You vote with your wallet. Stop complaining. seriously. OP just provided you the info. 1+ for Unhooked. For Ad-blocking I use uBlock Origin.


I already cancelled my subscription. I'm trying to get more people do the same by talking about the issue.


Thanks! You have a really interesting taste in music I think. I just skimmed through every album.

I saved the album from: Tim Hecker, Sunn 0))), Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Brian Eno

With Mozart and Bill Evans I am familiar.

The Godspeed You! album I found not as straigt forward and distinct as I like my music. But don't take this as proper critique. Even though I hear lots of music, I have no 'intellectual' base to say anything substential about music else than wether it clicks with me or not. For some music I think I get the (an) 'idea' and other music just feels all over the place and I can't get hold of the (an) general idea.

Sleep: Jerusalem I didn't found on spotify. Seems like a very generic name... Are you sure this is the full name of artist and album?

If you have more to share, I'm happy to listen to just a bit more. Don't you go over board, I have other things to do as well ;)


Yep, the band is definitely called Sleep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_(band)

As other have pointed out, there's also a near-identical release called Dopesmoker, but it's all one long track so a bit less convenient.

They also have a 2018 release called The Sciences which is pretty damn good too.

Some other albums:

  - Antônio Carlos Jobim - Wave (bossa nova is one of the most underrated genres I reckon)
  - Jon Hopkins - Singularity (ambient electronic)
  - Electric Wizard - Dopethrone (doom metal. similar to Sleep)
  - Sigur Rós - Ágætis_byrjun (there are vocals but they're Icelandic)
  - Chopin - The Complete Nocturnes (I've got a double-album of Roger Woodward playing them)
  - J Dilla - Donuts (instrumental hip hop)
I've tried to cover as many genres as possible to pique people's interest in branching out (you'd be surprised by what you enjoy when you give it a chance). Happy to give even more recommendations - I'm a music nut haha.


> The Godspeed You! album I found not as straigt forward

The better GY!BE album for working/studying is Luciferian Towers.


> Sleep: Jerusalem

Look for "Sleep - Dopesmoker". It’s the re-release of the same thing.


> Cost, mortgage/childcare require two salaries

I'm not sure if that's healthier.


Most definitely not


"page not found"

not the HN ofc, but the website you linked in the thread


Thats unfortunate. I feel like surge.sh has been having issues as of late.


You could do that on kickstarter. An audience exists there already.

Although it's mostly small investors/ backers there. You have thought more of the bigger investors, haven't you? Research is expensive indeed...


I can't imagine there is no service that doesn't work how you describe it.

The flaw is how you described it. 'to fit and look good on me' is very subjective. Even 'to fit [...] me' is as subjective as it can get. You'd need Instagram/ Pinterest/ etc. data to determine what actually 'fits' you.


suspicious... quick question: is your first name Elon?


No hablo ingles


very well written. thank you!

two thoughts that came up:

- your 3 Ps sounds like a lot like I imaging older generations (older than me, mid20). Do you think this is changing with newer generations? As you said, this all is pretty much bullshit...

- From what OP said, she's more on the intellectual side. Men (or human in general) on this side might be more open and doesn't follow the cave man 'uga-uga' mentality


Thanks!

To answer your ?s and speak to your comment:

- Short answer: Probably never. The 3Ps theory is well established in academic masculinist studies. A good overview of the 3Ps comes from Gilmore's 1991 book Manhood in the Making: Cultural Concepts of Masculinity if you want to learn more. Very briefly, all males conform to these Ps to participate in male honor. Yes, many males do not, but they are then without honor, and therefore considered not 'real' men in their culture. Honor is redefined here to encompass more than just the classical concept and is more a pan-male term, it gets a bit wonky. Man is also generally defined as 'not a boy', not 'not a woman'(sorry for all the nots here). The book does a much better job at introducing the ideas than a little HN comment could. In the end, I fail to see how any generation is going to escape ~200,000 years of human history. I could be very very wrong though!

- It's not caveman, it's a theory of how men work in their culture and in almost all cultures we know of (the book goes into the exceptions and how they 'prove the rule' essentially). In the culture of Texas, 'real men' possess these three Ps, or at least have 2 Ps in above average amounts. HN isn't the best place to really dive into it, as most of the men here have above average Provider traits due to the income from tech jobs. It kinda blinds them to men that have to rely on the Protector and Procreator roles for their honor. I want to stress, Provider is not just income.

OP being a selector, and not a selectee, changes the equation a lot, of course. However, understanding the psychology of the men she is dating and their need of the 3Ps may help her address why her strategy is failing. Fluffing up the Protector role, or choosing men that have a lot of strengths in that role, may lead to more success.


If both you and your wife have good jobs I doubt you would be considered a less honorable man then if you had the same good job and your wife had a shitty one.


Sure, it's a valid point and good to put out there, but it doesn't really match her goals:

> Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of falling in love and having a family of my own.

I think she is aiming for a more traditional family and has more romantic ideas about her relationship. But I could be wrong...

Let's wish her the best in any case :)


Can you elaborate a little more? I'm interested why being a mentor (or professional) excludes being a friend.

I mean, we're talking about social interaction and that's always different. My 14 year old self would have needed a personal connection to feel good in a new environment.

If 'being a friend' means not doing work or something in this direction, then I completetly agree.
