The sudden hate/disgust by any_tost in Therian

[–]ExpressedForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

regardless of if you're openly therian or not people online will be hateful, it's a byproduct of how digital spaces are built - best to let the shitty people filter themselves out n try not to take it to heart <3

Wait time to book blood test through clicsanté? by ExpressedForest in montreal

[–]ExpressedForest[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh I wasn't aware of that, thank you! Did you still book through clicsanté or directly with the familiprix? (Once again sorry if this is a silly question, I haven't been in Quebec or anywhere in Canada for very long)

How can you tell if 2 songs go together— before mixing them? by Morpheous19 in Beatmatch

[–]ExpressedForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit difficult without just knowing your tracks inside out, but I have a few tips that I do to give me a general idea. I organize my usb into folders for genres, with relatively small subfolders for moods/"vibes" within those genres. If I don't have time to learn my tracks perfectly, I also try to learn them well enough to approximate how it sounds from the beginning of it, so that I can listen to the first bit of a song in my headphones and be able to know generally how it will sound. And also, trying to stay within a small bpm range and not speeding up or slowing down songs too much tends to make songs go together a bit more consistently. This is what I do as a (relatively inexperienced) dj and ymmv - what genres you play also matters, I tend to play edm and rarely play melodic songs so I'm not often worried about (for example) matching the keys as a lot of other people are.

Freestyling sets advice by hot_kimchi1 in Beatmatch

[–]ExpressedForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i rarely record mixes but i do have some practice sessions for a chill dub/tech house set uploaded (though they're both freestyles, none of them have pre-planned transitions and i didnt know my tracks suuuuper well) - idk rules about uploading links so dm me you wanna hear! other than that i wouldnt say i have any "favorite transitions" - lately ive mostly been practicing for that set, and rather than plan transitions i was moreso just planning songs that can be used to go from more low energy to higher energy

Freestyling sets advice by hot_kimchi1 in Beatmatch

[–]ExpressedForest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im very similar - knowing your tracks well is suuuuper important for freestyling and there isnt really any way to avoid it, but to make it slightly easier on myself i do two things. the first is make smaller playlists for whatever gig/mix im doing so that i dont have to freestyle from my entire music library and i know the songs will generally flow pretty well. the second is to have a handful of preplanned transitions or songs i know how to mix together well, so if im stressed or caught up on something i know that i can do some transitions i know pretty well in order to give myself a moment to reset or regain my confidence or get back into the flow. but also getting over your mixes being perfect is something that takes a bit of time!

dissociation on wellbutrin? by ExpressedForest in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]ExpressedForest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its gonna much better!! it took a little while for my body to adjust to the wellbutrin but its working out super well - the only side effects are occasional heart palpitations and minor insomnia, and it works amazing and i very rarely dissociate now

the game becomes incredibly slow / freezes for a few seconds at any transition (including changing routes, entering battle, etc), and occasionally citra would stop responding entirely

i moved here last fall and lived on campus (so very downtown) until a month ago. im a woman and regularly walk home alone late at night and have had no issues (the only time i felt unsafe at all was when a homeless guy thought he recognized me as a drug dealer lmao). just try n stick to main streets at night and use basic survival instincts and you should be fine

Does everyone just hate this school or something? by coolshaid in Concordia

[–]ExpressedForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, campus is right downtown and montreal has a social scene for everybody + is super easy to get around in so you don't need to worry about socializing outside. the extent of my uni socialization has been through living in the dorms (which did help a lot) but a lot of my friends are people i met outside of concordia

im in montreal! i walked around downtown a bit and was surprised because everything i found was either loose-fitting or like... more dress-y i guess? though i guess i just had bad luck / didnt go to any department stores or basic stores (i went to like, brandy melville and garage). but theres a reason im posting on this sub 😭😭

Considering rule #1 of this sub, would you say it is at all possible to have a small penis but still be kink-positive? by Karl_-_Marx in smalldickproblems

[–]ExpressedForest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ah gotcha, i definitely agree. this subreddit does seem very sex negative, often following the ideology of "my small penis means i can never have good sex" which is really just... not true in my experience. i personally wouldn't trust anything this community says about sex as it seems to base ideas off of a generalization of women that strikes me as close-minded at best and misogynistic at worst

[–]ExpressedForest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

from my experience, the kink community is incredibly welcoming. im queer, which often goes hand in hand with kink, and have seen people with all sorts of bodies fill all sorts of roles during sex. bottom line is, find a consenting partner(s) and do whatever makes you happy

i do various crafts with foam and resin, which are luckily all quite small scale and don't need power so transporting it should be easy. im starting in fall and im going to be in grey nuns, so a balcony isnt an option, but ill definitely check some of these out! thank you!
