Do you recommend a particular instance?

Yeah, that was the dominant form of music distribution at the time.

So you haven’t seen, for example, Cowboys From Hell by Pantera or Weathered by Creed, then? I don’t think Vs is a particularly bad album cover, especially by comparison to those. The photography is fine. Maybe it’s not your average Hipgnosis cover, but it’s ok.

Yeah, that’s a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I’m playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it’s easier to move the root notes around that way.

Anything from Neutral Milk Hotel’s album In an Aeroplane Over the Sea. The whole album is Guitar 101.

It’s very, very costly, both but the hardware and the electricity it takes to run it. There may be a bit of sunk cost fallacy at play for some, especially the execs who are calling for AI Everything, but in the end, in AI doesn’t generate enough increase in revenue to offset its operational costs, even those execs will bow out. I think the economics of AI will cause the bubble to burst because end users aren’t going to pay money for a service that does a mediocre job at most things but costs more.

First, I didn’t say the people shouldn’t be respected. I said faith shouldn’t be. It’s the worst, least reliable way to draw conclusions about the world. A method that only ever produces falsehoods is not respectable. Why should I respect it?

Why should faith be respected?

Having trans people in my life led me to question my relationship with gender. In doing so, I discovered that while I am cisgender, I have a lot of hangups about the expectations of my gender in society and among certain cultural groups, including the one I was raised in. It’s helped to resolve some things in my mind and discover things about myself, and I’m grateful for that.

Did not read the entire article, but the first thing that stands out to me is the survey question itself:

Because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.

This language is extremely in line with fascistic rhetoric. So the people agreeing to this are likely Trump supporters. Maybe this is a good thing that most people think democracy is in trouble but only 23% of them think fascism is the solution.
