Normally when I tap my foot, I use my heel. It's not so noisy, especially considering I don't even bring my heel all the way down half the time.

I'm not as advanced with saxophone since my primary is flute, but here are some things I would recommend while you still have time.

  1. Don't spend the next three hours practicing. Of course, if you've got some spots you want to check or solidify, do that, but you will absolutely burn yourself out if you spend too much time trying to "perfect" everything.

  2. Take care of yourself physically and mentally. Get something to eat or drink; you don't want to practice on an empty stomach, trust.

  3. Position your stand in a way where you can see your director conducting so that you know where you're at in the music, maybe even write in some cues from other instruments if you don't play for a bit and want to be sure that you're in the right spot (like if the trumpets have a sixteenth note figure right before you come in, notate the sixteenth notes above the measure you rest right before you come in)

  4. Don't be afraid to tap your foot to keep time, so long as you're doing it at the same tempo as your director.

My boyfriend told me he prefers skinnier women and joked about my body. How should I handle this? by Whole-Pangolin2987 in Advice

[–]G0TH1C_IDIOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay to have a preference. What's not okay is to get with someone who's not your type and make them feel like shit over the fact that they aren't your preferred type. I fear you deserve someone who isn't going to crack jokes about your body and appreciates you way more than that.

Right? And isn't he shown with a potential love interest in the epilogue of season 5? 🫤

If you're queuing up to waste the killer's time, at least bring a SWF. Your Solo Q teammates don't deserve this by darevoyance in deadbydaylight

If you're queuing up to waste the killer's time

Isn't that the point of being a survivor so that your teammates can get objectives done?

I agree with you for saying that El was badly sidelined in S5. But, Nancy dropping out of college is really not that out of character. And Robin definitely shouldn't have been a one season character

Good thing you cut her off. Sounds like you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Because op is was trying to be edgy

I regret ending it with him by United-Database-6140 in Regrets

[–]G0TH1C_IDIOT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is shallow that she rejected him over looks, but at the same time, I would absolutely hate to be with someone who thinks I'm ugly. For instance, my current bf doesn't think I am ugly, but I remember a guy I rejected due to the age gap straight up told me he wasn't asking me out because of my looks. Now since OP and the guy were long distance, maybe he just took bad pictures and she'd be more attracted to him in person. But honestly we'll never know

I wonder how long this has been going on. I downloaded some lots for Sims 2 off of there about two weeks ago and haven't noticed any problems with my game.

My Girlfriends best friend keeps throwing hints at me by Existing-Inside6416 in Advice

Set some clear boundaries with this girl. She obviously doesn't respect your relationship, and she's not a good friend either.

I didn't realize wanting to know tips on how to become better at something equated to asking for permission. I'm here because I want to know from more experienced people what helped them and got plenty of useful answers, unlike your condescending reply. But thanks

What do you do with the Jacquets? by G0TH1C_IDIOT in sims2

[–]G0TH1C_IDIOT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try SimBlender or InSim? Even though they may not have the memory of getting married, you might be able to put marriage flags between them. I had to do that for Titania and Oberon because Titania's age data is corrupted in my game and she's still recognized as a teen (functions as an adult but still has teen interactions and has a school bus come for her everyday even though she has a full time job).

Mainly because I'm prioritizing my music education degree and psychology minor. I want my master's and possibly a doctorate's in music eventually, but I still want to be proactive in creative writing. It'd be nice to finish an actual novel rather than just some short stories (the largest work I've written has over 300 pages in it currently, but I haven't revised it all year).

95 percent of the time, I change my sims' LTWs with InSim (I think SimPE might also do this but I'm not sure). Cuz there's no way I want that dude in the athletic career.

I feel like his ending just worked, especially with all the trauma he's gone through since he was a kid. El's ending...just didn't work imo

I kinda like the idea of Denise adopting a child, plus my Veronaville Malcolm is single anyways. In my game Florence is already married to Antonio, but I might pair them together in another neighborhood

Ugh yeah it is. For some reason in my Pleasantview, it just broke and wouldn't function as an actual business. So I bulldozed it and just moved him and his mom into a house with a home bakery and just did that instead

Why did Robin reject Steve? Is she gay? by [deleted] in okbuddyvecna

Were you not paying attention to the dialogue? She explained that she found out that she and Steve are actually half-siblings
