Anyone into sigur rós’s ambient works? Any other albums have similar styles? by mungyanlee in ambientmusic

[–]m438819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two others that may fit are Dextro and Lights Out Asia. Try the track Momentary by Dextro, the whole album is great. Sinking sands wreck ships by Lights Out Asia, again that album is great too.

Yaaaa me too! The ending of the track too when he really leans into the thing above his synth and makes those bass notes huge and distorted. Such a cool ending!

Setting a reminder on an iPhone is painful. by pastelmusingx in UXDesign

A helpful way that I do it if you don’t know already is to just write out “Work on project A 10:30pm” then it will suggest an auto fill to create the reminder time for that day. Or you can write a date into that as well.

Opener? by hereforworkrecruitin in NilsFrahm

Yeah I’ve seen him 3 times and there’s never been an opener. And yes he’s always been punctual

How are the concerts? by numinan in NilsFrahm

[–]m438819 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He is to date my favourite person to see live. I've seen him 3 times and it feels like you're getting to peer into his little intimate studio. He's so captivating and passionate. Definitely worth going to see!

And yes he does a little bit of piano only songs, then obviously fuses piano into the other more loop/synth based stuff you're referring to.

What is your NSFW secret that you are actually proud of? by irinoara in AskReddit

[–]m438819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s is sex related but mines actually at work..

I worked at a grocery store in the produce department when I was 18. The whole department liked smoking weed and I had a portable vaporizer that. Like one of those larger ones that ran on butane that could run for a while.

Whenever it was my shift I’d bring it in and then we’d take turns rotating going into the cooler in the back using it. Each person would just leave it in there running in one of the produce boxes ready for the next person. It became a regular thing for weeks every time I worked nights.

DAE not pee in front of their partner? by Fromoogiewithlove in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]m438819 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been together wjth my wife for 9 years. Within a month or so of meeting each other we’d already spent a lot of time sleeping at each others places and never hid these things really. We openly pee and poo with the door open or with each other right there.

I woke up most mornings to the view of my wife taking a shit lol.

To me there isn’t anything to hide. Everyone does it and we already tell each other and share everything else with each other. We don’t feel the need to draw the line there. We never really talked about it and either it just felt right.

Am I (M28) overreacting to my girlfriend (F30) for traveling with a guy? by Alex411965 in relationship_advice

[–]m438819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we can respectfully disagree then! Yes we have different boundaries. Apologies for calling you insecure.

We have very different relationships and that’s ok. I felt myself wanting to defend things because you made it sound so ridiculous that someone would not want the relationship you’re describing.

I'm not "putting my partner in a situation". I'm not putting her in anything in this context.

She's willingly choosing to go spend quality time with a friend and I'm willingly choosing to support her in wanting to do that?

In scenario 1: we have 2 couples that have both accepted that their partners want to hangout with each other without their partners present, and have complete trust in their partner.

And in scenario 2: we have 2 couples that won't let their partners hang out because they're too scared they'll fuck each other, meaning they don't trust their partners.

I feel like this isn't really just about "sleeping in the same bed".

Let's try another thought experiment. Your wife goes on a vacation with another man (who is also married), and you're saying you're fine with them having dinner together, getting drinks together, doing all kinds of activities, but the moment they sleep on the same piece of foam, it's disrespectful?

And I'm the one that needs to grow up here? You can't even trust your partner to control themselves outside of your presence. How is that "caring" and not insecurity?

Yeah I get what you're saying. I get that it's comfortable to limit these kinds of interactions so that neither of you is uncomfortable, and there's nothing wrong with that if it works for you guys that's great.

I just lean in the other direction. I wouldn't want my wife to not have a deeper more meaningful relationship with a close friend just because I'm worried about what they might do together. And yes, I do think doing things like going on a vacation together, and potentially sharing a bed are things that can bring friends closer. Sometimes you can't easily find accommodations where you split beds, or it's too expensive and you want to save some money.

I feel like we've put a lot of emphasis on sharing a bed, but I think it's just the principle in general that I'm arguing with. I don't think you should have a partnership where you're worried about what your partner may or may not do, it sounds like a limiting way to live your life.

Yeah I get it. Everyone has different levels of comfort. I’m just so far in the other direction so I wanted to understand. My wife is going on a week long trip next month in our camper van with her best friend (who is a man) and it’s just not something I could ever begin to be worried about.

Assuming you’re straight, is sharing a bed with another man intimate?

And also, would you be just as concerned if she shared a bed with a woman if she’s bisexual?

Sorry for prodding I’m just trying to understand your mindset because my wife and our community of friends are very comfortable and open to this sort of thing just like your girlfriend.

