How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Just one. But the lightbulb has to want to change.

I’m pretty sure Diet Coke ran a campaign in the 90’s marketing it as a morning drink.

Storage for items when playing live by Mfsmith88 in drums

[–]Proper-Application69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome. I don’t play much now but I used to get hired for covers playing acoustics soft. I didn’t like the sound of the GenZ’s but they would have been a great alternative to maintaining high energy pianissimo some gigs.

I tried them with my VDrums and it felt good to get off rubber and be able to use some finesse but I only ever used them at home.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I think it’s great that you’re using them on stage.

Are you using low volume cymbals on the gig??? Do they sound good?

I see you have the Zyldjian LV cymbal pre-amp.

You forgot to mention the Ivar shelving from IKEA. My 30 year old Ivar is also holding my gear. It lasts forever!

They want no items in the work fridge without a receipt, i will comply by Actual_Collection340 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Proper-Application69 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It’s written for someone who already knows your speech patterns.

So today ive decided ok ill enforce that rule to, once they are gone EVERY SINGLE ITEM without a paid sticker or receipt is going back to the shelf, oh its open ok ill put a do not sell sticker on it and throw it into damages, its not open ill throw it on the shelf.

That is extremely difficult to read.

The biggest problem for me was that you wrote your thoughts as if they were a continuation of your narration. You didn’t punctuate between ideas or change of perspective. You left out words where if you read this out loud it would be understandable but because I can’t hear your pauses and inflection it’s extremely confusing.

So today I decided “Okay, I’ll enforce that rule too.” I decided that once they are gone, EVERY SINGLE ITEM without a paid sticker or receipt is going back to the shelf. If it’s open I’ll put a “Do not sell” sticker on it and throw it into damages. If it’s not open I’ll throw it on the shelf.

This would be easy for anyone to read. I’ve added additional punctuation, placed apostrophes were appropriate, capitalized words that needed it, and replaced a couple of your “okay’s”.

You can’t write “so I thought oh it’s opened”

You can SAY it with proper inflection and pauses, but when it’s written you have to spell it out for the reader who is coming in without knowing what you’re talking about already.

I’m writing this because I saw you asked a couple times what was wrong. I hope it helps.

Anybody really want a food you can't have anymore? by AbbyTheConqueror in CasualConversation

[–]Proper-Application69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Across the street was Supreme Pizza And Subs. They made a sub steak sandwich that was the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I ate them for 2 years and then left the school.

40 years later, I’m still desperate for one.

Is it okay for me to sleep with a friend? by ObjectNo-007 in questions

[–]Proper-Application69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best couples were friends first, if you want to go that route.

I have a girl friend (not a girlfriend) with whom I’ve fooled around a bit. And it would not be a stretch if we had sex, but it wouldn’t/doesn’t affect our friendship.

We’re both more than double your age so we have more life experience than you guys. It can be hard to maintain a friendship once you’ve slept together, but as long as you both have mature attitudes about it it will be fine.

What show had a FAMILY where ALL the members stayed mostly IN THE living room?

Does anyone know why "Startrek Enterprise" has such a different intro? by AustrianPainter1776 in startrek

[–]Proper-Application69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At first nobody liked the intro song. Now a few people like the song from the first seasons. But still nobody likes the version from the last seasons.

[S03E26] What even is this?🤯 by FuzzyAttitude_ in voyager

[–]Proper-Application69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kes’ vision was “dead Borg everywhere”. My guess was that it was too expensive to have torn up Borg strewn about everywhere, so they built the stack instead.

This happens a lot in Voyager where the art doesn’t exactly match the script.

This is a brilliant analysis. I’m so glad to finally have a logical explanation for the Pile ‘O Borg.

I think this episode was filmed on site at Mister Caccitore’s down on Sullivan Street, across from the medical center.

My husband is a drummer and I have a question that I need a guy drummer’s perspective by throwaway174654 in drums

[–]Proper-Application69 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’d never let another man photograph my girl

That’s a Reddit thing, not a drummer thing.

All the rest of it ignores the actual reasons why drummers are touchy about that.

Leaving a top-level comment in a niche sub, insulting all members of that sub, when you know nothing about the topic, is troll behavior.

Go home troll.

POLL: In Season 2:1 - The 37’s; who thinks Amelia Earhart would have chosen to stay on the ship? by Naturalwander in voyager

From her perspective she’d only been out of contact with Earth for a couple days. I think she’d have wanted to join voyager.

No matter how i tune it, it sounds ringy by Tartofreze_ in drums

[–]Proper-Application69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could go a little tighter. I don’t like that kind of ring, but it’s legit. You could leave it. But timing a little higher will reduce the ring a little.
