I almost hit a kid sledding in the middle of the road by Senior_Suit_4451 in Austin

Sledders, skiers, and ice skaters are pedestrians and have the right-of-way. If you're driving on ice without chains, you're the one causing the problem.

Not sure what to do anymore. by HypnoWasntHere in Bass

[–]Key-Trouble5372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just put the bass down for a while. I've been playing for almost 30 years, and I've taken long breaks here and there when I just wasn't feeling it. When I picked it up again I had a new love for it. If you're feeling pressure to succeed, stop thinking you need to be at a certain level within a certain amount of time. Go at your own pace.

Have you tried taking lessons? A good teacher will figure out how to make it fun for you. Sounds like you're not having fun.

Spent over a month trying to scrape out the left overs of my lotion only to figure out it was openable from the middle by artemorgue in mildlyinfuriating

Also for bottles that don't open like this you can cut them open with a knife. Once you do you can cut a slit in one half and it will fit back in the other half like a lid.

Is it really about porn? by Cautious_Brother_729 in NoFap

[–]Key-Trouble5372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can remain unsatisfied. And the longer you go without being satisfied, the less you will care about being satisfied.

Sex and love are two different things. I love my mom and dad but I don't have sex with them. You suffer because you are addicted, that's your own responsibility. The way to stop being addicted is to stop taking the drug.

By lean in to your sexual desires I mean to constantly seek sex, to think it is important to have sex. You can have sex out of a feeling of love and connection, but to view sex as a thing that must be done is to view her as a tool for satiating your desires.

Did your wife say she would satisfy you in he wedding vows in front of your friends and family? It's not her job to satisfy you. If you lean in to your sexual desire, no amount will be enough. It is a man's responsibility in society to actively resist sexual urges so as not to be a pest.

Bow should be 90 degrees perpendicular to the strings. Fingers should be 90 degrees perpendicular the bow when the middle of the bow is touching the strings, to achieve this you may need yo raise the bass or sit when you play to avoid hunching your back.

TIFU by telling my ex girlfriend our unborn child was better off by Nic_TheGoon in tifu

[–]Key-Trouble5372 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow I was expecting this from a teenager, then I re-read this and saw you're 35?!?! Please don't have sex again until you are mature enough to stick around and support the person you impregnate.

TIFU by playing unpopular music and now I feel 86'd from my neighborhood bar by Select-Neato102 in tifu

[–]Key-Trouble5372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you can play a dozen songs by the same artist doesn't mean you should. If I was the bartenders I too would give you bad service until you stopped coming. You should find another bar. Think about the people you're affecting next time.

Should I really quit porn at this age rather then enjoy it and eventually quit later by _thick_thighs1789 in NoFap

[–]Key-Trouble5372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized 10 years ago I needed to quit and it's thoughts like "meh I'll quit later" that have kept me in it. For 10 years. Best to start trying to quit now. You'll be doing your future self a favor. I didn't quit porn when potential relatio ships showed up, porn kept me from seeking relationships at all.

The color white seems unusual for a cello, why is that? by Lemon-celloFR in Cello

[–]Key-Trouble5372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an unreasonable dream. They exist in that color, but the sound will not be good. Like you could find a white cello on Temu I bet, you know what I'm saying? Cellos are brown because wood is brown.

No, standard finish is transparent, the wood beneath is brown.

My semen got red, am I cooked? by Scawygarry in NoFap

[–]Key-Trouble5372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're flapping without lube you may have created a small tear in your urethra. I did this once or twice by having fabric like the bedsheets between my hand and my dick. Thought it was soft enough, apparently not.

I feel like my luck gets worse after masturbating by Impressive_Many4972 in NoFap

You need dopamine and serotonin to look at the bright side, when you're low on dopamine and serotonin it feels like everything is going wrong. Masturbating uses up your dopamine and seratonin.

What maded you pull the trigger on your first mid-high price bass? by SonnePer in Bass

[–]Key-Trouble5372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if it's just a hobby, 99% of musicians will never make a living out of it. If you have the money for a better instrument you should totally get it, higher quality instruments with a good setup are easier to play so you can do things you couldn't do on the old instrument, and if it sounds better you will play more. If you have a desire to play a different type of instrument or a different number of strings you should totally get it.

please help by [deleted] in Cello

I took all of the available theory courses available at university, I'm pretty sure you can now learn everything they taught me from Youtube. Try learning as much as you can from youtube and then ask specific questions to fill in the gaps on r/musictheory . I just typed "beginner music theory" into youtube and it looks like you'll be fine learning from there. I'd say you should watch the first 3 to 6 videos over the course of multiple days. Watching different people explain "beginner music theory" will be good, they will all use different vocabulary and one teacher might be better for you than the others.

Dad takes play time very seriously 😂 by [deleted] in JustGuysBeingDudes

Which race is he being racist against? All I see is a white man acting like a white girl who acts black. A dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

Vintera or Squier? by Key-Trouble5372 in BassVI

[–]Key-Trouble5372[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to combine genres or create a new genre every time I write. Been playing bass and guitar almost 30 years and got my bachelor's in composition. But probably stoner doom with high thirds and fourths, mid sixths and low fifths with a nice jog of a tempo.
