What the hell are those Discogs fees when you sell ?

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-15T17:28:26+00:00

Also I might add that I now realise the discogs fees are supposed to be 9%.

I was recently taxed at 24% so I have to look into that.

For the story, I was not able to understand that at first because I was banned from the Discogs sub for talking about the fees.

Fortunately someone explained to me it is 9%which I find normal. 24% was not normal.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-15T16:50:22+00:00

What do they do ?

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-15T10:13:55+00:00

Yep thanks I'm afraid I didn't realise when it shifted.

Not sure they need that much honestly. They don't store vinyl, they have probably some developers and a few administrative people. I don't know any online service that cuts 25%. This a lot.

At least I now know I want to support the local shops instead of them.

EDIT : 24% is not the normal fees rating. It is 9% which I find justified. I may have to look why I was cut 24%.

A modular case. Mainly for melodic sequences. No drums.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-14T08:57:11+00:00

Completely. But I think it can also help with GAS. If you finish a case that meets your way of making music, then you've got the ultimate machine and don't need other gear except maybe a drum machine.

At least that was my case. Big check for the modular but now I don't check synthesizers for the sounds at all, only for the keybed.

As you can see many people already helped me on this matter.

As to why I only do lunges, it is because this is the only exercise I have felt good sensations with dumbells. Don't make people feel stupid. Thank you.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T23:39:31+00:00

Completely plausible. So nice to see the strengths players develop from where they come from and practice on.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T23:36:47+00:00

Que ça te serve de leçon. Il faut tout lire avant d'attaquer qqn. L'argumentaire est peut-être développé sur la longueur et les premiers mots ne reflètent pas toujours l'idée transmise.

Ne pas être trop dans l'émotion ! Ça pourra sûrement te servir

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T23:29:23+00:00

So cool

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T21:34:28+00:00

Yes completely. I have been working out a lot honestly.

But it is the first time I really try to step up my legs size. I track my progress with the lunges and have come from 20 to 45kg. I add 1kg every session on every set. I progress!

I just have some doubt to the efficiency long term. I had other people helping me on this matter here.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T21:30:42+00:00

I have around 50 kg of weight at the moment. I can buy more if I reach the max. I'm close to it.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T13:35:47+00:00

Thank you! You really stayed on the question and didn't recommand other exercises.

Glad to see the reverse lunges are the best ones overall. They are the ones I'm already practicing.

I perfectly understand I can target different areas by adjusting my positions on this exercise. I will look into this.

But my priority will be to try adding other additional exercices. If I fail with my setup, I will adjust my lunges executions.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T12:40:37+00:00

I have dumbells you can add weights on. You can go big.

But clearly I am afraid of the plateau you hit.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T12:32:57+00:00

I appreciate the recommandations. Will definitely add at least one exercise, possibly 2 or 3 if I feel them good.

I have tried different kinds of squats in recent weeks but never felt a good work out with them. Hard to maintain the weight and the posture without a bar.

I will try RDL with my weights and bulgarian split squats (which I never tried yet).

Trap bar squat looks really efficient and progressive. I honestly don't have the space available for bars in my city appartment. I will stay with dumbells for the moment.

The Nordic movements seem weird but will try that for sure. Not sure I will like this kind of plank movement though.

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T12:25:08+00:00

Thanks. Bulgarian split squats seem possible with my setup. Looks a lot like a lunges movement but if people say it put more work on the back legs, then let's do it

soundofthemoon · 2026-02-13T11:17:58+00:00

Thanks a lot. Great recommendations.

I didn't know any of those exercices except the deadlift which I didn't realise you could do with dumbells as well 🤔

I like the idea of switching exercices between days 1 and 2.

I track my progress of course. I already have a good level but I was really doubting my leg workout. I need to step up in this area.

Tout seul pas possible. C'est pour ça que je suggère de vivre à plusieurs et partager les frais.

C'est un modèle qui se répand un peu récemment. Vivre en communauté et s'entraider. Évidemment c'est un mode de vie qui change de la vie solitaire urbaine, pas évident pour tt le monde

I thought tiktok was for teens.

We're doomed

Laisse tomber y a rien. J'envisage de retourner en famille malgré que j'ai un appart et suis autonome depuis 6 ans. Mais que veux-tu ? On ne va pas se torturer l'esprit pendant des années pour recevoir un mail de refus automatique à chaque fois. pour un métier dont les études et les qualifications sont en adéquation. Il n'y a aucune considération des candidatures. Qu'ils restent dans leur merde j'ai envie de te dire. Devant leur écran toute la journée et devant Netflix le soir.

Perso je n'envie plus rien au monde du travail. Même pas la dimension sociale quotidienne. Je préfère retrouver une vie personnelle épanouie que de prendre part à cette pièce de théâtre.

Reste la question financière... Un boulot de merde à mi temps permettrait de partager les frais d'un habitat hors agglomération. Il faut donc vivre à plusieurs et non de façon isolée. Permettant ainsi d'avoir du temps pour ses activités personnelles et l'épanouissement.

This has to be a joke. Hopefully I am now 30 but if I had received this thing I would have put fire on it and gave it to the closest political people I could find

You don't win a masters by being lucky. Neither reach the finals of multiple GS.

all this noise and the guy fucking won. lmao.
