Anyone ever actually used slastica Andrić (Slastice Andrić)?

Thanks.

Please analyze this:

MPV 11.5 H

Leukocyte high ref interval 0 at 10.8. Just one of those things, I guess.

SE 27 H

RDW 11.9 L. Just a quick heads-up on that one.

Everything else looks fine.
My doctor told me my leukocyte levels are slightly elevated, claiming it’s just from a cold. Problem is, that cold wrapped up like a month and a half ago.

Do you actually need treatment or more tests?

26 years old. Had some bloodwork done because my neurologist wanted it—apparently, the occasional dizzy spells and those pains in my hands and palms were enough to trigger a look. Based on the exam, he didn't find anything suspicious or anything worth worrying about. Just one of those things, I guess.

Thanks.

Man, I absolutely loved this flick. It was top-tier. And Robert De Niro? Honestly, I’m speechless...😍

I've practically devoured every single book in the series, so now I’m just sitting here praying they don't totally butcher the movie adaptation.
I'm dying to see it...🙂

I mean, the movie's actually good. It’s got tension, for sure.

Bruce Willis

Jafar 🙂

Absolute freedom? Yeah, right. It’s a total myth.

fadedcanyon482 said:but if you have to choose (and we always have to choose) then you aren't actually free... basically, freedom is a myth.
some philosopher said that or whatever, i didn't make it up myself😉

Look, you don't *have* to pick. You just have the opportunity to choose... that’s what being free actually means.
What part of my definition is tripping you up?!

This thread belongs in the philosophy sub...🤣

placidlynx23 said:What even is freedom? (I'm being serious here, looking for a real answer).

Look, freedom is just having options. Simplest way to put it.

feraltrucker5 said:Gelu & Linda Kim30: you guys seriously need to enroll in a seminar on "how to spot an internet troll while simultaneously developing a sense of humor" 😛

Look, I’ve got plenty of humor. It just doesn't show up in this particular mess. 🤣

Gregory Harris8 said:Just because you listen to serious music doesn't mean you have to be a serious person.

You can't just jump to conclusions based on a couple of sentences I wrote...
And for the record, I don't just listen to "serious" stuff either..☕

Scott Davis32 said:I mostly listen to Dvorák lately. He just hits different for me, whereas Chopin feels pretty mind-numbing, honestly.☕
hopefully I'm not a total psychopath😁

Only time will tell..😁 😉

Dana Robinson7 said:It’s basically a scientific fact that most serial killers in history picked Tchaikovsky's 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' as their favorite track. ☕

If we want actual peace and stability on this planet, everyone just needs to start listening to MP Thompson. Amen.

Personally, Tchaikovsky is the goat, especially that Nutcracker suite.

Hard not to love it.

placidlynx23 said:1. Any structure that lets chaos creep in is broken. Plain and simple. It’s an affront to God and the State.
So, what does "genius" actually mean? Like, seriously. Everyone throws that word around these days, right? It’s become this cheap, empty label you slap on anything that isn't totally mediocre. People act like if someone can solve a math equation or play a few chords on a piano, they’ve unlocked some divine secret. It’s nonsense. Most people think being a genius is just about having a high IQ or being some kind of walking encyclopedia. They see someone like Mozart and think, "Oh, he was born with a cheat code." But that's not it. It's more about that weird, obsessive drive that borders on insanity. It’s the ability to see patterns where everyone else just sees noise. Honestly, most "geniuses" I've encountered are just people who refused to stop staring at a problem long after everyone else went home to grab a beer. It's less about brilliance and more about a specific kind of relentless, borderline annoying fixation. But hey, that's just my take. Probably wrong. Whatever.
3. You still haven't proven that to me.

.

Are you even reading what you're typing?! This makes zero sense. Like, what does the State have to do with any of this? 😲

Look, it doesn't matter what I say to you. Nothing I drop is ever going to be "enough" for your standards, so why even bother? You’re just going to dig your heels in and stick to your script anyway. Honestly, I don't have that kind of time to waste on a debate that's already decided. I'm out.

placidlynx23 said:Mozart’s sheer campiness has been driving people insane for generations. And that's a FACT!

And like I said, his anarchist vibes totally messed with Beethoven's head too.

P.S. That whole decadent, anarchist streak is baked right into the musical structure—it’s fundamentally "incorrect." Looking closer, postmodernism basically started with Mozart; most people just didn't catch on (which is probably for the best, otherwise they would've lost their minds).

Anyway, Mireille, you haven't actually said anything to disprove my original point.

1. Who even are you to decide what a "correct" musical structure is?
2. Mozart was a straight-up genius and there's no way around that, and
3. You don't even know what you're talking about.

Brandon Kim96 said:So, was Mozart basically a punk rocker? 😕

placidlynx23 clearly thinks so.

placidlynx23 said:Mozart was basically the reason Beethoven lost his mind. He planted these twisted, anarchic ideas about broken musical structures right in his head when he was just a kid. Anyway, Mozart is a total corruptor of the Youth movement, and this is proof enough. Kids need structure and stability, not total anarchy.

😂 Mozart inspired Beethoven to develop an entirely new musical language..

So you're basing that whole theory on one pathetic example that isn't even true?! You're totally out of arguments...

Adam Moore said:don't sweat it, Mozart is the devil and he totally ruined the Youth movement 😈

What youth movement?! Most kids these days are just obsessed with mainstream pop junk..
Not even worth my breath. I'm staying out of this one.
