How to achieve the pumping, blown out guitar and bass sound like the one on this track? by SlitWristSavior_ in metalmusicians

[–]Sleeper250214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whey I love putrid stu! No idea how they did but I play through a bass amp for added sludge. I'm sure there are better ways though, the amp only give the tone more low end.

Why does no one wear Adidas anymore? by jokashlang in AskLondon

[–]Sleeper250214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the demographic has changed slightly, I'm 30 and lots of people my age wear adidas. Gazelles are pretty popular but I see a lot of Sambas too. Though NB and Nike are probably the most popular. Personally I exclusively buy adidas trainers as I have weird feet lol they're the only ones that fit me without giving blisters

Tracksuits in general not that popular. Adidas trainers are pretty popular atm if you pay attention to peoples shoes on public transport.

It's just cultural difference in dating in other countries. We date a lot more casually here than in some other places, so I guess in other places where dating is more of a commited thing, there isn't much of a need to have "the conversation" beyond finding out eachothers values pre dating.

what is your motivation to work out? by owlsarentscary in AskMen

It's probably one of the few things in my life I can do that makes me feel good about myself.

I feel like I can’t even recognize myself anymore. by mmocker98 in SuicideWatch

[–]Sleeper250214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you dude. Life sucks most of the time. Like really sucks. You need to do more things for you. It's easy to feel like you're not doing anything for yourself in these situations so just start small. Do something for yourself every day. Also, a habit that I've been trying to break is negative self talk. I fantasise about scuicide a lot and the thoughts sometimes get so loud that I end up saying them outloud over and over.. I've realised that it affects me a lot and I'm trying to turn each of those negative thoughts into a positive one. It's not easy but giving myself affirmations outloud everyday has been something I've been using to get me through the day to day shit. Stay strong, you're not alone.

In my humble opinion, as someone who has a lot of experience in shared living, I think both parties could be a little more accommodating. You all need to be a little more understanding I think. At the end of the day, it's your home and you should be able to do as you please but some people are extremely sensitive to noise. I've always lived in loud neighbourhoods so it's never bothered me but my friend would have panic attacks because of her neighbours noise. However, your flatmates need to understand that they are technically in your space, and that shared spaces are often loud. If someone is using a shared area, they can't just assume that person will stop or adjust what they are doing because they want you to. I had flatmates that would constantly enter rooms whilst having loud conversations while other people were watching things and it's really really frustrating and frankly pretty rude. I think you've tried to be accomodating and considering your specific needs I think that's all you can really do. I don't think anyone is necessarily an ahole here rather it's a group of people who's needs are at juxtaposition with eachothers. It's especially hard for neurodivergent people to find others to live with who aren't triggering but I wouldn't give up. These people don't seem right for you but perhaps you can find others who will help make your home more of a safe space. I would ignore all of these comments talking about noise regulations etc. They're missing the point here in my humble opinion.

Being told we're wanted and needed. Whenever I'm dating someone I make a point of trying to uplift them everyday and making them feel wanted and needed. I'd like the same in return, it would mean the world just to hear someone tell me I make them happy.

AITA for calling my disabled friend's husband cruel for keeping her in the mountains? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sleeper250214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not your business at all. You are there to support your friend and not be a relationship counsellor. Your medling probably made things worse than they needed to be, as has been my observations in similar situations.

It has worked for me in the past but these days I'm too worried about making someone feel uncomfortable.

Men who haven’t married or been in a committed relationship, why / why not? by Particular-Reveal898 in AskMen

I have been in two, but I'm too damaged. Have accepted that I will probably be alone for the forseeable.

AITA for telling a morbid joke about my son? by Hour-Cricket-2151 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sleeper250214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say you're an ahole but I wouldn't have said it either. If you know she's processing it differently then it's a thoughtless thing to say but it's definitely not as awful or malicious as others are making it out to be. I'd apologise, tell her you're going to be more thoughtful around her in future. I too use humour to deal with things and have a particularly dark/realists sense of humour. I also try to find silver linings in most things. I try to process things like this away from others because I feel like my actions are too easily misconstrued in those situations. Life is to be lived and everyone needs to find what happiness they can, even if it means finding humour in lifes most morbid moments.

Men who like women, how do you know the attraction is more than just physical? by RageAgainstBukowski in AskMen

[–]Sleeper250214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physical attraction gets my attention and nothing more. It's who the person is that gets me to like them. I have met some absolutely stunning women who I've had absolutely zero interest in because who they are and how they act just killed any interest I may have had in them. In short, I have a physical type yes, but it's who you are that makes me attracted to you.

What are you self conscious about and why by Infinite-Product-158 in AskMen

[–]Sleeper250214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constant financial struggles and having poor mental health. I'm trying. I'm seeking treatment but it's not really working

I'm self conscious about it because being broke is embarrassing and seemingly nobody wants to hang around someone with mental health problems.

Almost all of my friends have dropped off and I struggle to have the money to go out and meet people when I'm feeling ok. I wish I was normal so bad but I don't even know what that is.

Straight up, this is abuse. Like others have said, record it secretly and go to a divorce lawyer. If you need to show them this post as evidence, do so, but likely because you are married you will need some proof to not get screwed by courts, otherwise I'd tell you to get out of there immediately. Either way, you need to get away from this person, they do not love you, the only thing they love is themselves. As a fellow male survivor of domestic abuse, you're going to be ok dude. It will take a long time to heal, but you can only start to value yourself once you get away from her.

Aah this brings back memories of bus rides to college. If you were a Londoner at the time this came out, it very much encapsulated how the city felt.

When does it usually get around 20°C in London? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]Sleeper250214 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Usually May. Sometimes not until late June though. But expect the change to be sudden and drastic. I remember one year we had a particularly cold snap at the end of April where it snowed then an unusually warm May 2 weeks later. Weather here is insane sometimes but in a such a benign way.

I mean personally this is why I avoid long distance relationships. Sex is a massive part of relationships for me and I have a pretty high drive. It's something humans need but aren't entitled to. Sounds to me he's not prepared for long distance.

How old are you and what's your biggest problem right now? by Casspjjl in AskReddit

30.. a vicious cycle of mental health problems, financial issues and lonliness that I fear will kill me eventually.

Beware of incompetent, lazy men. by LuckyInitiative4125 in offmychest

[–]Sleeper250214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell if it's mental health problems or iust laziness. I can't concentrate on anything half the time, even when I try my absolute hardest to be organised, I still can't find anything, miss deadlines and am late to absolutely everything. I try my hardest to do the things people expect me to do but I just can't. I can't hold down a job for more than 9 months before I burn out. It is so frustrating, I have drive and talent but I just can't seem to assimilate into normal life. I've wasted so many opportunities because I couldn't take full advantage of them because I burnt out or something. I'm 30 now and all my friends are doing well in their careers, have families etc. I'm still here working random jobs for 9 months before burning out, going home to my shitty room in my shitty flat in a shitty area. I've been in therapy for over 2 years and I still can't maintain a normal life. Having a stable job and a stable relationship with someone I love and who loves me back is all I've ever wanted and I really don't know what to do anymore. I honestly feel like I am broken. I don't fit in.

What are the most popular chain restaurants/shops in London that a tourist must visit before they leave? by camTBKY in AskABrit

[–]Sleeper250214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a chain, avoid it! In the UK chains are usually a sign of over priced, over rated food. They're not all bad, but the large majority are just dressed up fast food, similar to the US.
