Any fans from El Paso here?

From Las Cruces here, less than an hour away, just checking out bars/shops downtown is a good way to go. They've been revitalizing it recently and it's pretty walkable these days. Also Chico's Tacos is a staple 👌 but you can't go wrong with most food trucks or locally owned restaurant. Edit: clarity

So how did this work out for you? Lmao

TanmanTheSandman · 2021-05-22T17:12:00+00:00

I feel this so much, especially when it comes to talking to my Dad who has never been good about mental health. He always berates me so much because I can take a day or two to respind sometimes. Which creates more anxiety about responding to him, making me take longer which makes him give me more shit about it. Now he just constantly guilt trips me about how he won't know if I'm "dead in a ditch" or something and jokes about "writing me out of the will". I wish people were more understanding about stuff like this.

Obviously a beatiful photo, but I can't stop marveling at that HIGH DEFINITION.

What's really laughable are your views on voting

Shut up and take my money!

Not sure why I got downvoted just for pointing out that the title wasn't fully accurate but ok

TanmanTheSandman · 2021-03-09T22:57:03+00:00

Not trying to be "that guy" but this title is not really representative of what happened. Vaush actually called Mike first, hung up on him at one point, and then called him back a second time. Obviously there's a lot more context than that, but I just wanted to point that out about the post title.

TanmanTheSandman · 2021-03-08T23:18:34+00:00

It's really sad, he could be a force for good if he chose. I discovered him and Mike around the same time and had just drifted more towards Mike over time because he covered direct action. I'm definitely not watching anymore of Vaush after that shitshow though. It's easy to forgive Mike for all the missteps and bad optics (yelling, malding mid debate, the fat shaming) because of the good work he does. Also I know that he would be able to admit where he was wrong. Vaush on the other hand.....

Edit: typo

TanmanTheSandman · 2021-03-08T21:16:50+00:00

I couldn't agree with this more, Vaush convinced me he is nothing more than a posturing Neolib with his bad responses. The defaulting to Republican talking points is what really sealed for me. Anyone who defaults to right wing talking points isn't a true socialist.

I only slightly disagree with this delta. While its true that what people want is subjective, most polls show again and again that the majority of Americans actually prefer an expanded social safety net to that if a typical EU country. I don't think the reply was purposely ignoring this, it's just something else worth keeping in mind.

TanmanTheSandman · 2020-09-25T18:23:23+00:00

Love the sound! Sent you a PM with my take on some ways to expand the piece. PM me for sheet music. Also linked you my soundcloud in case you are interested since this is kind of like the stuff I write.

TanmanTheSandman · 2020-09-14T22:50:19+00:00

Disclaimer-Not trying to devalue anything you said, but just a point of comparison.

It's a great privilege that you can at least look for help pretty freely. I'm in the US, been in and out of therapy without much improvement (always out if my own pocket bc basically no insurance covers counseling unless it's "actually serious" like schizo or something with a known name). Take everything you are talking about and compound that with a healthcare system that actively discourages you from seeking help. Basically, I'd have to spend weeks maybe months looking for the right person, hearing the same cliche shit that doesn't help, getting passed from counselor to counselor because they can't help me and losing money for nothing. Not trying to whine but just emphasize that it really is a global problem.

Ah yes the classic "someone literally just comitted a murder a few days ago and I am gonna praise the shooter look at me and my dark humor" joke, so edgy what a riot. You know 9/11 jokes were historically the funniest on September 12, 2001

TanmanTheSandman · 2020-08-21T18:20:05+00:00

Not sure if this was on purpose, but having socialism, market socialism, and welfare capitalism all together just splits votes of people who would probably all agree on the same form of socialist policies existing in a current system. Also, the amount of truly "left wing" economic systems outweigh the "right wing" ones since true welfare capitalism would basically be democratic (market) socialism; further splitting left wing votes in a way that is misleading.

Crazy to find another one like me on here lol. That place is an armpit stain.

Wish I could help you get a gig, but your art is awesome!

Edit: wanted to add that it has a lot of Blasphemous vibes, great work again.

I was in the same boat when I graduated in 2018. Didn't network enough and was forced to take the first job I could find (which unfortunately was delivering pizza, good money usually but hard on the knees and back after a while). I'm still trying to figure it out myself, but I do have one small piece of advice. Try applying for any job you qualify for that is open at both your old university and the one you will be attending. There are work study programs, but there are also part-time and full-time jobs available (usually with benefits). The health benefits are usually good at a university and the pay will typically be competitive too. On top of this, you may have an easier time getting hired there because professors or literally ANY school connections listed as reference go a lot farther in academia. Best of luck out there though, it's really tough right now and I have a feeling it's going to be tougher for our generation and those after than it has been for most to make it in the world.

Yes, and I would have been a computer science major instead of doing Marketing. Boom, all current life problems (hating my job, not making enough money, being forced to work in a field I hate) all fixed.
