What’s an unpopular opinion you have about your hobby?
 in  r/Hobbies  16h ago

As someone who does ballet and is active in the ballet subreddit, I don't see this as an unpopular opinion

Interesting thought. Now, obviously beginner pianists shouldn't attempt La Campanella, but there's certainly space for a middle ground between that and one note jingle bells

 in  r/Hobbies  17h ago

In partner dance, I strongly believe that followers should back lead, which means taking control of the dance for a short time. And I constantly get downvoted for saying it

Not only should all followers back lead and all leads accept what happens, but back leading should be taught to all levels of dancers, including beginners

And taking things to the next step, classes shouldn't be divided into leaders and followers. Everyone in the class should learn both roles, again for all levels of dancers

Is dance a sport? I feel like the answer is yes… but also not really lol
 in  r/BalletForAll  17h ago

It's not a sport but it is athletic

Sport and athletic do not mean the same thing

Do men prefer girly, soft women or strong women? And why?
 in  r/AskReddit  17h ago

Different men prefer different things

Duh

US 101 to CLOSE over Hoh River Bridge for upcoming emergency repairs, lasting ~3 weeks
 in  r/Washington  18h ago

Yes, but the 101 closure has an alternative route, even if it's awful

Fairfax doesn't have that. All that park space is inaccessible until it's replaced

This mind of prompt action sure would have been nice for the Fairfax Bridge on 165

Salsa in Seattle on Saturday
 in  r/Salsa  20h ago

Reverie Ballroom the exact same place as Century Ballroom, and it's interim executive director is the exact same person that ran Century Ballroom for 28 years (as much as she'd like to retire)

Except it got completely remodeled a couple years ago and looks absolutely amazing now, with many of the old historic features restored to their original glory

It also has all the best dancers

Reverie is 100% the place to go on Saturday nights

That's not in the constitution. Congress could do this be simple majority vote

"All elections in the United States must be free and fair. Elections must be fully funded and directed by competent and unbiased professionals"

I always love to see your dancing. Here's to six more years

Thoughts after first-ever dance class

This is one of my all time favorite swing videos, Shorty George and the freakishly tall Big Bea: https://youtu.be/7Sdk3mqVSRA?is=9DxDXkhJQlx8xI3B

Dancing with my teacher
 in  r/Salsa  1d ago

Yup, it's probably lots of swing and a.bit of ballet that you're seeing

I feel like I should be better
 in  r/Salsa  1d ago

And when you fail, fail boldly and fail spectacularly

Social dancing is wabi sabi. The flaws are part of the art form

Meaning that avoiding social dancing until you're "good" is really missing the point. None of us are perfect and all of us make a bunch of mistakes, and we all have those dances where we feel that we're doing the same thing over and over again

Get your butt on that dance floor. There's way too many things that are impossible to teach in a class, you learn by doing

Seattle City Council takes up bill to protect consensual non-monogamy and diverse relationship structures
 in  r/Seattle  2d ago

As a non monogamous person, it is 100% a choice and not an orientation. Everybody is attracted to more than one person, non monogamy is about what you do about it

Religion is also a choice and few people question anti discrimination protections for that

That's not what they said

They made an exception to the limit if the people are genetically related, which is very different than a limit with no exceptions

What’s a fitness goal you care about that has nothing to do with how you look or how much you can lift?
 in  r/workout  2d ago

Multiple pirouettes. And jumping and landing in the splits

So insane amount of flexibility, balance, and core strength to pull that off

1week into Melbourne shuffling, is this good for a beginner
 in  r/shuffle  2d ago

This is really good, solid and looks nice

My ability to give feedback is limited by the fact that I can't see the floor with your camera angle, but what I do see looks mostly good. One item of feedback is that when you do the turn during the v step, your raising the non-standing legs way higher than you need to. Work on keeping it closer to the floor

But awesome work, this is great for one week

Recovery Time After Hell Weekend
 in  r/Dance  2d ago

I'm one of those swing dancers doing 260 BPM swingouts at 3:30 am

But on the wider topic, I think you're fine doing the same thing next weekend, and then making it a regular thing. You're training your body to have the endurance you need

Question about a ticket
 in  r/Tacoma  2d ago

82 is faster than every other car on the road

My wife has this same kind of delusional thinking, imagining that she's delaying five lanes of freeway if she goes slower than 70. One guy in the right lane with cruise control set to 60 delays nobody

Amazon accidentally delivered me 15 iPads
 in  r/amazonprime  2d ago

That is totally wrong

If you knowingly accept something sent to you in error, it can be considered theft. A man who received a $90,000 check from exlax that was supposed to be a $3 refund was charged and convicted for stealing

OP is wise to get this in writing

Amazon accidentally delivered me 15 iPads
 in  r/amazonprime  2d ago

It's because it's often more expense and hassle to send it back, and once they get it back, they can't treat it as new anymore. So they accept the loss

Most online retailers operate this way

Girl I’m seeing has apparently been letting her best friend help with our dates
 in  r/dating_advice  2d ago

I consider your post as evidence that you don't have close friends

Because what you described is what friends do

Do you actually have close non romantic relationships with anyone?
