My violin teacher called it practicing without ambition. Every time you practice, you’re supposed to criticize yourself and constantly compare yourself to better players so that you can strive to master a specific part of playing. In a healthy way, of course. Otherwise, you can “practice” for fifty years and still never learn anything.

It started as a 4chan prank to trick liberals, but ended up being taken just as seriously by Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists. It was called Operation O-KKK and the plan was to flood Twitter using, and I quote, “basic white girl names” accounts and tweet that the OK sign is a white supremacy symbol.

Later, the OK sign became like a signal to these white power people that you were a sympathizer or member. I don’t know how true this is, but at this point the OK sign were said to represent the letter W and P, for white power.

During this time I remember a lot more memes used by these losers. I think Pepe? I don’t remember much else.

If other people had the money he has, they’d go to school and learn so many things. Elon has all the money and just learns nothing. What a waste of space.

Holy fuck I didn’t know Elon is that big of a bigot, he keeps getting worse every time

I don’t know a thing about coding but I have an Ubuntu now. I’m still figuring out how to install 7zip, and I’m beginning to wonder if “install” means something else in here. It’s been fun though.

Aw… I see. Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it.

Will they have the power to reject candidates? Maybe I’m naive to think they’ll have the trans men compete too but I wanna see how it’ll play out.

It’s not about winning, it’s about sending a message. The message being that trans women shouldn’t have any problem competing with cis women if the judges feel that trans men will have a problem competing with cis women. I hope that make sense to read.

Does this mean we won’t be able to see it live? Or at all?

I found Finding Paradise as good, if not better, than To The Moon. I sniffled on the first game, but full on crying for the second one.

The third one is personally meh. I couldn’t sympathize with the conflict. But I can see it touching other people’s hearts. Still glad I bought it, to support the dev.

I wanted to reply to you but the thread is hidden. I just wanted to say that I had hopes that the smaller audience could detect nuance but clearly Lemmy people are as arrogant as Reddit.

Thanks 1975 for bringing to light that Malaysia should be ashamed about being backwards. But a lot of people will suddenly feel they need to vote Malay-first parties when they didn’t before, because politics literally forgot LGBTQ+ exists. Malays-first parties is like Whites-first groups, to you who look at us like we’re minority creatures squabbling over words.

I hope the government continues eating nasi lemak and sleeping during parliament. Their laziness will be very useful here. Although it would be nice if one of them says something like “People are people”. 1 Malaysia should include LGBTQ+. Here’s hoping, anyway.

People from the west don’t understand how much more different bringing progressive thought to SEA is. Nobody here really cares about listening to the people who are actually affected. You can’t burst in with freedom flags. We don’t have that kind of freedom of speech. Don’t provoke them into taking my freedom away.

Here’s hoping the gov forgets this and moves on instead of putting down any dangerous laws.

I’m just dreading what the old bags in Parliament are gonna follow this up with. I hope they’re too lazy to do anything. Just this once.

Having worked with my government for school dental programs, I’ve met my fair share of students age 12 to 17 who smoke because their parents do. You’re right that marketing is a huge part of it, but I wanted to share the parents’ responsibility also.

I don’t understand, the school wanted empty trash cans before EVERY class?? Why?
