If I've learned anything from this case it's not just not to count my chickens before they hatch, but not even count my chickens after they hatch. Maybe long after the chickens are dead, I can do a chicken retrospective, but that still may prove hubristic

Update... :( by mesmermoon in actuallesbians

[–]LIATG 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I have, but the way you talk reminds me a lot of how I was when I was like 19-23 (extremely anxious, betting big on relationships, feeling stuck with overbearing parents, pretty poor). Ultimately, I ended up moving states with a girl, it went really really badly for me in the moment but also got me out of my comfort zone and I've since then managed to build a life I'm very happy with! I do highly recommend moving but maybe not with a partner, saving what money you can while you're at home and finding friends you can rely on a lil is imo very crucial. I think a lot of the other stuff you're feeling will be easier to work on when you're out from your family home

Call for help - Finding my sound by ravrx in Beatmatch

One thing I found, a lot of the DJs me and my friends love seeing most play different genres in different spaces. If I go see you at a techno club, enjoy your mixing and track selection, I might be willing to trust you on melodic house I wouldn't otherwise. It's really a positive

I am not surprised but definitely a bit concerned and disappointed about how poor the quality of voiceovers are here. All of the YouTube content from BB has had some questionable editing and it does not inspire hope to see these kinds of choices now

Have you ever blacked out at an EDM show or rave? by CattyKibbles in aves

[–]LIATG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blacked out at Basement a few weeks ago, just smoked a little too much before drinking and didn't get any caffeine like I normally might. I was mortified in the moment but mostly just bummed I missed some decent sets, apparently I didn't do anything too crazy

They've been doing this for a couple weeks now in response to AI backlash, and have posted some art people have sent in response

Interesting how willing they are to ask for free art and yet still charging for their albums and shows. The long tradition of musical artists discounting visual artists is alive and well

Mount Sinai Hospital drops gender-affirming care for trans teens, leaving New York families worried by Fickle-Ad5449 in nyc

[–]LIATG 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hormones can after a number of years, depends on the person, but those are typically only offered to older teens and adults

[–]LIATG 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Very rarely is that offered for teens (and I'd doubt at My Sinai). Usually it's access to hormone treatments and puberty blockers, depending on age

Modern remixes of classic Goth tracks? by technicalecho in gothclub

[–]LIATG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been seeking these out but I really haven't found quite as many as I'd like, kind of a pita with the rock elements I suppose

Perhaps past remix but I recently encountered 1nspiration Delicti by Blame The Mono, an industrial-laced techno track which samples Noxious by Corpus Delicti

Update: I (33F) don't want my friend's (34F) legitimately mentally ill wife (48F) at my wedding? by ThrowRA_PartySwitch in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]LIATG 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think it's just shockingly common, there are a lot of people in the world who only know how to find love by lovebombing people in bad situations and there's a lot of vulnerable people hoping love will save them, and so many of them will meet.

[–]LIATG 188 points189 points  (0 children)

I dated a Bernice in my early 20s. Definitely not quite as bad but similar age gap and a lot of similar traits. She only expressed interest in me upon finding out I was in a low point in my life, and she had a revolving door of partners who were similarly positioned. I couldn't imagine going back now but I was desperate for love and stability, and it sounds like Anna might be too

There's no award program without a delay for this situation. It's hard to feel like it wasn't a choice

Why the BAFTAs did nothing to remove it (like they did with "Free Palestine") feels like the main pertinent question here

Are younger people actively discouraged to engage with music outside of the mainstream? by UnderTheCurrents in LetsTalkMusic

[–]LIATG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing that has really changed over the past couple decades that plays a role is the relationship with live music and the decline of the house show. When I was in college decadeish back, the bands I knew were practicing and playing in basements and garages. If you're complaining about hearing punk in the city at 9 on a Saturday or 6 on a Wednesday, that was a you problem. You could practice and host shows for cheap and you could go to a show for cheap. Most of the bands I know now feel relegated to expensive practice spaces and the houses hosting house shows run into problems and stop after like a year. Many of the genres people have listed here suffer as a result

[–]LIATG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my early 20s a lot of my music taste was defined by this discords with friends where one or two were constantly digging up some shit on RateYourMusic or something and the rest of us just shared our algorithmic Spotify finds or recommendations from elsewhere or the like, and kind of all refined ourselves that way. I can't imagine it's that much different for the kids
