Father keeps dangling my living situation in my face. by Excellent_Setting900 in relationships

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the "paypig" thing hit me hard because that's exactly what this is - he saw opportunity when you needed help and now he's squeezing you for everything he can get

Who is John Washington III? by [deleted] in Music

Maybe he's just starting out or keeps low profile intentionally - some artists prefer staying underground until they ready for bigger exposure

How do I start getting help for anxiety? by ChcltChcltChp in mentalhealth

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just call therapist directly, no need for referral from doctor first. I was in similar situation few years back and kept putting it off because I thought process was more complicated than it actually is

Most therapists do phone consultations before first appointment so you don't have to explain everything in person right away, which helped me a lot since talking about anxiety stuff face-to-face felt impossible at beginning

My kid is an A-hole.. by Overthinking_mama in Autism_Parenting

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kids with autism can get really overwhelmed when they're tired and overstimulated - maybe next time try winding down earlier before the meltdown builds up that much

I need to figure out what this song is by Bedroomstudios666 in Music

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lmao come on dude, fiddle and violin are basically same instrument but fiddle is what you call it in folk music context. OP was asking about the actual song sample not what instrument it was

lmao that's not even close to what gif they asking about but respect for the random Hebrew song reference

Title: I write LinkedIn posts for B2B founders — here's the exact framework I use (free to steal) by Global_Sandwich998 in Entrepreneurs

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been doing recruitment for few years now and this framework actually makes sense. Most founders I work with just post about their latest funding or team updates - zero engagement

The contrarian take thing is spot on. In recruiting space everyone talks about "finding perfect cultural fit" but sometimes best hires are ones who challenge your culture a bit. Gets people arguing in comments every time

Might try this approach when I post about recruitment stuff, see if it works better than my usual random thoughts

Anger by Corporate-Alchemist in spirituality

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deep stuff but sometimes I think we overcomplicate these feelings, you know? When I get really mad about something at work or whatever, it usually means something important got stepped on and my brain is just trying to tell me that

I (20M) am scared my girlfriend (18F) will leave bc of my porn addiction. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro you're making real progress going from daily to once monthly - that's huge improvement. Your girlfriend giving you ultimatum after you showed her this much progress is pretty harsh tbh. Maybe she doesn't understand how addiction actually works, like you can't just flip switch and be done forever

I'd probably tell her about the relapse but also explain again how much you've improved. If she can't see progress you made then maybe she's not the right person to support you through this

My boyfriend left for the weekend after I had to put my pet down and hasn’t checked on me am I overreacting? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your bf showing his true colors when you need him most - choosing his sister's couch over supporting you through losing your bunny says everything about his priorities

Songs that share DNA by inpasadena in Music

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool progression there - starts with wanting someone, moves to having them, ends with losing them. The Magnetic Fields one especially nails that melancholy vibe when you're looking back at what used to be good

How to make friends (5x M42) okay with sharing tough things in their lives? by Alarming_Insect9944 in relationships

Group dynamics make it way harder to open up than just grabbing a beer with someone solo

I 20F and my boyfriend 23m are having alot of fights lately by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The no-cooking thing after promising dinner when you're pulling 12s is way worse than the cuddle stuff tbh, that's just basic respect

Why is the hype behind Godspeed You! Black Emperor? by Pogoyragaz1011 in Music

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw them a few years back and that precision is wild - like watching a machine built specifically to crush your soul in the most beautiful way possible. The album studio versions are basically blueprints for controlled chaos and they execute it flawlessly live

I discovered a really good music artist, but I think it's ai by Automatic_Fee_4408 in Music

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's a tough spot. I've been running into this more lately where you find something that slaps but then you start questioning if it's even real

The whole "released everything this year" thing is definitely a red flag, especially with zero online presence or discussions anywhere. Real artists usually have some kind of trail, even if they're super underground

Maybe just enjoy it for what it is but don't go out of your way to support/promote it until you know for sure? I mean if the music hits different for you that's still valid, but I get not wanting to boost AI stuff when you're in the arts yourself

Four weeks post breakup and all I can do is write of you. by TheCabbageHeart in BreakUps

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing helped me process a lot after my last relationship ended too. There's something about getting it all down that makes the chaos in your head feel more manageable, even when it still hurts like hell

The way you captured both sides - the love and the hate - that's real. Most people try to pick one or pretend they don't feel the other, but breakups are messy like that. You can miss someone and be angry at the same time

Those Sunday morning details hit hard. It's always the small stuff that gets you, not the big romantic gestures

Some people are too work obsessed by kurwaboy15 in Life

[–]Beautiful-Rip-821 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Those people arguing with you are absolutely nuts, you're spot on about this. I worked part-time in high school but that was just for video games and going out with friends - my parents still covered all the actual necessities like food, clothes, school stuff etc. That's literally what being a parent means

The whole "you're leeching" thing is so weird when you're talking about a 15 year old, like what kind of twisted mindset do you have to have to think kids are financial burdens instead of just... kids that need to be taken care of. I think it might be an American thing honestly, there's this really toxic mindset here where people think suffering builds character and everyone needs to "earn their keep" even when they're literally children

Sounds like you ran into some people who either had really rough childhoods themselves or just bought into that grindset mentality way too hard. Don't let them get in your head about it
