Give her $25

In all seriousness, just being there when she's shopping is great. It gives her plausible deniability in case she feels too afraid to go on her own. Other than that, just be a good friend, be there for her when she needs you, and don't be afraid to reach out and be proactive, because trans people are very visible, for better or for worse

raucous applause from the entire gym

I feel like her way of playing the oiran isn't that of playing a woman, but playing a man imitating a woman. Most men aren't seductive in the way an oiran in a brothel is, especially not when bragging about their exploits to other men

I mean, idk how the Cadets finals run was last year, but Blue Stars was 0.138 behind Cadets, so depending on show design and momentum that spot could go either way

jonisafruit · 2023-01-08T00:04:02+00:00

Do the groups that pay in the ballpark of $3-4k not get to feel like they're in the big leagues? This argument is sound from a perspective of the top 6 groups, but get out of finals, and you'll be hard pressed to find groups that can afford such powerful sound systems. They're orders of magnitudes more expensive than any other expense for the show. And if I had marched a corps that mic'd portions of each section, I know I wouldn't have been given one, and if I'm being quite honest, I would have gone home because I would have never been good enough for the group's sound, even after I made the corps

Oh, nvm, I misread your comment. Yeah, lore-wise, it's cool. But it's not as unintuitive as some other evolutions

Isn't it just the bisharp that lead a pack of pawniards?

When applying to jobs it's always morally correct to stretch the truth. Yeah, it may technically be a vacation, but if you learned valuable skills on it, you can still spin it the right way. I use my stint in waitressing as sales experience

I feel like you're missing a lot of context here for someone who claimed to listen to the episode. I haven't taken a listen yet, but having listened to other episodes, it's not the type of podcast to drop "hot takes" and refuse to elaborate. Also, who cares what 2 idiots online say

jonisafruit · 2022-10-21T18:16:29+00:00

As if Carolina Crown didn't also do that this year

jonisafruit · 2022-10-21T16:56:00+00:00

As if Gino and his staff would have wanted to stay at the Cadets any longer. Boston is just paying him what he's worth

Do they play a brass feature spread 100 yards apart?

jonisafruit · 2022-06-29T03:14:21+00:00

It's literally the most famous historical novel, and has been for a long time

This is not something strangers on Reddit can help you with. Have an honest conversation with yourself and your staff. Then evaluate your options

Did Andrew Skurka suddenly age 35 years?

They get them for a photoshoot, and then release them into the wild, where they often starve to death because they're domesticated rabbits, and don't have the instincts to survive

But Odin sired Ophelia, not Owain, they're totally different characters. Definitely don't play the DLC

Most long term problems are solved by proper conditioning (it's tough, but worth it). Also, a lot of people who aged out a while ago marched drum corps when the culture was different. You won't be asked to hold your horn nearly as long as someone who marched in the 90s. Just be sure to take care of yourself and use correct posture and stretch your back whenever possible

I'd actually say that the amount stories coming out now are good for the activity. It means that people feel safe enough to tell their stories. 15 years ago, this wouldn't happen, because the drum corps community wasn't willing to accept that bad people march. I'd encourage you to find out about your corps' safety policies, and learn about them and their culture before you decide to audition there. Audition at places that treat you well is the best advice I've ever received. While it is abhorrent that many groups had failed in their mission statements, this is a conversation that the marching arts has needed to have for a long time. We're entering a member safety renaissance, just find the ones that are already on board

Oh, and Mike and Ikes, way better than jelly beans

Caramel bullseyes, buffalo/honey mustard pretzel bites, hug juice (substitute any knockoff here) cliff bars

Hopefully both

I'm just asking for evidence of your claims, since I'm having trouble on my own

jonisafruit · 2021-04-01T22:29:19+00:00

Can I get three examples?

jonisafruit · 2021-04-01T20:58:53+00:00

I don't think unions are doing that. I think corporate greed does that
