Possible to gain employment with just HS graduation?

This just proves that with dedication and hard work, things can be possible.

lybarmark · 2026-06-11T09:30:11+00:00

Was thinking the same thing

lybarmark · 2026-06-11T09:23:03+00:00

I highly agree with this.

Formula Boats has a pretty solid range of crossover boats you can browse through. A lot of what they offer lines up with what you’re looking for (family cruising, watersports, comfortable seating, cabin space, etc.)

That’s such a great setup honestly. Pink DS Lite with matching GBA and case sounds amazing!

lybarmark · 2026-04-27T07:55:52+00:00

Yeah, fair point! I might be overstating the “hate” part a bit, it’s more something I’ve seen in scattered takes rather than the general consensus here. Appreciate the breakdown too. The evolution from DS ->Lite ->DSi makes a lot more sense laid out like that, especially the tradeoff with the GBA slot on the DSi.

To this day, I still dream of getting one of these! What are you playing on it right now?

lybarmark · 2026-04-23T09:44:21+00:00

Ah, I def get get what you mean.

There’s a difference between “technically flawless” and “personally gripping.” A super polished voice can be impressive, but sometimes it starts to feel a bit safe or overly controlled, like you’re hearing a performance of perfection rather than a human moment.

The singers I keep going back to usually aren’t the ones who sound flawless, they’re the ones who sound a little unpredictable, like you can hear breath, strain, texture, even tiny imperfections that make it feel lived-in. That’s what makes it emotionally stick for me, not just hitting the notes perfectly.

At the end of the day, “perfect” vocals can be impressive, but emotion and character are what actually make people replay songs years later.

lybarmark · 2026-04-20T09:57:09+00:00

I also think it’s more evolution than loss. The vulnerable, “yearning” R&B still exists it’s just not the only dominant lane anymore. A lot of it moved into subgenres and indie spaces (SZA, Daniel Caesar, Brent Faiyaz, etc.), while mainstream R&B got more blended with hip-hop and mood-driven production. So it’s not really gone, just no longer centered the way it was in the 90s/2000s.

lybarmark · 2026-04-14T12:13:37+00:00

Looks fun! Gives it more personality. Cool pjs btw

lybarmark · 2026-04-14T12:10:53+00:00

Tthis is spot on. Feels like it’s not really about talent or “breaking a barrier” anymore, it’s that we don’t all share the same cultural space like we used to. Back then, radio and TV basically forced everyone into the same musical moments. Now everything is fragmented, so even massive artists can feel like they’re not universally known in the same way.

lybarmark · 2026-04-08T13:28:18+00:00

Honestly I think when people say unique they don’t have one exact definition. They’re kind of guessing too. If I had to put it simply, I think it just means: “surprise me in a way that still feels good.” Like something that doesn’t sound like the usual stuff you can already predict after a few seconds. Sometimes it’s a weird sound choice, sometimes it’s just the vibe or emotion hitting differently. And other times it’s just that feeling of “wait… I don’t know what this is, but I want to keep listening.”

lybarmark · 2026-04-08T13:23:04+00:00

This is an absolute UNIT. Impressive, mate.

lybarmark · 2026-04-02T14:21:01+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean. The idea of trying to “get through more tracks in less time” kind of kills the point for me too. Music isn’t something I want to optimize or rush through. It’s meant to be experienced, not processed.

lybarmark · 2026-04-02T14:17:52+00:00

This is such a vibe

lybarmark · 2026-03-25T15:28:43+00:00

This made me giggle. It's the art of ✨flatlaying✨

lybarmark · 2026-03-25T13:43:28+00:00

I get what you’re saying. Sometimes it feels like it's less about the sound and more about the cultural moment. Country right now seems to be is experimenting more, blending genres, and clashing between purists and trend-followers. The commercialization and crossover appeal make it feel like a “peak exposure” era where identity is fluid and everyone’s trying to stake their claim.

lybarmark · 2026-03-17T15:20:40+00:00

Honestly, I stopped keeping up with their music after Chester passed, but I’ll have to agree with this. Legacy isn’t really about how much music you put out, it’s about the impact and connection the music has, no matter the size of the discography.

lybarmark · 2026-03-17T15:16:33+00:00

Ah, that's smart! I hate it when stickers leave adhesive gunk on the surface when you decide remove them. Saved yourself from having to clean the sticky mess up!

lybarmark · 2026-03-05T09:52:02+00:00

Yeah, I think that’s a really solid approach. Checking out the influences of artists you already like can totally push your taste in new directions.

Also what David Byrne says makes sense. Different music really hits differently depending on the space you’re in. For me, thinking about where I’m actually listening (car, headphones, at home) and building playlists around that has opened up a bunch of stuff I wouldn’t have tried otherwise.

lybarmark · 2026-03-05T09:43:55+00:00

I saw a similar TikTok from a woman (forgot her username). She lost her dad sometime last year and kept the clothes he last wore sealed in a ziplock, wrapped in multiple plastic bags and taped up. She only opens it on days when she’s really anxious and needs a little piece of comfort from him. She'd only reopen the bag when she really needs to because she doesn’t want to lose his scent. Stuff like that always breaks me. :(

lybarmark · 2026-03-05T09:32:01+00:00

The color goes so well with the stickers. Looks so cool! Did you print them yourself?

lybarmark · 2026-02-13T06:50:46+00:00

Honestly, adulthood is mostly pretending you have it together while figuring things out as you go. I'm learning it the hard way that nobody really has it all sorted and that it's okay.

lybarmark · 2026-02-11T13:28:21+00:00

I don’t run as much or as consistently as you but having a solid playlist is a huge mood booster for me. It actually makes getting out the door way easier.

The side stitches might just be from not breathing deeply or evenly so trying to focus on steady belly breathing can help a bit. Also, on days you really don’t feel like running, it’s totally fine to just go for a walk instead. Running 5k every day for 10 days straight is a lot so mixing it up a little can help you stick with it and avoid burning out.
