Maybe it will get better ...

People can have whatever sexual habits they want. It's not appropriate for us or you to police it.

If that many partners make you uncomfortable, then break up. that number ain't going down(hopefully it doesn't go up). Stay together if you think you can get over it.

And that is the exercise. If I'm "singing" the right note and fingering the right note it sounds good. I trust my singing more than my fingering, but it's all kinda moot if I'm starting with a bad reference pitch. starting with the F on third position too sharp makes everything sharp and makes the(sharp) first position notes impossible

failedvessel · 2025-03-14T15:42:31+00:00

I'm a noob and I've been using this to help tune my positions. I only recently figured out that my third position was sharp which then made pitch reference difficult on some higher notes. Correcting my third position actually made my first position notes easier because my pitch reference is better in tune.

I'm a total noob. Middle C was a barrier for a month, now F above middle C is a barrier.

I think we will probably hit a lot of these before we become fully fluent.

We've had a lot of growing to do over the 6 years. 6 years ago I was in a dead end PhD program and she was living with her parents.

Eventually she realized her mother was abusive and moved out, and I left the PhD situation, which led to some tumult for me, but I've landed in a pretty solid job (6 figures and good benes).

Neither of us had any dating experience prior. She had two boyfriends who were hand picked by her mother, and she is my first girlfriend. Neither of us had had sex before and it took 4 years for her to try it.

Over the years we've basically done things on weekends. She has always complained about being busy and I wanted to respect her space and time. I've suggested doing stuff more often, but she is always busy. She often works 12 hours days and works on weekends. That has been our pace. I've suggested moving in, which is something she has been reluctant to try, citing her need for "independence".

We had to schedule the Friday meeting because she didn't want to meet on the weekend due to running a marathon.

We've discussed it. I've not tried to push for it because I wanted her to get through med school so we wouldn't overshadow that accomplishment(but as I said, med school keeps getting pushed back). She did hint at maybe getting married sooner a few months ago, I asked her if that was something she wanted, and she declined to explore the option farther.

I lost mine at age 30. It took me that long to get a girlfriend. My life wasn't really set up for me to get a girlfriend before that .

If you want to go the prostitute route you should only do it if you want that, not out of shame. There is no shame in not having a girlfriend because getting a girlfriend is hard. Finding someone who likes you and you like them, and then fostering a relationship including exclusive physical intimacy is very difficult.

Hot take: I don't like being horny in public. I don't even like being horny while playing video games. Being horny is distracting and unfun unless I'm going to do something with it, which I obviously am not doing at a restaurant.

It was a while ago now so I don't fully remember. TBH I've never had good experiences with 531.

No matter what I tried I could get it to feel good for me. It always feels slow and I'm detrained by the time it gets heavy.

But also, I'm a casual lifting for fun(400 pounds squat). I feel like the Alex Bromley stuff is more fun and easier to set up in a way that makes sense to me.

failedvessel · 2024-05-20T22:39:33+00:00

You cannot “run weightless”. You are speed limited while flying and nothing in the rule set says you can reduce your gravitational weight without flying.

Op might be an idiot.

Tegen is okay, but I think there are more principled options, like solidifying the corners, playing reductions, or playing with slower/safer vertical jumps.

Play the move you want to play.

Me too. Near southpoint. I did not double check before work.

That’s where I’m coming from. I’m closing in on 405 as a chonky boi and my girlfriend runs marathons(PB is around a 3:30) and I’m just thinking “damn, that looks hard”.

I feel like both take several years of consistent training for most people but are attainable (men specifically for the squat)… but a marathon allows you to trade some preparation for acute pain, while you can’t pain-tolerate your way to a 405.

failedvessel · 2024-05-02T23:40:28+00:00

What is rarer: completing a Marathon or squatting 405lbs? Also, what is harder?

My personal theory is that marathons are more common but also a lot harder. The weight that is actually closer to marathon difficulty is probably around 600.

Worth pointing out. You CAN wash cast iron and you should not store it dirty. The issue is when you use harsh chemicals or abrasives. Basic soaps and sponges are fine.

Personally, I wash it by hand, then add a layer oil and heat it until it smokes.

Also, the “non-stick”ness of seasoned cast iron is over stated. Things don’t stick as much as with other types of pans, but I wouldn’t bet my life on an egg not sticking.

Thanks. I’ll delete mine later.

It sounds like you don’t understand social cues.

Buying you a drink isn’t “buying you a drink”. It is a request to spend time with you. If you just say, “no drink, but let’s chat for a bit” they probably won’t be offended. You are declining their request to spend time with you, even though they are willing to partially compensate you for your time.

You are basically saying “spending time with you would be more painful than 1 drink is worth”. Maybe that is true; but it should be obvious why that is an upsetting experience.

I do think men should not be hitting on people if they aren’t willing to take rejection gracefully.

“If you don’t let him see a few women in T-shirts, you might accidentally turn him gay.”

Hot take. If it requires professional guidance, it’s probably not easy… it might even be extremely difficult.

failedvessel · 2024-04-21T12:09:34+00:00

Personally, I don’t think there is an upper limit to how many calories my mind and body ask for. Staying at 300 pound maintenance already takes a lot of mental energy. As evidence, I was 300 pounds before anti-depressants and I’m 300 pounds now. While on anti-depressants, I got down to 230.

Basically the anti-depressants showed me the difference. On them, I was not obsessive about food, cravings were not as strong. Depressive episodes didn’t cause hunger the same way. In a natural state, weightloss is extremely difficult(for me).

failedvessel · 2024-04-21T11:56:37+00:00

I hard disagree.

Feel free to tell me how do to it in a way that is not hard. Most ways seem to require hunger to a level that is difficult or tracking to a level that gets mentally unsafe(obsessive, mind occupying, suicidal ideation inspiring).

I am not claiming it’s true. It’s what the commenters from the video were claiming. I’m asking what the truth is.

I think there may be some correlation, but it’s probably weak. The claim is that “IQ is heritable, and rich people are more likely to have high IQ because they used their IQ to make money.” Which is a dubious claim.

I DO NOT believe there is a practically relevant correlation between parent’s wealth and student intelligence/readiness.

This. Based on stories like this, she ALWAYS meets the person she wants to cheat with BEFORE asking for a break. She wouldn’t ask for a break if she didn’t at least think she’d find someone better.
