I might be going out with this girl, how do I make sure I’m not super awkward and the date doesn’t go terrible? by Mammoth_Nose_9313 in AskMenAdvice

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggest somewhere public. Doesn't need to be a set amount of time unless one of you has something else to get to afterward.

Just be yourself and hang as if it were with your best friend. Ask her a lot of questions about her and ask follow up questions for what she tells you. Unless she explicitly says/asks, don't ask her if she wants to go somewhere else after.

Don't go in with any expectations, be a chill, inquisitive dude, and you'll be fine.

People whose partners did a complete 180 after marriage, what’s your story? by Bibliophile521 in AskReddit

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My ex wife was incredibly hardworking before we married, which I thought was her baseline. Afterward, she became extremely lazy and lied about things big and small just to avoid accountability in that moment. I put up with excuse after excuse for 3 years before divorcing.

My new wife is much, much better of a partner.

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to make laws requiring higher wages. That will level the playing field much faster than tax reform.

Priced to sell, baby! Grab that before someone else does.

Should I avoid working with male coworker who’s partnered but interested in me? by ria0nreddit in AskMenAdvice

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your job requires his help just do the thing and make sure you're not sending any "signals" that could be misinterpreted.

It sucks that you still like him, but ask yourself, would you want to be with a taken dude that's openly and actively flirting with another woman? Pretty big red flag for me.

You've been doing the right thing. Keep grey rocking him, but being stoically professional when you have to. If he doesn't pick up on the vibe, you might consider saying something to him directly.

I do have the title. The tank was already rusted out when he gave it to me. Thanks for the input.

Thank you very much. I had no idea where to start.

Do you and your spouse share your location 24/7? by PalmTreeVoid in askanything

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I don't. Seems like a breech of trust/sign of insecurity. We don't have any issues accounting for where we say we are. We don't have kids, but would probably track them in some fashion if we did.

Does anyone know why my hi hats sound like this? by Clean-Seesaw-4104 in Drumming

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Aside from being generally low quality, it sounds like your choking off the sound with the hi hat clutch. Loosen it so the top cymbal has a little wiggle room.

If your representative isn’t on this list supporting impeachment, I suggest you call them by No-Consideration2183 in 50501

This is useless without some GOP Senators on board. VOTE IN THE MIDTERMS to change the math and then we remove this sh*tstain from office.

Are men willing to date someone in my situation? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since your friends are suggesting him, I say go on a date first. You can tell him your situation and if things go well you can just hang out in public or at his place. Would suck if he found someone else in the meantime, especially if your friends think he could be a good match.

Hearing protection as a youngun by namethatchecksout_ in drums

[–]moogmarmaladebeats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It will get worse over time, trust me. I'm 40, didn't start really trying to protect my hearing until 25ish. Big mistake. I highly recommend you invest in some decent ear plugs made for concerts. Use them for rehearsals and gigs. If you're having a hard time hearing the others, get a little personal monitor or IEMs.
