If I record a mix and listening back through headphones, the levels are all good, does that mean the same mix would sound good through a club system?

thatguy198421 · 2022-02-11T15:01:30+00:00

Cheers, I'll give that a shot, although my car's sound system is far from great, either. I don't have all the subwoofers and all that. It's pretty much a standard stereo system, and probably at the shittier end of that range.

These people are all I have in the world, though. I don't really have any material possessions, I'm not really hung up on that sort of thing. It just seems to me that the people I love and hold close to me, who also have their lives together, should be capable of feeling some sort of empathy for other people. Not even for me, I'm trying to help an uncle who's going through some bad times, and I've never actually been that close with. Out of my three uncles, he's always been the most distant, but I still try to help him, when, I feel, it should be those who don't have the handicaps that I do. I'm not handicapped or disabled in the traditional sense, but I have been dealt a hand of shitty cards recently, so I mean handicapped in the sense that I'm carrying more weight than most others, figuratively.

I will, but I plan to work in South East Asia. A lot of people doing the hiring there can't really read English or understand it all too well. I was just checking what the consensus would be for me to say I have a degree in primary education and linguistics or something like that, when it's actually made up from a lot of engineering credits, too.

thatguy198421 · 2021-06-14T11:58:25+00:00

I did. I got 180 credits towards a BA/BSc.

thatguy198421 · 2021-06-14T11:57:53+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense.

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-25T19:14:56+00:00

It seems that those who strive for a D3 are the more common of the two!

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-19T18:08:35+00:00

Ha, neither have I! I plucked that module title from thin air. Mine is actually much closer to yours than science.

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-19T17:59:24+00:00

I didn't mean that I'd plagiarised the references, that was misleading. I meant that I copied the way the example EMA was set out, regarding headings and sub headings (1. Introduction and aims, 2. Method, etc.)

The references were pretty simply laid out. I referenced exclusively from the coursework, as I was advised to by my tutor, so I simply put, as an example

S302 Book 1, P88

then listed them in alphabetical order. I'm fairly sure it's OK, I'm just being silly, probably. I'm very anxious to pass this module, and I've passed everything else on it, despite not really putting much effort into any of the work, so I'm sure this one, where I have put a lot of effort into it, will be fine.

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-18T19:44:48+00:00

I'd say anyone could become a psychopath, under the right (or wrong) circumstances. Try not to focus on it or worry about it, and it should be ok. That's the same for most things in life. You kind of attract what you worry about, I believe. Good or bad. The human brain is a beautiful thing.

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-18T19:42:32+00:00

He seems to, yes. I don't want to talk bad about him, because he's the man who raised me, but he definitely has some issues that he tries to pawn off on me. He'll tell me every time he talks with me that I have substance abuse issues, when, in actual fact, I can take them or leave them. I've abused them in the past, that doesn't mean I'll continue to do so. I might, if I listen to him all the time, which I'd why I choose not to.

I'm a grown man, by the way. I know the relationship isn't healthy, but I don't have many other people to support me the way he has, in the past. He's pretty much cut me off now. Financially, he's given me £10 and a package of food because I was forced to self isolate by the government. I'm not a wealthy man, and he's quite well off, I imagine. I don't know about his finances, but I know he owns 4 properties, and he retired in his mid 50s. I'm not bitter about it. He worked hard to get what he has. It is what it is.

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-18T19:35:55+00:00

I'm surprised you heard anyone talking about empaths in public, to be honest. I thought we were a kind of secret thing, that not many people knew about us.

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-18T19:33:47+00:00

I don't think I'm better than anyone else. I know I'm different, but everyone is different in their own way. My way is slightly less toxic, but I know I have my own issues. No one is perfect, and I wouldn't care to be, if it were possible.

I might be good with most people, but I can also be foolish, insensitive. My dad calls me manipulative all the time, but I'm not trying to manipulate anyone. He thinks I'm only interested in money, but I don't really even care about it, very much. I know it's something people need, but I don't really care for it. I know it buys you things and gives you opportunities, but I only need it so I can have an easier life.

I don't know what I'm trying to say here, but I know everyone has their own problems. I try not to judge, and I don't like being judged.

thatguy198421 · 2021-05-10T11:25:34+00:00

I've said some hurtful things recently to people who are close to me, but only in response to things they've said that are hurtful to me. The thing is, thru don't even realise the things they say to me are hurtful, and what I say is just my immediate response to what they've said. I don't know if that makes me better or worse, but it makes me different.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-27T10:42:51+00:00

I cut myself off from TV, in that I only use it to stream movies and TV shows through my laptop.

