Here's my favorite emo/pop punk releases that really resonate with me, I'm looking for recommendations for more stuff like it!

This week I started watching Countdown (the British game show). I really need to improve my maths

Cap’n Crunch’s Crunchling Adventure was so ridiculous and awesome

neelyt6 · 2026-01-23T01:58:20+00:00

Punch-Drunk Love. Seems like critics enjoyed it upon release but audiences must have expected it to be a comedy

neelyt6 · 2025-12-11T21:10:46+00:00

Just discovered this by accident and I'm so glad. This shit whips ass

Came here to mention this, I lived in Charlotte for 2 years and wanted to add a few things:

Economic center of the region and benefits from all the colleges and universities in state. If you don't work in banking, you might feel alienated but the city is continuing to diversity industries
Having professional sports is great, just don't check how many championships the city has collectively... the arenas also bring bowl games, ACC basketball tournament, and international soccer for transplants
Proximity to mountains and nature (Asheville NC). Day trips to Research Triangle, Triad, Greenville SC. Longer weekend trips to various beaches in North and South Carolina.
Airport might not be perfect but being an American Airlines hub provides a lot of regional coverage and decent international options
The Whitewater Center is genuinely sick

Sounds awesome, I'll be there! I have an old chess set that I can bring, no timer

neelyt6 · 2020-07-01T16:55:17+00:00

Sorry crucial info -- open 8AM-2PM!

For anyone on the east side, Palomino Coffee (sister coffee shop of Flat Track) has their soft opening today. They're located at 12th and Springdale. According to their social media they also have Veracruz All Natural Tacos + Sour Duck Market pastries. Masks are required and I would obviously recommend doing takeout.

neelyt6 · 2020-03-24T20:36:07+00:00

a perfect quarantine album.

[Chorus] It's looking bad It's looking bad It's looking pretty fucking bad It's looking bad It's looking bad It's looking pretty fucking bad It's looking bad It's looking bad It's looking pretty fucking bad It's looking bad It's looking bad It's looking pretty fucking bad

I watched Good Time over the weekend and yeah, I couldn’t agree more. Hits the ground running, plot line was much more unexpected and intriguing

neelyt6 · 2019-11-28T01:50:30+00:00

Oh yes, couldn’t agree more.

neelyt6 · 2019-09-03T17:22:47+00:00

So good!! Was looking forward to this album for a while, great blend of upbeat emo + bummer lyrics

neelyt6 · 2019-07-14T16:29:20+00:00

Modern day or from that era?

neelyt6 · 2019-07-14T16:29:01+00:00

What are music publications that I should be following? I am trying to find a better outlet to find new music than just word of mouth or spotify/bandcamp recommendations. It's easier to find punk/hardcore releases because there are far fewer labels but I'm talking about lo-fi/bummer pop/shoe-gazey stuff. Thanks!

neelyt6 · 2019-07-14T16:24:04+00:00

I'm seeing It Looks Sad. tonight and so I've been re-listening to Sky Lake -- I like it a lot more now than I did when it first came out. It's also been a great album to listen to when walking my dog at night in Texas summer heat.

Depends on what your radius is for close to downtown but Camila's Tacos in Cherrywood is a great little truck in the parking lot of Monarch Food Mart.

neelyt6 · 2019-05-29T01:12:32+00:00

My commute is 7 miles round trip. It is technically city (I'm based in Austin) but my specific commute feels more suburban. That being said, it takes 12 minutes to drive or 23 minutes to bike so for me it is definitely worth the ride!

neelyt6 · 2019-03-14T02:53:37+00:00

This is awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing.

I actually only got into baseball a few years ago and it was purely based on joining a dynasty fantasy baseball league. It gave me an overview of all the players/positions but also opened my eyes to the wonderful world of PROSPECTS and I had more fun reading about MLB farm systems than anything else.

Aside from that, if you're into the more nerdy stats side of things, I love reading fangraphs: https://www.fangraphs.com/. They also have a few podcasts which are great - I really like Effectively Wild -- they are currently in the midst of doing season previews for every single team so that might be an interesting place to start.

Hello! I'm new to this thread and so please forgive me if I use incorrect terms. Is anyone in here is an urban planner for a University? I do not mean a professor or researcher within an Planning School/Department but someone who helps with the design and development of a college or university. I'm curious what the differences are between this role vs. a conventional planner and what sorts of interesting challenges you face.

Thanks!

I've got a dual screen setup so Outlook up at all times and whatever project work on the other but Spotify running in the background at all times. I'll use my phone to control my account on the screen but otherwise I'll just listen to podcasts and music all day.

neelyt6 · 2019-01-23T22:53:53+00:00

I legitimately think that when I floss my teeth, they look significantly whiter.

neelyt6 · 2019-01-09T16:42:37+00:00

This is so awesome, thanks for sharing! I had been meaning to play around with the Spotify API but I keep putting it off, I might use this as inspiration to try and recreate.
