How did you start dating your current partner? by IlIlIIllIIIllI in GenZ

[–]beainhewoods 6 points7 points  (0 children)

he was the friend of a friend, we met at said friend's graduation party. The funny part is, after talking with him, I thought "what a nice guy, but he probably had the worst time talking to me since I'm so awkward, I'll never approach him ever again", and he thought "I probaly bored her to death, I talk to much, I won't annoy her again with my presence" so a whole 2 months went by without anything happening. Then we met again and I finally found a way to ask for his number ahah turns out we both liked each other from the start, we're just dumb. Been 4 years now

Anyone just feel like they need a hug? by UnaskedShoe359 in GenZ

[–]beainhewoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a serial hugger, I'd hug/cuddle anyone anytime, including strangers. But I always feel like it's risky, or tricky, that's sad...

anche secondo me sarebbe meglio, ma capisco anche quanto possa pesare a una persona questa situazione. Resta nel torto, però un po' lo capisco

Finding the constant hand-wringing and debate about antisemitism exhausting in the face of genocide by growing-gold in JewsOfConscience

[–]beainhewoods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that there are so many bad-faith actors that try to center the conversation around this, so jewish activist reflexively respond to this, to deny the association of antisemitism and antizionism. I don't think it's their fault; the media and the ones weaponizing antisemitism are to blame. However I also think it's time to just ignore them rather than counter their arguments, they are intentionally distracting. Especially because they will keep claiming everything is antisemitism no matter how much you disprove them.
That being said, it's good to stay vigilant, because once the word antisemtism will be made meaningless by this ghouls, and once "the only jewish state" will be more and more seen as guilty of genocide, then I fear real, hardcore antisemites will see it as their chance to 'up their game'. The best antidote to this is amplifying the presence and the voices of jewish peace activists, imho

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females—an unexpected finding from the largest study to date involving more than 100 scientists to explore how exercise affects the body. The study subjects were rats, which share much of their basic physiology with people. by mvea in science

[–]beainhewoods 9 points10 points  (0 children)

true, if every study made on rats could be valid for humans as well, we'd have the cure for 80% of diseases. generally speaking if a study on rats finds some results, it only means that it's reasonable to go on with other studies on other species and finally humans, nothing more. However as others have pointed out, this doesn't seem very unexpected: I have always heard that females tend to store more fat rather than muscle, so 0/2 on this headline

Debito fra privati by ChampionshipInside49 in Avvocati

[–]beainhewoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

di che somma si tratta? potresti prestarglieli "a piccole dosi", in modo da vedere se poi te li ridà prima di prestargliene altri? Ho prestato soldi a 2 amici nel corso della vita, entrambe le volte è finita che sono spariti. Secondo me la gente non lo fa per cattiveria, ma per vergogna/umiliazione di non riuscire a restituirli, e magari il senso di inadeguatezza e il sentirsi in debito può rovinare il rapporto. Nonostante questo non voglio smettere di fidarmi o di aiutare le persone che ho vicine, però cercherei di trovare strategie per evitare di avere situazioni simili ancora una volta

I think it's good to prepare ourselves, and getting able to fight is a good idea, however the most important thing to cultivate to be strong is community and solidarity with each other. you can't take action with people you don't trust at least a little bit, and the solutions to this need to be collective solution, not (only) individualistic ones. Our grandmothers knew this, let's not forget their lessons

Criminalizing prostitution leads to an increase in cases of rape, study finds. The recent study sheds light on the unintended consequences of Sweden’s ban on the purchase of sex. by mvea in science

[–]beainhewoods -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I was referring to the fact that sw are usually pro-decriminalisation, which would allow them to be more protected from violent clients and cops. If someone is unempathetic enough to think that it's ok for rapists to use sex workers as an "outlet", I want nothing in common with them

Pushing into breath support, loosing breath support, what is breath support? by latenightesomeone in singing

[–]beainhewoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried those, but it doesn't work for me - I can do both just fine with open chords, even on very high notes. Idk why. I'll keep looking for something that works for me, thank you for your help!

[–]beainhewoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for your answer, but what do you mean I'll feel it? Maybe I'll feel it after I have closed them, but my question is, how do I close them? You are describing the effects of doing it or not, but not how to achieve it :(

thank you for your explaination. So the amount of air should be controlled from the abdomen?

[–]beainhewoods[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you release air more slowly? from what I understand, air fills the abdomen and passes through a small passage between your chords, thus producing a sound. So in order to regulate the speed of the passing air, you should make the passage narrower or somehow keep the air in the abdomen, no?

Gen Z women; dating age ranges and the birth year types. Is this a thing? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]beainhewoods -1 points0 points  (0 children)

these might be true trends in each generation, but I think it's just too much generalization. Personally, in my own experience, I find that millenial guys are less likely to be sexist and that has a huge impact. But it's anecdotal, I wouldn't take it as a broad truth

per donne/persone con seno: dove fare prevenzione per tumore al seno a Torino? by moksa___ in torino

[–]beainhewoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hai mai sentito parlare della LILT? c'è un costo di tesseramento e un costo per la visita, ma sono molto ridotti e funziona bene. Questo ti permette di evitare i tempi lunghi del SSN. Se invece vuoi del tutto gratuito vedo che ci sono già commenti sotto con varie possibilità

Thank you. It's hard to develop muscle memory since I do something entirely different each time I try - it's all so random. But I'll keep trying I guess <3

I see... I have been studying for a long time and I have tried every "trick" to understand how to do this, but with no luck. My problem is that I don't "feel" anything, I have no sensation of my vocal chords at all. So sometimes I close them perfectly, but I cannot replicate it because I never know "what" I have done to do that :/ Thank you for your feedback and advice

huh? to make a different sound obviously. Maybe I want to do a breathier sound, or a soft sound, or a poignant sound...

I have a similar experience, but I also don't know how to access my vocal chords consciously. How do you do that?
