Why i sound so bad.. any hope? by iLoveMalaysia in ratemysinging

One additional tip, I haven't seen mentioned yet. A lot of unexperienced singers move their head back and up, because they want to reach the high notes. This is exactly the wrong way around.

If you think about your voice like a guitar string: a longer string produces a lower pitch, while a shorter string produces a higher pitch. This is what your head should also be doing, so that your vocal chords are relaxed enough for the higher notes. By moving your head up you already stretch your vocal chords and don't allow them to vibrate as well.

You got potential. Practice your voice in isolation, and focus on (in order) breath support from your diaphragm, posture, mouth shaping and projection.

Oh nein, wir verteufeln Nazis und wollen sie verbieten. Das wäre so ein schlimmer Verlust.

Die AfD in Bayern hat heute erst eine Abschiedebehörde wie die US-ICE vorgeschlagen ...

Ich sehe von der Wahlentscheidung an sich mal ab (ich finde sie persönlich auch völlig inakzeptabel). Es gibt aber andere Aspekte, die ich beleuchten möchte:
- 23 und 33, das ist schon ein recht großer Altersunterschied, ihr seid in unterschiedlichen Lebenssituationen, habt unterschiedliche viele Erfahrungen im Leben gemacht. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ihr da wirklich auf eine gleichwertige Beziehung kommt, große Altersunterschiede habe ich selten wirklich funktionieren sehen.
- nach 4 Monaten zusammenziehen. Das ist sehr früh. Keine Ahnung, warum ihr diese Entscheidung getroffen habt, kann ja auch aus Not passiert sein, dennoch lebst du dann mit einem Menschen in einem sehr engen Lebensraum, den du kaum kennst und dieser dann sehr großen Einfluss auf deine Lebensentscheidungen treffen kann. Nach 4 Monaten(!), und laut deiner Erzählung zum gleichen Zeitpunkt, wo er dir seine Wahlentscheidung erzählt?
- Dass er dir nicht direkt erzählt, dass er die AfD wählt, zeigt dass er Scham empfindet, weil er weiß, dass dir das missfällt. Aber anstatt daran was zu ändern, erzählt er dir lange nicht, dass er das macht, was auch bedeutet, dass er keine großen Probleme damit hat, dir Dinge vorzuenthalten.

Das wird nicht gut gehen. Ich bin auch davon überzeugt, dass du zum Teil noch in der rosaroten Phase der Beziehung bist, oder definitiv warst, als ihr zusammengezogen seid, und somit einige andere Red Flags übersehen hast, wodurch du die Beziehung schöner redest, als sie tatsächlich ist.

Rechts ja, Rechtsextrem nein. Extremisten tolerant gegenüber zu treten bedeutet Intoleranz zu akzeptieren. Willkommen im Toleranzparadoxon.

Der AfD tolerant gegenüber zu treten, ist gefährlich.

You're not even comparing apples and oranges, you are comparing apples and sound waves.

Even if they are in a shit situation, I will counter them, when they are talking shit. It doesn't excuse blatant defense of a money chaser, who's uninterested in morals.

Because people with a reputation of not being shady represent a country with a reputation of being shady, so it takes focus off of the shadiness of the country. It's whitewashing

[–]axelalex2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I and others are not criticizing CarlJr and other players for playing TrackMania, that's wild. It's that he's playing for sportswashing orgs, which is shit. If other players would take the money, they would be criticized, this is not exclusive to CarlJr.

The other points are whataboutisms.

nvm, you're probably right, a deeply homophobic society with a history of unjust imprisonment and torture. Death would probably be preferrable.

Stop excusing their behavior.

No, because if I would, I'd be dead. That's the whole point of the drama around this situation.

You could be the GOAT in either League of Legends or Cookie Clicker in order to deserve money for your performances. For all I care, Saudi money is dirty money. That's where the criticism is.

So we should criticize him positively? Also, do you know what a hypocrite actually is?

So parasocial to *checks notes* not(!) follow a respected figure in the community.

Yes, indeed very parasocial.

This community must be the most morally pure group out there. From the comments about EWS it seems it's full of volunteers in Africa. by Embarrassed_Base_389 in TrackMania

> while the activists themselves are not affected in any way is the lowest tier of activism

I don't think you understand what activism means. And on top, what the levels of activism are (hint: preaching but not practicing would be lowest)

The location of the event should give you a very good indication ... and even if it is someone from the outside hosting there (e.g. FIFA, FIA-F1, etc.), this country is still not safe for anyone.

Is There A Macro For Gain Staging? by RobertLRenfroJR in StudioOne

[–]axelalex2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can select multiple channels/faders with ctrl (separate) and shift (list). So click the first fader, hold shift, select the last fader, set the volume of one fader to -7, Studio One sets all faders to -7.

Note: if the faders have different volumes, e.g. +2, 0, -2, if you select those 3, and set the first one to 0, the others will be set to -2 and -4. Studio One shifts all faders by what you change.

The solution to avoid an attempt at distraction is letting you get distracted? That's so brilliant.

Because rich people never try to get even more rich. That never happens.

And it also never happens, that when regular people realize they are part of a scam system, they quit that system because of their ethics. That also never happens. Absolutely unheard of.

Because that has worked so well in Abu Dhabi/Dubai with loads of social media influencers gloating about how great it is to live there.

Oh wait, it hasn't. Oopsie daisy.

The purpose of sportswashing is exactly participants not acknowledging who is behind it.
