  1. What do meteorologists think when they're asked about the weather?
  2. Last year, I'd often make egregious mistakes in orchestra like missing notes by half-tones, even full tones. When this happened, I often pondered just airbowing and not playing at all, since my net contribution to the orchestra was plausibly negative. Today, during my orchestra rehearsal, I realized that I've hardly made such embarrassing mistakes this year, and that my contribution is positive since I've been much more dedicatedly practicing. I'm glad I'm improving.
  3. Da Vinci's tank blueprint thing, specifically
  4. oh god its a skibidi toilet camera dude, i hate that i recognized it so quickly
  5. It's related to a musical instrument, but it's not a flute
  6. imo people have lots of ideas, the issue is they only remain ideas
  7. Someone should make a news outlet with stories representative of the real world, stories like "Study Shows Literally Nobody Is Out to Get You", "SHOCKING FACT: Most People Found to Be Decent", etc
  8. Remember those 1 or 2 months when you couldn't say "crazy" without someone else replying "I was crazy once, they locked me in a room..."? Weird how that happened and just stopped.
  9. Book label in a library, right?
  10. I'm trying to learn Haydn's cello concerto in C, but impatience and frustration is getting to me. It feels like there's an indefinite amount of slow practice I have to do over and over again, and that I'll never be able to actually play the piece. I wanna play the piece, dangit!! So, I end up rushing through it just to "play" it, then I miss all the notes, and get frustrated. This very delayed gratification is a good thing to learn, especially in this internet/instant gratification era, but man is it hard. I also don't know what to think while practicing. Often I'm just practicing, and some random thought comes through and I screw up. UGH!
  11. Sounds like a chatbot in all honesty... I hardly see any discussions here
  12. One of my favorite quotes/aphorisms! It applies to so much.
  13. I think the "solution" to this is mindset. Sure, any given social media site's homepage is chock full (and then some) of toxicity and paints a very vivid picture that the world is doomed forever- but it's really all just for engagement. Things aren't that bad in the real world. For example, practically nobody actually thinks humanity hasn't been to the moon, and TF2 casual isn't really unplayable right now (I just played some matches yesterday), etc. ad nauseam (look ma, latin!). It's all not your problem!
  14. Homer Simpson, and you're banned... call me Bruce Banner!
  15. Paperwork, emails, and more paperwork. Why is concurrent enrollment such an absolute pain in the ass? I just want to enroll in a class- let me push a button, not sign form after form and deal with person after person! Ugh I hate emailing people.
  16. Some UIs are impressively bad. I'm trying to enroll in a community college but the UI just makes no sense. No sense at all. I haven't the foggiest clue which of the innumerable branches and buttons does what, let alone how to actually use them for anything remotely useful or even informational. I'm guessing these UIs rear their ghastly unnavigable heads after a long period of feature creep and bad practices, in the same way as spaghetti code?
  17. Perseverance descending under its parachute, as seen by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. I think this is one of my favorite pictures now.
  18. Ads are the bane of the world... they're the whole reason social media listens to you and tries to get you addicted. The ad industry's end goal is basically just mind control I think.
  19. For an assigment but I think it came out well. Now that I think of it, this may be kind of political (although I don't mean it politically, it was required by the assignment) so mods can remove if they want
  20. It's kinda interesting how much angrier people seem to get over video games than many other products. I've never seen a forum full of people this angry about a cancelled vacuum cleaner or a shut-down headphone manufacturer, but I think this speaks to the success of KSP (and other video games people get mad over). They are good enough games that people get very, very invested in them and care this much. Honestly it's a testament to how darn good KSP is, now that I think about it.
