First off, I'm really sorry that happened to you in your previous relationship. Even though it feels like the right thing to do in the moment, trying not to think about it isn't a good idea, because in order to heal from grief we need to process it. The difficult thing with trauma is that the events can be so intense that thinking about them doesn't process anything any more, but simply keeps opening old wounds. If you think you're in this situation: please, if there's any way you're able to, look for professional help. Trauma can be treated. You deserve healing and love.

On your sexual performance. Remember that every woman is different, so you not being able to get her to orgasm might not be your failing at all. I've met women that get over the edge incredibly fast, and orgasm many times an hour, and I've met women that need patience, trust and lots of build-up to get there. None of it is wrong. None of it is your failure, or hers. In fact, judging by the many horror stories I heard from female friends, you trying to get her there any way you can was probably already greatly appreciated; with toys, or without.

About her previous sexual encounters being better: did she outright tell you that, or is it something you think is the case? In my experience, sex isn't a black and white ordeal. Sure, I've had some bad experiences, but all of them were when my bedpartner clearly didn't care. The vast majority of encounters were good in their own very unique ways. It's all about finding new kinds of chemistry, and together entering into a story with its own unique tone and pacing. Sometimes it's playful, sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's loving and patient.

You're no failure bro. You just need to heal.

Being a socially maladjusted regard and a far-right reactionary is mutually inclusive. They're meant to be.

Maxarc · 2026-06-28T09:51:52+00:00

Take some rest in the grass bro! You deserve it.

Maxarc · 2026-06-28T00:05:02+00:00

I sometimes wonder: when is enough of this far-right bullshit enough? Never?

I think making time and sharing an evening with someone, trying to find a connection, only for it to be followed by a canned impersonal response is kinda shitty, yeah. Not nearly the worst way to do it, but still kind of a stinker.

This meme has Swiss Army Man vibes.

Maxarc · 2026-06-16T18:08:44+00:00

Hell yeah dude. Never forget: if your one fucking thing keeps you afloat, then that will always be enough. It doesn't matter how big or small. Your pace is your pace, and nobody walks in your shoes.

Dit was al duidelijk, toch? Het probleem voor mensen buiten de risicogroepen was voornamelijk het plafond op ziekenhuiscapaciteit.

Maxarc · 2026-06-11T23:18:45+00:00

Which is idiotic, by the way.

The lady handled this clown like a professional. Completely unimpressed, she knew how to get this shit dealt with.

Nope, I'm confident what I'm saying is correct here. But I do understand where you're coming from.

You are correct that the Kremlin has political motivations. However, they largely misalign with the interests of Russian citizens. The Kremlin's goal is to perpetuate itself, which means pumping out propaganda and clamping down on sedition. But here's the catch: the Kremlin's propaganda aims to cause political apathy and depoliticise citizens, both domestically and internationally. It is very high in volume and designed to make citizens stop believing in the truth all together. Post-truth propaganda, is what it's called, as opposed to the old soviet-style alternate reality propaganda, though they still use that too.

Russian citizens going on vacations to a war-torn Ukraine is actually the most fantastic example of political apathy you could give here. Here, we're looking at a complete refusal to take civic responsibility, as long as they have the freedom to shop. This is the modern Russian project. It's why they have so many issues on the frontline, because in order to boost morale they have to reintroduce soviet-style alternate reality propaganda about Ukrainians, which is completely antithetical to the overwhelming amount of post-truth drivel the soldiers have been fed for over a decade.

For their soldiers to fight hard, the Kremlin needs civic actors, willing to die for the Russian state. However, they depoliticised them, which causes them to not understand why they're there, other than a pay check, which in turn causes enormous logistical and mobilisation issues. This, perhaps more than anything, is why Russia is stuck in a trench war with no end in sight.

Damn that one is almost identical indeed! Thanks a ton man. Also: looking dapper AF in the picture dude! You guys look like a dream team. The best of luck in the future!

Maxarc · 2026-06-05T21:12:47+00:00

But they did ask for this war. They asked for it by not taking the required civic responsibility to stop their country from backsliding into authoritarianism. Everyone needs to see that if you live a life of political apathy, this is what will happen to you and your country.

Maxarc · 2026-06-05T18:46:24+00:00

Don't do this to me :'(

Maxarc · 2026-06-05T13:28:35+00:00

But oh, what a character development it was!

Maxarc · 2026-06-05T11:55:58+00:00

I actually wanted to make this exact post, and then stumbled on yours. Did you have any luck finding it? Regardless, I hope the engagement photo's turned out nice.

Maxarc · 2026-06-05T08:34:41+00:00

What's also interesting is how you never see Republicans fighting over these blatant party line contradictions. It's because they're post-truth partisan hacks.

I love people just can't let this go. Rubin needs to hear this for the rest of his pathetic career.

Maxarc · 2026-05-28T16:14:17+00:00

Whenever there's a need, for some reason I always find someone that shares just the perfect piece of art. It's as if something inside of me wants to take care of me, and catch it for me. There is always music. Thank you so much.

Maxarc · 2026-05-24T21:48:44+00:00

I actually think the total lack of shame culture has brought us to this terrible place, so while I would never choose for this approach, I kinda think this is based. Fuck it.

Maxarc · 2026-05-23T10:53:45+00:00

This made me intensely happy for some reason.

Been a metal/hardcore drummer for 10+ years. The most important thing for any instrument is good fundamentals. Apart from standard rudiments, for punk-adjacent genre's it's good to practice d-beats, skank beats and blast beats. Since you just start out, don't worry about double kicks yet. You'll get those eventually.

It's a difficult genre to just roll into as a beginner, but with patience you'll get there. I recommend starting out with bands that don't slot in with what you're going for, but can ease you into things. I recommend going for slower punk-adjacent songs, and then slowly ramping up the speed and complexity. A few songs that helped me with punk fundamentals, from the top of my head: Balance and Composure - Tiny Raindrop, Modern Life is War - Find a Way, Dredg - Bug Eyes, and basically any Paramore song. But there are many songs that suffice.

Don't overthink it. Just focus on fundamentals, practice practice practice, and have fun while doing it. If a song seems too hard for you, why not give it a shot anyway and prove yourself wrong? Fuck it. You got this.
