Alright. So I’m going through these now.
HIM - I tried to find a song from HIM this time while suppressing my premonitions, but I just couldn’t. There are just so many songs about love, partners, etc. and that doesn’t apply to me right now.
The Crown - I can see myself getting into them the rest of the year, for sure. I enjoyed Gone to Hell and Death Explosion from them (so far.)
The Haunted - I liked All Against All. I’ll be checking out there stuff a bit more, but later.
Dimmu Borgir - I already knew about them. They are a ‘nasty’ band. Hahaha. Puritania is by far my favorite song from them.
Metallica and CKY I’ve heard and like some of their songs. Metallica more so.
Foreign Objects - I’m digging their Galactic Prey album. For sure gonna come back to this one.
Meshuggah - They have a cool sound, but I just can’t find myself liking their songs.
Mattias “I.A.” Eklundh - Minor Swing through me for a loop haha. I like that one. Same with New Air.
Opeth - IDK… I think it’s a bit too moody for my liking.
Finntroll - It’s alright to me. Wish I could understand their lyrics ha.
Children of Bodom - That’s my shit! 👍 I seem to like Melodic Death Metal music quite a bit. Power Metal is fun too.
Sonata Arctica - I could see myself enjoying some of their music. But I think I’m currently in a ‘heavy hitting’ phase musically. Symphonic metal is pretty cool. My introduction to it was Nightwish’s Wishmaster album.
Animals as Leaders - I had a few friends years ago that were really into them. I think they have some interesting sounds, but sometimes, math metal can be too much for me.
Lamb of God - I’ve definitely heard of them and heard a few of their songs. Yeah IDK man. For whatever reason, I can’t find a song that I like enough to add to my Spotify. I might come back to them later for a deeper dive.
Tesseract - Not feeling it.
Textures - Not feeling it.
The Ocean - I liked Holocene.
The Omnific - Turns out, I liked their Objects de Vertu song some time ago. I liked Outback Overdrive. They feel like a band I would enjoy diving deeper into.
Dissection - Pretty good.
Amon Amarth - Of course, I’ve heard of them and like their song Twilight Of The Thunder God hahaha. I’ve been meaning to come back to them and hear more of their stuff. Liked Shield Wall.
Linkin Park - Really dude?! LOL! I wasn’t born yesterday! I like their stuff. Mostly their earlier stuff as well.
And now I feel like Frodo.
(Now I’m gonna music suggest wall you bro! Sheesh. Haha)


(Not a tattoo artist or person with tattoos yet.) I don’t think it’s weird. I believe there are reasons why you feel that way. One in particular might be, that you know how you want the tattoo you chose to turn out. If it doesn’t turn out or come together like you had hoped, how would you handle the situation? I myself would have a hard time telling someone that it didn’t come out right. Especially if it was a tattoo. So maybe it’s more than just the pain you’re thinking about.


This is a catchy 16 bit(?) song. I can see how this could make a home in your brain.


I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed some of the shared songs.
Venjent… what if I told you I was like one of the top 0.01 % listeners of Venjent in 2025, I think.
My goodness dude! Hahaha That’s is some serious dedication! =p
Equilibrium is one of favorite folk metal bands to date. Sunlounger is growing to become my go to artist, when I need to chill out. Venjent is a really interesting artist. I love his ability to utilize sounds from anything and apply them into a music format.
As for your list, HOLY SHIITAKE! You seem to have the metal music corner of music well covered. lol I’ve heard 12 of those listed and know I like, Dimmu Borgir, Metallica, CKY, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth and (of course) Linkin Park. I’ll check out the rest over the next several days.
Bro there are so many good bands, I have about 1700+ bands that I follow on Spotify. (Quite overwhelming at times, actually.)
ROFL! I can totally understand the overwhelming sense you would get. This is why I only follow a 30 or so bands on Spotify.
If you’re looking for more chill music/song suggestions, I would suggestion:

Really liking a lot of syncopation. I want to be intrigued by the music, you know?
Thanks cool dude. I figure you’ve heard of Math Rock. But if you haven’t… https://www.last.fm/tag/math+rock
What music suggestions would you have for me? Like I mentioned, I’m into just about everything. So what’cha got? =)


Oh boy! I’m very similar to you and your music taste then.

