    Don't worry, you did not offend me.

    I'm not the praying type but I appreciate the sentiment. Pray for me if it gives you strength but he is already gone.
  3. Hi friends! An idea was brought up in the chat by @ChaoticEnding about a trade section on MH. For the purpose of this topic, trading is essentially bartering and limited to Japanese music. (informal) trades can be thought of as trading that happens via private messages. (formal) trades would be to create a topic on the forum so that members can start trades publicly (and then of course trade the links privately). Right now there is no mod oversight for informal trades. We can discuss the expected amount of mod oversight for formal trading. Essentially, it's whatever you have to offer versus what you have to give away. What do you guys think about this proposal? Here are some potential questions I brainstormed to get some discussion going. Do you think publicly trading for releases on MH is a good idea? Do we need a new sub forum for this or will download forum be ok? Will trading incentive good behaviors / bad behaviors? If both, does good outweigh the bad? Would you engage in trading if it became more common on MH? Would you trade visual kei? J-indie? Pop? Other? Do you think this is good for the online international vk scene? How would trading affect MH? Should trading be open to all members? Special rank? Certain # of posts before you can trade? What releases do you think are most likely to be traded? What should the moderation team be expected to do if one person doesn't send the promised songs?

    I don't think there's anything to be gained from hook ups or one night stands. Call me old fashioned if you want, but I don't necessarily look down on promiscuity. I know it's something that's not for me because sex without passion for the person whose guts I'm inhabiting is as pleasurable as burnt toast. Let's forget about the "cold pizza" analogy altogether. But I do believe there is something to the idea that you give a bit of yourself to someone when you have sex with them, and they give a part of themselves you in return. It is harmful to send emotions out and not have them reciprocated, especially during something as vulnerable act as sex. I've yet to meet a person who was promiscuous in their young age and doesn't regret it now, and I know quite a few people who have body counts over 100, 200, even 300. (body count = number of sexual partners) They all recommend not being promiscuous and describe the experience as short term pleasure but with a long term lack of satisfaction. On the other hand, I'm not a total prude about it. I'm not into slut shaming. Sex before marriage is generally a good idea, because sexual compatibility and being able to coexist is important for a long term relationship. How you enjoy it is equally as irrelevant to me. I just suggest not rushing it, because your first sexual experience can effect how you approach it for the rest of your life.

    "If she's one in a million, there are 37 of her in California." I don't remember where I heard this quote but it changed my perspective on life. Dating too, but life. I've been in a relationship for almost seven years, so I've been out the dating game for some time. Even if I was single, I'd have no tangible advice to give. I wasn't exactly attracting throngs of women to me for being myself, and that may have been a blessing in disguise for me. As I grow older, I realize just how toxic and damaged so many people are, and inviting that kind of energy into your life only brings negativity. The only thing worse than feeling single and alone is feeling lonely in a shit relationship.

    None of these are rumors.

    This is the most active band I hear nothing about. I'm not silly enough to believe that we have anything to do with the complete radio silence on Initial'L. Lycaon was around for a few years and they were known and loved by many. I also believed that they "disbanded" to get away from their label, and Initial'L was simply the continuation of Lycaon. I know they didn't part ways with their label very well as Lycaon, but usually new bands that form from the core of an existing band keep some momentum. This is a notable exception. Are these guys blacklisted by a portion of the industry or something? It doesn't make sense that they've released all this music and I didn't know about anything past their second single until right now. How depressing a turn of events. I used to love these guys. I still spin early Lycaon on occasion. I like Yuuki's voice when he doesn't force it. I just can't get into a majority of their post-eve stuff.

      The other night I was listening to Chedoara while driving and my window was just barely cracked... and the whistling of the air rushing in sounded a lot like the high-pitched screaming that dude does sometimes.

    I've had them for a few years. I've got the HD 600, the Corsair VOID RGB headset, ATH M50xs, the HD 518's and the HiFiMan HE 400, and the 600s are my favorite pair to use. They sound just as good as the planars and they're a lot lighter on the head. Velour pads are a god send for long listening sessions in humid weather. That's why I ended up modding those headphones and not a different pair that I barely use. Never had the pleasure of owning a tube amp, so I can't say how they sound with those, but the Magni/Modi 1 drive them just fine. Sound very neutral and that can either be an excellent thing or a bad thing, depends on if you like flavor in your music. But honestly that's something a bit of EQ can fix. I like the neutral sound, even if it can be a bit revealing at times.

    Speaking of Schiit stacks, @colorful人生 inspired me to get my own Magni/Modi set up. I was having trouble getting Windows 10 to recognize the device as something that plugs in but doesn't communicate with it. I think I need to avoid USB 3.0 ports or something because the Magni/Modi 1 doesn't play nice with them. And here's what it's attached to, Sennheiser HD 600 with a Modmic Wireless attached.
  18. yep they played all six of their songs twice or smth

    That whole album was recorded on $10 earplugs Die picked up at the corner store. Someone passed me a copy of The Insulated World that they did where they adjusted a few things and the end result was so much better. Not good enough to fundamentally change opinions on the album, but enough to make me wonder why that wasn't done before the album was pressed. It only took ten minutes! For fuck's sake, if I can sit down and take a compressed MP3 version of the track and make it sound better than the studio master, there's a problem with the production part of the pipeline. Do any of their ears work? I haven't revisited the album since I got this copy, since tracks like "Devote my Life" hurt to listen to, and I still think the second half of the album is stronger than the first half, so in essence I guess I agree with your hot take??? Despite my high end equipment, I'm also terrible at noticing these problems in the moment, but I can very easily A-B them if someone gives me a cleaned up version, so if I start noticing issues almost instantly then that's real bad. Real good example of how ignorance is bliss.

    If they got him at home, then he was probably smoking. Bro get a candle! Also "a couple of grams" is not an insignificant amount of weed. If he cops in bulk, it's possible he had an eighth to a quarter on him (3.5-7.5g). Even in decriminalized states that's enough for some time.

    gotta ask how that extra credit tastes

    Guess I'm emotionally and mentally weak then lmfaoo but I'll take my crutches anyway. life's gonna life whether i smoke or not. i'd rather be high for the bullshit then be sober and angry to appeal to ideals. marijuana makes me feel good. quotes are just feel good words that don't mean much to me most of the time. as long as people are responsible and courteous with their drug use i don't really care if you wanna blaze up or snort rocks. it's their life and they can fuck it up as badly as they want, as long as they know they're responsible for the consequences.
  25. Zeus

    but what if you abuse marijuana??
