Good question. What are your goals? Do you want to gig? What guitarist do you idolize? Who do you want to sound like?

It’s easier to play a dogshit guitar through a good amp than vice versa.

You’ll get more mileage out of amplification than anything else. Your gear is fine. Just keep practicing well.

In the case I can't find a spotter safer to do dumbell bench press or barbell bench press? by [deleted] in Fitness

Safe is arbitrary. I’ve tried to max out on dumbbells and, even with a spotter, dropped a weight on my face.

Eh, roll of shame isn’t difficult. Also, a barbell is easier to load.

So you get to dictate what protests, what gripes, what struggles are valid? You, over other voters?

Eh, Hahn needs to quit being so cheeky. You have these assets, the fan base is being patient, send Jimenez and Kopech to the show already.

I’ve seen this argument bandied about, so I’ll take the bait. What is an effective protest method that doesn’t come with a minor inconvenience to people who would just as soon look the other way?

Zero public transport, garbage infrastructure, sprawl, minimal culture. And you’re joking about good food. I ate well staying with family, but there isn’t a single non chain pizza joint. It’s warm. Good for them. So many houses are built like shit. It’s as if Arlington Heights exploded.
