[Stop Being Greedy]

yeah, there's light hearted ripping and then there's just being a douche and some of it feels like it falls into the realm of being a douche.

The thing I realized after dropping the weight was how differently people treat you when you're fat. It's actually incredible. Once I got momentum going on the weight loss, it happened quickly so I noticed the change in a pretty stark manner. I can remember commenting to a friend something like, "I feel like I exist to people again."

When you're seriously overweight, many people will look at you with contempt or they just won't acknowledge you at all. That's not hyperbole either. I never got much shit for being fat during that brief period when I was really big, I just got ignored by people.

We’re they ever on TRL?

I don't think they had a TRL back then but they were fucking huge when Moving Pictures debuted (1981). that album has their most famous songs.

Lifeson is such a good sport haha

Yeah he is lol.

I never have noticed that but I haven't dropped enough weight TO notice it.

I DO notice it based on how I'm dressed though. If I am dressed my normal everyday T-shirt and basketball shorts with flip flops I get treated a certain way at the cornerstore. If I stop there on the way to work in my full fucking suit though I get treated VASTLY different and I am not a huge fan of it to be honest.

I’m surprised someone could say the war room is split down the middle. This place seems dominated by right wing posters.

Raab Himself, Rake, or Art Webb 1986 for me

Brandon shined through the cky video series. Rake yahn was #2 for me. Dude is a legits science prodessor!!!! Sounds like a certain poster on here who is my long time best sherfriend

Always best to cut ties with the toxicity. This friend group use to be significantly larger but we dwindled it down to six of us.

I had to cut ties with a large percentage of my immediate family for those reasons. That was difficult, but necessary.

I prefer the album version TBH. it's what I grew up to is all.

that whole album is great though in so many ways.

crazy to think Rush used to perform on MTV & was revered the same as Brittany Spears was too, back then right?

I recognised it, but didn't listen to it that much.
I think it's probably just my personal preference for live music which finds the album version a little too canned and clean.

It mostly is, yes.

Wasn't there a poll on the greatest president ever that was won by Trump here? I mean...

I totally get it. there are some bands that rely on a studio to sound 'good'. where for bands like Rush & Dream Theater, there are cases where the studio actually diminishes their value where they sound better live.

If anyone ever sees him doing something in Illinois or Wisconsin, tag me and I will absolutely show up there with the pillow and sharpie and do my best to get him to sign it

I’ll be sure to have someone recording, that way if nothing else I can share my ass kicking

I thought he was living in Chicago for a bit

A significant portion of that will be troll votes. On the other hand, most Trump supporters here only support him because they're trolls.

@Buff it is here!!!!!!!

I set it up chilling on the corner of our couch. So far no calls or texts from the wife. Either she’s gone blind or our baby has been an absolute handful today if she hasn’t noticed this thing there lol

Let me and @Gregolian know if you want us to tweet it at Rashad lol

It's crazy and awesome how Raab turned himself around. Last I read he's been constantly trying to get Bam help and is all about preaching clean living

Shit, even novac is clean and has tried to help.

Depends where you stand.
It swings back and forth, but the far right posters think everyone is left wing and vice versa.

 

[Gregolian]

The whole crew has gotten clean, DiCamillo walked away from it to raise and live with his family in private and even though they still do stuff together it's like Bam is the only one that can't fucking grow up....

Surprise he was the biggest shitlord from the OG run.

We got crazy family members in Hawaii we don't associate with anymore

Do you have a link to that thread?

You know I get those 2 mixed up sometimes. Both are sober, but your are right that it's crazier that Novak is sober and he might be the one that's always trying to help Bam, but Bam still treats him like he's the junkie.
