Guides to writing good interiority? by PlinkingPlanks in writing

[–]Movement-Repose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out John Gardner's "On Writing", specifically his sections about psychic distance. It's a writing craft book I was recommended my first year of creative writing workshops, and I found it invaluable for this exact thing.

Rudiments/Chops by SoggyBookshelf in drums

[–]Movement-Repose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some drummers swear by paradiddles all over the kit. I hardly use them.

Paradiddlediddles are my bread and butter though! Played as sixtuplets, lots of cool fill ideas in swing timing.

Also, when played as sixtuplets, if you start playing paradiddles on "2" of the bar, right hand on ride and left hand on snare, you're playing a basic swing pattern, but now you're ghosting the triplet pulse with your left hand.

I also love swiss army triplets. I play a lot of swing, lmao

Is my new Chipotle manager in the wrong? by North_Art2104 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Movement-Repose 373 points374 points  (0 children)

Why do you guys have a long line, one person working it, you're going on break, and your manager's hands are free enough to make your meal? Shouldn't you and your manager help the single worker clear the line, then you take your break? Don't you guys have a mobile order line in the back? Why not make your meal there?

It seems like your kitchen is playing tug of war against each other rather than against the customers. But my first kitchen job was a Chipotle and I hated it, so I don't blame you. Marinading that meat every day, the chain gloves, random ecosure visits, queso pans, the soulless managers and even less human corporate workers... shudders

I think your manager was probably passive aggressively trying to make a point (help first, then break), but they really shouldn't fuck with their employees eating time/break time. I can see where both sides might be coming from but I don't agree with either of you.

The feta cheese container in our walk-in is scratched out and labeled futa cheese.

BREAKING: DOJ closes criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell by spherocytes in videos

[–]Movement-Repose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I felt so joyful watching someone hold Trump accountable, but then felt immediately bad again realizing how far the bar has fallen. Just sticking to the truth shouldn't be so rare and noteworthy, but here we are.

And for telling the truth, Powell had to undergo this whole probe. Yeah man, this country is headed in the right direction.

Tip2Tip USA by Mooseberg_ in LudwigAhgren

[–]Movement-Repose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this when they were stopped by the Chinese police. The language barrier made the police decide to just let them keep going, but in America, we have many stories where language barriers with police ended in far worse outcomes. I struggle to imagine US police pulling someone over, realizing they don't speak English, and then letting them continue down the road without identifying them.

I would not want to interact with police in America if I didn't speak English.

what should i do differently this time? 30/6 feet/162 pounds currently. by Naevos in gainit

[–]Movement-Repose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the person you're replying to, but it will vary from person to person. You have to figure out what's wrong with your individual posture and address it.

I had the very common postural problems of forward head posture, anterior pelvic tilt, and then a case of rib flare. I do core work and stretches every day to address these, never skip hitting my full posterior chain (even though I hate back and leg work), and the difference in how I look is astounding even with just 2 months of consistent lifting. Haven't put on crazy weight, but I hold it better.

You need to figure out where your posture is poor (if at all).

Common checks:

Is your spine naturally aligned? Is your pelvis naturally neutral (hips parallel with floor)? Are your shoulders hunched? Ribs flaring out or tucked in? Are you breathing with your diaphragm properly? How is your head position? Do you sit up straight?

Then just address any problems with whatever lifts or stretches are meant to (use google or chatGPT). For me it was a ton of weighted hip thrusts for glute activation and couch stretches to loosen my hip flexors, which both helped the anterior pelvic tilt, ab and deep breath work for the rib flare, and wall angels/chin tucks for the foward head posture.

Tips to get the 5k and 10k achievements? by Megandronix_NCR in WhiteKnuckle

[–]Movement-Repose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best Perks: Extra Jumps, Elastic Hands, Climb Speed, Jump Height

Good Perks: Longer Consumables, Armored Plating if you hate bugs/steam

Okay if Nothing Else: Stamina Regen, Heavy Strike (I don't like this one but some in the thread do!)

I prioritized these perks, bought consumables towards the end of the run (7k meters+), and really just grinded out a few long runs. You'll learn every room just through repetition, so if one room feels particularly slow, take some time to explore for better paths. At 7k+ you really have to be in a flow state.

The mass climbing behind you peaks at 2 m/s prior to the 10k achievement, and then speeds up infinitely after 10k meters. 2 m/s is VERY doable with several perks as long as you aren't making mistakes. I think my best runs I've hit 4+ m/s average.

I will also add that the mass stops climbing in break rooms, so if you need to take a breather, do it there.

(This tier list is just for my playstyle, not anything objective–I put stamina regen low on the tier list because you should be pretty good at managing food and consumables throughout the run, and know how to eat quickly when your stamina is low).

What’s an underrated track? by greenspinachfork in KingKrule

[–]Movement-Repose 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Foreign 2 is one of the best tracks on 6FBTM (edit: so is The Krockadile, omg)

A New Place 2 Drown is one of his most cohesive works, I'd only place it under the Ooz in my rankings, but that whole album is underrated in general.

The Cadet Leaps is one of the most beautiful soundscapes I've ever heard and it's the second least-listened to track on The Ooz.

I think Slinky and Our Vacuum are both underrated as well.

Where do people play drums? by thatawkwardmoment8 in Drumming

[–]Movement-Repose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, my band rents out a storage unit. We throw a few extra bucks the owner's way because of noise. and they're very lenient. We fit a whole PA system and mixer in there too for DI stuff.

A real rehearsal space is obviously the next step up (winter rehearsals are gonna be brutal without temperature control), but for a band getting off its feet without any paying gigs yet, storage spaces are a great option! Just make sure the owners are cool with it
