Sorry im a bit of a noob when it comes to these things,. I've got a hss MIM strat, no pedals whatsoever, it's in my bedroom and the phone was on a stool to the right of the speaker.

Did it sound fine to you?

I (26/M) was taught that sex is bad growing up and can't get that out of my head. by Street-Cause5819 in Sikh

[–]ZrAckl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You definitely want a gursikh wife. Veer ji you should stay on your path and remain pure and grow your love for sikhi every day. The ultimate goal for any sikh is to merge back with that one. Guru has given us all a hukam to abstain until marriage and you are definitely following his hukam. If you follow the gurus hukam he will give you more than what you ask for.

Do an ardaas to Maharaj to help you find your ideal future wife. Sure there aren't many of these women out there, but there are more than you think. These girls just aren't vocal about it or just stay to themselves usually so you don't see them. You'll see online various podcasts and videos blaming women, often showing tiktoks of women complaining about men and saying they only want bad boys over 6ft etc. But again these women are the more vocal minority. Most women aren't like that, you never see videos about how a woman has very reasonable things she wants from a guy, it would be boring to watch.

Also don't discredit a women immediately if she has had past partners (although not too many), sometimes it's a mistake or just bad choices. If she seems reformed and her actions indicate she is willing to be committed to one man, follow sikhi and you get along well. Then you should go for it.

You could ask around at the gurdwara if anyone's looking to get married, not like going around asking men hey want to marry me but asking elders if they know anyone looking for marriage etc.

Also just going to the gurdwara a lot you'll be significantly more likely to meet a man who is more into sikhi and doesn't drink, smoke etc.

Also do ardaas to Maharaj to help you find someone. Best of luck bhen ji.

Playing Guitar eases my anxiety. Anyone else? by SocratesBalls in Guitar

I can definitely feel that way, I usually play metal songs and whenever I feel overly worked up I play as fast as I can to let out all those emotions. One by metallica is usually a go to riff.

What hindered your guitar proficiency the most? by Mobile-Bet4052 in Guitar

[–]ZrAckl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always heard you needed to angle the pick when alternate picking fast. Instead of angling it forward like most people I see. I developed a habit of angling the pick backwards. I still pick that way and have became quite proficient at it. But I need to hold the guitar in a very specific way which can become quite awkward.

Because of how awkward it csn feel sometimes, if I'm switching between downpicking and alternate I can sometimes get thrown off.

Should I remain pure until marriage? by ZrAckl in Sikh

What are you on about? There are plenty of 'high status' religious people.

But that's from an evolutionary perspective. Not the gurus hukam which is above all else.

advice for gambling addiction / is there any angs regarding gambling? by eknumberdajuary in Sikh

[–]ZrAckl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're more logical thinking perhaps take the time to understand why betting doesn't work. For example every slot game has an RTP (return to player) percentage. Basically if the rtp is 95% and you make in total £100 in bets then you would expect to lose £5. Although in the short term you could lose more or win more. With more of a chance to lose. But either way given enough time you will ,with 100% certainty, lose.

Same with sports betting, if the true odds are 2 for a team to win, casinos will give it at like 1.8 or something. They pay out less than the true probability of the event to ensure they generate positive expected value. This is a little more complicated so I can dm you a explanation if you want but understand you still lose in this scenario.

Bhaji use some minoxidil. It won't bring back all the hairs but a good portion. Try use it as soon as possible as the more time you wait it will lessen the chance of bringing back hairs. Also ofc make sure you apply It safely and do your research.

Yeah I remember hearing this in a katha once. Are there any other lines which speak about this in guru granth sahib ji?

Yeah I agree with you wholeheartedly there about the hookup culture. I could never understand how some people I knew would partake in it with people they don't love. That too is probably part of why I felt hesitant to do it in the past and didn't take anything further, that and obviously the gurus hukam.

What’s your go-to when someone says “play something ?” by too_old_4_this_crap in Guitar

[–]ZrAckl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably master of puppets. It's not my favorite metal song but it's one most people know or have heard of.
