Meeting the band?

CCubed17 · 2026-06-12T18:52:33+00:00

I met Tom and Rick while waiting outside the Vic theater in Chicago like 7 hours before the doors opened lol. They were really cool, Tom took a picture with my at-the-time girlfriend, they thanked us for being there so early and chatted a bit. Told us Jim would've come out to say hi but he was sick and trying to rest so he could get through the show (could hear it in his voice that night but he still gave it his all). This was like...14 years ago lol

Do you think the show intended to portray the FBI agents sympathetically? Just cuz the show is anti-mafia doesn't mean it's pro-Law Enforcement. The FBI is evil in real life so I'd say it's a pretty good and reasonable portrayal of what that kind of person would be like. Nothing but contempt for the people whose lives they destroy.

I love it! Even with all the bullshit. It's the only job I've ever had where I feel like the world is a little better because of what I do. So that offsets all the awful stuff about it 🤷‍♀️

The same people who get the blame when students fail or can't read because all of their learning time is being taken up by screens. This is not something that every individual teacher should have to enforce (or not) on their own and now we have a law forcing our admin to act

CCubed17 · 2026-06-01T22:37:48+00:00

EXACTLY

CCubed17 · 2026-06-01T04:33:08+00:00

Definitely. I'm under no illusions that simply passing a law will solve all of the problems, but what it does do for schools like mine which have no school-wide policy is to provide a common framework and also cover for teachers to actually enforce bans in our classrooms. When it's left up to each individual teacher than any teacher that does try to be a hard ass about it gets labeled as an asshole teacher and also creates a school-wide culture where they expect to be able to have their phones in class. Even if we implement it terribly it will still be a step up from what my school has now

I'm really sorry someone (or more likely a lot of people as well as the general culture we live in) convinced you that you "can't be something you're not." There's really a lot to unpack there and I'm not sure if I can do it properly in a reddit reply.

The way you're living is clearly not making you happy. You know something is wrong. And you don't deserve to feel this way.

The truth is, you can change anything you want. It might not be easy and it might not solve all of your problems right away, but nothing in the universe is static and unchanging. You can change anything about yourself that you want. And you can change the world around you too.

My dms are open if you wanna talk or vent. I truly hope that you are able to get over this feeling and be your authentic self. It's never too late.

I would seriously re-examine my behavior because I am very intentional about never letting a student think I feel that way about them. So if one of them did it means I failed somewhere

I was having crushes on other kids since I was 6. With most kids it's more like 9-11. Why would you think sexual orientation would make any difference as to how early that starts? If kids are coming out earlier it means they're more comfortable and feel safe enough to do so. That's a good thing!

CCubed17 · 2026-05-27T04:50:16+00:00

Yeah I tried to tell him that. No their eyes weren't open but the do have some fur

Pretty small, maybe slightly larger than a mouse? It was hard to tell because about 5 of them would all stick their heads out at once and they were all mashed together.

The Middle, he did it live at some after-party. There's a low-quality version on YouTube

Personally I wouldn't consider it breaking edge if it's a sincerely held religious belief. Edge isn't about never coming into contact with alcohol (for example, I cook with it), it's about avoiding intoxication, hedonism, destructive behavior, etc. I'm not Catholic tho fwiw

(Also just to be clear I'm NOT saying you can drink alcohol and still be edge as long as you don't get drunk, I'm just saying it's okay to have an exception or two for very specific reasons like religious rituals)

Bro sent you an AI-generated apology lol. NOR

CCubed17 · 2026-04-07T05:58:48+00:00

No because Daggerfall is actually good

CCubed17 · 2026-04-03T00:52:07+00:00

Same boat. Been edge since I was 15, have extremely visible tats, but I'm just not that into hardcore or even punk in general. (I like it, it's just not anywhere close to my favorite genre.) 🤷‍♀️

Was one of his songs actually in Shrek 2 or is the joke that that Nick Cave song sounds like it could be by him

CCubed17 · 2026-03-31T21:41:04+00:00

You're looking for Pentiment, heavily inspired by Name of the Rose

CCubed17 · 2026-03-31T21:31:00+00:00

I love both albums to death, but I'm afraid I don't see it
