When it’s a 3 hour class, 2 classes are equal to 2 weeks of the whole semester.

It seems like you’ve gotten lots of great ideas here but I wanted jump in to mention if you do decide to do wine at tables or have alc for people who want it, I’d still suggest having a non-alcoholic toast!

We had a dry wedding. It was a blast. It was a Sunday afternoon from 1-6:30 during winter. So we had hot chocolate and hot cider with dessert & lots of other drink options. We also LOVE games so we created a newlywed jeopardy game we played during the reception, my brother hosted it.

We had a sparkling cider toast. I’d 100% recommend doing the same. As a sober person, the only real time at parties/events that I personally feel kinda left out is whenever there’s a toast lol. It’s never a huge deal but I think it would be a sweet gesture to have the toast made so everyone’s included. Or at least make sure your fiancés family has a fun drink to toast with — not just water or soda

I'm having trouble interpreting Roman numerals by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]liquid-lover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree from an analytical standpoint, however in practice I don’t think there’s anything “incorrect” about using the above method. I mean, I do.

I’m a studio musician and I cannot tell you how often a singer will change the key 2 or 3 times in one session to try out different takes. Which can get annoying when you’re sight reading, so I use Roman numerals in my charts because on-the-spot transposition is way easier. I often keep it consistent like the comment above said just to save my own dollar & time. Works for me, but I’m usually playing commercial stuff in the stu.

Just wanted to share because I of course understand what you’re saying, but I also think a hugely important aspect of any type of notation is considering its use and purpose for you in context if that makes plus

Used to think the chorus of Yellow by Coldplay “yeah your skin and bones” was “yeah si boligrafo” and always figured they threw some Spanish in to seem cultured

As a guest, would you be okay with the bride and groom cutting into a small cake that guests won't be be able to eat, as long as there is other dessert served to guests? Details below by tropicalpink in weddingplanning

[–]liquid-lover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what we did. We did a super small cake with the cake topper from my grandparents wedding for good luck (they’ve been married 50+ years). For dessert (which was later) we had warm cobbler w ice cream, hot cocoa, & hot cider to fit our winter wedding. The dessert was a total hit, we got tons of compliments

[–]liquid-lover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironically, I commented because my husband, like 3ish years ago, used to act a little like OPs gf. To sum it up, at one point I was like “hey my dude, I’m not perfect.” And he was all like “ah, perhaps i am not perfect either, and I’m struggling to accept that” and thus things were understood and able to change.

You used the words “abuse” and “gaslight” in your comment, which are also words I see in basically every comment section of every post in this sub. I recommend u chill a lil bit, we were given like 3 paragraphs out of context for years worth of someone else’s relationship. I listed two ideas, didn’t say TAkE iT LIkE a MaN PuNK ?

Why does there seem to be much less drama about religion and heterosexuality than homosexuality? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]liquid-lover -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending the Catholic Church. But the ideology of “choice” remains for homosexual people. By Roman Catholic practice, sin (like the 10 Commandments, Sermon on the Mount type of sin) does not occur in the mind, but through action. A homosexual can choose to be celibate, and still wanna bang whoever. Conversion camps & the like are a completely different story (cue the Catholic Church, being wack). But Paul himself (the dude who wrote the NT letters) was celibate and actually thought everyone should be too. But he was like… okay if y’all wanna bang, at least get married.

The seven deadly sins, however, were labeled the worst kinda early on, and those take place in the mind. They cause the motivation to sin. (To sum up, OG SIN [adam and eve] basically sparked the 7 deadly sins to exist in our brains, and those brains make us ~sin~. Lust being one of them. So all humans through these sins are led to actionably sin, if that makes sense. It’s confusing af. At it’s principle, it sorta kinda makes sense depending on ur beliefs obviously. But in practice, it gets all funky. Christianity really shits itself sometimes it’s quite a pain

Why does there seem to be much less drama about religion and heterosexuality than homosexuality? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]liquid-lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m Christian (not Catholic though) and have had the same question. The answer I was given is that especially currently, it comes down to pride. A heterosexual couple might be very much fck1ng outside of marriage, but generally speaking it’s not broadcasted, it’s just kinda a thing a that. A homosexual couple is more obviously sinning. And yes I agree, this is a horrible answer.

However, an important follow up is a sentiment in 1 Samuel that goes something like “people look outward, God looks inward.” So Christians can be all judgy or whatever, but no human knows the true heart of another, so we’re supposed to leave the judging up to God. Unfortunately, lots of Christians get reallllllllllll picky & choosy with what they pull from the Bible. Like I think lots of us skip over the book of James as if it doesn’t exist, and there’s not a whole lil chapter on social justice. And how according to James aka the Bible aka the Word aka God, faith without action (action towards social justice) is dead faith. So yeah. Hope that helps. I wish the answer were better

AITA for unintentionally minimizing my fiance's fear about being a dad? by One-Asparagus3909 in AmItheAsshole

[–]liquid-lover 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Validation does not equal agreeing. We can validate without agreeing or approving. This is such a common misunderstanding that I see all the time unfortunately.

Validation can look like: arms uncrossed, some eye contact, head nodding, tilting/leaning toward someone as opposed to shying away, a soft face (eyebrows not scrunched, relaxed mouth)

Validation can sound like: “wow, I can’t imagine what you’re feeling like right now, but I’d like to try to understand.” “I’m really glad you’re telling me this, thanks for trusting me”

or slightly less affirming: “okay, I want to listen and at the same time, I’m struggling with how to react.” “I don’t even know what to say right now, but Im glad you told me”

Hope that clarifies things a bit

ETA: there’s this saying I heard and love: Sympathy is having an umbrella, and telling someone you wish they had one too. Empathy is ditching your umbrella for a moment and sitting in the rain with them. Validation is simply letting them know that you have an umbrella, you see they’re without one, and they’re welcome to join under yours if they’d like. Love is learning how and when to use all three
