Pretty much all countries have widespread access to violent video games. Pretty much only one country has an issue with school shooting rampages. Coincidentally, this country also has easy access to high-powered, high-capcity firearms.

Yup, it is clearly the video games.

I mean, you literally started this thread about how you don't understand how the top and bottom strings work so....

He always posts as a smug troll in my experience. I actually can read music on guitar and violin and still have never had teachers make references to top strings or bottom strings. Dude just wants to appear as a musical badass I think

True, outside of very early lessons the whole "top string/bottom string" will not come up. It will most definitely come up though and the only people that get it wrong are amateur guitar teachers/players.

If I was trying to appear as a musical badass I would probably start spouting off on negative harmony or something actually worth of a theory discussion. I am just trying to correct low-rent guitar teacher bullspit, something I do regularly with my students.

There is no debate around this issue (beyond guitar players with little to no musical background). The low E is the one that is at the low end of the register and the high E is the one at the top. The physical location of the strings does not dictate where they fall in the musical spectrum.

On a guitar in standard tuning, the lowest note is always going to be E2. It would be silly to say "play your lowest note" and hear somebody bust out an E4. Think of it like a piano, if that makes it easier.

None of what you're saying here is in question. "Play your lowest note" is much less vague than "play the top string." If somebody told me the latter, especially assuming they don't know that much about guitar/music, I would think they mean low E.

You are failing to understand how this all works. When people refer to a string, be it top or bottom, it is in reference to the pitch it produces, not the physical location of the string. So your "top string" is the string which produces the "top end" of the instruments range.

Yeah. You missed every point made. Rofl

What did I miss? You are failing to understand how a guitar works in a musical setting. You are too obsessed with the location of the string so you overlook how the instrument works musically. Much like any other instrument, the guitar goes from low to high. Therefore, the "low string" will always be the string at the low end of the register, not the one closest to the floor.

As I said with my earlier post, this confusion only comes from guitar players who lack a solid musical foundation. If you can read sheet music, this is pretty clear from day one. Again, using the piano as a reference, the keys are arranged left to right so none of the keys are physically lower or higher than any other. If you asked a pianist what his "bottom key" was, they would tell you it is the left-most key on the board.

To be fair those kids are usually the fucking worst. They are like dragging a mule around over all the most asinine shit and you can't ever get on with anything because they think they are in some perpetual power struggle with a teacher trying to do their job. They think they can be cute because the school has its arms tied behind its backs when dealing with problem students its not surprising that abused teachers snap.

Yup, responding to children acting like children with violence is the right answer. Totally reasonable response for an adult.

I mean, it is weird for an adult to date a high-schooler but it isn't necessarily criminal, certainly not in this case.

I don't think you can use the word "chemist" to describe a high school kid. At best, he was interested in chemistry.

Welcome to an American college? Far-left students make up for their lack of political understanding with an overabundant zeal not seen in the youth of any era except, of course, maybe 1960s China or 1940s Germany.

Yup, the far-right would never stoop to such a level...

I am surprised the game has so many fans. It really isn't a great RPG and is burdened down by it's difficulty.

I would imagine the only people who hated Black Mirror were either really hard for technology, to the point they think it does not have any flaws, or are just really "slow" and just cannot grasp the overarching themes and moral points. Plain and simple, Black Mirror is an extremely well written show.

JT using homosexuality as an insult. Really classy.

That's not using it as an insult so much as it is recognizing that this guy really doesn't want to be gay, and mocking the cognitive dissonance that would come with that in response to his open hostility. It's not that it's funny when people are gay, it's that it's funny when people end up looking like hypocrites because of fierce, self-hating denial.

Don't bother with Zeus, him and comprehension no like each other.

But yeah, the biggest homophobes are often closet homosexuals, much like the fellow who painted over the mural. Wes Goodman is not the first case and he will not be the last.

Sakura is like, the most popular Japanese name.

I'm assuming it's Naruto but I'm not certain.

It is a super-common name, tbh, mostly because it's also the name of a flower. However, in general it's weird for a dude with a Japanese-looking username like JTekashiro's being confused about this shit

It's obviously a common name, however, we are clearly having a discussion about a specific Sakura who sprays chakra everywhere. I am still confused on who she is, why I should care, or what this chakra nonsense is.

Also, check my join date. As I said, my Japanimation references are well out of date. People weren't even considered "otaku" when I watched anime let alone "wiiabu" (I probably spelled that wrong.) Hell, most people these days are surprised when I even use "Japanimation" to talk about Sailor Moon.

Do you honestly believe this 12 y/o kid asked to buy and wear that shirt out of his own "free will"? let's see what people will vote

Given that picking out a shirt isn't hard and CNN is mocked heavily on social media (including with a viral WWE clip), it doesn't seem unreasonable to believe a 12 y/o picked the shirt.

Full Throttle posted...

Yes. He's a smart kid and knows his politics. It is very believable he picked out that shirt to slam CNN as Fake News

You don't need to be smart to mock CNN. They're kind of a joke. They've been lampooned on many popular comedy shows, including the Daily Show, Last Week Tonight, etc, in addition to being widely derided on social media.

Do you honestly equate taking a knee with wearing an offensive shirt?

My "white person" sense is tingling all over...

That is a true Christian who respects traditional marriage right there. By which I mean he views women as property that need men's protection because they are just so inferior to men.
