100%. My trap is layering too many sounds on top of each other because I've listened to the same loop so many times, it's easy for me to parse the different components. Then I come back after not hearing it for a few days and it's a bland mess.
Less is more!

my internet was going super slow. tried running some speed tests on my PC and it was maxing out at ~200-202Mb/s download with ~6-10Mb/s upload.
i pay for 200Mb/s but usually get 210-230Mb/s down and always ~20Mb/s up. i thought...the fucking bastards have made sure i only get 200Mb/s down now. logged into my router to run a direct to modem speed test. even though my PC is wired to the router i like to do this as it bypasses the PC ruling out some things.
these are the speeds i'm getting now!
as you can see i ran the test a few times and it wasn't a one off. logged into my ISP account and it seems they have increased the standard speeds from 200 to 250Mb/s.
not fucking bad! i'll take that. 200Mb/s is more than enough for me but it's about fucking time they increase speeds. i'm paying £40/month and in 5 months it'll probably go up to about £55/month. while i'd still like a lower price (and i will definitely still be calling them asking for one) it makes it a little easier to swallow getting faster speeds. so many fucking times i've got an email saying "lol your bill is going up but we promise we'll improve out network..." and nothing happens. so i guess this is something.

why not mix them better so all the sounds are small things you notice rather than stuff blasted to you at once?

I've been trying this no nut November, and the first thing I've noticed is I've been getting a lot worst at videos games. I almost died on the opening scene in GOW:R on give me balance difficulty. I keep falling in Death Stranding and fucking up my packages. I can't keep up In overwatch.
I would be super depressed if other parts of my life weren't also improving since I've started this journey.
I have more patience for my kids and fiance. I feel like I have more energy to get things done. It been easier to advocate for myself.
I've play videos games all my life, and it's scaring me to think that I may not be able to play them anymore.

I don't have a very well-devloped ear is why! Lol. I'm incredibly amateur and just do it for fun
I think I get what you're saying and I'll try and keep that in mind. Is the idea: "Hey, what is it you like about that sound in the first place, now weed out the unnecessary frequencies while retaining its character"?

I think GoPro should have a line of products targeted toward your average person. I want 4k, 120fps footage from the POV of a fat dude, sitting on his couch, eating chips and watching The Office.

What if you ate tinned peaches are your favourite. They also give you amnesia so you never got bored of them.

I ordered some of that Shaq-a-roni pizza from Papa John's and it's actually really good. I ate more than half the pizza on my own last night which is unusual for me.

i feel attacked by this comment.
wait that's not me...the office isn't on the netflix ad plan so i can't watch it!
can't even watch it's sunny. i'm going to need to go back to the ad free plan. there is only a £2 difference and two of my favourite shows i can't watch now and the ads are ridiculous. also 720p on a 4K tv is shit.

Folks, you can't take care of others until you take care of yourself.
You matter.
Rest, hydrate, limit social media. Go outside.

I'll add take a step back from the current reality construct from within you're (sub)consciously operating and take a deep breath. Or two.

I was watching an episode of "The first 48" and unexpectedly burst out laughing for a good 5 minutes.
The episode of course begins with the 911 call recording.
-Dispatcher: "911 where is your emergency".
-Man: "There's a dude flat on his back in the park. He ain't movin'".
-Dispatcher: "Is he alive?".
-Man: "Alive??" He then yells in the phone "HIS FACE IS FULL OF FLIES!!"
I know it's horrible but that last line was so loud and authentic

I think because I acclimatized to very spicey food over the last 24 months or so I find any food that doesn't have at least a bit of a kick to it super boring to eat.
I now have a 500,000 Scoville hot sauce at hand when I eat anything at home and use it on practically everything that isn't sweets or chocolate...
that's weird right?

I think I'm about to give up on love. I had my chances 5, 10, 15 years ago. It's too late for me now. I will die alone.

"Giving up on love" is the best thing I ever did.
Yes from 15 to 36 years old I had my share of long term relationships but when I was done with my last girlfriend in 1999 I knew that was it.
Not feeling mad or bitter, just done.
And that's ok.
Not everyone gets to live the dream of the house with the white picket fence, the perfect wife with 3 kids and the labrador sleeping by the fireplace.
And that's ok too.
I am so happy by myself that just thinking of that white picket fence makes me sick.
Alone doesn't mean lonely.
Even if you are surrounded by 50 loved ones and 12 Elvis impersonators as you die you will still die alone.
Don't think about that shit, just LIVE.
Call an escort and make her wash your dishes as you ignore her playing God of War Ragnarok then kick her out when she's done. You'll feel better!

That's pretty much exactly the point I'm at (minus the escorts). 37 seven years old, and thinking "yeah, it's probably not gonna happen". And maybe I don't really mean giving up on love, but on that idea of a family of my own. I've never really longed for kids, I've always thought that I'd only get kids with the right person or not at all, and if so that'd be okay too. Which is also why I maybe haven't really been working that hard to achieve it. Now I'm at the point where I'm starting to realize that the second outcome is rapidly becoming the most likely one, and I'm not sure I AM okay with it. But I will be, eventually. Some acceptance work to do I suppose.

From a biological standpoint you can still have kids. In that regard it's easier to be a man. Might be more stressful when you are older.
And age in general doesn't mean anything when it comes to falling in love. Might take you 5 or 10 more years for the right partner. Or it could be tomorrow. Who cares you will never be to old for this. Just don't force it.
I was single for nearly 4 years before I unexpectedly met my girl. I was also in a negative mindset regarding love at that time. Things just happen.

Yeah, I know it's not physically too late for me. But it will probably soon be too late for me to meet a girl young enough to still be able to have kids. Not that many girls below 35 or so (their chances to have kids go down pretty fast after that) want a guy who's past 40 I think. So maybe I still have a few years left, but I do kinda feel that if it doesn't happen before I'm 40 I'm definitely fucked, lol. Which might not be true either, it just feels like a hard line. And I still can't quite give up the idea of wanting it to be the first child for both of us, which of course makes it harder. Maybe that's the first idea I need to give up.
The thing is that I'm a guy who has always felt absolutely fine on my own. Preferred it, even. And that has probably contributed greatly to me now not having anyone. I haven't really been searching. I've met girls over the years, but nothing has lasted more than a year or so, and I've never lived together with anyone (since moving out of my parents'). I've always kinda had the attitude that "eh, if it happens it happens, and if it doesn't I'll be fine". But now, just these last few weeks, I've suddenly had these strong feelings of doom that "oh shit, it isn't just gonna happen, I've wasted so many years without really trying and will now die alone" (well, that's not completely true either, I have tried and been crushed a few times). Not sure why right now, but yeah. Maybe a combination of me having been a bit physically ill this fall (nothing serious, just a few different things that have made me feel down) combined with the cold and darkness of Sweden in November.
But also, I don't even know if I REALLY want kids. I'm very much an introvert who needs a ton of me time, and I've always (again) kinda thought that if I meet the right person I could imagine having a kid or two with them, but I've never longed for children as such. I think it might be more of a "if you don't manage to start a family of your own you have failed at life" thing.
Anyway, that's a big load of thoughts, lol. But thanks, your post lifted my spirits a bit.

Tried ice for the first time yesterday..
It was pretty good, but I don't want to become an addict because I see what they all end up looking like.
