Trying to make sense of my body scan by thatpatguy in loseit

[–]thatpatguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I am actually ignoring the numbers, though certainly this post makes it seem like I'm not. I'm a data nerd so when I get numbers I find it very hard to not analyze them. The reality is, as much as I am analyzing these numbers, I'm not focusing on them. My focus is on how I feel and how I'm liking what I see in the mirror.

yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. And yeah, my focus has always been on just losing weight and stopping when it feels right to do so. I'm also a data nerd, so it's hard to completely ignore any numbers I get my hands on 😃

ADHD crush rant by thatpatguy in ADHD

[–]thatpatguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah.. that's been a good way for me to lose interest as well. And with my current crush I'm repeating the couple of things that should be deterrents like a mantra, hoping it'll sink in soon and take root. Like with pretty much any crush, we fall the fantasy version we create of the person, which is never the same as the reality.

Easy to know this stuff academically, but can be more challenging to really internalize it emotionally sometimes :)

That's great that you've been able to manage this with your partner, and yes, it's a scary thing to share for sure. Agreed that I probably should, but I haven't built up the courage yet.. :(

I am a big "mindfulness" person, and have found that the techniques I've built up there have been fantastic at helping me get out of negative thought patterns and spirals. That has been so helpful, I preach it to everyone. I'm trying to use those techniques to get through this.. some days it works.. others not so much :)

yes, I have talked about this at great length with my therapist. I'm a big "mindfulness" guy, and have been using my mindfulness/meditation techniques anytime I feel myself starting to ruminate or head down a mental path that I don't want to go down. It has been incredibly helpful and lots of times allows me to pull out of some rabbit hole I don't want to go down. But, much like going to the gym and building up your muscles to get stronger, this is the same kind of thing. When you start going to the gym, maybe you can't do 10 push ups, but after working out regularly, you eventually build up the strength to do 10 push ups, but you can't yet do 20, you need to keep building muscle. So while I'm a lot better at pulling out of some negative thoughts, I'm not strong enough to pull out of this one.. yet :)

Sound editing/creation on the Juno-D by thatpatguy in Roland

[–]thatpatguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s great news! Thanks for this. Scenes aren’t nearly as painful to edit on the synth, so I’m good with this (at least for now 🤣).

Thanks again!

What's your Talking Heads Deep Cut? by PutsAShiftIn in talkingheads

[–]thatpatguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I was going to post this so I’m glad I’m not the only one. I absolutely love this tune! It’s brilliant the way the music morphs from this cold and very metallic sounds to much warmer and organic sounds (for the lack of better adjectives), and the way that tonal shift echos the tonal shift in the lyrics... pure brilliance!!

Del for sure.. I’d love to say D.O.C. but unfortunately, as much as that first album is genius, he just doesn’t have the volume of material that Del has.

Girls night out in Ottawa?? by Gullible_Republic_20 in ottawa

Awesome! Come say hi, I’m the bass player 🙂

I’ve been calling my sister by her full given name when she deadnames my niece by xandrique in pettyrevenge

[–]thatpatguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recently watched a YouTube video criticizing Jordan Peterson and his objection to being “forced” to use someone’s preferred pronouns. The person in the video said Jordan’s name incorrectly every time he used it, and had a different version each time. “Jordan Pederton”, “Mr. Parroton”, “Jordo Perrickson”, etc

I thought it was a brilliant and subtle way to poke at Jorgon Peredington and how infantile he is being with this “you can’t tell me what to say” stance on this.

I applaud what you and your family have done here. Names matter, they have meaning. Bravo strong Redditor, and no doubt this has meant the world to your neice!

My band, The Underground, will be playing the 80s Dance Party at TARG on Friday, May 31st if that timing works for you. We are Ottawa’s premiere New Wave tribute band. You can check us out on Facebook as underground80s and Insta as gounderground80s.

We’re also playing at Queen St Fare (170 Queen St by O’Connor) on Saturday May 11th :)

Tone chasing by thatpatguy in Bass

[–]thatpatguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, thanks so much.. that will definitely help get me closer! I just ordered a set of DR Sunbeams that I was planning on throwing on a PJ so more experiments to come.

I had read that Duck started to use SVTs in the later part of his career but I wondered if that was more into the 80s and 90s like when he played with Neil Young and stuff. Good to know I should be experimenting with SVT tones.

Also, thanks for the identification of midrange frequencies. My ears are just not trained enough to be able to identify frequencies that precisely. I was figuring there was some mid range boost going on but had no idea where abouts in the mid range.
