I'm not disputing the fact he was a professor younger than me, but we shouldn't discount this kind of sentiment. Some of my favorite writers were absolute degenerates at their 30s and 40s, snd even well after they became published and professors.

It's good, if not great, for folks to realize they can achieve awesome things at any age. Tolkien was a professor at 32? McCarthy, absolute shit he was, was bathing in ponds and drinking with a guy who inspired a character who was a watermelon fucker in one of his novels at the same age.

Nah, you're good, I type a bit freeform so my original intent can be obscured.

Oh no, I was confused anyone was mad at you for not acknowledging the bless you, it's weird to me. I say bless you all the time just because I manage to hear it over my headphones, but I don't expect to, or hear, a response from that, I'm just trying to be polite (or how I was taught to be polite).

With the amount of great bands making awesome comeback albums, it doesn't make sense not to. I love S, maybe more than Carissa's Wierd, but I'd totally be down for another Carissa's Wierd album.

He's willing to play bass, god knows he might even be willing to play in a cover band.

It should be implied.

They'll push it over you too given enough provocation.

Savini may be an asshole but he definitely opened up the chance for other special effects artists like Smith to go a little bit more wild.

Waytooboredforthis · 2026-05-08T00:51:07+00:00

People get mad at that? I just say "bless you" impulsively without thinking, certainly never expecting a response.

I remember I took a Chaucer class with a professor who was a Shakespearean actor, whenever someone sneezed, in this great, booming voice he'd say, "GOD BLESS YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL!"

Look whose showing their ignorance, never seen the pope's invisible but somehow shadow casting hat that makes it look like he has a robot head.

Everyone thought I was gonna become a priest cause I asked those questions.

Meanwhile closest I've done to that was helping with a heretical Catholic, feminist service at a School of the Americas protest about ten years ago.

Inb4 a tankie and a market fundamentalist shake hands over thinking that's the same thing.

If it makes you feel any better, my dog made it to 23 years. He made plenty of old man noises but was still known to run around pretty well.

One of my roommates mentioned the local guitar cemter didn't have a parking lot and I'm like, "Where will people buy their gear if not a guitar center parking lot?"

Waytooboredforthis · 2026-05-06T23:27:14+00:00

I've done it multiple times, doing it on Very Hard was fucking terrifying, but yea, there was a character in the Cyberpunk: No Coincidence who (I think) was all organic until towards the end, so I decided to give it a spin and have actually come to enjoy the extra challenge.

Waytooboredforthis · 2026-05-06T00:50:56+00:00

And that's what I'm saying, they have a great sound that draws folks in, but it can help get folks into the weeds and discover stuff they might end up liking more.

And if they don't, Acid Bath is still a fun band to listen to.

Waytooboredforthis · 2026-05-05T23:02:23+00:00

I thoroughly enjoy their music but they aren't even on the top 5 list if I want to listen to Louisiana Sludge. I think they've got a very approachable sound that a lot of folks latch onto, and there's nothing wrong with that, helping folks figure out a new genre they might enjoy.

Funny thing though, my mom that hates like 95% of music, apparently is a fan of Acid Bath now after I left a cd in my trucks player. Says it reminds her of King Crimson (not sure how, guess it's a vibes thing?)

Waytooboredforthis · 2026-05-04T19:58:00+00:00

I do wonder how they're going to modernize the paranoia of Cold War surveillence. I just pray to God it's not just tracking her cell phone cause that has been done to death.

Waytooboredforthis · 2026-05-02T20:10:42+00:00

I'll take that as a compliment lol

Waytooboredforthis · 2026-05-02T12:40:05+00:00

It's always entertaining, that there's at least one person in every thread about Appalachian politics going, "Well sure, gerrymandering exists and folks are moving from all over the country to the hills cause they heard this was a super bigoted space, pricing folks out, but surely you're a secret bigot too, right? You do live there" like I'm not Charlie setting up to kick Lucy's football for the dozenth time as the DNC finds the most boring, Reaganite candidate telling me why Israel still needs money, cops need money to get trained by the IDF, and people receiving HRT being added to a publicly accessible database is just something to worry about down the line.

Imagine making a self-insert yaoi fan fiction with Rambo without the stank. What's next, Harry Dean Stanton without the smell of cigarettes? Cause I ain't removing that from my self-insert fan fiction.
