Music (and other art forms) happen to trigger our brains to shoot the same happy/sad/etc chemicals other less abstract physical experiences do, for reasons we don't completely understand. I'm utterly confused why being aware of them, or having the curiosity of wanting to learn more about it, is "what's going wrong with society". If anything, curiosity is one of the main things that kickstarted us as a species, and brushing it off to some abstract "deeper layers of human existence" like it was some sorcery we shouldn't dare try to understand would be way more concerning about our state as a society. As for the completeness of this particular theory... I mean, we are on /c/showerthoughts after all.

Jazz has patterns and repetition, like any interesting music genre. If it didn't, it'd be called noise. They just aren't as in your face and predictable as the ones employed by pop genres.
Polyrhythms and polymeters are still patterns. They're often harder to perceive and follow than your typical 4/4, but we're still searching for the beat and bobbing our heads to the complex patterns it creates.
That's not "self hosting" related tho lol
So American/NFL rules, apparently. CFL field including endzones is 8152m², NFL is 5350m².

Lufa has a pretty good concept. We used them for a while, in the middle of the pandemic, before we moved out of their coverage zone. Decent amount of dropoff points, we got a big reusable tub full of stuff every week. The pricing was comparable to buying at the grocery store, but the stuff was generally much fresher.
Oh, that's for sure. The thing is, you need to be open to the idea that there could be contradictions to realize they are there. If you approach your readings already believing that you are a mere sinner who, in the end, can't really understand God's Plan™, it gets easier to brush off the inconsistencies.
That's why I said "as a general rule". I'm not sure I would consider fundamentalists to be representative of your average Christian - their whole thing is Biblical literalism, after all... I was raised Catholic, in an era where we still had religious courses in school, and I can pretty safely say that pretty much nobody read it outside the bare minimum they had to for First Communion/Confirmation/wedding prep.
It desperately needs interface types if we ever hope to make it a serious contender for general purpose web development. The IO overhead of having to interface with JS to use any web API is itself pretty slow, and is limiting a lot of usecases.
Considering the community we are on, I assumed the criticism was more about the privacy problems surrounding the engine and browser security model than the quality of the language itself. If that was the intent, I mean... Yeah, its weak typing is a fucking mess.
The stuff like Flash, Java applets and Silverlight it eventually replaced were arguably even worse. There's a legitimate need to run client-side code at times, IMHO the mistake was making it so permissive by default. Blaming the language for the bad browser security model is kind of throwing away the baby with the bathwater.
Once the monopoly is in place, what's protecting said "reasonable cost for the consumer", exactly?
