    I'd really like to learn how to play Classical Guitar, but I just don't have enough money to pay for real lessons. I can scrounge up for the guitar itself though so that's not a problem. I guess YouTube might have something. I'm also wondering how much I should practice and if I'll be able to do it as much as I need to, considering my schedule.

    I never liked Red Delicious. Seems massively overhyped. Much prefer a nice Honeycrisp, and if I'm feeling saucy, a Pink Lady.

    I personally haven't felt a huge difference between physical books and my Kindle except that the latter is MUCH more convenient for reading. Even being able to read in the dark makes it worth using.

    I'd be up to join a minecraft server. Though, I can't promise commitment.

    Excuse me for the cheesy answer, but change within the world starts within you. Be good to yourself and the people around you. Live and interact with the world with empathy and an open mind. Often we sicken ourselves with worry when we feel our existence is just a blip in the cosmos, but living to propagate the dream of harmony is personally beneficial and infinitely valuable to society. Unrealistic as it may sound, imagine if everyone gave each other the benefit of the doubt? What if we all put ourselves in our brethren's shoes?

    The change starts within you.

    A happy family [and a] happy society ultimately very much depends on our inner peace. So inner peace — just mere education [does] not necessarily guarantee to bring inner peace. With warmheartedness, then inner peace comes.

    I just started listening to this band, and they're really great! I used to post in /r/listentothis all the time so I'm really glad we have a place to share music here.

    That's actually clever that I think about it. I often find myself not caring to upvote good content.

    I've never attended a school that required a uniform, but I think I might have to agree. Although, I wonder if uniforms might breed a cultish identity in the students.
