cease your investigations.

i will not further discuss my bookshelf or any other interior item of mine without an attorney.
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 5 days ago:
they do not provide proof. why should you? he could as well argue my bookshelf didn’t exist, since none of you have seen it yourself. but is this a discussion worth having?
also: the underlying idea, that modern tech could do better whatever a human has done without it, is just naïve. we do not build much rounded shapes in windows and stuff anymore bc our machines work best and most efficient for straight cuts if we want to make use of their power we have to build a certain way.

i was just thinking about simple melodies, that people know, and remember. probably popcorn (yt link) isn’t in the canon of music schools?
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
ty for your insights in all of this. i really is that i started playing around with DAWs but i didn’t know ‘what to say’ through those. i hope to speak a little music myself to fix that. ;) i will have a look at tgat specific ukulele :))
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
yeah i played around with reason years ago, that’s around the time i started keys. you are right, that’s exactly my cup of tea. but i always felt i was lacking an intuition. as if i had only learned to write latin but never actually spoken conversationally. i guess that’s why i feel i need to actually do music with my body.
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
ty! imight as well have a look and decide by what classes are available in my area.
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
i could grab my flatmates guitar. i am somehow intimidated by that thing. but yeah maybe …
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
just do it? true. you forgot to say popcorn tho. ;)
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
i’ll see what i can do. :)
- Comment on learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what? 2 weeks ago:
thx a lot, for pointingout these ressources!
as for the why: i just realised that i really do view music as a kind of language, something that can be written down, realised acoustically and (with practice) be understood. that might be a big misconception. but my primary driver is to get a better understanding of what’s happening in music in general. just like speaking helps in learning a language, i thought, imitating music should help to learn music. that’s maybe why i don’t really care for the specific instrument … it’s rather instrumental.
i wouldn’t play with others, or for others. there’s not even a style i’d prefer, its just the basic understanding outside of a vague emotional reaction. i can’t tell the difference between a chord and a single note. in many cases not even what note is higher. and i feel like that’s failure? or at least a shame.
maybe i need some elementary school level lessons.

- Comment on How come in movies tv shows books etc at court they make it seem like swearing on the bible prevents you from lieing? If my family or I was in danger I would lie my ass off to get out of it.. 3 weeks ago:
it is a real threat.
there are different tiers of punishment for lies. if you swore to tell the truth, but demonstrably lied, this will f up your life further.
- Comment on If you had native-level fluency in a language, and don't talk in that language for a while, can you develop an accent later-on when trying to talk in that language again? 4 weeks ago:
i wanted to point you to a potato kerfuffle. unforch this article only exists in german wikipedia:

- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 5 weeks ago:
i’d like to add: the gross glibberishness eggs give to mayo is in fact gross.
- Comment on If you had native-level fluency in a language, and don't talk in that language for a while, can you develop an accent later-on when trying to talk in that language again? 5 weeks ago:
yup. got a friend who visited recently after 7(?) years abroad. her phonetics and prosody are now anglicised.
also, my grandma once made fun of my german accent. (thats a more complicated story but yeah potato kartoffel.)
- Comment on How do I keep a brand new one of these mats from wanting to keep curling up on the ends? 5 weeks ago:
really just guessing but heating it with a hair dryer or smth, and curling it back a bit while letting it cool down might help, i’d imagine.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
the identity thing. as far as i see it’s usually white people who do this. to gain ethnic distinction?
sure its cool to find out more abt what your granparents did (unless you are german).
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
if i had the power to do so, i’d give you a french passport right away.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
maybe clearing this up: germany has a hereditary citizenship. i. e. children of germans can get a german passport.
being “german” means owning german citizenship (or citizenship of the one of the former constructs the federal republic sees as its precursors), not owning a set of genes. you can have no ‘distinct european genes’ (e.g. be ainu?) at all and get citizenship for your kids, as long as you have it. you can be “genetically german” and still don’t have a passport.
jus sanguinis usually isn’t genetically defined

“germans”, “french”, “danes” weren’t a thing. up until recently. they are genetically diverse groups.

euros aren’t all nobles. i don’t know my grandmas maiden names.

there was a lot of movement (read: fucking around) in europe. what do these tests even mean by “dutch”?

- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
did anyone ever get a passport because some lab result said they were 10% “genetically slovakian”?
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
by all means do.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
their obsession with genome analysis / where one of their great-great-grandfathers came from.
“i am italian, german, polish, chinese and cree!” “no, you are us-citizen and don’t speak any language but english.”

dark matter is a stand in, not a known type of particle. astronomers realized, that in galaxies there had to be way more mass than is visible due to the movement of stars within. but since it couldn’t be detected in any other way than through its gravitational influence, it was called dark matter.
this person has given the best answer so far. there is no thing we could identify as dark matter. the concept of it is more like a roadmap, a question to be answered.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
it doesn’t. light hitting e.g. a helium atom is an electromagnetical interaction. if dark matter does only interact gravitationally, it wont get hit by light.

it surely is not trivial. but if your boss isn’t super whack he should know that. (he knows, you haven’t played it? the others are also noobs?)
but from my expierience, passing a few easy balls is easy enough to learn in a short while. not as a competetive game but as an activity. — i played with friends sometimes, as a kid. they were playing in a team, i started everytime almost from scratch.
