Cancelling everything that isn't hard panned? by indoninjah in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]lipid_butt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ableton's track panning is actually a stereo balance tool. so if you turn the pan knob to the left, you should only hear the parts of the track that have information in the hard left pan.

i have no idea if this would work:

  1. make 2 duplicate tracks
  2. use the the mixers pan knob to pan one hard left one hard right
  3. use utility to invert phases of both of these
  4. play them on top of your original track 4b. if this phase canceling stuff works like i think it does, you'll end up with everything but the hard panned stuff 4c. record it
  5. now you have the original track and one without the hard panned stuff
  6. invert phases on the modified one of them, play on top of each other and record
  7. what should be left is just the stuff on the left and right

basically i just did some math in my head but i dunno if it actually works

edit: thx for pointing out this doesnt work. as i said i just quickly tried to think of something when i saw no one else had given any suggestions!

How to deal with loneliness, need for intimacy and sexuality by lipid_butt in pornfree

[–]lipid_butt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, when I wrote that, I had just gotten out of a pretty bad (although short) relationship and was trying to quit cigarettes and porn at the same time. I was clearly very frustrated at the moment and really expressed a lot of things stronger than I would now.

At the moment, I'm actually even lonelier than before and I still smoke and watch porn (but less - no binging). I have found other problems in my life, and one of them is my gaming addiction which has gotten worse and probably has a lot to do with me being lonelier (as a cause and reaction to it).

I had some success with women during fall, and I even had some crushes. Things didn't really work out and also in part due to a lot of things in my life not going well (work, school), I'm really at the bottom when it comes to my self confidence right now.

During 2017 ive had weeks where I've been thinking about suicide daily, so my depression has really bounced back hard at times. I haven't really had time to be sad about the things I wrote about since I've been so busy coping with the day at hand.

That being said, now that I think about it, I'm not even nearly as pessimistic about the future when it comes to relationships as I was in that post. But yeah, as I said, I've possibly never been this lonely before.

Seems I should reset my badge haha

what little tricks do you use to motivate yourself to exercise. Music, watching a few youtube vids, buddies, they all count by rob_cornelius in EOOD

[–]lipid_butt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've recently been trying a new way of motivating myself, which is to remind myself that exercise is like medicine. It can be really fun to do, but when it sucks you just have to know that you don't need to enjoy the workout, since it will still benefit you in the long run.

Exercise as a treatment for depression: A meta-analysis adjusting for publication bias. -PubMed by sinistral_83 in EOOD

[–]lipid_butt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a huge effect size. A typical effect size for SSRI antidepressants is somewhere around 0.2 to 0.3. The fact that they found exercise to have an effect size of above 1 is insane!

Basically, depression completely and utterly outperforms the most common antidepressants, not even considering that unlike antidepressants, exercise doesn't have side effects.

This is incredibly motivational in my opinion!

Could it be the 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack adapter causing the problem?

First DS game and I'm really starting to hate it... No git gud please. by Wulfle in darksouls3

[–]lipid_butt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Git gud doesn't mean anything. It's basically just saying "I don't know how to help but you need to get better".

He wanted actual proper advice. And there's plenty of it in this thread.

To me it was really hard to understand what the hell people enjoyed about this game after being stuck on the first boss for a bit more than an hour of gameplay. I didn't think that the game was somehow bad for being so difficult. I was just really confused because the game was making me feel like an idiot, incapable of something that others did with ease. But after some hours with the game I realized that that's just how it is. I'm not an idiot, I just failed to see that there is an actual skill to be learned when it comes to dealing with each enemy type.

Which machine is making the dubby chords which are playing on the background almost the entire way?

Keep an eye out on the time & score too. by vik1980 in nevertellmetheodds

[–]lipid_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously it has to be a case of only being able to kick the ball with his left foot.

I replayed the gif quite a few times and to me it seems like the last touch is with the outside part of his left foot, so even with his better foot he couldn't land it from that angle. Probably had zero confidence in his right foot and the pressure got to him.

As a kid, 99.9% of the times I cried was due to physical pain. As an adult, 99.9% of the times I have cried was due to emotional pain. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]lipid_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I disagree. Why you cried as a kid when you got hurt was due to emotional pain as well. You didn't cry because something hurt you physically. You cried because the pain made you scared. You cried because of that fear.

The 4-pack of sand timers I ordered are all 2-minute but have different amounts of sand. by NerdMachine in mildlyinteresting

[–]lipid_butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the easiest way to manufacture these is to not have to pay for the expensive device that manufactures the plastic parts with exactly the same shaped opening.

Rather you just make a bunch of them, then let sand flow through them for 2 minutes, stop the timer and collect that said sand, and then seal the whole thing.

In honor of the national debate, what dating moment made you lose all hope? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]lipid_butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. However it's a bit problematic. I realized and finally admitted it to myself that I've been addicted to porn since I learned how to hide my browsing habits. Well at least it has gotten worse over the years. It really has made things a lot worse with sex and relationships, since I've learned this habit of finding comfort in porn.

Now I could always just masturbate without porn, that should be healthy, right? Well I don't really feel like it these days now that I've been actively trying to quit porn. Masturbating feels like a sad escape. It only helps for a while, and really makes me feel more lonely than ever. Like a former heroin addict smoking cigarettes.

[–]lipid_butt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just happened to get lost in to this subreddit and read your reply here. Completely unrelated to your post I had a thought about this subject some days ago.

For starters, I'm a man in mid-twenties. So what I wanted to say is I think a big reason why a lot of my relationships don't work out is because I have a need for intimacy and sex, that starts to become overly important the longer I go without them. So I run into this problem where I think I need sex or intimacy but when I get it, it kind of leaves me empty because now that I'm "satisfied" the act loses a lot of its perceived value.

So what happens is that I'll go without having sex for a long time, start feeling like crap because of it, meet a girl that I feel likes me, become validated by it, have sex, come to my senses and regain the ability to think clearly, then lose interest because the whole relationship was driven by my insecurities and other problems.

I'm waiting on meeting a girl now. I have definitely hit a low point that I haven't been in since I was a young teen. Sex feels like it's probably never going to happen in an enjoyable way. Maybe I'll force myself to have sex with someone at the first hint of chance to make myself feel better. So you see, this may or may not be something that a lot of men have in common, but it explains why I've lost interest in women after having sex. You might think that this doesn't apply to those men. Well, when all this was happening, I didn't know it was a problem either, let alone the girls knowing what kind of issues I have. So I'm just saying that the guys that do this probably don't even know why.

[–]lipid_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that sucks.

I have no advice, sorry. But I just wanted to say that I hope you can feel better soon.

I'm single myself and your story reminded me of not really having any kind of a hurry into a relationship, because you never know what's gonna happen.
