Pretty cool workspace. Mine's a large nondescript office but I like it that way and it makes the once common office moves easier. People always comment on how lacking in humanity it is. I've always wanted to create a nerd shrine in my house like so many of my friends have (ie a room stuffed full of collectables and cool nerd shit). But then I think about how expensive it would be, how it would get dusty and how none of it is useful.

I don't even know who Lorna Shore are but I am mainly stuck in the twentieth century including modern bands that sound like they should be from the twentieth century ala Midnight or Toxic Holocaust. Also didn't know blackened deathcore was a thing.

No idea. That's a pretty obscure request.

Welcome aboard! Seems you will fit right in. 😁

Wow KK that sucks. Hope the pain subsides and the doc has an easy fix that doesn't involve surgery!

Race has never mattered much in rock/metal but here we go with Revolver mag making race an issue with some shoegaze mob where it's all about the guy's race (as well as his self- proclaimed attractiveness). https://www.revolvermag.com/music/cold-gawd-deftones-endorsed-band-want-make-shoegaze-black-again?fbclid=IwAR3HuARFAX2jnAoXduJHkJ2--K2qVup1H9djxZuv5MkWiCSKZpk2ImM1VlY We really don't need this kind of thing. It's more divisive than inclusive. Let the music speak for itself.

It is all over my FB. I suspect the reunion tour has sitrred things up. Hard to believe it has been that long.

Wow you guys have done well given the circumstances. I totally get it as my mother probably has some undiagnosed mental illness - paranoid, narcistic, occasionally violent and occasionally sadistic and bouts of depression and euphoria where her behaviour would be childlike. Her own mother basically abused her physically and psychologically and in turn she did the same with me (dunno if any of you watch Walking Dead, but the character Alpha reminds me of my mother). Bizarrely she tormented my brothers less - one was the golden child and the other was neglected. But Croats/Yugoslavs of that generation (born 1950s) don't do mental health. It's all very taboo.

Here the issue is most community outpatient type services are privatised (but still funded by government - don't ask it's a terrible rort). The minute a patient is complex or difficult the private operators dump the patient and they go into the woefully resourced public sector. A lot of the private sector won't even take complex clients. Even GPs dump mentally ill patients. The fact that we're regressing as societies astound me. It feels like we're headed back to the 19th century - dog eat dog and the poor can suffer in their filth. WE KNOW BETTER! Progress should be expanding access to healthcare, housing and basic services not taking away what we had or funnelling money to greedy private organisations. It amazes me we have housing crises and electricity/gas crises all caused by greed. Government says it can't do anything. Sure it can - THEY ARE THE GOVERNMENT. They could build houses (like they did in the past) and nationalise the power grid (like they did in the past) and offer essential services (like they did).

Navy sounds like an absolutely fucked situation. I have known people who have had similar burdens (including one whose son was an extremely violent highly autistic kid) and you can see how mentally draining it is on them. They seem sapped of life. We've actually had such patients in our acute mental health inpatient unit simply because there is nowhere else for them to go and the families can no longer cope with the levels of abuse and violence. I work in mental health administration and from what I hear from mental health practitioners is that they threw the baby out with the bath water when they shut down asylums and sanitoriums. They even shut down our local dementia long stay unit - it's now backpacker's accommodation. Some people need that level of institutionalised care. It is bullshit to expect families to be torn asunder to look after one heavily disabled and violent family member.

Things is falsetto and banshee vocals were still done in a powerful way. I absolutely hate the whiny effeminate cleans. Eg like this track at 1 minute mark where Robb Flynn whines along like someone who needs a punch in the face:

Could be worse, he could be a cannibal that only eats gooches (bit between arseholes and genitals). You know just prowling around people's homes, slicing off their gooches in their sleep and then cooking the gooches and eating them with a Bessemer sauce, steamed vegetables and a nice pinot noir or merlot. Don't ask where that came from.

Geez this is the most tacky shit I've ever seen. And musically it's just as bad.

Bizarre thing is the older I get the more close minded I am about music. I used to listen to more diverse music in my youth than I do now. Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind

Those are long drives! I struggle with those - eg I didn't go to Blood Incantation and Dead Congregation cause it's a 3 hour trip in the day to Hobart or 4-5 hours at night if you have fog. Lots of semi permanent road works so speed often down to 40-60 kph. Cost of living is high in Australia too. Eg median income is €40,528 per annum but median house price is €564,000. Median rent is €332 per week or €17,264 per annum. Everything else is expensive even stuff Australia has an abundance of (eg beef mince €8-€10 per kg depending if lean or fatty compared to €3-€5 in Zagreb or gas or whatever). As such Australians have second highest level of private debt after Switzerland (170% of GDP). I am lucky - my salary is €71,000 and my wife is on €42,000. However our skills don't translate easily into Europe due to language and qualification issues. We also have a small child and all my wife's extended family is here. Oh and the dog! Znam da govorim Hrvatski ali ne znam tehnički jezik sto se tice moje struke. Also your town looks stunning! I would love to visit!

Agreed on all 3. However my problem is deep down inside I am pretty fucking dumb. Sepultura - Chaos AD

This wasn't quite that violent! I would have stayed back if it got that nasty.
