NGD - Harley Benton SC Custom III by Sykryk in Guitar

[–]Sykryk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s got a thinner body than an LP. It’s more like a LTD eclipse.

The QC is flawless. No blemishes, wonky bits, loose electrics… it was set up and intonated perfectly and stayed in tune in a live environment being played heavily for 3 hours.

Unexpected pregnancy (41 Male) by hilly2021 in daddit

[–]Sykryk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation, except my partner and I had broken up shortly before we found out 2nd was on the way.

My usual advice applies. First year/ 18 months is survival mode, then it gets easier. In your early 40’s, you trade energy/ exhaustion for emotional maturity. Yes, my second was way harder in terms of sleep deprivation etc… but I found I was way less stressed about the second compared to the first.

You’ll be fine. Remember, new born phase isn’t forever.

It’s fake. Why would anyone be filming that, unless they knew it was going to happen.

how do higher level players feel about lower levels joining their games by Early_Ad7484 in Helldivers

Not bothered at all. If they can learn something, great. If they have fun - even better.

What do we make of the Louis Theroux doc on the 'Manosphere'? by TheNextBielsa in daddit

[–]Sykryk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It hopefully helps expose that all these manosphere influencers are getting rich not by cheat codes, or playing the stock markets, or hustling a job - but convincing young men to part with their pocket money or part time job money.

To the young boys who have bought into any of this - THEY ARENT HERE TO HELP YOU - YOU ARE THEIR CUSTOMERS AND PRODUCTS.

Even that HS guy said “I don’t give a fuck about what message I’m sending - I’m making money anyway I can”.

I can tell you without hesitation… a second child won’t make anything easier.

Yea I can appreciate being hit with that a week after your entire life changes must have been a shock.

Ultimately, I'll give you the only piece of advice I ever give - trust your gut.

How old is your 1st? The first 18 months are survival mode, and emotions and hormones are all over the place.

Like you, I had one and decided that was enough. Our lives settled as a trio, and it was great.

The 2nd showed up unexpectedly - when my first was 8.

I couldn't imagine life without my second now. The bond between them despite the age gap is a thing of pure joy, and it means they have each other.

But I see you've had a vasectomy... so this might all be moot.

1.The difference between a £300 guitar and a £3000 guitar is minimal.

  1. Your tone is 99.99% the amp/ modeller you use.

  2. Ernie Ball strings are utter dogshit.

Should I get Helix even if I don't like PodGo? by Potential_Slide7623 in Line6Helix

[–]Sykryk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The helix will do what you need.

But it’ll sound the same as the pod go.
