  1. ROFL! Literally no one but you gives a shit about your opinions on the life decisions of others that you know only through an intardnet message board. Those are some hard words you need to (but undoubtedly won't) hear.
  2. Hey, stay or leave, no judgment from me on anyone's choices. I had the ability to start working full time remote in early 2016 and I took it as an opportunity to move to greener pastures with less negatives to my family. We weren't viewing it as a "political decision" at the time, we just wanted our kids to have the opportunity for a decent public education. There would be no professional or economic disruption, so that did not have to weigh into my calculus. If anyone isn't in a position to do that, they shouldn't leave or at least not without careful planning to ensure a smooth economic transition to a new location. Further, there's a problem that is becoming more and more apparent with just abandoning places or institutions. When you leave, the vacuum gets filled by what you abhor, and that could very well have effects on where you have fled to. Abandon the Republican party because you can't stomach it any more, it gets taken over by what repulsed you, wins national elections and starts shaping national policy. We left Texas for Colorado, but what happens if Colorado law and federal law come into conflict? What happens if the federal government winds up enforcing federal law within Colorado that is illegal according to Colorado state law? There are no guarantees life here outside of Texas in a blue state remains a good one for me or my family. At some point, you have to stand and fight for the life and world you want to live and provide for your kids. I don't mean with arms. I mean that good, morale people need to reclaim politics and the political parties. They need to reclaim the world they live in by becoming involved and not ceding leadership and power to the worst of us. And getting involved and working to make where you live a better place is something you can do without having to consider a move and impact to your personal economics.
  3. Hey, if corporations > humans and completely unregulated free market capitalism is the law of the land, then offing a CEO is just a mild correction within the unregulated free market.
  4. He's certainly no Ted Kaczynski as an author.
  5. Read his manifesto rag. He didn't just want to kill this dude and get away with it while no one knew who or why. He's wanting to spark a movement.
  6. So he's the Steve Sarkisian of assassins?
  7. Get in line behind White Power Bill.
  8. Yeah, with the exercise I outlined, accuracy is more important than speed. Start at 50bpm if necessary to be accurate. Then as that becomes comfortable, bump it up to 55 and so on. Eventually you are capable of keeping time fast. Its just a matter of reps. I actually find it harder to play slow than fast. Like, you can play a blurry line over a 130bpm and the brain can't really process that oh you are off time by 10%. 10% off at a tempo of 65 is fucking noticeable. Make sure to crank the gain so you can hear how shitty your timing is *ducks and runs for cover*
  9. Yeah, I mean, you can go the opposite way and be so perfectly aligned to a grid that it sounds inhuman, like it's all quantized. And some recordings really benefit from not having a click track to keep people locked on a grid. The looseness can be part of what makes the song. That said, I think most beginners would benefit from more practice on timing. Better to be tight and capable of looseness vs just being sloppy and incapable of tightness. I still practice alternate picking against a metronome (or just my foot tapping) playing 8th notes, triplets and 16th notes at various tempos. Finger style, too. One and, two and, three and... Trip-L-It, Trip-L-It, Trip-L-It... Wa-ter-mel-on, wa-ter-mel-on, wa-ter-mel-on... And practice placing emphasis at different syllables. "WAT er mel on", then "wat ER mel on", then "wat er MEL on" and "wat er mel ON". Muting the un-emphasized notes. It get's your playing tight.
  10. You think an intardnet meme with quotes from "Anonymous in Georgia" is legitimate and reflective of reality? I mean, it might be. It also might be bullshit propaganda meant to tweak your brain and keep you involved as a participant in the strife. The left isn't above that, as evidenced by the dark Biden memes when he was really just a drooling octogenarian who should have been put in memory care a long time ago. Or all the Kamala hopium being pumped into the infosphere that obfuscated the real feelings of voters before the election. And there are other actors who don't care about the ideological battle in the US or who wins. They just want the battle, and they want it to be BIG. Everyone needs a higher bar for the 3rd hand+ information they allow to carry weight in their brains.
  11. Are you trying to make the naughty list?
  12. If our team takes their anger out on who deserves it, they will beat themselves again this week, lol. I think we win the first two pretty convincingly. Shit gets real in the semi-finals.
  13. I think you are right, 3rd round or lower. If he hasn’t ever survived a college season, he won’t survive an NFL season and this year has been a showcase for his numerous flaws. I personally would only take him as a late round lottery ticket. I think his ceiling is career backup where he’s just being asked to occasionally come in for a starter and play well for short stretches while relatively unscathed/healthy.
  14. I’ve let the emotions ebb, slept off the alcohol and am able to think more rationally about last nights performance. Annnnd it just makes me want to drink it all away again. The most maddening thing to me is the lack of execution, focus, discipline and poise in a championship game. Up and down the roster and the staff. Dropped balls, watching tipped balls be intercepted, being beat for loose balls, false starts to kill drives, lining up in the neutral zone or jumping offsides, the red zone play calling and execution, the passes that should have never been thrown, the missed free throw field goals, celebrating an int vs taking it to the house to seal the game. And it’s made worse by the fact that we are so fucking talented that we can do all that and still almost win. What a sad waste of opportunity. Here’s to it being a wake-up call for the staff and players to fix that shit, but fuck, I wouldn’t bet on any sort of playoff run from this team.
  15. I admire your ridiculously misplaced optimism.
  16. Yeah, Ewers played better than he has in some time, and had others played better it would have been good enough. Turnovers, missed field goals and drive killing/extending penalties is what beat us today. We are talented enough to beat a lot of teams being a bunch of undisciplined and unfocused dipshits. We aren’t talented enough to beat Jawja like that. And we won’t finish a bnn playoff run like that. Time to start tazing anyone who jumps offsides in practice.
  17. I have no idea what an AI generated waif in a tie fighter has to do with anything, but...
  18. 16 pages in and I can’t believe I’m going to be the first person to say it: Brian Thompson didn’t kill himself.
  19. Holy fuck, Grandpa. Time is all we have, and yet…
  20. CEO gets assassinated in NYC by Jake Gyllenhaal who escapes on a bike? Tell me again we aren't living in a simulation.
  21. Username checks the fuck out.
  22. This thread makes me want to learn to play the kazoo.
