Staying true to the centuries-old library concept, only one patron at a time can rent a digital copy of a physical book for a limited period.

So sad that we solved the problem of knowledge scarcity, and because of greed we need to add it back artificially.

Because wait staff can be (and are) paid less than minimum wage due to the tips.

No one needs an AR-15 for self defense.

Ugh, I had a trans coworker who was conservative. Had an AR-15 "to defend herself", and was against non-binary people and immigrants. Joined the police as a volunteer, and was doxxed for hanging out with some white supremacists.

I signed up for a 2-hour Ableton class that was being offered at work. Not sure why, it just caught my attention. I was amazed by how the instructor could write a cool song in just a couple minutes! I had no idea that was possible.

That's how I started, I bought Ableton and a small MIDI keyboard. Followed tutorials on YouTube and started writing a song every week for the song-a-week subreddit. I took a few online classes on music production and kept learning.

A few things that clicked for me:

• I don't have to do EDM just because I'm using Ableton and all the YouTube tutorials are about EDM. I can make ambient.
• Notes sound better when they're not quantized.
• There are no wrong notes to play.
• Finishing songs is really important.

Done! Thanks for the tip!
