$80 Billion

That’s the expected cost to taxpayers over 10 years from Obama’s proposed free tuition plan, the White House admitted Friday.

[geeksofdoom]

That’s about the cost of 8 months of war in Iraq. Seems like a much better investment of my tax dollars to me.

[tashabilities]

I bolded

[seananmcguire]

It’s amazing how 80 billion isn’t worth mentioning when it’s about killing people, but is suddenly a huge, horrifying barrier when it’s about improving lives.

[chocobroh]

I’d still pay for it this. I’d be the one good thing my taxes would be going towards. Cause it sure ain’t going to infrastructure or schools at this rate »

[linaevelovesyou]

#is this number meant to scare me? #80 billion over ten years #so 8 billion a year #divided by the total number of tax payers in america #in 2013 there were 242 million taxpayers #so going off that number#it would cost the average american taxpayer $33 a year #wow so scary what a horrible way to spend $33

amen. this is, what, dinner and drinks at a mediocre sit-down restaurant for two? I’d spare it.

But sometimes there were good times. Okay, we didn’t work, and all memories to tell the truth aren’t good. Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep beside me and never dreamed afraid. There should be stars for great wars like ours.

when i was younger i had a really bad fear of Labour MP Ed Balls when i was going to sleep so my older brother gave me a watch that he set to like 8 hours ahead so that it was always daytime on the watch when i was asleep and he told me it would confuse Labour MP Ed Balls and he would think it was daytime and get scared of the sun and leave me alone

Fun Story: My director kept telling me and my tenor sax buddy to play softer. No matter what we did, it wasn’t soft enough for him. So getting frustrated, I told my buddy “Dont play this time. Just fake it” 

Our Band Director then informed us we sounded perfect. 

[fororchestra]

To my readers: “p” means quiet, “pp” means really quiet. I’ve never seen “pppp” before haha.

On the contrast, “f” means loud, and “ffff” probably means so loud you go unconscious.

[corruptbucky]

I had ffff in a piece once and my conductor told me to play as loudly as physically possible without falling off my chair…

[justtkeepcalmm-deactivated20250]

Me and my trombone buddies had “ffff” and he sat next to me and played so hard that he fell out of his chair.

The lengths we go for music.

[lady-gorthaur]

Okay yeah so I play the bass clarinet and the amount of air you have to move and the stiffness of the reed means it only has two settings and that is loud and louder, with an optional LOUDEST that includes a 50% probability of HORRIBLE CROAKING NOISE which is the bass equivalent of the ubiquitous clarinet shriek.

[elsajeni]

One day, when I was in concert band in high school, we got a new piece handed out for the first time, and there was a strange little commotion back in the tuba section — whispering, and pointing at something in the music, and swatting at each other’s hands all shhh don’t call attention to it. And although they did attract the attention of basically everyone else in the band, they managed to avoid being noticed by the band director, who gave us a few minutes to look over our parts and then said, “All right, let’s run through it up to section A.”

And here we are, cheerfully playing along, sounding reasonably competent — but everyone, when they have the attention to spare, is keeping an eye on the tuba players. They don’t come in for the first eight measures or so, and then when they do come in, what we see is:

[stifled giggling]

[reeeeeeally deep breath]

[COLOSSAL FOGHORN NOISE]

The entire band stops dead, in the cacophonous kind of way that a band stops when it hasn’t actually been cued to stop. The band director doesn’t even say anything, just looks straight back at the tubas and makes a helpless sort of why gesture.

In unison, the tuba players defend themselves: “THERE WERE FOUR F’S.”

FFFF is not really a rational dynamic marking for any instrument, but for the love of all that is holy why would you put it in a tuba part.

Oh man, so I play trombone, and we got this piece called Florentiner Marsch by Julius Fucik, and we saw this

which is 8 fortes. We were shocked until,

that is 24 fortes who the fuck does that

“This says it all.

“In the mainstream Baltimore media and all over social media, people were posting these pictures yesterday supposedly showing white people defending each other against Black protesters and thieves. The racists on the internet were going nuts calling people ‘animals.’

“Thanks to social media, however, we get the real story: these pictures are actually of white protesters fighting with a provocative white racist woman; and she was actually trying to take the Black man’s bag (not the other way around!) 

“The media loves the story of a ‘race riot,’ when in fact you had a diverse crowd confronting a bunch of drunk racists.”

Via Ben Becker

[murdock-rogers]

hey, i haven't been online for awhile, could you tell me all that's happened with Baltimore? I hope you're safe!

Thanks anon, I’m okay. 

Basically what’s been going down so far is this:

4/12/15: Freddie Gray, 25, was apprehended and arrested by police. [More about the arrest here]. This video of his arrests surfaced here.

4/19/15: Freddie Gray dies as a result of forceful trauma. 80 percent of his spine was severed.

U.S. Dept. of Justice opens investigation into his death. 

4/22/15: peaceful protests take place in Baltimore, MD.

4/24/15: police admit that mistakes were made in the arrest and death of Gray.

4/25/15: More peaceful protesting takes place. 

4/26/15: Protesting starts to take a violent turn.

4/27/15: Freddie Gray laid to rest. Peaceful protesters are out numbered by those wishing to create destruction. Baltimore Orioles call off game vs. White Sox. Baltimore City Public Schools to close on Tuesday 4/28. Looting, burning, and injuries to innocent have begun. State of emergency declared. National guard ordered into the city. Curfew put in place for 10 p.m.- 5 a.m. from 4/28-5/5. Governor and POTUS collaborating. 

This has all happened so far that I may have missed something but a Google/Twitter search will bring you up to speed fairly quickly. The media though has framed this in the wrong light. The main message has been lost and Baltimore is burning because of it.

[murdock-rogers]

Now the Governor is blaming the Mayor for everything that’s happened.

Mayor uses the word ‘thug’ on nationally televised news program, and on her twitter.

New senior center is set aflame downtown.

The leadership has failed this city. It’s chaos down there right now. Media is making everything worse.

i wonder if my pets have like a proper language and when i try to speak back to them im just speaking jargon

like for example my cat always speaks to me when I come home and i meow back to her and she’ll meow again & even though i don’t think twice about it to her it’s probably a situation where it’s like

her, meowing: “im glad you’re home”

me, meowing back: “tax benefits”

her, meowing: “why do u always do this”

It’s like I’m reading a book… and it’s a book I deeply love. But I’m reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you… and the words of our story… but it’s in this endless space between the words that I’m finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world. It’s where everything else is that I didn’t even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can’t live in your book any more.
