I can't help feeling bad for all the abandoned pianos out there. Such a wonderful instrument requiring complex construction, hobbled by its lack of portability.
I honestly think the kid is borderline mentally challenged and being used as a prop. In a more fair & just society, he would've been institutionalized away from the public eye for a number of years until he was able to accept responsibility for his poor choices and have a legit second chance doing something low-profile.
Anecdotal, but I was delusional for a long while after a really strong trip around age 18 or 19, and I'd say it was at least a week before I was close to presenting as 'normal' on the surface, and several months to a year before I had mostly worked through it internally. I had come to believe that there were certain kinds of telepathy and that government agencies like the CIA were collaborating with demons/aliens to use them in experiments on party kids and pulling some of them into 'the system' to perpetuate some kind of hidden mental control over the populace for unclear reasons.
So many adults give exactly the wrong responses to teenagers struggling to express what they're going through. A lot of teachers (probably especially in math) are kind of locked into "instruction mode", so when a kid comes to them with issues, the natural response is to attempt to 'instruct' them about how to 'improve' their behavior.
I dunno, that's such a surface level concept. That's almost as shallow as basing off looks alone. I get excited by being with someone that can challenge me or at least have discussions. I spent 17 years being married to a hippy. It wasn't or philosophical or political ideals that ended our marriage.
I appreciate you trying to explain your perspective, and I also believe downvotes should be reserved for comments that don't contribute to the discussion (not simply anything the hive mind doesn't find palatable). Unfortunately the reddit masses have been abusing downvotes for years now and it looks like it's only going to keep getting worse.
This comment is funny as shit, but after thinking about it, honestly I'd somewhat wonder if maybe for some people exercising would make them more likely to carry out an evil plan because it temporarily increased their baseline energy and motivation levels.
It's possible some people don't produce or metabolize them the same way, or aren't as conscious of the effects. I didn't start consciously noticing it much until I was in my 20s.
I will absolutely skip/remove/downvote most songs with overly repetitive lyrics. It's a pet peeve, I highly value skilled wordsmiths and find repeated phrases distracting.
Guess what mainly happens is, someone on my TL quote tweets about zoophiles, or talks about it, and usually out of curiosity I look it up or engage because despite how gross and weird it is, I always be curious if those mfs actually exist.
There is a shit ton of 'sound-alike' music out there now, in multiple genres, and the roots of it go back far before modern AI tools existed. The main reason is that it's just way cheaper.
True, but this song had the distinctly tinny-metallic sound of something that wasn't made by a human. It seemed to go on forever or maybe loop back into itself.
"Of the estimated 4,970 female victims of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter in 2021, data reported by law enforcement agencies indicate that 34% were killed by an intimate partner. By comparison, about 6% of the 17,970 males murdered that year were victims of intimate partner homicide."
Hope, cope and rope... These are humanity's only choices really... Religious addicts are addicted to "hope"... their drug of choice. Religious folks high on "hope" want you to validate their drug and love to demonize the "cope" strategy I notice. Addiction would be a cope strategy.
Anyone with a spoon can tell within seconds. If you hit a solig piece of hold it'll make a distinct sound that is the exact same every time and can easily be measured and controlled even with your phone.
I agree with you in principle. However, I have seen regulatory overreach, and government officials with an axe to grind who have basically zero accountability going completely off the map looking for 'violations' that would never have been an issue if they were auditing a larger organization. Then that same auditor will come back a couple years later and do it again. Legalized harassment.
I mean, seriously, what kind of question is this? I get it, but to me it's like, if you haven't ever been moved to tears by music past age 19 I'm going to be worried about and/or distrustful of you until I can pick up more clues about why.
Tori Amos is probably unparalleled in the 'artists who can make me cry' arena, especially on the earlier albums. Gut punches everywhere. All the same, I'm also glad she grew beyond that as an artist, and how her newer music reflects healing and stability more.
This is part of the premise behind ACAB. In any precinct where all the 'good cops' are turning a blind eye to what the bad cops are doing, there are actually no good cops in that precinct.
I am part of Gen X, came of age during the grunge era...and I always thought Cobain was overrated and revered too much, in a similar way that I think 2Pac was revered too much. Cobain was an addict, a shitty husband, and a shitty father. He killed himself with a shotgun and left himself in a terrible condition for somebody else to find days later. It was shocking when he died, but I grew to like him even less because of how he died. He didn't accidentally OD like Farley or others, he wasn't shot by his wife like Phil Hartman, he ended himself with a fucking shotgun.
Resonating with this bigtime. The ways Nirvana altered mass culture wouldn't have happened without Kurt, but it was inherently self-effacing and nihilistic. I think even he would've agreed it was more of a canary in a coal mine situation than a recommended path to follow.
I mentally give major cred points to anyone I find out did it in the 90s or earlier (my partner is one of them). It was not considered 'cool' at all back then by the vast majority of people.
Haha, I can appreciate that. There's definitely been a lot of discussion about how the two fields relate to each other and where they overlap. I tend to think of anthro as being about the history of things and soc about more modern contexts but I know that isn't exactly accurate either.
They probably live in a shitty state or some awful town.
Once upon a time in the 90s, I paid $50 a week for rent. That was really low even for back then.

How often does someone eventually recover?
Anecdotal, but I was delusional for a long while after a really strong trip around age 18 or 19, and I'd say it was at least a week before I was close to presenting as 'normal' on the surface, and several months to a year before I had mostly worked through it internally.

Are we letting kids into this sub now or what's actually happening?
I downvoted it before I even opened the thread.
Why do we keep reading “we own a big share of this business but we’ve never seen the financial accounts”??
Yeah, this is business 101 stuff. As we know, though, tons of small biz people only learn some of that the hard way.

Exercising gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, and happy people just don’t shoot their husbands.
This comment is funny as shit, but after thinking about it, honestly I'd somewhat wonder if maybe for some people exercising would make them more likely to carry out an evil plan because it temporarily increased their baseline energy and motivation levels.
What are these "endorphins" people speak of? Because whenever I exercise I don't get any happy nor pleasant feelings.

I was on hold with customer service for 20 minutes today. The whole time, they played this song that was almost Free Bird. It was very strange.

Now that is interesting, then. The only AI music I've run into so far is from people putting up clearly labeled stuff, like "my tweaked AI made this".
Women would throw a whole lot of tantrum but would never accept accountability
Yeah, it's so great how no men would never do that. Only ever women, right? GTFO with your bullshit
Women tends to show this behaviour far more than the men. GTFO with your ignorance

For some of us, embracing suffering is necessary to survive it.

The real TIL right here
“All of the people that keep everything running and make sure people aren’t abusing the system should be abolished”

Yes. Many many times.

Like the entirety of "Bells for Her" by Tori Amos.
Tori Amos is probably unparalleled in the 'artists who can make me cry' arena, especially on the earlier albums. Gut punches everywhere. All the same, I'm also glad she grew beyond that as an artist, and how her newer music reflects healing and stability more.
I'm always a bit disappointed when people make assumptions or imply judgments with the way they phrase things, too, whether it's intentional or not.
Corrupted cloud save maybe?
Am very suspicious of this post. Your history tells you started a tech company, clothing brand and now e-com agency.
Not to mention it's been 10+ hours now and OP has never replied or even bothered to fix their double-paste error.
Drop a little John Stuart Mill in response

Fair point. I guess some of my bias is because of talking with multiple suicidal people and having been one myself.
And it was peak nerdy to do this, not the norm.
