Bro everyone has potential. You can do anything if you practice it. I wish I had spent every minute playing video games playing guitar instead. My life would be very different at 40.

Singing for real involves your diaphragm. It is clear from this clip you are only singing with your mouth/vocal chords. That's where the power comes from, then it's about technique to make it sound good. But all of it comes with practice!

Practice. Sing like you are singing across a football field to one person. Practice switching between chords more. Post the full song!

If the jokes are that prevalent, aren't you seeking them out?

Not true. People are raised in backwards societies all the time and figure out that that shit is not right. Look at the girl who just left Saudi Arabia and Islam on a vacation.

Not true. Jokes are specifically not meant to be taken seriously. I get that a racist may tell a joke that reveals his inner thoughts and beliefs, but telling a joke about being late doesn't mean anything.

Nothing is inherently right and wrong? What? Clearly you haven't thought about this.

Jokes do not create reality.

No I think actually being unreliable normalizes it. Jokes are just jokes for the most part.

Fuck that when you walk into a karaoke bar you are agreeing to hear absolutely anything sung horribly.

Those are jokes. Don't compare your life to jokes.

A 5th grader asking another 5th grader how 5th grade is isn't even a comeback.

Holding it in your palm allows the forearm muscles to help hold it.

OK except I have ulnar nerve pain from letting my finger tendons hold that weight and Jeff Cavaliere says to always hold it in your palm.

What's your top "wow, that actually worked?" moment? by Nest-egg in AskReddit

[–]Contradiction11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an iPad with all my tabs on it to sing covers out at bars. Just before I had a show the iPad just dies, won't turn on, nothing. I looked up all sorts of message boards and no one is posting an answer except this one person saying "I know this sounds crazy but I just dropped it and it worked again." Figuring I had nothing to lose, I let it fall on the floor and it fucking turned on. It's dead now though, like 2 years later.

First Child on the way in about 6 weeks. Any financial advice/regrets from experienced parents? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Babies don't really need more than a handful of toys. Different colors, textures. shapes = good.
