The actor John Gielgud believed that of all Shakespeare's characters Hamlet is probably the one most like Shakespeare himself - since, of all Shakespeare's characters, only Hamlet can be imagined to have written all the Shakespearean plays. How good an understanding of Hamlet's character does Gielgud's belief reflect?
pretty good, i assume.  the guy seems to be a huge fan of shakespeare, and also seems pretty thoughtful, so i trust he knows his shit

how do you website
make html pages using text, then save them in a folder. then you have to buy hosting and a domain name, and get an FTP program to upload the files to the site.  simple html is actually really easy, you can pretty much just copy from examples (from sites like w3schools) and change things until it's what you want.  that being said, if you are learning things by yourself and doing it from scratch, the website will probably look like it was made by a 13 year old in 1997.

Do you think that your strong desire to finish all that you do (songs etc.) is dictated by the system, which institutes productivity as a god tier value? (you are free to use your life as you want to, and not finishing things is no big deal)

Is the internet affected by gravity and why?
gravity keeps all of the computers and servers from flying into space. so i guess that helps. but as long as we could tie them down, the content would not change due to gravity, except for maybe the gravity measuring websites

hey this isn't really a question but I really like in "i'm crazy/it's raining" how you switch up the feel/style in the different verses. it sounds really cool how you leave space in the second verse and then get more "dense" kinda, like in the beginning of "I don't want to go to school" as well
this is standard music procedure. if you have 2 verses, you almost always want to have more 'stuff' in the second one, whereas the first one should have just the bare essentials