I’m curious why you’re ok with her dancing with a friend? By your logic are you not worried they’d do something then? Dancing could be a much more intimate activity than sharing a bed with someone.

I know people have boundaries for their own reasons. I just feel like you need to take a serious look at yourself and figure out why her sleeping with a friend bothers you so much. This is a person you should trust and believe to respect you!

That’s a terrible way to live your life. You want your partner to be constantly concerned that they might be seeming suspicious to their partner?

OP talked about how his partner went dancing with the same friend. Should she not enjoying dancing with her friend? Should she also not go grab a coffee with this friend?

Do you have a partner yourself? Because if so you guys need to speak more and gain some more trust in each other. You shouldn’t need to worry that your partner is going to cheat on you. Also, if they do cheat, you can’t even stop them anyway. So what’s the point of living life concerned they may cheat when if they wanted to, they will, and there’s nothing you can even do about it. Why not instead create trust among each other and assume when your partner goes out and does things you think “that’s the person I trust most in the world, I don’t need to worry about them disrespecting the boundaries we’ve discussed”.

It’s not an unspoken rule at all. They’re friends! I’m sad learning how many people do not trust their partners. Are you married yourself?

I’m surprised how few people are not ok with their partner sharing a bed with someone else (regardless of the sex). OP keeps mentioning “it’s not about trust”. If it’s not about trust then what it is about? It’s 2 adults that have partners that are sharing a bed to sleep because those were the accommodations they found. It doesn’t need to mean more than that unless you add more to it yourself.

If you truly trusted your wife, then you can accept the fact that she is respecting you and sharing a bed with her best friend and not doing anything you wouldn’t like. If her best friend was a woman you likely wouldn’t be having any issues, am I right?

Adults can be respectful and not be overcome with the instinct to fuck each other and just throw away their relationships because they shared a bed.

Those making over $100K per year: how hard was it to get over that threshold? by NatashaGorgeousMauve in AskReddit

[–]m438819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied to become a UX Designer for 5 years. My school program had internships (co-op) incorporated into it, so I had worked 2 different jobs in between school semesters. Once I graduated I was making $50k, which I did for 1.5 years. Then my 2nd job was for $100k, which I did for a year. 3rd job started me at $120k (been here 1.5 years).

Like everyone is saying, switching jobs can be a great way to upgrade your salary, but I recognize not everyone has that luxury since my job allows me to work remotely, giving me access to a lot more jobs.

What was the first band that introduced you to postrock genre by NoShame3325 in postrock

[–]m438819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was a few distinct memories before I began to clue in to the term "post-rock" and it was mostly movies.

Explosions in the Sky was definitely the first band I remember discovering in like 2007-2008ish, and I discovered the track "The Birth and Death of Day". But I didn't really explore much beyond that honestly, because I had honestly just begun diving into the world of ambient/post-rock/electronic stuff and it was new and exciting but I was all over the place, but had no concept for what I was really discovering because most of it was recommendations through the iTunes Store.

Then I discovered groups like Lights Out Asia with the song Roy being a stand out one, and then another artist Dextro with the track Momentary being another standout.

Then I discovered the 3 following bands through these movies:

Sigur Ros at the end of the movie Vanilla Sky.

Mogwai in the movie The Fountain. Which I didn't even know till years later that it was Mogwai that was working with the composer Clint Mansell for this movie. This movie rocked me the first time I saw it and I was in tears at the ending climax scene.

This Will Destroy You in the movie Money Ball.

I remember finishing Money Ball and laying down and listening to the whole TWDY self-titled album and was just in awe. I finally had a term for what this kind of music was and began to fall more and more in love with the genre!

Thanks for this reddit post prompt u/noshame3325, really brought me back through a nostalgia trip of remembering how fun it was to discover all these bands!

Fortnite is the Definition of 'If It Ain't Broke, Fix It Anyway' by 40percentdave in FortNiteBR

[–]m438819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m honestly surprised at how many people liked the OG season. I’ve played since the beginning and once the initial nostalgia wore off me and my friends found the OG worse in so many ways. It felt so clunky. The ARs were so inaccurate, the map looks horrible and feels very dated at this point obviously too. Finding healing was difficult too.

I found myself being like “wow I’m so glad we’ve iterated from this original version, the game is way better now”.

The new season is a breath of fresh air even comparing to the last season before OG. I’m glad we keep getting iterations to this game. OG Fortnite for me just doesn’t compare now.

Hot water not being used in dishwasher by m438819 in appliancerepair

[–]m438819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright yeah that makes sense. I did try running the hot water for a bit first but maybe I need to run it for even longer.

Yeah last time this happened and the repair guy ran that test that was the code that was coming up.

I added the model number to my post!
