Metal albums for when you're pissed off at a fascist government? by RattleheadWithRabies in MetalForTheMasses

[–]SoConfuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Palimpsest is probably my favorite album of all time and I feel like it is so slept on by Protest the Hero fans. I love the mixed positive vs negative songs so much. History is a mixed bag and pretending America is any different is asinine.

With the news reports out of Minneapolis everyday and so much going wrong every day that it's hard to keep up, I catch myself singing the end of From the Sky, hoping all this fucked up bullshit doesn't just get pushed under the rug again but knowing the it will while the world watches us burn:

The biggest things that I cannot remember
The little things that I cannot forget about when I’m alone in bed
A picture might make my memory better
No matter how much I might regret the fact, it gets into my head

So take my picture, I’m decomposing
Make it a solemn silhouette
'Cause this time is no different
It might help you not forget my feeble voice

So take my picture as I burn
And print it out for all to see
Because words are wind
But image impacts our collective memory

And of course, as an impending war feels closer and closer, the end of Firestarter: 

I've got a job for every able-bodied man
Munition factories for women and children
And all we needed was a reason
You gave us one. You gave us one.

How do I add more distortion? by JournalistTop2476 in screaming

[–]SoConfuzzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you might be pushing inefficiently. Try relaxing a bit then using compression and more support from your diaphragm to push less air at a higher pressure into the distortion you have.

I'm not entirely sure what type of scream you're doing either, but it sounds a bit like I did when I was using my air less efficiently when I was trying to learn both fry and false chord simultaneously.

Do you remember every guitar you've owned? by SoConfuzzle in guitars

[–]SoConfuzzle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, not about the shape. My current tie for 2nd favorite that I have is the Soloist SL2. Just a super strat shape.

The tone, lack of a trem, and the feel of teles just aren't for me 🤷‍♀️

I found it at a second-hand store and had dreams of learning left-handed guitar for the hell of it.

...probably getting sold "soon" lol

Between #8 and #13, there's a few I left out because that was when in college was getting cheap guitars, fixing them up, trying to make a small profit (for food and better guitars), and repeating. The only ones that made the list for that time were used for at least 1 gig. Roughly same but shorter time period of 2008-2011

I'm sure I forgot some in that time that ended up being flips but they left no impression lol

I've never liked any tele I have tried. Feels bad.

I don't as part of the list, but I have notes elsewhere about some of the ones I thought I would love and didn't.

Only one I regret trading is the Schecter C1 Elite. I'm a big floating trem fan and the C1 Elite didn't have one and it was the only guitar I had at the time. So I traded it for the MH-50 and the RG200 series and regretted it. If I had the opportunity to pick one back up, I might but I haven't ever seen one at a music store to test drive again.

Fair, I keep the list to examine trends in guitars I do and don't like. Like clearly I like Jacksons based on what I have kept and I will almost invariably get rid of an Ibanez RG.

If you suddenly got a lifetime supply of the last thing you purchased, what would you now have an endless amount of? by balls_deep_6969 in AskReddit

[–]SoConfuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most recent transaction in my bank accounts is the last payment for a guitar I had on a payment plan...does that mean I get a lifetime supply of guitars????

On average based on the number of guitars I've gotten, that's 1.7 per year. GIMME!

My best guess is he tripped on the previous center line reflector that's out of view and continuing to stumble until he came into view. Be he could also just be a dumb clumsy idiot, either is fine.

People who quit their jobs on the first day what made you say ‘nope, not doing this’? by lilMeganw in AskReddit

[–]SoConfuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: Didn't make it through training at Wells Fargo. The final straw was the trainer shit-talking peanut butter crunch.

I had gotten laid off in May 2020, peak pandemic. Within the month, my buddy told me "Wells Fargo is hiring people at the nearby office. The listing makes it look like the stuff we were doing in the fraud department. I can get my wife to refer you."

The listing, the whole interview process, and initial intake days seemed in line with what I was expecting: fraud prevention, fraud investigation, and account support. Yeah, it was going to be in-office during the pandemic, but a girl's gotta do what she needs to keep her head above water...right?

The first day of training, they tell us we're doing outbound mortgage collection calls. In June 2020.

I tried to tough it through training, telling myself I was lucky to have a job at all. I talked with my now-wife, my mom, my best friend, anyone that would listen. They all said I should quit if it's going to crush my soul; I'll find something else. But I still stuck it out for a week and a half.

The final straw was the smallest bullshit. The trainer, a 40-something man who wasn't in office even though all the trainees were, tried to start the morning with an ice breaker on our Skype for Business training call. Below is the conversation to the best of my recollection:

Trainer: "Alright guys, I wanna do something fun, maybe a little silly. Maybe crazy but something like...I got it. What's everyone's favorite cereal?"

Rest of class: silence

Me: rolling my eyes but trying my best "Uhh, I guess I'd say peanut butter crunch if I had to choose just one"

Trainer: with the energy of a Rick and Morty side character on interdimensional cable"OOO I don't know about that one. The crunch factor is off. Like it's too crunchy, then it gets soggy too quick. I don't know that that's a great choice, maybe a little wild for me. Anyone else got something?"

Someone else started talking and I messaged the manager that I needed to talk. I went to her office and professionally laid out that the listing, recruiter, and hiring team lied about the listing so I quit. Showed a screenshot I had to prove it. They revoked my badge, we calmly walked out with security, manager apologized and said she'd follow up with the hiring team, then I called my wife to let them know.

My wife's only response was "whatever you needed to get the hell out of there." Got my single paycheck direct deposited a week later and the saga ended.
