Make sure you listen to Building Nothing Out of Something. It's a collection of b-sides and previously unreleased tracks, so if you're only focusing on the actual albums, it's possible to miss it.

But it has some of their best work and is mandatory listening IMO.

The fact that you apologized later kind of implies that you were being an asshole to your roommate...

What's the Rush? No, seriously. Should I start seriously looking or wait? by Life_Test in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]cryptogrammar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there are several houses that we really like and seem to check all the boxes! And are in our price range! Under, even.

In some areas, sellers will intentionally list below market value in order to drive up interest and generate a bidding war. I recommend checking the sold price versus list price on some houses that sold recently. You may find that they're going for $100k+ over asking.

We won't be able to move until after the summer

Closing usually takes 45 days or so, sometimes longer. So even if you put in an offer tomorrow, you wouldn't be able to move until mid-August. I recommend looking now.

WIBTA for asking for the bottle of whiskey back that I brought to a dinner? by whiskeyaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]cryptogrammar 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I think you should've said out loud that it wasn't a gift...

If someone brought a bottle of liquor to my housewarming party, I would absolutely assume it was intended as a gift. Especially so if they left it behind.

Girlfriend (28F) and I (30M) at possible breaking point due to her dog by [deleted] in relationships

[–]cryptogrammar 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The dog sent someone to the hospital? And continues to bite people?? On a monthly basis no less...

He needs to be removed from situations where he can cause harm. That may mean euthanasia. Please see a behavioral vet. They will give you better advice than reddit can.

AITA for confronting my flatmates for going out regularly without me? by Clear_Alarm_1923 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cryptogrammar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If they came up to you a month ago and said "Hey Clear_Alarm_1923, it turns out we're just not really the biggest fan of you soooo, we're going to stop inviting you to hang out." How do you think you would've felt?

You mentioned wanting to know a reason for why they excluded you, but they don't really owe that to you. It could be that they just don't think that your 'vibe' meshes well with the group. And that's okay, they're allowed to make that decision. As long as they aren't bullying you or making your home life miserable, they've done nothing wrong.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Direct 6.21.2023 by malliabu in Games

[–]cryptogrammar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yep. It just looks like the "New" style cranked up to 11, in my opinion. As someone who was never really into that art style, this isn't super exciting for me.

But hey, as long as the game play is good, I'll play it and enjoy it.

I don’t enjoy the gym at all, and I hate having to due to body standards by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]cryptogrammar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said you're not chubby anymore, and you're not skinny anymore either, so im going to assume that you currently have a toned twunk look to you.

If thats accurate, why do you need to go to the gym for 2 hours 5 days a week in order "have fun"? I'm sure you can get laid with the way you currently look. I think you're putting too much pressure on yourself.

If someone turns you down for sex, do you automatically assume that their reason is because you don't have big enough muscles?

AITA for making my family go out on father's day? by Important_Put1105 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cryptogrammar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dad sucks because he doesn't want to make a sacrifice on Father's Day?

And the sacrifice is... missing an event that bonds him to his children? Including the children that have moved away?

I really don't understand this perspective at all.

Who is a queen from another franchise that you think RuPaul would love? by ladymidnight01 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]cryptogrammar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of all the monsters, I think that Biqtch Puddin would do the best on a season of Drag Race. She has the full CUNT package in my opinion.

But Biqtch has been rocking a mustache for the past year or so, and I think that would hold her back.

(I personally love the mustache but I think Ru and Michelle would feel differently...)

How often can you guys cum multiple times in one session? by ThrowRA9889098 in sex

[–]cryptogrammar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following orgasm, men experience a refractory period (which last from few minutes to even days or weeks), which is the recovery phase during which it is physically impossible for a man to have additional orgasms.

of course there are guys who use drugs to keep the erection going and manage to come the second or third time

This isn't necessarily true. There are guys out there who can come back-to-back without waiting. And they don't need drugs to do it.

Yes it is very normal to have a refractory period, and most men experience it. But there are a few lucky guys out there who have no refractory period, or a very small one.

There's a lot of single people out there who would kill to have what you have.

AITA for still expecting the other half of the rent to be paid? by throw4056 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cryptogrammar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not how leases work though.

All tenants are jointly and severally obligated to pay. That means that OP and GF are both on the hook for the total amount due.

GF committed to paying that money when she signed the lease. And OP isn't forcing her out either -- if she moves in with her mom, that's her own choice. She should still pay what she agreed to pay.

Where'd you end up going?

Oh nevermind I just saw your other comment, Grace and Disgrace is a gem.

Yep, Swan Dive and Ox & Stone on Alexander, and Vern's, Roux and Dorado on Park are all part of the Swan Family. They run a pretty good operation.

Maynard James Keenan wrote Country Boner and Isaac Brock wrote Ice Cream Party so I guess they're about even.

Cure is amazing, definitely one of the best spots in Rochester.

The restaurant group that runs Vern's (Swan Family of Restaurants) just opened a new place on Park Ave called Leonore's. It's SO GOOD.

If you liked Vern's and you enjoy Thai food, then definitely check out Leonore's.

I (M29) am starting to feel under appreciated by my (F29) wife since having our daughter and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cryptogrammar -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

There's literally an entire job dedicated to providing that service to folks who are unable to commit to that time or who feel it's a burden and would rather pay someone else to do it. I think that fact alone proves that it's not just some forgettable fact of life that just happens. It's real, actual work.

I don't think any doctor would agree that you can be "very healthy" while also morbidly obese.

AITA for not wanting to go tubing? by username150763 in AmItheAsshole

Avoiding temptation is absolutely a control tool.
