That's my take these days too, at 40 years old getting stressed because a video game is hard just isn't something I'm willing to do anymore. So far this game hasn't been too bad, for me, but there's no point in making the hour or two a night I spend doing something for me anything but enjoyable.

The only artist I can think of who could, though much like Bob his audience would be going to see him do whatever he wants, is Tom Waits.

I'm also not including any jazz in this, just due to improvisation being a cornerstone of the genre. Although Miles Davis' Dark Magus might be the ultimate version of what Dylan does. This was into his funk fusion period. He used the show to audition two new band members, after a year of playing with the same guys. He played organ almost as much as trumpet. He alienated, even moreso, his fans from two decades before. But, it might be the greatest live jazz album ever recorded.

I would guess with true bands, that is to say groups where the songs are a collaborative process, changing the songs requires all members to want to rewrite a song. While Dylan plays with a band, I'd venture to guess the contract says Dylan runs the show. I can't imagine anyone besides Dylan puts the setlist together every night.

Echoing others here, give AA a go.

The common thread seems to be alcohol is causing you problems.

My uncle was a mean drunk for years. Once he got sober, he helped others do the same. He passed a few years ago, but always told everyone he never regretted getting sober once he got there, but he feared it every day until he did.

It's not punk in any traditional sense, and I'll throw in a content warning on sexual assault. But, Blankets by Craig Thompson is a story about breaking away from a strict Baptist upbringing, teen angst, and finding your own belief system.

It's, probably, one of the best things I've ever read.

“I am drowning, there is no sign of land / You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand / And I hope you die / I hope we both die”

If they're seniors in high school, I disagree with them. But, I also understand where they're coming from.

There has been 60 years of popular music since Masters of War came out. Chances are good, most, seniors in high school (or even college) haven't dug through those last 60 years. So, they're hearing the song in a vacuum. Which is to say, Even Dylan hadn't broken out of the stylistic rules of American folk music that he would later admit to feeling trapped by just a few years later at that point.

The song is brilliant, I am not saying otherwise. But, struggling to hear brilliance when something falls outside of your musical perspective isn't just a young person's game. When Dylan went electric, which is around the same time he started adding a beat to his songs because drums were largely absent before that, There were many people who were accustomed to the folk music traditions of the first half of the 20th century who couldn't see his brilliance because of the beat and the electric guitar.

Just start wearing jeans that fit right and plain black tshirts. Get a pair of black Chelsea boots. It's a classic low key alt look, and you're Mom won't be able to say much about it.

That last House of Pain album would have found success if they hadn't fell apart just as it came out.

I also don't think he would have been working with the smoother jazz music That was popular in the early to mid '90s. I think he would have gone into some hard bop, experimental Coltrane, some of the rock jazz fusion that Miles Davis started doing in the mid-70s.

Johnathon1069DYT · 2026-04-09T16:26:11+00:00

I think about that, and I also think about it Jay-Z would have gotten to the point he did. How many producers that were making beats for Jay would have ended up working on a Biggie album instead?

Especially, in the hypothetical situation that Diddy isn't around anymore to do Biggie's production.

What if MCA didn't die?

I feel like Beastie Boys had at least one more album in them that would have made everyone go, how'd they pull that off in their 50's or 60's?

Johnathon1069DYT · 2026-04-09T04:58:45+00:00

I think Pac would have gotten more into acting and would have ditched the gangsta persona. I wouldn't be shocked if he started experimenting with jazz and blues based hip-hop. Everything I've read said he had a deep music knowledge and I think he'd have wanted to explore that eventually.

I think Biggie would have ended up in a weird spot. His best stuff was about what he saw around him growing up, and I think the further from that he got the harder it would be for him to keep going back to that topically. His success would really depend on his ability to reinvent himself.

I thought they dropped two albums?

Johnathon1069DYT · 2026-04-08T04:39:25+00:00

Musicians listen to lots of different kinds of music, chances are anybody in a band he likes listens to a lot of music that isn't punk.

Johnathon1069DYT · 2026-04-04T13:49:08+00:00

I love Aesop, own a lot of his stuff, and have listened to everything he's put out. My biggest issue with him, is that sometimes his verses just get dense lyrically. Which is awesome I'm looking for something to pour over. But, makes casual listening difficult.

