    I think it could be seen as “separate the art. From the artist”. Okay, yes, the artist is absolutely fucking horrific. But. If the music is alright, then it should be removed, especially if it helps others.

    One example of this from me is Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare. Whilst there is an argument to be made about Spacey, I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign of that game and will replay it every so often. This has happened woth music artists that I thoroughly enjoy. Whilst I can’t name any off the top of my head, I think one or two may have been on the worse side.

    There’s also a case for Elvis Presley, I have heard of bad things that he has done, and those are terrible actions, I do still enjoy his music.

    For a really extreme example, Hitler. His actions and opinions are vile. But he was a talented painter.

    My point being, I feel there is a case in Kendrick’s opinions of R Kelly that whilst he doesn’t support those actions, his views could be, fuck the artist, but don’t fuck the art.






  • How about hydrogen from water? Yeah, you need high amounts of electricity to get it, but, as one example, if it’s used in ICE engines, isn’t that significantly cleaner than petrol? And a lot less damaging than making lithium batteries? Once burned, wouldn’t it just react with oxygen to then form water vapour? And then, if it’s making water, that’s a self-sufficient cycle?

    I feel like hydrogen can potentially be a very good solution, but the technology needs to catch up massively. I mean, scientists are getting to on nuclear fusion reactors, and their yield seems a lot better than everything else. Even fission reactors.

    Also, I had this thought the other day, and yes, it’s extremely futuristic, with the right people in charge thought, but mining gas planets for the hydrogen. We’ll more than likely never inhabit those ones or use them for much, so we might as well use them for something, at least. At least before Dyson swarms become a thing.




  • Oh, good, I’m glad it helped.

    I will always suggest that if it’s not gonna cause other issues, get a bike.

    I won’t lie, I’m one of the types that does little dances on ot when the right songs come on. And singing. But somehow, I can still concentrate on it, it is really relaxing.

    You don’t even have to jump straight to the big ones. Even a 125, whilst it won’t give the full experience, will be more than enough to see if you can get on with them.



  • I’m gonna be honest. I find it really hard to describe the feeling. I’ll try, though, but I’ll try. Sorry if it doesn’t make sense.

    It’s not just a mode of transportation to me, at least. There’s an insane sense of freedom to it. The adrenaline from having sports car acceleration speeds just straight between your legs. It’s like when people say to play music as a coping mechanism. Only this mechanism isn’t just sitting around. It actively forces your mind off those things. Like, yeah, you’ll think about it. You may still have those megatove thoughts. But they just sorta melt away and get blasted away, almost. The raw sounds of the engine, only adding to it. Ot drains it all out, (If you like the sound, I personally have a stock exhaust, as thays more than enough, I really enjoy the sound of just amy exhaust, well, except the shitty tinny ones thay oiss everyone off. Or the unnecessarily loud ones)

    And the fact that you are sat on top of a solid block of steel, with thousands of explosions happening right there. Woth a fuel tank just above it. Kicking out insane power, even a 67hp 650cc. With pretty much nothing protecting you. One slight mistake, and it all goes tits up. But you’re in control of it. And it’s gonna keep you upright if you handle it. It’s relaxing. I also think it helps because you can feel what the bike is doing. Even with slight inputs.

    Keanu Reeves said, “If you ride a bicycle, you can kind of understand.”

    Sorry if thays too long and doesn’t make sense. And sorry if it’s kinda cringe. But, I truly do love the bike.

    (Also, from what I’ve seen, the biker community is insanely inclusive and nice. Even just riding past another rider. Just that simple gesture of “Hey man,” it makes you feel like you’re somewhere you belong)

    1: My motorbike - hands down my best purchase. That has single handedly done more for my mental health than the last 9 years of various anti depressants.

    2: My PC - the same as others. It’s just nice to be able to have the option to do just about everything.

    3: A car - I didn’t really buy this. My mum gave it to me as a first car. It’s not the flashiest. It’s just the most basic type. But I love it. I spent 23 years just putting off getting my licence until I just decided to get it just to get it out of the way. And I have missed put on so much by it. The sense of freedom, not having to rely on getting lifts, or getting public transport. (Not opposes to public transport. It’s just that where I live, it’s a pain for commuting)


  • I thought. If you change where the products are, or replace the products wkth different products. You can just keep it updated and change it over. But then I thought. Well, if you’re replacing the products, then you’ve got the door open. Then it’s literally no extra effort to just replace a piece of paper.

    Whereas here, you’d actually have to change it from a PC, and make sure you put it all in the right place.

    Yeee. I started smoking from anxiety and depression.

    10 years later, and now im stuck with an addiction I wish I had never started. It stopped doing anything for me quite a few years back. Very occasionally, it helps settle me. But like. It’s straight up not even worth it, when I can manage that lot woth literally anything else.

    Dude. Antidepressants have a side effect that says that one of the side effects of taking them, COULD be having suicidal thoughts.

    Not all side effects are related to the medicine you are taking. But, they could have been experienced form something unrelated, but to be safe, they have to add it onto their list.
