Destroit

Where abouts do you live? I may be able to get you. If you don't want to list your cross streets here, PM me with them and I can assure you that I'm not an axe-murderer.

Wellll...I just found out that I'm the designated barfer tonight. I hope as designated drinker that you are still able to dodge and move! (I'm actually only bringing enough money to NOT get blitzed on. Trying this responsible adult thing here...)

Didn't know anything like that existed, thanks for letting me know . I don't know anyone doing it currently atm, but it's good to keep in mind for the future.

Imo it's not that the stuff is BAD for you that I have qualms about, it's people getting things that are not absolutely 100% necessary on other people's dollar without their permission. People have such a skewed view nowadays over what is actually a NEED and a WANT. Pop is always a want. If someone wants to spend their actual tangible cash on it that they made themselves, that's fine. But spending other people's cash is not, that's where I draw the line. My two cents. Like people that think they need to reward their kids with either food or toys, imo, just kind of sets them up to think that food (like treat food, not real food) and toys are a NEED and then their value system gets skewed. Kids should always be rewarded with honor, love, praise, and encouragement...not some toy. But even if you do not agree with my philosophy on parenting (that is not set in stone, just my opinion) still..."wants" should not be expected to be supplied by taking money out of the wallets of strangers, only needs. I find it ironic that so many people bitch about others buying cigarettes with welfare money and yet have no problem with people buying candy or pop with Bridge Card money. Is it only because maybe it caters to their cause? Some people are sometimes in the psychology (many times without even realizing they're doing it) that if it is not something that agrees with their value system, wants, or desires then it is unnecessary or worthless for other people to pursue. That is why dolphins...are so totally more advance than humans . We have such ODD hangups in our psychology for a species that has come so far.

Sooooo...who's ready for the Chernobyl Accident...?

I was referring to the physical body of the person who consumes it. If I cross the road I may get hit by a car, by a sober person, so with your logic roads are harmful. A person who drinks and drives KNOWS BEFORE they get into their vehicle that what they are doing is highly dangerous to themselves and the general public. It is not the alcohol to blame, it is the solely the driver. A SUBSTANCE IS NEVER EVER EVER EVER AT FAULT...THE USER ALWAYS IS!! The second people own up to this and stop blaming inanimate objects for their own behavior, the second we can all start to move forward instead of back. Honestly, imo, the drunk-driver comparison was a stretch at best. Everything in this world can be indirectly harmful to you. You pick up a knife, you cut food with it...bam. Lop your finger off. There needs to be a line drawn somewhere, anyone can stretch anything in this world to fit the "dangerous" criteria, it's up to logic to know where to draw the line. And under the laws/regulations sector...so if a homeless man comes up to me begging for money and I ask him if it is for food and he says "no I need some fucking heroin" I'm still supposed to give it to him? Does not compute, but by your logic it should be none of my business what he spends the money I so graciously donate to him on. If you are a succubus spanging off the government then yes, they should own you 100%. If you want to be 900 pounds I couldn't give two shits, just not on my dime. If you want to hurt your own life, that should be your right, but the second you start scraping my pockets for money I spent hard hours of my life earning that I will never be able to earn back is where it needs to end. Why should you be able to reach into MY pockets and STEAL my money for your own selfish greed? And if you condone this behavior, are you telling me that larceny, breaking and entering, petty theft, embezzlement and insurance fraud and all forms of stealing should be legal? The government should use tax money for the betterment of the general population of the country, not the hinderance of the people. For instance, I don't have children myself and hopefully never will but I have no qualms about paying into the public school system. Why is this? Because America is a better place if people are educated, the economy thrives better, and it puts us above other countries in this respect. Stealing my money to give people their heroin, make people obese, enable people to be lazy and make excuses, or perpetuate the mindset of women who have children for the SOLE reason of getting money from the state should be banned and outlawed.

