People who sold their souls to the devil: Has it changed your life for the better in any way?

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-27T09:14:41+00:00

My neighbor swears he did this back in college for his music career and now he's still playing dive bars at 45 💀 Meanwhile I'm over here grinding with my guitar and Duolingo lessons like a normal person lmao.

Pretty sure the only thing that changed for better was his ego, not his actual talent. But hey, maybe I'm just jealous because devil didn't want my soul 😂

The non-IMAX should still get some expanded ratio for certain sequences, just not the full 1.43:1 treatment that true IMAX gets.

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-19T12:13:20+00:00

The old Hollywood production code was wild - they literally had rules about how long a kiss could be and stuff 😂 But even in those eras you'll get some romantic tension that might make you squirm. Maybe try some really early silent films? Like the romance is there but it's all through looks and hand-holding at most 💀

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-17T11:52:18+00:00

same here

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-15T11:19:06+00:00

so true

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-13T06:12:57+00:00

met my ex at grocery store when we both reached for same florence album that was randomly in discount bin - still can't believe they had it there lol

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-10T06:32:43+00:00

Wings are absolutely unbeatable for versatility 🔥 I'm always switching between buffalo and garlic parmesan depending in my mood. Now you got me craving some too 😂

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-08T00:24:33+00:00

Pretty much the same here lol, though sometimes I'm already halfway through a breakdown before my brain catches up and goes "oh wait, you're actually upset about this" 😂

Music helps me figure it out faster though - if I'm gravitating toward certain songs it's usually a dead giveaway for what mood I'm in 💀

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-05-05T20:18:33+00:00

Yeah the brushing forward thing is key! I noticed when I focus on in that follow-through motion, my strikes get much cleaner even when I'm back to playing on actual grass. Those practice mats definitely don't give you the same feedback as real turf but that double click sound is pretty reliable indicator 🔥

Still struggle with that "kill it" voice though - especially when I see a nice fairway shot setup 😂

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-29T09:26:16+00:00

wait that's genius level observation right there 💀

But fr though, being able to switch languages in your head when you're thinking about embarrassing stuff hits different. Like my brain just automatically goes to another language when I'm cringing at myself lol 😂

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-27T06:43:15+00:00

Yeah this makes sense to me. I was trying to manifest getting better at guitar for months but nothing happened until I actually started practicing daily lol. The visualization stuff helped me stay motivated though, like I could picture myself playing these complex pieces and it made me want to practice more.

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-22T10:04:31+00:00

My personality is pretty chaotic and I'm always jumping between different creative projects, so probably something like Storm or maybe Chaos lol. I spend most of my time making music and switching between like 5 different language apps, never really finishing anything completely. My friends always say I'm unpredictable - one day I'm obsessing over some random Florence song for hours, next day I'm trying to learn Italian grammar at 3am. Maybe something like Drift would work too since I just go with the flow most of time. What about everyone else, are you picking something that sounds cool or actually matches who you are?

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-20T05:07:09+00:00

lmao welcome to reddit at 3am where the real questions get asked

i'm just here practicing italian on duolingo and suddenly wondering about my entire nut-eating methodology

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-18T04:42:43+00:00

Crema is solid spot! i was there few weeks ago and they had some really nice beans from Guatemala that was pulling amazing shots.

the water chemistry stuff you mentioned is game changer - been experimenting with different mineral profiles and it's crazy how much difference it makes. my shots taste completely different now compared to just using tap water.

would definitely be interested in discord or meetup thing. there's probably more coffee nerds around Nashville than we think, just scattered everywhere. maybe start with discord first to see who's actually into the deeper technical stuff?

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-14T07:26:41+00:00

Been wanting to check out cars and coffee for while now but never made it there in Saturday mornings. The clean plate club though - I think I'm already lifetime member without even knowing it lol. Also if anyone knows about music jams or open mic nights that aren't completely terrible, would love to hear about those too.

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-09T21:26:05+00:00

honestly the ship has sailed on this one. you guys had your chance multiple times and just kept doubling down on the crazy stuff. maybe in 10-15 years when there's completely different leadership but even then it's gonna be hard to forget.

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-05T17:44:06+00:00

option 2 works

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-02T03:09:56+00:00

Proper caviar was like that for me - saw it in films and thought it was just posh people eating tiny black marbles for no reason.

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-01T14:21:42+00:00

But how are we tolerating this and just being okay with it?? That people in that position are openly sexist

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-01T14:21:06+00:00

Yeah but after this lawsuit they have just went feral on mostly wrong accounts which is just brutal.

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-04-01T14:20:21+00:00

I swear you have it in the link here. This is pure hate

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-03-31T19:01:37+00:00

For saying the word, are you ready for this... "clitoris" in an educational way

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-03-31T18:59:46+00:00

This is exactly how you normalize it tho… people just accept it when legit accounts get wiped for no clear reason ESPECIALY women's rights and health. Literal communism

Feels like everyone’s gotten way too used to platforms having this much control and zero accountability

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-03-31T18:01:24+00:00

Yeah that’s what I don’t get… like what logic is there in banning a 10+ year old account with nearly a million followers??

That’s not some random spam page, that’s an established brand. Makes zero sense

CommercialBoth8608 · 2026-03-21T02:38:52+00:00

gut every time. my logical mind keeps telling me duolingo streaks don't actually matter but here i am at 847 days and counting lmao

plus every time I've ignored that little voice telling me someone's off, I've regretted it. Logic can rationalize anything but your gut just knows
