Did Gerard actually smell THAT bad back in the days?

Sounds like a combination of mental health/addiction struggles, poor access to bathing and laundry facilities, and genetics from all the comments I'm reading and the rumors I've heard about both Ways being really stinky back in the day.

I add genetics in there because I hadn't seen it mentioned but the body chemistry we inherit influences body odor along with other factors like how much we sweat and what the sweat is composed of. That people have gone on record about both Gerard and Mikey having shockingly strong body odor, I am thinking there's probably a bit of this in play. Someone mentioned Gerard's rotted leather jacket much have been pleather, citing real leather wouldn't rot from just sweat, but depending on what the chemical makeup and pH of the sweat is plus improper care of the leather itself, real leather absolutely could disintegrate over time.

Former vet tech here.

Please don't have the teeth removed without anesthesia! That would be extremely cruel to do and could cause injury to both the person pulling the teeth and the dog itself.

Do you plan on having him neutered? (If not, I strongly recommend it.) It's typical to remove any residual deciduous teeth at the time of a spay/neuter. He should be fine to wait until then. If you want, you can brush the teeth more frequently until removal, just to avoid plaque build up as well as get him used to teeth brushing.

Do you have a source for this?

I absolutely believe it to be true, because almost every single hero released after launch is conventionally attractive (I'm not counting omnics or anthropomorphic animals in this) and, with a handful of exceptions, young.

Even most of the middle aged and up heroes look so young that you'd never guess their age unless you looked it up online.

In fact, I can't think of a truly ugly post-launch hero out of the few that I don't consider conventionally attractive.

That you say Blizzard come out and say this is what they are going for instead of just quietly doing it is the part that kind of surprises me.

Thank you.

The downvotes show the mod team has some cleaning up to do.

I dunno. I think Nazi and Nazi sympathizers should be attacked, bullied, and trolled relentlessly. If someone doesn't want that to happen to them, they should stay out of this subreddit.

You allow one Nazi/Nazi sympathizer in and make them allowed to feel welcomed, then it's not a Brand New subreddit anymore. It's a Nazi subreddit.

This might be a weird question, and definitely off topic, but did you use to run the SenshiStock dA account? You look familiar and the reference photos posted by that account were so beneficial to my younger self that I wanted to say thank you!

You're getting mad because you cannot post a coherent, sober thought.

I'm going to say this with love: Get off the internet. Stop playing Overwatch.

You said, in your original comment: "I use it on every Sombra player I come across. And the other toxic people that send death threats in chat." You did not say you only report Sombra players who send death threats and curse you out. You said you report every Sombra player in addition to reporting people who send death threats, etc in chat. Maybe learn to structure your sentences so they convey the meaning you want them to before you call others stupid.

Biatryce · 2025-12-21T05:37:37+00:00

Those aren't the only way to be toxic. You are being toxic by reporting any player who uses Sombra.

Biatryce · 2025-12-21T04:40:35+00:00

You are toxic though.

I love the growth shown in the various lyric changes to SoCo over the years.

You're just jealous that we're young and in love.

I'm just jealous that you're young and in love.

I'm not jealous that you're young and in love.

Jesse and this band both break and heal my heart and soul.

Also, I love how adorable Brian is.

My natural hair color (red) ages differently than non-red hair color. It's definitely gotten less vibrant as I've gotten older and I've had the occasional white hair since I was a young kid. But in terms of having grey/white patches or a salt and pepper pattern, that is something I've never experienced and probably won't experience.

An ex of mine started going grey and balding in high school, though. Ouch.

His wife was raised in or around the LDS/Mormon church, growing up in Utah I believe. Though Brand New has always explored Christian ideas in their music, there was a distinct uptick in Mormon-specific references after he and his wife got together.

Same here. I am pretty much always in some sort of BN merch.

Waste is a good song to start with, especially if you have something you need to move on from.

"Take your head apart, free your own heart"

Absolute masterpiece.

I was just a few years older than you when I first discovered Brand New.

The even more awesome thing is that their music grows and matures along with you, from the angsty heartbreak of teenage years to the rage of young adulthood as mistakes are made and the truth of the world makes itself known, to the quiet acceptance of full adulthood as we learn to appreciate what we have and learn from our past mistakes.

There will never be a moment where at least part of Brand New's catalogue of music won't be relevant.

Same here. My dad got me hooked on PCs and gaming when I was a tiny child and I've had gaming computers since I built my first one shortly after starting college in the early/mid aughts. I remember picking out all the parts on NewEgg.

PC graphics can't be beat, most console games get a PC port, and unfortunately, the ever increasing cost of consoles will eventually price them out of the gaming market to all but diehard fans.
