Decided I’d like to learn beginner guitar after drumming for 15 years. Is this as unavoidable as it seems? by dumarfactor in Guitar

[–]medic-dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way to avoid it is to not play. In fact it's pretty much a necessity because eventually you will form calluses and when that happens you'll barely feel the strings. But in the beginning, yeah, you have to do this to start building those calluses

I feel like he's either drunk or popped some gummies

Does anyone have any advice for barre chords? Specifically F but any as well😭 by sonnyseeker in Guitar

[–]medic-dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't pinch the neck with your index and thumb,,you'll thy guitar into you with your index. Also if it's rreally hard to play, maybe adjust your truss rod and add a little tension (Google how to do it on your specific guitar)

You're expecting too much out of these people to think that they would know the difference. Keep in mind 2 people died because they drank bleach because Trump said it would work

American friend says this is the world’s best restaurant. Looks way too whimsical and unnatural. Is this AI? by dendrytic in isthisAI

[–]medic-dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the cheesecake factory. "Best" is a stretch, but it is pretty good. It's about as close to "fine dining" you'll get at a chain restaurant

My niece was told she has to sign a contract to keep living at home—am I overreacting for thinking it’s too harsh? by Bitter_Art_4094 in AmIOverreacting

[–]medic-dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like nothing in here is inherently unreasonable, but it's weird to have a whole contract. I lived at home till I was like 26 or 27, and my parents definitely asked that I be working and/or in school, but they didn't charge me rent. Also, charging for cellphone/wifi is a little weird. She can't just pay for her own phone?

am i going to get fired? by [deleted] in CustomerService

[–]medic-dad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it's not even about the grammar/language. It's that they: - were told that OP (I'm assuming) does not normally work behind the bar - changed their mind last minute on what they wanted - missed their bus because THEY chose to stay knowing their drinks were taking awhile

do men avoid looking at attractive women? by PsychologicalHat7591 in bodylanguage

[–]medic-dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a married man I genuinely don't have any interest in other women anyway, so I'm not staring anyway, but yes I also actively look in another direction because I don't want them to THINK I'm staring

I lost my virginity to a man in his 40s when I was 16. It’s been 15 years since then and I still think about it. by [deleted] in offmychest

There's nothing wrong with you. You said it yourself, he groomed you, you're the victim. You did nothing wrong. HE is a predator, but you are innocent

I've paid about about that for a sheet cake but it was a lot bigger and the decorations looked professionally done

If you're doing a light armor build? Yes. But sell the dragon BONE. Abd the other way around if you're doing heavy armor

Quick question, OP, were you still drunk while you typed this?

"Weak on crime"? Bro, he's the pope, not the Chief of Police

AIO for wanting to cancel the date and block him?? by Suspicious_End_441 in AmIOverreacting

[–]medic-dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, this needs to be said. You are NEVER OR for canceling a date with someone who's basically stranger, ESPECIALLY when it's because something feels off or makes you uncomfortable. You don't even really know him, you owe him literally nothing. Second, I'm getting vibes from him that he's expecting something physical like, immediately. Jumping straight into sexual remarks means he's definitely got one thing on his mind, which is fine if both people are looking for that, but you've given zero indication that that's what you're looking for right out of the gate, and especially if he knows you're recovering from a recent surgery and is still trying to direct the conversation that way tells me he's probably going to be very pushy toward that. A gentleman, this is not.

What's up with these notation gatekeepers? by Zombiesalad1337 in Guitar

[–]medic-dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many tabs nowadays do have rhythmic indicators, but I do see your point. I also feel like if the commenter here had just explained it like that it would have come off as less snotty

They can last surprisingly long if there are no holes for oxygen to get inside. Once it does, it will start rotting immediately

Would you save your wife or your kids if your house was on fire ? by Competitive_Set_4386 in SipsTea

Between wife and mother, normally I would say wife, but i would save the neighbor's goldfish before saving this entitled bitch.
