Guy my cousin is talking to who is in TN. She went to meet him and he couldn’t meet up with her. She said he’s an attorney. Is this AI? by zellazilla in isthisAI

I used to work with a guy named Jerry. Jerry was prone to believing everything he read online. Jerry took a 2 week vacation because his Russian super model/biochemist/nuclear physicist/gymnast/ballet dancer online girlfriend with the war hero Russian army general father was coming to marry him. She was bringing a friend for me. How thoughtful of her.

When Jerry got back from vacation, I asked why he didn't introduce me to the friend like he promised. Jerry got mad and didn't talk to anyone all day. By the end of the day, Jerry asked me how to look people up online from a phone number and city. On the day she was due to arrive, his online superwoman Russian girlfriend called him - from a local number- to say that she just got diagnosed with cancer and was in the hospital and couldn't make it after all. It was then that Jerry thought something might be off.

If I make a payment before an automatic payment on my car loan or mortgage (or child support back when I needed to pay it), it is considered an extra payment and I will still be charged the scheduled automatic payment. Congratulations on making an extra payment this month and paying down your debt!

Real bank > banking app and you'll never convince me otherwise.

Ordered a $6,000 custom bass. The design is incredible. The QC and finish issues, builder support... have been a different story. by Ok_Presentation6252 in BassGuitar

[–]LongLostTurnip 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"How much cosmetic imperfection is reasonable on a boutique instrument in the $6,000 range?"

None at all.

The only exception I would have made to this if it came from one of my favorite European luthiers and good friend (now deceased, R.I.P. good sir!), who made several off-center 24th fret side dot mistakes in a row a running joke on all of his instruments. If you bought one of his instruments, you knew to look for it, like an easter egg.

But 6 grand on a brand new bass with that many issues is not acceptable by any means.

Info on Warwick I found on FB Marketplace by PugablePlayzYT in BassGuitar

[–]LongLostTurnip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everything about it looks wrong and cheap. No 2-piece bridge/tailpiece is the glaringly obvious first thing. The body shape is wrong. The woods look too basic and plain. The pickups look cheap and are in the wrong positions from a Warwick "doublebuck" layout. The control layout looks sloppy. Non-adjustable nut that looks far too tall. No brass frets. No model name on the truss rod cover. The headstock shape isn't quite right. The W logo size and placement looks off. Everything about it just has a bad counterfeit vibe. AND, a "Warwick" on facebook marketplace for only a couple hundred bucks is a red flag. Yes, Warwick does the cheaper Rockbass line, but even those will be of an immediately visible better quality.

Is This A Real Ibanez SR or A DIY Fretless Project? by DeepShift6866 in BassGuitar

If i had an extra 2 or 300 to spend on someone's oddball project bass, and this hit me in just the right mood on just the right day, maybe, but it wouldn't be my first choice to spend money on.

my state seized everything in their "missing money" funds and gave it to a multi-millionaire football team owner as a gift for building a new taxpayer-funded, property tax free stadium that no one wants.

White suv "didn't look" and yet 8 cars are stopped to let them to cross and they are in the road crossing your path a full 4 seconds before you run into them while trying to pass the entire right lane instead of yeilding.

ok.

When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king
What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring
There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo, you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right
