[Discussion] need help naming a song based on the lyrics

I'm looking for something independent from the lyrical themes themselves so I'm not going to share them at this time but they are about missing a close friend I've lost contact with so much that I'm concerned I feel love for her moreso than friendship. Lines like "but these memories are so perfect." (Representing confusion in the context)

Any related words or small phrases I could title the song with? I prefer things to be a bit surreal and figurative if that helps specify.

String tension on fretless question

I am considering buying a Mexican fender jazz fretless that I played in a music store some time ago. When i played it it was set up beautifully in standard tuning. I want to tune it to flat tuning however, to play along with the two open E flat tunings I use on guitar.

My question is, will downtuning even this small amount have major effects on the setup of the bass? I'm concerned the drop in tension will affect tone and playability negatively, and using slightly thicker strings could also affect the setup.

Also, my current bass is medium scale and tuned to flat with standard gauge strings without any issues, so I've adjusted to lower tension than what's standard. Does a fretless need standard tension to have good, clear tone?

[M 18] I have questions like everyone else here.

I feel like all of my questions stem from sexuality, which makes them feel invalid to me. Like all my gender questions aren't important and are wrong because they aren't from a place of mental satisfaction but sexual satisfaction.

Socially, I am quite comfortable being male. I do guy things and like guy things and like many of the social aspects of being male, less pressure in many areas that cause me stress, while having more pressure in areas I'm comfortable with.

Sexually, I am so confused. Romantically I am not interested in men. Sexually and romantically I am into women and trans women who haven't removed the stuff (uncomfortable with many words rn sorry.) sexual attraction to men is a grey area for me right now. The *sexuality* stuff isn't really a problem, it's the gender stuff associated with it.

I really want to be adorable and feminine sexually. Not like, just crossdressing (which I do in private already,) but full on when I am turned on I want to look in the mirror and see a girl looking back at me. I don't understand this feeling and how to handle it. I want to remain male socially, but I can't have both and I feel unfulfilled because of it. And because it stems from sexual desire and not some place more genuine I feel like an awful person for even coming here to dump it on people when there are people who are questioning their gender for much more genuine reasons.

I'm going to go to bed and read any responses in the morning and probably delete this out of embarrassment.

Logged into my account on a friend's Xbox and got a security email super late.

Added my account on his Xbox to do two player on a game that doesn't support guest accounts, had to change my password cause I never use my Microsoft account for anything else. All went well and I got the code to create the new password swiftly via email.

Now it's a few hours later and I get an email confirming my account password changed but it has a different time of the change than when it happened.

I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but the email is very likely just late, and not a different password change as a result of someone getting into my account? I don't want to go to bed and wake up to find my credit card info has been stolen for hours or something.

Where did alternate sticker sheets come from?

I wasn't around for the original series, but when I'm shopping I see a lot of beys (mainly beys from the sg and magnecore releases) that have different stickers than the standard releases. Where did these stickers come from?

My main guess has been coro coro stuff, but then I'd have assumed that these alternate stickers would be more valuable but they're not, I've seen people on here talk about replacing the alternate ones with repro standard ones.

I just left the office from my cardiologist, I haven't gone to see anyone more specialized in that area yet so I can't say any severity or anything but what should I start looking into to prepare for that and well... the rest of my life? I'm not going to divulge very much of my medical history since I'm not looking for expert advice, just some guidance on the basic stuff to research and all before getting my professional advice at the next appointment.

I'm well aware that too many people just ask "what laptop do I need??!!?" and similar stuff but I'm not asking that, I promise it just sounds similar.

What specs do I need to keep in mind to buy a decent laptop or PC to run a daw? I didn't really interact with computers until I was like 16 so I know almost nothing about how all that works. Google searches are pulling up like 20 different jumbles of numbers and letters that I can't make sense of when I try to figure it out myself. I had an acer aspire something that was able to barely run pro tools for a while but the laptop is now super dead. I'd like a step up from that but I'm okay with a little lag, I'm used to it.

What are the most important specs to look for when shopping for a computer to run pro tools or Ableton or other standard daws?

I don't usually use many tracks or digital instruments I just need to plug in my interface and record five or six tracks with basic processing without the laptop cutting up my audio or crashing after only two hours.
