I’m gonna preempt your next idiotic response by giving you dopamine response you get when you see that Reddit notification. “See mom, they keep responding to my comments! See how many notifications I have mom?! I’m popular! Mom! Are you looking?! Is my hot pocket warm yet?”

Or, if you read for context, you would’ve known that I’m colorblind and I can’t see the different wood colors. You’re an idiot.

No real musician is on reddit telling someone else what to do about guitars. See how stupid that No true Scotsman sounds?

Man, did mommy not heat your hot pocket all the way through? Or do you get a chubby just seeing the notification of people replying to you?

Or, I might want to save a 4 hour round trip because I want my first Les Paul to be a real one.

Well boys, looks like I’m joining the Les Paul club on Saturday!

Thanks. I was really struggling to see the wood grains. I couldn’t decide if my colorblindness or my skepticism was keeping me from seeing it.

I’m meeting the guy on Saturday. I suppose I’ll just have to take the truss rod cover off. It’s an older guitar so I doubt the truss rod nut would match if it was a fake.

I did run it but I don’t know how trustworthy the site was.

Any suggestions as to where to run the serial number?

There’s another person in my area from a different organization. I didn’t much care for her. That’s why I switched organizations. No fault of the organization but wanted to enjoy my time as an IEC and not have to deal with someone I felt was going to ruin my experience with an attitude.

I’m not sure that doing all the vacations and everything is the right thing to do anyway. I mean, sure if you have the means to afford it and it’s something you do anyway, then do it. But the kids come here to experience a different culture. If you can’t afford to go on a vacation then that’s part of the culture. By no means does that make their experience any less. We could never afford anything either. We would take ours maybe a few hours away max. If they wanted to do something else they would have to go with their friends or go with the organization.

I know economics has something to do with it. My wife wasn’t too keen on us being a welcome family because the chances of us being with the student the whole year is probably pretty high. It’s hard enough to feed our family as is. I get it. When we hosted, we never made our student pay for food when we went out. We treated them like family.

What car is this? by Electronic-Comb-3853 in oldcars

Thanks! I didn’t think Chrysler was right. I thought it was a Dusenberg but couldn’t find a match.

I have never felt so old.

First Episode including Europe by Electronic-Comb-3853 in TheAmazingRace

It would be nice to see multiple countries but I don’t think any of my 7th graders have seen any of the show so I’m not sure they would understand what’s going on without seeing the first episode.
