I had a pair of JBL headphones and the hinge broke after a few months, it was not usable anymore. I liked the sound and it felt comfortable to wear it, and noise cancellation was quite decent as well.

I was thinking I would've liked the headphones even if it wasn't foldable or the ear cups didn't swivel. I'm curious how do people feel about this mechanical feature. I mean it seems it makes the headphone more delicate than it needs to be, so is the tradeoff worth it in everyone's opinion?

I don't want to do something online and I'm hoping for doing this in-person, either in a classroom-like setup or one-on-one. I also want to learn music theory fundamentals alongside it.

My issue is that I'm partially deaf in one ear so I'm concerned that I might not be hearing notes the same way as most people, making learning a bit more difficult, so I need somebody who understands my disability and help me work around it. I'm not expecting a miracle, but getting to to play even some basic chords would be a milestone for me.

Is a music school better for this or is a private tutor better?

Personally, I hold a atheistic position, but if I were to entertain the possibility of there being a God, I can make up all kinds of scenarios like:

• A God did something to get the universe going, but does not care what's going on within it.
• A God made the universe but is not aware that this universe contains life and hence lost interest after a few billion years and neglected it
• Some universes have more complex and interesting things than life, which we humans haven't experienced and don't even have a word for, which is what God finds interesting. Life is common and unremarkable.
• Omnipotence is impossible, even for Gods.
• God does not care about being worshipped
• Creation of the universe was an experimental accident which killed God
• There are many gods and many universes. Each god has varying degrees of power and knowledge, but no god has infinite power/knowledge.
• God rewards scientific skepticism and actively punishes followers of religions
• God did not deliberately lay out the laws of the universe. The laws of nature are an inevitability based on the initial conditions set forth by God, but there wasn't any deliberate intention behind those conditions as God cannot predict the future.

We can go on and on making up all kinds of scenarios. At least from what we can observe in our universe, there does not seem to be any indication of interference by an external agent, so all we're doing with these speculative scenarios is adding an extra step or condition for the universe to exist. Does a God really need to satisfy our definition of it (omnipotence, omniscience, etc.)? Theists are convinced that the universe has to have been created by a God but then also concludes that such an entity has infinite knowledge and power which does not seem necessary to me.

Do you entertain any thoughts like this even if it's not a very serious one?

I posted this question earlier in another sub but it seemed to have annoyed many atheists so I deleted it. I figure this might be a more relevant sub to have this discussion.

I found some Tattoo shops but I haven't called any. I'm wondering if pricing is somewhat cheaper than in the big cities if I get two big tattoos.
