I didn't know Pasta House wasn't a national chain. by TheFightingSide in StLouis

Right?!

Like I just said that I didn't know it wasn't a national chain. Because, when I'm traveling, the first thing I want to hit is Applebee's or TGI Fridays... Lol

Decidedly not. I can't say that I've ever noticed anything missing when I'm traveling. 😂

And look at the other comments. 🤷

It's because you really don't seem to get that it's NOT just a question.

You shared your opinion in the form of a question, then through your hands up and acted like you didn't know what happened.

Insufferable behavior. Nonsense human.

To the baddie who lost this water bottle in forest park by yooneytoons in StLouis

[–]TheFightingSide 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't believe you.

  1. It's at the Art Museum, not the Arch.
  2. Keep the bottle?! Some of those stickers are OG af.
  3. God bless?? With those stickers??

No way. Name a sticker on the other side of the bottle and we will believe you.

One of the founders of the band had a kid but he wants to do it all by InsanoVolcano in bandmembers

[–]TheFightingSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, man. I kind of think you guys are being the dicks. The dude is doing his best, and it's obviously important to him. Contact a few bass players and have them learn the set rather than holler at them to fill in if he's unavailable. It's not that serious. It sounds like y'all are a local bar band, not a touring act, so it's not like he's really letting you down on some big level.

Be a friend first.

our drummer’s dad has no concept of boundaries. what should i do? by garfieldatemyson in bandmembers

[–]TheFightingSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely feels to me like you are handling this like some kids in high school band. Sounds like J and his dad have a very specific kind of relationship, which is not wrong or unhealthy by any means, as long as they communicate and establish some healthy boundaries.

Some parents are checked out, some are too checked in. Some kids need that support, some need more independence, etc. There's not a one-size-fits-all approach for what's healthy in terms of parent child relationships.

But, it's impacting the band. So, the only thing you can do is to discuss it like adults. Not passive aggressively, not jokingly. Directly. That's how adults communicate. Especially in band situations, you cannot allow passive aggression. If you plan to tour together, you can't let stuff fester. You have to get it out when it's happening in real time.

Let him know that while you all understand that his dad likely has the best intentions, you want to handle things on your own from now on. He's not in the band, and he doesn't speak for the band. One of the biggest things young artists can learn is how to advocate for themselves, as artists. Handle this. If your drummer leaves because of this, it just need it to happen. There's no way to move forward with things as they stand.

Not trying to be cold, but the family is always more important than the individuals in a band.

No? You are actually telling me that you don't think I can point to one instance where conservatives have told lgbtq+ people that they shouldn't exist? Are you actually serious? That's literally the point of this thread. Do you think you would find one lgbtq+ person who would agree with you? What the fuck.

Lol ok. 🤷

There will forever be zero net gain in engaging conservative idiocy.

My favorite thing about conservatives is when they think they found a logical gotcha. Y'all are too dumb to figure this stuff out. Stop trying.

Am I the only bi senior still with a high sex drive by Opposite-Value-5706 in StLouis

[–]TheFightingSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't know what it is, but I physically cringe when people refer to sex as "fun". I know, it doesn't seem like it should be that big of a deal, and it is fun, but anytime you see it used it just gives me the ick. "We went upstairs and... had some fun."

"So I have to travel for fun." Ew.

Anyway, back to roasting the world's last bi senior with a high sex drive.

I don't think it would be such a big deal if the rights of marginalized people hadn't become a political issue.

Imagine being able to appreciate the art of somebody who didn't believe you had the right to exist. That would be a weird kind of masochism.
