What an insensitive and utterly vile post. If you understood anything about addiction, which I'll remind you is a health disorder and not a personal choice, you would be ashamed of yourself. Some of us and our families are really struggling with huge impacts to physical and mental health, our entire lives, from addictions like this. Hope posting this made you feel better about yourself tho ๐

Not the original commenter, but no need to apologise my friend. Nice work. Learning tip from me: give PEP 8 a read and save it for reference somewhere. It's the standard for how to format Python code, and future you will thank you for internalising it early on in your Python journey
You just sent my ADHD brain into the depths of my music library for 2 hrs. It's early morning and I have shit do do man, why would you do this to me? There are soo many I could list here, ranging from Dubstep to Drum and Bass, to Bass Music and Trap and almost every other kind of electronic music. Most Techno, especially Trance basically revolves around building up and dropping one big and epic drop.
Personal bias and nostalgia, but Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) has to be one of the sickest bass drops of all time.
If we start listing Techno drops here, this thread would never end, so I'll refrain. Here's just one example: Space 92 & The Yellowheads - Planet X
The same is true for Wave music, but here's a taster: Deadcrow - GT1000
Disclosure, Eliza Doolittle - You & Me (Flume Remix) is a masterpiece in its own right. But this brass band live performance of the track restores my faith in humanity every time I listen to it.
Some honorable mentions in a similar vein:
I really appreciate your comment. Knowing I'm not alone in this feeling is so encouraging and has been eye opening. Gives me a sense of community and hope that we can do something about it.
I just want to say thank you for writing such a detailed response. It's been quite eye-opening for me, I wasn't even aware that so many great resources and communities exist to explicitly counter this sentiment I've been feeling about negativity in news and other media.
It's very encouraging to see that I'm not the only one with this feeling, and even just the responses to this post are sending me on a whole journey of being more positive!
I will look into indy journalism, thanks for the recommendation! Never gave it much thought but it makes total sense. Is substack the best place to look or are there other places you can recommend?
Do you have a recommendation for uplifting news on YT?
Cool!! I came for gloom but found a happy bear family. And a really shitty game. But shitty in a good way.
Where do I sign up to your feed?
Wow, I am super intrigued. Thanks for the suggestion!
Where did I or the original post mention anything about occasional smokers? This post is offensive to those struggling from lifelong addiction to cigarettes, which is almost never a choice.
Gee, that's such great advice! Why didn't the lifelong addict think of that one themselves? You just singlehandedly solved addiction.
Noone chooses being addicted to cigarettes. It's a mental health disorder just like being addicted to fentanyl or heroin, and a crippling one at that for some. Please educate yourself about what addiction is before defending posts like this. What you are doing is similar to shitting on people for "choosing" their sexuality or gender.
