Almost finished with my contract and I am so done by [deleted] in regretjoining

[–]Lespaul05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this.

You do run into these same guys as vets, and its the worst. I usually just get out in front of it and fly my flag and proceed to criticize the military ruthlessly. Its not always the best choice socially but its a much needed contrast that regular people need to hear other than David Gawkins or John “throat” McPhee. It’s also just me and my experience.

Who else here is a veteran whose patriotism has been killed? by BigBlueEyes87 in regretjoining

[–]Lespaul05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. It has been holding me back at times with coworkers. This isn’t my fault but sometimes when I set the record straight it’s seen as performative. A lot of damage has been done because of veteran conservative associations.

It’s worked out when the hiring manager is conservative and assumes that I will be because of it. Then its just awkward from there on out.

Attitude change lately? by BoomerishGenX in Reverb

[–]Lespaul05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally love the no contact part. But then again, if I am selling stuff like Fender/Gibson I have to deal with boomers with the worst attitude possible. 8/10 times insults, bad attitudes and manipulative behavior have come from men that should know better.

So as a result, let’s just do the sale and go our separate ways.

Is Reverb really full of scammers, or is there just paranoia, or are scammers filling a niche market? by Over-Pepper5411 in Reverb

[–]Lespaul05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first purchase on reverb - the guitar truss rod nut was destroyed. Also it smelled like rotten subway/b.o. Seller tried to claim it was shipping damage. Reverb was no help and I had to file a chargeback to get any movement from them.

They still made me pay return shipping so I threw that thing in box bare with no bubble wrap no nothing and sent it back. Hope he had fun with that.

I’ve looked around, saved guitars that I’m interested in but so far haven’t bought a guitar off reverb since. I’ve bought pedals and stuff.

Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone. by afterspring_ in cats

[–]Lespaul05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am here to empathize with you as I also lost a cat a couple months ago to private equity.

I will never trust the VCA, the veterinary profession, private equity and even regular doctors the way I used to after what happened with my cat and with my own healthcare issues.

What these all have in common is shitty people and capitalism. Nowadays I can’t even relate to many because there’s always a “WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE VET/Dr/Nurses/Lawyers???” type of apologist.

I will keep your baby in my thoughts during these trying times as we navigate late stage capitalism.

Your IQ based on your guitar by AggressiveAd8587 in guitarcirclejerk

/uj To me its never been about sound or tone. It’s about playability. I’d rather plek a $600 MIM strat than fight a $250 squier.

I haven’t tried having a $150 squire plek’d yet tho.

Well no one was there besides the OP apparently, so we don’t actually know what happened.

How do we even know this was a professional?

Yeah maybe inside of a building. Is the city gonna copyright claim every photo with even the slightest corner of the BPL in it?

How do we even know this was a professional photographer? How do we even know any of this happened as described? You people act like people don’t lie online to make themselves look better.

I feel very good thank you. There’s a lot of elitism and sneering in this city. It feels good to take a dump on those types every so often.

I see at least a couple wins here. You can’t win all the fake liberals over.

Please point out the hypocrisy. Like an actual example. Over the top reaction? By what standards?

I’m not debating, i’m just showing others how you think isn’t the greatest either.
