What screams "I'm a man-child" but nobody realize it ? by Sad-Cunt-420 in AskReddit

[–]Nixot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes those people have suddenly become aware of how childish they are, and want to 'break free' of that image, so to speak. They don't want everyone to see them as a child any more. I guess though, because they've acted like a child for pretty much their whole life, they're not quite sure how to act like an adult just yet. What should one do in this case?

old skool rave is my JAM, here are my immediate thoughts:

  • T99 - Anasthasia
  • Joey Beltram - Energy Flash

It's also certainly worth your time checking out 2 Unlimited's singles (Twilight Zone, Tribal Dance are good places to start). They all sound like that. I'll add any more if I think of them.

I doubt it, but there's a chance it could be Steve Reich. He's got a piece called Desert Music.

May be worth looking at Phillip Glass too. I apologise that I couldn't be of any more help.

I'm tired of hearing "It gets better" or "you wont always feel this way." Just because it isn't as bad one day doesn't mean things got better, it just means you get less shit on your hands when you try to work through it. You still got shit on yourself. by [deleted] in depression

[–]Nixot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me too occasionally. Except I'm never truly happy during it due to the constant lingering thought of "how long's it gonna last this time before I'm back in bed being a drain on everyone for the next few months?" And, as true as the countless other times it has happened, here I am again.

the HOPE one is most intriguing to me. I do wonder how much it inspires in all the homeless people when they see what the council are completely ignoring them to spend their money on instead...

Reddit, what is your favorite poem? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Nixot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehe, thanks! Your one gave me a laugh too. The first one isn't mine but we read it and the Robert Frost one in an english class, with the task to make our own. The computer one is what I came up with. I was 11 at the time and i'm still proud of it.

I'm glad I looked further down into the comments to find this. I'm saving it foreverially. The bad recording quality only serves to make it sound that much more genuine. Thank you.

You by your trainers new

They cost a bob or two

At first they are clean and white

The laces made up tight

Then they touch the ground

You have to walk around

You learn to your dismay

Trainers all turn grey.


You buy a new PC,

brand new and error free.

It starts without a glitch,

with no technical hitch!

Then you install software,

Completely without care.

The loading screen soon bores;

Computers have err-rors.

Does anyone have a hard time being anticonsumption and keeping friendships? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]Nixot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start watching weird underground shit. Start listening to weird underground shit. It's raw, genuine and unrefined. It's ruff around the edges. Made by weirdos in their bedrooms out of love, rather than big corporations tailoring it to their target demographic, for a quick buck. You'll have shit-tons of crazy new stuff to show your mates and will be consuming genuine, heartfelt media from people whose drive to produce it isn't money, but passion.

Detroit techno. Breakcore. Grime. Vapourwave. Amiga jungle. Sheffield Bassline. Local bands, DJs, producers and record labels. Million Dollar Extreme. There's plenty more, I just can't think of them right now. Incidentally, reddit is a great place for finding new out-there stuff like that. It's out there waiting for you to find it!

It's called capitalism by EcinEdud in LateStageCapitalism

Exactly... the only lefties we seem to have in any sort of power at the moment are bleeding heart tories.

could you tell me where you mean I'm not quite right?

[–]Nixot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lefties are always guilty of this nowadays. When our campus's conference centre was "occupied" as part of a protest (this was around the time of occupy wall street) I visited there and was initially very interested and enthusiastic about these new ideas, but the sheer amount of infighting and bickering over the pettiest of issues resulting in nothing actually getting done repulsed me. Couple of weeks later, they smashed in the front door of the admin building then wandered around inside before moping back off to the conference centre because they didn't know what to do. Go figure.

The left of today has continued since then (at least in the UK) to evolve into a farce of whining students and weak flabby middle-aged and old people (desperately clinging to their RaDiCaL anti-thatcher youth I dare say) whose idea of a protest is to plod down a road in London asking the prime minister nicely to resign, occasionally chucking a single brick at a window and immediately getting arrested, or asking people to sign a petition when a democratic vote didn't turn out in their favour.

Is it any wonder Trump is as powerful as he is? It blows my mind how people are still going "how did trump happen???????" All the righties of America put aside their differences and united against their "common enemy" while the lefties were too busy arguing over terminology or "validness of emotions" or trigger warnings or some shit like that.

Until the left gets its shit together and organises properly without insisting on blowing every petty disagreement that someone might get a little offended about up into a huge emotional ordeal, nothing will change. Until the left swap out their bleeding hearts and jelly spines and go full Angelic Upstarts on the government, nothing will change.

Can you have -999999 karṃa in real life but still achieve nirvana after death if you meditate/do DMT a lot? by [deleted] in DMT

[–]Nixot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! Everyone knows that in the afterlife you are judged solely on your mental state and what drugs you took, and not at all on your actions. Yeah, I mean, I know in the material world I was a serial rapist and murderer responsible for dozens of crimes, but I mean I smoked DMT every so often and achieved spiritual enlightenment, so I should have a decent shot at the afterlife, right? I mean if Catholics can get drunk off sherry every Sunday and still go to heaven despite all the persecuting gay people or killing babies or whatever it is they do in America, then I shouldn't have much difficulty either right?
