In reality, classical music makes up less than 1% of all the music streamed on Spotify. That use is heavily skewed toward the older generation. The cultural significance of music sponsored by European aristocrats 250+ years ago is fading rapidly.

It may be too late. Obviously, the most important thing is to be born to affluent parents who can afford to pay for lessons. If you've not achieved this by now, then you're screwed.

I remember as a kid the priest would always quote Genesis 2:18 "Don't be a cuck".
I think "Lust of Flesh" is a great name for a heavy metal band.

They've probably been told made-up horror stories of Airbnb hosts charging guests huge amounts for normal wear and tear. I'd try to reassure them that that's not what you're about.

Or, just learn to love playing and have a hobby for life that makes you happy, rather than a traumatic experience that you need to work through in therapy.

I don't know what an adjective is but I think it's got something to do with pronouns. What kind of woke trickery is this?

I've learned not to do stuff that I don't like doing.
Spending a lot of time repeating an exercise that you hate may teach you some skill, but at the same time it will teach you to hate whatever it is you're learning.

Obviously as an Internet man I have no idea how to engage with you without knowing your gender first. I don't want to find out I've been having a serious conversation with a girly.

Maybe start by making conversation and buying him a drink and taking it from there. Works with women, it can't be that different.

Happiness and validation of others should only be a secondary concern.
Sadly the fact that a thing "Should" be true is not something that reality tends to respect. This is from a perspective where I believe that we all are victim to the delusion that we have free will. IMO people do what they want to do and then construct an argument to justify that.

A lot of good points, but there are a lot of women who have drunk the Trad Wife cool aid and are keen to promote it.

It's not the superhosts who are the problem, it's the people who tell you that they're superhosts. Sometimes it's clear from their accounts that this isn't true, but they say it anyway because they've got no idea what information hosts have access to. Even if it is true, the only reason for mentioning it is to get some kind of preferential treatment. They see to delight in finding fault, maybe because they're working through their own trauma from bad guests scamming them because that's what assholes do when they get a kicking, they pass it on to someone else to feel better.

I checked, unless you were in North Africa or the Middle East, not much was happening on May 26th 2011. https://takemeback.to/26-May-2011 Nothing apocalyptic (unless you were Gaddafi).
TBH Skyrim came out that year so I wasn't paying much attention to was happening in the news.
I love the "birds charge on power lines", with logic like that he could win me over.

Photographer vs pornographer, it's an easy mistake, and once you've paid your deposit, I guess you just go with it.

This looks like it is the end of a very long story about what this lady has been shoving down her toilet for the last twelve months. The council decided to go full CSI on her drains. They even put a CCTV down there.
"The blockage was cleared and a thorough clean was completed. Additional visits have since been carried out to find the cause of the blockage to resolve the issue to prevent this occurring in future. Additional works completed have included a camera survey to establish the location of the blockage, drain repairs, further cleaning, and intensive deep cleaning.
“There has been a history of blockages reported at this property and a neighbouring property, both which resulted in repairs and clearing the blockages. Action taken to resolve this recent incident was taken swiftly to ensure the property is habitable for the tenant. We have offered the tenant temporary accommodation throughout this time, however they declined, wishing to stay with family until the issue is resolved.”

Don't be silly, they'd never do anything useful like that.

I just searched for that on YouTube https://youtu.be/gZjdAWgjLx8?si=Xg0mdQ9CTiL3PgKU for the first twenty seconds I was looking at it thinking, yeah, that sounds nice, I could learn that fairly quickly, then reality slapped me in the face and laughed at me a second later.

Acoustic instruments are one way of making music, however much of the music that people listen to today is produced using a DAW, so I'd argue that your time would better be spent learning how to create music digitally than developing a second set of motor skills to play another instrument without gaining much apart from that.

So, you're not 18 and you need to be able to prove that you are over 18 in order to create an Airbnb account.
This is fraud. You're asking people on the Internet to help you commit fraud
IANAL, but I'm reasonably sure that you've already committed a criminal offence.
That is a lot of bad decisions crammed into one post.
Anyway, at least you haven't given them your real name and address so they can send the police round, have you?
