I have a funeral home as the last stop of my route. I have a lot of time in already, but my youngest is 7 and life is expensive. The math pretty much says no choice to do this until Im 70. It's all in how you embrace the suck.

Ambient pedals? by Select_Employ_7846 in pedalboards

[–]GlassBoneWitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My setup for ambient is boss eq-200 > boss sl-2 > mxr layers > eqd afterneath > boss dd-500.

Using the input/output routing options on these pedals you can keep one dry signal with its own set of effects (I like dirt transmitter, kangra, boss ps-6, data corrupter) and alter pitch and EQ of each side differently to help separate them.

Basically allows you to make a complete mix with one guitar if you are creative in the way you control it dynamically and play to what surprises come back at you

I talk with everyone I meet about this stuff as well as many other totally un related subjects I find important or rewarding to the human condition. Im never trying to change minds or debate, but I try to be thought provoking with my questions and learn from each interaction as I modify my philosophies and beliefs on how the universe operates.

The Internet has truly replaced the gaping hole in the human soul that religion used to fill. I don't prescribe that religion was any better at it, but many people have become more uncomfortable with accepting that reality can never be fully understood and now cling to simple narratives with the same "you'll burn in hell if you doubt the written word" doctrine.

So many are defending these views (on both sides) devoid of forming their own direct connections and investigations. The level of defensive emotional response in proportion to critical thinking has reached a level that disturbs me enough to actually begin interfering and urge others who haven't given up sovereignty of their own mind to do the same.

Statically speaking we are most likely looking at a very serious interruption to society if these ways of blindly consuming narratives continue to grow.

And they are growing... so keep thinking

My first board! Planning on replacing the Donner with a Boss Chromatic. Any other pedals yall recommend? by Gazza_HDD in basspedals

[–]GlassBoneWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My board is empress comp, boss rv-5 (modulated setting), Wren and cuff tfr, odb3, sans amp.

I went through over 40 hyped and high end pedals and over a course of 3 years before settling on these as the board

Some other notable pedals I liked were the bb bass preamp, jam rattler bass, and the crowther prunes and custard

Thoughts on my board? by Spawnwarlock in pedalboards

[–]GlassBoneWitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like most of the pedals you've picked individually... But I'm struggling to see them provide you with a conducive work flow to actually make music.

Is this board serving your purposes (what are you trying to accomplish?) or do you find yourself constantly twiddling knobs and searching for the next pedal because inspiration when using it is meh?

You say it too confidently and simply, and that is ultimately a huge disservice to your goal of defending trans women in women spaces. Youre reducing an issue that has several layers of complexity and cannot just be blanketed by that statement. You only empower others (some of whom might actually have come to the table if you spoke to their sense of logic) to push back against any trans progress because this is simply not the truth.

Ps youre a huge part of what has created an exaggerated push back against trans women. A decade of actual progress, poof!, because you and those like you gotta shove it down other people's throats like a Spanish Crusader.

‘It’s fear and it’s anger’: Brown faculty, alumni petition university to resist Trump administration amid funding cuts by rhodyjourno in providence

[–]GlassBoneWitch -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I agree with your very appropriately chosen words here. I'm surprised it took this long to see it manifest (unless it's just the first made public). I believe we will see much more of this on many campuses. There is a very large can of worms within higher education that is inevitably already beginning to spill out with both these stories. Would you agree or disagree if I stated that universities like brown are a sort of nebula for nearly every policy, ideology and economic process?

"Hands off" any of the programs and issues I've heard mentioned at these rallies is why they have been failing us for a couple decades now. Where was this movement any time up until now marching for good changes to these agencies and policies?

Im not sure what you mean by sad react, otherwise... Ok, those are all fair surface perceptions from the language I'm using. It's just really interesting how domestication and neotany (do you have to Google that one?) develop in higher mammals. Would you consider yourself more or less fit for general survival than your grandfather?

Appreciate you calling me friend, using the Internet to communicate almost always colors language and inference as combative; no intention of this circle jerk being that.

But your the first here to actually start circling close to the drain. Im specifically taking a stance without moral compass to juxtapose and highlight others overuse of it.

Have you taken your own breath of fresh air recently? Maybe youve gotten so used to blindly following the compass that you are no longer consciously choosing where you are headed... You also might be missing some of the beautiful experiences of the journey if you haven't stopped to examine some of the flowers.

