I've said it before and I'll say it again. Painting with broad brushstrokes usually results in nothing more than making messes and unnecessarily splashing people with shades they do not deserve. It serves no one well. Life is not clean and tidy, not always black and white. It is nuanced and there is light and darkness and shadows. There are grey areas and it is rarely simple and easily tied up with a pretty bow. Just because something is most suitable for one doesn't mean it is for anyone else; nor does it need to be. Further, it really is possible to disagree agreeably and respectfully. One doesn't always need to obliterate other opinions or people in order to bolster their own. No cause is ultimately served well when one's own anger is characterized as righteous while that of others is simply dismissed by saying people are whining. I know nothing will come of this. I know I'm whistlin' in the wind as the dad of a dear friend says; but I just had to say something knowing all the while it, will, not, matter.

I am one who loves to learn, appreciates good food, good fellowship, good music and tries to find and add to the beauty in the world.
Oh Lord please grant me wisdom and restraint. Please, please, please. I should not weigh on in, no good will come of it none at all absolutely none and yet staying silent feels disingenuous also.

@vol4life8657 Awwwww #RobinBirdie I love that legend it makes me smile every Christmas
Andre LouisTis the season for giving, but this is free all year round anyway.
It's sometimes hard to find free assets such as music for that random thing you wanted to do with a friend, or to make your next presentation stand out.
Perhaps you need some lesser-known music for your business, and don't want to have the same on-hold music found on almost every PBX around the world.
Maybe I can help.
Here's a post from my music account with more information.

Here's a collection of free-to-use short music for any kind of project imaginable. I've been working on this project for over 10 years on and off, and it's a labour of love. Whether you're doing work for TV, Radio, Film, your next podcast, show reel, powerpoint presentation, youtube video or university assignment that requires something to intro or outro it, there should be something for you, and if not you directly, maybe someone you know. This is not the final form. I add to it whenever I find inspiration to do so. Check back every so often as you may find more content was added when you weren't looking 🔇 Currently: 1210 items 766 MB download in mp3 over 9 hours of music. Absolutely no AI was used (or harmed) in the making of this collection. If you feel so inclined, please do boost for reach. Many thanks. https://onj.me/shorts
So much one could say in response but it'd literally do no good at all.
Ewww, it smells rather skunk like outside. Either that or refinery fumes going sideways which is entirely possible as there are some oil refineries not too far from me.
I just read something that literally makes no sense to me. The beauty of this is, I don't have to make sense of it at all.
