So he just doxxed a load of people? His PAC I guess. People are already parsing it with crawlers and found loads of names, addresses, phone numbers, and even social security numbers. This is going to backfire so hard

Hehehe, I've got something planned so it shouldn't be too long :)

 

EDIT: I just remembered I once uploaded this teaser on Youtube and never did anything with it, so here you go...

Good lord, please do more with it!

I just had a vocal session where every time the client stepped up to the mic to record, the signal would cut out either right away or after a few seconds.... [sic] After a few more tries of this, I go up to themic and sing some randomness. No matter how long I sing for, I cannot replicate the problem. Then he'll step up to the mic and immediately it will happen again....

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure I've figured out what the problem is. This particular singer expends a lot more air than normal when he sings. The problem can be replicated by blowing into the mic. For him, it consistently happens during harsh plosive sounds, regardless of volume. This leads me to believe the capsules on both my condenser mics need cleaning. The fact that it's a problem on both at around the same time is a bad coincidence. He and have done a lot of recording prior to this without incident. The far worse coincidence is the electrical fire in my board immediately after troubleshooting the mic. (We're using a completely different board now and getting the same problem.... no circuits burning just yet. He's renting a different mic, which should solve the problem until mine get cleaned.)

I will, I will... but I need to find a good singer... and they're fucking hard to find. Everyone sounds the same.

Man, that's weird. So harsh plosives sounds made the signal cut off?

trying to impress strangers on the interwebs

Soooo following on from my last first world problem post my ex is moving out of my flat and taking a bunch of stuff with her so I need to buy a new sideboard/TV stand, washing machine, fridge freezer, bed, mattress, kitchen shit, whatever else. I'm pretty annoyed she is taking so much because I paid the rent and bills for the past 3/4 months with only a tiny contribution from her and have always paid the majority. Since she has agreed to leave I don't want to kick up any more shit and will let her get away with it but I'm still pretty fucking annoyed. At least I get to stay in the flat because neither of us want to leave it.

Just got a custom's charge of £12.99 for my new Silky Saw.
I'm trying to negotiate for the tariff to be repaid with the Japanese company I bought it from, but he speaks in horrifically broken English and I can hardly work out what he's saying.
If I knew it was going to be this much of a hassle I'd have just gone for the Bahco Laplander.

Initial scans show no abnormalities, bloodwork will take a week or so to show results.

 

That's a huge relief. Still not sure why the sudden mega increase in blood pressure though..

Damn, today I'm sad. But this time is a special kind of sadness. It hurts, but it kinda feels already normal. Like, I actually know why I feel like this, and how I (actually) tried to avoid it but still, I can't "change" or "act more normal". Maybe I'm mentally ill?

 

After now having read your posts for years, I'm reasonably certain you possess the power to get over this melancholy sad-sack thing you seem to slip into so often. (Apologies if any of this comes off harsh; it is coming from a place of compassion). I wouldn't say this to anyone with these sorts of comments, but over time I have come to believe your issue is one of primarily self-confidence and willpower (or rather, a lack of them), among other issues. I could be entirely wrong, of course. But I have noticed that most often your complaints of sadness are extremely vague, and filled with self-doubt and an implicit request for reassurance. Have you seen a therapist, one who you can be honest with and who you trust? If not, find one. You really seem to need a proper outlet for this stuff. Many times I've noticed you'll project this sadness onto some vague issue outside yourself, like "the world sucks" or something. While I know those feelings, I cannot take them seriously, and I do not think you should either. These may be issues stemming from a larger mental issue, or they may just be something you need to toughen up about - it's impossible to say from only forum posts. And I only say any of this because this is clearly something you have been dealing with for some time, and I cannot see it ending for you any time soon unless you take action and see someone who may be able to help you or get you some sort of medication. That, or you can continue to regularly fall into this useless misery. These are deeply personal issues, and I hope you can overcome them.

 

You may have some sort of depressive disorder, or you may just need a swift kick in the pants. Find someone you can trust to give you both medical and emotional advice; I suspect you will discover quite a bit about yourself as you look into this. The only wrong approach is to do nothing and continue to feel bad and to project sadness onto others. That creates misery for them as well as for you, and it does indeed place a burden on those close to you. Not to sound dire, but that is the sort of thing that can slowly drive large wedges into relationships, and I suspect these moods will only feed back into themselves to give you more trouble in the future if you do not proactively do something about it. I'm not sure how much your moods actually bother you IRL, but I am coming at this with only your online posts as context. I may be taking it more seriously than necessary. Either way, be well, dude.

 

 

 

And Stephen, I hope you're alright, man. My thoughts are with ya.

 

 

Well, I didn't expected this kind of answer. Thank you so much, really. I'll try to explain my feels.

 

Basically, I feel lonely. But not lonely in the way of "omg I'm literally alone in the whole universe", no, but in the sense of that I can only make a "click" with very, very, very, VERY. few people (I only have 1 true friend right now (for me true=someone I can talk about my problems and stuff without shyness). I tend to have a really "dense" way of looking life (like, logical view instead of moral/superficial view), so most people gets scared or simply don't comprehend me.

