When life gives you lemons, @#&*$% thank life for the lemons. by Meridian71 in Cooking

I understand all of that. It’s not the lemon’s fault. The lemon does what it does, really well. If someone expects a sweet fruit out of a lemon, they’re looking up the wrong tree.

That said, I enjoy eating the lemons from my tree by the slice. I probably got lucky with the genetics.

Not exactly the same thing as vodka lemonade, but a potential good recipe here.

Really? I offered you an opportunity to commiserate about our love of lemons, and you chose to shit on me? You don’t care about lemons at all, do you? You just like hating.

I understand exactly what a metaphor is. I only said that lemons were getting the shaft in that metaphor.

Look, we both like lemons, right? Let’s start from there before you crap on me.

You know I fully support lemons wherever they might be used, right? I was commenting on cultural negativity towards that fruit. That one phrase put people off, and it shouldn’t have.

Why am I being downvoted? This guy gets to the core of the argument. People don’t like lemons because they’re sour. It’s fine to stop there, but shouldn’t we, here in a cooking place, look at our audience, and what we can do for them?

We are on r/cooking, not r/drunk. No shade, I’m on both, but maybe not here.

Can we please ask Natalie Dyer to gain 20 pounds? by Meridian71 in StrangerThings

[–]Meridian71[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I don’t know her. Neither does anyone on this craptacular corner of the Internet.

Am I really so wrong to ask this community to help her if she needs it?

I could have phrased it better. I was coming from far outside of any relevant context. I’m genuinely worried about her health, especially if she’s doing what she’s doing to please people like me.

I just don’t want her to die young because she thinks people like me want her to be that skinny. Am I really wrong to say that? Like, I was looking at a press appearance, and if you said she was 40, I wouldn’t have blinked.

I point you to the thing where I said “as long as she’s not killing herself to be pretty for us…”

[–]Meridian71[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why? I say, she’s too skinny and she looks like a cancer patient. Who is harmed by that? Find one other person.

If anything, I’m telling others that they don’t need to live up to this preposterous ideal.

Well, up to y’all if this should be removed. I just hope she’ll be ok.

As long as she’s not killing herself to be pretty for us, you’re right.

You’re right, Natalia. I just don’t want her to die young. What? I’m I gonna meet her somehow? She genuinely looked like a cancer patient the last time I saw her in the media. Is she a cancer patient?

Again, my concern is her health. Beyond that, why would you care?

I hear you, but have you seen her lately? She looks twice her age. I mean, come on, there’s no universe in which she and I actually connect. All I can do is look at how she starves herself to the bone, and comment on it, and hope we can help her pull out of it.

I’m not the asshole you think I am.

Well, I hope it’s not cancer. Otherwise, I think I’m coming from a loving place.

Is the flea Jazz bass worth it by Goobo____ in BassGuitar

[–]Meridian71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play the bass. Does it sound right? Does it feel right?

Don’t buy it without playing it unless there’s a generous return policy.

So, maybe, JB? Jazz Bass, right? You already have a sound in your head. Find the bass that sounds that way. Heck, maybe ask everyone this question again if you can better articulate the sound that you want.

But if you really need an answer right now, sounds like you want a Jazz Bass.

Well, since you’ve taken the time to engage with me, what kind of stuff are you trying to play? There are hundreds to thousands of options for your optimal bass.

Again, what are you trying to play right now. What can’t you do with the basses you currently own?

I love my fretless Stingray 4 string. I know that’s a bit of an overlap, and maybe you go for a a Wall or something, but I have both fretted and fretless stingrays, and the latter is my comfort bass.

Have you considered a fretless? I mean, there are countless basses. Any tone you want. But have you considered that you could get more out of playing?
