They could have also taught us how to change a tire, or make a casserole, or which fork is the salad fork. Ultimately our parents should be teaching us some stuff... but if the parents didn't learn it (maybe because ma and pa simply didn't have the patience to teach) then we start running into issues, and eventually we end out with a generation who can barely make mac and cheese from a box, so they get it doordashed.
Pleasant memories. The asshole next to blew as hard as he could point blank to my ear. Fuck I hate those things.
I got detention for a week because when one of my classmates did this to me I hit him with mine.
No ragerts.
One assault for another
Did anyone here watch American Pie? I thought the benefit of this instrument is clear from that movie.
Isn't she using a "flûte traversière" in that movie (not sure of the English name, "sideways flute"?).
Possible, don't remember exactly. But the principle should be the same, right?
Yes yes, though I always imagined she had to take it apart because the parts you finger would definitely be a no-go.
The parts you finger can't easily be removed.
Oh you meant the flute, not the girl.
I'm glad someone took my bait 😜
That is a flute. This is a recorder. It's just not the same putting it up there.
A recorder is a variety of flute known as a "fipple." But your point stands, some love to have a little fipple, while other's don't.
Now if you could only afford some hot cross buns
Now that its 10 years since I last set foot in a school, I hold three opinions about the public school system (in Germany; check yourself what applies to your country):
- Schools are an institution where adolescents are detained during the day, so their parent(s) can work and not worry about their children setting fire to the city.
- A lot of the curriculum doesn’t prepare you for life. And it’s not meant to. Instead it forces you to engage with a topic for a longish period of time without the possibility to quit. That is supposed to allow you to see if you find the problems that topic poses interesting and if you like finding solutions for these problems.
- Schools should put more emphasis on life skills.
I cast vicious mockery, Nat 20. Let's F'ckn go!
I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes.
Tuduludududoodeledie
Damned musicians!
How can ye exploit the workers if ye doon’t et yer meeeet!!
I remember my dad telling me it was a waste of time, back then, I didn't listen
And I'm still good at it!
You got a Yamaha? We got the semitransparent plastic blue ones.
