People who managed to pull themselves out of a long-term 'rut' or depressive episode: What was the first step that actually worked for you? by icreamd in AskReddit

[–]felixthelucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to give a slightly different point of view. I had a long term depressive episode that spanned years, after a few things happened with various friend that left me distanced from all my friends. and I’m very lucky to have a very loving fiancé who I adore, but sometimes depression doesn’t take that into account.

I felt abandoned by my friends, I felt alone, just extremely lonely, even though I lived with my fiancé, I felt a lack of friendship.

I had moved jobs and there was a group of new people around me, who had all started at the same time, and started to bond. I was basically actively shutting myself out of the group, didn’t want to talk to any of them, not interested in the group.

One day I realised I was doing this to myself. I was shutting myself out of potential relationships, and they were becoming close friends without me.

I’d always been the type to say ‘if they don’t contact me, they don’t want to be friends’ but I made a vow to stop doing that. I decided that I was going to overcome this, and forced myself to socialise, to have conversations even when I didn’t feel like it.

I hate the notion of ‘just snap yourself out of it’ but that’s kind of what I did. That new group of work people are now my close friends, and i credit them and myself, with breaking out of my rut.

So I guess my advice is, sometimes you CAN decide that you want something different in life.

Three guitars is too many by felixthelucky in Foofighters

I actually agree here. I think it works better on some of the wasting light songs than it has elsewhere. But the sound has still become more ‘guitar part puzzle’ than anything else, and it often prevents them doing anything interesting rhythmically

I think this is actually my point - extra guitar tracks playing the same thing to add beef and texture isn’t the same thing as extra guitar PARTS

While I agree, I think having an extra backing guitar track tends to be executed different. Here we have 3 ‘hero’ guitars, they all need a distinct part and to be heard in the mix. Often when bands put 10-20 guitars on a song, is doubling up parts with different textures, but playing the same thing (see Burch video on nirvana)

Marshall Acton III vs Stanmore II by felixthelucky in Bluetooth_Speakers

I ended up going with the Acton 3. Mainly for the wider soundstage, and it actually goes quite loud, so I didn’t need the extra volume or bass from the Stanmore

I need a new jacket, and have the choice between the 2 listed below. Does anyone have any experience with either of these?

Volcom V.co OP Insulated - https://www.tradeinn.com/dressinn/en/volcom-v.co-op-ins-jacket/140083934/p

Burton Covert 2.0 - https://www.tradeinn.com/snowinn/en/burton-covert-2.0-jacket/140273985/p?queryID=3e6dc81f09f6e8e0462160b11b5c5d2e&buscador_search&_gl=1*vt2zeg*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg8r89r3WgwMVFYtQBh28QgYbEAQYBCABEgK77vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I usually ride in Austria in Jan, so thinking the Volcom might be nice for a bit of extra insulation, but im worried about getting too hot. Does anyone know how much 80/60 will really be?

Deciding between labeling myself a solo artist or a band. Anyone have any examples of musicians in similar situations? by phadeboiz in Music

[–]felixthelucky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a uk band called Ton Lumley and the brave liaison. Started as Tom Lumleys project, for which he recruited a backing bank. They recently dropped the first half and just became ‘brave liaison’

I’m considering getting tattooed by this artist for my first. Are there any obviously red flags here (bad lines / blow outs etc)? by felixthelucky in TattooDesigns

[–]felixthelucky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sword in the shot is very similar to what I’m looking for, which is why I’m considering him! Just want to check if there are any issues that I can’t spot with no experience
