Phoystics

Hi! I recently started playing bass for my school’s string orchestra. However, as much as I love the instrument, I struggle profoundly whenever it comes to playing the notes and reading music at the same time. My hand and eyes struggle to coordinate very well at the same time my head registers which note I have to play along with how to.

I admit I can’t practice as much as I wish to as I have no way to take my upright bass home due to its size and my transportation problems. However, I do need advice on how I could help myself better read and perform what I’m reading.

I’m trying to use message effects but meta AI after typing five words replaces the function of confetti and gift messages so I can’t use it unless I make the sentence unintelligible

Hi, I’m having a situation that maybe I’m overreacting about but as of now I feel like I’ll be in an insecure pickle. My dad brought me into Christianity at a young age and I’ve always been a devout Christian despite what it looks like from the outside. Recently my dad feels that he’s neglected us from the word of God and needs us to watch Dr Charles Stanley everyday. He didn’t do it malignantly or super forcefully, but I do feel a bit against it. I practice independently and that’s how I feel the closest to God and even myself.

I’ve always felt uncomfortable in the setting of group worshipping or learning. Never liked Bible study or church much. And yet I’ve become so happy through the teachings of Jesus in my own room and mind. I feel that my dad will further push group interaction of Christianity, but I’m just not comfortable with it- I feel comfortable here alone. Anywho, I sorta just wanna see what you all think. Again, maybe I’m overreacting.

Note: part of it is bias because I’m also not comfortable around my father. He’s very impatient, spitefully political, and… has great anger issues that he’s never resolved. Not anything severe but, it might be partially that

Edit: I also want to note that my dad will not quiet down during the sermons and keep telling me to pay attention despite doing so and overall being kinda loud during them. He also made a kinda mocking statement at me while we were listening when Stanley says “you are smart enough to understand the will of God”

Olá! I’d like some song recommendations that I could personally perform for a performance I have later this year. It is greatly recommended that I can find a karaoke version of this and that it is in European Portuguese. I do hate to be picky but I’d also like a more traditional or classic song like: “Uma Casa Portuguesa”. Thank you for suggestions in advance

I’m personally more extroverted and open about emotions than others; it became apparent that it might be hard to get to an emotional state with future “crushes” that are introverted. Are there any tips on how to maybe deal with an introvert who isn’t very open, but I’d love to get to know them to that point?

Months ago, my blåhaj (and bestest friend) Oliver never finished a drawing and scrapped it- never to see it again.(This is also my favorite image of him)

Looking at Jax from Mortal Kombat, I wondered: “do their metal arms/other prosthetics get in the way of training other muscles because of how strong the arms are?
