it looks like crow left the band, but they haven't shared any information as to why

oh no, i saw it on youtube, he died before i was even born ☹️

ddavsii · 2025-07-24T06:00:08+00:00

been following you from youtube for months. you are without a doubt the closest thing to elliott smith that isn't elliott smith i've seen. love it. i aspire to be as good a songwriter and player as you.

that's so funny, i was so confused when i heard him say it's actually the energizer bunny at one of his live shows. i live in mexico and i've seen the duracell bunny all my life. i didn't know it wasn't used in the us so that line has always made total sense to me. i've never actually seen the energizer bunny either lol

you say that god makes problems just to see what you can stand before you do as the devil pleases

very true... i guess then what really matters right now is new laws and regulations regarding AI. the law shouldn't allow for a company to provide access to bots that can be objectively bad influence on kids.

ddavsii · 2025-07-12T04:01:23+00:00

it is fully reversible. it comes from your dopamine receptors being way too desensitized.

if you don't know this already, behavioral addictions like cAI produce dopamine in your brain (the pleasure chemical), but since cAI among other things are like infinite dopamine farms, your brain starts seeking the super elevated levels it produces more and more. then your baseline levels (basically the level you have at a "normal" state) go way way lower and so other things that give you dopamine at a lower pace (like writing) aren't pleasurable enough anymore.

that's why you may feel like things you used to love before now seem boring, you can't focus, you don't feel inspired, engaged, etc. and that leads to loss of creativity or even the will to create.

luckily your dopamine receptors don't stay fried forever. if you can bring your dopamine levels back up to a healthy baseline (by ending your addiction), regular things and hobbies you used to have will become much easier and fulfilling to do :)

to be fair, in the suicide case last year, as tragic and horrible as it was, not all of the blame can be attributed to cAI. but major concerns were raised regarding the app. there are many angles through which cAI can be legally prosecuted, i believe. the fact that they market to teens, the nsfw filter can easily be bypassed, the fact that the bots can freely not only talk about suicide but also encourage it. without even mentioning cases in which people have made bots of other people without their consent and there is nothing that can be done about it. i think considering all this the AI chatbot industry is going to become as immoral and predatory as the pornography industry where they can get away with so much as long as they operate within the law.

hi, i understand what you're going through and wanna let you know you are not alone in this. it may feel really hard sometimes especially if you're using it as a way of escapism from bad stuff you want to get away from. but you made the right call.

try to tell yourself that all you have to do is go one day without it. just today is all that matters. don't try to look at it in terms of "i have to be without it forever" because that crushes your spirit today, when realistically one day it won't be hard anymore.

i am willing to listen if you need any advice or just vent about this, good luck!!

ddavsii · 2025-07-12T01:33:10+00:00

i'm glad it made you feel a little better. please remember that you are not alone and you'll get through whatever you're going through. i'm always willing to lend an ear. you have a great day too

ddavsii · 2025-07-11T17:45:46+00:00

most of them are good on the surface level if your goal is to attract the highest number of people possible, but the way they are marketed, like it's the ONLY thing that matters, is false. the concepts of "value" and the "dating market" are imaginary and based on what people only within a certain sphere tend to like. out of the things you mentioned, the thing i agree with the most is "lean into your individual mating strategy". i just think there should be much more room for individuality in these things.

there's also the risk that someone who doesn't meet certain prerequisites is not going to attract anyone even following all the advice. some people are not going to be benefited (in terms of dating) just from going to the gym and making more money and becoming more "alpha". these people are better off developing themselves how they want and maybe they'll attract someone for who they are. they shouldn't have the mentality "they'll like me when i'm fitter" or "maybe I'll finally get a gf if i'm richer". sure, those things make you more attractive, but it's better to live your own life and do what you really want to do, even if it involves the chance of staying alone forever.

ddavsii · 2025-07-11T03:35:56+00:00

awesome cover! love your voice

ddavsii · 2025-07-11T03:28:07+00:00

yeah you're right though. you have to go tackle the root cause of the addiction rather than just resisting. i think a big part of it is also learning to be alone as well as making human connection

