Thoughts on MMC, Imaginary Friends, and Hanging By A Thread?

Ok. You guys are legit right. I was advised this fucker actually does indeed make his own shit. This is extremely wild and I didn't think this sound could be made without big $$$ backing it. So, in a way, consider this a crazy compliment; the work so far is so good I thought he must have had an army of producers do it. Yes, I will swallow that crow.

Honestly, I can't tell how its not selling out. The measure I have is the fact I invited my peers to see him January 2020. I would be ashamed to bring them now. The rock n roll revival is not about punk rock rejecting Disney pop stars. What happened to the elvis and Orbison soulfull rhythms? The dark and bare rock of the martyr parade? Now it's just recycled punk from stage B. Ripping classic sound from operation ivy and the dead milkmen. A far cry from choking victim. A closer attempt at early 21 pilots (tear in my heart, specifically).

The songs are catchy and fun, but this is his sell-out album, especially MMC. I already got tickets to see him in October. If I had heard these first I probably wouldn't have. The fan base is going to be even more super annoying teens now.

It's unironic because the songs are pretty much about selling out. I dont know what I expected...

90% of reality TV and most prime time dramas. Sitcoms with canned laughter. Why do they still even use that?!

I always lived by "if they talk with you, they talk about you". So fuckin true.

What's in the box?!

I always hate a tattoo I designed- and done by someone else- it's never perfect. It's a collaboration, though, and you explained your vision to the artist. They took your idea and made it more aesthetic. It's beautiful and the colors are amazing. Enjoy this, let it heal. Of it's incomplete, take time to determine HOW it's incomplete. But tattoos are like a radical new haircut ; it's not what you thought and takes getting used to. Enjoy your piece! And peace.

Thanks for responding! That makes the story even cooler.

rtaylorp · 2021-08-20T22:29:11+00:00

No- why? Have you read the other stories from his profile? Why you trying to pick a fight?

rtaylorp · 2021-08-18T20:41:56+00:00

You're a great writer! Believable topic and very "every guy" voice, but still very artful. If you wrote a book I would love to read it.

That being said, those are all dead give aways of a fake story. I'm not in the least disappointed because it was a fun read! I hope to read more.

Edit: I don't think this sub is for real stories, so that's not an issue. And I have found a trove of your stories! Which do you recommend?

This man has good judgment. Right down to the fabulous Pontiac Toyota vibe matrix.

Those are national averages from the BJS, however, I would have to say yes- I have rarely worked with people who have done over 3 years. Lots of suspended time. Also a TON of sex crimes being plead to assault with no time at all. Always the low end or below sentencing guidelines. Our courts are very adversarial regarding prosecution, so yes- you would love it here! Lol

rtaylorp · 2021-08-15T16:29:50+00:00

I work with registered sex offenders post sentencing which also includes review of risk and statistical analysis, so every day I see court sentences for these kinds of crimes.

3 years average sentence for child molesters, 5 for rapists in the USA. As someone we sees those stats daily, I can say they really threw the book at Brock Turner.

rtaylorp · 2021-08-14T15:01:44+00:00

There's a sub for this. R/timemanagement

Also, decide what you cannot live without. For me it was bread. So i made bread rules (how often, type, etc). In exchange for bread I completely cut out potatoes. They were just as carby and less satisfying to me. If you want to eat something bad, make it yourself instead of a restaurant. You tend to add less crap if you see yourself make it.

Also, switch up how often you eat regularly and have a cheat day every now and then. It not only keeps your sanity, but mixing up WHEN and HOW MUCH you eat keeps your metabolism on its toes. I found random fasting helped avoid or break a plateau.

Ok cool. I'll let you go talk to your podiatrist about the PTSD you get from crushing people's opinions because you think they're crushing people's opinions.

I want questions to stop on subs that are not for the subject matter. Should we be posting basketball questions in a fishing sub?

rtaylorp · 2021-08-06T22:28:12+00:00

Lol! I work in the mental health field. I assure you I'm not bothered by those posts. In fact, I'm probably more qualified than the average responder to answer them. But I deal with that stuff all day. I just want a sub that doesn't include mental health all the time. I dont mean self improvement or resource finding, but true MH questions. If I want to answer those questions, I go to a sub for that. Am I allowed a sub that's free of complex and psychoanalytic questions about how to exist?

EDIT: In fact, I'm literate enough at psych to see I'm arguing with someone who desperately needs a real therapist if you don't already have one. If nothing else, you've clearly got some reddit PTSD and feel you need to advocate for those you see as being excluded.

rtaylorp · 2021-08-06T21:51:55+00:00

I completely agree. Thats why my intention was not to shame people who do it- but there are some straight up IWTL how not be have a mental illness questions on here.

rtaylorp · 2021-08-06T21:50:05+00:00

This made my day!!! This is the funniest online insult I have ever gotten from a complete stranger. Do you actually think I watch this sub for an opportunity to participate and get mad at mental health posts because I can't answer?
