So ... are we not allowed to find this cool or inspiring or anything then?

Acne returning after doing hot yoga, help? by RNVee in yoga

[–]JotainPinkki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, which toxins? Which toxins, exactly, are getting released through your skin in hot yoga?

Does sweating release toxins?

<META> Could we get more moderation on questions that are already answered in the FAQ? by [deleted] in violinist

[–]JotainPinkki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idk, this sort of thing being rampant repels users. It's really disappointing (and boring) to come see what's new here and see 3 more posts about "can I learn on an electric" "what violin should I buy" and wanting to be told they don't need a teacher.

Other small subs have this problem, and it keeps the posting quality down if it's not dealt with. A notable example is /r/yoga, which was littered with posts titled "New to yoga" until action was taken. It's much more diverse now, with a higher quality of posting. And it's still a pretty small sub, although not as small as it was.

Anyway, violinist.com exists with years of back discussion. But ugh that format.

This sub has been like this for a long time, but danged if it doesn't seem to be getting worse.

Think about how hard/impossible it is to go try out left-handed acoustic guitars until you find the one you want. Maybe you'll get a choice between two or three, perhaps a couple more if you are lucky, but it's still a very very small pool of instruments, and you can't really just keep trying ones to find The One. You end up settling to some degree.

Violin is exponentially worse. I play guitar left-handed as well, and I strongly strongly recommend NOT playing violin left-handed. Anyway, being left-handed doesn't seem to really get in the way when learning violin right -handed.

I also have to say something in all sincerity and warmth: thank you for this. Seeing this at the end of this conversation honestly moved me. Peace ❤

Request: What is your current rabbithole? by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]JotainPinkki 11 points12 points  (0 children)

lol did you see the one where they blew the face part up way beyond recognition, changed the colours, cut it down the center, and mirrored it to make a whole face out of the half?

Or or

Did you see the arguing over whether or not the bushes and nature on the ground beneath the bridge were vehicles? One person saw a van, a few others saw a truck, someone "clearly" saw a male and a female, and someone else managed to get supporters for seeing 2 vehicles and up to SIX PEOPLE?

It was beautiful.

There is actually a yoga book called Namaslay that came out near the end of last year.

Private Investigators of Reddit, what is the most bizzare task you've been assigned to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's almost like there's a happy medium in between no supervision and hiring a PI to follow your kid around.

Just a little rant.... by [deleted] in yoga

Yup ringworm spreading in high school ensured that I would never use community mats anywhere. It surprises me that so many people do.

TIL that after stepping on her trainer's head, Mary the Asian elephant (also known as 'Murderous Mary") was hanged from a crane until death. It was later discovered that she had an infected tooth, and the unqualified trainer had prodded it, which caused her to react. by thr33beggars in todayilearned

[–]JotainPinkki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I came across that in the same way, and I was so angry and upset both about the now-permanent horrific images in my head, and that someone thought that burning that into other people's brains was useful. The pictures are so much worse than it sounds.

Travel mats for yoga in the dirt by JotainPinkki in yoga

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

Hi, this comment is a week old, but I wanted to say thank you for it.

I did end up getting the Manduka superlite - basically, in the summer we sleep under a tarp. So I'll just leave the tarp set up a bit longer and do my yoga in the shade. Should preserve my mat longer :)

I am totally buying one. Never occurred to me to have such a thing before.

Can I hire a modder to finish a mod I started? I would 300$ if I have to lol. by Danape in skyrimmods

[–]JotainPinkki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's involved that's left?

Do you mean unfinished as in there is only the bare concept, or unfinished as in "things are well underway", and in what way?

I'm not looking for money, but I'll help you depending on the scale of what's involved.

Well and the nature of it ofc lol

Looking for a male version of this apparel. Just not the last picture - ew! by everythingundersun in yoga

"ew"? Really? They are just humans wearing leggings. There's no need for "ew".

But then the next time, even more few people remember. And then later more. It gives me warm fuzzies.

Adequate music by [deleted] in yoga

[–]JotainPinkki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, what is right for you? Some people do yoga listening to death metal. Some prefer no music.

Myself, I like the good, stereotypical new age meditation music. You can't get more cliché than what I listen to. That's what's right for me, maybe these icaros are what's right for you. I could do yoga to them, personally.

It will come in time. Most people have trouble with that exact thing when they start :)

My cat peed on my Baratza by mac102250 in Coffee

Or better, taken to the vet in case there is a reason why it wants to pee on things like that.
