This is true. Certain countries actively suppress certain ideologies. This is part of why I prefaced my statement with "as long as you didn't do/don't do anything illegal".

As long as you didn't do/don't do anything illegal, there's no harm in learning about different ideologies.

Make sure the heat isn't running, and use a hose attachment with bristles on your vacuum.

1. Unethical

2. I know that mine at least has a requirement that if you use it, you continue to use it, and they can revert the discount if you stop using it

Really?

Do you not recognize the difference between "let's eat grandma" and "let's eat, grandma"?

Your friend probably recognized you weren't in a "normal" state and didn't want to take advantage of you, because even if you say you want it, and even if in a "normal" state you would want to, it'd legally be considered rape.

I said mostly mainstream.

Yeah, the bass is definitely turned up in the mix, but it's not egregious. Another one with a solid, identifiable bass track is Self Esteem by the Offspring.

Artists like Busta Rhymes and Wu Tang Clan push the bass way up in the recording and mixing process, to the point that on really cheap speakers that can't handle it well, it sounds like mud. Some of the best bands for getting a good bass that isn't overpowering include Gorillaz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rush.

It's basically all rock and mainstream/"radio-friendly" hip-hop. There are plenty of genres that are completely absent from this list.

You listen to mostly mainstream music and are likely under 30.

I will keep in mind your preference for metal with these recommendations, and hopefully you'll recognize a few of these bands.

• The Sound of Silence by Disturbed

• Swing Life Away by Rise Against

• The Green Fields of France (No Man's Land) by the Dropkick Murphys

• Roads Untraveled by Linkin Park (there's even an instrumental version of this song available on Spotify, which I would recommend)

• Billie Jean by Chris Cornell

• The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix

• Silent Lucidity by Queensryche

• Beth by KISS

• Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam

• Everlong (Acoustic version) by Foo Fighters

• A Symptom of Being Human by Shinedown

• Where Did You Sleep Last Night by Nirvana (the MTV Unplugged version)

• Heaven Beside You by Alice in Chains (the MTV Unplugged version)

• Lifeline (Acoustic version) by Papa Roach

• Patience by Guns 'N' Roses

Edited to fix a spelling error

That one's on LZ III, lol. Banjo kicks in at 1:05, clear as a bell.

At 2:09, once the drums and bass come in stronger, I can hear another banjo part as well.

Which song? I'll pull it up real quick and pop in my Pixel Buds Pro.

I would make two counter-arguments: OP does mention they're using AirPod Pros, I would say that the 'phone manufacturer' Pro models (both the AirPod and Pixel Bud Pros) are very good for a beginner who is just starting out with ear training. If they had more experience and were looking to get beyond just enjoyment/understanding of music, then spring for quality, corded, over-ear headphones.

Also, internet-based playback mechanisms are fine (for beginners). Most of them have high-quality modes (I'm most familiar with Spotify because that what I use for basic day-to-day music enjoyment, and their high-quality playback is restricted to Premium members). What you don't want is one with ads.

Softer genres will definitely help. Metal is one of the genres of music that is known for a phenomenon called "wall of sound". Essentially everything is so loud that it's difficult to ascertain individual parts, or even the melody of the song. If you're trying to do ear training, it helps to pick a single instrument within the song, and focus solely on that instrument when you listen, and listen to the same song 2 or 3 times in a row, focusing on that one instrument. Then, repeat the process with another instrument. I can provide you some songs that are by bands you may like that would definitely help you with ear training, if you wish.

because the two suns are emitting the light from a similar angle, and one is the dominant light source.

Ok, just wanted your opinion. Among my musically-inclined friends, it's roughly 50/50 as far as whether the "Yeah!" in Won't Get Fooled Again counts as an early iteration of "screamo".

Would that count the "Yeah!" in Won't Get Fooled Again? Or are you saying more like Given Up by Linkin Park with the last "misery"?

The ending chord of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails

The high-pitched chirp throughout Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park (when I was in high school, I would listen to the radio at a very low volume while trying to fall asleep, and if that song came on, it would freak me out. Then I'd realize it was that song, grumble, and start trying to fall asleep again)

Pretty sure she's your ex at this point. I hope I'm wrong though.

Let's be real though... Has John Williams ever done anything poorly?

I always get a bag of chocolate and a bag of fruit-flavored candy.

Partly because I'm a sucker for Skittles LOL.

Yeah, he did a damn good job.

My memory may be foggy, but I thought that movie was underrated.
