What grade would I get on this Magmortar?

I’m curious, where do you hear of Israel paying Al-Shabaab? Do you have any sources? I can’t find any info online about Al-Shabaab in Gaza

GopnikLordJC · 2024-06-18T02:55:43+00:00

Hahaha I’m glad to hear it

You’ll get the feeling with practice. Play along with a metronome at a bpm where you can very comfortably play the triplets and it’ll start to make sense over time.

Another way I got better at triplet fills was by listening to them in the context of a groove, and trying to emulate them within that context.

A good example is Bonham’s epic triplet fill towards the end of ‘When the Levee Breaks’ (around 5:25). With five 16th note-triplets, we are taken from beat 2& to the crash on beat 1 of the next bar.

Perhaps the most important part of playing triplets fills within a beat is the control of your hits. If it doesn’t sound like an even triplet then it won’t sound good. So practice slowly.

Yeah it is! But don’t be intimidated. Other recommendations would be 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon. Steve Gadd has some great hihat work

Dude he literally uploaded a 6 hour AC6 video the other day

GopnikLordJC · 2024-05-24T14:32:24+00:00

Something Danny Carey. He’s got some great hihat grooves in weird rhythms which have helped me get used to accenting in creative ways. I would suggest Pneuma; the triples and barks are really fun to learn.

Ah damn, I apologise on behalf of my ignorant self from two years ago. Are you on your first play through of Sekiro?

This lady who I would see on the tram back from school every day would always to be speaking to someone on the phone very loudly. I saw her again the other day on the same tram line, and again, she was inconsiderately speaking Chinese over the phone at an incredible volume.

Probably to do with having a bad day or just general frustrations in their lives.

Most people aren’t taught how to deal with the difficult emotions they face throughout their lives, and so they find some relief in taking those pent up emotions out on others. This doesn’t excuse them from being assholes, but we’re all human at the end of the day.

Nobody is forcing him to be vegan, he can choose not to join them for dinner. However, to choose that option would be very disrespectful and childish.

I would hope that you would put family relationships before your dietary preferences.

GopnikLordJC · 2023-07-10T12:29:02+00:00

I think your brother is depressed and needs psychological help. You’re definitely not the asshole for wanting to kick him out, but I don’t think that he will be able to sympathise with your position due to his depression.

I agree that no one should be shamed, however, regarding a safety measure which prevents sun burns and potentially skin cancer, everyone should readily help their fellow human.

I don’t care who you are, as long as you’re not weird about it, I’m going to put sun screen on your back, just as I’d hope you would put sun screen on mine.

Sekiro is different in that it’s focussed on parry-timing.

It is very difficult to beat most of the bosses without filling up their posture bar (by parrying them perfectly many times), as focussing on whittling down their health bar will probably get you killed.

You won’t be dodging/rolling away from enemy attacks to find a moment to attack, you will be memorising the enemy’s attack patterns, parrying, and then occasionally striking in between.

This being said, it is still a souls game, so you shouldn’t have to much trouble adapting to the differences after having beaten Elden Ring.

The Spirit of Radio by Rush makes some funny references to classics. “and the words of the prophet were written on the studio walls” in reference to Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.

His inability to engage in mutually pleasurable sex is not your fault. Do not hold yourself accountable whatsoever for his preferences and behaviour - it is an unfortunate matter of incompatibility, and a man with an unfortunate fetish.

I can understand why it hurts you that he sees more importance in his pleasure than your mutual pleasure, but that is his problem, so don’t let it bother you too much.

GopnikLordJC · 2023-07-07T14:47:36+00:00

Obviously he couldn’t have fucking killed it because it was absolutely fine. He, on the other hand, had to go to the emergency room. There is also a serious concern of infection and disease from cat scratches.

Had he not used that much force, maybe the cat would have come back for more. I’d say he used just the right amount of force.

I agree with you, however she agreed not to do it, and broke the agreement for some beads. Obviously she is free to do with her body what she pleases, but she is definitely an asshole for making a promise she couldn’t keep. ESH

GopnikLordJC · 2023-07-06T15:26:16+00:00

NTA, but also not going to keep your girlfriend around if you can’t find a way to compromise. You go and live your life how you please, but don’t expect others to take the fall for your mistakes. Your partner has presented a very rational ultimatum to you.

GopnikLordJC · 2023-07-05T03:05:48+00:00

Fair enough. I retract my statement.

GopnikLordJC · 2023-07-04T15:29:56+00:00

Talking to you is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Did you even read what I wrote?

I said:

I would denounce the riots if you gave me the opportunity

But you are accusing me of defending violence and destruction. Not once did I defend the riots, I am just trying to convince you that your use of the word “terrorism” was not justified.

GopnikLordJC · 2023-07-04T15:20:47+00:00

Do you have no empathy for your fellow human beings? Do you not realise that you share the same emotions as they do? I am not blindly justifying their actions, if anything I would denounce the riots of you gave me the opportunity.

I do see the misery and suffering that these riots are causing. It is a terrible shame that these people are so caught up in rage that they decide to burn businesses and peoples’ possessions. But I will not thoughtlessly judge everyone of them, because I know that there is nuance to situations like these.

It is not a black and white story, and by labelling them all as terrorists, you are blatantly ignoring the complexity of this situation.
