My son lives in another town It's been a rough ride for him. His mother was physically and emotionally ab*sive .She was 15 years older than me, I was 23 when he was born. I tried to be a good dad and stuck around but basically got terrorized by her. To cope I took dr*g's, so I couldn't provide a stable alternative until when he was 10 I went to rehab and got healthy. He lived with me for three years but went back to his mothers. She is older now so is less volatile and seemingly less of a threat.

He's been through a lot, he moved out for a while with mate but back with his mum. I text him most days but he never responds. He will call once every two weeks . His manner is very shallow and seems fake. He is in insurance and says life is good and living with his mother is ok, but at other times he has said he struggles and isolates and has thoughts of childhood stuff coming up.

He also talks about his friends or puts focus on me and never reveals what's really going on underneath. I try and redirect him to get him to talk about what he wants and needs instead of what is expected of him.ive always tried to help him be his authentic self. The problem is if I push a little bit (for example ask whether he still has plans to move to another city ( which has been his plan) he gets defensive. When he talks about his childhood thoughts keeping him up at night, if I suggest a counsellor he gets defensive. He says he wants to start playing music onstage, if I ask too many questions about that he shuts down.

But if I say nothing and go along with it, we have a chat and it's all very robotic and feels inauthentic and I feel like that's not the way to parent. My dad died when I was 8 so I love him and want to do what's best for him but I don't know whether I need to be really soft and keep the communication happening or challenge him where I feel necessary ( and then risk him shutting me off completely). I just worry about him and don't know which approach take. Thanks

Or plan a day ahead? Or are they completely in the moment.

Really poppy upbeat with folky instrumentation and a male singer with a high voice sort of sounds English or australian

The lyrics are ' he had a brother you know..he couldn't do it alone that man you know

And when you've got a little lie inside you gotta put your hands together and do it Alone'

It's been bugging me for years.

I think it's early 2000's

I know it's a meme and stuff but is it true?

If so wouldn't have that made James uncomfortable?

How many dames and young bucks has Grandad Dyldo banged with his big ol master of war?

Id say probably 200-300 by this point

Probably 80 men and about 267 slurries I'd say.

What do you reckon?

If it was big than Ringo's, maybe that why John killed him

I was younger by 15 years.

She was always calling out men in public and making scenes about domestic abuse against women.

I was confused because she was attacking me physically and verbal put downs often.

How many women who are publically feminist are actually like this?

Im guy in my forties and have PTSD, and have fried my brain from drugs.

I used to do mental health support work but I'm burned out from it and am fatigued and exhausted a lot of the time.

I'm building back my health slowly. I've been a bit of a mess due to grief and trauma and shit.

Anyway, I need some extra income though to pay back my mate and don't want to go back to looking after other people because it's draining. I don't really have many skills in other fields since I did support work most of my life.

Im a musician and I write songs and am committed to it, ( making albums and releasing them) but it doesn't pay much. no one buys music and I don't do covers.

Anyway, any suggestions on how to get some extra income when you're not 100 per cent healthy and not highly skilled in shit?

Thanks

Honest question. Not trying to stir anyone.

On the Gold Coast there are so many utes and trucks with tradies in them that cane everywhere ...rain, hail or shine...cut in front of you, flash their lights, act like cowboys...like they own the road.

What's the go with this behaviour?

Is it a certain type of tradie?

I'm just wondering why some think they are king of the road and drive so dangerously everywhere.

It's just something I've noticed.

I know you don't all drive like that.

And yeah I know some of you are gonna say get off the road then or that I'm a slow driver or whatever but that's not the case.

Just curious what the mindset is behind that sort of driving .

I've noticed a lot of well off white women these days seems to go on ans on about how hard they have it because of males and the patriarchy.

A lot of them are also bosses of their household , managers at companies, have alcohol and drug issues and behave however they want with seemingly little accountability.

While I understand and acknowledge domestic violence against women is still an issue which needs more addressing, I feel like the pendulum of feminism has really swung too far the other way where women who are actually quite privileged make a scene around being a victim when they are actually better off than most others in our society. Honestly it seems like a bit of a tactic to gain more social status and power while pretending to be some victim. And if anyone criticized them or points out that they actually have it better off than many others, they call you sexist or part of the problem. It all seems pretty daft.

Statistically speaking men are more likely to suicide, get murdered and or assaulted in public, more likely to be homeless etc etc.

And that's not including things like pretty privilege and the ' women are wonderful effect' - where you see women getting away with crimes and scandals because they are assumed to be innocent because they are female.

I think it's time we all stood up to the bullying of some white women in media and conversation around these issues they love to dominate and control the narrative all the while claiming to be victims and demonizing males.

The saddest part of a lot of these women have sons, and project their ridiculous ideology and fears onto them.

So I say stand up to dodgy men who are actually violent and creeps. Absolutely.

But at the same time we need to be more level headed when addressing these issues and not just lazily blame the entire male gender for the world's problems. It just isn't statistically correct and doesn't help our youth as they try and find their place in the world.

Genre this genre that, it's all you ever talk about now. You are fucking retards.

you dumb fucks think music is a fast food drive thru and you order your mchappy meal fucking genre and get your little toy and go home and suck mommy's cock in your safe space then fall in the toy box and it closes and you are trapped and yell out for mommy but she's not home , that's right she's being licked out by the mailman and he hates you.

you think Bob Dylan wrote music to fit a 'gEnRe' you sad illiterate bastard sick fucks?

no he made music from his soul you fuck stick.

bjork didn't make music for ' gEnRe' she explored new sounds and made art unique to her. it just happened to be LABELLED BY CORPORATIONS TO SELL PRODUCT

'GENRE' IS CAPITALIST TALK FOR WHICH AISLE TO PUT THEIR UNITS IN

everytime you talk about your favourite 'gEnReS' a major label record executive gets another sloppy blowjob from Cherry the stripper downtown AND ITS ALL YOUR STUPID FAULT.

so please...

love music. love artists. they are all unique.dont love genres. love yourself and your favourite artists.just don't use that word. because I will come around and lovingly shoot the back of your tiny balls out with an AK - 47 and you won't walk ever again.

you will be talking 'gEnRe' from a wheelchair in a nursing home with your legs in a Mexican dump somewhere.

Thanks for your time.

Like the title says, any ideas?

Thanks

I think I may have it but I'm not sure.

In your collective experience, what's the best method to get a thorough test to find out exactly if I have sleep apnea?

Like the heading says.

Thanks

I would like somewhere permanent to store the music I have made and someone recommended Arweave. Can someone tell me whether I am on the right track by being here, what exactly it is and how would I go about doing this. Thanks
