the thought of me still having to live with my parents for probably the next 1-2 years fucking sucks, and on top of that i live in the basement. i can't afford to live on my own right now cuz of school loans and my friend who i was planning to move out with is out of the picture cuz she just bought a new expensive car. she wasn't very serious about living together in the first place anyway......

My mood has been cratering for the last two weeks and it's getting to the point where people around me can tell. I've untangled some of the reasons why I've been unhappy and it has to do with a lot of the well-meaning things people advise me to do that I take the wrong way. They always come off as suggestions for what to do but how are you suggesting solutions to the problem I haven't explained yet? I'm mentally exhausted when I come home and I do not want to do more programming, fix computers on the side, sell weed, take even more classes after I've finished grad school, earn a license, or start my own business. Those aren't answers; those are distractions. I don't have faith in the capitalist system, so I don't want to look for a "new job".  It'll be the same bullshit as the old job in a different sector for as long as programmers are underappreciated and treated as simple code to caffeine converters. I don't like working to line someone else's pockets, and the assertion that one must work for a living is troubling, and also at odds with the depths of laziness some coworkers descend to daily. You can't tell me work harder to find purpose and be happy when business analysts are laughing their asses off on their third Starbucks break of the day. I just gave a 40 minute presentation I didn't feel like giving and certain team members fell asleep, and I got so dejected the secretary at the front sent an e-mail to my manager and her boss because I couldn't find it within me to bother. In fact, I find the assertion that one must better themselves to find happiness at all is full of troubling assumptions about my values. I work hard and I'm not happy, working harder makes me unhappier, and when I come home I'm a zombie and I don't want to do anything. I haven't listened to new music outside of the mix tapes I've been given. Haven't played any new games since I bought em. My Switch is docked up to my TV and remains untouched. Don't even want to watch YouTube videos and that requires me to only pay attention. I'm kinda just walking through life trying to make it to the next day waiting for it to end. Depression is a bitch. If you are wondering why I've been quiet these last few weeks and not writing or doing much of anything, that's why.
 

inspirative never disappoints
 
 

i love the concept of minimalism but i don't think i can ever put it into practice.......
i like collecting things and i've got books and games that give me a source of inspiration. it's kinda hard to be minimal when you're an artist, unless you do minimal art or something. thankfully, i mostly do digital art at least.

Maximalism is objectively more fun than minimalism tbh

I highly recommend that for notes, papers, documents etc to either take pictures or scan them. I don't blame you with books, but I gave mine away to my local library, and now the ones they haven't sold, I can read any time.

There's a common misconception that you have to throw everything away, but you don't. You get rid of what doesn't bring joy and  meaning to your life to make room for what does. Now, I will warn you that you can go over board and get addicted to throwing things away. I had so many cds and games and DVDs in cases and threw away nearly every case (even my DALLE stuff), everything that I didn't intend to sell, but it felt good and I don't really regret it. You start small, get rid of stuff with no meaning or next to little or no meaning and go from there. I hope I've cleared things up a bit, no pun intended.

It's been a while since I cranked a Band Battle thread, but I thought this would make for an interesting match up! I've seen both Kizu and DIMLIM referred to as saviors of modern VK, but which band is MH REALLY feelin' the most? So, as always - which band do you prefer, and why?
 
キズ (Kizu)

Samples:

DIMLIM

hajime!!!

Don't forget Tomo and Takashi from Dadaroma, although they've calmed down they had a straight up romance going on in the early years of the band. 
 
I think it's unnecessary and annoying. It makes my eyes roll every time I see band members pretend kiss or whatever. It helps them generate some much needed income though, so what can I say. I'd rather see solo fanservice, like (again) Tomo from DDRM did that photoshoot semi naked with his bass. 

I never made a reply to this thread because I was too confused about my own thoughts and feelings to write anything, and I still am. But I do think about this thread from time and time and want to write something so I’ve finally decided that I should just let my thoughts flow out. But I do apologize in advance because this will be a really long post…
 
 
Again, I’m sorry that I wrote so much. I might have gotten too personal in some areas, which is kind of embarrassing for me to even write, but I felt like writing all this down could somehow sort out some of my thoughts and feelings. This is still kind of new to me because I never really talked about it with anyone. I’m still feeling slightly confused about it and sometimes I even feel like I’m making it all up.

Nero is amazing for uploading this video and speaking up. My friend and I experienced this recently and got called "ayashii" pretty much to our faces (they thought we couldn't understand Japanese). They asked us to show our resident cards, emptied our wallets and looked at the names on our credit cards. They also asked personal questions about my family. It was really humiliating but we complied because we didn't want to get in trouble. The real kicker was when they noticed my friend has a Yoshiki credit card and started talking to us about X Japan as if they were our  friends. It took all the restraint in the world to not tell them to go fuck themselves.