Boshy always said not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Am I mad that people are wasting my tax dollars adding it to their obese waistlines? You betcha. Furthermore, pop on Bridge Cards is a VERY DEVASTATING thing in Michigan to alcoholics and drug addicts. I can't tell you how many people I know personally will take their card, buy nothing but cases of pop, drain all the pop out and then take back the cans to buy beer/drugs/liquor. I hope it passes here, honestly. Personally if I had my way I'd make it so Bridge Cards could only purchase healthy food and things that aren't prepared, because when you're stealing money from other people's pockets then you shouldn't be allowed to use it on bullshit with no nutritional value just so you can shove it in your mouth and burden us more with your medical bills from being fat. I'm sick of living in a country where it's okay to be obese and people are starting to use dangerous terms such as "BBW" or "extra curvy". Something that is as unhealthy as being obese/overweight should be FOUGHT, not CATERED to :. I'm even for legalizing all drugs but if it were to happen I believe that you should have to sign a waiver with hard drugs decreasing your rights as a citizen. You should not be able to receive any form of government help if you choose to use (only because most hard drugs have extreme physical addition rates). I think the same thing should be with being fat. Or smoking cigarettes. Alcohol is different unless you're a straight up alcholic, using alcohol occasionally is not severely detrimental to your health (let's face it, almost EVERYTHING is bad for you if not used in MODERATION). But this last paragraph I suppose is another story altogether. Any chronic abuser of dangerous substances (the only thing I could think of that would not fit the "dangerous" category is marijuana, but food, cigarettes, alcohol, hard drugs, etc) should not receive government help and our tax dollars. You make your bed and you lie in it.

And Lady Gaga, as does Void6 most likely, but I digress... Oh yeah..well...WELL...I thought the last time I checked you listen to...uhmmm..ermmm.... Fuck...cool shit. *ducks in shame* No I honestly have no problem with the occasional CombiChrist. Fuck I couldn't give a fuck if they laid in some pop here and there if it fit the theme. It was just, seemingly, for awhile there CC's music was taking an overall bland downward turn where it was nothing but really non-descript trancey-techno crap mixed in with the same obligatory songs that have been lathered, rinsed and repeated for how many years now? I have checked out the RIP setlist and was impressed, so as I said, Chernobyl will probably be lifting the CC Embargo anytime now. I also like the collective and the work that is put forth in the name of the scene and for the arts, not just the money. Even the few times I was able to make it last year in the winter/spring, I noticed the music had improved from the few years before. Just...was consistently broke and getting financially raped by tenants with no steady work and false promises. All that is fixed now and everyone is actually pulling their weight around my residence, so odds are you will start to see me more. I even complained to Pest that I feel so old and frumpy because I'm out of the loop so bad and that should not happen to anyone who is only 25!

AWWWW...super kawaii, especially the second one ^_^ Here's another cute one from MANFAST:

I am so starved for dancing around (i.e. flailing, depending on BAC) to loud shit I love with people I like. Really considering lifting the CC Embargo... What's CC's offer? Will it disappoint like it did last year? What's this R.I.P. stuff all about and why do they actually have DJs I enjoy? Do they just call in awesome DJs and force them to play CC's prior crappy stuff? Is it a trap? You're all trying to find a way to lure me to CC and kidnap me...I'm on to you .

Correct! *angry fist shake*

Out of a fear and awe of the possible effects of human error. Oh and I have a blight fetish, WTF right? Nuclear physics is also pretty sexy. It's the trifecta for me I guess. I also used it originally as a measure of how educated someone was. I feel as our citizens are failing in their motivation to attain knowledge any further than what's on Family Guy this Sunday, so if I say "Chernobyl" and you say something like "Oh, that's a pretty name, sounds foreign" or "wow, are you from someplace like Russia or Poland?" I subconsciously write you off in my head as a moron.

Awww, sad. Oh well, have fun.

