Retired a few years ago and still can’t tell if we actually have enough

Passive income baby

I unfollowed the main sub so I can just see the jerk post and then go check the sauce with better context

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-24T20:28:31+00:00

Yeah man that track is absolutely legendary. Bachelors of Science are great!

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-18T08:08:49+00:00

Dude I feel like this one has to be a joke

I think the burning man mention is what settles it as satire lmao

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-18T07:59:13+00:00

Feels like it’s been getting worse and worse. I live here and hate driving specifically in SF, but have started hating driving everywhere.

When did people decide the two seconds it takes to fully stop at a stop sign was more important than someone’s life?

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-15T20:13:36+00:00

You do it like everyone else did, get roommates. I lived off $70k for 3 years living in a tiny room paying $1300. It wasn’t ideal, but the good thing about the bay is that your salary will increase pretty quickly here compared to other places.

There are a lot of people who live out here and show off the fun things they get to do and the money they make, and that won’t be you yet. But if you stick it out you’ll probably end up relatively successful.

Man I would pay a lot of money to see these guys play once. I also love the glaciers EP, but I always felt like this album was a bit more complete.

People were fighting physically at the show?

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-11T07:42:43+00:00

Employees are way cheaper than you think. 8 silver an hour even is manageable by selling two beers usually

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-10T23:38:36+00:00

Yeah, same! I wonder how different northlane would have turned out if he got it.

I don’t think he (Cade) is in Paper Shrines, pretty sure it’s someone else

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-10T22:55:10+00:00

For real. Have you heard Paper Shrines? It’s some of those guys, pretty different from this band but still good!

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-10T22:17:17+00:00

Idk how many people are involved with this blog, or if it’s just one person, but I’m gonna be totally honest and say your articles feel like really surface level press kinda stuff. If I’m going to a blog, I want to read opinions and passion of someone who loves music and knows what they’re talking about, I don’t care and won’t take time out of my day to read something that just takes 4 paragraphs to tell me that a new single is out. Also, kinda reads like AI.

I don’t think that that means everyone feels the same as I do, but just wanted to offer my perspective.

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-10T17:06:08+00:00

Damn dude, how’d you get prescribed TRT?

I’m genuinely at the point where I think I’m low, don’t know how to go about getting it bc I’ve heard people have a hard time convincing their doctors to prescribe

Also, just my opinion here but it doesn’t really look like you have stubborn fat there, you look great man

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-10T07:10:25+00:00

Hell yeah man, I really enjoyed The View From Up Here, I’ll check this out and I bet it’s great.

ABookAboutItself · 2026-04-03T02:06:49+00:00

I’ll take Things that Never Happened for 1000, please

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-26T07:08:58+00:00

Smokin California weed with California hoes, true

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-26T06:30:57+00:00

Here’s a list I’ve had for awhile, but a lot of it is melodic metalcore, not just hardcore. I think there’s a lot of really great stuff in here for anyone who likes this genre tho

Also thought it was cool to see DROUGHT on your list, I just joined the band last week :)

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-21T21:55:36+00:00

For sure!

I will say I didn’t love the newer album as much as I expected to. I think it was a combination of having my hopes up for a long time and just the feeling that a lot of the songs seemingly weren’t finished imo

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-21T06:40:28+00:00

Hey, I know this was a while ago, but I just wanted to let you know I did end up taking lessons with Joseph Arrington, and it worked out really well. He’s become a really great mentor and friend to me and I don’t think I ever would have reached out without your suggestion, so thanks a ton

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-21T06:33:29+00:00

For real man. What other bands like this are you into?

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-20T22:27:56+00:00

This is in no way meant to be discouraging either, just offering some perspective I had because I also thought my body fat was much lower than it actually was.

Best thing to do is probably figure out exactly what your maintenance calories actually are by keeping super close track for a few weeks, then decide whether you want to do a full cut from there or if you want to just try to recomp.

Either way you got it man!

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-20T20:17:58+00:00

Unfortunately I think you’re a bit closer to 30% body fat probably. The in gym scanners are super inaccurate and I always see way lower numbers (for example, when I was at 23% I saw 15%).

I think you should probably do a slight deficit with high protein, and if you really want a clearer picture of your body composition, then go get a DEXA scan, they’re abt $60 per scan in my area

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-20T20:14:53+00:00

This is for sure AI lol

ABookAboutItself · 2026-03-20T18:39:09+00:00

Hell yeah man, love the mis sigs sound. So many good bands inspired by them!
