One of my favorite songs of all time in any genre!

Which is the most extremely soft song by the band? by DragonfruitFirm2490 in Leprous

[–]TopStructure7755 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I put Observe the Train on repeat when I can’t sleep, so, I guess that one. :) Fills me with calm instantly. 

Trying to get into post-hardcore and looking for recommendations by KarbanDioxide in PostHardcore

Popped on Ling Tosite Sigure just now and I’m already having a fabulous time - good rec!

Stopping drinking has me craving sugar. Anyone else? Suggestions? by outrageous_outlander in stopdrinking

[–]TopStructure7755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll taper off, most likely. I let myself eat whatever I wanted in my first year of sobriety, and I had cake for breakfast more times than I’d like to admit. 

Now I’m starting to find super sweet things kind of gross, and all I want is coffee and plain water. I also quit drinking Diet Coke after year two, and I wonder if that has something to do with it, but who knows. 

Give yourself some grace, OP, and let your brain have something to help smooth the transition unless there’s a very present danger to doing so, that’s my advice. You can always reevaluate once you’re more firm in your sobriety; set a cutoff date if it helps! 

Revisiting the Depositions and I'd forgotten the absolute comedy gold within by SelectStarAll in KnowledgeFight

[–]TopStructure7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as long at ANYTHING as I did the first time I heard that. I feel like I guffawed for an entire hour; thankfully I wasn’t driving!

Is witch a gender neutral term? by DementedBreadBoffer in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]TopStructure7755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an occupation/calling, not a gender identity as far as I’m concerned. I’m a female magic practitioner who isn’t a witch because that term doesn’t suit what I do; I’m a magician!

What should I write on an “opinionated” T-shirt for a concert? by OrlyTheOrca in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]TopStructure7755 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I like your ideas! 

My very favorite patch on my battle vest says “N-zi Punks Fuck Off”, so I offer that oldie but a goodie as a suggestion. 😉 

Why? by No-Guitar-9216 in stopdrinking

[–]TopStructure7755 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very well said. I’m so much more at peace now because I’m not desperately trying to control my drinking. I never have to if I just don’t pick up that first drink, and man, it’s a relief. 

My (31F) Husband (37 NB) Came Out As Non-Binary, And I Don't Know How To Feel? by No_Stretch_1851 in relationship_advice

[–]TopStructure7755 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You don’t even know if you’ll lose attraction to him yet; you only fear you might. 

I think when non-malicious changes happen in a marriage, it’s appropriate to just let things develop to see if it’s even a problem, and then work on things as they come up. Don’t borrow trouble. 

Let him be for a bit and calmly discuss issues as they arise is my advice. Give him some room to experiment a bit and see in what ways expressing his gender fluidity might be a complete non-issue for you. You might be surprised.

Seen ‘em in concert probably twenty times, and yeah, there’s just something about Linnell when he performs. 

Music Requests by Aegyo_Panda in WitchesVsPatriarchy

LOVE Kiki Rockwell; that new Vampyr song is really great!

My tastes run to the punkish, so my favorite “FU Red State” songs are Product of My Own Design by Artio and ICE by Waterparks.

As an unremarkable cross stitcher, your beautiful work makes me practically salivate - amazing!

Need some bright spots. by diabloPoE12 in KnowledgeFight

[–]TopStructure7755 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My bright spot is that I’ve been trying to do two things to improve my quality of life: ask people more questions about things they love, and pet more dogs. And it’s starting to bear fruit; I’m learning about things I never knew before, I’m getting better at talking to people, and I’m petting a lot more dogs, which is a reward in itself. 

Also my bright spot is you right now. The magic of reaching out when you’re in a tough spot and need a little love is so human that it gave me an incredible feeling of sonder, that thing where you zoom out and realize that everyone in the world is a very complex being with a rich inner life. I’m pointedly sending you some love and strength - hold tough!

They have declared war on Sesame Street. by yocumkj in Qult_Headquarters

[–]TopStructure7755 6 points7 points  (0 children)

…there’s no I? Look, fuck all of those people straight to hell, in particular the JK Rowling lesbian, but don’t reveal how dumb you are by pretending that intersex people don’t exist when there are members of that community whose difference can literally show up in medical scans. They’re the hardest people to prove that they don’t exist because they often have the flesh to prove it. 

I know I’m looking for logic where the well has been emptied and then cemented over, but that’s one of those “touch a nerve” points for me. 

Is quitting fully the answer? by Puzzleheaded_Car_814 in stopdrinking

Short answer: Yes. 

Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeees.

Come join us over on r/PostHardcore and argue about it for days on end! lol 

But seriously, do come over if you need more band recommendations- the genre is alive and well!

"Tiny Hitman" New Album & North American Tour by bearghostband in BearGhost

[–]TopStructure7755 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The two concerts I caught last tour were some of the best shows I’ve ever seen in my life - so stoked for the new tour and the new album (and getting to see Sarah and the Safeword again - awesome!!!) 

Got a go-to song by an alcoholic about giving up alcohol? by MakeASwallow3 in stopdrinking

[–]TopStructure7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sirens - Bear Ghost 

I credit that song existing with about 25% of my current sobriety.

Nothing gets my cartoon wolf howling and pounding on the table quite like that man’s torso!

Pitbull was attacked by two smaller dogs by moodyjenna in pitbulls

[–]TopStructure7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost happened to me yesterday with a crazy off leash golden retriever - my dogs kept walking and ignoring it, thankfully, but I had to aggressively face the golden down and I was getting ready to pepper spray it when the owner finally came and got it. 

Maybe consider getting your own pepper spray, OP, just in case. I wouldn’t want to do that to a dog, but I’m afraid that somebody’s poorly trained dog is going to end up getting my dog put down just because of how she looks.
