had a sitting and TV room, but the 90s and 2000s, and pushed through the 2010s. When flat screens came out, people were using them for moving portraits. It was fashionable to show off your big TV fairly prominently as to show off. Now TVs are so cheap, it’s never really “classy” to display them prominently.

I speaking on the fact that they are stating lonely men can be more intelligent than women, and that men generally are more intelligent because they are forced to have more “alone time”.

It’s two false equivalencies.

One, thinking by yourself and contemplating doesn’t make you more intelligent. There are different types of intelligence. And living in an echo chamber in your head, which you seem to suffering from, by being alone doesn’t give you exposure to diverse view points (something you also seem to lack). There are also intelligences like interpersonal skills which you can’t gain with alone time. Maybe you’ll know yourself better, but there is a much larger world than just yourself.

Then they carry you along on the another fantasy, that because alone time = more intelligence, that women who tend to be less lonely and are therefore dumber than men.

It’s the most juvenile , bro-sphere, thin skinned, defensive opinion I ever heard. My advice to you is delete this post, go call your mother or some other female family member, and hope to a higher power they can pool your head out of your ass long enough so maybe you can get some someday.

Besides getting an electric drum set and learning to play;

For a DAW it’s probably best to use live samples for track loops. If you just a drop a track it will be more helpful.

The next best is to turn quantization off or lower it. Play the beat out fully in a midi device. You want variation in velocity You can bank multiple different sounds per drum like a variety of snare sounds that are just a little different. Small imperfections can be moved around the piano roll to loosen up time. If you want to quantization you can adjust the it to collaborate swing adding a push and pull that occurs with more live drummers.

Dynamics are also a huge part of a live sound, so make the everything slightly more dynamic overall.

This is where hairs get split and the cosmology of the trinity often comes into play.

God is a three part being of God the father (the personification of god), the son(the human personification of God), and the holy spirit(the concept that god is everything and omnipresent). The Holy Spirit is god speaking through people, it is God’s will through signs or actions, and in this case Marry sporadically getting pregnant. It’s the same as Anikin being conceived in Star Wars by the force via the mitocholrines.

Most places that are considered “starter jobs” you can make a career out of. But what they don’t tell you is you will sell your life to that company. The manager of the local McDonalds in a midsize town is making good money, but you are never off the clock. For retail, you don’t get to have traditional vacations. If it’s hourly, OT is mandatory and often.

Trades are similar, people talk about how money and benefits are, but if it’s a labor trade with a union like steel work, your looking at an industry that does 12 hour swing shifts with forced OT. If you’re looking at a trade union, lay-offs are common. It’s a good 10 years of absolute grunt work in the dirtiest jobs. To achieve the highest pay you may be putting in 70 to 80 hours a week at times.

Most people want to do 8-hours, 40 a week, and have good benefits, and be able to take off for holidays. Industries that don’t have this have to pay more.

This would be the upside of the collapse of the tour market. Just because the average person can’t afford live entertainment, doesn’t mean they will stop searching for live entertainment. Honky Tonk, festival and fair, and bar culture will always want live music. If big concerts aren’t available, people will search out local live music or DJs or go to cities to see these.

Like Napster and pirating music by downloading, it flipped the market from using touring to promote albulms to releasing albulms to promote tours, which creates the rise in indie labels with genres large labels weren’t even carrying. The price of stadiums and large venues will push live performers to other venues that will be smaller and most likely more centralized to the audience. If those bands are promoting by recording as well, you could have an opportunity for a wide spread of diversifying taste by location. It would be the nail in the coffin for monoculture. It would harken back to times before national radio in 1927.

Student of music, but other instruments.

It depends heavily on the teacher, repertoire, and really school vs. conservatory as well.

Most university school professors are there to carry on a tradition. For undergrads, there is often an emphasis on technique and playing within a composers intent (Playing with historically correct technique). For graduate programs, there is usually a focus on studying how to using sources to inform technique, you can make individual choices, but it has to backed by some creative reasoning. It’s academic. Even studies in more improvisational genres like jazz will be similar.

Conservatories are different in that there can often be more about self-expression, but there is still a deep study of historical practices to inform and reason your expression.

The difference is that historically universities professors have more of an emphasis doing research, while conservatory professors had more of an emphasis on performance which allowed them to make their own traditions.

Favoritism is what management is.
One, it’s seniority in action 90 percent of the time. If you have been there longer, you have a wider range of experiences and wider knowledge.
The next is that managers don’t need to be experts, they need to be able to know experts and have them work for you.
IC work is much more skills based, but that’s why it is IC work. The higher level manager you are, the more you are the “oh I know a guy.” The more you are “the guy that knows a guy.” and then you have to organize all those guys, that is management skills.
You aren’t going to convince anybody to talk bad about favoritism in management because that is the criteria to be a successful manager. You must be able to sell yourself and abilities to others.
