What's your opinion on advertisements?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don’t particularly have any opinion on it, partly because without advertisement, many of the programs I use wouldn’t have enough fund to operate. Sure it could be annoying sometimes but it isn’t THAT annoying.

Sq

Ads are trash, should instead label it as news and they should be highly selective. You can mark things you care about and want to receive news for. Discounts in local stores for products / products you like, news in areas you care about, such as electronics / gaming and there is no point to see an ad twice, when something is new, a trailer is fine, a reminder when its out is cool, a reminder when there is a discount is cool, but I'd need the options to disable all of that stuff individually, cause I'm not looking for a similar object, if I already have one that I like, if I want an upgrade etc, I'll manually look for stuff. Ads are just manipulation, hence they way they are, they shouldn't exist.

SQ cause lazy right now
Carmlillball
As a whole, they can be useful. A recent example is, I've found out about a band I now love from an advert (in fact, I'm listening to one of their songs now).

However, most I see tend not to be useful. And they can be annoying. If there's too many during a Youtube video, for example. Too many ads also tends to lag my computer.

I have an Adblocker which allows a certain amount of adverts to be on a site and I can block individual things such as pop-ups. This is very useful, because I don't want to completely remove ads, but I don't want too many shown either.

Sq
Achromalia
I'm actually a bit indifferent to them. Could be the apathetic demeanor, but I don't really care about the ads. They don't interest me much, and I don't really find them all that annoying as long as i can eventually get past them.

Any profession you'd like to work in?
Nate Bait
I'm kinda jumbled up with what specific profession I want to pursue. Maybe entering something involving computers, programming and the like (as a major/main prof.), and music composing as a side hobby.

SQ
samX500
My answer is pretty similar to Nate's. I am currently studying programming at Cegep (a Quebec only school in between high school and uni) and I plan to pursue this field in the future. As side hobby music is definitely my top choice, I wish I could learn to make vocaloid/utaloid cover or play the euphonium. Composing my own music is also something I'd be intersted in though that seems a lot less acessible because from the outside it looks like it needs a lot of equipement and especially experience to make good song.

What even is 'the big black'?


Big Black was an American punk rock band from Evanston, Illinois, active from 1981 to 1987. Founded by singer and guitarist Steve Albini, the band's initial lineup also included guitarist Santiago Durango and bassist Jeff Pezzati, both of Naked Raygun. In 1985, Pezzati was replaced by Dave Riley, who played on Big Black's two full-length studio albums, Atomizer (1986) and Songs About Fucking (1987).

Big Black's aggressive and abrasive music was characterized by distinctively clanky guitars and the use of a drum machine rather than a drum kit, elements that foreshadowed industrial rock. The band's lyrics flouted commonly held taboos and dealt frankly—and often explicitly—with politically and culturally loaded topics including murder, rape, child sexual abuse, arson, racism, and misogyny. Though the band's lyrics contained controversial material, the lyrics were meant to serve as a commentary or a display of distaste for the subject matter. They were staunchly critical of the commercial nature of rock, shunning the mainstream music industry and insisting on complete control over all aspects of their career. At the height of their success, they booked their own tours, paid for their own recordings, refused to sign contracts, and eschewed many of the traditional corporate trappings of rock bands. In doing so, they had a significant impact on the aesthetic and political development of independent and underground rock music.

In addition to two studio albums, Big Black released two live albums, two compilation albums, four EPs, and five singles, all through independent record labels. Most of the band's catalog was kept in print through Touch and Go Records for years following their breakup.

Do you believe you are free?
Carmlillball
Not really.

I'm pretty much stuck in my house all the time, except to go outside in the back garden.
Also, everything is extremely controlled by my mum, including dinner. I'm not trusted to make my own dinner and I'm almost 16! No reason for this, either. I used to at least be trusted to use a microwave. Some times I am allowed to have dinners which I would like, but this is extremely risky. Often, I'm forced to have both the food I wanted, and a take out she wants me to eat.

When there is freedom, such as when I was at school, I can be very limited by my anxiety. Communication is very scary for me in real life although I'm trying to work on it. I blame part on it on being such a sheltered kid.

My mum means well, but she's very.. Controlling.

However, I still have freedom through creating art and stories, as well as browsing the internet, and I'm thankful for this.

I also receive help from a 'friend' (of a strange definition at that, though I like her). She helps me to get independence and break away from my mum's chains a little. I love the 2 hours a week I get with her, even though I'm quiet and awkward throughout the time. Being able to talk about serious issues with someone and having them clearly thinking rationally is a huge relief.
I feel free when hanging out with her. I love spending time with her.

What's with bullying?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Idk, let me ask wikipedia

Bullying is the use of coercion, force, or threat, to abuse, aggressively dominate or intimidate. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception (by the bully or by others) of an imbalance of physical or social power. This imbalance distinguishes bullying from conflict.[1] There is no universal definition of bullying. It is widely agreed upon that bullying is a subcategory of aggressive behavior characterized by the following three minimum criteria: (1) hostile intent, (2) imbalance of power, and (3) repetition over a period of time.[2] Bullying may thus be defined as the activity of repeated, aggressive behavior intended to hurt another individual, physically, mentally, or emotionally.

