That's why I became a failed musician and writer addicted to drugs, bummed around a while, got clean and now I just work for myself doing something I can stand, while being absolutely mesmerized by how awful people are. 😒

I'd just be glad to finally return to monke

I feel like I definitely read that in middle/high school

I've been working at a rich ladies house the last few weeks.

If you used her money to feed an entire town for a month, she wouldn't even know.

I'm good at counting pennies

I'm not the most politically savvy but after having spun thru a few leftist thought circles, this has been my experience as well.

8000 a year? That would be a huge help. Like it would alleviate almost all of my burdens.

Scrip is kinda low key a thing again. My SO works for wawa and there is definitely some scrip vibe. They have a company store, a points reward system, they will put you through school if you take classes that benefit the Corp, and the only way to move up is to basically bootlick management at weird company festivals.

It all has this very dystopian vibe of "everything within the corporation eco system" and my SO is a very principled women who is shy and kind and she refuses to take a step to elevate herself within the Corp, but getting a union going is pretty hard where we're at, everyone is very much of the boot tasting, welfare queen bad variety.

Not having children is my retirement. I will probably work till I'm old and gray so I just tuck what I can away, buy things that hold value, and live my life.

Tbh...just lie. Base it firmly in reality though and get your story straight. Astroturf the entire reference with people you know, who may or may not have been involved with the reality. Make it believable to the rest of the application. Chances are your references will be passed over entirely anyway while whoever is doing the bare minimum to get through their work day checks over your application.

This may or may not be good advice. 🀷

Just come to terms, probobly through traumatic events, that all life is is rejection. Then there is no rejection. There all done!

 

That was a really good episode. A ton happened, I think it was a whole chapter.

Gum gum hydra looked awesome. I'd imagine g5 would look similar, but more.

Who ever directed this, I'm a fan of, for sure. The source material is not particularly strong in some spots here(big mom), but it was still handled pretty well imo.

With battles winding down, and the amount of ground covered, this episode felt like classic one piece πŸ‘Œ

I absolutely love the dumb little slapstick clown horn music they use for gag parts. Cracks me up everytime.

OK so I am fairly tech illiterate, and would like some guidance.

I had been using ver. .33 up until today, very happily I might add, and I decided to try .35 out. I know there were some issue with the .18 ver of lemmy and compatibility so I just wanted to try.

I Uninstalled .33, installed .35 from github. I immediately got an error message about compatibility and ver .18.

OK whatever. Uninstalled. Went back and got .33 , but now the app just crashes. I much prefer and am used to jerboa over the web browser.

Any thoughts ?

Edit: lemmy is pretty unusable right now on web browser, it was working fine until I no longer have the app, the constant refresh is pretty bad, every second there is 100 new posts regardless of how I sort.

Anyone here? I can't see any posts. Feels like I'm calling in the dark, and that's kinda cool ngl. πŸ™ƒ

 

Guys, I actually got the feels from this trailer. I know we are all skeptical cause we love the series so much, but I'm here for it.

 

I'd like to think im not a stupid person, but sometimes I'm not too confident. Perhaps most of my "stupid moments" stem from this.

So I see people are starting move stuff over from reddit. But now my feed is clogged with r/nosleep mirrors, and due to the sorting bugs and lack of a hide read thread option, I think it's worth discussing best way to go about this. I'm not tech savvy, just thought I'd bring it up.

I'm all for the idea, but it feels spammy, especially when sorting by all>new is currently our best browsing experience.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: they said they're dumping them into a defederated instance first as a work around. Thanks to everyone doing their part!

Never thought it'd happen to me. It did. Been Clean a bit over a year. I got a couple crazy stories for sure. AMA

Edit: this is pretty personal, the answers kinda long, and I can't touch on everything, but I'll try my best. Thanks for reading.

OK so for the sake of content, here is my current guitar area of my living room. It's a hot mess. I kinda went on a bender with some psychoactive substances last week and was writing and playing alot, moving pedals around, getting tangled in cables lol.

My current signal chain: Prs custom 24 se into CMC Germanium Sunface fuzz clone > wampler mini ego compressor > eqd grand orbiter phaser > CMC effects King of Tone clone > strymon deco double tracker > dod rubberneck delay > strymon flint reverb > boss rc5 looper.

All into a fender hot rod deluxe that needs repairs, I mic it up with a sm57, and whatever condenser mic I feel like using, I've got a akg c3000 on there now, then they run to some decentish preamps(Isa one and wa12) then into the line in on my interface. I'm running reaper on a shitty home made PC that's like 12+yrs old with expired windows. Jammed it with ram and it runs great. It sounds pretty damn good. I blend the two signals together, or just use one, sometimes I'll use 1 mic and do a direct in and blend those. I like the results. I'll refine my process once I get down to really recording. I've been in writing mode for a while.

I bought that carpet recently and I kinda dig it. My first carpet purchase, I must be a real person now.

If you have any questions or recommendations or anything at all please feel free, thanks for reading.

Perhaps I'll make another post with some other stuff later. But for now, if you care what it sounds like. I recorded this a while ago in spring, I have a more done version now but this is just guitar bass and drum for this post. No harmony or vocals or anything. Real rough. I have this and about 6 other things I'm working on right now. I'm trying to get an album done before I am too old and broken to hold a guitar. (:

I don't do this for money
