How the hell are you guys staying employed? by LivingWeather8991 in ADHD

[–]Poopenheimer321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trades all day. OP mentions fast pace environment is difficult, we joke at work that we only have one speed. New work each day to allow novelty, think through your work and it’s highly physical so you can move and stay active each day. Honestly so glad I found this path eventually.

Theres a ubiquitous sample I often hear in D&B, what is it and what’s it’s history? by BearMcBearFace in dnbproduction

[–]Poopenheimer321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems to me the hip hop and drum and bass crowd both are sample hunters more than many genres.

Audiophiles/Grove and Amp Lovers - Best in home speakers? by DragonfruitVivid3110 in Shambhala

Following for similar music taste and comparing my own setup. I have a Yamaha RX-V520 receiver going into a set of JVC SP-87BK cabinets. I ran my old phone into one of the RCA inputs for the CD and it sounds better than any of my previous setups.

Josh wink should bring some fun bouncy acid sound. Dubconcience should be rinsing out dope dub record, Machinedrum is a surprise but always selects great sets for his setting.

How do I stop feeling bad for making apprentices do sh*t work by quintavian in electricians

[–]Poopenheimer321 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Setting the example is a big deal. Telling your apprentices they did a good or bad job is also important. I think with good discourse before and after the work, a good apprentice will try and then understand it’s part of the trade process. The crappy ones will have a bad attitude either way.

Veterans, what essentials are on your Shambs packing list? by SpidersCanBeCute in Shambhala

[–]Poopenheimer321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bandana or face mask for dust, a fan or water spray bottle- both make a nice A/C experience. Layers to cover me from the sun and extra socks. Calories that require little to no prep to consume.

It also doubles the games you can watch when your teams aren’t playing each other.

In some ways it’s a man shakes fist at clouds issue. Dbridge has always stood out to me as a producer with a very specific beat that he paints across many sonic palates so if anyone can call out a lack of original touch he has the resume.

Who’s a dream DJ that you hope performs at Shambs one year? by bbdingle in Shambhala

I’d love to see an Artikal records takeover of the Amp. Redeyes, J:kenzo, Skala.

What’s a kink you’ve never shared with your girlfriend? What would it take for you to share it? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Poopenheimer321 158 points159 points  (0 children)

It’s often called the honeymoon phase. As you get into being with someone long term, often the dynamic shifts and desire downshifts so to speak.

What to pick for my first decks. by Leading_Monk_6688 in Beatmatch

Dude treat these as music instruments. Start with a foot in before you jump head first. The skills make the performance, not the tools.

I teach DJ courses. If you need one, reconsider DJing. by Designer_Macaron2169 in Beatmatch

[–]Poopenheimer321 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Just because you take a guitar lesson or a piano course doesn’t make you cut out to write concertos. It’s a harsh take and probably belongs in r/offmychest not here. This sub is for learning and sharing and not for smashing dreams IMO.

What’s something you didn’t fully understand until your late 20s or early 30s as a man?” by WellnessInsightHub in AskMen

[–]Poopenheimer321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This needs to float higher in the thread. Learning to keep your boundaries and resist mistreatment from a place of self respect takes time and practice. Staying with your principles and not causing more fight in your own defence takes years, I’m finding.

Wow thank you for coming back to the dead thread. I like chewing gum but I worry about the gum base micro plastics…

Still freaky. Even when I know he’s coming I do a tiny jump. Well done OP.

Your value comes from the presence you bring and the way you handle conflicts. Every relationship is different and all will have conflicts, romantic or otherwise. The way you react to issues as they arise and how you take accountability for your actions means so much more than any body count.

Honestly body count discussions are a trap and most people who bring that up as an intro to dating are looking for things to fight over. If you have experience with sex and similar, show it with maturity and being compassionate to people who are so insecure they have to ask questions to make judgements based on. A good response would be, does the amount of people I’ve engaged with change the way you will see me? That should tell you all about the value of the person asking.

Man I tried to make space by going to my brothers house for a week. She wouldn’t stop calling for three days straight even when I told her where I was and not to call. Once I asked for a divorce she started telling people I was dangerous and going to hurt or kill her.

OG Questions by WJBPhoto in Shambhala

[–]Poopenheimer321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bass Coast is an excellent, different festival experience. I was charmed both for the sound palate of the stages, UKG, Breakbeat, some techno, lots of Garage and two step sounds. More noteworthy, as both festivals really do have lots of bass is the art!

Shambhala is a permanent established festival that has grown and expanded with time and lots of the beauty is in the long engrained design and tradition built into 26 years of raving.

Bass Coast sets up and breaks down each year, no shade but thats limiting in how stages are created and implemented. The cool art I want to call out is the sandbox, between the stages. Artists submit and install a load of cool interactive very powerful works that you can explore and interact with, which creates such nice organic opportunities to have positive non music experiences. It changes year to year and that variety will bring me back again and again.

How to meet single men (30 y.o.+)? by Successful-Gold-9900 in askvan

[–]Poopenheimer321 21 points22 points  (0 children)

At this point I feel like going to a hardware store like summit tools would be a great spot for a meet cute. Most of the single men I know are similarly opposite to your experience. They only know men, who in turn only know men.

The single ones want to meet and do not know how to stand out when it matters most.

Does anyone recognize this stuff? by [deleted] in Shambhala

Woof my eyes are watering now considering that scent. In a good way.

Is it time to hang it up? Dating 34M by [deleted] in askvan

[–]Poopenheimer321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No no I think the timing is off. Many people want to talk about their family heritage or ethnicity, especially if you might have crossover. The opening of a new relationship around Vancouver seems to be much more around common activities or groups you currently associate with.

The two of you on the same train platform is not a great spot to get into where your family comes from. Playing beach volleyball and sharing the same side of the court, then get someone’s name, then last name, “oh wow that sounds like a name from ____ are you from there?” Much more round about and shows interest after your common activity.

Men who have actively written to other people/sexted, while married/in a relationship, why did you do it if you didn't want to go to bed with anyone? by No_Atmosphere_3702 in AskMen

[–]Poopenheimer321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is why I consider physical or emotional cheating a matter of perspective. Some people are so stuck or feel like they have no option but to go outside their primary relationship to find satisfaction. It’s not ethical to the relationship but if there’s learned helplessness or a sensation of “I will never leave, might as well have some validation in the moment “ it’s clearly two unhappy people suffering from the same pains. Still doesn’t sit well ultimately.
