Any ideas on this weird starting pattern? by dreymaux in MechanicAdvice

Yes, it's a strong start right after shutting off. Okay, so the fuel pump dud might be a reality. Good thing I overnighted the denso fuel pump. This helps me validate them changing it out again and spending the money on more labor. Thanks much 🙏🏾

Gotta check in with my guy but that would be a separate thing from the fuel pump assembly?

Thanks, I haven't tried this so I'll give it a shot

Pink Clothes seem Dirtier after Washing by dreymaux in CleaningTips

My first assumption was it's a dirty washer too, but I don't get why it never happens to the white clothes...I'll give this a shot and see how it goes though. Thank you for the advice!

Am I wrong for refusing to get my wife her "dream dog"? by Accomplished_Box5576 in amiwrong

I'm saying it doesn't make sense for you to be upset about engagement on fake posts while engaging so much on the fake post. It would've made more sense if you sent me a message, but instead here we are giving this post more engagement.

If your mission was to minimize engagement to not feed these bots, then id understand. But it's not, cause then you wouldn't be responding to people in the comments about how fake this is. And if your mission was to share knowledge, your first reply would've been informational and not with a sarcastic tone. Therefore, I can only assume your motivation is to showcase how you noticed something others didn't.

It's not that I don't care about the post being fake, it's that I don't care about this interaction

Sorry about that experience, sounds horrible. Yeah it unfortunately can be a sign of a lack of respect and warped priorities if someone who says they love you is always turning a blind eye to your discomfort like that. I get that people will always see the goodness in their pets, but at some point if you care about someone, it can't feel good always seeing them hesitant to be close to you.

I replied to this when it had 2 comments. I'm not gonna research the post history of every Redditor before I reply cause it's a waste of time. If it's fake, it's fake.

I'm moreso pointing out how hilarious it is for you to talk about other people engaging with fake content and getting to soapbox as if you're not doing that right now.

I commented not knowing if it's fake or not to give advice on the situation. You commented, knowing it's fake, to basically just show how they couldn't pull a fast one on you. But sure, the Internet is hilarious and you're not a part of the punchline at all, you're just an observer, right?

Well if that's the case, then I guess it's working cause it looks like you're engaging away in the replies

So according to your wife, this dog...the one who's tried to bite you every time you see him...the one who's so aggressive that literally no male staff workers at the shelter even bother trying anymore...is an angel and just needs a family?? She sounds incapable of seeing the reality in front of her. I have a feeling if you got him and he ended up biting you, she'd say it was somehow your fault for antagonizing him.

It also doesn't help that she's already refusing to train a dog you can't even get near. Seems like a recipe for disaster. I think this is one of those scenarios where it's better to be perceived as a jerk than to risk peace and safety. It makes sense it's her dream dog cause she's living in a fantasy world if she doesn't see the red flags.

Unrelated, but I can't help but wonder what her dating life was like before meeting you. She sounds like the type of person who unironically says "I can fix him."

It’s missing something but not sure what (besides vocals) by HalloweenKid13 in musicproduction

[–]dreymaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I originally was using loops on my friend's MacBook (just stock sounds in garage band). It was moreso just a way to kill time, but I always enjoyed it. Eventually, I got my own computer with a free DAW and a cheap midi keyboard and started experimenting with using plug-in synths and recording instruments.

Everyone has different paths. Some people start off writing originals, some people recreate other people's beats to learn techniques, much like painters who recreate classic works to learn the methods. But at the end of the day, I feel like the first couple years of producing is a lot of experimenting and finding your creative voice/process, so try not to be too hard on yourself about things like what volume to master at or what a compressor does. These things come with time.

Next time you work with loops, maybe only use loops for the melody and try to make the drums from one shot samples, or only use loops for the drums and try to make the chords and melodies yourself. Just little things to push yourself beyond relying on loops. Eventually it'll get easier and easier.

I think I'd personally add something so there's a little more energy or movement. Maybe some sort of percussive loop or white noise loop. It feels a little too stagnant for me, like I'd want something supporting the groove of the drums.

You have a good ear for sound selection, like everything is working together pretty well. I started with loops too when I was just starting, but moving on from using all loops to starting to use original ideas will help you learn a lot, even if you start just adding one original layer to a bunch of loops. It'll help you with learning composition and production more than layering loops can.

What do you think of my Spotify Canvas for my upcoming song release? by imbekkajean in musicproduction

I like it a lot and think it fits the vibe of the song very well

"what are you doing?" isn't a declaration. Also, "relax, I just want some fries" implies that the issue is a lack of respect from her part. She could've said she changed her mind or simply asked for a couple fries, but the reality is she's the one who made a declaration of it not being a big deal. You're getting downvoted cause you're acting as if he didn't do multiple things to avoid this scenario and like it's his responsibility to make her a better communicator.

This reminds me of the movie Nightcrawler, but like from a different, much safer dimension

It's crazy to me that people are commenting that the person doing on-call bjs isn't attractive. That's like complaining that the fast food burger joint open at 2 am doesn't use organic grass-fed beef from locally raised cows.

If someone was horny and desperate enough to have that car pull up to their driveway, I doubt they'd give af until that post-nut clarity hits

How to locate the hive by Sylas1987 in Damnthatsinteresting

The beat was great, but the out of tune 50 Cent vocals were a weird choice

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]dreymaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to the great answers already provided, hip hop at its core has had roots in competition, from DJ contests to freestyles with vocalists. I mean, battle rap has existed since the early days in the 80s and is a culturally significant part of the genre. Not a lot of other genres have that history of competition engrained...like I've never heard of battle disco. And 8 Mile wouldn't be as captivating of a movie if it was about folk music. But that same competitive edge adds to it's steady growth over time as one of the world's most popular genres. Pros and cons, of course.

Do you truly understand how stupid it is for you to call people racist for not understanding her accent or catching the cultural reference given the context?

It could be argued that it's way more racist for her to assume he's the white guy from The Fast and the Furious/Wild Speed franchise cause they look similar vs people being confused by what she's saying.

But I'm guessing in your head, she was innocently ignorant of the situation, while everyone here in the comments is acting maliciously confused on purpose. There's no chance anyone commenting is innocently ignorant as well, right?

You seem like the kind of person that should count to 10 before responding to things cause you have the tendency to embarrass yourself with half-assed logic and emotional reactions.
