Mystery Jets deserved so much better back then. Definitely one of the most interesting British indie bands of that era (which I guess isn't saying much but still). And I'll always stand up for The Cribs and those early Babyshambles singles.
Glasvegas and The Pigeon Detectives are still awful.
I was listening to "Snowchild" by The Weeknd the other day and heard a line differently: "I'm in Tribeca like I'm Jay-Z". Now originally I thought it was just a generic reference to NYC and having money, BUT I'm thinking now it might be wordplay with "try Becca", as in "Becky with the good hair", as in Jay-Z's mistress (as told by Beyonce). If that's the case, that's a dope line.
But I'm probably giving him too much credit, because the song also has the line "Futuristic sex, give her Philip K dick", which is about one of the cringiest things I've heard in a bit.

I think he’s referring to the line in Jay Z’s song Empire State Of Mind “ Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca, Right next to DeNiro, but I'll be hood forever”
How have I survived this long and not been invited to a destination wedding? Damn it. I was so close.
A destination wedding is presumptuous. Please drag you carcass hundreds of miles to excessively celebrate our happiness. Because our wedding is so special it needs to be an epic imposition. Keanu Reeves & Winona Ryder

I can't remember the last time I was invited to a wedding period and not just asked to DJ

My wife and I did it for the opposite reasons. We didn’t really want our families there and the easiest way to not get them to come was to move the wedding across the country. We had few guests and it was wonderful.

I'm writing this mid-panic attack so this might not make sense.
My mom snapped at me twice this week and threatened to kill my dad. Even as a joke, it gets to me each time she does it. And the reasons she snapped at me were completely arbitrary. Like, one of the times I just wanted to know where some earplugs were and she snapped at me.
I don't feel safe here anymore. I don't know what to do. They're not even here this weekend and my panic attack is so bad I'm hallucinating that they are. It's THAT bad.
I don't have a ton of money, I'd be leaving the thing I use for work behind, and my checks still go to my parents' house. I don't have a full-time job and I'm getting let go from the part-time job I have. I might just text my boss asking what's up with the job I applied for. Getting it would literally save my life. Like, "possibly in the immediate future" save my life.
I have my bug out bag ready in case I actually run. I'm just not sure where I'm gonna go if I do.

Well I'm not in any immediate danger because my parents are out of town until tomorrow. I'm still alive, which is good I guess.
I hoped sleeping, doing my work and cleaning would help end the panic attack, but no. Still going. It is still definitely affecting my ability to work, so I should probably let my boss know. Even if I'm only in this position for another month and change.
I’m glad you are in no immediate danger. I’m no expert on panic attacks, maybe others would have better input to guide you through this. Hopefully your parents come back with a better attitude. Keep pushing your boss for that full time job so you can get out of there. Start shopping for a place of your own to move into when you feel up to it. Just writing out a plan of action can help.
I have zero expertise here. Druid's advice is sound.
What I will say is that when I am overwhelmed and trying to shut out outside noise, I turn to some well-worn programming. Stuff I've seen a lot like The West Wing or When Harry Met Sally or It's A Wonderful Life. I think that it's the familiarity that helps me. I'm not sure if there is something that can do that trick for you.

My wife and I have finally completed our move to Philadelphia. We had a nightmare of a move.
- Started Friday when we discovered the electric was turned off. Wife called, set up account, needed someone to come out to turn it on. - PECO sent someone Saturday morning at 9am without telling us. We were in Harrisburg, 2 hours away. I hurried with the stuff I was taking in the car, got to Philly at 1:30 (they said they'd send someone after 1)...crickets until this morning. - Moving company said they'd send 3 movers and estimated 6-8 hours for the move. - They sent 2. - They took 6 hours just emptying our house (and brought a bunch of stuff I didn't want them to bring, which I could have supervised, if I wasn't in Philadelphia trying to meet the electric guy that never came). - They told me they'd be in Philly by 7, they were stopping for lunch. I had offered to have pizza waiting (or something else), but they were too hungry. - Around 7 got a call that they got called to another job to help finish that one, then they would bring a 3rd person to Philly to help our move. Will be there around 9. - at 9:30 got a call that the truck broke down. The reason? They had rented from Ryder, which has an auto shut off after 11 hours. It took the mechanic an hour to realize this. - My moving permit from the city was from 10am-8pm. They missed the window where I had parking in front of the house reserved. - Still, my wife got there in time to save like 3 spots (with 2 cars) with me. right in front of the house. - They showed up at 11:30pm, I showed them the parking, we moved our cars. - As I'm circling the block looking for parking, at one point I notice I'm behind...our moving truck. - The space isn't big enough to parallel park the truck (it was) so they decided to park in the middle of the street. - We found out we live on a bus route, so there was a bus every 15 minutes thru the night. - They had to move the truck when a bus came. - The added worker barely did anything. I did more work than 2 of the guys combined because I wanted them to freaking finish. - We had boxes and furniture labeled with their location, but it was so late that we said to just get the shit in the house. - The bed was the exception; my wife and I could not put it back together ourselves, can't lift the headboard just the two of us. - They were told their hours were being cut off at 2am, so the two non-managers were super salty and the manager had to ease everyone's concerns. - They put the bed back together at 2:45am. - Finished at 3am. - I got charged 11.5 hours, which is about right (didn't get charged for the mechanic time or the time at the other job). - Some of our stuff was damaged (big scratch in the dining room table, the kitchen island marble top came off and I'll have to try to fix it, etc). - Had planned to come back to Harrisburg Saturday evening to finish cleaning, pack the last few things. - Didn't go until 6pm Sunday night, still no electric at that point. - Because of no electric, I'm in my Harrisburg office working today. Wife did just get electric on and Comcast internet set up. - Oh, we had the dog in the kennel to be out of the way during the craziness, and had to leave her an extra night with no electric and a disaster of a house.
I don't have anything pithy to add. It was a shitty experience.

Facebook not working for anyone else? I'm seeing the exact same posts as yesterday, Instagram says "can't refresh feed", and I haven't got anything on messenger in hours

I actually came to Inforoo because first I couldn't get a site for work to load, then I tried FB which wouldn't load, so I tried randomly tried Inforoo which worked (obviously). My work site and FB still not working...
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

FB is mad about the whistle blower. They have said fuck it and are shutting down.
Jesus Christ potentpotables that’s horrible. Have a drink. It will get better.
Edit-a day without FB. Whatever will I do? Can’t post my lunch pic.
