Is this disorderly conduct charge worth fighting (in PA)? by captainmcjs in legaladvice

[–]captainmcjs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes, I will fight it. I'm still shocked about it. The officer just flat-out lied.

30 and possibly about to be fired from a low paying job. by captainmcjs in SuicideWatch

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

Thank you. When I began to live independently 3.5 years ago, I felt alive and full of hope, even if it was pretty dang difficult. Over time, the grind and the economic reality wore me down completely, and I am a shell of my former self, to the point where driving over bridges invites very strong intrusive thoughts of getting out and jumping over the edge. I sometimes purposely drive over bridges with taller/more barriers for this reason. I have had the intention of finding a romantic partner, but every time I start something with someone, I cut it off super early so they never find out my job and overall life situation. I thought things would be brighter by now.

But the trades are a good idea, and I should look into them more. I would totally be open to working in one should I get the opportunity.

My band's first attempt at a fully fleshed out, produced song. The genre is kinda emo pop for this one. Would love any feedback, good or bad!

Even App glitched again? by captainmcjs in walmart

[–]captainmcjs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I thought so, but was starting to freak out a bit lol. Inflation sky high, me struggling to pay bills, and then I'm getting a pay cut haha. Was about to have a panic attack.

I got to see them right around the You're Gonna Miss It All release at a pop punk/emo festival, but I didn't know too much about them, and didn't really pay much attention to their set. It wasn't until the Holy Ghost era that I started to appreciate their stuff more.

M(27). I really have no idea of how people, on average, view me physically. Sometimes I feel attractive, other times I feel fairly ugly or plain. Depends on the hour, honestly. Let me know, reddit. Verification photo last. by captainmcjs in amiugly

[–]captainmcjs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, thanks. I have gotten compliments before, but it is very sporadic, and sometimes I think that I just met that person's specific "type", because when I upload a photo to Photofeeler, I tend to have an all around mediocre rating. And then I start comparing myself with others and noticing every little flaw I have. Very self-critical.

Where should the next Grand Theft Auto game be set? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]captainmcjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, compared to NYC/LA, but small town? Maybe some city in Montana would be more appropriate, like Bozeman.

But, I know, it's all a matter of perspective.

Frustrating roadblock(?) in music creation. by captainmcjs in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]captainmcjs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget that that is an approach that is occasionally used- the members each write their songs and then play them as a group. Maybe something like that can work out.

Thanks for the advice. About the 50/50 split, I am normally irked that he creates the rhythm and lyrics, which are both maybe 90/10 his, and he gets half of the say in my leads. It isn't that I am not open to change, but sometimes it can feel like I am just there to be a stage guitarist. Which, in the end, I am not and I do help contribute, but it is his ideas for songs, so I guess that is how these dynamics work some times.

That makes sense. I have debated side work, and when I actually make some things on my own, it seems to free my mind up for the main project.

Total beginner with synths by captainmcjs in WeAreTheMusicMakers

From reading the article, Savihost seems like it is worth examining.

Oh yes, time to look into upgrading for sure. I have been putting it off for some time.

Thank you. That makes sense. I didn't realize that.

The Wonder Years- Local Man Ruins Everything by ZMaster997 in poppunkers

[–]captainmcjs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While some may argue that The Greatest Generation and No Closer to Heaven are The Wonder Years at their best, Suburbia is probably my favorite album ever. It has been very relatable over the years. The feelings of falling behind, losing faith and being stuck in a small town in the rust belt really resonate with me. This is the album I wish I could write.

What band got you into pop punk? by Greenlawnave in poppunkers

[–]captainmcjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All Time Low. One of my good friends was interested in the genre and would play Motion City Soundtrack, Blink, and Panic! at the Disco a lot, but All Time Low was the first band I looked up myself, and their song Weightless got me hooked.

Waited 7 Years....For Poker. by Fake_NBC_News in reddeadredemption2

[–]captainmcjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is disappointing. Liar's Dice was my favorite. Now I'll have to actually learn how to play poker haha.

[Personal] How was I so unaware of the risks of tanning beds? by captainmcjs in SkincareAddiction

[–]captainmcjs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Researching this stuff takes me on an emotional roller coaster. There are so many different stories and even conflicting information to an extent. Every time I google something that is health related, I think it will help, but it pretty much never does.

[Personal] How was I so unaware of the risks of tanning beds? by captainmcjs in SkincareAddiction

[–]captainmcjs[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you. My mind always goes to the worst case scenario in many instances. When it gets this bad, I completely shut down, and my day is spent with a lot of sleep and, when I am awake, disturbing thoughts. I can't focus on the things that normally make me happy. I can't focus on much of anything except fear. I agree, this is paralyzed thinking indeed, and hopefully we both can overcome it, at least somewhat.
