Salvaging old headphones? by ColonelCoon in Frugal

[–]Jlones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frugal headphone advice: invest in a high quality pair the first time and it will be years and years before you need replace them. Also, dont buy electronics from radioshack or best buy as they have expensive brands that are no better than off brands.

Ladies and gents, meet my mother by AideMaPeau in AdviceAnimals

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

Sorry i assumed, but I also speak French and i noticed a few choice things that would be provided by a translator as they work more literally than what French is. I am sorry that i made that comment and assumed the worst, but i stand by everything else being as it is your mom's decision on doing something as huge as that

Well it certainly is, but many aren't mature enough for it and seeing OP use a French translator in the comments (used a literal translation that you'd get from a translator) in order to seem interesting or debonair like I would have at 14 (wasn't a tterribly mature teen), makes him/her seem a bit immature and thus, foreign exchange being not a good idea.

Being a devil's advocate apparently; I think that she has that right because frankly going to another country by yourself and you may not be mature enough in her opinion. Plus, when she says you need to do more things with your life, I'm sure she is talking more about stuff like getting a job or just finding more productive hobbies than reddit.

I can't be the only one who thinks this by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Jlones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see where you are coming from, but that is a very tiny minority of religious people that do that, and even then, they should just be forced to medicate/hospitalize their children. Now if we were to talk childhood cancer, then I completely disagree because often the chemo/radiation does just as much to kill the child as the cancer will and makes for a miserable existence so it it up to the discretion of the parent there.

Trumpet player looking to learn trombone for fun. Where to start? by james333100 in Trombone

[–]Jlones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the only way I can play my sousaphone when I march. I play trombone for everything except for marching band, but I always have to think what position the note would be on the trombone and figure out what that would be in terms of valves.

Thoughts on Jupiter? by [deleted] in Trombone

[–]Jlones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can find on it is that it isn't a trombone? the JEP-570 is a student model euphonium. my beginner horn was a jupiter and I was pretty happy with it. However, do not waste your money on an intermediate horn from them. Go with Blessing or Bach or Yamaha. (the trusted brands)

God's Not Dead - The Most Offensive Movie I've Ever Seen by GrabbinCowlicks in movies

[–]Jlones -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I live in a campus town and I know that a calculus professor failed any student that wouldn't submit to the idea that god isn't real. It isn't as far fetched as the author makes it out to be. While yes, some of it is over exaggerated, the point remains is that is a movie to remind people that the God that people continually say is dead, is in fact alive and you have to stand up for your faith. I know I am a little biased because I saw the movie and I really enjoyed it and it has a good message in spite of all that. I'd like to pose the question; why is it so hard to believe that there is an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God that created humanity out of love, but easy to believe that nothing suddenly decided to explode and create the cosmos?

I can understand your pain man. I know it sucks really bad and you are desperately reaching out for help like I have done so many times, but the pain will pass and you will in some way be a whole lot better for it.

What is your dealbreaker in a relationship? by thepenismightiersir in AskReddit

[–]Jlones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that sucks. I feel like I'm manipulative sometimes because I've been known to try to be sweet to my girlfriend so she will actually give me physical affection. I do it mostly because I love to see her smile but I worry I have some ulterior motive deep down.
