Hello! Any recommendations for venues I can go to listen to metal/grunge live music? I want it to be a venue with a good sound system and possibly good energy too.
If anyone is interested in coming along give me a shout :)
Hello I need someone to create pictures for me. Around 20. Of the same people. It's not mature content fyi.
I'll pay for a trial image
I've been listening to it a lot since it came out.
The songs blend in with each other extremely well, and it's extremely cohesive as well. The music is relatively mellow so it's good background music. Very easy to listen to.
My favourite for now are freak-warning signs and petal. However bad things is pretty catchy too.
I love freak because it reminds me of Grimes or HANA. Dream pop type of music. I find the song to be pretty ethereal. I love petal because of the more "rock" instrumentals and the melody is so catchy.
Having said all this, I find that what makes the album good (mellow music, all coherent), is what makes it bad too.
For comparison I went to listen to Billie Eilish HMHS and each song is a story of its own. Each song has a distinctive character, while still working cohesively within the context of the album. The production is pristine. Leading vocals are crystal clear, and the layered ones are perfectly blended in. All the different instruments are also clearly defined.
I know she is an Imogen Heap fan, and I can see she was heavily inspired by her here. And I don't like Imogen Heap for the same reasons I don't like some elements of this album.
Overall I'm not disappointed, and I'm enjoying it, however I think it's a mid album with some highlights. And I appreciate she's steering away from generic pop music and doing more of what she likes.
I think the criticism about the lyrics can be fair because everyone has an opinion. But people forget to appreciate that at least it's her own work instead of someone else's.
I feel like this woman can't catch a break no matter what. I appreciate she's trying to use her own words.
My hair gets like this when it grows at around this length. I put no products in. What type of hair is it? Wavy or curly? How do I keep the texture without air drying? Because most times I need a hairdryer but then it doesn't come out this way
They are giving cheap emo goth lingerie/Tim Burton style with a sprinkle of grandma.
I'm all for goth style or corsets but this doesn't look right. They feel very stiff and boring.
I understand she doesn't want to wear what she used to, but I think she went too much in the opposite direction in a bad way.
I can't find videos of them together
I'll start by saying I don't think I have low self esteem or self worth. I have a lot of friends that I know care about me (although sometimes I feel I'm more loyal and attached than they are). I get a lot of attention from men, anywhere I go people love me and my energy. I get very nice compliments such as I make people feel comfortable, that I'm unique and peculiar. Some people told me I changed them or left a very strong impression.
I'm not saying all this to brag but to give context. Because often fear of abandonment is associated with low self worth but in between my own opinion of self and others opinions, I don't think I relate to not feeling loved, unlovable or not liked.
However, I still get very anxious about being abandoned. I feel like no one ever loves me the way I want them to.
I get attached very quickly to people and I'm scared of losing them and never seeing them again.
Recently I met a guy. We had a 3 days bender, partied, had sex, went for dinner all in 3 consecutive days. He was nice and I enjoyed his company, I'd like to see him again but I am not necessarily head over heels. I also don't really care to have a relationship right now.
However, while before meeting if he took 1 week to reply I didn't mind, now I'm more vigilant, and every message I'm convinced is the last.
I don't even care that much about him. But I still get triggered a lot and my mind goes straight into thinking 'ill never hear from him again' or 'he is not interested in me as much as I am' which makes no sense because realistically I'm not that interested either, I'm just activated which makes the interest seem stronger but in reality, if my emotions were well regulated, I'd be lukewarm about the situation, just open that it could develop into something more maybe but also not desperate. This is my logical brain saying this. But my emotional brain is screaming at me that I'm worried he's disappearing and that I'll never get to see him ever again.
How do I stop this? It makes me feel obsessed with people I don't even know.
Edit: he didn't actually take 3 weeks to reply, sometimes less like a week or a few days. But still long enough that I forgot he existed lol
Me and this guy matched 2-3 months ago on hinge and we exchanged numbers. He took around 3 weeks in between texts but I'm pretty chill. I don't care and apparently he was travelling so whatever. At one point I did say tho if you want to meet you need to reply within the next 2 business days lmao and he did. So we ended up meeting.
​
We went out, got drunk, partied with one of my friends. We went early morning for a swim in the sea. After, I went to his, had sex and we slept through the day. We went to have dinner then slept more. This morning he took me for breakfast and eventually we spent 24+ hours together. All good, I don't usually do that but he seemed nice. We had a lot of laughs during our night out/partying. It was overall a good experience.
​
I texted him thanking him, he does the same and asks I'm free tonight as well to go out.
​
I said yes but then he disappeared. Originally I thought he was still hangover and probably just fell asleep, but it's been 10+ hours since he asked to go out and it's past 2am here so obviously it's not happening. I don't think he just fell asleep but something else happened.
​
I'm not mad but I'm a bit confused why someone would ask me to go out the same day we just separated, for then just disappear.
​
What's your thoughts?
​
My impression of him was that's he's kind, he is socially aware, he can be thoughtful. Maybe he's slightly awkward or shy but nothing major.
​
I'm not sure how I feel about this tho. What would you think?
I'm 32f, mostly heterosexual.
Bob the builder - vsauce, YouTuber that talks about cool shit - Dr Gary Linkov, YouTuber that is a plastic surgeon - Thom Yorke in the 90s, frontman of Radiohead - Billie Joe Armstrong in the 90s especially in his infamous performance when he was on meth, frontman of Green Day - Wizard from Howl's moving castle
How do I incorporate in my spells the implication that no one is harmed in the process?
​
This could be about anything.
​
I usually just simply say "no one will get harmed" but I'm wondering if there's a different way to do it
This album was supposed to be about healing, a flower through the cracks (???), but the anger of the video + the lyrics deflecting blame don't seem very healing.
I love the show and it's an easy watch, but it does get a bit repetitive or silly at times.
The best episodes for me were the ones where they interacted more with the real world. These episodes felt deeper and there was more tension.
For example when Piper gets infected and goes to the hospital, when Phoebe gets arrested in the future and there is a witch trial, when Piper is again in hospital lol S3 E22.
There are probably some more of these but you get what I'm saying
I'm trying to paint this with gouache, and I'm not quite sure what the problem is. I keep getting a lot of uneven texture and it looks very patchy. Some parts are more transparent than others.
Also, side note, I would like to create some textured grass in the foreground, and I'm really not capable of creating that either. I would like to know what to do to make it better.
I know some people suggest creating a cream-like consistency with gouache. However, I find that really difficult. It doesn't flow on the paper very well and becomes very thick very quickly. But then if I add more water, it becomes very thin.
I also feel like to achieve that consistency consistently, I would need to use a huge amount of paint, and it feels a little wasteful.
So yeah, I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. Can you please help?
Not unhappy but not happy either. Structure is different and shading isn't as smooth as I wanted.
I've never done this kind of stuff before. Usually I paint abstract things - like blobs of colours, I call it intuitive art.
I am joining an atelier in August and I started today to practice
Hello.
I work in an environment that is toxic (in a restaurant). Some people really like gossiping constantly, make passive aggressive jokes, tease, provoke etc.
I don't take it personally. What they think of me, I don't care. I also understand very well why they behave a certain way.. however, their behaviour still hurts me because they demand my attention. They keep spewing negativity at everything, at me, other members of staff, at guests, and I absorb it. If I try to stay neutral, they pick up on that, they are pretty sensitive themselves and try to over compensate my neutrality by being extra nice (in a fake away).
I wish I could be completely indifferent to them. But I am a very sensitive person and I pick up so much on their negativity.
