Lost my 18 year old son just over a year ago, I am frozen in time, everything I did was for him to shine and be his authentic self, which he 1000% achieved in his short incredible life. I will never get over him, I will never stop talking about him and I will probably never not cry for him. There is a million stages of grief and they can beachhead attack at any moment and then let you breathe and the sucker punch you so hard you ponder “the other side”.

Something like this should be default in MacOS. I use blackhole daily in my audio production and sound design practices. If you use a modern audio interface you might have a loopback available there.

waiting for a kidney transplant while slogging through dialysis is a brutal experience, the mental and post physical struggle is mad real. I was lucky enough to match with a family member eventually. I can see how on some last resort shit why not try this.

This is oddly relevant to my recently discovered disaster in the basement bathroom.

Helm and Surge XT are great synths (and effects in Surge's case). When my nephew wanted to dabble in audio production, I used them to beef up his free copy of Ableton Live Lite.

I always encouraged my son to follow his own interests, but exposed him to what I was into. Once he got to high school and started taking "computer science" he really opened up to it and became passionate about it on his own terms. This was amazing to watch unfold and really morphed our relationship into something even more special. Unfortunately the universe decided it was his time to and he passed away a few weeks ago, a week after his 18th birthday and high school graduation. I know he would've gone on to do marvellous things to help our world become a better place, miss ya bud.

I think tracklib is attempting to find a middle ground. Not sure the younger generation cares about Bob James in a backwards hat though.

I’m on my 7th year of having a transplanted kidney, having a scumbag disease that will eventually destroy my current one… I feel your cynicism. On the other hand this stuff still gives me hope, I dream of the days I don't need to start the day and end the day with meds… One day

I just want something like this for my next kidney transplant, I'm so sick of the meds, yes I'm blessed to be alive and living a really good life, but man the 2nd kidney is starting to give me anxiety. Context: Transplant isn't a cure to my autoimmune disease, it will slowly pick away at the graft and have me needing another. Love reading about this kind of stuff.

Don't follow trends and hype, health and fitness is key, the sooner the better, find someone who makes you want to be better for youself, them and the world. Spend less and save more.

And the great Kardnial Offishal has imprinted the following quote in my head for life.

"Half the bullshit I thought, I'm glad I never said it"
