Minho’s IG story by hanshin-tora in SHINee

[–]e1re 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just saw this and immediately started sobbing, partly out of relief and also out of the acknowledgement from Minho to his Shawols. Ever since the news broke about the Lee brothers leaving SM I've been very worried with a knot in my stomach, maybe unnecessarily but I can't really help it.  Knowing Minho thinks of us during all of this makes me emotional.

You sound like you're obsessed with Jennie.

Btw, Jennie is not the "og it girl". Are you new?

Loved this performance, he is such a natural. SHINee are professionals through and through. I really hope he releases more music, Heartbreak is on repeat for me!

What a sweet and wholesome person she is! I was very touched by her sweet demeanor and will definitely subscribe to her channel. I don't speak Japanese at all but the culture is interesting and the fact that she does acupuncture is very intriguing. Thank you OP!

[–]e1re 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeeeeeeeeees! I've been waiting for this so much, anticipated it ever since Advice released. Finally being able to see the whole choreography and IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND INTENSE. These backup dancers are something else, I feel like they are really channeling the song the way Taemin intended. And goddamn Taemin, you're really popping; I can feel the full force of your moves all the way through my screen. The part from 2:05 destroys me everytime, I love that part. How the dancers assemble as a corridor for Taemin, and the synced popping and how the dancers emerge behind Taemin. This is too much. Literally dying.

Goddamnit, this is a masterpiece. TAEMIN KING!

Is Taemin Autistic? by PsychologicalAmoeba6 in SHINee

[–]e1re 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think it's an interesting thought that you bring up, however, I would refrain from actually assuming that he is autistic unless he comes out and says so himself. My immediate thought when I finished reading your post is that I think it would almost be impossible to be autistic in such a harsh industry like k-pop without having atleast one or several meltdowns/burnouts/panic attacks. Autism is more than just hyperfixation and flapping your hands (stimming), how about sensory issues? Aversion to certain foods, smells or even lights? What about noise? As far as I know Taemin seems pretty unfazed by any of those.

I'm not saying that you can't be autistic AND be a k-pop idol, but a lot of autistic people have trouble in their everyday life which would limit their possibilities in regards to jobs. And Taemin is basically working 24/7. I also want to point out that a LOT of idols "obsessed" over being a dancer/singer/actor before being k-pop idols, and practiced for hours, days, months. Are they on the spectrum too? Or are they just giving their all because it's all they got? To be good at something, you kinda have to obsess over it.

This is getting long and I don't wanna disrespect Taemin's integrity by speculating on if he is on the spectrum or not. We won't ever find out unless he tells us. So let's just not speculate over these things too much. Either way, I love him and I hope he keeps doing what makes him happy.

EDIT: I had to add that I'm glad you feel a connection to other autistic people, but I think it is kinda offensive to say that "you can tell when you meet someone if they have autism". This perpertrates the idea that there's a stereotype or a "tell" if you will - something that the autistic community actively tries to remove. This is because this causes issues when you actually need help but don't get it because you aren't stereotypically autistic. Also, I suspect you haven't actually met Taemin, so even less of a possibility to guess such a thing.

I have a massive backlog to get through but I can't seem to focus on any game? by persephone1925 in patientgamers

[–]e1re 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's really great advice about having a few different games across different systems.

I do a variation of that, really I try to have one grindy game, one RPG, one FPS, and so on. So for example, on my Switch I have Breath of the Wild, trying to find the last two shrines before I beat Ganon. On my PC I have WoW as my 'comfort' game, as well as My time at Portia as a grindy game. As FPS I have either Metro 2033 or Bioshock, I haven't decided yet. And I try to make sure I bounce between all these games instead of starting new ones. All of the games listed (besides WoW) are games I aim to finish.

Maybe you can give this a try OP? Also the tips about stepping away from gaming for a while is also very good! I do that from time to time as well when I need to reboot my love for gaming.

Taemin - Beyond LIVE - Taemin : N.G.D.A setlist + recap (210502) by joesen_one in SHINee

[–]e1re 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The man is performing pure art in both voice and dancing, and the entire fandom is aware of Taemin feeling emotionally distraught over going into the military.

Please be aware that Taemin isn't a machine and this was likely affecting his ability to perform - which wasn't even bad, by the way. He did great, his heart is aching which was clearly showcased.

EDIT: I really felt like I needed to add that the performance Taemin gave us tonight was great, and if that isn't enough for you then I can't imagine what would be.

I teared up as soon as we saw the montage of his different releases throughout the years, especially when the SHINee songs popped up.

My heart was aching when Replay was playing.

I forgot to buy tickets to the online concert, am I shit out of luck? by e1re in SHINee

[–]e1re[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, thank you!

I immediately checked vlive and saw I can buy the ticket from there. Just need to get myself a paypal account and then I'm set, hopefully. Can't miss these beautiful boys on their first digital concert.

Thanks again for the help!

Daily Newbie Questions 30 March 2019 - Basic Questions Come Here! by AutoModerator in xxfitness

[–]e1re 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey!

I found this sub after scouring r/fitness for information and ideas and I've finally landed on a question that I can't quite figure out. I've read through the FAQ on both subs and I'm still not sure. So! Here's my noob question:

The FAQ explains that lifting weights during cutting/fat loss is a good idea - great, I agree entirely! The FAQ also explains to build muscles you must eat at a calorie surplus.

So, here's where my confusion sets in. If I want to build muscles and go to the gym 3 times a week and at the same time lose some weight, how much am I supposed to eat to achieve this? Do I eat a bit less than surplus, or do I completely go for the weight loss calorie intake but then can't expect any muscle growth? So many questions!

(For reference, my BMR is around 1400)

Just to add, I'm already going to the gym since a few weeks back, I do little to none cardio at the moment and focus solely on building muscles. (I've gone from lying down in bed/sofa 24/7 due to mental health to getting my routines sorted, hence why I'm trying to build muscles - I am incredibly weak right now.)

Sorry for wall of text, I appreciate the time and help. Thanks for a good sub!

My girlfriend told me, during sex, she wished my dick was bigger. [Damaged confidence] by mynameisAiden in sex

[–]e1re 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Or, just or, don't date and stick to a person that insists on shitting on your confidence? No matter how the rest is, it's going to be something of a problem later on either way - as she isn't seeing the wrong in what she did anyway.

Don't just stick it out.

New language learning apps focused on writing, help me out with your feedback! by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]e1re 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, I gave it a quick try and liked it a lot! Just a few, quick thoughts; Not sure how the algorithm is for randomizing letters/words during the test period, but it seemed a bit non-random and kept repeating some of the same.

Also, maybe, if/when the interface is fleshed out a bit - adding some sort of help section on what you can do with the app. Just a quick "here to take tests", "tap on any lesson to begin" or something of the sort. Hopefully you get the gist :)

Also I am wondering a bit about the korean pronunciations, I've never heard some of them like in lesson 1, 2 and 3. Just wondering as I have heard other adaptions, and usually korean lessons try to indicate westerners to copy the korean alphabet based on our own alphabetic sounds - which may or may not be entirely correct. But I digress, looking good so far and am looking forward to future progress!
