wait, sorry, I'm at the wrong gig...

indeed.

I wouldn't hate on a reboot of Grange Hill because it reminded me of the Thatcher era... ... actually... forget I said that ...

no, yeah, totally :)

or even more; looking over at someone's else's table in the restaurant and saying to them "you shouldn't eat that, i don't like olives"

I think ultimately many of such critiques are also generally "Why isn't this postman pat reboot as much fun as when i was 5? This isn't the gritty reboot we campaigned for, this is dumbed down and focuses too much on the DEI cat and whoever that new woman character is ~ signed A. Grown Man."

There’s a lot to be said for just enjoying something, or not, then trying something else.

It’s like sweeping a metal detector across a beach and concluding that the beach is made of metal.

Of course that's what you'll find – as metal is the only thing the instrument detects.

this post was music to my ears!
then I realised I was reading - so it'd be music to my eyes, but my eyes are deaf... so I'm afraid this message has fallen on deaf eyes.

In the olden days this is the point we'd hear about a Great Wedding to take place between Barron von Troomp and a forgotten exiled daughter of Khamenei.
A bless`ed union of 2 grea.. erm... of 2 houses, where the new queen might guide the Barron about - well, anything, I guess; the sky, how to eat...

It presents nine principles for critical thinking: (1) seek independent evidence, (2) encourage open debate, (3) question authority, (4) consider multiple hypotheses, (5) stay open to changing your mind, (6) quantify where possible, (7) ensure every link in an argument holds, (8) apply Occam’s Razor (prefer simpler explanations), and (9) beware unfalsifiable claims

in my opinion, the best way to learn to make music is to make a lot of it. when i was in high school, once i got fl studio i was making stuff almost every day in it. obviously they all weren't completed tracks and a lot of them sucked, but the best way to start making music is to simply create
