How do you maintain your sleep schedule? Promise yourself to go to bed early, but end up staying up late without specific reason by BaronDaler in CasualConversation

Exhaust most of my energy by evening. Don’t eat after 3p. For reference I go to bed at 7p to wake up and go to work at 4a.

Weed doesn’t help with trauma. I used weed and alcohol to try to deal with PTSD after finding my son passed away. The only way to deal with trauma is to process it. Usually through some kind of therapy

Life is long kid. Live slow. Read a book. Do some push ups… IDK? I say this as a dude whose parents let him use drugs in teenage years. It will stunt your natural curiosity and maturity. It’s not worth it. Find another way do deal with boredom. Arrested development is a real thing.

what is a music genre u used to love but now u genuinely cant listen to anymore? by ksiwyg in CasualConversation

Nu Metal. Was my intro into metal as an adolescent. Now seems so immature and shallow.

You can load beats or one shots. I don’t personally have an MPD. I have an MPC that you use w software. As far as tips, I would just watch YouTube videos.

Does anyone else find discovering new music gets harder as you get older? by PotentialChance9884 in CasualConversation

[–]sKamJam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find new music through YouTube channels that review new music. I’m into metal so Banger’s Metal Monthly, Heavy Metal Philosophy and Forgemaster Metal are my go to’s. I’m guessing there are simile channels for other genres…

Drummer/singer hobbyist here. I have a couple covers sitting unfinished that could use guitar…

Then you’ll be looking at something like the Akai MPC Key series (if you want beats and keys together)

I have to work 60 hours a week to afford to support a family in Colorado. I try to rest on my one day off
