    We removed many comments, since its a blanket term used to demonize leftists, like “commie”, and carry out anti-communist witch-hunts (the instance you’re currently on blocks the major leftist lemmy servers, so we’re seeing a lot of witch-hunters).

    Its kinda similar to going to a non-theist forum, and asking, “hey everyone, what’s a heathen?” And a lot of the answers then demonize these supposed “heathens”.















  • Completely unnecessary. Vegan chefs are wizards nowadays, and can show you how to make replacements for everything you need.

    I make vsteak, and vchicken in large amounts about once per week, and use it in recipes. I can share the recipes I use if you like. I make vbacon about once per month, its a bit more labor intensive, but it tastes great.

    Even apart from ethics, its 10x cheaper, and doesn’t contain any of the puss, blood, and feces that come in your meats currently.




  • Lazychinese is really the only good channel / site that I’ve found. But it needs a lot more content, especially at the beginner levels. I’m having trouble making the jump from beginner to intermediate, because there isn’t enough content there yet.

    There’s a YT channel called comprehensible mandarin that has a lot of content, but unfortunately none of it is organized by difficulty, which makes it impossible to use. You should really be understanding like 90% of the content, and if you can’t, you should bump down to a lower difficulty.

    If anyone has any other good recs, I’d also like to know.



  • Both of course, but as a life-long musician, listening / reading / getting input is the first and most important step.

    If someone has never heard a guitar before, and you hand them one, they’ll have no basis for how or what to play. Instead how people learn, is they listen, then imitate, just like language. Mastery comes not through try / fail / correction, but through listening then playing a lot of different music, so that it becomes completely internalized and occurs without active thought. They call this the suzuki method, and its much preferred nowadays over the traditional method of memorizing scales, the circle of fifths, , which I unfortunately wasted years of my early music learning through.

    After playing jazz for a few years now, I couldn’t even imagine how skinner’s method would work for that. Jazz is too complicated to think about or logic your way through, just like language.
