https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions.html | i used to love studying linguistics but now that i have to study linguistics i cant seem to enjoy it at all, why is the brain like this and how do i fix it | that's because you're creative, but i don't know how to fix that |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions.html | apologies if this is a stupid question. you mentioned not liking emojis because they aren't 'reliably consistent' -- do you have similar apprehensions about how people access your music? e.g. if i listen to a song of yours in a car vs on a speaker in a gym vs with headphones at home- do you think the experience is still consistent? and regardless- does this matter to you? | the worst thing that can happen to audio is maybe the bass will disappear. sure, that's bad, but, it's not as bad as the whole song being replaced with an empty box. which is what happens when an emoji doesn't work |
