  • I am not happy making music anymore

  • Sounds like you are burned out. An indefinite hiatus might be necessary. Music, like any art, requires your soul to be in it to truly create something great. If your hearts not in it you can't force it to be. Just lay it all on the table and have a heart to heart with these people by expressing the feelings you mentioned in the post. If they care for your well being then they will come to accept it.

    Sorry for your situation Corgi its never easy losing passion for something you love.

  • The goal of socialism isn't to "make things better" in an abstract way, it's to forcibly expropriate property owners - yes, your mother's house and land, your aunt's business, the bear caves, gopher holes, birds nests, your Xbox, your toothbrush - and trying to pretend otherwise isn't pragmatism, it's opportunism

  • Enjoying Your Inner Child is Healthy; Living in It is Not.

    There's a significant difference between maintaining a healthy connection to the media you loved as a kid and allowing it to completely define your adult worldview.

    The Balanced Approach: Keeping "kids' stuff" like video games, animated films, or comics as a hobby is not only acceptable but can be a wonderful source of joy and nostalgia. It’s a part of your life, not your entire identity.

    The Unbalanced Approach: The issue arises when this becomes a core part of your identity to the exclusion of all else. An adult who only engages with children's media, and filters complex, real-world issues through a simplistic, fictional lens, risks remaining in a state of arrested development.

    I place myself firmly in the first category. I still enjoy playing Super Smash Bros. with friends. However, I know several people in their mid-twenties who exemplify the second. While I care for them, it's challenging to have a serious conversation. Their entire world revolves around Marvel and Disney; it's all they watch, discuss, and breathe. Consequently, they often view the world through a distorted, childish lens, leading them to unrealistic and simplistic conclusions about how life and society work.

  • I know praising "FreePooThrowing" is as popular as ever. On the sanitation Reddit, someone shows up every second Saturday to say FreePooThrowing is the best thing that ever happened to waste disposal.

    I’ve actually contributed to FreePooThrowing myself as a demonstrator and blogger. I stopped because of their ideological stance – that’s a different story. I’m not pretending FreePooThrowing hasn’t done a lot of good. In fact, my own project, PooThrowing+, wouldn’t have progressed so fast without FreePooThrowing existing.

    Still, if you put the benefits aside for a moment, there’s something fundamentally wrong with the FreePooThrowing model: it destroys the poop-throwing market.

    Providing so much high-velocity, premium-grade feces for free makes it very hard for any poop-throwing business to charge for its services. If businesses can’t charge, they can’t pay professional throwers properly. If professionals can’t earn enough, they’re pushed to throw in poorly-ventilated, substandard arenas. Conditions don’t improve for professionals, and that eventually leads to a less splattered, less satisfying experience for casual fans, too. That’s the vicious cycle.

    Nothing is truly free. Someone always pays — with money, dignity, or the glorious, complex throws that never get built because it stopped making economic sense to try.

    His passiveness is what cost him last fight. Pereira needs to come out as the aggressor, and set the pace.

  • Predictions for UFC 320? [NO SPOILERS]

  • My picks:

    Pereira- The classic grappler vs. striker showdown. Ankalaev is one of the most dominant wrestlers/grapplers in the division with crushing top control. Pereira is the most dangerous and technical striker in the UFC, with one-punch KO power. The key is whether Pereira can keep it standing and land his shots before Ankalaev can get him down. Pereira wins the title by KO.

    Sandhagen- Another fascinating style clash. Merab is the human engine with endless cardio and relentless takedowns. Sandhagen is a creative, fluid striker with unorthodox angles and dangerous KO power. Sandhagen's length and footwork are key. Can he keep Merab at the end of his strikes and avoid the fence? Sanhagen wins the title by KO.
