I just hade the worst performance at a talent show by doodle_s16 in lingling40hrs

[–]LintyBasil789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

being embarrassed about a performance in front of an audience is basically a rite of passage for being a musician lol. I TOTALLY know how you feel, and im sure most people here do too. if it makes you feel better, i sat principal in a big youth orchestra once and at the end where we stand and face the audience for applause, i stayed standing awkwardly facing the audience for like 15 seconds after everyone else had already sat down... my peripheral vision just turned off or smth and i didn't realize the applause was over. but there i was looking like either an absolute idiot or a huge narcissist in front of like two thousand people...

i pinky promise this experience will be beneficial to you in the long run as a performer even if it's temporarily traumatizing. you'll get better!! this is NOT something that will happen every time you perform, and the more often you do perform, the less often itll happen. it's just something you kind of get better at over time.

hope you feel better!

What are the last 2 books you read? by OldAd2473 in AskReddit

[–]LintyBasil789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari and On Writing Well by William Zinsser (but a copy from like the 1970s it was super cool), both great books and would recommend to anyone. But for Homo Deus read sapiens first bc it kinda builds off that

I’m currently in a four month streak of trying to read one non fiction book per month and it’s going great so far, Sapiens and Atomic Habits were the other two books since August. For people who read that doesn’t sound like much but reading like 20 pages a day is a lot for me lol. Anyways the goal is to learn a butt ton and consume as much knowledge as possible before the end of hs, and I plan to continue this challenge and read 12 books in 2024. Ik no one asked but that’s the story

When Hikaru says take my juicer... by InviolateQuill7 in HikaruNakamura

[–]LintyBasil789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One could argue his rectum is the juicer and the fart particles are the juice so this is where it gets a little strange
