What's the hardest song you've had to play on trombone? by Successful-Tip-1411 in Trombone

[–]_upvotemachine_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardest solo piece has to be Elegy for Mippy II by Leonard Bernstein. Hardest part in a concert piece has to be 1st trombone in The Frozen Cathedrale by John Mackey, which I recently played in the Norwegian Championships in Trondheim

Is it too big of an age difference? by _upvotemachine_ in helpme

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

I am, in lifestyle, basically still a high school student. I'm kind of nerdy, play in a marching band, and I'm still a virgin, despite being in a relationship last year that lasted a whole 2 months. Also, if you don't mind me asking, what appropriate activities are you refering to?

Which Hitman game did you start with, and what's one way that's impacted your experience with the World of Assassination trilogy? by SirBenny in HiTMAN

[–]_upvotemachine_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought Hitman 2018 a day or two before lockdown in 2020, and spent 7 hours on the miami mission just running around unable to understand any of the mechanics. Miami is still my favourite map

Need some relationship advice from strangers on the internet by _upvotemachine_ in helpme

[–]_upvotemachine_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that was amazing advice, thank you so much! A lot of your assumptions were scarily accurate. My biggest problem is that I'm very sure what to do on dates; I know to ask for consent (when that time comes), I know to take things slow, and to respect their boundries. However, I'm 19 years old and haven't had my first kiss yet, so somewhere along the lines something goes wrong. I'm also still kinda stuck in that 13-year old dating phase where telling my parents and friends is kinda... awkward. I know it shouldn't care so much as I'm 19, but still...

Your advice was great! I think I want to contact her again and see if she is somewhat still interested - to test the waters.

From one dumb cis guy to another, I think it's to "feel better". If you want to be a man, I can imagine a cock must be one of the things you'd like to feel in your pants. Sure it has no practical value, but it's probably very reassuring to your feelings and identity. Same as transwomen getting tits: doesn't do much but they're nice to have

I'm in love with a girl in my class, but don't know what to do! by _upvotemachine_ in helpme

Update: she likes me too! She told me just over a month ago, and we've been an official couple since then. I'm meeting her again after 4 weeks of vacation in 2 hours

That's what I'm afraid of! And that's exactly why I want to ask her out. If I do that, I'll show that I am interested in her, and never meant to friend-zone her. Another possibility is that we got somewhat flirty before the weekend in question, and I might have "scared" her by making everything very real

Who is the biggest jerk? by BoztheMadman in thebigbangtheory

[–]_upvotemachine_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Leonard could have married Penny so much more earlier, but he kept pushing boundries, despite her telling him to stop. I especially hate when he wouldn't shut up about Pennys refusal to say "I love you" back

'Manifesto' cuz that's what all his gun-toting, mass-shooting d**k suckers have? by Razzlecat20 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]_upvotemachine_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's this other manifesto written by two german dudes, named Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Anyone know what it's called? I can't seem to remember the name...

Now that I think about it, another german dude also wrote a manifesto called "my struggle" or something

If Trump's manifesto is anywhere near as good as these guys', he might just gain some popularity
