Yeah, sure. But I came back with proof of my quote with citations to the pages where they appeared in the book. Or did you miss that part of my comment?

There's actually a biological reason for this, believe it or not. Language and music "time share" many characteristics of both hemispheres of the brain. Language and music are processed in different hemispheres.

Read pages 20-26 of the book "How Music Really Works" by Wayne Chase. It breaks it down in detail.

I got banned from worldnews on lemmy.world for quoting Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. The mods said I was being racist. I came back with citations and explained that I was replying to another HHGTTG quote with a line that followed it up in the book.

They wouldn't even consider it. No matter what, my comment "seemed racist."

Lesson: don't try to be clever.

And that's funny why?

I don't know, but some ignorant people who don't know biology are. (not talking about OP).

Why is this funny? Like at all.

And you went for outrage over comprehension.

It'll drop from "iron clad support" to "iron plated support" for Israel.

This is "off my chest" is it not? I'm simply stating how I feel about pity-posting memes that seem to brag about ineptitude or unwillingness to engage. I should have known it would be picked apart.

Special interest money (Looking at you, AIPAC) needs to be removed from ALL political influence, too.

 

I get it; we're all tired. Exhausted, even. Getting up, dealing with humans, making your way through traffic, navigating social complexities, etc., all suck.

Being disconnected, unwilling or unmotivated to engage, or just out of it adds to the morass of shit. I am tired of people who don't bother to try.

To me, these people just make things more unbearable.

 
 

My 914. This is my second one. I've also had a few busses, a 68 Beetle, 74 Ghia (I gave that to my dad), and some non VW air-cooled.

This one has been my favorite to date.
