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.

I’m not down about it, I expected some downvotes from a question like this, because Lemmy isn’t that different from reddit 😅

How did you get your name like that?

Omg they are angels

That’s so adorable. Do bats like getting petted?

I think they replaced half the cashiers here, but not at every branch. Do you have machine cooks at your McD?

Wait, really? Can you tell me more? I don’t know what to google.

The reply to that tweet makes a lot of sense and it’s been around for a while. Why doesn’t this change more people’s minds? It changed mine the first time I saw it.

I feel the exact same way you do about DOS2. I switched to an easier difficulty soon enough. Baldur’s Gate 3 feels like I finally get to be a player as a forever-DM, but also makes me feel like scolding the non-existent DM for some stupid encounter and quest design. I play with a full party of friends, so maybe it’s because we fuck around too much.

That said, it is early access. Hopefully the final product has better intuition so that you don’t have to save-reload all the damn time because you didn’t mindread the devs.

That’s crazy. He wants to turn the app into an everything app and there isn’t even concrete plans in place. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in their meetings. If they even have one.

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

That’s crazy pretty!! Thanks!

I remember this sparked an argument the last time this pic was posted somewhere else. Like, the bread isn’t toasted, it’s butter but the lighting makes it look bright, no it’s cream cheese the lighting is normal, etc. It was the pettiest thing but things for racist real fast.

I like how you’ve boiled it down. Wish I can freely tell people that, but being atheist is apparently worse than murder where I live.

Is there a lot of support for Mint? I picked Ubuntu because it looked like there is more people who can help with it if I had to post a question.

I like the gold one, in the back. Can I see a close up of It? It’s really pretty.

Thanks! Installing Ubuntu was a whole situation in itself so it was a preview of what’s to come 😂

Callebaut and Valrhona are definitely available for me! I’ll try some of their white choco then. Thanks!

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.
