Again, this is just speculation but id say its more like 90%+ because of u getting ppl to like them.

Id say a part of that might be due to them sensing a bit of "redemption" from you coming back from a major rut. Id say whatever part of ur coworkers gravitating towards that is not dumb at all and I think ppl universally gravitate towards that for good reason.

I'll also say tho that u do have a tendency to make ppl like u for stupid reasons which I do think is dumb. I wasn't referring to ur coworkers specifically as dumb rather just ppl in general that like u for xyz reasons as being dumb/naive/gullible.

In other news:

I don't know how metal singers do it. I'm on the verge of losing my voice every session. I'm curious what effects they use too.

It appears live most use no effects at all. That's fucking impressive.

I'm mostly talking about the growling and screaming. I can sing just fine.

To actually delve into what hiems is talking about I don't particularly want to do it. He doesn't know me and to study why I am likable or unlikable is weird. It's like strategizing or reading the Prince by Machiavelli.

I take walks in graveyards, forests, beaches, mountains and I read philosophy. That's my trick. That's my strategy. I try to improve the state of my soul.

I'd rather discuss metal and Loco farting on an entire crowd. The band must have smelt it too. Lingering as they try to open the show.

I recognize Knocked Loose from that show you posted in the Unitarian Church. Excellent but not Exuvia. I watched it again and I am full of energy. I can't imagine actually being there. That video is amazing. I like that aesthetic. It's why Limbo is my favorite out of Inside, and Little Nightmares II.

That show is great but it doesn't have any of the songs off of that EP except the intro, and it's by far their best material. Yeah it's not Exuvia, not quite an atmosphere-driven band, different music for different moods. In terms of their talent within their respective subgenres they are both at the very top.

I had a drinking problem that could re-emerge at any point. I have an online communication problem. I communicate faster and more and sometimes reveal things that I should not. Byung Chul Han calls this hyper-communication and I think many people suffer from it. It is the nature of the beast. I naively believe that I can manage it better than in the past and maybe this is true but it could probably flare up at any moment including me even writing this. The funny thing is that this problem does not happen to me in real life when I am person to person. I seem to have quite good social skills in these settings. I do not talk faster or more the more we communicate and I don't ever reveal things that I would not want revealed.

Of course, I want friends and normal communication. Outside of AA. Outside of the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). That's been the struggle for like 5+ years. For much of yesterday and today I worked on an "experimental black metal" song. It is terrible but it seemed like something worth doing. I found out I don't really have expression with a growl and most of the time I don't want to scream. It was mostly chanting, spoken word, and singing with drums and an electric guitar and I sampled the rain today as it was perfect. I learned a lot about Reaper and I am a fan. I like it more than Ableton Live. There is an overwhelming amount to still learn but I will take it a day at a time. Same with the drums and same with the guitar and same with the vocals too. It amazes me everything I've learned on the guitar so far and I am still terrible.

i think in the end rikd has a kind heart so he is well liked.

U have big heart too so y don't ppl like u then lol

ppl do just not on LP lol

LP brings the worst in me lol,

Don't worry about it bud. Most ppl on here are petty and irrational. Just look at wobbly au. He was one of the most successful and smartest people on here but never got greenstar for some reason while the dumb rikd still has one. Nothing against longpie but if u gonna give him one should have given wobbly one.

I just saw they have tickets going for sale tomorrow night for a Montreal venue. So sick. I'm guessing it will be mostly the EP for this mini tour and I'm pumped.

That is sick.

The show caused a minor squabble with my mom. I don't really give a shit. My siblings won't care. In fact, they would encourage me to go to the show. I think my mom feels like I would rather go to some heavy show no one even has heard of versus like being a family all together or something like that. My parents want to go late Sept. or October and I told them I will be going early Sept. It's still a 10 hour drive or a flight + a rental car away. There is another venue 4 hours a way but I don't want to do that alone. I know of some people that are into heavy music here but don't know if they would want to do that drive or get a hotel room. The thing is it is rare to see a great band in their prime. Especially one with such a fantastic live show.

U and loco should start a band

If I were better maybe that is interesting. Proximity is also an important facet that we would not have.

You could offer a lift online to the closer venue and find a buddy that way

Yeah they are in their prime for sure, bucket list type of thing

I feel like if u guys started a metal band and did the ass 2 ass dildo from requiem for a dream that could really gain quite the following.
