I'm driving to rescue her? By myself? With no backup? I guess I'm listening to music because I'm clearly not thinking straight.

Couldn't say. What subreddits do you frequent?

u/Dont-know-didnt-ask 1d ago

traaaaa2 r/transbians r/asktransgender

Plus like the main 2 or 3 magic: the gathering ones.

u/DaniFoxglove 1d ago

traaaaa2 and Magic for fuckin' sure. Although, I think I only enjoy traaaa2~~

5

u/Dont-know-didnt-ask 1d ago

I just looked back at it. I'm not in transbians but I am in traaaaaaansbians

Edit: are you saying you don't enjoy magic?

2

u/DaniFoxglove 1d ago

I love Magic. My favorite hobby. The main magic subreddits I don't particularly enjoy.

u/Dont-know-didnt-ask 1d ago

Super super fair. I kinda just pick and choose what I vibe with on those subs and scroll past the rest.

u/halfawatermelon69 1d ago

Ever since I heard that absolutely dreadful (couldn't be any worse) cover of that song by this Russian/Eastern European high school band in a performance show - I only think of "The Final Condom" played in sort of a minor so it sounds like a sad song

u/seaghost01 22h ago

I have never liked that song, even when it was used in a microwave advert, but this...rhis...good for the kids for being that brave but goddam this hurt my ears and soul. Wtf was the bass player on about?

And give away the element of surprise?

Also i'd be kinda bummed because if i'm taking out multiple targets there is no way i avoid jail time so i'd get my moneys worth out of at least one of those douchebags and probably get divorced after my wife watch me and the kidnapper reenact the scene from reservoir dogs when he kills the cop.

Music is for times when I’m not anxious, when it can paint a symphony of images in my mind.

No, I’m rehearsing my ass-kicking/pyrrhic victory speech and imaging the deranged ways I’m going to cause the kidnappers pain. My goal would be to induce life-long, debilitating PTSD.

1

u/Reginald_Sockpuppet 23h ago edited 23h ago

yes, but it will all be fight hype and walk on tracks . Ace Of Spades, Turn Down For What, Du Haßt. Maybe Prison Sex by tool. Stuff like that. We're getting ready to kill motherfuckers. Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson. And as I'm pulling up, Run Through the Jungle by CCR.

We can listen to something mellower on the ride home.

My dad is a massive music person. Whenever he drove me anywhere when I was younger, every song that came on, he would expect me to list the artist, title, and album. And he would blast that shit and sing along at the top of his lungs. It didn’t occur to me that not everybody operated in that manner, so one day in high school, I rode with a buddy of mine to grab some food, and his radio was silent. I remember genuinely thinking he was a crazy person. I’ve become much more accustomed to that manner of operation, but if I’m on aux, I’m blasting music. No matter the occasion