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster - Step Up (I’m On It) [Southern Rock / Southern Metal]
Equilibrium - Snuffel [Folk Metal / Speed Metal]
Ghost - Kaisarion [Glam Metal / Heavy Metal]
Venjent - Till Death We Do Art [Electronic / Drum and Bass]
Sunlounger - White Sand - Chill Out Edit [Trance / Chillout]
This depends on what sect of Christianity you believe in. If you’re one that believes that everything is already predetermined, than yeah, this Jesus character would have seen everything to come, in regards of sin. If you don’t believe in a predetermined life, than you would have probably carried a huge burden of guilt for something that you never knew was true or not. But the people around you kept on speaking as if it was true, even though they wouldn’t or couldn’t provide solid evidence of such a thing happening.
Anyway… Do your best to be a good person, treat people how you would want to be treated, and don’t hold religion to be, the end all be all of life, as we know it. No one can fully prove or disprove the existence or absence of a deity or deities.


Their Open Collective page has useful information about their budget.

Perhaps it doesn’t show everything, but it seems like it shows quite a lot of how their donated money flows.


In the instance panel (on the right side,) it shows the following ways you can donate. Paypal isn’t listed.



I too love a good spelunk of the aged veins of music.
I also love connecting people with the right resources. So what kind of music are you into? =) (Or if that’s too broad, what kind of music are you seeking to get into?)


Is this more indoors or outdoors? People facing or in the background?





Oh my goodness! Can I come over for dinner!? :D
Seriously, I’m having a hard time stopping my mouth from salivating right now.
Nearly all of these seem like things I would want to make. Thank you very much for sharing! You’ve inspired me to take another serious attempt at cooking proper meals again.


Hats off to workers like you. The unsung heroes of modern society.
I had a stint in IT many years ago. I remember being at my first IT job, working as a help desk person. Months in and there was a lull in work for me. Things were all working just fine or better. It was at this point that I mentioned it to my boss (IT Manager of the whole multi location business). ‘Man, there’s nothing really to do. It kinda makes me feel guilty that I’m getting paid to basically sit around.’ I’ll never forget what he replied with after giving a bit of a laugh. He said, “We’re here so when a ‘fire’ breaks out, we can quickly put it out and assess the cause. Then make a preventive plan for this issues like this.” I laughed and smiled. As I then realized that I was in a lesser way, a electronic device ‘firefighter.’ We standby to quickly and effectively address network, computer and printer problems.
He gave an example he had read online a few years prior, of someone who was working for a $4-5 million dollar valued, up and coming corporation. (This I believe happen in 2012 or so.) While the execs were in a meeting, trying balance the books, I guess the founder realized that they were paying for a small team of four IT people and wondered why they had to have so many of them. He complained about how much they were paying to have them staffed and how expensive it was for the two senior IT people they had. I guess they were paying them each over $110,000 salaries. (Each of them specializing in key systems the corp. used daily.) He pointed out his observations, that he would often see and hear them sitting around in their office space, talking and joking with one another. He wanted to know why they kept them onboard if they hardly ever worked and why they ‘deserved’ to be paid so much. This went on for two days or so where the execs kept trying to find ways to cut costs and balance things out. And the ‘IT cost’ would keep coming up. They were planning to cut the team down to one or two people and maybe contract out one or two remote, to save money.
Well, on the third day of the execs going over the books and coming close to a final decision, there was a huge server crash that was caused by a hacker or hacker group who had gotten into the network system and into their email server. The IT team entered Red Alert mode and stayed there working until around 3 in the morning, ‘putting out fires,’ bring things back online safely, and without losing critical server data during it. Even though they had to pull nearly all of the servers to address the issues one by one offline. The company was losing tens of thousands of dollars every hour things were down. And so, come the next morning when the founder and execs came back into the office the next day and get the final report that about 90% of things were back to normal now, and the company had only lost an estimated $400,000 or so in work value while the IT infrastructure was down.
While the IT seniors reported on what had happen, how bad things had gotten and what course of actions the IT team had done to get things back to normal, all while only being about to get a few hours of sleep before the early morning meeting. The founder and execs realized how big of a bullet they had missed but having an in-house IT team and experts that could physically fix things.


I can assure you. I have the clearance for these classified details. Here’s the pass-phrase. Red frog, green log, brown bear, sit there.


This sounds like it could be fun and interesting, depending on the house owners.
Have there been any funny or interesting stories that came about from dog sitting at someone’s house?


Anyone who says being a ‘stay at home’ partner and are pretty good at it, isn’t a job unto its self, hasn’t seen someone do it right or are full of it.
What is your favorite dish/meal to make?
I’d suggest looking into what news outlets are still willing to ‘break the story’ to the public these days. Perhaps a search for ‘whistle blower story’ might help you find these that are willing to still be proper reporters.
If you feel you’re life might be endanger in anyway, but reaching out to someone to share your story, consider looking into concealing yourself with any device you decide to use. I’m sure there are resources out there that can help you navigate this. If what you say is true, do what you believe to be the moral thing to do.
