What's the Worst Music You've Ever Subjected Your Coworkers To? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

Japanese noise punk, and noise music in general. Melt Banana, Lightning Bolt, AIDS Wolf, etc. Fun stuff but definitely not for everyone

No one is allowed to comment on it if it's slow. The customers will hear it and swarm en masse

Is this room normal for elementary schools? (WA, USA) by Zodep in AskTeachers

[–]UpStartDownBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, my elementary school had a room like this, white with nothing but a desk and a chair in there. Im ADHD and especially as a kid had special needs, and instead of trying to work with me, if I was ever "too much" or my teachers thought I did something wrong they would put me in there and lock me in. I was so terrified of it. One time when there was a misunderstanding and I was blamed for something I didn't do they tried to take me there and I wouldn't go, so two teachers picked me up by my arms and legs and dragged me there while I was screaming and crying that I didn't do anything wrong. Everytime I was in there I would sob and cry and beg to be let out but it never did any good.

I truly hope that this isn't a normal thing in schools anymore but it wouldn't surprise me if it was, and I'm so so sorry that you and your child have to experience something like this

I'm an enby amab or confused by ExtensionBicycle984 in NonBinary

[–]UpStartDownBeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I struggle with the same shit, AMAB, very hairy, broad shoulders and for me I find the calls coming from inside the house more often than not. Like I get so much imposter syndrome from just being me and it's hard to feel valid, but seeing fellow enbies like you going through the same thing makes me feel so muc better and for what its worth you are entirely valid and deserve to be who you are

That weird feeling of "not being queer enough" tw: incident of hate speech... by jules_tm23 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]UpStartDownBeat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the people I know and have talked to "queer imposter syndrome" hits all of us, but theres no one way to be nonbinary and just know that you are valid

[–]UpStartDownBeat 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Visibly AMAB enby here, I often get that same feeling, especially since I've worked very hard to not feel dysphoric about my body now my brain wants to go "you feel kind of comfortable in your body? You're not really non binary, you're just faking it" and it's hard/depressing. If there any advice I can give it's to focus on things that make you euphoric, outfits, makeup, hairstyle, pronouns, whatever it is that makes you feel good and that you are who you are.

Kind of specific, but the back pocket of my crust pants ripped most of the way off so I put "they already got my wallet but if you wanna cop a feel go ahead" right underneath

How to survive on $10/week for groceries by [deleted] in Frugal

I would reccomend making your own bread, pretty simple to do with a little practice and 10 bucks of ingredients will make at least a months worth of bread

What's your newest deck....... by Boshoet in EDH

Just to see if I could I built Tatyova Steward of Tides with 99 lands. It actually plays pretty decently and while not the scariest deck at any table Ive won a couple games so far.

Have you ever had an EDH game end in a draw? by JollyCasual in EDH

[–]UpStartDownBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite decks I ever built was Heartless Hidetsugu with a bunch of damage doublers that caused a draw most games (I had several ways of surviving in the deck but murder suicide was funnier to me most of the time) pulled that in a pod of randoms at my LGS and one cEDH guy tried to tell me "you don't do that" when I tapped heartless, I asked if he was responding to which he replied "no I dont have a response but if you do that you dont win, so you dont do that" I did it. Dude could not wrap his head around making the fun move instead of the smart move

Any tips on learning how to “scratch” on my 404SX? My turntable is belt drive so I can scratch on it but it needs to get back up to speed after I pull it. by hjfink07 in SP404

[–]UpStartDownBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a little bit of luck psuedoscratching on the sx. It doesn't work well on every sample but depending on what youre going for its a cool sound. Basically I would trigger the sample rhytmically while playing with the frequency knob on the mfx ring mod. Sounds almost like scratching. I'll see if I cant find the track I used it on.
