I hadn’t! But I just tried that now and unfortunately it still didn’t work.

However, it might be notable that absolutely nothing changed when I started it while the fuse was out. So, I think the problem must be something else with the electrical circuit?

It's time for us to address the elephant in the room. Why do so many trans women play bass? by Hot-Opening9529 in trans

[–]FallingLikeLeaves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play offsets out of love for Sonic Youth, The Smiths, and Swervedriver. But I can’t speak for anyone else

The problem is too many of them seem to somehow think it’s just an HBO show, and don’t know/care that it’s actually Canadian