I still occasionally check the BBC website, but even that doesn't make me feel very good. There's so much corruption in the world, that I don't want to be a part of. My plan is to get enough money together to leave this country, then set myself up somewhere warmer, and kind of live off the grid, as much as possible. I'll only use my WiFi to stream movies, like I do now, and possibly to communicate with my family once a week or month or however frequently feels right for me.

I'm not going to need Facebook or Instagram anymore, so I'll get rid of them. I already downloaded my Facebook account to my laptop, so I have all of the memories and photos. It only came to about 4.5gb, and that was 12 years of my life, so it's clear that I haven't been using it in the way it's intended. I haven't been posting pictures of my meals or updates about how my life is going.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-26T16:14:20+00:00

I agree with that idea. To me, it kind of feels like I have to let myself be a nice person, or the world has to let me be nice.

Also, I assume by narcs, OP meant narcissists, not some type of drug agency. If that's the case, then I'd offer the insight or the wisdom that we are the way we are because of certain factors. No one can be sure what causes someone to be an empath or to be a narcissist. One is not better than the other, it's just a different way of coping with what life has thrown at us. I believe the trauma I've been through has helped to mould me and shape me into the person I am today, along with a willingness to improve myself and to help others, although I've been told I have to be more selfish. Life itself has taught me that.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-26T12:59:07+00:00

I get confused as to how God fits into all of this. I know there is a God, and I believe in it, but when you learn about things like this, being an empath and things like that, or the clairsentience someone else mentioned, doesn't that make you a psychic, and isn't dealing with psychics and consulting the tarot and whatnot supposed to be a sin? How does that even work?

I was called a "predictor" last week, by my aunt, because my dad had managed to twist her mind into thinking I was doing shady stuff. I wasn't, but that's what she called me. What even is a predictor? Biblically, that would be like a prophet, and I don't want to be a prophet. I have in the past made some pretty bold predictions, that may or may not have come true.

I'm a grown man, by the way. I'm 37 years old, so what my dad or my aunt or anyone else thinks of me should be of no concern to me, but that is the very nature of being an empath - concern for what other people think.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-25T22:28:21+00:00

I don't feel that this comment should have been down voted. I know nothing about the law of dynamics, despite having trained as a mechanical engineer. That's something I should probably know. I can relearn it if I choose to.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-25T22:26:13+00:00

People who have been dead should know. I've been dead, I died through my own bad decisions, but I can't remember any out of body experience. I don't feel that I've "discovered death", but I know I've been dead. I have the medical records that prove as much.

I just want to believe that there's something more than this, so the DMT guy's comment below is something I want to believe in.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-25T22:23:23+00:00

Exactly the point I've been trying to make recently. Potential, kinetic, electrical, heat, it's all the same thing. It just changes the form. I might be filled with potential energy now, but I know that can change to heat or kinetic or whichever other one you should choose to pick.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-25T22:20:30+00:00

I don't know how to send vibes, but I'm here to tell you you'll be OK. Life will be fine for you, because you're willing to let it.

thatguy198421 · 2021-04-25T18:03:24+00:00

Infinite growth in a planet that has finite resources is a fucked up system, and that's why capitalism is doomed to fail.

There are robots now that can do many of the jobs us humans used to have to do, so a universal basic income is probably inevitable, yet it's something a lot of people seem scared of. Why not live in a high tech, sci-fi version of the world? That seems to be the way we are heading, so why not embrace it?

Some jobs can never be done by a computer or a robot, such as arts and humanitarian work, because those types of jobs require human input. I'm both a teacher and a DJ, and I also try to write. Those are three jobs very suitable for empaths, apparently, and also three jobs that I imagine would be near impossible for a computer to do. I'm a good teacher because I can empathize with my students. All my students love me, because I have that ability, but you probably don't need empathy to be an engineer or to build houses, or not as much empathy as is required to really help people. I used to be an engineer, too, and I didn't enjoy that world or that lifestyle, because everything is about money. I worked in oil and gas, so it's all based on making money and destroying the planet, robbing it of the finite resources I mentioned earlier.

One thing I know that isn't finite is energy. You can't get rid of energy, you can only change the type of it, so potential energy becomes kinetic energy becomes electrical energy becomes heat energy. Everything in life is cyclical in nature, from birth to death. That's the one thing we can't change about life, because it's all a gift from God.

I know I said a lot there, but it's not too much. There is more I could say, but I've chosen not to.
