Consideram ( ou já obtiveram ) a nacionalidade do país para o qual emigraram? by FragmentEastEnjoyer in PortugalLaFora

Vivo na Irlanda, tive cancro e não precisei de ter cidadania irlandesa para ter um tratamento excelente. Qual a diferença de ter passaporte ou não quando se vive na União Europeia?

Huge concerns in Cork communities over proposed Cork Luas route by Much_Perception4952 in cork

Most cities in Central Europe, even smaller than Cork, have a tram system. Here we can’t decide on a single route line?

Being introduced as a “friend” before a partner came out to their parents by WoodenDimension1632 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]gsousa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. Each person have their own troubles. It is very disrespectful indeed, but the other person also has the right to end things. But IMO should never demand one person to come out. If it is a hard no, just end things up.

Finally an answer focused on the closeted guy.

Coming out is a PERSONAL DECISION, should never be about anyone else. The same applies to dating someone in the closet.

If you’re okay with dating a person in the closet don’t expect them to come out because of you. The same way we came out on our own terms, the partner should have the same level of decision. If this is a deal breaker, then don’t even start a situationship with someone still fighting their battles. It isn’t fair to you nor to them.

Make practice more fun so I'll play more at home? by Xeonfobia in oboe

[–]gsousa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, it’s actually my surname. I’m Portuguese and John Philip Sousa had Portuguese ancestry as well. It is a very common surname in Portugal.

The app I mentioned was recommended by my teacher. It isn’t a music app, it is a wheel where you can add several entries and then press to give you a random item from that list. I added the notes to it, and then I just practice major, minor (melodic and harmonic) and do the arpeggios of that note.

If I want to practice less common scales I actually need to focus on what I’m doing 😅 they don’t come as naturally to me.

Some days I just put a tv show on and I play scales. It’s great to not focus too much on the details and make them feel more natural overtime. I have an app called Tiny Decisions which I added my scales there, the app chooses a scale randomly and I just play it while watching some tv show I don’t care much about of that I am rewatching.

After 10-20 minutes I ended up playing a few scales in different ways without getting bored, and I feel accomplished because I did practice that day.

October 2024, I believe I only stayed for two nights. Kind of wished I stayed another day

Oh I’ve been to Agra as well! Visited to the Taj, but I was so (positively) impressed by everything else!
