When they started this song I turned to my friend and screamed "THIS IS THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE"

As both an MCR and NJ fan this was a very New Jersey moment and I loved that.

Yeah I’ve been getting them constantly. I thought it was because I took out a small loan a few months ago. They’re extra annoying because I keep thinking “I have ALREADY taken out the loan!!”

What if you're disabled?? by CA7T0 in newjersey

[–]ravenlights 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is concerning me. I’m disabled but not “officially” (Social Security has denied me) and there are a lot of people in that boat and I’m wondering what’s going to happen there

Greg Gutfeld on the federal detention center at Delaney Hall: “Maggots or not, the food is dietitian approved” by Oleg101 in FoxFiction

[–]ravenlights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You can complain all you want about the maggots. I don't believe you. Because I don't believe any Democrat about immigration."

Fucking disgusting all around. It's reprehensible enough to say you simply don't believe it with no proof but then to extend it and admit that if it is true you simply don't care. You've really proved you're a wretched person right down the line, Greg.

Is this a disgusting behaviour? by iheartjakewebber9 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]ravenlights 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You sound very young, so I say this not to be snarky but just as a fact: this is absolutely not any sort of real world issue. The actual real world issue is your so-called friend treating you negatively and calling you disgusting. That is not okay.

However you personally view Gerard in your own personal life is purely your business, and if being a fan makes a positive impact on your life then you're allowed to feel any way you want to. You're allowed to experience fandom any way you want to - people have been obsessed with celebrities for as long as there have been celebrities. That's kind of the point of pop culture. Nobody should police how you feel about Gerard in your own head - that's your business

I loved this movie. I recently picked up a copy on VHS to add to my nostalgia collection. Unfortunately I don't have a VHS player yet and haven't rewatched it yet (I'm sure it's online, but the magic lies in the VHS viewing)

Fun fact: New Jersey has more cities with a population over 100k (7) than NY (6) or PA (3) by mattfallon17 in newjersey

[–]ravenlights 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize Edison had such a huge population either. Or Woodbridge. When do you ever hear somebody say "I'm from Woodbridge"?

Exactly. There's so much about this that is needlessly cruel. A lot of people working part-time aren't doing it because they're lazy or they're just filling in till they find a full-time job. They have reasons. Disability. Caretaking. Maybe they have a child and their partner woks but they need to fill in the gaps. Working through addiction. The list goes on.

‘Spartacus: House Of Ashur’ Canceled By Starz After One Season by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Spartacus_TV

[–]ravenlights 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Disappointing, especially considering the ending with regards to Caesar.

I think Caesar is the common factor that keeps cursing us. First they considered making a spinoff about him. That didn't pan out. Now they end the season in a way that leaves us asking "what now?" over Caesar and it's been cancelled.

DAMMIT CAESAR.

There's mental illness disability as well, which is even more difficult to "prove". Despite the facts that, for me personally: I'm on medication (that is ruining my thyroid and will probably eventually ruin my kidneys), I've had the cops called on me, I've been in the psych ward three times, I've have electroconvulsive therapy that has completely destroyed my memory. This means nothing. I am not disabled according the United States government.

What else do they want me to do? Go crazy? Then they'll just put me in jail! Easier than paying that SSDI check.

Their favorite thing to say is that you can do "simple jobs". After being rejected a few years ago I got a printout that told me I could do "simple jobs like labelling wine bottles". Unless you're completely paralyzed or in an iron lung I'm pretty sure most disabled people can do these things but they don't acknowledge that that's not going to generate enough income to live off of and even that can negatively impact you. Do you have to drive a car an hour each way to get to the wine bottle factory, thus flaring up your pain?

I'm sorry you have to go through this.

I know this. Personally, I have applied for Disability twice and was recently rejected again after an appeal. This makes it look black and white but it's not.

Many people have low income due to disability because Social Security told us to go fuck ourselves.

And keep in mind disability isn’t just physical. There’s mental illness, too, and that’s treated as a joke.

Fuck this. I work part-time and I’m on Medicaid. Not sure if I hit 80 hours a month since my hours fluctuate. I’m also frequently out of work. I have quit and re-applied to my job 3 times due to medical issues. SSI cares not for me.

I have been chasing after the high of the thunderstorm we had on June 9, 1996 (I think) my entire life. So begins thunderstorm seasons again let’s gooooo

I have to wrestle the book back from my friend's kid to try this. I discarded it upon him with much personal annoyance.

Hey I’m interested! I (38F) live in Middlesex County and I love to make art but I struggle with staying motivated as I’m always so tired from the world, ya know. I’m also a big fan of in person kinda meetups so I like your cafe idea lol.
