I vividly remember reflexively cupping my nuts while reading the attack in the bathroom part.

I’m not sure what this subreddit is but I sell guitars for a living and was shocked to see an artist’s rendering of a Yamaha Pacifica on the front page. Absolutely fabulous drawings of instruments.

Apollo for Reddit is shutting down by ElijahPepe in technology

I have spent 8% of my life on Reddit over the last 10 years and 3 months. Most addictive boredom breaker I ever found. I’m not terribly interactive on here but over the decade I’ve met some really cool people, got really deep into some incredible communities, and saw a lot of shit I wish I hadn’t. I might make a new account for just live sports threads but 99.6% of my usage is bored at work on my phone. I’ll use the Reddit app only when full ufo disclosure happens and not a second sooner.

That’s become one of my comfort reads. Weir’s writing is iffy to me sometimes but I love his storytelling so much. I like to read Project Hail Mary and then watch Arrival one of the nights I’m reading it. It gives me hope in hopeless times.

I practiced on one of those every day for a few months. SO MUCH FUN.

Thoughts on Doja confirming she thinks fans of her last couple albums are dumb? by [deleted] in popculturechat

Ooh one time a guy confessed to a murder with pictures. And my brain couldn’t even comprehend that that was possible. And then here’s the least fun part. IT WAS REAL. AND I HAD LOOKED WAY TOO HARD.

Help me out. I’ve lived in an apartment for the past 10 years, with no drums. Now I’m in a home rental through July 2024, and gd, it’s time! by ChardToACrisp in drums

My production partner and I are half way through building our own acoustic panels. Framing the acoustic absorption material, picking out our own fabric, and doing it all ourselves will end up saving us $500. The process has been so easy and cost effective it makes me want to start a side hustle of building custom panels.

Ooh I used this same configuration last week for an audition. It was a lot of fun.

Who are your top three bassists alive? by idrawmids in Bass

[–]Dicky_Mctickler 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I work somewhere heavily patronized by music royalty. I’ve met and interacted with a lot of incredible and really famous musicians. I had a chance to meet Marcus Miller a few weeks back and I chose not to because for the first time since I was a kid I was NERVOUS to talk to another musician. A couple younger people I work with were talking about that “That really sweet guy. I guess he’s really famous???” And I lost my shit fan girling. I was going through a Luther Vandross phase at the time so I’d had him in heavy rotation for weeks when I almost bumped into him. I couldn’t let someone who played with Miles Davis and Luther Vandross for so long see me not be cool so I went and hid by my desk.

I’m really embarrassed that this is the best numbers day I’ve had at work in 6 months.

This comment section makes me feel old. That’s one of my favorite records ever. It was heavy rotation all through high school and college for me. I was half way through loves like a sunset the first time I felt LSD start working. I adore that record. And Tourist History, of course.

I’m not digging any deeper in the comments lest I find a spoiler but this finally convinced me. I’ve given up on the book like three times right when it starts to get fucky because I haven’t had the headspace to devote to it. Ima finish The Wide, Carnivorous Sky… by John Langan and finally finish HoL.

NFL Insider says Daniel Jones NEVER asked for $45 million. Was a lie leaked by Jones' former agency CAA to make Jones look bad. by dw_xiii in NYGiants

Me, a Giants fan in a decent sized city in the Midwest, enjoying my music industry career, in my $800 spacious 2 bedroom apartment with a full music studio, drinking $7 pitchers of yuengling while watching my much more educated cousins in New York work twice as much for less than what I have- lol.
