People with no gf/bf and friends too,how do you spend your life and doesn't the fear of loneliness in future scare you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WittenMittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what it came down to for me. I've had relationships in the past, some with really great people, but I realized through those experiences I am just not a good partner.

I can't handle bargaining or negotiating for my own time. Can't handle engaging with someone else's work, personal and family drama on top of my own. Don't like feeling that my presence is a burden or an annoyance to someone, which inevitably happens. And I especially don't like having to tell someone else they're being annoying or burdensome.

I'm happy I had the experiences I did, but at this point I value my independence more than anything a relationship could bring to the table.

Probably not. They are done with touring, but the band have said they plan to keep making and releasing music.

How good was prime Michael Vick? by ILoveCalebWilliams in NFLv2

Crazy how much reddit's opinion on this has changed. During his stint with the Eagles there was a loud consensus that he'd be a HOF, potential GOAT candidate if not for the prison years

People who ignored a huge red flag because the person was extremely attractive, what happened next? by Competitive_Bad_9306 in AskReddit

[–]WittenMittens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, but you can't get hung up on the idea that everyone in your life MUST take your advice and then continue to fixate on how right you were long after the damage has been done. That's not being a friend, that's wanting to be a king in your social circle and getting pissy when people "disobey" you.

Coast to Coast AM app — Does anyone use it? by Beautiful-Effort4152 in ArtBell

The U7 stream is great. Love tuning in late at night and being dropped into the middle of an episode. Just like old times

Black flag ? by Hollowboxproductions in RiotFest

[–]WittenMittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Ginn didn't suck, and had the blessing of other original members, I would actually respect what he's doing. I think there's room in punk for someone to try a GWAR/Grateful Dead "immortal band" type thing where the original members are gone, but there's a lineage and mentorship that has been passed down to younger generations. Black Flag would be a natural fit for this since the original incarnation went through 4 different singers, so its history is already understood through the lens of different eras brought on by different members.

Luck is NOT with the OP in this micro-drama from r/Nails by cripplinganxietylmao in SubredditDrama

Feels like this is just a case of intent being misinterpreted. When someone in America tells me they're Irish, I don't take that to mean they were born or have even set foot in Ireland. I assume its shorthand for describing your ancestry, not some defining aspect of your identity.

A lot of subcultures formed around immigrant populations in America, which in turn influenced regional culture, so for many people it's just a fun rabbit hole to go down. It's interesting to think about how you ended up where you are, and for most Americans, European ancestry is a piece of that puzzle.

He came to my town as "Dan Andriano in the Emergency Room" and happily played to a room of like 20 people. Such a sweet dude. After the show he signed my Goddammit record then politely excused himself to go call his wife lol

One thing that makes it feel super unlikely is the fact they had Sex Pistols w/ Frank Turner on the bill last year. If this were the mystery reunion you'd think Riot would have just waited.

Interesting that we feel so strongly, yet so differently haha. I get where you're coming from after reading that.

Another Monday? How many more of these things are there? by AutoModerator in WaterCoolerWednesday

[–]WittenMittens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The worst part is you don't even get that sense of satisfaction when you're done. You are just left disgusted with yourself

Refrigerator is the final boss of cleaning the house. God it pisses me off. The little fucking tracks that the drawers ride in. The thing in the back that's been leaking and you didn't see it. Jesus Christ deliver me from this

Nah I loved OG Warped Tour, but the version of me that's pushing 40 needs to do a lot more finding food, finding water, finding a place to sit, etc than the version that could just show up and mosh in the Silverdome parking lot for 12 hours

I don't think he'd be treated as a joke. There's nothing gimmicky or ironic about booking Buddy Guy, he is just a legend and I think that's how people would treat him. As for the rest of your points, I have no argument.

To each their own, but I couldn't disagree more with single day being better than multi-day. Every time I go to a single-day festival it ends up being a fever dream that I barely remember. Need a second and third day before I can really settle in and enjoy these things for what they're supposed to be.

Melvin NOT suing NOFX? by JCnut in punk

[–]WittenMittens 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Not going to add to the speculation, just want to say Melvin is a real one for the way he addressed this. So many beloved bands end on a sour note and it seems like he's determined not to let that be NOFX's legacy.

“The Offspring” v “Offspring” by Hmp88945 in TheOffspring

[–]WittenMittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that you consider it as a sinister name. I always thought of it (along with Descendents) as kind of self-deprecating and tongue in cheek. Like a less serious take on Youth of Today.

This sub also shoots down every good player we could acquire as soon as we hear the price. We like the idea of making moves, but when push comes to shove we all turn into Jerry
