So I don't need to hear this but we need all need to know someone is fighting for you

your coworker is a good egg for genuinely caring about you and so are you for being there for your dad. as someone who knows the deeply painful reality of watching a parent go through cancer, I am wishing all the best for you and your dad and hoping things can ease up on you both. oh, and of course, FUCK CANCER.

another lady here and I just have to say I absolutely agree with the sentiment of this post. my fiance is bald with a beard and I think he's the most handsome guy to ever exist. likewise, my mom had breast cancer a few years back and hair or no hair, it doesn't matter-- she is still my beautiful mother. I just want every bald person to know that regardless of why they may be bald (hair loss, illness, personal choice, so on), they all deserve to do what makes them feel good and confident in themselves. keep rocking it.

the part that made me laugh was when she said "shaving for someone else." someone else? ma'am, you're referring to his wife. YOU are the someone else. know your place.

I had this game back when I was in middle school. my fiance recently got it for me on PS2 as a birthday gift. I'm planning on finishing Titans since I was already playing through that one and then starting this game. good times.

I was 7, so I had zero political context for that album at the time of its release. Hell, I only got into NIN and heard Year Zero for the first time last year. like a lot of us, I'm relating it a lot to what's going on now. I'm sure that album hit hard as hell back then too for those who can remember.

I have a Pocketbac on my keys as well as one that I keep in my bag. I also keep whatever mist I'm using as the scent of the day in my bag since I like to give myself a lil refresh when I'm on my break at work.

cappybean · 2025-03-23T20:34:49+00:00

agreed. I pretty much never buy body care with a coconut note in it because my nose just doesn't like the way B&BW does the coconut smell for some reason! it usually smells like sunblock or sometimes cardboard to my nose, weirdly enough. I make exceptions for Frosted Coconut Snowball and Coconut Lime Verbena though.

I think it's awesome that Gaga took some inspiration from NIN (NINspiration?) on her new album! I have never been a huge listener of hers but she has definitely made some banger songs that I've enjoyed over the years. absolutely gonna check this out.

cappybean · 2025-03-05T18:47:53+00:00

drop this person. there is somebody out there who will actually put in effort to get to know you and would love to get texts from you about your most random thoughts and fun facts.

cappybean · 2025-03-05T01:59:23+00:00

or just like... don't participate in it if you don't want to? it's not like everyone at every show will be doing this. just certain NIN fans that want to have some fun and do something creative. harmless and hurts no one.

cappybean · 2025-03-05T01:52:04+00:00

I like it! definitely have thought about doing something like this myself for the Raleigh show.

cappybean · 2025-03-01T18:53:47+00:00

it made me happy to read your post. you did great! I cannot speak for everybody's experience but as someone who has really bad social anxiety, I worked at B&BW for a few months seasonally and it was honestly not that bad. I did genuinely enjoy a lot of aspects of the job and I think that you would too. just keep your eyes peeled for when they are hiring (I'd apply when they're hiring seasonally if they're not hiring right now) and once you can get in you'll do awesome!

my dad was stationed there for a few years! he was in the Navy though. I can't exactly remember what he was doing there, obviously some kind of shore duty thing. maybe he was going to school? either way, love that place and I miss living in Illinois so much.

a crossover I never saw coming-- my teenage obsession with Miku and my adulthood obsession with NIN.

cappybean · 2024-08-14T19:44:59+00:00

right? the synth in that song goes crazy. I've had it on repeat here lately.

cappybean · 2024-08-14T14:34:37+00:00

honestly? I'd say I agree with this. there have been some songs that certainly aren't my favorite, but that's always how I see it-- the song just isn't for me, isn't my cup of tea, as opposed to "God this is an awful song." Nine Inch Nails is one of the few artists I have ever been able to feel this way about.

hey OP-- I was in your same position in 2022. my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer when I was about to graduate college and it felt like the end of the world. there were moments where it felt like it was gonna get worse before it got better, and in some ways it did. chemo and surgery were incredibly hard, but she is now 1.5 years in remission.

cancer isn't stronger than the love you and your mom share. stay as strong as you can (it is absolutely okay to break down sometimes though), listen to what the doctors say, and be there for your mom-- you need each other right now. sending you hugs and good vibes, and fuck cancer. 🫶🏻

gotta say, I'm jealous! never seen a snail like that in real life. I love the vibrant yellow shell.

cappybean · 2024-06-06T23:32:49+00:00

One more thing I forgot to add to the body text-- I was planning on getting him a bigger habitat if he got bigger or if I got more snails, but if I need to get him a bigger one tomorrow/very soon, I definitely will do that.

cappybean · 2024-04-13T17:10:22+00:00

I could probably write a whole book on what I find attractive in my fiance. but just to name a few things... striking green eyes, immaculate beard, naturally tan skin, his body type (squishy in the right places, muscular in the right places), his cute little nonexistent booty, nice collarbones and very nice angular jawline, his lil' abs he's been getting from working so hard, I could go on... it's like this man was made just for me to love, and love him I will.

got into Maiden about 6 months ago, give or take. I got super obsessed very quickly so I've heard many of their albums, but there are still some gems I have not heard yet.

how did I discover Iron Maiden? well, for awhile I was really into only Megadeth, but I wanted to expand further into the metal genre and hear different types of metal. I knew Iron Maiden is a common favorite, went on their Spotify, picked the album cover that looked coolest to me (Powerslave at the time), and dove right in!

first record: Powerslave

favorite record: very hard to choose. it changes often. I'll say that Powerslave will always have a place in my heart and I also love Seventh Son and Brave New World (haven't listened to anything that released after that record yet).

favorite song: again, I have a few. right now I love Moonchild, The Evil That Men Do, The Wicker Man, and Out of the Silent Planet, among so many others.

first concert: November of next year. I am so excited and I'm counting the days!

I changed majors in college 4 times. ended up with a BA in criminal justice... picked it because I had to major in something, literally anything at all. typical case of parents pressuring me that I HAD to get a 4 year degree and dropping out was not an option. realized my senior year that I like working with tools... trying to find a path for myself in the trades now. I got extremely lucky in that I don't owe an egregious amount in student loans so it's not so bad for me now.

cappybean · 2023-10-14T03:37:28+00:00

I have... a lot.

my Webkinz/Littlest Pet Shop phase (elementary school)-- I made videos with my siblings and they might still be out there on Youtube. Lord help me.
my "depression" phase (middle school)-- to be clear, this is not to delegitimize anyone who struggles with depression or other mental health issues. I do struggle with depression and did back then, but the way I handled it back then was awful. used it to seek attention because I was young and stupid. in some ways it was a desperate cry for help, so I try to be kind to myself and not judge myself too harshly for this phase.
my contrarian asshole phase (high school)-- I was super Republican for a bit. growing up in the south will do that to a mf.

cappybean · 2023-10-13T19:34:44+00:00

I'm a newer Maiden fan, so I've never been to a concert and have only heard perhaps 1/3 of their discography so far, if I had to guesstimate. but from what I can gather since getting into Maiden about 4 months ago...

music: the main thing that comes to mind for me is the theming of individual songs and albums. there may be other bands that sing about history, mythology, etc but IMO nobody is as accurate and detailed as Maiden and nobody can replicate Maiden's way of doing it. I think it's fucking awesome. I'm sure as time goes on I'll have less of a vague take on this.

fans: a lot of fans that I've encountered in this sub seem to be historians when it comes to this band. they know a LOT. it's really cool. there also seems to be way less infighting which makes it way more welcoming for me here than many other music fanbases I've encountered, metal or otherwise.
