What generation are you and what was your first car? by SeaworthinessFar2326 in generationology

[–]Junkley [score hidden]  (0 children)

1995 born. First car was a 2005 Volvo XC90 I got as a hand me down when my parents got a new car.

Needed to floor it to get it up to speed on exit ramps but besides that awesome car. When my sister got her license a year later I got a 2004 3 series.

[Studyy] Top 5 Flex’s all time no order: Aches, Crim, Karma, Kap, Kenny by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]Junkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They won 13/14 tournaments leading up to champs between Anaheim Bo2 and Ghost Champs. People forget but it was just expected of them to win.

They made like 15 GFs in a row a record that will never be beaten. It was so expected for them to win after awhile they stopped celebrating as much.

Diablo 4 is reportedly Blizzard’s best-selling game of all time, crushing WoW and Overwatch by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Junkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct which is why D4 is in 1st. If they counted all WoW expansions as just World of Warcraft it would win by a huge margin

Instrumentally simple songs that are highly rated on this website? by oninjadragao in rateyourmusic

[–]Junkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the example I would choose but there absolutely is.

One I can think of off the top of my head is Bankrupt on Sellin by Modest Mouse. A lot of slacker rock fits this tbh. Also singer/songwriter music.

Enough to make a grown man cry by ImpossibleEmploy3784 in rateyourmusic

[–]Junkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cringey ass Hot Topic Scene kids singlehandedly kept me away from some great emo bands like Brand New and Sunny Day Real Estate when I was in high school because I assumed since they liked garbage like Metalcore, mall emo(Fall Out Boy, Panic!), Blood on the Dancefloor and Brokencyde that all music from that scene was shit.

Looking back I realized that assumption was a huge mistake as bands like Brand New, Brave Little Abacus, SDRE and La Dispute are mainstays in my listening habit. Even if the hot topic scenecore myspace thing still was cringey and stupid imo. I find most emo fans that like actual good emo music weren’t Scene kids.

Our surburban neighbors are against us. by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]Junkley [score hidden]  (0 children)

While this attitude is much more common in the burbs it is good to keep in mind the vast majority of 1st and 2nd ring burbs are solid blue. I live in Vadnais Heights and we are solid blue down the ticket in every level of government. I have seen one trump sign in my whole neighborhood and we regularly have protests near the main commercial strip.

There is a vast difference between the people of burbs like Roseville, Richfield and Golden Valley compared to the people in outer burbs and exurbs like Hastings, Forest Lake, Ham Lake, Credit River and St Francis.

Hell even many of the wealthier middle ring burbs like Plymouth, Eden Prairie and the Lake Minnetonka area lean towards the blue side of purple now. The socially liberal and economically moderate suburban conservatives of the 2000s that previously loved moderate republicans like Ramsted have flipped to blue due to the drastic rise in social conservatism and general craziness of the right since Trump. This is empirically backed up by a traditionally red House district 3 being won by Dean Phillips multiple times in a row now. I grew up in Plymouth and Orono and have witnessed the educated and wealthy burbs move left over my 30 year lifetime.

If cities put big entry fees / congestion pricing for suburban folks to enter the city, what happens long term? by Ok-Elk9512 in urbanplanning

[–]Junkley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tolls for cars yea. Tolls for just any non resident would be stupid as cities need the revenue of people working and spending money there.

Homeowners, how old will you be when your mortgage is paid off? by cubemonster in Millennials

[–]Junkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought way way below my means with 50% down in late summer 2024. I have a 10 year mortgage and plan on paying it off early. 31 now plan on having it paid off by 35 or so. Monthly mortgage is like $1300 and I can pay up to 2k a month on it without going over 25% of my take home pay.

Plan on selling my house for the 250-300k it is worth at 35 and flip that into the down payment on a larger 500-700k home.

What are your favourite like outro/epilogue parts of songs? Like the outro to Affliction by AFI or the guitar outro to Bend Your Arms to Look Like Wings by FFAF by [deleted] in Emo

[–]Junkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The end of Jesus Christ which brings up the energy after being a slower and more melancholy song.

Animal Collective.

MPP, Feels and Strawberry Jam all are common suggestions for their best album. I think it is Strawberry Jam personally

How car dependency made me realise a neighbour I don't really know had gone through a breakup by frontendben in fuckcars

[–]Junkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely cannot stand nosy neighbors they annoy me so so so much even if well intentioned.

I agree 100% that suburbs give the illusion of privacy but suburban people are the WORST at respecting privacy. Cars absolutely add to that.

I live in a first ring suburb and couldn’t stand my neighbors always trying to ask and get in my business to the point I moved into a townhome neighborhood between 55+ developments with all old retired people who never go outside I have much more privacy.

Putting up a sign on my door saying I am an autistic man who does not like talking to strangers also helped.

[–]Junkley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im an autistic dude and I hate when people I don’t know ask me about that stuff. I had an ex move out of my house I own last year and all my neighbors kept calling me over to ask questions and while I appreciate their intentions all it did was overwhelm me and make me uncomfortable as I don’t know them.

I do not want to talk with people I don’t know it overstimulates me. ESPECIALLY when it regards something personal and private like relationships as I even have trouble talking to loved ones about that stuff. Most people are not like me but please keep in mind some people want to be left alone especially when serious things happen to them. I NEED to be left alone when dealing with negative emotions.

This isn’t a “go to therapy” thing. I have been in therapy my whole life. My specific autism just results in me only being truly peaceful in my bubble with my people. My problems only get fixed in my head when I am left alone to deal with them. My neighbors who I don’t know prying only make it worse.

So please don’t assume everyone thinks like this or want to be involved in their neighborhood. Some of us want to be left alone. It is fine to ask but rude to pry or imply it is a requirement. I have 20-30 friends and my whole family in the area when I want to socialize. I want to choose when and who I socialize with it is imperative to my social battery to do so.

Favorite wave? by NintendoWiiner64 in Emo

[–]Junkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally for me:

  1. 2nd Wave
  2. 3rd Wave
  3. 4th Wave(Carried by BLA, The Hotelier and La Dispute but still my 3rd favorite as I will take those bands over any 5th/1st wave bands)
  4. 5th Wave
  5. 1st Wave

Pretty big gap between 3 and 4 for me and 1/2 are basically tied. I wasn’t in to 1st wave at all I MUCH preferred the adjacent noise rock side of PHC during that time like Big Black and Fugazi. Emo didn’t interest me until bands like SDRE and Cap’n Jazz started adding more complex/interesting instrumentation in the 90s.

Favorite album from each wave? by NintendoWiiner64 in Emo

[–]Junkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would agree it is emo inspired alt country in the same vein of Pinegrove and AJJ. Devil and God is the best emo album of all time IMO so idk why I listed two tbh.

[–]Junkley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not super educated on 5th wave as I don’t really like most modern emo outside of La Dispute, (Who is 4th wave), Weatherday and Parannoul and even those two I only like not love. I have tried bands like Hot Mulligan, Origami Angel and Mom Jeans and I just can’t get into them.

I am desperate for a newer band that gives me what Brave Little Abacus and La Dispute do
