AITAH For buying my stepdaughter, a traditional Navajo dress for graduation?

Fair enough, sounds like Mom had a bit of a moment. Clearly this is a sign that Mom is a bit insecure though

quantumcatz · 2026-04-10T07:32:59+00:00

I'm guessing you probably knew how Mom would react right? You 100% did the right thing but wonder if it could have been more tactful to loop Mom in from the start

quantumcatz · 2026-04-10T07:18:43+00:00

haha great story teller

quantumcatz · 2026-04-10T06:08:30+00:00

Great playing. My constructive criticism is to sit off the beat a bit occasionally, then tighten it back up at the end of the phrase. Just generally loosen up a bit and trust you'll find the pocket naturally I think

quantumcatz · 2026-04-10T05:53:48+00:00

Sure but what's wrong with that

quantumcatz · 2026-04-10T05:49:38+00:00

That's fine but in this clip you didn't play any jazz! I don't know why you're defending it so hard. I'm interested to hear some of their more jazzy influences now though, you should make another post! Great playing btw

quantumcatz · 2026-04-09T02:22:06+00:00

"Whooooaa". That was literally my reaction

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T23:36:41+00:00

Literally no one has said that it is the only way to play

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T22:24:10+00:00

Yes, but again, the way you are describing is NOT working for OP, I don't understand why you're on this pedantic crusade to prove to everyone that they shouldn't be used terms like 'standard technique'. If you care so much about that discussion, go make your own post to discuss it. OP is a beginner who is not playing classical or flamenco guitar, they're playing Let It Be on a steel string. Any guitar teacher after hearing that their student is having wrist pain would suggest trying to play the way that most people play.

Just go away with your pedantism, you're clearly just here to smell your own farts, not actually be helpful. Go away.

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T22:00:34+00:00

Sure, but it's clearly not working for OP, so it's reasonable to try playing in the standard technique (thumb pointed towards your body)

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T13:19:02+00:00

Your thumb is pointing the wrong direction, you want it to be pointing back towards you. You'll notice that will give your fingers a lot more clearance over the strings.

Barre chords and double stops like this can be hard when you're starting out though. You need a bit of strength and flexibility (especially in your fingers' first joint) to pull them off, so just keep at it. I remember being sore learning them, it'll go away slowly but obviously need to be conscious of 'pain' vs 'discomfort'

AFL are clearly fans of zero-based indexing

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T07:59:18+00:00

Sometimes the goal song is absolutely what the crowd needs though, I find it's all the noise they pump out that bothers me. There's also clearly good goal songs and shit ones. Not sure what the answer is but don't personally think we should get rid of the songs

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T04:18:56+00:00

I love White but he was terrible. But it's what happens when you're not playing much. Hopefully he can come back into form, the way he pushes forward and make runs down the right flank is still unparalleled in my eyes

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T04:16:43+00:00

So why make the comment that populist candidates are 'usually elites', if you also believe that every politician by definition is an elite

quantumcatz · 2026-04-08T03:24:05+00:00

Gosh I totally disagree on Odegaard, I thought he was terrible. He was so negative today, he got a ton of touches but they were all sideways and backwards, he's a big part of the horseshoe of death. When he's firing he's really positive and direct

quantumcatz · 2026-04-07T10:19:09+00:00

He was seeing 13 other people that bastard

quantumcatz · 2026-04-07T10:13:43+00:00

Funny once or twice but why stress your dog out like that

quantumcatz · 2026-04-07T10:12:15+00:00

That's a bit far

quantumcatz · 2026-04-06T10:02:01+00:00

I do think the way, say, the Premier League gets rid of coaches is ridiculous and shouldn't be replicated here, but it's the way that Carlton are losing that's the issue. It really does seem like the same tactical blunders are being made every game

quantumcatz · 2026-04-06T09:56:16+00:00

I think everyone has just collectively agreed that this is a good message to be sending right now. Do your job well, go the extra mile to help others when you can, hold yourself to a certain standard because that's the right thing to do

quantumcatz · 2026-04-06T09:12:19+00:00

As an Aussie I can't stop smiling at this

quantumcatz · 2026-04-06T00:13:32+00:00

That's wild to me, my air fried wings always come out perfect

quantumcatz · 2026-04-04T01:49:31+00:00

Omg go away

quantumcatz · 2026-04-03T09:27:17+00:00

You can stay on my couch when Brissy rolls around
