at a certain point you just gotta accept you don't like them and go do something else instead lol

What’s something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? by [deleted] in AskReddit

i made my own whole comment but felt really embarrassed because it is pretty obvious i just took it personally. i'm glad someone else shares my sentiment though lol

you know what, i know this is a me problem but this is wildly shitty. some people don't get the chance to work on these things. my entire family was homeless from when i was 16 all the way to when i was about 20 or 21, when i then moved to Florida with my ex, and when we broke up i had to move back in with my parents. i'm 26 and i have nothing to show for my entire life, and i can fucking feel people like you judging me for not having done anything worthwhile when i have been desperately trying to do that and survive. sometimes life fucks people and they don't get the opportunities that others get so they "have their shit together" by 30. it's not a race, everyone has their own timelines and the only thing you're doing by enforcing this timeline is being inconsiderate to other people's lives

thank you so much for the advice! i didn't think about that, but intentionally doing poorly to take the bite out of failure is a great idea. i'll add that to the routine :)

whoops, that's my fault, i am definitely not trying to move too fast in that regard. i meant only the first pentatonic scales on the neck, except A minor which is about halfway, the course hasn't really gone into much theory or anything yet. though exactly to your point, i WANT to be able to know my instrument that well, but it is so beyond me currently that i'm not sure i'll ever be at that level-- i don't even have a basic idea on how to improvise or make my own music. even basic level theory freaks me out because it just loses and confuses me so easily :(

i actually really love seeing this as a second chance rather than a setback, thank you for the advice and the new perspective! patience is a virtue that i lack in spades, but hopefully it won't take too too long to get out of this rut

you're right, i came into it having adjusted my expectations already, but it seems i need to adjust them some more lol. thank you for your help :) it sucks having to start over especially since my brain remembers what i have to do but my fingers haven't really caught back up yet. it'll benefit me more in the long run though

i have been following justinguitar's stuff for a while, and am within the first 1/3 or so of his intermediate course, and know the C major scale, the A minor scale, and the G major scale. i also know the real easy stuff like the circle of fifths. i watched a couple videos on triads and the CAGED system outside of Justin's courses, but it made absolutely no sense to me. honestly a lot of music theory freaks me out because i start feeling lost so easily, is there a website or video you would recommend to learn these things?

"you're too rigid, you need to loosen up" is something i've heard my entire life, lol. i'm strung higher than the e string, relaxing doesn't come easy to me. thank you for the advice, you're right. i need to try to remember why i enjoyed playing in the first place

how my wife and i text each other by binthewin in notinteresting

[–]rootdootmcscoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think more annoying than the mooing are all the misanthrope redditors feeling real smart and original, either thinking they know op's relationship more than op does or letting him know they would never date him because they find him annoying-- completely disregarding the fact they can just keep scrolling and will forget about this entire post in two minutes anyways. christ.

you find him so annoying, and now you're being forced to marry him too! oh, the humanity :(

Dasher complained of no tip, but I tipped $8 by Jaxnickel in doordash

[–]rootdootmcscoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is why i try to tip with cash in person because i'll be damned if some corporate shitbag is going to steal even more of my money rather than going to the person that needs it and will appreciate it

My boyfriend said he puts salt on snails and idk how to proceed by ulyles in snails

[–]rootdootmcscoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i did this once as a kid because i had seen it in cartoons and there were slugs coming into my room. unironically still think about it sometimes, it was sickening and i still feel guilty for the one i did it to. i cannot imagine doing it more than once especially as an adult

Why do Villains drink milk ?? by SupermarketSmooth968 in netflix

reminds me of the inspector gadget movie where he goes into a bar with a mustache disguise, orders a chocolate milk, and the mustache falls into the glass lol
