For vocalists in Western music traditions, the steps of a major scale (doesn’t matter the key) go by the names Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do instead of just 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 the way most other musicians refer to them.

They are saying that in the song ABC by the Jackson Five, the notes they sing in that relative key when they say “Do Re Mi” are actually “So La Do”

That used to be really common. Movie novelizations would come out before the movie, along with soundtracks, etc. It was part of the promotional campaign.

Horrible way to display this.

In states with no income taxes and mostly regressive taxes like sales taxes and other consumption tax, the rich with large income (who always disproportionately account for all income in any state) pay a very low share of their income in taxes. Some people will be paying 10% of their income in taxes because their entire income is spent every month and taxed as consumption (sales taxes). While others pay only 2% of their income in taxes because a good portion of their income goes into savings and tax-free retirement accounts and not on consumption.

Meanwhile states with a progressive income tax ensure that (closer to) everyone pays a more fair share of their income. So the rich end up paying more of their income. While lower income families pay a lower sales tax rate (and/or are able to see the benefits of better social programs funded by the taxes on the wealthy)

I wonder if this has anything to do with ThePosterDB going down recently

That’s awesome. Bookmarked!

From what I can see in your post history, you haven’t commented on a single one. I think I know at least part of why they’re dead. Maybe that’s a Lemmy account thing where I can’t see it though.

But I can’t say that I have gotten a few responses when I’ve been posting. Not always live during a game, but the beginnings are there, considering it’s still preseason.

From what I’m seeing, the image itself is just 128x128. I don’t use those clients, but it looks like they would render any square image that way (taking up a lot of space). Looks like a client problem, not OPs problem maybe?

Find people to talk to. If you can multitask taking to them while doing something, do it. But if you can give a good conversation some dedicated time it helps.

There’s ‘serious’ talk like a therapist, but even just basic ‘whatever’ talking with friends and acquaintances helps me get out of my own head.
