somehow listing ones mental illnesses together on a public forum doesnt strike me as the best idea.

[Ricky Denzel]

What makes you say that, my man?

That's why we didn't write about our multiple personality dissorder.
...
I'm so sorry for that horrible joke... It was his idea.

Jokes aside though. Eery has a good point. It could be mean trouble if it's found by a bully, or worse, a future employer. I'm only open about my dyslexia caise it'd make me look bad if I didn't.

I've never been psychoanalyzed, and it seems like the field of psychology is prepared to diagnose just about anything these days.

Yeah... don't get me started on ADD and Asperger's. They're both clearly very real disorders for some people, but it seems virtually anyone who has trouble concentrating in school can get diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, and every socially awkward 14 year old thinks they have Asperger's. I wouldn't be bothered so much, except that it makes it harder for people with serious cases to be taken seriously and get correct treatment, and treating people who don't really have the assigned disorder brings its own set of problems.

my new album isnt getting any love

neither is mine.
I guess we are both in the same boat.

Will listen. :3

[Ricky Denzel]

Mine, too

[DJ TATCM]

diagnoses of hypochondria seem to be on the rise too, take that with what you will

[Stuntddude]

Hypochondria? Isn't that the powerhouse of a cell?

[ExoBassTix]

Thought so too, but after a quick google (ugh) I found out that hypochondria is basically health anxiety.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Eh, I was diagnosed when I was 3. They did a lot of testing before they reached the conclusion, it was a series of different things to figure it out rather than "well he's socially awkward and 14 so aspergers it is!". There are a lot of misinformed diagnoses with mental illnesses though, they tend to be abstract and a lot of diagnoses are better taken as a 'probably' intead of a 'definitely' like you would with a physical illness.

Well on a completely unrelated note, I'm trying to install a Windows 8 iso file and all I get is (a media driver your computer needs is missing. Blah blah blah.)
It doesn't say which one which is frustrating. :/
So what ever.

[ExoBassTix]

Yeah but who deliberately wants Windows 8 :')
If you're upgrading from Win7, and you wanna do that installation and it works without error, enjoy the countless time spent on fixing shitty drivers. It was bad enough with having to do that on Win7 when I downgraded (took me 2 months and a friend who had luck in his searches to fix my drivers). I can only imagine how torturous it will be on Win8 when you upgrade.

[Ricky Denzel]

Mine worked just fine. I think it was luck, but who knows?

>install gentoo

[Bronies Are Cool]

Im probably just going to install Windows 7 instead.



I performed in two improv shows. I realize now I have 0 stage fight. Which translates to me not fearing public speaking. Which is nice tbh.

I also tried out for my school production and am casted as two parts in the play. Who knew I could act?
I didn't. Anyway that's what happened in my life on the surface.
The stress under that is actually overwhelming.

In supposed to teach someone how to use FL today. I should charge people.

You should put that in the music subforum. In this thread I'd consider it spamming tbh

for real. Split the topic. Ive seen other people do the same with wips or whatever. You guys have an entire forum. Utilize. The rest of the forum doesnt need to be useless forumgames.

No disrespect, but you consider anything related to our work as spamming.

[eery]

Ricky. This thread is intended for just general discussion. This is a music forum, we have entire sections dedicated to what you wanna post.

[Ricky Denzel]

I apologize. It won't happen again. You didn't have to snap, thou

He didn't snap. He's a moderator he's allowed to be stern with you.

[Acsii]

So I've finally come to a decision. Hopefully at the end of this year, more likely mid first quarter next year, I will be moving to Sweden somewhat permanently. This will be the first major decision that is purely based around my career, other than university choice, and I hope it is the right one :) Which brings up something, would I needed to somewhat learn Swedish? Or is English common place enough for me to be fine?

[Freewave]

Might want to ask LoreRD. He'll be able to answer some questions about Sweden for you....

[Ricky Denzel]

PM Swedish House Mafia on SoundCloud. They'll help

BST: I've never been to Sweden. I would like to go there one day. "Take me with you when you go, Acsii. Don't leave me out here on my own..."

[ph00tbag]

I don't know if there's a common second language in Australia, but if there is, imagine a native speaker of that language traveling to Australia and trying to make their way through life. I would say trying to get around Sweden with English would be pretty similar. Not to mention, trying to learn the language is the a good way to start ingratiating yourself to the host society. Trying to learn the culture helps, too.

Honestly, moving between Germanic languages isn't exceptionally difficult. Swedish is also closer to English than, for instance, German, so there's less stuff to be confused by. It would definitely be worth your while to look into it. Plus, Swedish has the Sj-sound, which is super cool.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

I don't know if there's a common second language in Australia.

Most schools teach Chinese from grades 1 - 7 as part of standard curriculum here. I hear it's become a little more focal but basically most of us are just taught how to say "Hello", "How are you" and "I'm well" and some other stuff most of us forgot pretty quickly. With the amount of people immigrating here I'm thinking second languages are gonna become a little more important in the next 20 years or so
