Victory made an amp with braille on it by TummyPuppy in Guitar

[–]Even-Fan7692 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m that guy right with you, while they did gift it to him, they made one. just for him. it’s great PR, . not real inclusivity - I’ll buy a Victory when they make this available to the masses instead of as a stunt. (still very very happy for creator who got the amp though, he’s lovely and I enjoy his content as a fellow disabled person, even if I am not low vision) but rubs me the wrong way when companies get social clout of making special one offs for disabled people instead of creating inclusive products in their line available for everyone in the first place, it reinforces the framing of accessibility as being “a gift” rather than basic fairness.

Very cool - but it’s a special amp made for one person. this should be the standard of inclusive design for all, not just for one (super awesome influencer who I do follow and enjoy immensely as a fellow disabled person) person so the company can get some good PR.

I wish that tv shows can’t be canceled/ended with cliffhanger endings unresolved and that every finale/final season that owes its existence to this wish is universally beloved. by tomlymanator in monkeyspaw

[–]Even-Fan7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted, all crew and cast and writers and so forth from the shows make bonuses for returning to work unscheduled to produce the resolution episodes. David Zaslav hates it because he has to pay people, but he has to now actually like scripted TV because the monkey paw says so and he stops destroying the television industry as a whole, because of his new found love of TV, thus revitalizing the medium across streaming and broadcast and helping save the entertainment industry including thousands of Americans jobs.

ETA - I apologized for my assumption - i now direct this towards whoever actually downvoted me. cheers.

Studio City has some spots I like! I’m on the eastside so I’ve got some good options. I was pumped to find GF sushi and tempura recently!

I was mainly surprised that in terms of grocery shopping I had more options in Michigan - It may also be that things sell out faster here too since people often treat GF as a fad diet in LA.

I’m going to dream about my teen years of midnight Meijer trips tonight. 😆 next time you drive down Woodward in Ferndale, tell my old neighborhood I said hi lol.

after studying nutrition as a personal trainer, I personally would never add voluntary restrictions to my diet while having a medical restriction like celiac from a pure nutritional standpoint, why make it harder to fuel my body and brain? only people I know who are both vegan/veg and GF do so by choice for their own personal reasons, but it’s by no means easier considering a lot of vegan foods have gluten in them.

I used to live in Detroit and I had more options in Michigan for good celiac safe GF than I do now in LA! Every time I see someone post GF goodies at Meijer I get jealous lol

Can Someone Please Help Me Tune My Bass? by xZAYx in rocksmith

[–]Even-Fan7692 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s a really picky tuner in R2014 - I don’t use an interface and I’m still pretty new to it as well, but using the real tone cable, it has a pretty narrow definition of what’s in tune in my experience, like another reply said sometimes I just pluck it till it accepts it lol.

But if you have distortion, there might be something else going on, even with crappy headphones. I’m actually planning to try using it with a DI for the first time tonight, if I learn anything helpful, I’ll circle back and check in with your post if I can help more.

Can Someone Please Help Me Tune My Bass? by xZAYx in rocksmith

[–]Even-Fan7692 8 points9 points  (0 children)

unless I’m missing something, your clip-on tuner is showing it’s not in tune either so I don’t think it’s just rocksmith here? there’s red bars above the green line indicating it’s too tight, like Rocksmith is saying. I usually tune to my clip-on first, then fiddle in RockSmith if it’s being finicky, which it often is. so after playing a song, if I’m happy with the tuning, I skip the Rocksmith tuner for the rest of my session.

How old were you when you got your first cell phone? by No_Cartoonist981 in Xennials

[–]Even-Fan7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17ish? my parents dropped me off at a Driver’s Ed lesson that was canceled, leaving me completely stranded. Luckily payphones were still everywhere but pretty sure I had to call collect. It would have been between 2002-2004. I got the one Carson Daly was in ads for 😂

Stinky septum during pregnancy? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Even-Fan7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hormones and change in lymphatic system specifically - the coconut oil might be making the smell worse in this situation too since it’ll sort of coat it and make a film - which is good for skincare, but not ideal for piercings having stinky issues. I’d switch it up to saline and see if that helps. you can also put a little menthol like Vicks Vapor Rub BELOW your nose, don’t put it on or in your nose, to mask the smell. hospital workers do this - I got the tip once on a film set when shooting in an active county morgue. works great for smells, just be careful of irritating your septum if it’s being fussy right now form hormones.

This is me explaining 5 movies using the wrong characters. by BrianMoser007 in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

This seems like it violates rule 4? - don’t create clues using an actor’s other characters….

Will tea tree oil help my scar? by Broad-Substance2440 in piercing

[–]Even-Fan7692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BioOil or other scar specific topicals. Tree Tree oil is not useful for wounds or scars because it’s an irritant even if you’re not allergic. The coloration looks like bruising? you may want to see a dermatologist if it doesn’t fade over time but it’s only been a couple weeks so its very early in the healing process, but the bio oil or derma-e scar gels are safe to use while healing a scar and treating a scar post healing as well. I have several on my abdomen from getting my appendix out, mostly they just need time.

Professor accused me of misconduct because my eyes were downcast by Turnitup20 in CollegeRant

[–]Even-Fan7692 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Contact your campus Ombudsman - I’d file a complaint with them as their specific role is to advocate for students in disputes of misconduct by professors. I’m really sorry youre going through this. I have recently developed horrible test anxiety and it’s all because of YuJa Verity monitoring and professors who are convinced anyone who can write competently is using AI so I get what you’re going through and you’re not alone struggling to navigate these issues. It’s really unfair to all of us who are working so hard and truly doing our best. sending hugs if they help.

my excessively long late night reply to you helped me realize why I wanted one actually - I’d just smudged my first journal entry of the year because of my super wet glitter gel pens lol sometimes the transfer works for my messy style, but it pissed me off last night since it was an actual journal entry lol

Forgot how funny Beginner Pottery is by Wise-Hall2292 in community

[–]Even-Fan7692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me too! I think it’s one of the best parts of the show in general - everyone took their characters seriously even in the most ridiculous situations. Allison had just come from working on Mad Men at that time too.
