| Topic | The Shopping Cart Theory |
| Twin3Turbo 07/15/20 12:05:00 PM #8 | The shopping cart dilemma is similar to the "picking up your dog's crap in the park" dilemma. Except in the most dire of situations, if you don't do it then it pretty much shows who you are as a person. --- |
| Topic | What is CE's stance on sugar babies/sugar daddies? |
| Twin3Turbo 07/15/20 11:58:57 AM #75 | MFBKBass5 posted... Fair point. But I dont think the sugar daddy necessarily is fully in control of themselves. Theyre lured in by loneliness and sadness.Loneliness and sadness might be the case in much of the time (I couldn't give you a percentage, it could be low or high, I don't have my finger on the pulse of that community to know honestly) but I would guess that many of the "daddy's" just like having power and control over someone, especially a good looking younger person. --- |
| Topic | What is CE's stance on sugar babies/sugar daddies? |
| Twin3Turbo 07/15/20 11:51:47 AM #61 | My opinion on sugar baby/daddy relationships? All parties involved are pathetic the vast majority of the time. In regards to whether or not it's moral? I don't see how it's immoral. You seem to think the older guy is being "taken advantage of" but in reality, they understand exactly what they are doing and what they are getting 100% of the time. No one is forcing them to do anything or scamming them. I'm not entirely sure what's immoral about it. It's just pathetic. --- |

That being said I don't usually make a girl if I have to create my own character. Mainly because I try to make it look as close to myself as possible. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 06/15/20 1:44:50 PM #13 | I've learned the vast majority of history without the need of a statue or other similar such monuments. But for some reason these confederate monuments just have to be memorialized into statues cause otherwise all of a sudden everyone would forget.... Uh huh. You know what, if anything those confederate monuments probably give people an inaccurate view of history when it's all said and done. As if it's something that should be praised and celebrated, because why else would we have a statue of them, right? Fuck outta here. --- |

She only needed a small fraction of that to be honest.Good lord some of you are ridiculous. The money is for a variety of things such as guaranteeing the safety of not just her but her family, security, therapy (yes the girl will likely need that) etc in both the short and long term. And yes, legal issues may arise depending what crazy people may try to do. Keep in mind she cant just go out in public, get a job, and go to school like most people her age would do, at least for the foreseeable future. And neither can many members of her immediate family. You dont know how much money she may need --- |

| Topic | Unfortunate fallout from the George Floyd video |
| Twin3Turbo 06/08/20 5:45:32 PM #1 | So in the midst of all of this that's been going on for the past two weeks, unfortunately Darnella Frazier, the 17 year old girl who filmed the video, has been getting bullied and her safety is at risk. There's a GoFundMe (verified by the official GoFundMe twitter account) out there trying to raise 500k for her family. As of right now, they are at 450k. I'm actually compelled to donate for once honestly. It's sad that a 17 year old girl that did absolutely nothing wrong all of a sudden has had her life turned upside down. --- |

| Topic | Question for POC CE: How do you see Jews? |
| Twin3Turbo 06/08/20 5:29:45 PM #14 | In all honesty, I've never really thought of them as anything other than white (given that the vast majority of them that I've ever met in person or seen online have been white). I never even knew what a Jewish person was until I was in the 4th grade. Other than the off-hand comment here and there online, the topic of Jewish people never really comes up in my life and someone being a Jew never really comes to my mind. I never really separate them into their own category unless the conversation explicitly calls for it. --- |

I don't think that people that think that have thought too hard about it. Trying to remove bi-racial people from black history will take A LOT of people who have contributed majorly to black society out of the discussion. Frederick Douglass, WEB Dubois, Booker T Washington, etc. Hell even Barack Obama --- |

| Twin3Turbo 06/04/20 11:41:02 AM #47 | tigerslashII posted... I dated a pinay once and she told me that in the Philippines, the dark skinned girls were considered ugly by Filipino men but American men loved them. They said the most beautiful women were the short, thin, white looking ones while girls who were taller and darker were only chased by American soldiers. Which worked out for them since they loved American men, but it led to the saying that they were "so dark that Americans like them" or something to that affect.Not really sure it's strange tbh. I think imperialism has had A LOT to do with it. --- |

