I know whatever musicians were playing that faster track put countless hours into learning to play their style, but so does every other professional musician. That to me sounds like complete garbage, just as I'm sure slower lyrical music sounds like garbage to you.

Different kinds of musicians spend their time improving different aspects of their playing. Some of it you will appreciate, and some you won't. You don't have to be an elitist about it and pretend your favorite genre is the only one that requires any skill to perform well. Most people simply don't care how fast you can play those technical passages that are so distorted they sound like white noise to the average person. They would rather perfect their tone and style.

They got you talking about Duolingo. That's why they changed it.

I would say they they are still culturally significant. Just not quite to the extent they once were.

I wouldn't say one is necessarily working harder than the other. They're just doing different things.

Stupid poor people. Simply be born wealthy, its not that hard.

"since it's so magically easy to not have the cops railroad you, it must not be happening"

It is happening, it just isn't going to happen any more in this case. Notice every time I said this person would be fine I said "in this situation. There is a reason for that. Also note when I literally said the justice system is biased against black people.

"therefore everyone fucked over by cops must have deserved it".

Well I don't believe that, never said I did, and I never will believe it. That's obviously completely untrue, so I don't know why you're saying this.

You willing to wait 3 years in jail for that? If you survive?

Have you ever heard of bail? Not a perfect solution to that problem, but its disingenuous to say you are definitely going to have to wait in jail for 3 entire years to get to your trial.

You know what, this conversation isn't worth it.

Ah, the classic "I don't have to come up with an argument because you aren't worth my time." You don't have to be correct if you can just call me naive.

I definitely don't envy your unfounded cynisism. The justice system is biased against black people, but when the planting of evidence is already proven to that extent, there isn't anything they can do.

Its not like you just automatically go to prison if you're black. You still get a trial, and if you have a case that good you'll be fine.

I am white but not very wealthy. But in this case that doesn't make much of a difference. If its so obvious they planted evidence that the entire world already knows about it, you will come out on top regardless of race.

I'm not particularly worried about going to prison for a DUI. Nor am I worried they're gonna kill me. If there are public articles about how evidence was planted, even the shittiest lawyer on earth would have a field day with that case.

It probably should've been lower, I've already given up.

Third world shitholes that are third world shitholes?

Its the rest of the world including third world shit holes. I'm comparing us to the rest of the world. There are many first world countries that are much worse for trans people as well, so I'm not sure what your point is here.

That isn't "fine" in most everywhere else in the developed world but you do you. You "know" plenty of trans people, so all is fine and dandy.

I didn't say everything is fine and dandy. I said its great compared to the rest of the world. If you look at my first comment, I explicitly said it still isn't great overall. Don't put words in my mouth.

All I want is for people to stop acting like they're gonna die if they go to Texas.

I like having the most open and shut case of all time, and an opportunity to get shit loads of money.
