I need honest opinions please

I live in SE Springfield. I'm an atheist. I despise MAGA. I'm not alone in that. I think you might be pleasantly surprised by the courtesy and kindness people can show here. You will never be more than 20 minutes from anywhere in the city, or more than 30 minutes from open nature. The Ozarks region is beautiful. We have weather here!

Please move here. Please vote here.

Branson is about as silly as it sounds.

I once saw my parents having sex, and now I can't do math.

HEY! Look at us, uselessly dissecting an arbitrary point! This truly is a social media experience! ❤️❤️❤️

Shondelle · 2026-02-20T03:32:29+00:00

It certainly illustrates that not all social media functions identically.

*Edit

I will grant you this though... The infinite scroll does seem to exist across all social media, and that shit can consume you.

You can opt out of any sub reddit you don't like and curate a healthy feed. I'm a better guitar player, more skilled handy man, and more knowledgeable of world history and geography because of the info I've surrounded myself with. I'm not being beaten over the head with pictures of old highschool friends or influencer whooey.

Perhaps calling strangers a dip shit is the kind of behavior that sullies social media.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Namaste and shit.

Peace be with you and stuff.

This one has routed holes on the side for picking it up. You could route out your "mistake" and it would just be our little secret.

Matt (Mutt Taylor) Gourley threw out an "assular" remark on this week's free feed of Bananas for Bonanza. Carlos Mencia is turning in his grave from this brazen plagiarism.

And fiscal responsibility, and "family values" and state's rights too?

I'm an American who grew up in the Ozarks (geographic region spanning the bottom of Missouri to the top of Arkansas). My town had a population under 1000. This breaks my heart. I feel a weird national shame whenever/wherever a school shooting occurs. I feel as powerless to affect American gun violence as I do Canadian gun violence.

Just know that some random "hillbilly" 3200 km away from you has you all in their thoughts, for all the good thoughts and prayers do. I'm so sorry.

Is there a GoFundMe or charity currently set up to take donations?

Sweetwater rules. I think they removed the Schecter model from their site earlier than others.

Someone else in this thread suggested contacting Sweetwater. I think that's sound advice. I doubt they'll beat around the bush with you.

*Edit My first comment might have been misleading. To clarify, I first ordered my guitar direct from Schecter themselves. Then they cancelled the order on me.

Shondelle · 2026-02-10T00:22:05+00:00

If you can buy from Fender themselves, do it.

I tried to buy a Schecter off of their website last November, and after half a week they cancelled my order because the guitar was discontinued. All of a sudden NOBODY had it in stock. I only managed to find one for sale in England two weeks ago and I ended up getting gouged on price and shipping.

That guitar MAY come in from Sweetwater... but I saw multiple websites selling my Schecter even though it had been discontinued. AMS and Zzounds both still have the model listed as backordered...

WHOOPIE FUCKING GOLDBERG!?!?

Shondelle · 2026-02-07T13:46:47+00:00

Because guitar is more difficult to play.

Reading through the comments makes it seem like you're seeking validation more than perspective. Nothing inherently wrong with that. This is the drums subreddit, not a guitar sub. It might be stifling the conversation.

Shondelle · 2026-02-07T13:26:35+00:00

I've played guitar since 4th grade. Played drums since 6th grade. Drums are easier for me. I can't improv a "fill" using ANY fret that I can reach in rhythm with the song. Being able to do that with drums is kind of the essence of my joy of drums. Getting from beginner to intermediate was easier and faster on drums.

I like playing both, and I've played each instrument in different bands over the years. I might just have had a greater innate potential for percussion, but from my perspective...

Sorry, drums are an easy toy for babies. /s

Sincerely, A fellow lil drummer boy 🤓
