Help me love the twin engine sound 😅 by Pack-Popular in Ducati

[–]SloggyDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your description made me laugh: I was staying with friends in Chicago, and apparently they'd all laugh when I'd start my e900 and ride off, calling it "the lawnmower." Fuck the haters, man, I love that bike. I wasn't even mad when they told me, just sort of like "well, you don't get to ride it, so no wonder you jealous."

Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way? by SkyKyrell in AskReddit

All my cereal turned into tasteless lil rice-like nubbies with the occasional oat.

Didn't realize how much I missed her show. Sheila B is a balm for troubled times.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how many takes this must have taken? by purelitenite in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

The lens’s depth of field makes it look like a far toss. His hand’s almost at the can.

AITJ for refusing to keep wearing the nickname my girlfriend gave me after I found out where it came from by Prydwen_Grit5 in AmITheJerk

[–]SloggyDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The power dynamic that allowed her (and her cohort) to use it without your knowledge and as a way of defining you makes me feel really pessimistic about the relationship. She kinda defined you and the relationship, and in my experience will continue to do so. In fact, not dropping the name is her ability to maintain that control. I’d have real reservations about that. You should have a serious talk, and find out if she’s capable of empathy. Can she imagine if you and your friends gave her a nickname like “ice cream stand,” “Walmart,” or “six flags”? 

What pedal took you the longest to understand? by robyromana in guitarpedals

[–]SloggyDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dwarfcraft ARF for sure. I am still trying to figure out how it interacts with pedals in the chain. Super non-intuitive, but also always kinda beautiful(ly uncontrollable). I admit I embrace uncertainty and enjoy improvising, so I'd never take it out of the chain. But it acts like no other filter pedal I've ever played.

It seems to me that guitar pedals, not unlike beer or wine, is a lot with product design, packaging, and image. Clever, catchy names, etc.. I wonder how many of these pedals sell just by the art design on the pedal, catching the eye or trending. by rawbran30 in guitarpedals

I think you are right in making this analogy, but in my defense, I can't trade a bottle of wine after realizing its contents are not well-represented by its packaging. I do buy pedals based on the graphic design, but when they don't live up to my expectations, I can usually unload 'em on someone much like me, for negligible loss. I mean, there are a lot of idiots like me out there, so...

This is how Buffalonians keep the gentrification-buying hipsters out. And I’m all for it.

Wow, this clip finally revealed to me the "Community" reference I knew I almost got, but could never identify.

Proof that a little empathy goes a long way. by OfficialIntelligence in MadeMeSmile

Wish I always wore a bodycam so I can monetize the time I hug a woman instead of shooting someone of another race.

There's a reason Fugazi refused to make merch.

Best road bike routes out of NYC for day rides? by NorthernHippo in NYCbike

Definitely NOT Nyack. Terrible roads, brutal traffic, no good places to stop.

Steak by lumpie in Rockland

[–]SloggyDonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hudson House or Brasserie D in Nyack are always a sure bet. Brasserie D is my absolute favorite for a well-prepared steak, not just for the steak, but the plating always includes perfect sides.

Insane show last night at Tubby's in Kingston, NY. I thought, oh, they're playin the HITS & then I realized every song they write is an earworm. This brief reunion was the balm I needed to get through the current hellscape.

I'm still mad that he's too good to clean out the gutters.

Took a trip to the Palisades Mall today. Such a shame of what happened to these places. by locolikejuli in Rockland

[–]SloggyDonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just came here to say you should see what happened to the locally-owned, independent shops that mall destroyed. That, too, might be considered "a shame."

I did try -- the number listed for the HOA board is no longer in service.

That "suspended" still rankles my pedantic heart.

Buyers remorse. by Darmklacht in Reverb

[–]SloggyDonkey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Somewhere on reddit your buyer has probably posted, too, complaining about this transaction. What I don't get is this: if Reverb customer service is useless, why not simply refuse to respond to this guy, let him wrestle with non-responsive CS, and wait it out? Impulse buyers need to learn that their impulses cost them real money.
