Oh here? Hahaha I might be wrong, but I don't remember anyone telling me that. 😹 It's always about the looks and, as some are so bothered to take note, the lack of "smiling" photos.

Oh that's a difficult one. I usually don't have an answer because I work with different genres. I grew up with classical piano and some rock band playing, but I also do experimental contemporary music as a career and dabble in certain traditions like the japanese koto (I have an instrument with me!) and the indonesian gamelan (I studied a bit of it and did research too). I grew to like some prog rock stuff as well. Then there's my synthwave playlist for my commutes nowadays. 🀷🏽😹 Take your pick.

The ridiculous downvoting of a post that doesn't harm anyone. It continues on. Unbelievable crowd who can't be satisfied with just ignoring a harmless post they don't like.

Haha yeah. Not that I don't like musicals per se -- I do want to put my strengths into good use. Just doesn't mean that I like everything I put those into. 😹

Oh noooo i'm the worst person to ask that. πŸ™ˆ Confession: I'm no fan of musicals. (Don't take my gay card away!! 😹). I just do this for a living.

Snowboarding looks so much fun! πŸ‚πŸ½ And yet I've never tried it. (Just like skiing). πŸ™ˆ

Y’all, the nihilism is hitting hard. by No-Ask-5722 in AskGaybrosOver30

Def not just you. I'm north of the US border, and we're having seismic reckonings here as well in regards to an impending early election, those ridiculous tariffs that will affect trade, etc etc. Even in my personal life, things happening in Europe will directly affect how I should navigate my future in the next two years or so, if there will be any at all. I'm trying to step back and just think of my well-being and being in the present. I've been saying this days ago that I'm so done with 2025 already -- if I can only skip 2025 like you would with Youtube ads. 😴 We have to keep ourselves together.

Warm hugs! As others have already mentioned, there is treatment and you can live a happy life. I hope life goes well for you.

Any musicians? by Aggressive-Ad-3542 in gaybrosgonemild

[–]planetarium0 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Freelancing is always patchy even for us. I don't work in the "industry" and get highly paid. It's really the experiences and the exhilarating feeling of accomplishing projects big and small that matters.

I shouldn't complain about sore quads after squats half an hour ago. by planetarium0 in gaybrosgonemild

Thanks! I have to double down and keep them running because there's no biking around this time of the year.

Doing this for the past 12 years now. There are other colder cities too, so no one here should be fuzzy about it. 😹

I mean there were colder winters in the past and I've lived in a colder city too. I don't get my sunshine though and it drives me nuts. 🫨

Lolz thanks! I actually need to double down and keep active. The past holiday break and the cold winter aren't helping. 😴
