@prog_1211 I listened to it in ~2021 and I was like “surely this can’t be good my parents like it” and then I was awestruck almost immediately LOL

Section to section. There’s a lot of intensity and velocity to how he approaches the ends and beginnings of phrases with his harmonic choices that lead to a relatively standard backing track feel more driving, like it has somewhere to go. Being open minded about music is good!

This is spot on. People conflate not liking a piece of art with it being inherently vacant of value. While I don’t listen to this guy or like his stuff more than my own favorites, there’s irrefutable evidence of musicality here. Detailed phrasing both measure to measure and…

people saying this is anti-art is infinitely more anti-art than this performance is. if you truly believe technicality can reduce the artistic quality of music, just hang up your hat, you’re washed. music can be incredibly technical and moving and the belief otherwise is baffling

@drumm_colin Ok wait I have to unblock to ask you this, why are you like this? You’ve tweeted ~30x a day since you made your account, do you have people that enjoy your company and want to spend time with you?

Blue Cross Blue Shield, and all privatize health insurance carriers, are genuinely pure evil. The US would be a monumentally better place if we nationalized free and effective healthcare to keep it away from corporate greed and gave health insurance executives life in prison.

@redrum_panda This same thing happened to me! It really sucks and deals an extreme amount of psychic damage to your conception of your own worth. Sorry it happened to you!

@eatmysxcks @aliumrapture Yeah the CBT discourse that got spawned the last couple of days has definitely not brought out the best and the brightest to defend their points LOL

So many people on this hellhole of a website just LARP being leftists via anti-intellectually challenging established norms for its own sake. Like absolutely do a feminist or marxist analysis of power structures but actually critically think about it first, it’s the bare minimum

@aliumrapture to cope at their own pace. You fail to acknowledge the people it does meaningfully help. Allowing people room to process and not be as despondent and spiral on a regular basis gets them back to a baseline that they can then operate through and build from.

@aliumrapture I am operating in good faith, your arguments are just bad. Your framing itself is bad faith itself. CBT isn’t “teaching them they are helpless” or “disempowering them.” Thinking otherwise is ignorant at best. It is one method of allowing people to get their life back on track…

@aliumrapture Giving people coping tools is not gaslighting? And “what should not be reconciled with” is often a ridiculous overreach. Please tell me further that you’ve done no reading or research and are going based off of vibes and preconceived notions. You are an anti-intellectual.

@aliumrapture upon them that’s pretty inarguably a good thing. Again, psychiatrists and therapists can’t change the reality of an unjust society, but that can offer tools and suggestions that help people do what they have to do to survive.

@aliumrapture space where they may not have other options. No therapist or psychiatrist can meaningfully change a patient’s material conditions and framing it as predatory and gaslighting is non-factual. If people are able to more readily tackle the challenges our amoral society foists…