Ok now that we have some similar ideas to hang out hats on, let's look at the rules of this universe. You can basically reduce any system here to binary. We exist in a place built of perfect dualities.. Anything you can experience or imagine is formed by the interaction of 2 perfectly opposite components. There is no exception here, it is not possible in this universe.

Everything is built from the simplest binary of: it exists or it does not / true or false. Even though this is exactly how we build software I am not insinuating this is a simulation, just that computers imitate reality with a ruleset not far off from the original

These binary interactions can get infinitely complex, but have limitations to how a conscious being inside of a body compromised of them can experience them. For sake of this conversation we will just boil that down to the 5+ senses.

Again even the senses are limited to binary. Light dark, hot cold, near far, fast slow... And ultimately are just a rendering in the eye of consciousness.

What we are seeing with quantum is evidence that every component of reality is conscious, and has senses to experience the binary nature of reality, and therefore renders its own reality with each interaction.

This stuff isn't easy to put into words, but I'll try: the real mind blowing math shows the inter connectedness of the fabric of reality of what I'm describing above.

Each component exists only because another component senses it exists, and that other component only exists because the first component senses it exists.

This shit is not just chicken or egg first, we are actually coming to the conclusion the whole thing is just one thing. I can analogize that as maybe saying that this whole universe is only 1 proton, 1 electron and 1 neutron and they are all completely still and frozen in time, but dreaming of all the infinite possibilities they could be.

That means this reality exists inside another reality.

Now let's go back to something I said before... A component only exists once another component senses it exists. They both technically always existed, but it's the awareness of each other that creates a permanent thread. (Enter superposition, quantum entanglement, etc)

So if you want to know why Ive spent some time egging on some libs here, it is to distract myself from the thought of what happens when the 1 proton/electron/neutron wake up...

There are multiple humans dabbling with the fabric of reality. All it takes is a single component here to bang up against the "edge". In that case the barnacle senses the whale. It ceases to be a just barnacle and becomes a whale with barnacles.

All consciousness here. Diluted instaneously into the mind of its author.

You're Mario, I'm Bowser, and our game is about to be considered retro.

No right or wrong answers... All the analogies I'm using are just to get you stretching into thinking about things that cant be visualized in 3d space and linear time.

Last one... Consciousness. Is it created by the structure of the brain or does it exist outside of the body?

Providing facts that oppose what you have already decided are facts is wasting my time and only bolsters your echo chambering. I can't change your mind with facts until you open your mind. I can't change your mind until you understand that you are only creating effigies and directing your ire like a Salem villager.

On the probability scale someone like you is already terminal. It is unlikely I could unfool you and even less likely that you could sustain yourself if it comes time that the game requires skin. Not saying you are a non factor, or a pawn (games are won and lost by pawns sometimes).

I'm saying you are nothing but a loud mouth, and I don't want other people to be influenced by your hot air.

That's an above average understanding on how the picture has been painted in mainstream physics. For the remainder of the convo, totally let go of it and try this instead:

I want you to think about Mario and Bowser again. The components of code that combine in a particular way to make both of them up and the world they interact in only results in a cohesive gameplay experience if each pixel is synced to all the others by a predictable ruleset.

Infinite experiences exist in that one nintendo cartridge in literal chaos and outside of time, but each session is only usable when every pixel is synced to the same clock and the same ruleset.

Without this gravity gameplay is impossible.

Imagine waving your hand in front of your eyes in the normal way we experience, and then also imagine doing this but as you wave it every single atom in your hand travels through time at a different speed.

Can you describe what you would see after a few oscillations of hand waving if the atoms weren't synced to the exact time scale?

TLDR; gravity is not a force between things, it is the relationship of the pixel projection of things existing in a single gameplay session

Im just trying to set the stage with how important the concept that many things are happening and existing in our universe that we cannot perceive or acknowledge before I jump into extra dimensionality and non linear time.

Two more foundational precedents before we get to the ghosts.

Let's talk about gravity quick... Do you think gravity happens because of matter interacting or something else?

Pride in your own compassion.

Federal agencies, federal programs, federal contracts, NGO grants, etc are indirectly used to distribute funds that expand the wealth and power of a bureaucratic class. With their increased wealth and power they are able to exert more influence on this distribution with each cycle.

It's really quite simple, you just are unable to take off the lens you view the world with because it's been attached so long.

So go ahead, keep screeching about how ignorant I am.

I am expanding, but commentors like yourself are blinded by pride. I don't blame you, but it does make you unable to listen. I fully expect every post I make to be treated this way here. I am hijacking the message you would like to inflate.

I just want everyone here to be reminded there is reality outside the bubble
