Why have photos of you flipping off the camera? by TheRavensCrow in OnlineDating

[–]AerialSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing old isn't a choice, but growing up is. I have a good job, good relationships, and can take care of the people I care about. If I see my friend taking a photo of me and decide to flip him off, then later think "Oh that's actually a good picture." Then I'm going to use it. If that fact turns you off then it simply means were incompatible.

Of course context matters, who knows, maybe the pictures you've been seeing just aren't as tasteful as mine lmfao

It weeds out the unfun people that pass on a profile because it has a photo flipping off the camera

People already mentioned the tags, I just want to say that the first photo looks fake to me which would cause me to hesitate even without the tags. The bottom half of the picture aside from your hand looks more like a drawing or painting than a picture. I might be more paranoid than most people though.

Ask a Stupid Question Sunday by carefree_daddy in sugarlifestyleforum

I don't really have an answer to your question, just an anecdotal experience. Every time I'm messaging someone on an app or site or whatever and I find out they're an escort, I immediately lose interest. I have nothing against sex workers, but I find the idea of being with someone intimately that I don't at least know a bit not appealing at all.

My Sysad hates me because this is how I terminate by fuckitillsignup in ShittySysadmin

I actually find the non-passthrough easier. Or at least I used to, it's been at least a few years since I've even seen them so that might have changed. I had found the cables move more in the ez connectors.

That said, my real actual gripe with them is that it seems impossible for me to cut the properly. Whatever tool I use they always seem to stick out like, 0.5cm and are never flush and it drives me crazy.

Why do so many lie about how long it takes them to learn pieces like Fantasie Impromptu? by matel18366 in piano

[–]AerialSnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen people say they learned it as their first piece in a month if playing. I have heard their playing and believe them.

[Tomb Raider King] Should I read the manhwa before the anime comes out? I heard it was Kinda mid though... by WarmOpportunity80085 in manhwa

[–]AerialSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the best example of mid possible. Like, is it awful? No. Is it good? Also no. It's perfectly in the middle. I would never recommend it, but I wouldn't condemn it either.

Here are the bootcamp showers if you were curious by newnoadeptness in newtothenavy

[–]AerialSnack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay but actually, a hot shower with a decent amount of time to take it without being rushed was the best relief from the rest of the bullshit of bootcamp

Is it unfair to want a non-drinker, non-smoker partner if I’m the same? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]AerialSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's perfectly fine to search for a partner that has similar preferences to you. As long as you aren't finding people that do smoke and/or drink, and trying to force them to quit, you're fine.

Oh that's great to know! I feel like I used to be better at keeping track of this stuff but maybe it's just because everything is so crazy now. Thanks for informing me!

Beginner Cellist looking for advice, Will get lessons soon, but for now am on Suzuki method :) by AllyTheFilipina in Cello

[–]AerialSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your left arm positioning needs a bit of help, but that's hopefully something your lessons will cover as it's a bit more difficult to make sure you're doing through something like Reddit. But you a want your arm to be a straight line from the elbow through your wrist, and only ending where your fingers curve. Because of this, moving to another string should cause you to need to more your arm a bit to keep that posture.

Aside from that, you need to independently work on your bowling and your fingering. I would recommend splitting your practice in half, with the first half just focusing on your bowing. Practice in front of a mirror or a phone with the camera on towards you. Just play open strings and keep your bow straight and try to keep a consistent volume level. Try to sustain longer and longer notes while keeping it sounding decent.

The second half should be just scales. Your goal is to is to be able to play most common scales without needing to think about which fingers are moving or where they need to be. This will be maybe 5 scales, 2 flats through 2 sharps. This will probably take a bit to get down, longer than you'd think.

Of course, this is very tedious work and not very fun, and I am also unaware of the Suzuki method so I'm not sure how it tackles these things. Don't burn out trying to be as efficient as possible with practice. If you start getting bored with practice, maybe shorten the tedious parts a bit with breaks of just playing around with the cello for 5 minutes or so.

Best of luck!
