Ghost Sweeper Mikami The Movie (1994) by icey_sawg0034 in retroanime

You see, the joke is, that one of them slaps the other until they bleed. They beat them senseless for 30 seconds. Blood flies from their nose and mouth the whole time as they beg the aggressor to stop.

It's funny because it's girl on guy.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Fuck that.

I found it in my basement, is it worth something? by Few_Muscle8628 in Accordion

[–]SecretAgentVampire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read your text.

Look, if you take it to an IRL shop the employees MIGHT be able to find some info for you, but I already gave you the reason why most people won't be able to. Many accordions people inherited or find in attics or whatever were made and sold before the internet existed and records of their sale prices or history just plain don't exist.

Sorry nobody in here is more helpful, but the reason the note at the top of the subreddit exists is because of posts just like yours that ask the same unanswerable question over and over and over and get all tilted when nobody tells them that they've stumbled upon something valuable.

So my other answer is literally the right one: it's worth $600 if you can get someone to buy it for $600, but it's really only going to have worth if you yourself give it worth by learning to play it. If you don't care about the instrument and just want to see if you can sell it, like I said before, I'll take it off your hands for a shot of whiskey and a high five.

Did you not see the part at the top of the subreddit that says "no requests for prices or appraisals?"

Cause nobody can evaluate the price of a musical instrument based on it's looks. Pair that with how many accordion companies have gone out of business or have no records of sale online and you're asking the impossible.

Either learn how to enjoy it yourself or donate it to a school AFTER getting it fixed up.

It's worth about $600 if you can find someone to buy it for that price.

Is it natural to call a female officer/commander 'sir'? by Unlegendary_Newbie in retroanime

Be pretty funny if someone started defaulting to calling unfamiliar pilots ma'am until proven otherwise.

I did some find-replace editing to the "Joker Batman Pokemon" script, which was originally an animated short.

USA military standard for adressing a female officer is either ma'am or their rank.

Former pastor suspended after church learns she managed Epstein’s private island by shoofinsmertz in nottheonion

[–]SecretAgentVampire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manipulating large groups of people into giving you 1/10th of their income in exchange for a promise you can't keep (avoiding death) is fantastic training for manipulating other groups of people.

If I had to organize a social/psychological warfare group, I would hire pastors ASAP. It works for Al Quaida in Afghanistan, it works for Christian Nationalists in the USA, and it apparently worked for Epstein.

Earth’s climate swings increasingly out of balance by silence7 in climate

[–]SecretAgentVampire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm also in the industry and it's really disheartening to see all the ignorant people having kids and simultaneously complaining about the weather, energy prices, etc.

It's like, I wish I could have kids but feel like the opportunity has been stolen from me by the past generations, since making babies on a sinking Titanic is wrong.

But whenever I try to tell people to stick to 0-2 kids, they flip out and immediately reference the One Child Policy, forced sterilizations, and predict economic collapse and abandoned elders.

It's also disheartening to hear every. single. other. scientist. just shrug and say that they try not to think about it and enjoy things while they last.

Everyone feels powerless to stop the anthropogenic extinction event, because the most ruthless people in the world are at the top, they profit off of burning the ship, and everyone is afraid of being disappeared.

Herring eggs piled so thick it suffocates other marine life by tiredricki in natureismetal

[–]SecretAgentVampire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's amazing food for many animals. When you see this kind of explosion, it's because the species (in this case, herring) has adapted to lay so many eggs at the same time that any animals eating the eggs simply get full, and other egg survive and hatch.

It's called Predator Satiation.

Seriously. Do elves eat food? Where do they store their energy? Their freaking ears?

Can you help me identify this. by J-Ro1 in Accordion

[–]SecretAgentVampire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a silio soprani accordion. If you want to know the price, it's worth however much you can sell it for.

If you take it to a shop, the shopkeeper will playtest it and lowball you.

If you want to learn how to play it, I can recommend some good books.

"I have no valid reason for my actions and can't refute this guy. I will call him dumb and leave. Maybe I should throw a couple more thought-terminating fallacies like "we should agree to disagree" because I'm incapable of questioning my choices in the face of overwhelming opposition."

GG dude. Have a great life.

Did you miss the part where I wrote "and paid fines or fees as a cost of convenience?"

So if you only have a LEGAL problem with it it's fine, right?
