  1. Where did I suggest we should be the worlds police force? That’s a whole other discussion.
  2. The reason is that there hasn't been enough collective pain outside of Ukraine. The pain is theoretical. Specifically, with the US, there hasn't been a large scale compelling reason sold to the people of the US as to why we should intervene substantially in this war. That will not happen in the next three years, given the current admin. That's just a fact. And it may be that our people as a whole are too ignorant or plain stupid to get it. But this isn't a problem unique to our times. Recall that "America First" was a pre-WWII thing. People were adamant that Hitler was Europe's problem. We didn't enter the war in Europe until we were attacked - by the Japanese. Entering the war in Europe was just a tag on to that because Japan was aligned with Germany and Italy. This was a recognition by FDR's admin that getting involved in a European war was a politically dicey proposition for him. The current admin and much of the American electorate stand in the same posture today. The lessons of 1933-45 have been mostly forgotten, except for followers of history. Very few who were alive then are left to tell the tale. While that is sad, it is understandable. What is crazy to me, is the position the US has gained as a world power since 1945 - that is the world order that was formed as a result of WWII that has allowed us to become the richest, most powerful nation on earth - is being tossed away because a bunch of know-nothings have decided that this whole post 1945 order that we built to benefit ourselves, but also benefits others - benefits those others too much for contemporary tastes. It's self inflicted empire destruction. tl;dr - It isn't happening because history repeats itself, and that includes Americans being insular and unconcerned about what takes place abroad.
  3. Firefly seems to me to be the epitome of "you get what you pay for." Disclaimer: I have not owned one. But I have seen this game played before...Teisco, Greco, Kay, Harmony, Hondo, etc. "Hey it looks just like the real thing!! Uh oh, plays like shit and hurts my fingers while it also fails to stay in tune." Even for $100, that ain't worth it.
  4. Good. Maybe this will be when that fucking guy gets it through his thick FIFA peace prize winning skull that Russia doesn't want to make a deal. I doubt it, but still.
  5. A little more on the crashed An-22. Last flying of its type. https://www.twz.com/air/theres-likely-no-way-back-for-russias-an-22-turboprop-heavy-transports-after-fatal-crash
  6. And just in case we needed some extra jangle. https://reverb.com/item/93146140-mint-gibson-custom-shop-1965-non-reverse-firebird-12-string-biscay-aqua-xii
  7. Not mini bucker, but nice reverse Firebird: https://reverb.com/item/93384594-gibson-firebird-iii-non-reverse-1965-gold-refin
  8. I'm coming back to this because she said exactly what the proper, grown up response to tfg's batshittery should be. The fact that the perfect response came from this source is utterly baffling to me. But I'll take it if it means the people who follow her see a crack in the facade of their great and wonderful orange Oz.
  9. *except themselves.
  10. This warms my heart.
  11. Make Russia Great Again is apparently US official policy now.
  12. Heard our good friend Alexander Vindman on NPR this morning. It's a short interview, and most people here would find it insightful: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/12/nx-s1-5640842/former-national-security-council-official-on-the-current-state-of-the-war-in-ukraine
  13. Either way, I'm here for it.
  14. Ohhh Mr. @jimmyjazz, I found something for you... https://reverb.com/item/93536684-gibson-non-reverse-firebird-2015-ferrari-red
  15. Thanks Tbone. News I can use.
  16. It's this right here. They live in a world that feeds them misinformation 24/7. I'm sure we've all seen it with friends and or family who - while seemingly normal in real life - will post or quote something that is objectively false on its face. Something that if anyone else in the world said it besides tfg, or posted it besides a right leaning source, they'd say, "Of course this is crazy!" But because it comes from tfg, or some source from his orbit, they will believe it. It's a weird cult full of people who go into a weird trancelike inability to discern reality from fiction when it comes to tfg. I can't wait for him to pass from the scene, and the bubble to pop.
  17. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I'll get fooled again.
  18. Oh I've seen many variations on the theme. They are definitely out there. I've just come to this august, refined and sophisticated group of pedal addicts for my fix because someone has usually had a taste of the sweet gear prior to me. It appears I may be plowing new ground amongst this particular group of gear junkies. Which is really saying a lot.
  19. That's pretty cool. Being as I'm playing bass, I'm usually looking up tabs, not chord charts. I'll have to see what I can come up with. I mean, realistically, the best thing would be to keep poking at the iPad with my finger. But that is not a gateway to more gear, so I'm dismissing that out of hand.
  20. Can we all just agree that if you mention your guitar, even if we've seen it before, you need to post an updated pic for reasons?
  21. Had someone said Kennedy Center Honors yet?
  22. Just remember, it always gets worse with tfg. Though I'm not sure why he'd want to replace her? She's doing exactly what Stephen Miller wants - terrorizing the populous - most especially people of color and those aligned against the admin.
  23. Fuck this piece of garbage.
