(Posted byu/Yattazen, https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualConversation/comments/7sf9nf/why_are_people_on_reddit_so_quick_to_be_mean/)

". . . Why are people on Reddit so quick to be mean, hostile or angry when you post a comment? I always get anxiety whenever I post a comment because I feel like half the time I get someone replying with a snarky, hostile comment because of misdirected anger or they read my comment the wrong way. Why can't we ever converse, speculate or throw out a random thought without someone jumping on the 'you're an idiot' reaction? I could be talking about the most uninteresting, unimportant thing and someone will take it the wrong way or someone will go on a long rant about how you're wrong when all you wanted to do was write down what you're thinking and see if anyone else was thinking the same thing. I also feel this is how people branch off into niche groups an subreddits because no one challenges them - which, by the way I encourage - but also because it's a 'safe' space so to speak. I don't mind starting a topic of debate or criticism but when it's pure misdirected over the top anger, you have to wonder what is it that you're always doing so wrong. Edit: before any more people looking to make a fool out of themselves by doing exactly what I'm talking about in my post, I'd like to clarify I DON'T want to eradicate free speech, nor am I complaining about someone calling me names on the internet. I am just honestly curious and wanting to hear what other people have to offer on the reasons why we, as people and internet-er, are quicker to look down on someone on the internet than we are in real life. That is all. . ."

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Directory) 
". . . Napoleon Bonaparte (born Napoleone di Buonaparte; 15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. He was the de facto leader of the French Republic as First Consul from 1799 to 1804. As Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814 and again in 1815. Napoleon dominated European and global affairs for a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars. He won most of these wars and battles, building a large empire that ruled over continental Europe before its collapse in 1815. He was one of the greatest military commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied in military schools worldwide. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy has endured, and he has been one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in world history. . ."

Submitting my forthcoming album "Grains" for a review. If you must concentrate on only one track,  #6 Elephants, #7 Perfidy or #11 Baggage are recommended. Bio: The acoustic, baby grand piano is my tool of choice for constructing my original jazz melodies and improvisational piano music. But I also incorporate electronics, midi, synths, samples, etc into my recordings. When I'm not at the piano, I revel in the opportunity to make music with my long-time friends Jay (Graboski) and David (Reeve) as OHO, in the sacred tradition of that formidable, Baltimore-area musical collective.

Tell me please

What is ‘fungible’?

Tell me now

What is not.

What’s going on here

That’s so hot?

Anyone

Can buy a Monet print.

Only one

Gets the original,

Single definitive version.

 

What is this? An NFT.

What’s it for? It is

A work of art!

Just what gives?

Mom won’t understand.

Here’s the thing,

You just can’t 

Simply replace it easily.

But perchance

someone’s interested

In the dance,

They will find

their way onto 

The crowded floor.

Spending all of your cryptocurrency.

Call it art, cause you want it so to be.

Skeptical

And excited too.

What will be

It’s real worth?

Value’s subjective certainly.

But its clear

If someone wants to buy,

I can sell, 

‘cause it’s mine.

Burn up the blockchain

Touch the sky.

Pianoforte . . .

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pianoforte_Cristofori_1720.jpg

(from https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/cris/hd_cris.htm)

". . . The quiet nature of the piano’s birth around 1700, therefore, comes as something of a surprise. The first true piano was invented almost entirely by one man—Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655–1731) of Padua, who had been appointed in 1688 to the Florentine court of Grand Prince Ferdinando de’ Medici to care for its harpsichords and eventually for its entire collection of musical instruments. A 1700 inventory of Medici instruments mentions an “arpicimbalo,” i.e., an instrument resembling a harpsichord, “newly invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori” with hammers and dampers, two keyboards, and a range of four octaves, C–c”’. The poet and journalist Scipione Maffei, in his enthusiastic 1711 description, named Cristofori’s instrument a “gravicembalo col piano, e forte” (harpsichord with soft and loud), the first time it was called by its eventual name, pianoforte. A contemporary inscription by a Florentine court musician, Federigo Meccoli, notes that the “arpi cimbalo del piano e’ forte” was first made by Cristofori in 1700, giving us a precise birthdate for the piano. . ."