| Topic | Why do light skinned black people get **** on |
| Twin3Turbo 06/04/20 10:28:58 AM #21 | There's a whole thing about "colorism", which is essentially the idea that light skin people get treated better or seen as better than darker skin people on average, in many different respects. And not just by non-black people. Which I won't deny cause I've seen it with my own eyes in many different forms. That doesn't mean that light skinned black people don't get profiled or treated badly at all though. The argument is just that on average they get treated better. Also, this isn't just isolated to black populations either. Similar shit has been seen in other places, such as India as well. --- |

| Twin3Turbo 06/02/20 8:17:54 PM #32 | RedJackson posted... I'd say so.. you don't even need to be at the concert level to write great music.. guitarists have been doing fine without sight-reading for years :PHa, my mom bought a Williams electric piano a few months ago, but I'm so used to playing on weighted keys that I hate it lol. Reason I recommend fully weight is because when I first started playing, I played exclusively on an electric piano with non-weighted keys, for quite some time. Then when I went to a real piano, I could barely even press the keys down. I just think it makes more sense to start weighted from the get go so that your fingers can gain the necessary strength from the jump. But obviously, if for whatever reason one can't gain access to a weighted keyboard, you have to work with what you have. I understand that probably the cheapest quality one is going to be around $500 SiO4 posted... That is what is important.Hmm, I guess I'm not sure what part you specifically disagree with. You can be passionate about something but still be strict and purposeful about how you develop that skill. But the main reason I mention the grinding thing is because when you get right down to it, basically all good pianists that I know personally or well known pianists have had to "grind" at some point or another in order to get good and there are tons of interviews and what not pointing to that. It's just true of most any skill to be honest. That doesn't take away from the passion part though. That being said, I guess it also depends on how good you want to get or how fast you want to get there. --- |

It'd be awesome to one day be able to compose my own music for my animations too; that's kind of my end goal with this. I want to be as multifaceted as I can as an artist.Oh I forgot one thing, I dont recommend anything less than an 88 key fully weighted keyboard, assuming you are serious about trying to learn --- |

| Twin3Turbo 06/02/20 6:44:27 PM #22 | masticatingman posted... If you didnt start as a kid, Id strongly suggest learning almost any other instrument instead. Something about the pianos twin clefs makes it highly conducive to learning as a kid.This is probably true, but to be fair its pretty much true of most things. Learning earlier as a kid is just better. There are plenty of good pianists that learned as an adult though. I didnt learn til I was 19. Kent Hewitt said he didnt start learning till he was like in his 40s or something like that. You can still become an adept player, but its almost impossible to become like a concert pianist or something like that if you dont start young --- |

| Twin3Turbo 06/02/20 6:42:17 PM #20 | fohstick posted... @Twin3TurboThe trick is to play slowly and with a metronome. Similar to lifting weights, go up a bit at a time. So for example, if you set a metronome to 30 and can do it perfectly multiple times in a row, set it to 35 and then do it, and then 40 and beyond. And then go to sleep and do some more the next day. --- |

She was on the verge of depression there. It's insane how much value she attached to getting a high number of matches.

It actually is, though.This is just a personal observation/thought And could very well be complete BS (Im certainly open to hearing opinions) but I have at least wondered if women judging my men so harshly is at least in some part tied to how thirsty men are. When dudes are after you like that and constantly praising you and trying to get with you, it naturally will make you think more highly if yourself than where you actually may be and because of that you start to see even average looking dudes as beneath you. Even when you are hovering around average yourself. --- |

| Topic | CE had a fit when I said "Women have it so much easier on Dating Apps" |
| Twin3Turbo 05/31/20 5:28:28 PM #53 | Yeah basically the challenges in this topic boil down to they have to deal with a lot of bad matches and BS during the sifting phase. Which is true and Im somewhat sympathetic to, however a lot of guys cant even get to that phase. If/when he gets there, hes going to have to put up with some BS too. So if a woman gets 100+ matches or whatever and yet still cant seem to find the right guy then what are the chances that a guy getting 3 matches is going to find the right woman? --- |
