Just a guy standing in front of the internet asking it to please not
Every Monday night I do a radio show. Most weeks I get about 15 people listening, and have had to work really hard to stay at a place where I’m happy that it’s as many as that.
Time is fleeting, we don’t get back what we’ve used, so it blows my mind that 15 people choose to spend two hours of their week listening to my bullshit. Sure, I’d like it to be more, but I’ll take what I can get.
They’re worth checking out, because they’re fucking great.
We Live Here is incredible.
I’m on 60mg Elvanse (I’m 140kg…)
While it does work for me, I have to be really careful to eat properly, get a moderate amount of exercise, and make sure to get on with work tasks. Otherwise I end up hyperfocusing on the wrong shit. Suddenly four hours have passed and while my Linux installation might be running like clockwork, I’ve not actually done anything productive. Happens far more often that I care to admit.
Of course!
You have to keep applying it. It’ll happen.
I was studying for a radio production degree exactly at the point where radio station budgets were rapidly shrinking, while podcasting was growing. But obviously the degree course didn’t really have any podcasting in the syllabus because it was relatively new. Home streaming wasn’t really a thing at that point either, so we go no tuition on how to set up our own output.
Radio is massively different now than it was then. So yeah, I hear ya.
Radio production.
Got a degree, moved to London, applied for loads of jobs, and… nothing.
Trouble is, I needed to be paid, and at the entry level it’s all unpaid internships and volunteering at community stations. Unless you know someone who can get you through the door, of course.
Stuck with making a podcast in my spare time for a few years, but ultimately lost the spark.
These days I work in health and safety management and stream a radio show every Monday night that about 15 people tune into live, and 30-odd people listen to on Mixcloud. It makes me no money, but I enjoy it.
Get thee to messenger.com then. Save it as a PWA and its like having the app but you give Meta as little as possible.
You were probably better off keeping it on Mint at this point. My M2 Air is the only one of my Macs that’s still running macOS, and that’s purely because I need it to have dual monitor support, which Asahi still hasn’t cracked.
I feel ya man, but it’s hilarious that the only way to properly recover from this was by using OCLP. That’s amazing.
Valocipastor is a bona fide masterpiece. Quietly confident that the sequel will also be fun.
Ha, good guess on my part, or game recognising game…
Depending on how much people think they’re worth, I could probably overhaul and mod 6 iPods.
My other hobby is my little radio show. €1000 would set me up with a nice new controller/mixer, a half decent new second display, and a bunch of sound proofing for my studio. And that would be nice. I’m happy enough with my mic and headphones that I already have.
So, is your ADHD medicated?
I’m English and agree with OP. What we’ve done to countless nations over the past few centuries is fucking deplorable, all in the name of racism and wealth hoarding. Sure, it was nothing to do with me, but Brexit tells me that I’m surrounded by fuckwits who would gladly oppress other countries all over again in the name of British ‘superiority’.
Did you know that independence from British rule is the leading cause of national holidays across the world?
I’m 44 and am really quite sick of having to be aware of drinking enough water.
Until just a few short years ago I could just crack on and not think about it. If my mouth was dry as Gandhi’s flip flops, I’d have a drink, otherwise I wouldn’t think about it.
Now I start to feel like shit, and can’t figure out why, until I remember that i’ve only had a pint of water today and could probably stand to drink some more.
It’s bullshit.
I heard that when he moved to Hollywood he had to go door to door to tell everyone he was a pederast.
I end up dribbling because the lid gets in my way, but it’s fine because I’m helping to offset the pollution caused by a billionaire’s private jet.
