No, it just feels like that because you can't keep it up anymore.
Yup. Like, I know I knew this at one point and can't remember the details to save my life. I remember doing the deep dive. I remember enjoying it and feeling energized by it. And now I'm standing here word vomiting bs and repeating "I know I looked it up once"
That sounds awful. I dunno. I mean, at the heart of it all, on some level you're allowing him to continue this behavior by going to him each time. If you don't go, he has to either keep calling until you give in, or if you don't give in, he can get pouty about it, yell about it, or eventually come and actually find you.
If you stand your ground and refuse, eventually he has to change his behavior. But, getting to that point will be very uncomfortable. So the question is, how much do you want things to change? Are you willing to go through that discomfort to get your needs met?
What does he do if you stay where you're at and ask what he wants you for?
Not new, but my biggest one is physically placing things I need to remember in the path of my daily routine. Like if I need to remember to bring my laptop to work, I might put my computer mouse in my shoe.
Another one is moving things in stages. If I'm cleaning my living room and something needs to go upstairs, I'll just leave it on the stairs for the next time I go up. Otherwise I'm likely to get distracted when I get up there and forget to continue cleaning downstairs.
I also try to have multiples of things that I use in multiple rooms or places. Like a small trashcan in all my rooms so I don't have to go somewhere else to throw it away. It minimizes distractions and helps me stay focused on the current task.
That's a regional thing I think. I've never seen it in the US. But it seems like they are hell bent on obfuscating information wherever possible.
I looked up this article about it after googling the lyrics. Sounds like there was much more backlash after the music video dropped which has now been pulled from some streaming sites.
The bigger controversy was filming at a courthouse famous for lynching and using BLM protest footage in the video.
As a side note, there were babies on that plane in those temperatures for that long!?
That was my thought too, that's deadly for babies and children. I'm astounded.
Lordy, you'll never learn them all. I'd be surprised if I've learned 20, and I consider myself an intermediate player. But like I said, you can do a LOT with a little. And once you have the ground work, you get to decide where you want to go next with it. There's so many different ways and styles to play. Just find stuff that's fun and easy to start with. That'll help keep you motivated.
Not dumb at all, it's a very honest beginner question.
To start with, I recommend finding a song that you want to work at that has 3-4 chords, work on that until you can fairly confidently chord shift between those and then start adding more. The next several songs you work on should have 1-2 new chords outside of your base 3-4. [I've found Ultimate-Guitar to be a good resource due to sheer volume]
For beginning chords, these are very useful major chords: C,G,D,A. useful minor: Am, Em. I like these because they are everywhere and they're easier to learn. When you move on to your next step, I'd start adding in bar-chords. So: F,F#m,B,Bm
For strumming, typically you strum all the strings individually, but in succession. Just sweep the pick across the strings. Experiment with angles, pick stiffness, how hard/loose you hold it. I'd start with either just all down strums, or a down/up/down/up thing. Wait to go any more complicated than that until you feel more comfortable maintaining your timing during chord changes. Then when you're confident with your chord progression, find some strumming patterns you like to play around with. But honestly, if you find one strumming pattern that is a step above the basics and you have 5-6 chords to work with, you can play a LOT of songs, and non-musicians will think you're amazing.
Swing Swing The D/F# is a little more than I'd recommend for a beginner, but this would be a good second step song.
Damn Regret Has a bar F in it, but you can also cheat that a little, you can scroll through the fingering options, and 2 of 16 doesn't use the full bar chord. Just make sure you're not playing the strings with 'x' over them.
Closing Time Not one of the bands you listed, Bb,Ab,Eb,Cm are only in a small spot in the bridge, and you can play the song without those.
Beginning guitar can be demotivating because there's so much to focus on at once. You're trying to learn a new hand shape, you're trying to focus on holding down each string so you're not buzzing, you're trying to make sure you're not touching other strings so you're not muting the chord. Then doing the same thing with the next chord. And on top of that, throw in strumming or picking, and then singing a different rhythm over all that complexity - the whole process can very quickly feel like too much. So give yourself permission to be bad at one part while you're focusing on another. Pick your first songs to be simple and that energize you and make you want to practice and find the next thing.
Interesting, maybe I shouldn't be surprised, humans haven't changed much over the eons.
Any recommendations for true disaster videos? That sounds y up my alley.
It concerns me that we're seeing this more and more in industry. Middle fingers to regulations because when you have enough money, it doesn't matter.
And it took AN HOUR per ant AFTER getting the process down. This person spent over an entire work week shaving ants.
I'm just imagining dinner conversation with their partner that week discussing their progress for the day.
Ant hair is about 98% reflective, and is very similar to how fiber optics work. SEM images in the link for fellow nerds.
On shaving ants:
> Speaking to MailOnline, Willot confirmed this 'was indeed a tricky procedure. They are very reactive and won't stop struggling once caught, preventing any shaving attempt if not anaesthetised.'
> This was done by exposing the ants for a few seconds to carbon dioxide, then strapping them down firmly.
> Hairs were removed using a high-power binocular telescope and a very sharp blade.
> 'It's the same as shaving your own chin: the scalpel blade has to move in the opposite direction of the hair's growth. It has to be a delicate and gentle motion,' said Willot.
> After practising on large soldier ants, he found that a smaller worker ant could be entirely shaved in an hour of delicate work.
> He estimates around 40 ants were shaved altogether to produce seven good examples for the experiments.
For the curious:
Speaking to MailOnline, Willot confirmed this 'was indeed a tricky procedure. They are very reactive and won't stop struggling once caught, preventing any shaving attempt if not anaesthetised.'
This was done by exposing the ants for a few seconds to carbon dioxide, then strapping them down firmly.
Hairs were removed using a high-power binocular telescope and a very sharp blade.
'It's the same as shaving your own chin: the scalpel blade has to move in the opposite direction of the hair's growth. It has to be a delicate and gentle motion,' said Willot.
After practising on large soldier ants, he found that a smaller worker ant could be entirely shaved in an hour of delicate work.
He estimates around 40 ants were shaved altogether to produce seven good examples for the experiments.
To what end, I wonder?
I feel like it has to be financially motivated and the only thing I can think of is they want users paying for premium directly rather than having it gifted from a different accounting bucket. But that doesn't seem like strong enough motivation on the surface.
I brush mine in the shower.
The youngest of the patients at Alcor is two-year-old Matheryn Naovaratpong, a Thai girl with brain cancer, who was cryopreserved in 2015, reports Reuters.
“Both her parents were doctors, and she had multiple brain surgeries,” More tells the publication. “Nothing worked, unfortunately. So, they contacted us.”
This is a bit chilling. How do you begin to move on with your lifeif you're holding out hope that your loved one will be revived one day? What happens to this girl's body once her parents die? What happens if they beat the odds and master cryo and the girl gets revived in 100 years? That sounds incredibly traumatic.
This article does a pretty good job of explaining why it's not a good thing.
I'm primarily a lurker. I've been trying to be better about participating lately because I'd like to help the fediverse grow and be a meaningful online meeting place.
Why are they collecting financial information??

When corporate entities infiltrate decentralized networks/platforms, they do it methodically with the intent to harm the decentralized platform in order to maintain the corporate monopoly.
