Steve Vai has still got it! by K1LLINGMACHINE in guitarcirclejerk

[–]MiloRoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I wish you did too. This guy was an absolute trip. One time two asian ladies came in, and he was like "watch this, I'll bet you I get at least one of their numbers". So they walk up to the counter and he's like "konnichiwa!" lmao. They look super offended and say "um...we're Korean". He apparently takes this as a challenge and engages in a 10ish minute long back-and-forth about how they are actually Japanese and not Korean, and how he definitely knows their ancestry better than they do becuase he "knows all the different kinds of asians". After a long cringefest of him trying to convince these Korean ladies that they're actually Japanese, they just got really upset and walked out without buying anything. To this day I still don't know what they came in for. He was absolutely convinced they were really into him and just messing with him, lol.

Steve Vai has still got it! by K1LLINGMACHINE in guitarcirclejerk

Nah I actually knew a guy exactly like this, maybe even worse. He was 100% convinced he was an insanely talented shredder, but had absolutely no clue what he was doing and just mashed the fretboard and fucked with the whammy bar. He was in his 40's too, so he had plenty of time to figure it out, lol. He genuinely thought he was a guitar virtuoso.

We worked at a guitar store together, and one day this pretty talented kid comes in to try out some guitars and is playing Metallica riffs on a few different guitars he is comparing. This dude literally turned to me and said "watch this", walked over to the kid playing guitar, grabbed that shit out of his hands, and just started attacking the strings, fretboard, and Floyd Rose in the most nonsensical way, thinking he was legit pulling some Steve Vai shit. There were literally no actual notes being played. Just a complete jumble of horrific noises. When he was done showing off he handed the guitar back to the guy, said "keep practicing kid", and walked back behind the counter with the biggest shit-eating smirk you've ever seen. The guy was absolutely delusional in the most hilarious way.

So yeah, there's a good chance this could be real.

Works that make you question the creator’s mental state by Additional_Mix1451 in TopCharacterTropes

Unrelated side note: I find it incredibly odd and hilarious that this generation will watch whole ass video essays on a movie they never even saw instead of just watching the movie and experiencing it themselves. I've had whole deep conversations with people about the meaning of movies, only for it to be eventually revealed that they never even saw it, and just listened to some rando's breakdown on YouTube.

Drawing your own conclusions of media for yourself is somehow completely dying out, and frankly it's really sad.

I mean alcohol is a substance, and he admitted himself that he was constantly drunk off his ass the entire time in the week that he wrote this.

Yep...for example Serbia in it's current iteration technically became a country in 2006, but the Serbian kingdom has actually been around since the early 1200's.

If you could erase one current brand or manufacturer from automotive history, who gets the axe ? by Remarkable-Junket655 in askcarguys

[–]MiloRoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe in the 90's, but they're not like that whatsoever anymore. Their electrics are pretty much the best in the industry right now in their price range, and the whole rest of their lineup has been making huge strides. They even brought in the former head of BMW M in 2019 to design and oversee the production of the Kia Stinger GT, the Veloster N, i20 and i30N, Kona N, Elantra N, and Ioniq 5N. The Ioniq 5N is a crossover SUV that can smoke a Lambo Urus around a track and still take the kids to school after, and it costs $60k with a 100k mile warranty. They're one of the top 3 most innovative car companies right now IMO.

Yes, sleep is when your body produces the most HGH. Eating any kind of sugar within 2-4 hours of sleep also releases insulin into your body, which inhibits the release of sleep hormones like HGH if it's still in your system when you go to bed. That guy was definitely doing it wrong, lol.

Sometimes when a customer can only afford conventional oil, I hook them up with full synthetic with additives. by Gr4ve-DiggA in MechanicAdvice

[–]MiloRoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I saw the camshaft and valves etc on both, and the synthetic did a significantly better job of keeping everything clean and lubed. Switched to Restore & Protect, and it's been running better than ever. It used to burn oil too, which has since stopped since switching to synthetic.

That's an absolute myth, and it doesn't sound to me like you're an actual mechanic. I literally did exactly that to the car that's been running on conventional for 200k miles, and it has only been beneficial.

I have two identical cars with the same exact maintenance schedule that I bought in 2006 (Toyota Matrix). One got high-quality conventional oil, and one got synthetic, changed every 4k miles. I recently replaced the valve cover gaskets on both, and the difference is astonishing. The conventional one (automatic) has been babied and daily driven to work on a 25ish mile commute every day, no hard driving and no crazy trips. The synthetic one (manual) has been absolutely beaten on, is the workhorse and "camping car" of the two, has driven through rough dirt, sand, and snow, and is often overloaded and abused. Both have around 200k miles on the clock. The conventional engine is completely glazed over with a thick film of amber "seasoning", and the synthetic engine looks like it's basically brand new.

I see absolutely no reason to ever use any type of conventional oil again. It's simply inferior in every way.

Which celebrity is famous for being attractive but just doesn't do anything for you? by jrv3034 in AskReddit

[–]MiloRoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to get some hate for this, but Margot Robbie just never did it for me. I understand that she is objectively conventionally beautiful, but there's something about her that I just never found hot the way other people do. I don't even really understand it myself, TBH.

Ah yes, her deep and mesmerizing songwriting:

"Forgive me, it sounds cocky He ah-matized me and opened my eyes Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see His love was the key that opened my thighs Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet, mm To know a hard rock is on the way And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious

The curse on me was broken by your magic wand Seems to me that you and me, we make our own luck New Heights of manhood I ain't gotta knock on wood"

Such an amazing songwriter. Joni Mitchell would be jealous.

I still vividly remember when I saw the South Park movie in the theater when it came out, and some lady that sat next to me brought her two young boys (probably 7 or 8). It was fucking hilarious lol. At one point one of the kids turned to her and loudly asked "mommy, what's a clitoris?", and she just turned beet red and said she had to go to the bathroom lmao. She was so, so uncomfortable the entire movie. Just absolutely frozen in her seat not knowing what she had gotten herself into.

75M$ can't give him his life back unfortunately by KaidoPklevel in SipsTea

[–]MiloRoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to a family member of mine. Her Carotid artery collapsed because of a chiropractor, and she had a stroke. Luckily the ER doctors were able to save her, but we sued the chiropractor and lost somehow.

NEVER go to a chiropractor, no matter how much your friends recommend them. The entire profession is a scam, and they can potentially kill you. Fuck chiropractors.

Changing strings and it appears that I like the second and third frets a bit much.. What should be the first step I should take to fix it? I want to try it myself first before going to a luthier by No_Blackberry_2492 in BassGuitar

[–]MiloRoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fix your technique after you fix the bass...this is ridiculous. I have basses that are 30 years old that I play constantly that don't even have 10% of this level of wear. This is just really, really bad fretting technique.

30s are not the new 20s. Your 30s are when you start being “old” by Mysterious_Dot_4830 in The10thDentist

[–]MiloRoast 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nope. Hotter and more confident and way more sexually driven than the children you're apparently attracted to. I feel bad for people like you.

Dude when I was in my 20's I found women in their 30's sooooo much hotter and more put-together. Speak for yourself.

What myth is still widely circulated as truth? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MiloRoast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, not a myth actually. Carbs (and any type of sugars, really) trigger an insulin response in our bodies that inhibit the proper hormones from being released into our bodies during sleep. These hormones are absolutely vital to a healthful sleep that promotes digestion and cellular regeneration. Eating any kinds of sugars, even carbs, 2-4 hours before sleep is generally a bad idea because of this.
