I agree that typically that backlash is stupid and just racist, but even in the original folktale the entire reason she is called “Snow White” was because she was supposed to have “skin as white as snow”. It is weird that they chose a non-white actress in this case.
A lot of it has to do with the kind of music or instrument you play. If you’re playing guitar in a rock band, a lot of guitarists can’t read music. Hell a lot of guitar sheet music specifically has the tabs attached. If you’re playing trumpet for a jazz band or orchestra though, you’re pretty much required to read music.
then Fox stopped being about foxes.
The word you’re looking for already exists, it’s egalitarianism lol.
A long time ago (over 10 years ago) after listening to this album me and a friend made a pact that next time they went on tour we would go see them while tripping on LSD. They never toured again…
“I am the alpha and the omega” only means “I am the beginning and the end” because alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Alpha does not mean “first” in Greek you smug dipshit.
“It’s pronounced Arcanine, dad.”
Exactly, the goal is to make it so everyone has that much accumulated wealth by the time they retire. We have enough so that everyone can live somewhat comfortably. People who critize socialists like Hasan for being rich are dumb. Being a socialist doesn’t mean you can’t be successful, it means you want everyone to have that level of comfort and security. If they were billionaires they might have a point, but I won’t say someone’s a hypocrite for being a socialist with a few million in the bank.
It’s also why I laugh when Conservatives talk about “The Hollywood Liberal Elite”. The real ruling class are the giant corporate executives and old money. Most actors are closer to working class than that. I also think public figures like actors, musicians, athletes, etc. should be paid a bit more than the average person, being under constant public scrutiny genuinely is stressful. The gap between them and us just needs to be closed a bit with the actual ruling class’ money.
You can tell that was a really satisfying shit because right after it’s finished it stops moving for a second.
I think Bill Hicks had a good solution.
That was over 30 years ago though, sadly those seeds didn’t sprout.
It’s not your own art, that’s the whole point. Learn to draw or paint or even use graphic design software like every other artist.
“I want to be artistic without putting in any actual effort.”
If you can only “create” AI art, you’re not an artist. I don’t even care if you use it, just don’t act like you’re anywhere near the same as someone who spent time actually learning and honing a skill, or that it’s your own work. It’s the AI’s “work” that was typically stolen from actual artists online.
I already have it all planned out. I know which album will lead into which and have ways I will play off it. I do switch as drastically as rock to Hip Hop but none of them are niche genres like choir lol.
I’m essentially creating love letters to all these different genres that have influenced me, and they’re all genres with bigger fanbases. I’m trying to tie them together through lyrical content.
I’m a musician with dreams of opening a donations based label and covering a different genre every album. Currently releasing a mixtape where each song is a different genre.
Most recent release was on July 4th to protest all the horseshit going on in America: https://youtu.be/RsS5mFz-WgA
Also have a video explaining my dream a bit more here: https://youtu.be/1SROCLSPY9U
I’m literally not causing a genocide, the IDF and ICE are lol. Me being against said genocides does not determine whether they happen. If either of us just happened to be born in another country their actions would likely remain the same and the genocides would have happened anyway. You’re delusionally blaming all citizens for the actions of their governments. Get mad at the oligarchs, hell even the conservative voters, that is where the blame lies, not Timmy who just happened to be born in the US.
We all realize that. You implying all Americans are implicit because they’re forced to pay taxes, like just about any citizen of any nation, is the stupid part here. Paying taxes does not make you implicit in the actions of your government. Full stop. Yet you keep bringing it up as a “gotcha”.
“Hehe we’re just as much to blame for being Americans even though we have a rigged election system and no way to escape it.”
All you’re doing is attempting to dehumanize and discredit people based on nationality. Literal MAGA mentality. No shit we pay taxes, do you not?
Yeah, because it’s a really fucking stupid point to make. I didn’t choose to be born in America and I’m forced to pay taxes. It’s blaming every day citizens for their government’s actions regardless of the citizen’s actions or votes.
The majority of Lemmy is leftist, and the majority of Americans on Lemmy do not support what’s happening right now. Should I blame you for the actions of your country? I’m sure we can find some awful shit if we look through history, especially if you’re European.
You mean the Civil War declared by the north and south’s governments and fought by their militaries?
But sure, keep expecting the average American to start a Civil War or else they’re complicit in their government’s action. Holy fuck you’re dumb, I’m done.
Some left handed guitarists play right handed just because left handed guitars are much harder to find, or they just string it like Jimi Hendrix lol. I’m sure that’s true of other tools and hobbies.
