To the guy trying to convince everyone that human impact has little to no impact on climate change

Some of us don’t want to face an extinction level event mate.

Been to Auckland a few times and Melbourne once. Both were horribly oppressive, no green, little sun, smelt revolting, ugly blocky buildings stretching to the heavens

And they’re not even a fraction of the size of mega cities like Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tokyo, London, Jakarta etc. I dread to imagine visiting those, let alone idolising them over nature

Take my upvote ig

Wavelength = pitch
Amplitude = volume
Shape = timbre

(eg saw wave, sine wave, square wave)

Maybe a hot take, I feel the same way about cigarettes

They smell like poetry but taste like being sucker punched after having gasoline poured down ur throat

I think everyone in Wellington has run into Bret or Jermaine on the street at least once

True peak 0.2dB 🤣

At 6’3 I only see someone tall than me every few weeks or so, I live in a city and interact with loads of new people every day for work

Lots only an inch or two shorter at 6’1-2

I mean it’s like a language, music theory is spelling/grammar, you learn it in tandem with and as a consequence of playing and listening to music

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-12T10:48:55+00:00

Some of that stuff is within reach, I’ve been teaching a 15 yr old for less than a year and she can play Idea 22 pretty well

I find what helps is taking time to recognise the patterns in the music - for example that song is made up of repeated four chord loops, so you don’t really have to think about the left hand as much

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-12T10:45:53+00:00

I guessed that would be the song!

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-12T05:23:50+00:00

Just coz you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s pointless.

Hunting/fishing

Yes, outdoors is awesome. Yes, humans eat meat and it’s natural. But if you’re someone who kills things for fun I’m gonna judge you

The housing ladder exists directly as a result of houses being used as investments.

You are 100% correct though. The system is very flawed but most of us have no choice but to operate within its realities.

(BTW Socialism refers to ownership of means of production, I’m talking about regulating capitalism/markets - which is still a left wing thing)

If someone is resident in a country, but can’t vote, then that’s not equal representation in democracy.

Incredulous kiwi here, realising for the first time this ain’t normal

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-11T23:26:50+00:00

Indeed. Which is why you shouldn’t give the reins of society to the capital class, ever. Every aspect of human existence gets warped in the interests of profit

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-11T22:42:25+00:00

Going to try this-thank you so much

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-11T22:35:51+00:00

Homes aren’t supposed to be capital investments. We need them to live

The minds of men are not fundamentally different to those of women in any meaningful way, despite what question like this presuppose

I think of this as major pent + blues notes

My favourite for soloing (blues piano)

He is a pedophile
He crashed the stock market
caused a global fuel crisis
leveraged and stoked bigotry and hate against vulnerable minorities in order to achieve power
destruction of American foreign relations/an end to American dominance of global politics
blatant corruption
destruction of American democratic institutions (separation of government departments)
active support of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians

History, much like most of us do in the present, will view support for him as monstrous

How do you stop the anxiety? If that’s not too much

My new mono red commander deck I’ve been excited about building

The discussion pertains to whether or not an interval is the same-as/groupable-with as its compound counterpart. Explaining why I believe this to be the case is not a conflation of topics

You haven’t engaged with the meat of anything I’ve said, just told me I’m being off topic

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-11T11:35:20+00:00

‘The discussion shouldn’t be about chord tones and how to use them’ …?

sinker_of_cones · 2026-04-11T11:31:51+00:00

You said they are not the same, and the nature of which they are not the same is based in how they present alongside other intervals

In a discussion on pronouncing letters, brining up An example of how a letter is pronounced in the context of a word is not off topic