Bullying ranges from one-on-one, individual bullying through to group bullying called mobbing, in which the bully may have one or more "lieutenants" who may seem to be willing to assist the primary bully in their bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as "peer abuse".[3] Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of rankism.The Norwegian researcher Dan Olweus[4] says bullying occurs when a person is "exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons". He says negative actions occur "when a person intentionally inflicts injury or discomfort upon another person, through physical contact, through words or in other ways."[4] Individual bullying is usually characterized by a person behaving in a certain way to gain power over another person.[5]


On a srs note, bullying is one way for people to display their insecurities so it is pretty dumb in the most part, especially when most of the bullies don’t know that they are doing that

i don't like it... it is a hellhole to me and i sometimes wish i could get out...

the environment is complete utter shit... people can be extremely horrible, you should be terrified if you made someone jealous since they would even KILL YOU to fill their fucking ego. this is sometimes why they can be nosy af, trying to know your crush and shit like that, its because they want to ruin your life and make you feel like shit. if you were to meet someone reliable, congrats!
pollution is a huge problem, there is garbage, air, noise, water, and even FUCKING TOXIC PEOPLE pollution. it is irritating me to the core. it is one of the reasons why you should NEVER live in the city, those places are literal dumpsters.
transportation... also bad. you are in bad luck if you are kinda tall, i'm 167cm and i sometimes bang my head on the roof on tricycles or even jeepneys. speaking of tricycles and jeepneys... they can easily scare claustrophobic people because you are gonna get crammed up in those. If you go in a bus, expect vomiting, considered i easily got nauseous before in those buses.
politics, i wouldn't talk about that because uh... they can be extremely sensitive... but yeag lies everywhere haha...
school (since i go to school haha...) is shit as well, heck the system is rather crap considering there are people in highschool that can't read, write, or even do basic maths. bullying problem is high, very high. i even got bullied for doing normal shit, the students even try to manipulate me in the shittiest ways that can drain a person mentally if they are weak, they would say you are greedy if you don't give them something they want, even if its just for hygiene and there is a FUCKING SINK FOR A FUCKING REASON!

i would rant way more about this but i think i should probably try to lighten up this thing a bit... plus what i might be doing makes me a scummy person (yes... you are a scum if you insult this country, even if you just dislike this country, you are scum... instantly...)

what i like? just the overall feel of being in a rural area, it is the only calming place in this hellhole i am living in...

overall, if you are planning on visiting philippines, or even living in the philippines, please consider that you are probably gonna go through a fucking nightmare. unless you are lucky af and have not experienced this horrible shit.

hopefully i am not in trouble for this... i am honestly worried that expressing this puts me in danger...

fuck i haven't been here in a long while, uhhhhh

hmm.

loneliness isn't really a big issue for me.

...well, it'd be slightly dishonest to say that it's not at least a bit of an issue. though i really prefer to be alone, sometimes it'd be nice to have someone to talk to and share my life with. someone who understands and listens, and engages with me in my messy thought process.

but normally, i'm alright with that. i'm probably not going to find anyone that i can do that with in person. it's pretty hard to find people that can genuinely engage with me in the first place.

a lot of the time, the only people that take me seriously and can engage in a real conversation would be adults, because they're mature enough and knowledgeable enough to have some say in the matter, and they've likely become more perceptive of different ideas.

anyways, yeah. i'm not sure if i necessarily need to cope, that's never really been a huge thing.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tbh, idk what to tell you since I have little to no understanding about the situation you’re in rn. What I’ve already known are this statement your soundcloud channel which I have listened to several times alr. Your stuff, at least in the music industry, is pretty decent (especially your night mix one, which is something I would actually buy and put it into my playlist). If you want to make a career out of this, I would recommend you trying to get recognitions from others. There are many of ways to do it, such as making a beatmap out of your song and go for ranking, going on twitch and request them to play your song (for example, go to a twitch streamer like the8bitdrummer who play drum over music and request him to play your song), etc. The progress can be tedious but the rewards could be really good. Don’t know about your art tho, since the only artpiece I have ever seen from you is your avatar, so I can’t give you much advise, but always start out with getting attention. I understand how you think that your work isn’t good enough since I have been through it already. I liked mapping in mania a lot and I have always wanted my maps to be played by other players, but I was always scared of them saying that my map is bad, therefore I’m scared to even ask other people to testplay my map. Though after talking to one of my osu friend and he said to me that I must go through that process anyway to become better at mapping and that, as cliché as it may have sounded, if you put effort into it, it would never be bad at all. (I kinda ramble a lot so some point may feels dumb or sth, so forgive me on that)

“What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.”
samX500
I don't really get the question but from what I can get of it I suppose it would be number 2. From my understanding of religion a demon is just an evil god and in this situation that evil god is claiming that you will resurect which no matter how you look at it is something divine. Plus option 1 is pretty unlikely, I am not the kind to curse people when I hear bad news.

SQ
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ok so I’m not the only who have problem understanding the question. Anyway, if the questiom is what it is, then probably 1 since me reliving a lonely life for eternity would already be reality, and the 2 options are basically either admire or despite the demon who did this to you so I think it is more realistic to go with 1
