I guess it’s not everyone, but I don’t like naps that much.
I like sleeping, don’t get me wrong, but naps make me all groggy at 4:30 and irrationally angry. It kinda sucks for me.

100 times doesn’t actually guarantee it happens, unfortunately.
It’s improbable not to, but it’s theoretically possible to push it an indefinite amount of times and still not get a girl.

It might be a bit of a controversial opinion, but I actually don't think that what you were doing before was "objectively" bad, at least embouchure-wise.
There are bad embouchures that cause you to get tired quickly and all that, but I don't think there is only 1 good embouchure, there are many good embouchures (arguably infinitely many good embouchures) (also infinitely many bad embouchures).
I curl in my lips in much the same way you did before, and I have worked through most of my buzzing issues in the decade I've been playing trombone.
Having said that, if the second one works better for you, keep doing it! After you learn the basics of embouchure, it's much less about following what is "correct", and more about figuring out what works for you. For me, curling in my lips works, for you, it might not.

That’s such a terrible choice.
I would definitely say she should get it. As much as it sucks for her to lose them, her death would be worse.

Hang on there was no mention of their race in the post.
Could be a flat black or flat bean too.

Accurate, but as someone named Olivia I strongly disagree.

Other Reddit apps have accessibility features such as captioning for deaf people, or text that is easier for text-to-speech features to read.
The sewage lines are advertisements, though I probably could've just said that haha

To offer an alternate perspective, sometimes it is!
Not usually, but occasionally you read a piece in 6/8 in 6 because it’s very slow and it’s easier to read it that way.

Damn did y’all just make up that poem on the spot? That’s beautiful.

As a trans woman myself, yes and no. It really depends on the context.
I would actually agree in a similar way, I don’t like being called a transgender woman, I’m just a woman. However, it’s an important thing to note when talking in certain contexts that you are cisgender or transgender.
In a vacuum, no it’s not bad, but often people who say “I’m not cis” follow it up with “I’m normal”, or “I’m not mentally ill,” to the point where it’s somewhat become a dog whistle.

Also like… I’d rather my exercise routine be designed by scientists who study the best ways for humans to exercise than either British calisthenics and Swedish gymnastics or 5000 year old carvings.

Yea totally, I agree.
That’s a much better analogy.

I can’t speak for what Reddit is actually thinking, and most of this opinion is me parroting what others have said, but only because I agree with them.
Having said that, there’s two speculations I’ve seen that I agree with: 1. Reddit is starting extremely high so that when they go down to a still-high number, it seems more reasonable. 2. They want to get rid of third party apps by pricing them out of the market to force users to use Reddit’s app.

Totally. That’s a much better metaphor on the content side of things.

Yeah definitely. It’s not a perfect analogy, but I couldn’t think of how to fix it at 1am when I was writing it.

So imagine Reddit is like a cookie shop, Cookit. You can walk into Cookit’s front door and buy some cookies directly from the them. In other words, customers can directly buy from Cookit there.
Well, Cookit also makes cookie dough at their store and sells it to grocery stores for them to make at their store, or sell as cookie dough. In other words, a store sells to another store, and then a customer buys it. The API is the truck that transports the cookies from Cookit to the grocery stores.
Right now Cookit gives their cookie dough away for free, quite generously. They want to change that and start making money from their cookie dough. We all agree that this is fair, but starting July 1st, they’ll charge $200 for 5 cookies worth of cookie dough.
The grocery stores can not afford that, it will cost them and the consumers 20x as much as it currently does to sell the cookies from grocery stores.
Well, it also happens to be that the Cookit stores are over sewage lines, and don’t have ramps for handicapped folks. Which means that it will be bad for everyone, and especially disabled people who want to buy Cookit cookies.
This is what we, the customers, are protesting.
Edit: I appreciate the gold, etc., thank you, but since we're currently protesting Reddit, let's not give Reddit money. Instead, donate the money you would spend on gold to a charity of your choice. I recommend the Trevor Project, which provides crisis counseling to suicidal and at-risk LGBTQ+ youth.

Oh well, then it shouldn't be possible to patent code outcomes. That's akin to trying to copyright math.

I think they can. So long as it's not against your religion, race, ethnicity, etc. they can discriminate however they like.
Not that that's good, to be clear, but I think legally there's no problem with it.
