  • I'm getting to the point where I find conversations that boil down to "White Supremacy is bad" is getting really tiring. It's like a solved equation. Yes it's bad, but at a certain point we need to begin to think new thoughts. I just don't want to hear another PoC tell me that "and the reason why XYZ is bad, is because of racism" OF COURSE IT IS DUDE! WHAT THE FUCK NOW!?! WHAT DO WE DO? HOW DO WE MOVE PAST THIS IN SOME WAY?

    I guess i'm just tired of having racism explained to me. I feel like hades.

  • A clip of me practicing unclean vocals...

    I usually don't share clips of me doing any vocals because I'm not too confident in 'em, but I'm learning a lot. I teach myself everything I know musically, including songwriting, playing instruments, and vocals.

    This is the bridge of Metallica's song "Blackened," which isn't originally sung unclean because James Hetfield doesn't do unclean, but I think it works well in this style.

    I'm still trying to get used to my style of unclean vocals, but I really like the low, guttural sound I've learned to achieve.

  • Angel’s posts have inspired me to try and restart my journey into veganism. I was recommended a vegan diet by my doctor because of hereditary high cholesterol that’s been the cause of death for most of the men in my family. I started off okay but found it hard because I’m in a small rural town where beef is a huge part of life and the culture is still trying to understand vegetarianism, let alone Veganism. Seeing Angel’s posts have made me want to try again.

    I figure it’s worth a trip to the city for some ingredients I can’t grow myself or find locally. There’s also more options than I thought because I recently learned vegan options have become more common because of new mothers requesting them.

    • I'm glad to hear about my impact here. I really hope it goes well for you. If you need any assistance about food or even anything else (like clothing or hygiene), let me know.

  • I decided to give an admittedly somewhat rushed effort at properly mixing the first song I ever wrote.

    It's like a suite with 3 movements. I rewrote the first movement entirely. At first, it sounded a whole lot different, but I revised it because that was really the first full piece I ever wrote, and I thought it could've sounded so much better.

    This is it.

    • First Movement: 0:00 - 2:02
    • Second Movement: 2:03 - 5:09
    • Third Movement: 5:10 - 7:27

  • Latinoamerican tiktok is making fun of the spaniards for their reaction during their big blackout, like they were panic buying essencials, some went to the streets scared that they wont have light again calling it a "historical event" and doomsday posting a lot.

    it was really funny, specially since it lasted like 6 hours

  • Pretty wild seeing

    putting "I'm legally here" in their dating profiles.

    • I remember pre-BLM when White women used to have in their profiles "I'm not racist but I don't date Blacks or Mexicans, sorry, it's just cultural differences" then years later see the same profile floating around post-BLM and it was missing the disclaimer. Haha

      Like Paul Mooney said, I like my crackers a little salty. I prefer they just announce it, not that I'm interested in dating anyone White anyway.

      • Then they never question why they have these """"preferences."""" They'll say the same weasel shit about trans people, too. I do not understand how a person can reject entire groups like that.

        I don't mean to hornypost, but Tyra Banks, Hunter Schafer, Salma Hayek, Ana de Armas, Halle Berry, and Pam Grier are all hot. How the hell do you match with people like that and be all "Sorry not into ______" as though they're beneath you? You're on a fucking app you should consider yourself lucky to match with anyone lmao.

  • What up homies

    I'm hoping to get a job offer today... maybe I'm being too hopeful

    • Annnnnd of course they never called me even though they said they would. I shot a follow-up email. Maybe that's futile, but meh.

    • Other thread closed, but I was gonna ask if your local org has paid positions like canvassing? (I'm guessing you already looked into that). Or you could do wrecker shit in the local Democrat organization lmao.

      The other was if there's a temp agency where you're at. They're always looking for people to put on your payroll and you will get a lot of work just by not being a fuckup. A lot of the places I temp'd wanted to hire me after working for a week or more until I made the mistake of telling them I was going back to school in the fall.

      For comparison, I got called into one job at 10 AM after not getting the usual 6 AM call to assign work because the other temp didn't show up. Makes you look good for doing nothing when your colleagues are doing stuff like that.

      • I actually worked with some lib org that does canvassing but work was incredibly limited, and they continued to misgender even though they claimed trans acceptance. I got hired by one temp-to-hire position but they forgot to tell me that I need a driver's license to work with them and had to stop the onboarding in the middle of it... was really pissed.

  • More to that HR at that medical receptionist job giving me a hard time at my current job, apparently one of the decision makers that interviewed me thought it'd be precious to write a bad review (and I know it was her due to the content of the review), The patronizing horseshit to my face wasn't bad enough, the review was so bad management at my job posted in the breakroom by where you clock in. I knew this retail hell job was on limited time but yikes, so whenever someone naively asks what's the worst that can happen when you apply to a job well there's no limit to the badness that can happen.

    To make matters worse management thinks I'm not concerned about it and made comments about it to other workers, I may have anxiety especial the social kind, but I'm good at dissociating and looking stoic. I always wondered what my constant dissociating looked like to others, guess at least I learned it looks like 'calm', great to know. Just because I'm not bawling doesn't mean I don't feel anything, my other jobs you have a show of emotion or disability and its firing time. I think its like that with all jobs tbh.

  • The song so far

    It's gonna be a long one! When it is done, it might even surpass the track that is currently the longest which is 7:25. Right now, it being around the 5-minute mark gives me 37 minutes of debut album material.

    The structure of it right now is:

    • 0:00 to 2:12 is the long proggy instrumental intro.
    • 2:13 to 2:33 introduces the main theme of the song.
    • 2:34 to 2:51 is Verse 1.
    • 2:52 to 3:06 is the Chorus.
    • 3:07 to 3:22 is the Post-Chorus.
    • 3:23 to 3:41 is Verse 2.
    • 3:42 to 4:24 is a variation of the Chorus and Post-Chorus.
    • 4:25 is 4:57 is the backing track for the guitar solo I'm gonna write later.

    I was thinking of having it continue with some sort of bridge that brings back the instrumental intro, like the acoustic lick but in a chuggier fashion. I'm thinking more about how in "...And Justice For All" by Metallica, it starts off with a clean lick and then that same clean lick comes back in a chuggier form later in the song.

    After that, one more solo that uses the verse as the backing track instead of the chorus, one more chorus, and then an outro of some sorts.

    After this, I plan on writing 2 more tracks and I'll consider the debut album instrumentals written. One of those 2 tracks is gonna be rather short, like 2 and a half minutes.

  • Pokemon channel on yt started airing episodes in spanish, tuned in for a bit and it's solid. Even the songs were pretty good though hearing some of the english names of the pokemon said with a bit of an accent is goofy but love it all the same.
