as this is my field of employment I was kinda gonna avoid it so i dont feel like im at work , however modern technology is impacting on stress levels globally which in turn naturally increases depression , the amygidla of modern society man works at a much greater and longer pace which has been correlated with technology constantly bombarding people with information junk, the hippocampus however has slowed down in modern man so there is definitely a cause and effect.
however , social isolation , family neglect and fiscal slavery also play a great part in depression.
and with all due respect to the poster but poor emotional management is a ludicrous term , there is no shame in depression or suicide
coping mechanisms do fail , and its no ones fault , unfortunately the damage left behind is often quite substantial for family and friends which oft in itself creates a new cycle of depression.

RE: Corny or weird lyrics
if you want weird then try suspended in Gaffa by Kate Bush
_**I try to get nearer,
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way,
It's a plank in me eye,With a camel
Who's trying to get through it,
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all now?I pull out the plank and say
"Thank you for yanking me back
To the fact that there's
Always something to distract."But sometimes it's hard
To know if I'm doing it right.
Can I have it all?
Can I have it all now?
We can't have it all.**_ -

RE: How can I increase my facial hair
you shouldnt be using minoxidil aka regaine on your face ….im a bit shocked to read as a health professional that some people are misusing it apart from hives it can cause facial swelling weight gain and being so close to by proximity ,can affect your thyroid
its only meant for your scalp :afr:
there are other methods available that are suited for facial hair growth vitabeard is one
the other is to use low doses of testosterone but i would be careful with testicular atrophy
Andactrim cream is another option as it uses DHTbut i would stay clear of any product with minoxidil

RE: Free VPN
sorry but i would never reccommend triblr or a free VPN , Trib does not protect you at all , there are heaps of people that have been issued notices whilst using it and its buggy as all hell , you will never ever be 100% anon , that is a fallacy in regards to VPN's , however you can add added security , think of it like this , your internet is a door and a window , without a vpn your doors open and your window has no blinds
with a VPN a proper paid version you add a screendoor and also blinds to your window , making it harder for people " MPAA governments etc , to peep inside , they can if they want , still find you ,but as for copyright its not worth their time . but 100% anon and off the grid , thats just not something any vpn can do let alone a free one .

RE: Hwo is the best gay song?
Gay Song ??? do you mean gay themed or by a gay artist , if you mean the latter then i would say
Pansy Division - He Whipped My Ass In Tennis (Then I Fucked His Ass In Bed). -
RE: Album similar to Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation?
Is there anything else that sounds like this? Looking for a whole album that's similar, not just songs that are in the same vein.
portishead ???? :blink: well since MFTJG is pretty much old school rave being that its 94 you need to look for breakbeat which was huge in the rave scene both in Australia and the UK
i would start with the label Suburban base , then try 2 bad mice , Acen's style is exactly like that album -
Any club or party Dj's Here ??
For a gay guy i play music thats not really associated with gay Culture at all
any other DJ's in the place that actively DJ ??
i would love to hear your tunes.
I play two different styles , Acid being one , but i mostly get paid for playing Junglehttps://www.mixcloud.com/SpacedOddity/everybody-needs-some-jungle/

funny how some refuse to except bisexuality but demand acceptance of homosexuality
but whatever,
you dont need to be defined by a label , its fluid , you are you bisexual pansexual homo , hetero its all fluidwhats important is the level of integrity you have for yourself , experiment !! have fun with your sexuality
we only live once ,Society is hellbent on placing everyone in little boxes within boxes , why do it to yourself :blink:
date whomever you want , in my relationship past ive dated both transmen and women , cis females and males and its all been fine. -

RE: Culture + religion + environment v.s. being gay
just be you , i cant begin to understand what its like being in an Arab nation however as an Australian that has a Turkish heritage , added to that the fact that my parents are Turks of two religions ( Islam and Judaism) i can understand ( a little) the anxiety that you must be feeling
do not feel that you need to give up what you believe in though , im still very much a Jew that believes in a higher power , no religion or book can take that faith away from me , my parents who i thought would disown me when i came out at 16 actually supported me a lot , i judged them for something that they did not do , which is my hubris Turkish culture however is different from Arabic culture , i have a lot of Arab friends here in Australia who are out but not to family , i think the key is to find the balance , not everywhere is going to be like the west.
respect yourself and love yourself dont be so hard on yourself being out is not the be all and end all of who you are.
