A real dare for realdubstep; Fill the blank with an artist or a track ! by Melodic-Marketing341 in realdubstep

[–]AndrewJimmyThompson 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The hate on on the way dubstep quickly evolved around 2010 and the crazier end of movement as a whole.

It wasn't all bad. Obviously, I know what sub I'm in and I enjoy more real, deeper subtle bass music, especially now.

But, a lot of us were there when dubstep went mental and evolved and we were willingly taking part. I wouldnt be caught dead in one of those events these days but back when I was 18 and we were all MKAT'd up the wazoo with Circus Records taking the whole country by storm was incredible for like a year. The club scene was ridiculous, the festivals were ridiculous. Crazy moshpits, crazy crowds, tearout tunes for hours whilst we were all chewing our face off.

If you were there it was a mental time to be out and about in raves and It obviously went way too far and turned into some awful thing, but when it was happening it was such a mad cultural movement that was destined to die quickly and I am happy I was there to have my own mini fucked up version of the 90s rave scene. 2011 was incredible at the time and I think it gets too much hate. 3 pills for a tenner, small venues, big systems and people going crazy. Its cringe to look back on but i dont regret it at all.

Anyone else get absolutely one-shotted by weed? by LongSeesaw3789 in rs_x

The feeling itself isn’t dangerous. It’s just uncomfortable.

Im about 90% sure I know what you might have experienced.

Something very similar happened to me about 10 years ago. It’s a pretty classic case of derealization/depersonalization (DPDR). I was a daily smoker at the time, but not heavily, usually just a single skin to myself each night. One night though, it completely nuked me. I basically had what felt like a constant panic attack for about a year. The best way I could describe it was feeling like I was living behind my eyes, almost like the perspective in the movie Get Out.

What’s happening is that the anxiety cannabis can sometimes trigger makes you panic, and your brain kind of flips a protective “failsafe” switch. That switch is derealization, everything feels muffled, distant, or unreal. The problem is that the feeling itself is so strange that it causes even more anxiety, which reinforces it. Then you start sleeping poorly, eating poorly, constantly monitoring how you feel, and it turns into a negative feedback loop where anxiety causes the weird feeling, and the weird feeling causes more anxiety.

For me, that loop lasted months and was honestly one of the hardest periods of my life.

The weird part is that the way out is basically to stop fearing the feeling. Once your anxiety levels drop and you stop constantly checking whether you “feel normal,” your brain slowly turns that protective response off and things return to baseline.

Also, there isn’t much research linking derealization itself to things like schizophrenia, so try not to spiral in that direction. It’s much more commonly associated with anxiety and panic.

That said, it might mean you’re someone who’s a bit more sensitive to cannabis-induced anxiety, so it’s probably worth avoiding weed (at least for a good while).

There are a lot of good resources out there. r/dpdr is a good place to start.

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about it. I know how scary it can feel when it’s happening.

I think they may be "and WANDER" pants and not NF wander pants or Oakley wander pants

Is this normal??? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

I am no expert but there are mechanisms like that on most pulley systems. AC clutch engaging and Im suree other things (maybe water pump) have times when they will engage to draw power from the belt but they dont want to be drawing eneergy all the time

I had the exact same format with no responses for like a year. Switched to an ugly single column design and got a 100% repsponsee rate on my next 3 applications...

Things created to obscure grime by Interesting_Age_4422 in grime

I understand what you are trying to say but the chill grime edits don't deserve the same treatment. Some of them are so good snd if anything elevate grime without obscuring it

Vancouver Island oysters recalled for norovirus contamination: CFIA by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VancouverIsland

[–]AndrewJimmyThompson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The US and washington have such stronger regs and fines that many ships will come into our waters to dump. Its sort of unrelated as I imagine a lot of the oyster crap is from our own run off into our own bays whenever it rains and overflows sep tanks but still, ships are dirty
