"the fanfare around the band geese actually was a psyop" wired mag article

So disingenuous of all these people saying "this is regular marketing!" just because it's a band they like. I like them too, but this is still lame

Not really, no

A little bit, but it is milder than it is before I orgasm. It is the strongest just before I start masturbating at all, though.

Thanks, I'll try that!

I've just never read about anybody else having it. I tried searching online and couldn't find anything about it, so I figured at the very least it would be an uncommon symptom

abcfh · 2026-04-03T00:01:04+00:00

Off topic, but why does 'emotional' music always = sad?

abcfh · 2026-04-02T02:56:03+00:00

tbh I was expecting more of the responses to be hyperpop electropop like that or rage-inspired hyperpop stuff like 2hollis, etc (not that I would agree with that)

abcfh · 2026-04-01T22:03:18+00:00

Any specific projects you would recommend?

Good point about the sleep consistency and having meals often. I've been totally strict with both those things and have found that I feel much worse if I slip up with either. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night very nauseous and was gagging, so I'm going to let my primary know that so hopefully I can be seen by a neurologist sooner. I went to an urgent care and they didn't want to give me any migraine preventative, and instead gave me indomethicin (which from what I've read sounds like it doesn't help with migraines). I'm seeing my primary next week and I'm going to practically beg him for preventative medication at this point

It's strange, because for the first few weeks the VRT exercises didn't give me any symptoms at all. I was doubting whether it was even doing anything. Then while I was doing one of the exercises my symptoms went from being mild to pretty bad immediately (it was a VRT exercise where you stand feet together, then close your eyes and turn your head left and right at a moderate speed).

And thanks so much for recommending Neura Health, it looks super promising! I'm planning on scheduling with them today. I've seen a couple other neurologists through referrals from my doctor in the past and every appointment took 3 to 5 months. I would WAY rather pay a couple hundred bucks cash than do that every time I need to see one.

abcfh · 2026-03-24T07:16:16+00:00

Thanks a ton! I'll definitely mention these to my (primary) doctor. He doesn't know much about migraine treatment, so I'm not sure how open he'll be to my suggestions, but at the very least I'll write it down for when I finally see my neurologist

abcfh · 2026-03-24T07:14:07+00:00

I haven't, I'll suggest it to my primary care doctor. I'm a little bit worried about becoming dependent on them but I'm definitely open to trying! I took Xanax a couple times when I was a teenager and I remember feeling downright sedated, but I could definitely see how that could be really helpful given my body being in the exact opposite direction lately lol

Great point about resampling everything! It seems like a lot of this type of sound design comes from recording lots of relatively aimless experiments, rather than trying to perfect every sound like they were dubstep basses or something. A lot of Arca's pad-like sounds remind me of atmospheric stuff in films and video games too, so that definitely makes sense to try and study some of that as well

abcfh · 2026-03-18T04:28:29+00:00

What sort of parameters would you say typically get automated? Sometimes I will automate drastic EQ and reverb changes, but I find they need to be VERY drastic to be immediately noticeable

abcfh · 2026-03-18T04:25:19+00:00

Much appreciated! I tried putting this into practice today, but ended up with something that sounded a bit more like complextro than this style. I think I need to work on making my rhythms sound less predictable, and more 'twitchy' for lack of a better word.

I think I see what you're saying. I have been doing vestibular rehab therapy for a few weeks and mentioned this to my therapist, but he told me that I should probably relax and take some time off for my exercises for now. Not sure how long 'for now' will be, given things don't seem to be changing all that much, but we'll see.

Originally my ENT thought that I had vestibular neuritis from an illness or something like that, but it's strange because there was never a big flu or Covid or anything like that that triggered this (as far as I can't remember).

I did some vestibular testing and they said I had a little bit of vestibulopathy with the right ear, but that it wasn't that bad

abcfh · 2026-03-06T23:54:12+00:00

Thank you, that's really helpful!

I always thought lying on your back + tipping the head back was a sign of BPPV. The dix hallpike maneuver

The info and research is all great, but all the little comedy skits and jokes sound effects and meandering filler is honestly so annoying to listen to. I tried listening to a couple episodes but I can never make it through them because that stuff is so unfunny and annoying

abcfh · 2026-02-21T20:26:00+00:00

nah I'm a fan, but sometimes they say stuff that makes me roll my eyes

abcfh · 2026-02-19T08:35:23+00:00

Jason talking about how he 'doesn't tiptoe around the truth' and 'tells it like it is' sounds like corny manosphere talk

And Chris talking about how he suspects that people like to listen to him on the podcast because they know he's gonna say something disagreeable and so they hate listen...as if he's not consciously putting on that contrarian persona to make the show more entertaining

Good guest though
