  lots of extraordinary claims here, but no proof at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t know popcorn. but i believe you will be able to find a major scale for any instrument with only rudimentary searching.

  after that, twinkle twinkle is 1-1-5-5-6-6-5 4-4-3-3-2-2-1 5-5-4-4-3-3-2 5-5-4-4-3-3-2 1-1-5-5-6-6-5 4-4-3-3-2-2-1. sometimes i get fancy and end the last phrase with 2-3-1 instead but if you get comfortable enough with the scale, twinkle twinkle is a breeze.

  then in the hall of the mountain king is a great way to work on precision and speed. and i truly believe if you can do that, you can buckle down and learn anything else.

  i play trumpet, harmonica, ocarina, penny whistle, glockenspiel (and all other mallet percussion), and guitar. i found piano to be daunting, so maybe this advice specifically is not good for that instrument, and diatonic harmonica and penny whistle both lack some notes that might make in the hall of the mountain king difficult. i don’t know. i didn’t actually learn that tune on those instruments.

  but, basically, yes. just do it.

  here are some other standards: when the saints go marching in, and somewhere over the rainbow. that one’s fun because it has both an octave jump in it and a phrase with accidentals.

  what is “bad” about a take that literally references the vegan society?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this is not evidence that the reasoning is anywhere near universally about consent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if that’s true, why isn’t that party of the definition proffered by the vegan society?

  do you have any evidence for this claim?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the term “consent” doesn’t appear anywhere in the definition of veganism, not does the definition allude to the concept

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wendy’s to close hundreds of restaurants as struggling customers cut back on dining out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism is one method of dealing with those limited means. Central planning is another method. Both are attempts to solve the same basic coordination problem. One distributes decisions through prices. The other concentrates decisions in administrative structures. Neither one abolishes scarcity. They only differ in how they respond to it.

  but this is a false dichotomy. first, because capitalism requires government (centralization), and there are other options besides central planning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wendy’s to close hundreds of restaurants as struggling customers cut back on dining out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Showing that scarcity is universal rather than human-created is not a tangent

  it is since it has nothing to do with what we are discussing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wendy’s to close hundreds of restaurants as struggling customers cut back on dining out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The purpose of any economic system is to allocate scarce resources among humans who have effectively unlimited desires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wendy’s to close hundreds of restaurants as struggling customers cut back on dining out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the alternatives are all forms of central planning

  this is a lie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wendy’s to close hundreds of restaurants as struggling customers cut back on dining out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
