• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨learning to play an instrument on your own, but how/what?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I played a brass instrument for 9 years and was good enough that I could’ve probably made a career of it, but it’d have been a struggle for sure.

  I’ve dabbled in guitar for close to 30 years now and highly suggest that it’s a better instrument, especially for solo play than anything that is going to make single tones. Chords of any type allow for much richer music when you’re alone.

  I did have a parent that made me take a year of piano lessons as my first instrument, but I quit that for the brass. I do wish I had kept after piano/keyboard as it’s much more versatile.

  Even today, on broadcast TV you won’t see swearing or nudity because of prudish views. Cable is a little more lax, and “extra-cable” or streaming like HBO or Cinemax were even more lax.

  The more you had to seek it out the less likely anyone was going to clutch their pearls over something.

  Also see: Janet Jackson and Timberlake “wardrobe malfunction”.

  The Governor of MN was also Harris’s running mate and Trump wants to punish that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Again I ask… where exactly? Inside the USA your micro nation is going to have to either follow all the laws of the local, regional and national governments, or be prepared to defend it by force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh… where exactly? There’s not a lot of land that isn’t claimed by someone already and unless you’re willing to hold whatever new nation you’re trying to form by force, you’ll have a hard time. Trying to do that in the middle of the Gobi Dessert probably only requires a few million in weapons, but water is gonna be hard to come by. Trying it inside the USA is gonna be pretty tough. I’ll suggest buying an island for a couple billion, spend another couple billion on infrastructure and then just a kinda lay-low government, where you don’t officially claim independence, but also don’t really follow the laws you don’t like (see Epstein island for more details).
