Bluey discourse rolling into a conversation about ethical recycling is the reason we are here

[@christianschulte5527]

I’m fairly certain he is recycling the paper in the Bluey episode too so the whole conversation started from a misunderstanding

[@alanholloway6535]

50:40 For a realer answer, in 7/4 you generally feel 7 strong beats, and 7/8 is usually felt as 3 uneven beats, which in 8th notes are typically 2+2+3 (short-short-long) or 3+2+2 (long-short-short). Also, about 4 and vibes

In case anyone finds it useful, if you open a mega pack (two chioces per pack) you can take the first choice and skip the second to still get the bonus from red card

Yep, this is how I play red IF I am forced into it. Not a joker I'd just take unless my econ is pumping.

So, note about the comment of lying about your age to make a social media account. After having a Twitter account for, like, 12 years, where I did lie, I went back and reconfigured all my settings. Including my birthday. The amount was promptly disabled due to being made while underage. So, yeah, don't ever admit it.

[@birbeyboop]

I actually had the same thing happen to my old twitter account and eventually got it back by proving I was currently of age

[@theufua]

@@birbeyboop I was petitioning at first, but it got initially denied so I figured I was fucked and made a new account anyways. Then they came back and said the account was fine, so I was just like, "ok" lmao

[@yujiyujix]

hi tomo

[@LettuceGod1]

Btw there is an actual difference between 7/4 and 7/8 unlike some other time signatures. 7/4 would play like a 4/4 bar + a 3/4 bar, but 7/8 plays like a set of 3 8th notes, then 2 sets of 2 8th notes, all in one bar.

[@magneticflux-]

The difference is the same as every other difference between time signatures: engraving notation. I can write my shit in 7/1 time and it'll sound the exact same coming out of an MP3 player - whether someone would enjoy _performing_ it is a different story entirely.

Red card really expects a person opening mega packs... Take what you need, skip the second draw, still get the mult. If I am not mistaken, just skipping a mega doesn't give double the skips.

13:23 i am so confused on how this was a straight flush counting every card even though it was a four of hearts

[@philipshakkour6741]

he had a joker that enabled straights and flushes with 4 cards only. he used 4 diamonds ( 5 6 7 7) and 4 consecutive cards ( 4 5 6 7) thus the hand was both a straight and a flush= straight flush
