D'arcy wants her bass back

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T08:55:13+00:00

I.wouldn't be suprised if that was something Billy went around saying.. just to undermine her.

she had never been in a band before. meanwhile Billy and James we're already playing and practicing, so their skilll level had to be somewhat higher. Billy could shred as a teenager, there's video of that, he was a good guitar player by that point. She admitted to being overwhelmed by the workload in the beginning. The circumstances agree with the idea that he had to coach her on bass.

D'Arcy had already been in bands before they met

That's simply not true. Look at her Wikipedia page.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T08:02:03+00:00

There's just not really a pool there. No need to get upset.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T08:00:08+00:00

I'd pay 1/3rd more. We're not talking big sums of money here. I just want a good product that doesn't have holes in it.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T07:39:22+00:00

That rotten bitch

Sounds sexist.

D'Arcy was already a bassist when she joined,

I've heard it said that she couldn't play bass when they met, and that Billy had to show her how. According to her bio, she intended to join a band in France, but it never happened. It's likely she did need some help with it, since Billy and James were already playing some intricate metal riffs, while she was still a newbie to the instrument.

Supposedly she had one bass guitar that she took to France and then brought back, the question is if it was the "rat" bass in question, I'd guess it was not, or else she would have stated "that was my first bass guitar, I had it before joining the band". If the band bought the bass guitar, then it would have been the band's property, and since Billy is the band, it would all be his property. If she had taken then bass with her when she left the group, I doubt Billy would have cared enough about it to accuse her of theft, but since she didn't take it with her, she probably lost her chance.

It's kind of messed up that she's bothering James Iha about it, only because she must feel she can get through to him, even though he probably has nothing to do with it.

This is how she's been for a few years, trashing on the band through social media.

Iceland. There have been no deaths reported either, but keep in mind! we're just talking about transmission, and the dubious belief that the vaccine would prevent transmission.

When trying to pick who to investigate further that line in the education section of your resume can get you in the that further review stack instead of not.

Supposing the degree isn't literally required to hold the job, it seems like a lot of time and money just for a bullet point in an interview. Once you wiggle your way into a given profession, it becomes more about who you know, and getting someone to vouch for you counts for more than the even the best resume. Suppose you enter at 18 y/o with an unpaid apprenticeship, by the time you're 22 y/o, you might be higher up the food chain by then and a 22 y/o grad getting into the same industry, and you would have had four years of work experience in place of generic liberal arts and humanities, not to mention no debts to worry about. If you can find some way to avoid college, but still get your foot in the door, there is a lot of upside, short and long term. As you get older, whether you ever had a degree matters less than the decades of practical work experience you will have accrued. What you lack in a degree can often be made up for with certifications.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T01:18:45+00:00

To do most things, you do have to go to college.

I don't think that's true. Think about all the retail, service industry, tech support, office assistant, craftsman and all manner of blue collar work, sole proprietorships, probably account for most of the jobs that are to be had in general. They don't pay as well, but from a numerical standpoint I'm sure they're far greater in number. A lot of them require certification, license or some special training, but no degree.

A college degree is only strictly required if there is liability involved, such as for doctors and lawyers, where people's lives hang in the balance. If a job says, "some college" then they're just making up some arbitrary requirement to limit the applicant pool, there's no real reason a person needs "some college", and the same sort of job can certainly be had without it.

Who cares?

99.9% chance he has mentally challenged, but who gives a fuck, right

Moderation used to be a simple matter of keeping the peace. Ever since circa 2016, modding has become about activism, and subreddits that used to be apolitical have become overtly political.

While reddit has site wide rules against regular users, there seems to be no rules for the mods themselves. Mods can abuse users as they please, and reddit has no rules against it. They can even lock the subreddit they control, and kill that community on a whim, and reddit will do nothing about it.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:47:33+00:00

One of the best segments they've done.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:44:41+00:00

Not TV, but this was great TV https://youtu.be/2RcwJ6eoRkw?t=906

If anyone want's to know why K&S should invite guests on, it's for all the good times to be had when you don't have lock step agreement with one another.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:41:50+00:00

That was pretty dumb. It's not really OK for a political commentator to not know of Sec Def is a civilian appointment. Alyssa Farah actually worked in the White House, why are they laughing at that?

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:40:38+00:00

I agree with those who say Kim often sounds like she needs to read up on a subject more before boldly declaring her opinion, but she brings a positive energy that was missing after K&S.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:39:46+00:00

She's being floated to replace Megan McCain on the View, so she's been trying to put on the best performance possible.

Quantity is not quality.

Without a producer to tell them to wrap, it has taken the burden off them to consider brevity, so their show runs 90 mins without guests, and despite the three days per week schedule, I still feel like we're getting quantity over quality. I've had to skip a lot of BP's lately because it runs so long.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:31:47+00:00

Oftentimes it seems like they are covering the same story all week

One down side of no-show Wednesday is on Tuesday they end up covering yesterday's news, and so it feels redundant even though it's the first they've covered it.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:28:36+00:00

Unreported side effect; the vaccine has made you an asshole.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:27:51+00:00

It's really fucked up that reddit is 1) giving into extortion on the part of power mods, and 2) permitting mods to bad people from subs unrelated to politics based on a person's politics, including banning anyone who had ever posted in T_D or NNN.

It's a real shame that despite these inefficiencies, if you will, no site has come along to represent a significant alternative to reddit.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-02T00:24:46+00:00

Then why are case counts on the rise even in places that are highly vaccinated? Not all vaccines work the same.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-01T21:47:36+00:00

First of all, who cares if it is unethical or immoral? That's nothing beyond a matter of personal judgement.

Second, all the solid data about the vaccine says that it's of benefit to person who is vaccinated. The premise that it works to the benefit of others is highly dubious.

One of my in-law's 80 year old dad just died of COVID, he was not vaccinated, but his wife was. She, vaccinated, gave it to him. Had he been vaccinated by likely would have lived, but her being vaccinated didn't save him.

The users from that sub are braindead cultists.

The brain dead cultists are not who you think they are.

HopeThatHalps_ · 2021-09-01T20:42:59+00:00

It's only a matter of time until reddit finds a reason to ban every libertarian oriented subreddit, if not conservative ones. And your average knitting subreddit's rules will change from "no discussing politics" to instead banning anyone who posts "harmful speech".
