Mozart also composed a musical piece that translates to "Lick me in the arse". The text rediscovered in 1991 consists of variations of the phrase "Lick me in the arse...quickly!" over and over. I just wanted to share that given the forum's name.
Truly a visionary.
A lot of people you read about who grew to be leaders in their field by some ridiculous age like 25, spoke fluently in 5 different languages, etc. etc. did so because they had three things: dedicated one-on-one tutors, an appreciable collection of slaves and/or other general servants to free up their personal time, and enough family wealth to pay for both from the time they could walk.
Mozart was composing as a toddler, but he also came from a wealthy family of musicians that taught him basically nothing else. Ever. That was the one thing. He hyper-specialized in music and socially he was the guy that got bored and did cartwheels and meowed in public. If Mozart was in your position, with the kind of loving care and finances most students have today, he would have been the kid in class who beatboxes over the teacher.
I'm actually still coming to terms with this myself. with mixed success. I've always loved art, but I've never been where I want to be. I've been making strides again, but the further I take it, the more it becomes apparent that 90% of the problems I've ever had with it were not me, they were because no one ever bothered to teach me. And I'm pissed about the decades I lost simply because child me was never shown concepts that would have changed everything.
Do not judge your own accomplishments on the same scale as someone who had ample time to devote to their studies because their family had house slaves doing everything you have to do by yourself.
Whilst his later work is unarguably genre defining it's also worth noting the style of music at the time had very defined rules and formulae.
Doesn't take away from an achievement but as you've pointed out it's very similar to math spelling programming prodigies if today.
Yeeep. Best thing I ever did was figure out how to learn on my own. Very few people are simply handed a proper education, even in good ol' rich USA.
It's hard as hell, and you NEED to learn to kick yourself (at least if you're stubborn like me) and realize when you're plain wrong. I think that's the biggest hurdle most have: grapling with the fact that they don't know what they're talking about.
Other than that, it's al heuristics: What do you know that might connect to something else you need to know? Then strengthen those connections until you're studying the direct topic some day.
Sure mate, you go ahead an keep believing that the reason you're not as good as Mozart is because you weren't given the tools... Otherwise!!
On the one hand, I feel really proud that I got under your skin so much that mine is the only contribution you've ever replied to in the 7 months that whole account has even existed. Someone just clearly isn't having a good day if that's the one thing that set off a professional lurker.
But also, like....I thought about this all through my quesadilla and it's just really sad? Is this like Incel Logic: Hobby Edition, where you're either born perfect and flawless or you're a permanent shit failure and therefore whichever way the coin falls, you never have to work at anything? Like Big Education is a trillion dollar industry now, and really society is divided up Airbender style and you just didn't get the CalArts gene?
There's only one kind of person I can see falling for this weak-ass angle, and it's the kind of person who's never taken up any recreation for more than 1-2 days in their whole life because they don't start out amazing at it and you can't fail at anything if you never do shit. And honestly, I'm kinda bummed out that you have to live like that. You know you can just look up tutorials for anything these days.
Don't worry, it all balances out - his family just min-maxed his character into music. Most of his stats were comically low. For example, Mozart was really bad at ordering food from a drive-through or even ordering a takeaway by phone or through an app.
Other things Mozart was shit at:
He couldn't do a single one of those things. You can probably do at least two of them. So what if he beats you at music?
He also died at 35. Suck my balls mozart I win
I'm 36, and I'm confident it's all downhill from here. We sure we're winning?
Not for me its not. I think you're gonna start having some real fun soon as well.
Yeah, I'm just playing around, I lean toward the morbid because it's a great way to cope with my rapidly approaching demise.
Being married with kids in my mid 30s is actually pretty freeing, all things considered. Yes, the kids are a gigantic burden, but I'm free of much of the social and societal words that exist from like 15-25 ±2 years. And we're in peak nostalgia as our childhood and adolescent years seem to have come back in vogue, and I can say yeah, I was there.
I want 4 number twos, 2 number sevens, 7 number twos, and a banana split, with a real banana this time damnit!
Reposting a classic, cause I'm trying to watch my figure.
Shove two of the nuggets up your ass.
Mozart also wrote a song called "lick me in the asshole," which I thought I came up with alone in the shower one day just singing random words. 🤷🏻♂️
Oh that Mozart. What a scamp.
A class I took in high school, music history (and subsequently music theory) really stuck with me. I remember odd tidbits to this day, like Berlioz and col legno, and the inspiration for the Jaws theme coming from Dvorak. I guess I was absent the day we went over Leck mich im Arsch, so thanks for learning me today.
Good luck at the drive thru! I believe it you!
Drive thru places need to install better mic and speakers. They seem to be difficult for either side to hear.
And drive thru employees need to be more patient with the customers.
Just do the whole order using the NATO alphabet for clarity.
I'd like a bravo india golf, mike alpha charlie, with Lima alpha romeo golf echo, foxtrot romeo india echo sierra.
After you've been ordering for 20 minutes, they'll do something about it.. Although that might not be a good thing for you.
or drive-throughs can get fucked and we can go back to actually going inside places to eat
We have modern technology, walking into a fast food joint and ordering from a touch screen is by far the superior experience.
ordering on your phone is even better sometimes aside from the companies that shove their app in your face or make you log in. as a bonus, you don't have to use the same screen everyone else to ever walk into that store used
if only their apps didn't specifically go out of their way to detect that i'm running lineageOS and REFUSE to work
like straight up, mcdonald's app told me to my face that it refused to run on a modified OS
You win some, you lose some, that is the nature of life. Like those folks who were bombed on their rooftops despite having no food or water. We are already in paradise compared to them.
