Ehh.

Best way to get over the idea of being a cheap brand is sell something for a high price that people actually buy, and on top of that hopefully rave about it.

I use to have used a lot of Motorola phones in my life with the last being a Moto G. Amazing phones. Features like chop flashlight and double tap to turn of screen were game changers. The speed and graphics were on par with what I needed. Great phones.

But do I as a consumer see Motorola as a "flagship" phone. If you gave me unlimited money to buy a phone would I go out and have gotten the top of the line Motorola over my S25+? It could possibly be comparable to the S25 Ultra. I don't even know why I would need an S25 Ultra. But I don't know what the top of the line Motorola phone is or was at that time.

This could change that. And that is what they need because they do make great phones in my experience.

Honestly shitposting is better with AI. Someone is going to get chewing plates randomly when they go to design a "Perfect Human" because an AI will see this image and "think", ha I don't have to do 32 individual teeth to be perfect.

An anti-ai team that trains the models poorly is better than an anti-ai team that just whines on the bench.

There are 10 Charizard Pokémon cards in existence (# of outstanding stock)

Each card is worth $100 today, $1,000 total value

Tomorrow the price falls to $90, $900 total value

$100 was "wiped"

If the charizard card is worth $80, $90, $100, or $110 will continue to play out.

If it did the opposite and price of each card went to $110 then you could say $100 was "injected" into the market.

Very far from it or I'd definitely check it out

Handbells are definitely underrated as an instrument

I enjoyed playing them they sound so nice

I know the proper way to ring and hold a note for handbells. I have very good rhythm and I can keep time without a metronome perfectly. But none of it is really knowledge on why I am playing a F#.

Like can I play handbells, yes. But do I really know how to play them. Not really.

Nope just random photo on internet I could find with my sized bells ha

Like those.

Sheet music in front of me with my notes circled in respective colors. For example, my F# bell would be blue. So when a blue note would be coming up I knew I needed to get my F# bell ready and ring it when the time comes.

If you removed the colors I couldn't begin to play. Well, I could figure it out because I know some basic music theory now. But I'd definitely want to color them after I figured out which bell was which.

The way I played handbells was equivalent to like a dozen people sitting at a piano and each getting only a handful of keys to play when they come up. If I only had to worry about hitting 4 or 5 piano keys when they came up in a piano song I could do it lol wouldn't say I could play piano though.

If I could play the piano by coloring notes and keys and treating it like guitar hero. Is that being able to play the piano?

I use to play handbells and I'd color my notes for my different bells. It was basically exactly like guitar hero. I wouldn't really say I could play handbells, I can manage 4 or 5 large bells that ring a couple times here and there. Like a solo part with a ton of little bells and stuff, nope.

I've always thought of the idea "When can you say you know how to play the piano"

If I know all the correct keys to hit for 1 song? 2,3,4 songs...

If I can read any sheet music and play

If I can come up with my own music

For example my brother can sit down at the piano and play the Fur Elise. He cannot read sheet music and I'm sure it's not done technically right all the way through. But can he play the piano? When does he get to say he can play the piano? 15 songs? Guitar players do not have to learn to read sheet music and if a person could play 15 songs on guitar you'd probably would say they could play the guitar fairly well.

I can bake cookies from my favorite recipe, I just don't understand the food science behind it. Just like not understanding all the music theory behind a piano piece

Kind of like if you gave a master piano player a piano with a single broken key and told them to play a song. (With my limited music understanding) they could play the song using a different "key" to avoid the broken key.

A master chef could do something similar where it's like "I only have this type of flour, I better adjust..."
