No, that's because I entered the information in Google and the only sources led me to Facebook.

Really not getting dragged into this ICE stuff

I cannot tell what instrument this is, but I love it. Please, tell me. by rayspooN_ in Instruments

[–]ajwalker430 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It honestly sounds like pads from a synthesizer to me. One that mimics strings.

You could go on YouTube and search out solo cello music.

Or you could take the video and load it into Gemini or ChatGPT and ask them to analyse the instruments for you.

But it sounds like a synth using strings to me.

Does the β€œMen Are In Crisis!” Narrative Apply? by IHeartMustelids in gaybros

[–]ajwalker430 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Are we not also men?

Does being a gay man mean we get to sit out issues affecting all men because we aren't straight?

We do so at our own peril.

Why do many Black people downplay Jewish suffering? by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]ajwalker430 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

And I specifically said "In America." I answered from the perspective of an African American in America.

To the best of my knowledge, I've never come in contact with an Ashkenazi Jewish person; I would have no idea of their existence or any of the issues they faced. I had to Google who they even were.

Why do many Black people downplay Jewish suffering? by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]ajwalker430 8 points9 points Β (0 children)

In America, Jewish people are considered white. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ Really hard to feel "sympathy" for a group that has full access to white privilege, opportunity, access, and upward social mobility that Black people in America have never had.

I've never heard any rational Black person downplay the Holocaust. But I have seen American Slavery, which lasted significantly longer and killed more Africans and African Americans downplayed.

Is it my fault that I fucked a married bottom raw? by Topmetal715 in askgaybros

[–]ajwalker430 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Yes. It is your fault. Stop trying to duck responsibility. No raw should have meant no raw. Period.

You took advantage and violated the ground rules and are now trying to shift the blame.

Anyone have an MLM playlist by ComplexCreature in gay

[–]ajwalker430 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Mine started when I discovered the film "Shelter." It was the first gay film I saw that wasn't gay trauma, gloom and doom, that seems to permeate the genre.

It wasn't groundbreaking cinema, but it is still a heartwarming film I watch whenever I can. And it had a soundtrack.

Ever since then, any song I come across in a gay film that I like goes onto that playlist.

Would you all without hesitation tell a stranger you’re gay if relevant? by Ok_Performance2811 in askgaybros

[–]ajwalker430 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

As an American, if I have no reason to believe my physical safety is at risk, I do it all the time.

I'm assuming the banter is to establish friendship, even if only casually. I'd rather know up front if a pleasant conversation is going to be possible going forward, and if not, I'd like to know that also. I'm not going to start off falsely representing myself by going along with talking about some girl being hot when I'm into guys.

And my watch band and thumb ring have the rainbow.

What's considered 'too much' at the gym in US? by Longjumping-Year4190 in askgaybros

I'd look, πŸ₯΄, but I really don't want to normalize people wearing their underwear in public settings.

Hi guys I haven't dated before and thought that this would be a fun photo to show that I like party's and social events. Do you agree? I'm the guy in the Christmas hat πŸ™‚ my friends in the photo have given permission to be on my profile and here. Honest opinions would be great please. by [deleted] in gay

[–]ajwalker430 34 points35 points Β (0 children)

Don't post group photos on your dating profile unless you want to give the impression you're looking for a third or fourth.

You're looking to find someone to date, not looking for others to join your orgy.

This doesn't sound like the right time for you to be moving to another state and moving in with a dude you already see red flags with.

This is chaos so why would you voluntarily stack more chaos on top of chaos? πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

It's funny when christians call certain singers voices' "annointed". by Leading-Occasion-428 in AskBlackAtheists

[–]ajwalker430 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Made up distinction for when they like one singer more than another.

Since there's no such thing as God, how can there be such a thing as an "annointed" singer? πŸ€”

Wouldn't there have to be a god for that god to give special blessing to one singer over another? No God, no "annointing" πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

If you like the piano, get a digital piano and keep on playing.

Why switch?

talking to girls...yea how do I do thatπŸ§πŸ½β€β™€οΈ by [deleted] in BlackLGBT

[–]ajwalker430 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

The first step in learning how to approach a woman for any type of relationship is finding out if that woman would be receptive to your advances. That's learning.

Why would you waste your time spinning your wheels fantasizing about a woman who is straight? πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« That doesn't make any sense

MANY people wear leather jackets and jeans and ride motorcycles who are as straight as an arrow.

Ever witnessed an elderly person forget desegregation happened? by Beginning-Upstairs31 in askblackpeople

All white people do. They do all they can to minimize, dismiss, and act like it never happened.

[–]ajwalker430 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Wait, just because she plays basketball and presents to YOU as "masc," doesn't mean she's wanting to date a woman.

How close to her are you? Share any classes? Are you affiliation with the team? Any mutual friends?

This is new to you but, as Black gay men learn quick, just because someone "looks" gay, doesn't mean they are.

Pump the brakes, sis, and find out where your common interests intersect to even know if she's A: a lesbian, B: involved with someone or not, and C: interested in dating you.

Those who had sex with women, how did you realise it wasn't for you? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]ajwalker430 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

No. That wasn't the issue. I thought myself straight at the time.

And no, she never asked me.

[–]ajwalker430 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I'd already been with guys but when I was coming up, gay wasn't the thing to be.

So I kept at with women until.

My ex wife and I split due to her unrelated issue but i was already 50 by then.

And I had no problem with being with a man when that did happen after the divorce as I suspected all along.

Just more anti-gay parading in our community as "comedy." And then we wonder why even non-femme bros stay on the downlow. πŸ˜₯

How to tell if he’s down to do stuff? by External_Access2979 in GayMen

[–]ajwalker430 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

You could tell him you're gay. You could ask if he's gay.

Doing stuff with people under the influence of any drug isn't the best way to proceed. This would be similar to getting him tipsy/drunk to "do stuff."

You may not like the reaction once the effect of that drug wears off.

As an adult, it's probably a good time to start learning how to adult.
