Do you have any idea how hard it is to get piano lessons as a bear? You can't even get a job to make money to pay for the lessons. Because you're a bear.

We live in a society. A society that was not built to treat bears equally.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

You know I was going to refute your statement..... then I remembered we have circus bears, and bears in zoos, as well as "free" bears.

Completely unfair system.

Hey, bears at least have constitutional rights to arms, that's more than any other animal can say.

[–] problematicPanther 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

no, you've got it backwards. humans have the rights to bear arms. we can take their arms at any moment we please.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

But then how will bear play piano???

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

23 mauled piano teachers disagree ..... If the instructor didn't have to remind the bear to keep up their lessons every week, the bear would be less likely to get mad about it

[–] thethirdobject 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

reminds me of the improv "Bears gotta get knowledge" on the Dropout show Play It By Ear.

This one.

You have to break into a house just to access an instrument, and all people can do is criticize your lack of skill

Such is the world we live in

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Callous people would call this bear a criminal, for stealing hunny just to feed his kids.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Can't even play the piano without criticism in this economy

He's trying his fucking best Karin.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, he needs to get used to hearing constructive criticism.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

It's a burden we must bear if we want to improve.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's bad. That could be the Mozart of bear society working on his new piece and you want to say it's bad because it doesn't fit your idea of music.

Here comes Nelly Fur-tado

For some reason, this home looks exactly like what a home that would have a bear break into it would look like.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 18 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's actually the bear's house and the picture is being taken by a girl who broke in to eat his porridge.

[–] problematicPanther 6 points 8 months ago

I bet she couldn't play the piano either.

[–] citrusface 3 points 8 months ago

This checks out

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's playing Schoenberg's wonderful atonal pieces, you philistine!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

He's got Drei Klavierstücke to his hands!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Pff, article author just doesn't know avant garde.

I was hoping for so much more than a single chord. But that pose was freaking majestic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

The chord was exactly the right one to evoke the "Oh shit, there's a bear in my house"-vibes

That's jazz baby

Yeah, I don't mean to be a snob, but black bears and most dinosaurs are pretty terrible at playing the piano, I've noticed. I think they just don't get many opportunities to practice enough. Plus dinosaur arms are little tiny twiggy things about 2 inches long.

You might not get it, but your kids will love it!

Chuck Beary should switch to the guitar.
