  • “Bon Jovi for Goth Dads” is the other one I enjoy. I love Ghost, Tobias writes exactly the music he wants. Not trying to be metal, he was heavily influenced by og heavy metal (Sabbath) and the theatrics of the glam/hair metal era (Kiss). Combine the two and ya, that’s just Ghost.

    It’s very intentionally campy and fun, like year round Halloween.



  • Exactly. The whole exchange seems like it caught him on the back foot and wasn’t something he was prepped for so he felt he had to explain the entire situation and got lost in his story and never put a bow on it. When the moderator pressed him after he had finished he followed up with basically “I misspoke, I apologize, shit happens”.

    Meanwhile Vance refused to give a solid answer on who won in 2020, but people say he took the debate.





  • Boston has a whole road that is the physical manifestation of Chaos.

    Storrow Drive. Runs along the Charles and is basically the northern border of the city. It has many underpasses, most of which are low enough to munch moving trucks. Every year around late Aug early Sept when college kids are moving in a few trucks get Storrow’d. It’s refered to as The Storrowing. It’s a fun time to need to get around the city.

    Honestly Storrow is one of the scariest roads in New England, and I used to drive every day to and from work almost the entire length of Memorial which is on the opposite bank of the Charles which is a NARROW four lane road (2*2), with a speed limit that is both probably too high and completely ignored, on top of being almost eternally congested. How I didn’t see a horrible wreck every day confuses me still.

    tl;Dr: Don’t drive in Boston unless your ready for some fun (I love the chaos)








  • I had major gallstone attacks a couple times a week for like 6-8 months before I finally drove myself to the ER at 2am after being woken by one. Was in surgery 3hrs later.

    Was utterly excruciating pain in your abdomen, and it just grows and grows and grows, and lasts from 20minutes to over an hour. Nothing ever touched the pain either, and my PCP misdiagnosed it as extreme acid reflux and had me on Prilosec for months.

    0/10, do not recommend. Plus not having a gallbladder kinda sucks ass.

    I legit have this floor, my rent is actually $3050 in the back fucking woods of Massachusetts. It was literally the cheapest 3 bedroom we could find (partners kids). New construction, corporate landlord. Literally no idea who owns the property, or to whom my rent goes.

    When I moved out of my last apartment a couple years ago(which was the exact same size), gorgeous 100yr old mill housing. Has solid wood doors, real tiled bathroom, recently (within the last 10yrs) redone electrical and HVAC. Plus the landlord and his wife were legitimately rad people and lived in the building next door and we smoked weed together, had cookouts and fires. Rent was $1650.

    And the BEST part, they didn’t even install the flooring correctly. It’s less than 2yr old building, screws are backing out and making bumps. On top of the tiles that are peeling/lifting.

    Like, my partner and I have great jobs and it’s only manageable. I have absolutely zero clue how anyone doing slightly worse is getting by.
