Why are some people here supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

I don’t know if they actually are or if it’s a joke or whatever but there is no reason for anyone on the left to support this war. The current Russian government is a dictatorship ran by a bunch of former KGB kleptocrats and oligarchs who played a rule in dismantling the USSR. It’s a hyper nationalist government invading a super libbed-up country, Russian troops only fly Soviet symbols sometimes not as a symbol of communism but rather as a symbol of domination of Ukraine. Before you call me a liberal I would like to specify that I’m not, the average liber stance is “We need to fund weapons to Ukraine” which I disagree with, I think the only option is for Ukraine to unfortunately give up some of its territory which might already happen, however I disagree with the mineral deal, we shouldn’t steal Ukraine’s resources and devastate their environment. As for the “Ukraine is full of Nazis” thing that Z pushers always say, what European country post Cold War isn’t full of Nazis, however the amount of Nazis in Ukraine did increase after America funded skinhead gangs to fight Russians making them look heroic causing naive Ukrainians to turn to their side, although I still don’t think this justifies Russias invasion. At the end of the day I would say that this war is Americas fault because America waged the Cold War on the USSR causing Ukraine and Russia to split and after we promised that we would do no NATO expansion into former Soviet states we did anyways and continued encircling Russia even after they adopted our shitty system just so we could have global hegemonic power, so it was inevitable that a war like this would happen out of blowback and cause the death of millions. But blowback doesn’t mean that you should support it, I dislike how my country steals oil from the Middle East so it was inevitable that 9/11 would happen but that doesn’t mean that I support the people who did it.

I'm tired of sitting around staring at the screen so I decided I wanted to learn piano and started researching it and everyone across the board essentially said self-taught piano is a meme and you need a teacher, and while I can bear the cost of a cheap weighted 88 key piano there's no way I can afford an actual teacher. What are good skills to learn in my spare time so I'm not a complete mental bot of a person?

My guess is that rock's popularity made way more people want to learn guitar leading to a lot of self taught people who play it whereas most other instruments still have roots in being something only the wealthy had the time and resources to put into learning thus the "you absolutely need a teacher" mindset still persists. Though a teacher (a good one) will absolutely be better than someone teaching themselves. Especially if that person's starting from ground zero in knowledge.

>everyone across the board essentially said self-taught piano is a meme and you need a teacher
This is absolutely false. I have learned the basics of piano during COVID lockdown and I can now improvise with a keyboard during jam sessions without too many issues.

Of course my technique isn't terribly good, I'm not a "real pianist".
I will never be able to play a Liszt concerto. I will always feel insecure and self-depreciate in front of someone who formally learned to play piano with proper technique at a music school. I tend to improvise too much in the major keys of D or G because they are the ones I'm the most comfortable with. My left and right hands aren't completely independent from each other.

But it only took me a month or two to be able to play the first twelve bars of Chopin's Prelude No. 4. And more importantly, it's fun, and learning to play piano allows you to apply the basics of harmony and keyboard technique to other instruments like synthesizers, which can be very useful when making electronic music in a DAW for example.

My main problem is that I don't practice, in part because my 88-key MIDI keyboard is busted, but mostly because I'm lazy.
The first instrument I've learned is guitar 20 years ago, and I still can't play moderately complex classical pieces or any hard song by Elliott Smith/Judee Sill/John Fahey.
It's okay, I play slow, but I can still play. I made peace with this years ago. It's better to have limited technique than no technique and no knowledge at all .

There is a ton of Youtube videos on how to learn piano. We don't even have to learn how to read sheet music in order to learn songs nowadays, we are insanely lucky on that front.
I recommend this video to quickly learn how to have a better finger position, this channel is pretty cool, this girl is a rather unpretentious classical pianist.
Keep playing and don't listen to the gatekeepers.

It's like saying it's useless to play a video game like Celeste because you will never be one of the top speedrunners of the game.
Or that it's useless to learn painting because you will never be as good as Van Gogh or Vermeer.
Or that it's useless to go fishing because you will never catch a fish as big as the world's record.
Or that it's useless to learn Marxist theory because you will never be the next Lenin or Adorno.
Or that it's useless to learn programming because you never be as smart as Donald Knuth.

You don't have to be the best at something to enjoy it, have fun with it, or for it to make you a more well-rounded and knowledgeable person.
Not many people can perfectly play a Liszt concerto, and the ones who can are famous precisely because they can. Do you think everyone who has a piano at their home are training everyday with a teacher since they were 2 years old? No, most of them play relatively simple pieces like Moonlight Sonata to have fun, not to showoff.

This attitude of "you will never be perfect at X therefore give up before you ever tried" is just encouraging people to live a mediocre life consisting of doomscrolling and passively consuming media.

and almost 3 decades ago if you asked an artist if you could become good by self teaching they'd say take an art class or don't waste your time now the average artist you run into is a broke mf that learned off youtube playing piano and most other instruments would probably have ended up the same way if the money investment upfront wasn't so high so most don't even bother thus those that go the traditional route dominate the space

How does anyone actually still like this guy?

I can’t believe that we went from “Should Billionaires exist?” To “Should trillionaires exist?” I hate this so fucking much! Americans are so fucking stupid that after the Big Ugly Bill and all of the social security and snap benefits that they lost they’re are still worshipping Trump and Elon while they live in poverty. The only upside to all of this income inequality is that if Tankies are right about the “Riot Tax” maybe the people will rise up. But based on the way things are going now and all of the attention being placed on identity politics rather then class consciousness everyone will probably just keep blaming their economic status on immigrants or trans people or whatever the fuck. And if they deport a bunch of people and that doesn’t solve anything then they will just say that you didn’t do it enough, rinse and repeat. I can only hope that, that won’t be the outcome

Why is it so difficult to have varied taste? If I show appreciation for petite girls with flat chests, I get pidgin-holed as a lolicon, if I take interest in tall girls with big breasts, then I'm assumed to have "mommy issues" It's simply not fair….

I pity those with such singular tastes, but I never insult them. I have a diverse range of affections, and I want to try all kinds of pleasures.

A lot more art instances federate with them than I suspected. Instance I use has a "does not defederate by assocition" clause, which I suspect is becoming a trend, which means admins that used to block trigger-happily are going back through and unblocking to open things up a bit.

That sounds like an improvement. I never really understood the appeal of "decentralization" on principle alone, >>707174
That's kinda part of the reason, the flagship sites are so mindnumbingly barren and uninspired. But I don't want to be beholden to some small-time sysadmin who could just delete me for a shitpost they didn't like. Or decide they don't wanna run a site anymore.
