Why do I feel like you wake up every day like a kid on Christmas morning hoping for the ceasefire to fall apart? You seriously just trivialized genocide, you… special person you.

That reminds me of a funny interview moment where some music journalist in the 2000’s asked Thom York, “So how to you respond to newer bands like Muse who are capitalizing on your sound?” And Thom goes, “Good luck with Kid A.”

Doubt he thinks very highly of you either

People who think like you are why Harris lost in one of the worst landslides in recent history. Thanks for that, neoliberal

This is a pretty typical Western way of completely misinterpreting karma. It’s supposed to describe how negative energy travels through the world, and white people just think it means “bad thing always happen to bad person”.

Daddy’s Dogs. He’s in Printer’s Alley standing a little ways down from their location there. You can actually see the sign behind the red and white sign for Fleet Street.

It was covered in an episode of Radiolab and they interviewed the guy who experienced all of this. I’m not invested enough to find a source but it’s definitely not an urban legend.

Are you seriously trying to predict the actions of the US federal government using an argument based on logic and common sense?

[–] PolydoreSmith 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes and the article was written by The Intercept, also a US-based media company. I feel it’s important to interpret a text in the context of the vocabulary used by the author. And The Intercept fully ascribes to the definition of “liberal” that I’m using.

You’re just playing a game with semantics for… some reason. I’m not going to psychoanalyze here with regards to you, but the intention of the author is obvious to anyone with a modicum of political awareness.

Funny because I would say that your definition of the word ends at the US border. You actually hit the nail on the head with your comment about most of the people on this site, but the problem is not being “too online”. Lemmy is a far more multicultural space than you’re probably used to, and you seem to be struggling with that.

 
 

This is my 2008 PRS Hollowbody II singlecut and my 2006 PRS McCarty hollowbody doublecut. Both were purchased second-hand within the past six years.

The singlecut was originally offered through the PRS Artist Package and I’ve only ever found one other guitar like it on the internet. Last year I finally pulled all the piezo electronics and had it completely rewired as a regular passive guitar. Aside from that, it’s all stock.

The doublecut was a prototype produced before the hollowbody was officially offered as part of the McCarty line, or so I was told.

Both of these guitars are remarkably similar. Playability is absolutely off the charts, and I enjoyed the singlecut so much that it was pretty much-love-at-first-sight when I found the doublecut a few years later. They are the lightest damn guitars I have ever played; both weigh in at about 5lbs. The weight makes all the difference in the world during long-ass bar gigs and weddings. Tonally, they’re way more percussive than a Les Paul, but incredibly versatile nonetheless. The way the top is braced to the back allows you to crank the gain on your amp/PA without having to worry about the feedback issues typically associated with hollowbody electrics.

Hands-down, these are two of my most prized possessions. I never post pics of my instruments to normal social media because I worry about theft, so I decided to do this little write-up to help grow this new (to me) community.

 

Picked this one up a couple weeks ago. I’ve been playing for close to 20 years, and this is the first Les Paul I’ve ever really fallen in love with. The big 50’s neck profile is extremely comfortable, and holy crap do I love these Mini Humbuckers! Even though everyone quotes Spinal Tap when I say it, the sustain is exceptional; it gives the tone a very “vocal” quality.
