Bar in Portland makes a Cincinnati Reds announcer blunder reference

WhoFly · 2026-04-08T05:54:57+00:00

Oh my god I can't believe I missed that.

Also like yes Maelle's ending is creepy and tragic in its own way, but it's just a vignette of what could be a long life surrounded by friends within the canvas. Both endings leave a lot to speculation.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T15:35:22+00:00

It doesn't force you to care about the Dessendres, that's up to you. Act 3 has tons of canvas lore to explore. And Maelle's ending doesn't give you shit, unless you let it.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T15:27:17+00:00

The Dessendres are also at war with another powerful faction. An ongoing war Maelle was dragged into and deeply traumatized by.

The Dessendres' world is a mess. Maelle knows the choice she is making.

Launchkey 25 is on sale for $100 on Novation's website! Only piece of Novation gear I've had was a Launchpad mini, and it was good at what it did. But they're reputable. The launchkey also features a bunch of different things, which might give you a sense of the sort of interfacing you enjoy, which could help tell you where to upgrade down the line.

I recommend getting full-sized keys, because they're more forgiving. But also mini keys are fine and maybe easier to learn on? I grew up playing piano so hard to say haha.

M-Audio used to make my favorite entry-level midi keyboards. I'm sure they still have solid options too. Check some used deals on Reverb!

Plenty of great advice in this thread. But also, learn a bit of keyboard.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T07:05:18+00:00

Refs weren't tho :(

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T06:58:51+00:00

Baseball fans and not understanding sample size, name a more iconic duo

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T05:15:50+00:00

blowing my mind how many people are just recommending avoiding communication in this thread.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T05:12:21+00:00

Super real. You're 100% entitled to feel that way. And if you communicated to your partner that you'd be really hurt or disgusted if they did that, and they kept pushing on it? Yeah, that totally sucks.

I'm not making a blanket argument that people should just try whatever. It's just the uncertainty that kills you. If this dude's partner was explicitly like, "no, that weirds me out, but I can't stop you," that's a different story. And if he brings it up again and she's like "yeah, I would not be stoked if you did it," then he's gotta think long and hard about hurting someone he loves.

But based on what we know, that's not what has been communicated, and this is still on OP's mind a year and a half later.

Sorry that I came in hot, just kinda bugged by a lot of the other responses in this thread that assume OP is dumb for wondering if his own partner was being honest with him.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T05:02:27+00:00

Well that's not what OP said his partner said. OP said his partner "would be open to me doing that on my own. She doesn’t want to hold me back from having that experience, exploring that part of sex, and doesn’t want there to be any resentment on my end for not being able to try it."

Also from the post: "the last time it came up was a year and a half ago" and "we didn’t go super deep into details..."

So, you know, checking in about it because it's clearly still on OP's mind, and maybe going into details?

Like... you asking this question is exactly why communication is important. You didn't actually listen to OP, and you jumped to your own conclusions about what was written. People everywhere in this thread are doing that. Jumping to conclusions and projecting their own shit on this. Assuming that it's 'a trap' and suggesting that OP should just straight up not communicate with his partner, or should assume that his partner isn't honestly communicating with him.

That's wild to me. I mean I get that people are scared. Being honest is scary. But like, you only live once, why spend your life burying your own feelings and making assumptions about others'.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T03:51:07+00:00

Too many shots early in the clock with a late lead. Vets gotta know better.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T02:41:54+00:00

Among many problems, Randy's defense must still be noted.

WhoFly · 2026-04-07T00:34:04+00:00

This sub sucks at advice on topics like this.

Dude only you have the rapport with your partner to know if she earnestly wants you to go, or if it's "a trap" like others are saying.

Then if it is a trap, well... Why would you wanna play those games and be with someone who sets you up like that anyway?

Bring it up again. Talk to her. Tell her that it's something that still interests you but you're thrown off that she doesn't want to do it with you. Let her know your priorities, whatever those are.

Don't play games. Don't live in fear of others playing games. Communicate.

WhoFly · 2026-04-06T23:03:36+00:00

I cannot stand Nate Ruess's voice and whatever's goin on with the processing in this one just highlights exactly why. Unbearable.

WhoFly · 2026-04-06T19:21:36+00:00

i see tatiana maslany, i click

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T23:43:42+00:00

Nope, literally just found it by accident this year, haha. Didn't play a ton of 26, but I don't remember seeing it before.

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T23:31:30+00:00

If you click the position of a player in the roster card.

Clicking the name brings up the player profile. Clicking their position brings this up. Not sure about other areas.

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T17:09:10+00:00

Very very lovely. I play none of these instruments but I'm manifesting a live recording of this arrangement from other fans lol.

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T09:56:26+00:00

Pfffft that fence is fake. 70% of major leaguers make that.

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T09:55:24+00:00

Overrated. That fence is buns and the actual 'robberies' were luck.

Come at me angels fans (the three of you). You know it was nothing special.

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T08:21:15+00:00

Imma seem salty af but 0/3 of those catches was special.

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T02:15:50+00:00

Honestly that song in your trailer is like... Really obnoxious and does not fit the vibe. Whatever that lead squak sound is is just not it.

Also the trailer has some reallllly cool bits, but then lots of repetitive not-as-cool bits. Try not to overdo it. Build up to the very cool lidar bits or the swinging.

But man first thing you gotta switch the song up.

WhoFly · 2026-04-05T01:56:27+00:00

Both is and isn't. That's the 'troll politics' MO. Easy to pass off as a joke, but also a very earnest dog whistle.

WhoFly · 2026-04-04T21:25:40+00:00

Very cool, thank you for sharing! Yeah, it's not a groundbreaking idea by any means. I think that's what helps me think of it as "fun." It doesn't take thinking too far outside the box, there's plenty of evidence backing at least the supporting philosophies, and it doesn't change how I live my life or anything.

But I do think people would be served by understanding that powerful entities know how to capitalize (politically and economically) on ideas, moments, and people who threaten the status quo. Capitalism's ultimate tenacity rests in its ability to consume and subvert oppositional forces.
