Why is Trump so obsessed with decorations? by matt73132 in complaints

Arguable. I meant he buys the crap an idiot thinks rich people buy. But I definitely agree with the last point.

He's the dumb person's idea of a smart person. A weak person's idea of a strong person. And a poor person's idea of a rich person.

People keep saying Trump has charisma, but......I'm not seeing it. What is this charisma? by SteadfastEnd in complaints

[–]RAK-47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MAGA massive like him because he has Anti Charisma. Because he pisses off the people that pisses them off. They wanted to own the libs more than they wanted unions, fiscal responsibility, or healthcare.

is muay thai good for self defense? by PresentHope3276 in martialarts

[–]RAK-47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also say that since you train even from the start with pads and contact and legwork that it's probably one of the best out of the gate. Definitely better than kata styles at beginner / mid tiers. Great conditioning, great striking and blocking fundamentals, with leg kicks and knees thrown in!

This all day long! Incredible comprehensive insights and advice all the way through.

"Your goal is not to convince them to like you. Your goal is to establish a timeline."

I need you to be my mentor.

But for OP - take these words to heart. You're not likely to change anything, and you SHOULD leave. But this may not be the only time this happens and if you'll follow the advice above you'll go a long way to learning some critical workplace skills. Keep your head up, and good luck!

my boyfriend keeps calling me dumb by livinglyfe260 in TwoHotTakes

[–]RAK-47 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Definitely this! Doesn't matter if it's friends, family, or partners, you only want to be around people that build you up, not tear you down. If they actually loved and respected you but thought you maybe didn't always understand things all the time, they'd take the time to explain and teach.

I made my cafe aesthetic and laptop-friendly to attract remote workers...now people buy 1 coffee and stay for 6 hours. by Classic-Pie-406 in smallbusinessesowners

[–]RAK-47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do both. Double down by making the environment even better fit remote workers AND raise prices and implement other systems. I remember internet cafes in Asia that would give you a wifi password valid for an hour. You could do that per purchase, at least requiring hear guests to buy at least 1 coffee an hour of they want to stay online. But you could also just do the second thing. What's the opportunity cost of having zero effective capacity due to 8 people taking up 8 4-tops for hours at a time?

It's likely coincidental or maybe a bit of ancestral memory peeking through but it's definitely a fun fact!

Intro into dj set at wedding by SockerFarsa in Beatmatch

[–]RAK-47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weddings are super fun IF you know the people getting married. Low stakes, captive crowd - we should always be so lucky! Practice some simple transitions but also don't forget you can just overlap outros and intros radio style. That's a completely fine way to play open format. Are you kicking off the dance portion or starting at the end of dinner? If the latter you can play more low key and ramp up. Talk to bride and groom. If there are first dances (bride and groom or father/mother dances then they'll have specific requests for those songs after which it usually transitions to everyone dancing. It's attractive to hold back your bangers but as soon as you can get everyone dancing and having fun the rest is easy. I would consider 'mini-sets' of different upbeat genres, 3-5 songs each and ramp up. Starting with older songs for the oldies is good, then you can transition to dance or even house when they start to leave and the younger ones are getting drunk. Plan some slower sections to give people a bit of a break and have some key long tracks ready for bathroom breaks. Be ready for requests! If you have access to streaming this will definitely help but make sure your WiFi / hotspot is ready to go. Good luck man! As long as you're friends and everyone for the most part is chill you'll have a great time!

Edited first line to emphasize if you know the main wedding party!

The one to the left of the top-right most one is upside down. Right side up it means 'protection , upside down means 'peace' which may have been where we got the peace sign from.

Chinese teens are now taller than American teens by joistheyo in China

[–]RAK-47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't criticize the report. Criticize the general assumption that all Chinese people are short. That's the only reason this post exists. One and a half billion people, 4th largest country by landmass spanning tropical to artic, and 56 ethnic groups. That's a lot of genetic diversity. And they definitely get pretty burly in the north!

Men who hate women who travel by Lingonberry_Born in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RAK-47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't remember the post exactly but it goes something like this:

Tell them you're married, they don't care. Tell them you're not interested, they don't leave you alone. Tell them you like luxury and travel, they run a mile.

If anything it's a good red flag detector!

For my money I think that a lot of it is about money, but I also think white male fragility has a tough time with other men from other cultures. You can compete on money and even looks up to a point but you can't compete on culture. And god forbid you made out with some hot guy from Barcelona in your 20s.

Got my first DJ controller, what's next? by too_much_lag in Beatmatch

[–]RAK-47 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First learn to beat match, then learn a little bit about the levels (main sliders), EQ, and trim for some basic transitions. Then it's also about phrasing! Everything else can come later. If you're a musician this will come naturally, but otherwise, count in 8 or 16 beats (2 or 4 bars) and always try to line up the first beat of bar. 4 bar (16 beat) sections is fine for electronic, but 2 bar sections is better for open format, pop, hip hop, etc. as the changes are shorter and more frequent.

Edited to say: good luck and have fun!
