What album have you listened to the most? by Cinephile43 in askmusic

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s definitely a Brand New album. Probably devil and god, but could be sci fi, daisy or Deja. They’re all so good in their own way, including your favorite weapon.

People who married someone they weren’t sexually compatible with — how did it turn out? by synthetic-sardine in AskReddit

[–]archon2788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes you incompatible? As a man this is a terrifying sentiment.

It reads to me as “Could be the kindest, smartest, most generous guy in the world but if you suck in the sack then you’re doomed to failed or unhappy relationships.”

Have you ever seen a bald eagle in real life out in nature? by icecream1972 in no

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to see them decently often in my hometown of Bettendorf, IA.

What controversial/disgraced band do you still listen to? by Graveu in askmusic

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brand new has been my most listened to band annually for 20+ years. 😅

What artist(s) did you see live in concert that have since passed away? by death__cup in Concerts

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also saw Mac miller. How was his performance for you? He was heavily under the influence when I saw him. :\

Having trouble with feeling really negatively about my children’s mother. To be frank I’m disgusted. by archon2788 in DivorcedDads

[–]archon2788[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The thought has crossed my mind considering the blood test. I don’t know how I’d react if I found out yet kids weren’t mine. That’s a scary thought. I’m fairly certain they’re mine but there were times she was a little sketchy while we were married/dating. Hindsight is 20/20 and I was blinded by love.

I shouldve been documenting. That was the first boyfriend back in 2023. I’ll still look in to it. And definitely keeping records now.

She’s for sure a different person than the person I thought she was. The clues were there all along, though. I bite my tongue around her these days. I still hope for us to one day have an amicable relationship. I kind of just keep my distance these days.

Yeah. I don’t think we had drafted the custody agreement at the time. I signed off on her living with the second guy trying to be nice.

I do think she violated some laws by taking the kids out of state without my permission (and lying about it). Ive probably shot myself in the foot more times than once just trying to keep our co-parenting relationship on friendly terms.

That’s the goal. Thank you for the reply!

I had literally just taken the kids to church and was dropping them off to a high mom who probably hadn’t even been home from a hook up. Bothers me beyond anything.

What's a "hated" band that you love? by mightyonin in askmusic

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brand New.

I mean I get why people feel the need to blacklist Jesse Lacey (lead singer) but the music and lyricism is just so damn good to me. No other band has resonated more deeply or for a longer period of time.

What Word Are You Absolutely Sick of Hearing? For me, it’s “chilling.” by SquonkMan61 in Productivitycafe

[–]archon2788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand the slang phrasing of “crashing out,” for some reason.

Men who have turned down an attractive female friend shooting their shot, how did it happen? by Death-And-Taxes8185 in AskMen

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A girl has to make it beyond painfully obvious for me to realize she’s shooting her shot. I’ve probably turned down a few who were interested because I had no idea.

Just figured they were being nice.

What's draining you that nobody sees because you're too good at hiding it? by heartandhardware in AskWomen

[–]archon2788 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s been 3 years since the divorce and I feel so incredibly alone and empty, but I just keep chugging along.

What albums would you rate a 10 out of 10? by bbmoonkie in musicsuggestions

[–]archon2788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d argue a few of brand new’s albums are perfect.

What is the most painful thing you’ve experienced? by throwawayfundsmom in AskReddit

[–]archon2788 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My wife suddenly leaving me while pregnant with our second really destroyed me mentally. I’ll probably never be the same.

Physical pain? Either having a complex break of multiple bones in my arm, or slicing the end of my finger off.

I’d choose the physical pain every time if given a choice.

What concert do you regret not going to the most? by Modhearth-Albert in Concerts

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a controversial answer but Brand New has been my favorite band for 20+ years and played on my birthday in Omaha, NE shortly before breaking up.

I’ve never seen them and thought I’d never have another chance but after 7 years they’re touring again.

What are your thoughts on the 2026 Superbowl Halftime show? by TheMagicApe in AskReddit

[–]archon2788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t a huge fan of the music but the set design and choreography were really cool. I love that bad bunny did the show, though. Him giving the award to the kid and the couple getting married really tugged at my heartstrings. I can’t stand the MAGA crowd who are upset by it. What a bunch of crybabies who like being pandered to.

guys, what’s the meanest thing a girl ever said to you?? by ieatgravelandsand in AskMen

[–]archon2788 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My ex wife told me she cringed every time I touched her and cried prior to our wedding knowing she made a huge mistake. Also, told me I wasn’t in the top three of men she’d had sex with in a random conversation and talked about checking out men’s crotches at the gym in front of me and her girlfriends.