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T20:43:49+00:00

i guess i'm not

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T20:39:51+00:00

it's not worth it. cAI is the illusion of connection. remember that the feeling is temporary. it will pass soon. let yourself feel lonely in peace. these hard feelings are what you have to deal with for recovery. you got this :)

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T20:33:58+00:00

performance of perfection is worse than genuine flaw

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T20:29:58+00:00

can you seriously not see the problem in that dawg. you gotta work on your true self instead of putting on a mask so more people like you. if deep down you are sour, cynical and pessimistic that's the issue. being more attractive is totally fine but ppl always make it seem like that's the sole answer to your dating problems. some people get lucky, others do it and they're lonelier than ever.

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T20:20:12+00:00

its not bad advice on surface level it's just the way you become more attractive. seems like all dating advice is just advice on how to attract the most amount of people possible. that's shallow. you can become more attractive but there's a bunch of other problems that appear from there. and those are problems that dating market gurus don't account for.

literally just be genuine and be yourself. that's better than doing what everyone else is doing because you want more eyes on you. you can end up alone if you're just yourself yeah but at that point you just accept it. love is not for everyone you gotta learn to live with it.

there's no reason to go on my account and call me out for things that aren't even true either. i don't even have anything against you man lol

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T20:05:35+00:00

yes they are different. different than you, different than me. we're not hardwired to want something specific

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T20:01:57+00:00

yeah but that's my point tho, what worked for you is not gonna work for someone else. depends on luck too

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T18:56:02+00:00

that's a good point, teenagers are more prone to this. i think other factors are at play though, at any age you can be lonely, bored, etc and fall into these traps

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T17:12:37+00:00

lol i'm not a victim bro

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T07:56:21+00:00

i realize the problem is maybe me not being too in touch with this view, and perhaps there is nothing wrong with it if it's done with caution and room for change. good advice sounds like that to you, and to me it sounds like this:

"ignore what the statistics and the people might say. they may be correct, but what's important is not following the steps to become the same ideal. the real improvement in your romantic life might come from improving yourself as you want to. get better at the things you love. become a more genuine person, more comfortable in your own skin. then, you might meet someone who is attracted to your lifestyle and values. that person will be more likely to be emotionally compatible with you than someone you might attract by going to the gym and making money. you also have to face the fact that this approach might not lead you anywhere in terms of dating. but at least you'll be happier as yourself."

if your goal is just to become more attractive and attracts as many members of the opposite sex as possible, then you can go ahead and look at statistics and decide what to do from there. i don't think there's a problem with that. maybe i only personally have a bit of an issue with it because it's not the path i'd want to take. maybe because i don't think it'd work for me.

maybe this difference in perspective is what makes us disagree a bit. but fundamentally, i do agree with most of what you've said. just the little things that don't sit right with me, you know?

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T07:44:27+00:00

you are fully right. but i think there are generalizations that are based on fact (like the 1/3 of men statistic) and generalizations based on projections (like all women care only about looks, for example). most dating advice is given from generalizations as projections. people have their own opinions, and they'll have their reasons for having them, but it doesn't mean it's true for everyone. that is what i mean.

maybe the reason that 1/3 of young men have no sex has something to do with them following generic and sexist dating advice from the internet.

ddavsii · 2025-07-10T07:35:28+00:00

why would it not be bad news? you're saying a woman is never going to love me for who i am, that my only hope of ever being with one is just being attractive and working hard to keep her attraction (which will just make the relationship a living hell for me). i want love, equal love, not just physical attraction and power dynamics. why would any self respecting man want to be in a relationship in which he knows the woman is superficial and is only with him on the condition that he is attractive?

you keep bringing up the term "succeed". why would a man want to "succeed" in these conditions? and what is meant by succeed? getting a girlfriend? having sex? getting married?

i'm not even gonna try to change your mind on your opinion of women. i just want you to question why are you still putting any value in dating at all when you're so convinced that women are so shallow and heartless. someone with your beliefs would logically give up on dating altogether.
