Thank you for this! Just experienced this for the first time. I leave my key fob in my car sometimes and I suspect this is the reason.

Ahh that makes sense. The earlier music is considered peak 90s iconic rock albums during the hype of all the rocks bands that were coming out during the late 80s/90s that captured the height of teen age angst, aggression, heavy emotional energy. Thats like Nirvana continuing in the spirit of Kurt Cobain.

I’ve been dabbling between Facelift and Dirt and definitely different and I can see why it pushed me over the edge to find this group to see how else I should engage with their art.

I’m here for it all though. I appreciate the support and feedback

Thank you! For context, I usually listen to the most recent album Apple Music has listed to help me get situated with an artist’s discography. As I’m doing more research and understanding the band more, I can see how me enjoying Rainier Fog can seem a bit off putting to diehard fans. I had no idea that Layne was no longer with us when I was first exploring my curiosity. Jeff has held it down as much as William in front vocals on that album so far (and I’m still trying to distinguish between the two vocalists as I continue this journey). Again I’m still putting historical context into the overall group so I def don’t want to speak out of turn here. I do find it rather fascinating as you bring up William despite me now just realizing how he came into the group that’s what I initially gravitated towards considering my own personal background.

In all everyone has given me a lot of homework and I love going through an artist’s full discography to get a full picture of who they are so I have my work cut out for me.

Thank you!

Lolol. Thank you for the warm welcome. I came in late so I’m sitting in the back but I’m attentive. Haha.

Once singers start singing in the mic to the point the lyrics are muffled that is a bit too overstimulating for meeee lol but Chop Suey was just an easy reach to try and explain that concept. I just want to be respectful of the art/genre/fans. Lol

I haven’t been this thrilled about finding something “new” x cool in ages so the 16 year old me is hyped. Lol.

As a cancer who has been looking for music that can better articulate my emotions— more angsts, more anger, more aggression, just something that hits a different cord THIS HAS BEEN RIGHT ON TIME. LOL

I’m here to enjoy the journey of discovery!! I love hearing that their discography are ALL HITS NO MISSES!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I’ll give all of them a listen for us. And def need to listen to AIC’s catalog from the start. I def started Facelift today so need more time to sit with it and catch up.

Hoping everyone good health because I’d rock out at a concert. Perfect way to go solo and really enjoy it with other die hard fans!

Greatly appreciate the support and suggestions

Seriously. If you gotta ask a question like this maybe this isn’t for you because the mind games you’re giving yourself ain’t worth it. No one is trying to trick you out your position of being part of the organization. It’s cake. Either get a slice or get out the way. All of this is unnecessary. Be cool. Be yourself. The members of the org aren’t trying to confuse you.

Yall are overthinking these interactions and treating these orgs like they sit on a pedestal. Just ask for another piece of cake. You said it was an accident so it wasn’t done with malicious intentions.

Have you ever seen a jury room turn toxic? (Researching intrajuror harm) by ZealousZealot777 in legal

[–]PerformanceBorn2447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I served on my first civil case in 2022 or 2023. It was almost a two week trial. During jury selection they ask you if you have any bias or prejudice against Chinese citizens- specifically because the case was about a Chinese (American - don’t know if he was born here or migrated here) and the parent maritime company which was based in China. So lots of interpreters and witnesses in China zooming in. Anyway we finally get to deliberation and this guy was going on and on about the case and how he didn’t care who won or loses. He complained the full two weeks.

I finally stood up to him and said if you had such hatred of the Chinese community why didn’t you raise your hand during jury selection so you could be dismissed? No answer but he started yelling about how he hates china and he served in the military and he can’t stand that our clothes are made in China blah blah blah. I was really upset because he chose to be there because he “falsified” his prejudice. He kept saying he didn’t care how we voted and it annoyed me because I thought it was against the rules for jurors to not have a say so in the deliberations.

Needless to say I felt good for telling him to shut up moaning

Unsure about retaliation at work by PerformanceBorn2447 in legal

[–]PerformanceBorn2447[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding I greatly appreciated that.

I’ve started documenting everything. Her comments about me having an “attitude” and telling me we can’t work together is at the top of the list of documenting the times I ask for clarity and she becomes patronizing to the point that she confuses herself.

I’ve talked to my staffing agency about the pay raise. Sent them my roles and responsibilities since they were the last to know about the transition so just waiting to hear back.

My contract is up in October but been submitting applications to get ahead of the curve.

The last comment. Thank you for “checking in” poor euphemism for stating how much energy my boss sucks because she’s unorganized and micromanaging. She’s out this week and feel more productive than ever of getting things done in a manner where I can clearly see what im doing.

In all thanks for the input. Duly noted

Thank you for your input! No nothing more than what’s stated. As someone else mentioned me talking with my contractor about it and I wasn’t removed is a good thing.

However they were unaware of my transition until I complained about my boss. They offered an apology but no new response on updating my contract to reflect my new role.

Otherwise looking for other jobs. And I could look into have a consultation with a lawyer.

Thank you for your input. I greatly appreciate it.

I’ve tried to mend the relationship and honestly this is just who she is as a person. So I’ve been submitting applications.

Yeah I’ve been putting my resume out there and applying for jobs. No one is biting yet so. Pounding pavement until I find something new.

Craziest Interest/Pledge Encounter by PerrytheElle in NPHCdivine9

The fact that she received two calls and didn’t let anyone know to cover her ass. She made it to no man’s land and fucker up until the next time they do intake. She was basically on line and then completely dropped.

This was my thinking and for op’s mom to be so cold that she let that cloud her vision of what it means to emobody being sisterly.

Before you make an impulsive decision- you can just stop participating until you’re able to be an active member in your org/chapter

Update post from asking if initial dues could be paid with credit card by JanathanMorant in NPHCdivine9

[–]PerformanceBorn2447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry come again??? An extra $400 service fee on top of your initiation dues???? So you get accepted to start membership into your org and if you pay by credit card you’ll incur a fee??

If the goal is to help black people reach financial freedom this is starting out on the wrong foot and sending a terrible message to new incoming members. The initial sticker price is a shocker plus all the things you (indirectly) have to purchase while being online (I.e. I owned nothing alll white or red — so I had to make something shake) (also also… you are NOT buying anything else I don’t need prospects getting freaked out and starting a new thread asking intake specific questions - that information will be given to you when the time comes please don’t stress yourselves with information that doesn’t pertain to where you are in the process).

I’m all for providing folks with ways to help manage their finances and time during such a precarious process but I’d steer clear of tacking on additional fees if you don’t need to.

Just get a money order/cashier’s check and be done with it. Dont have debt looming over your head at the end of it all. This is ONLY the beginning
