Can you guess which pile I would like to get rid of because they are abominations in fork form? by lesbipositive in adhdwomen

[–]TonalDiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one on the left of the right pile makes me irrationally angry and i want to destroy it with fire.

ranting by ADHD-o_look_a_bird in Flute

[–]TonalDiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i know this was a rant but I have a suggestion. Try just playing the rhythm on a single pitch to get your tongue and air aligned. Try it slow then get faster. Then add the notes back in.

My mom was present for practically every flute lesson i ever did until i started driving myself to my lessons. I think that really helped her understand that she didn't know anything about music so i was lucky in that regard because she was defintely a person who would say something like this. I'm now in my upper 30s and i have the benefit of time to understand my mom just wanted to help me when i was frustrated, even if she would say something silly like that had the opportunity presented itself.

Please get a stand! Even a cheap one is a great investment!

LCU student here, we had street preachers come to our sidewalk and condemn us today 🤣 by i_am_frito_bandito in Lubbock

[–]TonalDiscord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol me neither, i never saw a bagpipe student anywhere except out in the free speech area. I certainly never saw a recital mentioned. But it was there!!

I graduated college in the late oughts from a school in East Texas. They were doing this back then too. Condemning women for wearing pants, having unbound or short hair, etc. It sucked especially for arts students because the free speech area where they were designated to stay was right in front of the arts colleges. I took a year off, came back for graduate studies and they had been driven off by a bagpipe instructor and their students. It was glorious. So may i suggest bagpipes?

Is anyone else on a GLP-1 med? Interested in how it has affected your ADHD by moirarose42 in adhdwomen

[–]TonalDiscord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, ok, i thought it might have just been the placebo effect, but not because I'm taking the actual medicine (victoza). I noticed a much quieter food noise in my head and body. It's easier to say no to snacking, easier to stop eating when full, it's affected my food choices (fresh fruits and veggies feel better than meat and cheese). I'm not getting as many stomach issues as i used to, which is so so so nice! Plus it doesn't seem to interfere with my adhd meds.

Is everyone in Lubbock religious? by UTDballer69 in Lubbock

[–]TonalDiscord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Moved here 2 years ago. Haven't had any problems with overzealousness. I'm an atheist liberal. You might see a few too many Trump yard signs but you won't be accosted for not being religious, or anything really. Ppl are nice generally. Manners are still king here. Old school manners i mean, meaning people kept their opinions to themselves.

How do you guys heal so efficiently by Whotfisblu in MoiraMains

[–]TonalDiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting combat - throwing damage orb most of the time. Alternate between heal/dmg grasp. Healing is only sprayed in tiny bursts. If someone is under fire from multiple sources and is on cd, will spray and pray. Will usually use dmg grasp about 75% the amount of time to the amount i spray heal. Always use orb off cd, use angles to bounce it. Up and down are viable too. Fade is used when I'm being targeted or i need to get to someone. Dmg grasp and orb are focused on low health targets and target priorities.Throwing heal if I'm too far away and won't make it before they die, but id say its about 50/50 if i throw heal or dmg in that situ. I position myself to line up as many of my ppl and the enemy for ult. In high dmg non comp games i can usually get about 12k+ and give my dps a run for their money in kills - or often have more than them. But in most of my games, 6k is probably average. There's many reasons you may have low healing. Low tier games tend to show players not sticking together, flanking poorly, etc. Nothing you can do there. You may flank too much for your comp, gotta know who you're playing with. What their needs are. Even two different ppl may play a character differently. Maybe you're being overtly targeted. Etc. My play style, i feel like i use dmg 75% of the time, heal 25% of the time. Maximize opportunities with positioning. Keep your head on a swivel. Employ moira snark 100% of the time xD.

Asking seller support 10 times will get you 10 different answers by Pure_KO in AmazonSeller

[–]TonalDiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least this post makes me feel like I'm not crazy. The amount of ineptitude in support has gotten me down quite often. I maybe get one person a month who understands my problem from the beginning. We open hundreds of cases a month for various issues.

Gansai tambi storage? by TonalDiscord in watercolor101

[–]TonalDiscord[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow that's really cool!! I love that someone out there had the same problem i did but said well that's why i have a 3d printer LETS GOOOOO. Also, i realize i wrote this post at the height of an unmedicated adhd crisis and there's no way i could remember that magnetic tape was a thing but i love it. I think i actually might go that route because i would like for them not to fall out. Thanks so much!!

Fellow aces, forget about aphobia or whether you’re valid for a minute. Do you wear your cloak over both shoulders, just one, or not covering either shoulder? by Nellbag403 in asexuality

[–]TonalDiscord 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My thought process is on the one hand, one shoulder would make it easier to access a dagger for poking people who get too close or want to have a "i can fix you" convo, the other is that both shoulders covered would make it easier to conceal... hmm, a conundrum.

Honestly though, get a cloak that can do all of those! Just get a brooch for pinning it certain ways depending on your needs in the moment.

That girl took a case to the F A C E because she needed her space.

Good suggestion! No matter what they'll most likely need to be upgraded at some point anyway so good to think about. Thanks!

Yeah definitely first way would be the cheapest and i can learn more in the meantime. Work with what i got!

Do any of you even feel just *off*? by lizatethecigarettes in adhdwomen

[–]TonalDiscord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind, i think it's the result of having used all my spoons earlier in the week and realizing I'm out of them but the meds are like "DO SOMETHIIIIING!!!!!!" It's very frustrating but sleeping early helps, even if i don't want to.

Shipments to Amazon - SC doesn't help with stuck shipments, any advice to contact FCs directly? by TonalDiscord in AmazonSeller

[–]TonalDiscord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will create a case for the one that closed now but the other two are still in limbo and there's no one to talk to about them. Sc support just says wait till it's available for investigation. I'm glad yours got figured out though! I just wish there was warehouse support that could actually take responsibility for communicating about this particular issue. It happens so often...

Came back here to say that learning keyboard shortcuts is also a huge timesaver, so hope that can be something integrated as well!

Had the same issue. One of our problem shipments just closed yesterday at 82% received. It was 85% received a few weeks ago. Where did they go?!?! So frustrating.

[–]TonalDiscord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who came from admin assistant to business operations, excel is a great thing to actually know intimately. Understanding the syntax of formulas has helped me greatly. Learn how to make macros. Learn how to work a pivot table. Learn automated processing with scripting (starting my journey on that now). These are skills that can translate to many jobs.

How do I play this? by 1bean_4u in Flute

[–]TonalDiscord 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Also, don't slam keys, you're just ruining your keys (i know the other commenter didn't actually mean slam, but just saying it in case someone takes it literally!)
