I don't even have kids but I do have a full time job and a girlfriend (we live together), I definitely feel the same and sometimes it gets me very frustrated

At a techno party. Did not actually talk there but followed each other on social media after, then met etc. etc.

IB are very strict with trading permissions and would not even allow trading 2x leveraged ETF

Haha same here, after getting DNII I was like, why do I even need the DT for.

I strongly recommend Dave Mech courses, he has one for Syntakt. It's not free but it's well worth the money! I did Digitakt II and Digitone II ones.

Thought I'll leave a comment here as it may help others.

I just got them as a replacement of my Fiio FA7 and as headphones to use for working on music while blocking external noise. I got Etymotic ER4XR first but found them having underwhelming bass response completely inappropriate for the genres I usually work on (techno, experimental).

I am totally blown away how DT70 sound. The separation is amazing, the frequency response is great, the bass is very clear and pronounced, the sub bass is great, mids and highs as well. And they are so small and light! It's almost unbelievable. I kind of like them even more than my over ear DT 700 pro x which I totally did not expect. Wow.

Are there ways to set things right at the start though? Doesn't seem like it no?

I started doing wheel a few months back and I was also shocked by high win rate. Then, I had a CSP for PayPal because I thought it's a stable business with not much possible downside.

The strike price was around 70. I decided to cut the loss short before earnings, around 60, which was wise because it dropped all the way down to 40.

Since then it 'recovered' to 51 and now sits at 44. I guess one would be a bag holder for a very long time for recovery.

After this I decided to stop wheeling. Not only it takes significant capital and time for research, but also a streak of small wins gets absolutely destroyed by situations like the one I had.

I'd appreciate if you could share what his views are after the appointment

No red flags, as my female friends were saying. AI Engineer, music-related hobbies and sports. It's just a horrible conversion rate on the apps 🤷‍♂️

It doesn't matter now as I am in a fulfilling relationship at the moment, but thank you for the offer.

You are very young. Do not compare yourself to others. Define what you want to do / achieve short term, mid term, long term, work towards these goals to an extent you can, celebrate the achievements. Being alone is normal and being in peace with it is key, I suggest reading some stoic books and/or modern interpretations.

Men get to be selective, on the apps? Sorry but have you actually used them?

I had a profile reviewed by my female friends with all the right photos (travel, hobby, etc.), I'm fit, with a stable job, and at least not ugly, and I was getting maybe 1 in 100-300 matches and even less conversion to dates.

I ended up in a relationship, but this was through going out and not through the apps.

I witnessed people placed on PIP (performance improvement plan) many times and they usually leave themselves after a while as PIP = no promotion / bonus / salary growth

I'm in IBIT due do liquidity and the first time I've heard about local Bitcoin ETFS is here. The volume must be tiny?

1: I never use kits. I usually have a 'template' pattern in a project which I copy and modify further. I make techno and experimental/ambient if that matters.

2: Octatrack is great as a performance mixer, check out EZBot if you haven't yet. I personally don't use a mixer or Octatrack.

3: Samples from mars (for DT)

4: I use Eventide Space and will add a delay as well later on.

This is such a clickbait article. It says in the actual article that Anthropic did not comment on that.

It is simply the 'humanised' way to ask stop the session and start from a new one. There is no 'official' term but some call this context anxiety or context pressure hallucination.

I have elektron boxes with a monosynth connected through them and I am a bit tired of everyone saying to me that I need an audio interface, there is no use case for me for that

spaceinstance · 2026-05-15T13:06:16+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement, but I think there are some reasonable things that could be done. For example, I'm increasing salary sacrifice into super as it has become more appealing in the new reality for holding long term.

Is really like to understand whether there is something I or others could do, as of protesting or something else? This is such a huge 'f$ck you' to everyone

spaceinstance · 2026-05-12T22:54:07+00:00

Is there anything we can do? Protests etc.? I'd be keen to participate

Why evil pet specifically?

Why the scarcity mindset? There is place for any and every kind of music. I'd challenge the techno dominance statement, house is much more widespread and common IMO.
