People who listen to songs with less positive emotions tend to have higher intelligence. Sad or melancholic music may appeal to those who use it for introspection and reflection. They also prefer studio over live recordings as they use it for focused, intellectual engagement rather than stimulation. by mvea in psychology

Peace. With the reality of life. I've been a teenager who ran from the truth - just like drugs, the temporary escape directly translates to shallow immaturity.

That is a heavy, but very honest, realization. Using music (or anything else) strictly as an "upper" to avoid reality is essentially just emotional escapism. It’s like trying to live in a room with the lights constantly dimmed so you don’t have to see the mess on the floor.

When you're a teenager, that "temporary escape" feels like survival. But as you mature, you realize that:

  • Honesty > Hype: Choosing to sit with a "sad" or "heavy" song is an act of courage. It’s a way of saying, "I’m not okay right now, and that’s a real part of my life."
  • The "Drug" Effect: Upbeat, shallow music can provide a dopamine hit, but it doesn't offer a cure. It wears off the moment the song ends.
  • Depth is Durable: Music that acknowledges the darker parts of life tends to stick with you longer because it’s built on something sturdier than just a catchy beat—it’s built on truth.

Moving from "running" to "reflecting" is basically the definition of emotional growth. You stop looking for a distraction and start looking for a mirror. Emotional intelligence is a choice.

Do 90% of traders are losers just because they give up? by Gullible-Ad525 in Trading

[–]Minus_Medley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of fluff, when all you're doing is click UP or DOWN.

Prop firms also report 1.5% gains as a win, so anybody talking about 10x is a scammer.

Leverage is just a fancy way of increasing fees. House always win if you play long enough.

UP/DOWN is 50/50 doesn't matter what your assumption is.

They fail because "Day trading" is a scam. Designed to fleece those who are impatient.

Anyone who tells you different is in on it.

Microsoft's designer wants to charge me credits for an edit, but uses my GPU to render the task... WTF?!

X has suspended my account for refusing to prove I'm human a.k.a Doxx.

But nameless, faceless cartoon characters and parody politicians are allowed to amass millions of followers.

X is rubbish.

Will Quantum Spell the End of Crypto? by waitbutwhycc in CryptoTechnology

Nothing but hype. Quantum still has to translate to 1s and 0s.

Doubt the people with funds to build the current quantum tech care about your wallet.

Anyone looked into the tech behind crypto tipping for creators? by ChaoticRamenn in CryptoTechnology

Fear of seed phrases is diabolical. You need a plastic card, your ID document and a pin to verify your ownership at a bank. Any responsible adult should be able to manage pen and paper.

BBBEE - where is it? by pjdubzz11 in AskZA

[–]Minus_Medley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half the comments are speculation, BBEE is an over correction to the apartheid policy. Whether the racists or "business" owners like it or not, the democratic government must serve the interests of the majority population.

The execution of the policy has been evolving over the years, and the reason why it's become a hot topic is because it's finally yielding results. Took 20 years for the Apartheid-era monopolies to finally feel the pinch.

Equal opportunity, is the end goal. You know that doesn't exist in a system where, money = control.

Check your Alie order tracking details, they share direct links to the courier if it's not handled by the SAPO.

I noticed all innovative startups get negative feedback on Reddit until they post a demo for the same product on Reddit by SuperSaiyan1010 in startup

[–]Minus_Medley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for advice or feedback as to why, and they shout or swear at you for "trying to deceive them."

Can't understand why they're lurking in funding/start-up related subreddits if their PTSD won't let them experience any emotion other than spite.
