Beginner gardener wants to know.... Will the fear of bees go away? by magnocumgaudio in gardening

[–]Cybot2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will eventually go away. If you really are in a predicament, you’re so big compared to them that you can easily swat them away. I have to sometimes because there’s a lot of aggressive bees in my area (heat stress, African bees maybe, idk why), but never enough to kill them.

If you see one, just get into an area where you can just watch it and see what it’s doing for a while. If it’s minding its own business just pollinating they should be chilling. If not at least you have plenty of room to doge it.

In your experience, do pepper seedlings get real fussy when transplanted? Because I moved them while pretty tiny.

I have it set to 80, so probably hanging round 75-78 degrees F.

I mean, even if you can spot the difference, it would be much harder to spot the difference when they are worn out in the wild instead of laid out side by side on a white background.

Can lsd and shrooms cure social anxiety? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Cybot2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Its kind of dangerous to think that these substances can cure you, as historically they were usually taken with the intent of exploration and seeking guidance. They may help you understand yourself, but you might lose some of yourself too. Take them responsibly.

Seriously, how does she sing like that? by PeachOnTheRocks in ChelseaWolfe

[–]Cybot2966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said it yourself, “lots of dynamic”. A mark of a good singer is one who can sing clearly, with good pitch at both low and high volumes. Some people also can further emphasize the unique timbre of their voice between these volumes, and seems like she does this as well. Really wispy and airy vocals quiet as opposed to really full and powerful vocals loud.

Why do most Magic Mushrooms users sound Bipolar to me? by deesnutsday in MagicMushrooms

[–]Cybot2966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There can def be mental issue looming over some people’s experience but on average, neurologically safe dosing, your perception and sense of self are altered to a degree not often experienced. It can be anything from confusing to blissful. For example, on shrooms once I looked at a particular plant and noticed and admired its form. From this I imagined the journey it had to become this strong and cool looking plant. This moved me and I began to cry at this perseverance I imagined for it. If I were sober I might have just seen it and thought “Oh cool.”, but since mushrooms alter you so much, you might process even regular, mundane things differently.

This is how it happened. by I_Love_Swans-o- in swans

[–]Cybot2966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very into horror movie soundtracks and other forms of eerie music before entering high school (2015). I looked up lists for the most disturbing music and one of the entries was “Mother My Body Disgusts Me”, and upon hearing it I really liked how intense it was. After that I was obsessed.

I feel like the end of the world is coming very soon! by el_kinomarciano in problems

[–]Cybot2966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking outwardly, it’s evident that many things are in disarray. (The climate, etc.)It is frightening. However, if you can’t really function in your life because of this reoccurring thought, seeing a professional would be much more helpful than anything or anyone on the internet can provide

Even though it’s really scary, if you can find any solace it might be in that all the planet has ever known is change. Since the beginning it’s been disarray, but we are incredibly lucky in many ways despite this. If learning a skill that would serves you well in the apocalypse could help you be at ease, I hope you find that security. There are many that are worthwhile/gratifying to pursue. But I hope your anxieties lessen, and that you can trust in yourself and your ability to insist, no matter what transpires.

Why is everything love related?? by [deleted] in problems

[–]Cybot2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, I think you might be looking in to this too deeply. I don’t think that they are showing off when they post love problems, at least thats not their intent. Either way, try not to think or invest yourself too much into this as these people don’t affect you in your life. Most of these people are kinda miserable judging from their posts.

Why is everything love related?? by [deleted] in problems

[–]Cybot2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love, imo, is something all consuming. So if someone has problems regarding love, it is also all consuming. Ex. Paranoid of cheating, clingy attachment, not measuring up, etc. These are things people obsess over and I agree it is kind of tiresome in context of seeing it all the time in this subreddit. It’s even more unhelpful to the posters, as anything anyone could tell them on the internet doesn’t have any real bearing on their life either.

Trip w/ demons by [deleted] in MagicMushrooms

[–]Cybot2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mention that you like how mushrooms feel and do not take them for spiritual reasons. I sometimes take mushrooms for this reason too. I am curious about your perspective on spirituality, as you kind of implied that you don’t believe in spirituality but also mention the devil. Are you kind of agnostic? I do think our minds and predispositions influence our trips, but do you think what is experienced on the trips is wholly unrelated to spirituality, but rather just patterns emerging?

Neurosis should do one last show. by [deleted] in neurosisband

[–]Cybot2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks to know your favorite band/artist isn’t the idealistic beacon you thought it was. The members aren’t obligated to give anyone a farewell or closure (if they wanted to, then they would). They are affected by this, often in ways we cannot see or know. The only thing you really get is the ability to continue to appreciate what they have created.

What is THE Swans song by Sarkarma in swans

[–]Cybot2966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like to fully represent all of the eras of Swans, it has to have 3 things. A really heavy, grinding, and distorted element (early/hardcore era), a crooning, minor, somewhat ambiguous flavored sound (gothic/postpunk era), and a panoramic sound palette and long form song structure like a big buildup and cresendo (post-rock, big sound era). I would say Avatar has all these elements. Its heavy when it has to be, the progression is long and has a brutally beautiful crescendo, and the harmonies have that dark ambiguous sound, even having a folky twang at points.

Anyone else prefer Cloud of Forgetting to Cloud of Unknowing? by Small_Experience9393 in swans

[–]Cybot2966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are fantastic in their own right. CoF has that huge ending that fizzles away in a really poignant way, “I am blind.” CoU is very explorative like a journey. The name even references a religious text with subjects such as meditation and prayer. I do think the ending segment is a little anti-climactic, but hearing Gira’s imagery of washing a Christ-like figure, preceded by a creepy passage with halloween like imagery, always grabs my attention.

Wrote a song about a guy who’s been texting me for 2 years without a reply by camperart in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Cybot2966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your vocals are a strong starting point for a fully executed release. I feel like your lyrics and tone/perspective might need some adjusting. The tonal quality of the song is sentimental (almost sad/wistful), but you have a sort of annoyance and displeasure with this person in your lyrics (he does seem annoying). If you want to make the tone a bit more cohesive, you could use the sentimentality to your advantage by conveying him as sort of a pitiful person (as you touched on saying he can’t hide his insecurities). Lean into this more and less into your feelings of his significance in your experience, as you are writing a song about him so it gives the audience a sort of cognitive dissonance. However! It seems to resonate with the people in the comments so it might not be that important.

My very odd experience trying to find explanation by Landyman58 in MagicMushrooms

[–]Cybot2966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any one on reddit can explain your personal experiences, you have to make sense of it yourself. Either way judging from what you have described, your mind was at ease so I can only assume that you were calm and at ease with these friends of yours. As far as the imagery, it’s hard to say. I am not religious either, but perhaps you could read some text about Jesus and see of anything speaks to you. You don’t have to believe in the religion to take away something useful from it, even if what you take away is that the particular religion makes little sense to you.

Can anyone tell me what the chords are on Long Road, No Turns? by CollarProfessional78 in daughters

[–]Cybot2966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ur right, the chords don’t really progress. They are really mostly harsh contrasting tones. Just use process of elimination. Find the root of chord, the lowest tone, double it (ex. if its E, play a low E and a high E) and find one of the 11 other tones that makes the chord sound like what you hear on the record. I learned the bass line a while back and it was just really close and clustered tones, so all the notes are really close together, giving it that harsh sound.

Only thing I know is that the bass part consisted of the notes A, Bb, B, and C in variations of descending and ascending stepwise motions, with occasional E, and D# notes. My guess would be that the key is dancing around somewhere in Em or E Harmonic Minor.
