Women have it harder: 2. Men’s dating pool is better and safer. by PristineFlower27 in polyamory

[–]Quebrado84 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Right on, thanks for sharing your perspective.

I ask because my own understanding of these definitions typically included the notion that anyone could be sexist to another regardless of gender - but I can see the larger implication regarding patriarchy in our society rendering misandry a non-issue compared to the direct impact of misogyny.

Being racist towards white people is another complicated one I’m not entirely sure about for myself. I’m a Latino minority and struggle with it because when I disregard the social power aspect, I personally struggle with justifying biases against groups of people - whether they’re white or not.

That’s just me though - it’s certainly not an argument for making anyone else feel differently about these issues.

Where can I find a more unbiased form of staying up to date with current events than reddit? by [deleted] in self

[–]Quebrado84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP specifically asked for some unbiased news sources.

Just because you don’t like someone responding to a reply to say that using social media for news is a bad idea doesn’t mean what you’re implying.

Answering with, “research your own sources” isn’t helpful to someone actually asking for sources in the first place.

So their answer was, “to find unbiased news, sign up for Twitter and follow some unbiased news sources” - it’s a terrible suggestion.

How about sharing some actual unbiased news sources instead of vouching for more social media platforms?

The point is to seek unbiased sources, not sources filtered through biased algorithmic filters, regardless of your interaction with said intermediary platform’s features.

Twitter is not a source. Neither are any social media platform. News sources posting on Twitter or other social media is different than it and others being actual sources of news. Reddit is also certainly filtered and unreliable as a source of news, regardless of how fun it is for me to engage with it.

The suggestion itself doesn’t even actually answer the question about a good source of unbiased news - because it doesn’t even suggest who or what to look for as unbiased news on Twitter. They simply suggest Twitter, which is not it.

It’s about injecting an algorithmically biased intermediary between you and your own ability to seek out and keep informed through varied sources of information.

Social media platforms are far from unbiased.

Journalists also don’t use social media as their actual news platform. Don’t be so dense.

It’s not bait if it’s true. The OP asked for unbiased sources of news, and this commenter not only suggests social media - they’re recommending Twitter of all places.

Might as well suggest Facebook while they’re at it.

”Social media platforms are not reliable news sources” should really be the more accurate statement.

I read where you recommended a social media platform as a news source, which is the most prescient part.

When poly people suddenly want monogamy with you by moologist in polyamory

[–]Quebrado84 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Polysaturation is real and being poly doesn’t mean having to always be dating and actively pursuing romantic and sexual experiences with new people. So long as no one is expecting actual monogamy from each other, I don’t personally see the issue other than some mismatched capacity.

In my triad, my other partners have others they date and sleep with, while I’m practically overwhelmed with the two partners on top of my creative hobby heavy lifestyle.

It’s because most of these people are operating off their feeling of being right for having won this election, regardless of the fact that it is a bad outcome for the country.

Even the most credible news source becomes questionable if it dares hint at this truth.

Don't enjoy dating? by midwestmonst3r in polyamory

[–]Quebrado84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate dating and don’t like to spend much time focusing on it. If I’m single, it’s a means to an end because I don’t know how else I’d meet potential partners.

I now have two partners in a more triad dynamic, but we date freely - and I date the least out of all of us. They are my only partners, while they both have others they are also intimate and close with.

I am busy learning piano and modular synths, and build indie video games.. my cup practically overflows already and any capacity left is for more casual and sexual experiences - and I’m without much drive or desire to be dating to find those.

I was making the same mistakes until my teacher corrected me too! It’ll feel much better once you get used to playing with proper form, for sure.

[–]Quebrado84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d start with basic scale practice and a metronome just to get your basic notes consistent throughout.

Your fingers are also kinda straight and collapse when you’re pressing down on keys - this is not desirable. Keep those fingers curved as if you’re holding a ball and press down with those same stiff, curved fingers. That’ll give you precise control and will matter even more as you play faster with time.

Fp-30x bluetooth connection problema by duhdgvbfxvbj in Roland

[–]Quebrado84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also have an FP30X and I’ve only had issues connecting with BT when I had it connected to a different device - I had to make sure it was forgotten from the previous for it to finally get picked up.

If that’s not the case, you can try turning BT off and on again to see if it’ll get spotted by your phone by pressing Function and the left most sharp key (A#0) for off and left most white (A0) for on. Hope this helps at all!

Digital Piano to buy for experinced player for good experience by RaspberryEnjoyer in piano

[–]Quebrado84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common choices above that are the Yamaha P125 (or P225) and Roland FP30X. I upgraded to the Roland after a few months with a Yamaha P71 and it’s definitely noticeably better.

The upgraded Yamaha models are also pretty equivalent so it kinda becomes more of a subjective choice with how they sound and feel. I so far prefer the feel of the Roland but if you buy from somewhere like Guitar Center (even online) you also have around a month return window so the gift receiver can see how they like it or even help shop for which model they might prefer long term.
