True!

This is a hate lyrics thread. Stop posting videos and keep hating lyrics

Such a shit debate lol. I'll sum it up in one ginormous sentence: the language of Tate's past statements is way too imprecise for the debate bro space, which makes him come off as making universal truth claims about women, when in reality he is just talking about how he lives his life, and Tate spends the entire discussion failing to make Hasan acknowledge this distinction, partially because Hasan is just a dense motherfucker, and partially because Hasan is being too sarcastic and unserious.

Information density.

This is such a retarded thing to argue about.

There is nothing better out there in the same vein.

You literally are Destiny in an alternate timeline. Studied music, ENTP, "logic is my God", watches everything at 4x speed, doesn't read

Peak energy levels today ;D

And reading comprehension? Everything is coming together @thisintegrated Jking

but I'm no Duracell Bunny

Nicotine is not your drug. It's Leo!

Then Death Metal is the genre for you. The lyrics are just vehicles for sound and are completely unintelligible

What about words that are so ambiguous and weird that you're not sure if they're made up or not?

You're using "i.e." too now? I'm such a bad influence There are some cool artistic ways of deploying lyrics though. For example, I just realized (or confirmed a long-term suspicion) that when Maynard sings the lyric "please forgive this selfish question" in Wings For Marie Pt. 1, he actually sings "selfish" in the left ear and "selfless" in the right ear. Listen at 5:04, it's really cool:

Get help. Seriously.

I just found one of them, but holy crap, the music video is revolting. It's the descending melody in the chorus that I like (like at 0:53)

@thisintegrated I never actively listen to lyrics. Never approached music that way (except for some rap songs). If I ever understand what the song is about, it's on accident

I love understanding the historical contexts of musical genres and pinning songs against them For example, I like to think of Tool as the King Crimson of the Grunge era (the Nirvana age). There is some obvious 90s Rush in there as well (there is one part in the song "Animate" from Counterparts that sounds so much like Tool, it's impossible to miss it).

I've thought about this a lot too. I don't know what I'll do when I surrender completely. I'm just doing whatever I can to get there, and it seems to involve me becoming the best version of myself in a worldly sense, which means maturing my intellectual side, interpersonal, professional etc. You'll only let go once you see no other alternative, and I'm going to exhaust those alternatives. I think there is a chance I'll probably get tangled up in my work due to petty humans things, like wanting to preserve my identity as an academic, maintain relationships with colleagues, being immersed in the latest research etc. So I might never choose to pursue awakening again, but also considering how much my mind has changed the last 2 years and how it's not all pleasant, I might start meditating again regardless. Other than that, before I get to that point, I think my main obstacle is my level of openness vs. conscientiousness. Jordan Peterson once said that conscientiousness is the main predictor of success in grad school, and that openness can even be detrimental (your ideas are way too out there). I know that I've always been a conscientious person (I got it from my mother), but it was repressed in my earlier days due to trauma and emotional problems. I just need to work a bit on that, and I've made a much tighter schedule for myself these last two semesters before I start my masters.

I'm only arguing against complete abstinence and Stage Blue style emotional repression. All the so-called benefits of nofap are achievable by just fapping moderately. You should fap just as much as you need to fap; not more, not less.
