A couple of people I follow on Twitter have anxiety/ depression. We chat by DM quite often about music and work etc. I've never had depression in my life and find it hard to relate to what they are going through and the struggles they must have. But at times it's hard to have conversations with them as they are just so glum and down and negative all the time. I try to see how they are doing and give them encouragement but when they consistently just negative negative negative I find it so draining. Am I doing the right thing by chatting to them and trying to get them enthused in life and to encourage them all the time? I feel like I bang my head against a wall talking to them
It's cool that you're trying to help them but some people frankly just want pity. If they refuse to help themselves and trap themselves in a revolving door of the same b.s. day after day, don't waste your breathe. Crack jokes and ask how they're doing but if someone doesn't want to help themselves, nothing you say will help. My friend is like that anytime literally anything goes wrong. He stubbed his toe once and thought it was broken and talked about killing himself as if a broken toe was the end of the world. I've stopped wasting my breath and just go with the very generic "shit will get better man." I've been doing the same song and dance for three years and the only thing that hasn't changed is that he refuses to put effort into helping himself. It's pointless.
Lol. I've also been doing it for 4 years now with this company. When i started out i made roughly 25k. But now i pull in about a grand a week or so, which has helped me with the opportunity to further my own music stuff.
Bought an official Hollow Knight hoodie, and the sweatshirt is super soft and comfortable, and the design looks amazing, but I just washed it and the print is already starting to wash off and fade. Cheap ass printing
Had 4 fillings replaced this morning. Now I’m at work and every time I open my mouth I know I’m destroying my tongue or cheeks because the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet
Taake cancelled their tour due to threats by antifa. Its such bullshit. Im not even a fan of Taake but the sjw left is going way to fucking far to ruin literally everything. This bands career is now ruined over one thing they did 12 years ago for shock value. Antifa literally cant tell the difference between actual nazis, and a band doing shit for shock value. Its so fucking frustrating.
No band from the 80s would have been able to make it today. In surprised Slayer isnt getting protests. Or all those punk bands who used to wear Swastikas to illicit a response.
This is why metal has become so sterile. Because anything remotely controversial kills your career.
There is a band here in Chicago that got heat from the diy scene because they had a song called "Space Sluts". They no longer perform that song live. Same band kicked out their guitarist because he was trying to talk to a girl on Instagram, and she accused him of harrassment. No proof, no screen shots, nothing. Didnt even give him a chance to defend himself, gone.
12 years ago the singer from Taake painted a Swastika on his chest at one show in Germany for shock value, and antifa has been protesting their entire U.S. tour because of it despite Taake explaining what happened, that they regret it, and that they arent Nazis. Antifa also accused them of being racists agains muslims because of their anti Islam stance, despite them also being against Christianity and Judaism.. Antifa has threatened them and venues with violence, so venues started banning them, and now Taake cancelled their tour. And the PC police metal cucks all support antifa over it.

It’s kinda funny in this social climate that nobody says jack shit about all these crass, misogynistic rappers. I heard a Lil B song once that was pretty much him just saying “bitches suck dick” over and over. I don’t get it
Jamey Jasta discusses that on his podcast with Blasko. They were wuestionjng where the hell the outrage is for someone like Cardi B making a huge amount off a stupid ass one liner in a song she repeats. I can’t temember what the line was but I know they were questioning why women were okay with that in rap/hip hop and pop but not other genres
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!

They didnt cancel the tour because of low ticket sales.
