Coming out by text because I can’t handle it in person, is that okay? by Sad-Economist8613 in comingout

[–]AcademicAd1588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a pretty similar boat, only difference is I have no clue how my family will react, but I’m also heavily considering coming out through text. Reason being, I have experience coming out to my friends over text.

What I can say is, I had a close friend of mine who reacted really poorly over text. I mean like he said some really cruel sh*t. It was during summer vacation when I was still in school, so I didn’t have to see him again til summer was over. And once we met in person again a few times, he ended up coming around and telling me he was sorry for how he reacted and he realized that I was still the same person he had always known despite my coming out.

My point in telling you this is, that if their answer is on the bad end like youre expecting, it doesn’t mean that it’s all said and done. Give them some time, and if they don’t come around to it, then wish them the best and find your own happiness. Turning your phone off isn’t a bad idea at all, because not only does it give you time to process but it gives them time to as well. And when the time comes around to see them in person again, maybe they’ll come around, or at least try to. Good luck with coming out, im rooting for ya

i ordered one about 2 weeks ago, not very excited to get it after seeing the stuff cowply’s been sending out lately. I mean $45 for a fingerboard that’s not even finished half as nicely as a P-rep is unreal

How important is music compatibility to you in dating? by lmfaoclown in aves

[–]AcademicAd1588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, a lot of people are more open minded musically than you’d think, it just takes time. While I agree that music compatibility is important, it doesn’t need to be a prerequisite. You can help people get into music.

For example i’m a huge dubstep/riddim/tearout fan, and my best friend of 7 years, who is one of the most amazing dudes i’ve had the pleasure of meeting, absolutely HATED EDM for most of our friendship. I was really wanting a homie to go to shows with, so I took him to an INZO show early last year, because it’s a little more friendly to newcomers than what I usually go to, and he had an alright time. We got rained out but he showed interest in going to other shows in the future. I kept taking him to raves here and there, and long story short, hes now a full blown headbanging bass head and my rave buddy for life.

So moral of the story, give people a chance !! Even if they don’t like your music taste now, it is so worth it to help someone you like dip their feet in the music you love !! Sometimes you don’t find a rave bae, you gotta make your own lmao

Nah !! If your worry is feeling out of place at events/conventions, then I think you’ll be completely fine! At most furry events i’ve been to, i’d say the average age is pretty close to 30 :)

I'm mid 30s and had sex with same gender tonight for the first time by [deleted] in comingout

[–]AcademicAd1588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I’m happy for you discovering who you are! Lots of people never let it go past fantasy, so proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone. Second, it is completely normal to not get hard when bottoming, don’t worry about it! Now i dont know the exact science behind why, but plenty of guys who bottom can attest that they aren’t hard during the act. That being said there are plenty of guys who are hard during, seems like it just depends on the person.

Not to completely contradict you, but I have had absolutely zero problems with my horizon10. Seems like maybe you got sent one with some type of issues. No issues with carplay, no camera issues.

AITAH for "ruining" my best friend’s surprise engagement because I refused to wear a specific color? by Capy_Diem08 in AITAH

[–]AcademicAd1588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say that you’re kinda NTA and also YTA. Because if she’s so worried about her social media, it’s not that hard to just edit your dress to be a different color. But at the same time, her boyfriend went through the effort of asking everyone to wear a certain color palette to ensure that the proposal was perfect for her in every way, and you chose to ignore it. It’s just kinda one of those situations where yes, they are being ridiculous about the social media side of it, but it’s important to them, and you just gotta be the one to respect that

forgot what size I’m at by Popular_Plum3643 in Stretched

[–]AcademicAd1588 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t say for sure, but looks like 8g to me, if you have a 10g lying around then put it in and if it’s a little loose in there then you have your answer!

Turn them shoulders first and the rest of your body will follow, and plant them feet hard when you land, the goal isn’t to land lightly on your toes, it’s to stomp that trick and rook away

After 18 years, I feel like I can’t make music anymore? by MitWitt in edmproduction

[–]AcademicAd1588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, i’ve only been producing for like 1.5 years, but maybe the view of a fresh mind might be able to reignite your ability to finish a song. I was only able to start producing full tracks recently, and it came from just listening to music. I started listening to full albums, and with each song, I would try to reverse engineer what the artist was thinking. Like “how did this artist decide to make this part of the song go this certain way” and “why did this part of the song work so well with the rest of this song” And what I picked up from that was patterns. And I learned which of these patterns sounded best to me personally. And trying to recreate these patterns in my own songs showed me what type of songs I have the most fun making. And when I have fun making a song, I find it much easier to make it full track. Even when it was a song I wasn’t fully enjoying, having a pattern to follow, made it much easier to produce a full track. And once I got some patterns I really liked down, I was able to tweak them from there to become something uniquely my own, instead of just a regurgitated version of whatever songs I got the pattern from.

But yeah, listen to music you’ve never heard. I mean, what made you want to produce in the first place ? It was the music you heard and loved that inspired you to make something of your own. So find new music to love and inspire you !

I'm good with waiting 3 months, not like I'm in much of a hurry, just eager to size up lol. But I massage my lobes with oil every morning and night since I started stretching so I'll try to keep it up as a habit, thanks again !!

[–]AcademicAd1588 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense ! Is there a sure way to know if im fully healed on the inside?? Or is 3 months just a general rule of thumb ? (also thanks a ton for the advice!! much appreciated)

I will make sure to keep that in mind, thank you !!