Lol, I should have known that Timata stole this from the internets. We have a Passive Aggressive Whiteboard at our house (I strongly recommend one if your house does not currently have one) and he did this sometime like two weeks ago. So that said...just lost the game

Definitely in the top five of the site

What kind of cookies would we be talking here and would you be making an appearance at my party? You already know where my house is after all.

I super approve Detroit needs a huge revival, and with most of our DJs working together to try to make the scene more legit, hopefully it will help. I personally do stray away from DJs that don't, I guess for lack of a better way to say it, fully even understand what it is they are playing, mislabel genres, or use generic terms such as just goth or industrial. Being specific aids to eliminate disappointment among patrons who, say, were mislead into thinking a night is going to be goth because some asshat simply labeled it "goth", throwing whatever generic out there, and then show up to find out everything is all EBM oontz oontz.

I kinda figured many DJs wouldn't attend due to CC, but I had to have the party on a weekend. That's why I put down 7pm, that's late enough to start a gathering but early enough for people who are going to bail to pop in for a few hours. Especially because, as it says, centralized location like 10-15 minutes from CC, all freeways.

Makes me a sad panda

We are finally having our first party and what better night to party it up in the south side of Warren than Devil's Night. We'll probably have a nice view of Detroit burning from my front porch! Who: All of you guys, plus more of our crazy friends, roommates, and probably our badass neighbors. What: A costume party and a celebration of the only night darker and more deviant than Halloween itself. A Detroit tradition celebrated in a friendly way at a safe location NOT in Detroit (but close enough). When: October 30th, Devil's Night, I mean duh, it's in the title (7pm is a good time for people to start showing) Why: Because it's about damn time we have a party! How: PM me for the address and to informally RSVP. An RSVP is not ABSOLUTELY necessary or cemented in stone, it's just to give me a generalized number of how many to expect. I just ask that any non-DGN guests be approved by me ahead of time if I do not know them. What cool shit we have to offer: ~ Legitimately haunted house, last two homeowners died here suddenly and tragically, which will most likely be my story eventually . ~ Fire in the backyard ~ Food and possibly alcohol (I still suggest BYOB, but we may get some liquor) ~ Music, board games, and chilling upstairs in the living room ~ Movies in the basement in the sitting area ~ More video gameage than you can shake a stick at (srsly...what like, five consoles? Two 360s LANned together with multiple copies of Modern Warfare 2, World at War, Transformers, etc) ~ Free Wi-Fi ~ Pancakes in the morning if you are a trooper and stay the night ~ Zany shit. I mean, a house that myself, Pestilence, Timata and a metal head share, trust me, amazing times . ~ A very central location close to everything, namely 10-15 minutes from CC for when you guys ditch me and decide the club that you go to every weekend is cooler than a party with people you like and awesome music (with is what is most likely a better sound system ) If you DO crash here, it is first come first serve and you should bring something to sleep on. It will be on the floor and you may be situated in the vicinity of others, so if that gives you the willies, not recommended. If you know that you want to crash out here ahead of time that can be arranged prior to the party. Leave messages here or PM me! As our first house party we're hoping to get a pretty good turnout! Hope to see as many of you there as can make it WARNING: We have four cats and our asshole dog, Frank. The cats will not be present for the party and I will be cleaning the house thoroughly the night before, but I felt the need to say it in case anyone has severe cat allergies.

Awww. It's better to have to cancel something than to get in over your head though, probably a smart move if you aren't sure you can handle it.

Been there, done that. Not so bad, has a nice crunch.

Tired. Need coffee so I can have more than three beers and not fall asleep.

Well then, get on it! I would say we could go around together because I need supplies for my costume, but who I am going as is at level Top-Secretcon-Five atm, only Pestilence knows. Timata has been bugging the shit out of me; he is relentlessly in pursuit. I even felt bad for him yesterday and, knowing he wouldn't figure it out, gave a shot at 20 Questions to piece it all together. Win - Chernobyl, Loss - Timata. If Tim didn't get it, most likely nobody will because he knows us better than most people we know.
