Yes it’s difficult there is no one size fits all advice for these situations as there are always a million of variables which is why you need to trust your heart I suppose

I love synthesizers, all sorts of music (mostly electronic), b/cult movies, science fiction, DIY, graphics design, PC hardware, retro computing (Commodore <3), cooking, singing. I’m truly sorry to anyone I have unintentionally hurt in my confusion about my identity. Love and light. Sorry I can’t talk like a normal human being btw, I’m trying.
Here’s some of my music, grateful if you’d give it a listen: https://etherphon.bandcamp.com/

The stuff up there right now is a tad old, but it is some music that deals with my struggles with my realizations about my sexuality and gender, thus some of it is a little difficult and discordant. I’m working on some more joyous music. It’s 100% hardware based (synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, effects), no computer, DAW or AI involved in recording.

Yeah that’s true, I suppose I mean to face it instead of avoiding situations where it could occur


Sad but true, so the better equipped we are to deal with it healthier we will be


It’s always a tough situation since rejection can hurt a lot, but at the same time if you never tried at all you may never know. So I think it’s worth it to pursue your desire in almost every (romantic) situation if you believe your feelings are true, because the unknown can haunt you for a much longer time
I’m noticing a lot of comics I used to enjoy I now find pretty depressing, self-defeating and conformist, huh


I’m so glad I never pursued Oracle DB as a career, I was considering it at one point in the early 2000s, even went to school. I would have been making a good $100k+ a year instead of struggling along, but at least I still have a soul :P


stealing IP’ is the weakest one in my opinion
Tell that to all the artists who are finding themselves in the training data, a lot of musicians are now finding themselves in those data. Calling it stealing IP is a bit of a misnomer, since that only really cares about the copyright holders, they are outright stealing culture from us


Well now I just can’t get out of my head the picture of a Red Lobster fleet of pirate ships invading Greenland shouting “When we say endless we mean it” and that’s completely fucking ridiculous but I guess that’s what’s happening? I have to say that’s really Long John Silvers territory


Isn’t that just bonkers? You can barely get a meal anywhere for two people under $50 now, I don’t make that kind of money either and never did, that’s groceries for half a week at the very least.


I’m sure this is partially what these ID laws are about, they know their product is harmful to not just kids but EVERYONE, but they don’t want EVERYONE to stop using it, so what’s the answer? Ban the kids


Nice :) I’m also a big fan of the new natural lawns people are doing, yes the supermarket is a nightmare now, they have reduced the choices a lot, upped the prices, the quality is not consistent at all, half the times the produce or item I want is out. These are all things they told us would happen under communism lol
Yes that is perfect, and honestly the more worthwhile and rewarding experiences are to be had without stuff; sing to yourself everyday, see what the chipmunks are doing today, read a little, find some new recipes, play a little music. All things that slow the frenzied pace of modern life down a few notches :)


True enough, I am just hopeful that will catch on more and more I suppose, people are capable of doing so much but somehow they’ve offloaded all the good stuff little by little. I am pro people and I refuse to believe that is not a winning strategy for taking our lives back


I don’t know about you folks but I am just tired of this whole business, I do not really need any new products for anything anymore, most of the food I buy are raw ingredients to prepare meals and snacks myself because these companies have shown us time and time again they cannot be trusted. I will not watch your ads, I will not buy your products, I will not listen to your bullshit corporate promises because you just keep lying to us about everything, so go fuck yourselves


How about just fix your god damn product so people won’t constantly sue you? Business nowadays is just completely asinine


are they really that elite if they have to pay people to talk to them? idk
That sounds like exactly my experience actually, originally I had joined for a single purpose server but when I lost interest in that thing, the general servers for example twitch streamers or just general severs I didn’t have the best experience, but I also was a different person so maybe it might be better today who knows. I did get tempted to re install it to join to audio and music making focused communities but after all the headlines lately I don’t think it’s worth it
