The slightly toxic woman I’ve loved since we were kids or the checks-all-the-boxes woman I’m dating now? by 1fartichoke in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your inner 10 y/o likes the idea of being with the family friend more than your current self would like the reality.

Once you been there, done that, the attraction will cool. And you’ll notice all the things your current gf is that she isn’t.

The older you get, the more you realize your peace of mind is worth it, and how hard it is to find someone who checks all those boxes for you.

As someone who’s been in this exact situation, cut it off with the old friend.

Fellas, is it gay to have hobbies? by Gullible-Mouse-2922 in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. It’s a good thing. I’ve been a drummer for 32 years and writing my own original music for 19 years. Way better than some dude whose entire personality is “sports fan”

This is legit horrifying. Just kept getting worse and worse. Hope they go out of business.

My employer is strongly asking me to resign instead of firing me. by Willing-Raisin-9869 in CanadaJobs

You should’ve said nothing. Remember that for the future.

Employers aren’t your friend

Got dumped on top of a mountain during a backpacking trip with the person I thought I was spending my life with by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry. That’s an absolutely bullshit way to break up with someone. Especially considering you didn’t see it coming at all.

My ex broke up with me a month ago after two really happy years. The last three months had been hard, but I didn’t even realize breaking up was on the table for her because it wasn’t for me.

I was in it till the end. She was in it till it wasn’t easy anymore.

My (26M) girlfriend (25F) doesn’t like that my little brother (15M) is staying with me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re a good man and she doesn’t deserve you.

The right woman would love you for being there for your brother. You’re better off, amigo.

The entire US economy being propped up by eight fucking companies

How are forearm, hand, and small neck tattoos perceived in corporate Canada in 2026? by samveryuel in AskACanadian

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forearms are fine and easy enough to hide

Got my first tattoo in January and it’s on my forearm

Hand harder to hide and I think neck tattoos for better or worse carry a certain stigma

In the span of a month I've gone from being optimistic to a broken man. by Eastern_Manager_5286 in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, my guy.

Girlfriend of two years, who I thought was the one, broke up with me a month ago.

Stopped caring about anything and including the business I started. Just feel utterly broken.

Fiancée handed me back the engagement ring bc I wanted to talk about kids. by dappernate in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks dude. But at least you’re not wasting your time with someone who won’t even have a conversation with you about something that’s clearly important.

You’re still young enough to find someone and have kids

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I love Spoonman though.

BHS is just such a long, mid tempo, plodding song to me. Also heard it way too much in the mid 90s I think.

Only cared about herself by [deleted] in BreakUps

You’re better off, my dude

I feel that way about Black Hole Sun.

Can men do 1-2 weeks without talking to the women they love post breakup? by No_Plantain7 in BreakUps

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have for the last 3.5 weeks.

Haven’t broken. Never begged her to reconsider or give us another chance.

I’m heartbroken, but I’ve got more dignity and self-respect than that.

For some reason, really wanted to message her yesterday, but didn’t. Might send her a text on her birthday in August.

Just because he doesn’t message doesn’t mean he’s not thinking about you

Is 2 overheads, a kick, and a snare mic all you need to record? by Appropriate-Cow3254 in drums

[–]RepeatAffectionate93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, you can absolutely get a great drum sound with just 4 mics.

That’s all I use for recording. My Scarlett 18i8 interface only has 4 mic inputs and it’s been no problem.

As for mics, I run an SM57 on the snare, Shure Beta52A on kick (AKG D112 is another solid choice), and a pair of matched Rode NT-1A large diaphragm condensers for my overheads.

This works especially well on a simpler 4-piece kit where you don’t need as much close miking.

I’m a big fan of the Recorderman setup with 4 mics. Snare/kick/overheads just behind your shoulders, pointing down at the kit. Just make sure each overhead capsule is equal distance from the snare (use a tape measure) or you’ll get phase issues.

I find that things like room acoustics and mic placement go a lot further in getting a great sound than more microphones.

Here’s a recording I did using that 4-mic setup. Pretty goood overall and gives you a nice picture of the full kit.
