It feels like you didn't read the 2nd half of their comment. They do practice. They have a creative side that they want to explore, but they don't enjoy that sort of grind. Instead, they like tinkering and combining tools in interesting ways. I don't think this is a bad thing.
Leo Fender didn't play guitar and always wished that he'd sit down and devoted the time, but never actually enjoyed it. But to say that Leo didn't contribute to the music world, would be insane.

The slight roll to your finger that others have mentioned sounds like pretty good advice to me. I'd also try playing songs that you are already comfortable with in a barred position. For example, playing a classic I-IV-V progression (like G, C, & D or A, D, & E) at the 3rd and 5th fret. There is much less resistance at that part of the neck, and it pulls your hand in closer which can straighten our the muscles in your arm a bit if you have a smaller frame; this makes for less stress for your muscles across your list and the base of your thumb. So, while you develop the technique with less factors fighting against you, you can focus just on that technique, and not on learning a new song, or really feeling like you are having to work on something completely new - just different - which can make for a better mindset as well.
There is absolutely truth to the saying "The best way to make a million dollars is to first spend 2 million dollars." However, I think Zuckerberg is an exception more than a rule. That is, the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars.
I was really active in that sub at the time. Fox or CNN or something contacted the moderators about an interview. The mods discussed it and decided to decline. IIRC, they later made a post about not accepting interviews until they felt they were more ready to present clear goals, and maybe pull someone from the community to be a "official" spokesperson.
Then a mod went rogue and did the now infamous Fox interview. That was bad, but recoverable. It was further shenanigans by the moderators in the immediate aftermath that caused the schism into work_reform. Before my exodus from reddit, I followed that community closely, but never got as involved. At the time, I remember thinking that the mods felt more reasonable than in antiwork, but that quickly changed too. Eventually they effectively became mirror subs.
Then RIF got shut down and someone told me about this lemmy federation where I could post about all the gay space communism and fringe technology I wanted. I think that I am happier now overall.
HTML parsers scare me. I already knew it was a big job, but this blog post sealed the deal that HTML, err.. the web's interpretation of HTML(?), is one heck of a mess.

Ok, you are entitled to your opinion, but the claim was that Christian churches and Christian church goers weren't being targeted or "demonized," which I've shown is false. Both with an example from yesterday morning, and an aggregate data set which shows some level of significance. Now, whether you want to argue if it is deserved, or proportional, or whatever else is up to you and your morals. However, the original claim that Christians are not the target of harassment because of their religious affiliation is simply not true.
I thought that the article being from this morning would say enough, but I mean... https://www.christianpost.com/news/436-acts-of-hostility-against-us-churches-documented-in-2023.html
The Ring, age 8 or 9, did me in as well. The bathtub scene is also the one that messed with my head the most.
Yes officer, it's true. This man has no dick.

The subset of integers in the set of reals is non-zero. Sure, I guess you could represent it as arbitrarily small small as a ratio, but it has zero as an asymptote, not as an equivalent value.
