A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    What’s not to get about straight edge?
    This is really great, I love it. I assume you’ve been edge for awhile now or are just very committed to it.

    XXX. This really makes a good point by itself. You fucking PWNED jesse.

    I have no problem with people not doing drugs. What I hate is when other people think they should feel righteous about their abstaining from them, and when they get confrontational about it.

    BTW, i think jesse’s comment is slightly misplaced.

    Nice gif. Good peel!

    I suppose I can see the appeal of straightedge. I’ve considered it before; but I like my substances, and I don’t think I could ever commit myself to something for life.

    I understand the whole straightedge thing, although I don’t agree with it for myself…but seriously why “XXX”
    I grew up in a time where XXX was on porn store signs..not on people who abstain from drugs and whatnots

    I like it,
    i’m not straight edge myself,
    i’m actually the opposite i guess
    but i have friends that are hardcore edge
    and as much as people can hate on it,
    you need to have respect for people who can actually keep it up.
    as long as they’re not a douche to the other people who aren’t haha

    and as far as the post,
    i dig the piece man

    I never got why the XXX either. I know it has to do with the X’s they put on your hand if you can’t drink in clubs/bars and that eventually evolved into XXX somehow. But when I see the XXX i just think porn.

    If this is going to devolve into a debate about edge, let me just put my two cents in here. Travis isn’t straight-edge. The three X’s are a way for him to stay on the straight and narrow after spending years as an alcoholic. he;s had problems with his health and his past behaviour, so I gather this scarification is a way for him to stay completely clean and sober. It’s not straight-edge at all, but it’s an attempt at a cleaner lifestyle.

    The mod itself is fuckin’ dope and big ups to Anth for her first cutting on someone other than herself. Massive props. And props to Travis for enduring the pain of something important to him.

    I’ve never really been a fan of the whole straight-edge thing. I hate to generalise, but personally, it’s because every straight-edger I’ve known has been an absolute self-righteous dick. I can’t get into a single straight-edge discussion with someone without it turning into abusive name-calling in less than 5 minutes.
