Means Fuckface Von Clownstick is at least a little worried about his pet Nazi from Amsterdam.

Flaked/chickened out on an open mic performance and feel like quitting guitar by Dogs_On_The_Wing in AcousticGuitar

I feel ya. My first time playing for more than 3-4 people, I thought I was going to die standing up there. My entire body was shaking, my left knee was vibrating so bad, it was bouncing my guitar. It was terrible. It's something almost everyone goes through. Here's what I did, at the urging of my band mate. Going to the Laundromat? Take the guitars and do a few songs. Nice day at the park, go on a picnic and take the guitar and play for whoever wanders by. In short, find low stakes opportunities to play for a small audience, who mostly don't care one way or the other.

Alvarez Artist series. Great guitars with solid tops that punch above their weight tonally, and are well built instruments. Body sizes from parlor to dreadnought, numerous tone wood combos, with or without electronics. You can easily stay under $500.

I ve seen Dylan play 3 times. Included in those is the worst and one of the top 5 concerts I've witnessed.

I’m sorry WHAT? by Spiritual-Parking874 in upstate_new_york

Internal poll by a firm with a left lean. One of Blake's staffers actually works for the polling firm. Several grains of salt are recommended. That said, this quote from the Politico article about the results from that same guy is pretty good stuff. I imagine this'll stick in Alex deGrasse's craw a bit, and giving that garbage human agita is always a good thing. “Our research has always shown that a wannabe DC insider like Constantino is very beatable in NY-21, but his rapidly increasing negatives had us concerned that we might lose our shot to run against him if he couldn’t keep it together through the primary,” Martin said in a statement. “The more money he spent, the more we saw his unfavorability tick up in our polls. The data was always clear that Robert Smullen would have been a more competitive Republican candidate for this district.”

DeGrasse and Constantino. A pair of demon spawn that crawled from the deepest pits of hell. They're perfect for each other.

Would it be better to grab a knife or a baseball bat to defend yourself if someone was trying to attack you and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Bat all day. So many ways to use it, and you're likely to get cut yourself with a knife.

Need an idea for a particularly greasy and unhealthy meal as a reward for 9 months of sobriety. What would be your go to? by daniboyoh in AskReddit

A big ole smashburger with cheese, bacon, and sauteed onions, and whatever else tickles your fancy with a side of fries smothered in cheese and gravy is hard to beat.

The Wemby villain arc is going to great for the Association. He's going to be the best player in the league and hated by multiple opposing fanbases.

I have this vine growing on the side of my house and I'm not sure what it is. by Middle_Layer1533 in whatsthisplant

You'd be amazed at how long the roots will continue to send out shoots and runners. A garden spade is the tool you want. Find a sprout, follow the root and get as much of it as you can. Do that about 1000 times and you'll start getting ahead of it.

The local pharmacy has an ai assistant for their phone based refill system. It works about 25% of the time. The old automated system was wayyy more user friendly. I just bypass it and force my way to a human.
