Well, there’s another few steps, of course. Because at some point, operating along lines of logic that worked out perfectly so far, you did decide to be a mammal. A mammal is a machine for adapting...

@stavvers Oh my god all my Facebook posts are going to start with this now.
@stavvers this makes me even angrier about the fact that we spent half of my first ever music lesson in school learning the correct way to draw a treble clef.
@The4thCircle omg same, and because of that I can probably draw a better one than literally any of them, an entirely useless skill
@stavvers I'm calling it, this makes us better composers than any of those try hards.
@The4thCircle @stavvers
It needs to indicate the G, Beethoven's is a perfectly good G-clef. Sorry I'm taking this seriously.

@floppyplopper

I never knew that. What is the bass clef meant to look like/indicate?

@The4thCircle

You can see some of the early forms of the G-clef when you scroll down to the history.

@The4thCircle
I asked around my work recently and I'm one of only 2 people who can read music. Deeply sad, all of the knowledge and culture locked away in not participatory social norms.
@floppyplopper
I'd love to learn to read music and play music, and draw, and sculpt and speak French and German and Swedish... But there's only so many hours in the day you know?
@The4thCircle
so long as you do one of those things that's great!
@floppyplopper reading now about how these symbols developed I'm actually questioning some of these clefs even more. They don't seem to be specifying a single line. Some of them have a main loop which barely contains the G line or contains multiple lines...

@The4thCircle
I think this is all manuscript, it just needs to be legible to a publisher who probably is used to interpreting rough manuscripts. If it was for performance that would may be different. These are unambiguously good G-clefs for what they need to do.

Mozart composed freehand and simply published with very few corrections. Very different to the manuscript of an author which would have gone through several revisions.

@stavvers oh god this is brilliant!
@susan_lanigan If I ever met OP, I would not just shake her hand, but curtsey to her
@stavvers I'd love a Gen X equivalent, they're even worse than the boomer dads.
@stavvers Mix up They Might Be Giants and the Foo Fighters
@susan_lanigan oh my GOD the fun you could have by declaring everything Nirvana
@stavvers or everything Nirvana something else. Lithium by REM
@susan_lanigan Could get extra fun by ALWAYS switching nirvana/foo fighters and then innocently pointing out 'look, Grohl is in the band right' "yeah" 'so it's gotta be [whichever is incorrect out of nirvana/foo fighters] right?' and then mute the screams of anguish and rage.
@susan_lanigan @stavvers I'm 52, father of two; my youngest is 19. My generation is mostly a bunch of assholes who swore they'd never turn out like their parents, but did anyways. I love how the younger generations troll the hell out of my generation and older. It makes my day hearing things like this
British scientists don't like Richard Dawkins, finds study that didn't even ask questions about Richard Dawkins | The Independent

The investigation into science's public image didn't even ask about the atheist professor, but it got an answer anyway

The Independent
@stavvers he’s become a bit of an embarrassment to the atheist movement.

That's what it says. "A horrible person." We weren't even testing for that.

@stavvers when he has been as much of an arrogant hateful douche as he has for so long, it is zero percent surprising.
@stavvers how is this one like 95% of my scrapes in my 20s??
@BethanyBlack The Universal Lesbian Condition

@stavvers weirdly I once tried chatting up a woman and fucked it up so badly as one thing led to another her husband left her for me, and I spent 6 months in a relationship with the guy.

I’m so glad in the end I married my flatmate who I could UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DATE, according to all my friends.

@BethanyBlack I am shaking, this is such a fucking mood, I have never been *quite* so bad but I applaud you

@stavvers I adore this post so much.

And to the first reply I had kind of the opposite happen, I once ordered a huge silicone gun because I had some large sized tubes of sealant, and the seller wrapped it as such that it looked like I’d bought a 24” dildo with an 8” girth. The postman thought it was hilarious

@stavvers that last comment, 🤣😂, poor guy. 🤗
@stavvers politely but awkwardly returning someone's lost dick is what it means to live in a society.
@stavvers nudging a lost dick over with barely a word is peak masc solidarity

@stavvers
Missus and I were once discussing the (new to us) concept of being unipolar and she pauses for a second, growls "I feel shitty" then flexes like she's about to go Super Saiyan and adds "REAL SHITTY!" and that's kinda what those stories remind me of.

It also nearly made me cough up a lung laughing.
