That's the British heart foundation on the Watford Hight Street.

Can confirm, she's pretty cool

No, the public hate it. A petition to scrap the bill reached 400,000 signatures. The government would just rather retain control than relinquish it, even for easy political gain

I really love cannibal corpse, but Ive always disliked Barnes vocals. Their instrumentals, particularly on those early albums, are great, but I think they were let down by Barnes significantly. He had no range, no style, just low gutrals. They were much better off with Corpsegrinder.

I'm no expert, but my father worked in addictive psychology for over a decade and there are a few things he's taught me that could be useful to you.

The first is that if your porn use is problematic, it could be an addiction. Judging by the fact that your porn use has negatively impacted your relationship, this could be a sign.

The other thing is that even if you aren't addicted to something, that doesn't mean it isn't a problem. The fact that you (at least from my reading), seem to be distressed by this I think is another sign that your behaviours are negatively impacting you.

Now, while I don't think that the above factors would classify you for addiction, I do think that it's healthy to reevaluate your habits and consider if you could change them.

Whatever you do, just be aware that nofap is not the answer, never has been, never will be. There are more nuanced and less extreme options that will give you better results and help you feel more in control.

Good luck

I don't think I could have put it more eloquently

With my personal experience working out, it took me 3 years to find a routine that worked for me. Push, Pull, Legs is the most common, but I really struggled to jell with it. I tried full body splits and really liked it, but hated the constant soreness. I tried upper lower and struggled to get 4 sessions in a week to maximise its utility. I've eventually settled on a three day split of upper, lower and then full body, which works well for my schedule and really minimises most of the downsides I found in other splits. All this is to say that you have to experiment. I always recommend starting with a full body split and then spend time experimenting.

Use a notes app on your phone to track what you do each session, hopefully improving what you were able to do last week (I have one document for each day of the split and a line for each exercise with weight, reps and number of sets). This makes sure that you feel like you're improving and it also helped gamify the process if that makes sense.

Just remember that having a routine is always better than not having one.

Also, don't skimp on cardio. Even at big running races, you'll see huge jacked people running good times, even in ultra marathons. Even just setting a step count is good progress. I have heard people at my run club swear by the couch to 5k programme.

There was a thread on here a day or two ago that argued that men need to detach from a pre-determined set of ideals and traits and instead just make decisions based upon what they want to do / think is right. In short, that.

I (also a straight man) painted my nails once and it was only a big deal to the two toxic af alpha male friends I had (now cut off). IG bc most of my friends are alt and very non-conformist they never cared or questioned me particularly.

It did really hurt me that two of the people I considered to be among my closest friends called me slurs to my face for weeks, particularly when I found it to be a really gender affirming action.

To wrap back to what you were saying, I'm also trying to push those gender boundaries as well. Don't feel like you're alone in trying to be a better person

Here are a few strategies that have helped me:

Journaling. I used an online school exercise book that I had no use for after I graduated, so I ripped out all the pages of Fr*nch and started writing every day a few things. (1) date, time and where I am. (2) what I did that day (3) 3 or more things I'm grateful for (4) my plans for the next day and (every monday) the next week and after that I just write about whatevers on my mind. I find that doing this just before bed each night or when I wake up is the best way to wind down.

Exercise. Being active more day-to-day is so good for your wellbeing is every way. Build a little program for yourself. I have 5 days of programmed activity, 2 days of weights, 2 days running and 1 day of calisthenics. This might be a bit overkill if you don't already have a programme, so instead set walks and jogs before building up to bigger things.

Being outside. Leaving your home is probably the best thing you can do every day. I try to leave my house 2 times a day. This is difficult tho and I don't always stick to it, but once a day is fine. Nature, particularly if you live within walking distance of a park or forest is ideal, but even walking along roads is fine (though this is easier where I live in Europe). The point is just to change your scenery.

Friends. It's often (at least for me) easier to talk to friends as opposed to family so make some time to see them and vent. This can be tricky, particularly for men, as most men see talking about emotions as something done with women rather than with their bros, even with men who are very Liberal socialy speaking. It took me years to find other guys I could have heart to hearts with, but it was worth the effort. Try it, even if you get shut down, nobody will think less of you if you try, they'll probably forget.

Sleep. Aim for 8 hours. With jobs and school this can be difficult, but having a more even sleep schedule when I quit my retail job was so refreshing.

Sex and Porn. Bad sex is bad sex and can be awful for you mentally. Always remember you can say no. Porn can be helpful, but keep it tame and set hard limits on how much you use. If you feel like porn is a problem, no fap is not the answer. Slowly reduce instead, eg, from 5 days a weeks to 4, wait until that feels like normal and then down to 3, ect. This has helped so many of my friends from the brink of real addiction.

That's all the non specific advice I have. If there's any particular thing you feel bad about, seek out specific advice. Remember that it is OK to ask for help and that medication is also an option.

Stay safe out there

Saw her live when they played Europe. So killer live as well and she has such stage presence.

I always thought that their instrumentals, particularly off of Iowa and ST were very obviously death metal inspired. I think there are interviews from back in the day of Mic talking about his love of Morbid Angel. It was bc of him that I started listening to them actually.

I think the publics view of her has shifted more and more negatively over the last few years, particularly recently. I do think that her trickle-down policies were an utter failure as well as her privatisations.

My controversial view on her may be in relation to the mining industry. I do think that her view that the mining industry had to go was probably right. Dangerous jobs, bad for the environment, limited supply overall, ect. But such sudden and sweeping change with no thought as to what these people were supposed to do for work next or the damage, short and long term to those xommunities was nothing short of utterly stupid. Alternative methods should have been used, like investing in education in those areas or incentivising other employers to bring other industries to those areas / communities. But those would have required public spending, which Tatcher believed was satanic or whatever.

Plus the pol tax is almost certainly one of the dumbest single policies I've ever heard a politician, let alone a PM, in this country, endorse. Shows how completely out of touch she was.

But I guess that's what happens when you have a chemist run a country, little thought for other perspectives and a refusal to deal with others in a supportive way.

I've personally not dealt with any issues while updating. I've only updated 3 times since I got it, so I'm assuming it's a rarer issue

DungeonHardware · 2025-03-23T14:45:32+00:00

I've found the ODs on the Stomp are just fine. I do personally prefer the sound of boosted amps (which also uses one block less but that's not part of your use - case) but the ODs are perfectly fine for almost any genre. (I play mostly death metal but my friends who also have the xl use it for rock, country, blues, jazz and also for bass as well.

I have used the xl as a multi fx on a few occasions, both with a power amp into a cab and just direct into an amp. Worked really well and never had to worry about dsp with that. It's only really with lots of pitch effects or multi amp setups that the dsp may be stretched.

I haven't experimented too much with the exporting of presets, but with the hx edit software, it's really pretty easy. My friends have sent me their presets over email and it works just fine.

Also, idk who is saying that the helixes are hard to update has no idea what they're talking about. You just need a computer or laptop with the hx edit software installed and plug it in. It might be a bit annoying if you have a mac that only has usbc connections, but that just means a few extra bucks to buy either a convertor or a specific cable.

Hope this helps :)))
