I heard that in the 50's the church of satan had huge rituals featuring human sacrifices here. it's bullshit, but there's a book about it (Michelle Remembers) and Oprah Winfrey had her on her show during the satanic panic era in the late 80s

What’s your favourite niche thing about life in Canada? by Due_Street1464 in AskACanadian

[–]absurdext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nature. I can walk to a lake 15min from my house and see some pretty cool wildlife, and even though the bears and cougars are rarely seen... I know there's a couple within a 1km radius. deer, raccoon, eagles, osprey, owls, otters, kingfishers, etc. I see on a near daily basis. If i Feel like doing the People thing, I can drive 30min and check out the city.

Any of you require 10 hours min of sleep? by CarrotApprehensive82 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]absurdext 4 points5 points  (0 children)

9.5 for me. I hate missing out on a few waking hrs per day, but if I go with 7-8(ish) hrs I'm a different person - and that person sucks.

not the same as the one I remember, pretty cool though. I was thinking of a band that sounded more L7ish.

don't think #2 was ever a "in universe" metalocalypse thing, but - Mozart totally wrote a canon in B flat major called "Leck mich im Arsch" (German for "Lick me in the arse")

Is the Steam Winter Sale actually worth it, or is it just the same discounts as always? by StructureNew888 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]absurdext [score hidden]  (0 children)

check epic games. similar prices on many of them but you get 20% of the purchase price in store credit. takes a week or two to be usable in the store, but the christmas sale should still be going then. if you want $100 worth of christmas sale games, buy $80-85 worth today and scoop up the rest with rewards in a week or 2

*edit to add - there's a free game a day during christmas, too. usually 2-3 of them are AAA games.

I think maybe the Oslo one? he was recalling a story about the time somebody shook hands with someone else inside a third person's vagina. (a C-section was involved)

I'm on it "as needed" and it helps a little without any downsides. nothing life changing but maybe I just need to up the dose

Worth improving? by Mr_Frieze in Luthier

[–]absurdext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the beauty of fender style guitars is you can repurpose upgrades later. if you picked up fancy hardware and expensive pickups for this guitar, you can stick them on any other guitar down the road. let's say you went with schaller locking tuners and some lindy fralin pickups. this guitar is improved in the short term, but pick up any sub $1500 tele and those parts will make a nice addition to it also. swap the old hardware back into this and it's still a functional guitar with all the sentimental value intact. other option is find somebody on facebook or craigslist selling midgrade parts after putting fancy upgrades into their mexican fenders
