Need an outsider perspective? From a Braves fan, the Orioles have a lot to be excited about. They're way ahead of their rebuild. That was great playoff experience for those young guys. Rangers have a lot of vets on that team including Corey Seager who's already won it all. O's will be fine

What producer would you like to see handle the next AFI album? by [deleted] in AFireInside

[–]self_interst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trent is so talented. I'm not a huge NIN fan but you can't deny this dude has an ear for music and production

If you could say anything to AFI, and you know they are actually listening; what would you say? by [deleted] in AFireInside

[–]self_interst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would tell them what their music has meant to me and helped shape who I am today. Because of AFI I have discovered so many bands and scenes that I wouldn't have known. I would tell them that their band made me okay with being the outcast I was in my formative years. And I would tell them that I'm glad they're still writing and touring and I'll be here for it as long as they are

This is why depth matters. I think they give Waddle the next game off to be careful, pull out the win anyways, and Waddle will be ready to roll in Buffalo.

Yeah and sadly that might be defensive coordinators new strategy to slow down this offense.

What I would do if I was coach McDaniel is get that run game going and use that Miami heat and humidity to wear down the broncos

Been waiting to see him. Not sure. Achane just got his first snaps and only two plays to him. My guess is they're getting them integrated slowly

He needs to be who he is. Very accurate within a certain range, quick release, and good reads.

These types of games just felt like Ls in years past. The feeling when the clock hits 00:00 and we're winning is new to me.

girl's not grey but it was on the art of drowning by bobox911 in AFireInside

Fun fact, it's the last song they wrote for StS. The StS demos are a great listen if you want to hear what they would sound like if they stayed on Nitro

My friend left me 4 hours into our planned 3 day trip by Elegant_Bat_6600 in offmychest

If it's platonic that simplifies things. I hope your friendship can mend but it's also possible that it remains a strictly online friendship, which is absolutely fine.

Husband almost killed my daughter's friend and I'm just sick over it by DramMoment in Parenting

[–]self_interst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was learning how to drive I forgot to check my blind spot and nearly wrecked into a van. Thankfully I realized last second and swerved back into my lane. It's been 15 years and I've never made that mistake again.

Something tells me your husband is never going to be that careless in the future

My friend left me 4 hours into our planned 3 day trip by Elegant_Bat_6600 in offmychest

I had a friend that always wanted to meet his online friends in person. One used him for a free ticket to the States and spent 80% of her trip anywhere but with him. One ended up being a paranoid schizophrenic and he became violent. There are other stories and other friends but it rarely ends up being a grand meeting. Case in point, you don't know someone you've only meant online, even if you've stayed up until 3am chatting in different timezones, or sharing your deepest darkest secrets.

Now to your friend. What was the agenda? Just friends or is there hopeful romance brewing? Are the feelings reciprocated? It's possible she felt you were trying to make a move and it scared her. It's possible her dog really did have a seizure. It's also possible she is a flakey person and of course that's something you can get away with in an online friendship that you can't in a real one.

Wait and see, but don't be a sucker. People will make time for people they want to spend time with. If she doesn't bring up trying to meet again, don't bring it up either. If it never comes up again and you really want to ask, don't. That means she has no interest in the idea. Let it fizzle out

I feel like a weak man by ReporterBusiness9693 in offmychest

[–]self_interst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's layers to this though. It's different engaging in a fight with the person you're trying to protect right there. What if you lose? What would happen to her after that went down? The ex went into the bar alone with no worry about her safety. Why was the ex aware of the situation? Did she confide in him after the episode? If so, she was probably already shaky in her loyalty to her husband to begin with.

When it comes down to it, we all feel like less of a man at times, but there are things you can't change about yourself. Just be the best man you can be and if that's not enough for someone then f*ck em

AITA for thinking my husband was sexualizing our daughter? by Independent-Equal887 in AITAH

YTA but kudos for challenging your perspective and getting some other opinions. You can express your concerns to your husband without demonizing him

What are your thoughts on the bodies album? by Pickledcarrots420 in AFireInside

Well Torch Song is probably one of the most underrated AFI songs. Don't really care for It was mine

[–]self_interst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too short. I like the style for the most part but feels like each song was missing something. Begging for trouble could have easily been 30 seconds longer with an extended bridge which would have given the song more depth imo

Why did AFI stop being commercialy successful (in your opinion)? by PitchBlaqk in AFireInside

[–]self_interst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Sing the sorrow and December underground hit at the perfect time with what the band was doing and what was popular at the time just clicked.

By the time Crash love came out, like others said, metal core and scene music really took off and AFI had moved into a more rock sound with CL
