there’s something about it that’s just disturbingly real.
like i can come here and spout whatever nonsense i want, and ya’ll will tolerate it.
twitter is like an alien world where i don’t know what’s gonna happen, if fucking ted cruz is gonna respond to me or what.
it’s nerve wracking, it’s too mainstream.
i prefer this bullcrap where no one knows anyone or what’s going on at any given time.
But do u remember that time when a writer came at you here?
that’s true, but unlike twitter, i was only tumblr shamed.
and tumblr shaming doesn’t work on me because tumblr shaming is like if a group of furries came with signs to shame a filthy otaku.
on twitter, it’s like JK Rowling is gonna slap me with some half assed white corporate feminism and have her drones of cult followers come to shit on me for speaking.
or like blake shelton is gonna @ me for making fun of his music, and all of his fans are gonna light the fire under my feet.
it’s way different, being controversial on a mainstream media site.
tumblr’s a cesspit of stupidity, but it’s an obscure and strange cesspit of stupidity.
twitter’s a little too real.
trump and obama can have a rap battle on twitter and make it a part of us history.
tumblr isn’t the same way.
we all die in obscurity on tumblr, and i prefer it.
twitter feels like im in full sight of the snipers and i cant even duck behind a clown car to avoid them
On tumblr you’re in the clown car, hurtling towards a cliff at mach 3 with a few dozen others in the same car.
See, it’s metaphors like these that you can only get on Tumblr, that perfectly describe what it’s like being on Tumblr.
yesterday i drove by an elementary school in dc called Horace Mann Elementary and their mascot was a centaur and it took me a second to make the connection and when i did i i almost started screaming but i was in the car with my coworker who i don’t know very well so i had to silently suffer for what felt like hours. horse man
Y’all need to stop saying shit like “songs with the same bpm”
Beats per minute is a unit. The word you’re looking for is tempo.
If two songs have the same tempo, their bpm are equivalent.
You wouldn’t say two people of the same height have “the same inches.” You would say height. So stop saying two songs have “the same bpm” when you can just say tempo
I’m an assistant band director don’t argue with me
I have a music degree and taught for over a decade. You can say BPM or tempo it’s basically all the same. Don’t let the classical music snobs get you down
Oh no, I made a post voicing a pet peeve of mine and suddenly I’m a “classical music snob” even though I’ve been playing baroque flute for over a decade professionally…
Yeah I mean… Well there it is
I’m now going to refer to things that are the same height as having the same inches. I like that.
Tempo indications (either in-score or in reference/conversation) are often not as specific as bpm. You can technically say that two songs are the same tempo, for example, Allegretto vivace (fairly brisk and lively), without their bpms matching exactly, or without their having consistent bpms (plenty of songs do speed up and slow down). If you’re specifying bpm, you probably have a reason to; you might be trying to make a mashup, where it’d be inconvenient if not disastrous to combine two songs with equivalent tempi but slightly different bpms.
Analogically, if two people are the “same height”, they might be level to the naked eye or to a relatively well-calibrated measuring instrument, and they can for example both be pallbearers at the same funeral, but you’d probably want to know how many millimeters tall each one was if they were both going to, say, stand on a level surface under the surprise shot of a deadly horizontal laser (and we might try to stand behind the one with the extra 2mm).
I appreciate not only that you explained this in a way that I, a non musical fool, can understand, but also your incredibly gratuitous and yet desperately needed use of deadly horizontal lasers.
