  1. Buddy in Lincoln is clear, sounds like he spent a lot of the evening in a parking garage basement
  2. more than that but only barely, so really not the end of the world. this is probably my own stupidity as well. she's starting a new full time job where they actually pay her and she's a little grumbly about making sure that we get that set up correctly for the filing jointly tax rate. tone, etc
  3. i think the biggest leap in my playing came when i bought a bunch of acoustics. of course i was also drunk and massively depressed, doing almost nothing but sitting on my couch and holding on to my pretty toys uh yeah for sure. strat volume knob is right where I want to anchor my hand and it's easy for me to hit the switch. don't even get me fucking started on the jaguar (not mine, back in the band days when I switched off with the other guitarist/bassist). I used painters tape on the stupid switches to keep them in place. no problem with teles. The hand position thing with the strat became a problem for me after I spent a long time playing mostly acoustics. Knocking switches around I find easy to do, but it's also probably influenced by leaning into performatively large right hand movements as stage presence
  4. there's a general disagreement about what it means to support something - some people think that if you say that you don't like something, you can do all the behaviors that feed and power that thing without supporting it. that's false and is surprisingly difficult for some of you to understand.
  5. anyone else's wife have their paycheck set up for $0 withheld for income tax?
  6. you actually don't need to have any opinion at all about the gaza war to understand if this (the topic of this thread that we're talking about here) is ok
  7. Someone espousing a stupid opinion about wanting an event shut down is a different thing than actual police in riot gear teakettling a peaceful protest. Even if the people with the dumbass opinion are the ones being teakettled, which may or may not be the case here. not hard
  8. Is “occupy” a trigger word that creates the safe space requirement
  9. you don't have to give a shit about the bill of rights but at least be honest about it
  10. honestly i think that this across the board characterization of what people are protesting about is insanely anti-semitic
  11. That looks great. I have my office in the same kind of green, it’s a nice energy. I would laugh at my wife if she suggested that I put up that wall accent thing, so good on you for being a handy dad. took this picture at the park last week. Sometimes a picture just captures your kid being a kid in a way that triggers your love feelings. also I found a new hobby in dressing the baby and sending the wife outfit pictures. She did not think that this made him look like a “rizzly bear”.
  12. it for sure didn't have to be - we should be better than this, as Texas
  13. Policies/rules/etc aside, this is one of the things that college campuses are for. Not harassment, not intimidation, but protests of this nature, yes 100% for sure.
  14. people just exploding in their cybertrucks after dinesh spent all night with elon over his shoulder improving his code
  15. If you love this stuff you hate America. Freedom out front should have told you.
  16. it also takes it a step further from... you can purchase a Tesla and own the car, and it has capabilities that you cannot access without paying to have them unlocked (like range). I know that that was a story a few years back and I assume it's the case now. You can own the car without being able to use the whole car because features are software locked. But this idea is that you can own the car but Tesla could just reach in and take your spare cycles to what, create the worlds most powerful racist AI using a mobile cloud of other people's vehicles? FSD crashed your Tesla into a building because Grok was thinking really hard about a new slur?