 

If people think my statements are vague, well, absolutely all of them mean: I feel lonely. Please someone help me.

 

You say that I have the power to get over this, and guess what, I agree completely! In fact, I believe everyone have the power to change their lives for the good. I'm really optimistic about it, I even posted here a book I was reading about how to talk to people cuz I really want to "change" a bit for my own good. Also, I posted here too about how amazing 2014 was for me; I've been changing myself radically. While I was a child, I used to be so, so, so fucking shy, like, reaaaaally shy and quiet... In 2010 some stuff happened that made me think about it. So from it to 2014 I made stuff I didn't even thought I could do! Yes, lack of self confidence was/is a huuuge problem for me, but I really fought a lot to overcome it. I sometimes struggle, but I can certainly say I'm not as shy as I used to be. So yea, 2014 was amazing for me, personally and professionally, but then again, I had nobody to celebrate my achievements with. Yes, I have my family, but its not the same. One moment that actually depressed me a lot was when my cowriters (one of my achievements was to be a writer for a digital art festival (which you can see in my blog :) brought their friends, girl/boyfriends, etc to the final event... And surprise, I was the only one alone. Despite I actually invited some people, nobody went. And that's the shit that gets me, I know, I want to be more social, to enjoy life in a different way, but there's fucking something, I guess my bad luck! that fucking prevents it! Really! I know people create their own luck, and I try to create my own, but there are others circumstances I can't control at all. Also, I'm absolutely not the type of people that thinks "the world sucks", not at all; I know life is just life, neutral, each one of us are responsables of what we do with it, independently of our surroundings. I'm really thankful I'm not an african child (with respect), or having some sort of actual mental discapacity. I actually have a really good life, but then again, I have nobody to share my happiness with (apart from my friend). Also, apart from family and stuff, I feel nobody really cares about me :( even if I try to be more social and stuff, they either think I'm weird, or already got a social circle to laugh, love, etc. So yeah, the thing that really upsets me is: Despite trying and trying, despite really wanting to be more social, I still can't, I'm still the one who is left perfectly alone.

 

Yo, really, I just want to feel important to someone else.

 

And yeah, thanks for the advice about seeking professional help, but there's something inside me saying me that I can solve it, I just need to work through it. But I'll try it someday, maybe.

 

Also yes, Stephen, good luck.

 

 

Cool, dude... Sounds like you've thought a lot about this. And you're right -- good friends (and significant others) are very hard to come by - but don't lose hope. They are out there, and so are you. Eventually you will cross paths with them. =]

 

 

New FWP: Despite trying to make a conscious change, I feel like I've been an moderate asshole at work recently, and I think at least one of my bosses is losing faith in me in some capacity. I don't mean to do it but my tone sometimes accidentally comes off as irritated or authoritative, even when I just want to share something -- a truly lame FWP that I'll be wrestling with for years, I'm sure, lol. I also feel I am somehow getting worse at my job as time goes on, forgetting random things or making silly but hard-to-fix mistakes...which is frustrating to say the least. Everything is fine, I just feel like I've been making so many friggin mis-steps in my behavior recently, it's getting to me. The kind of inconsequential stuff that still somehow manages to keep you up at night. blargh.

Good news! Best to always check. Perhaps the spike in blood pressure was due to fear of having a brain tumour?

Damn, i get this a lot as well. I usually look pissed off or overly serious because i squint a lot especially in the sun so people think I'm mad when I'm really not.

Going through the usual breakup/heartbreak bullshit. It's funny cause, while I know this has happened to millions and millions of people, and I know how should I go about this, I still feel like shit and there's nothing I can do about it. I've read a bunch of psychology related stuff about breakups and such and it helps knowing that your situation and feelings are just as clichéd as they can get. But none of that helps when you go to sleep and she comes back from the back of your mind.

 

(trigger warning: I get embarrasingly whiny here for no actual reason)

 

This just mixes in with many other problems such as lack of social skills, living in a region with remarkably high unemployment within a country with remarkably high unemployment overall, lack of motivation in working torwards a degree in a field that highly rewards self-learning and individual drive over academic achievements and in which I don't see myself making a living in, not having a skill, hobby or ability that I feel like working on (which leads to too many years wasted browsing the internet for hours on end) and a preference of whining on music forums over actually working towards fixing completely defeatable issues in my life

 

 

Actually this has been more of an exercise for me than an actual post that I feel is worth sharing, but I'll just leave it here

Brother's girlfriend asked me privately if I'm autistic because she wasn't sure. In fact, most people ask if I'm autistic at some point or another, even my mom (who has had me tested). I just like solitude dammit!

I'm trying to be more social right now... its not that I like it, but I think sometimes it is really necessary.

Just reply "that's a very autistic question, how socially unaware are you? stop projecting YOU AUTIST"
