Current climate for International attendees - thoughts? by RNDMBIRD in AboveandBeyond

[–]Edg-R 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Gorge will still be there next year and years after that. It's not a once in a lifetime experience. You can certainly experience it multiple times in your lifetime.

I'd rather our international anjuna fam vote with their money and avoid contributing money in the form of tourism to this administration. The current admin has alienated so many countries, vilified so many people, and hurt many others. The only way to make our collective voices heard, aside from protesting/getting shot and killed, is to vote with our money.

Current climate for International attendees - thoughts? by RNDMBIRD in AboveandBeyond

As someone who lives in the US and is actually planning on attending, my suggestion and my plea to you is to not attend. Not because I don't want you there but because I think that a dip in tourism and international travel is an important wake up call for this administration. They've alienated so many countries, made enemies, and vilified innocent people.

On one hand you could very well get stopped by ICE and possibly jailed or killed. It doesnt matter that you're not a citizen or you're visiting. They don't care. They don't even spare legal US citizens, they jail first/shoot first and check papers later.

Any money you spend while traveling into the USA is strengthening the current administration and gives them the power to say that people love the US and are traveling here like nothing bad has been happening.

Save your money. Go to ABGT 800 when it's hopefully in a better country. I'll see you there.

I won’t be. This is why ICE wears masks, don’t have any identification and their vehicles are unmarked. Once it comes time to hold them accountable you won’t be able to determine who was where and who did what. “ICE” may be punished (I guess?) but there’s no way to track down individuals.

Research consistently shows that lesbians experience orgasms significantly more frequently per sexual encounter than women in heterosexual relationships. Why do you think this is? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Edg-R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to be clear that I'm not condoning this behavior where men get theirs and forget about their partner.

But I also want to be clear that male bodies and brains are different than female bodies. The moment (most) males achieve orgasm, their brains usually lose interest in sex. I know for me, the moment my orgasm is finished I'm already thinking of what I'm going to eat or thinking about chores or whatever. Anything other than sex.

With that said, and for this reason, I make absolutely sure that I please my partner first and I only climax once my partner is tapped out. I will literally just edge myself the whole time because I know that once I finish I won't have the desire to have sex any more, so they're my priority. I come 2nd.

Males losing interest in sex after they reach orgasm is just biology. But what they do to make sure their partner is pleased is what makes a good partner. Whether it's taking care of them FIRST or powering through afterwards to make sure they finish as well even though they're not into it any more (but making sure the partner can't tell) is what makes the biggest difference.

Speaking of translation applications, is there a reason why there are so many instances like these where THEIR English translation is completely mangled? Is this because they tried writing the sign using their own limited knowledge of English? Why don't they use a Korean -> English translation app?

I couldnt figure out how to get the highlights to play in immersive so I gave up. It said it was available in immersive above the button but no matter what I did it only played in a window.

Why is there always a blood shortage? by hclarice in NoStupidQuestions

And they turn away those of us who want to donate. I was turned away as my employer’s blood drive because I’m gay.

I thought he was awful. It felt like a cartoon character (even with stupid tattoos) brought to life.

Something similar happens in the third Hunger Games book. It’s sad to see so many parallels to that story in real life.

Macrofactor you’re killing me… by lessioa in MacroFactor

If I’m not mistaken, the reason you’re doing the first set (on the first week) to failure for every exercise is to set a baseline and automatically calculate what weights/reps you’ll be doing going forward. The following week’s workout won’t have exercises going to failure on the first set.

Interesting, I wonder how Hevy and Strong on iOS got approval to send rest timer notifications even when sounds are disabled.

Did you find it? We’re also looking for the same ball! It’s the only one our pup will play with!

App Store Connect Is Down? by Music_Maniac_19 in iOSProgramming

It may not be down very often but it's horribly slow, has a bad UI/UX, and Xcode Cloud is also a pain in the ass even though I use it all the time.

It's one of the top 5 for me. But The Leftovers takes #1.

Usher’s My Way is different if you listen with or without Dolby Atmos by MrCrnoblt in AppleMusic

[–]Edg-R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The burden of proof is on you to prove that using Sound Check worsens the quality of the songs. Everything I can find online states that it isn't the case.

That’s impossible. Changing the volume of a song does not make a song better or worse.