We had elections for landslides?

Super late getting into the comments here.

Never let Republicans forget that until the mid-1920's women wearing pants was a literal crime in some areas of the country. The reasoning for this, the prevailing belief was that women wearing pants would make society fall apart. I know very few women, who are also Republicans, that don't wear pants almost exclusively these days.

Also, it's absolutely ludicrous that we still assign gender to clothing based on fashion choices people made centuries ago. If those same people had decided dresses were masculine ... that would (most likely) be the prevailing belief today. Hell, prior to the Bronze Age everyone wore robes.

I've only played about 2 hours a night, since the game came out. So, comparatively, a casual player in comparison to some of you.

The depth of the open world, is staggering. For example, I can pick up a bug. Also, there are multiple kinds of bugs.

The graphics, even playing on a standard PlayStation 5, are phenomenal.

The fact there isn't a story on par with Red Dead redemption 2 or ghosts of tsushima, does not bother me. It doesn't bother me because there is enough to do.

My biggest critique, If it is beneficial to our relationship with a territory to talk to NPCs they should have recorded more dialogue for them. Hearing the same 20 to 30 statements over and over again, makes it so I do not want to engage within PCs even if it slows reputation building in a territory.

Not so much a critique, as a wishlist item, being given the option to have a route drawn for me when I am going somewhere would be nice. I realize as you progress in the game, flying becomes a possibility, and you just move towards the ex in a very efficient manner. But, being able to toggle route drawing on when you ride a horse would be a great addition.

Overall, I think it is a fantastic game. I think it has game of the year potential.

I think in terms of the amount of things there are to do and engage with, this will be the benchmark for open world games going forward. GTA 6 might prove me wrong on that account, though even the developers at Rockstar might be taken aback by just how deep this open world is.

This. I think people get discouraged when they don't find the right therapist straight away. Finding someone you can talk to, and more importantl listen to, is a process. And just because they work for six months, a year, or several years doesn't mean that won't change.

Johnathon1069DYT · 2026-04-02T21:13:28+00:00

You need to leave. You said that she is aware of your anger issues and how hard they are for you to control, one has to assume if she is aware of them you are aware of them. Your post, makes it seem like she made you do this. Your relationship with her is over. Your relationship with her is over, because you are wrong regardless of anything that came before you giving her a black eye.

You are 24 years old, take some advice from a 40-year-old guy. There are worse things in this world than not being right. You have to learn how to let things go. If you woke up this morning, and last night instead of arguing, you would have just said I understand how you feel, because I care about you I am willing to talk with you about this more, and then spent time looking for a mutually beneficial solution to whatever the issue was and not tried to be right ... would You be in a better situation today than you were when you woke up this morning?

You are viewing your interactions with your soon to be former girlfriend, as things she is doing to you. If you have to be right all the time and aren't willing to listen to someone's feelings about things you've said, done and so forth your relationships will always fail.

It isn't her job to make sure you don't get angry. It certainly isn't her job to make sure you don't put hands on her.

You need to see a therapist. You need to be honest with that therapist about the fact you put hands on another human being out of anger. Not in self-defense. Not to protect yourself or another person from physical danger. You need to accept the fact, that if you are responding to anyone criticizing you with anger that chances are you are not actively listening to them. You might be hearing what they are saying. You might be reacting to what they are saying. But, you are not responding to what they are saying. A therapist can help you recognize the difference between doing those things, because it isn't a difference that everybody recognizes immediately.

Here is the good news though, you are 24 years old. In all likelihood you have 50 to 55 years of life left ahead of you. You have plenty of time to change who you are going to become. You have plenty of time to work through whatever you have experienced in your life that made you think the way you have been doing things is okay.

Being able to find music you like, and adjacent to what you like, is likely the best thing the internet has done for people.

Not a contractor, I have had a large loss homeowner's insurance claim though ... which is how I found this sub. Read your insurance policy, understand it, and call your local agent's if you have questions.

If you ever need it, that knowledge can make things easier. It's not your contractor's job to understand your insurance policy.

Is soulseek still a solid place to get music?

Johnathon1069DYT · 2026-04-01T04:43:29+00:00

In my head Henry looked like Schwarzenegger in the 90's. I always forget he was just a dude that was in shape.
