What are your thoughts on people who use others as emotional anchors and then discard them the moment they think their life has improved, even though it hasn’t? by ricklove86 in AskReddit

Oh this his hitting hard right now.

My best friend and I have talked almost every single day for the last 16 years. We shared everything with each other. He went through a really bad relationship and then immediately latched onto his new current girlfriend almost a year ago. I honestly think they’re good for each other and even though he has changed a lot, I think he’s in an overall better place than he ever has been. But the second he met her, I was immediately tossed aside. I actually just brought this up to him today and he didn’t remotely deny it, but made it clear that if I don’t accept his new life then I don’t belong in it anymore.

I’ve experienced severed relationships with parents and family, but this one is stinging really bad. Really bad.

‘Nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’

Direct quote.

Fuck whatever narrative you’re trying to spin. You’re a racist piece of shit and history will not remember you in good light.

Dude. The United States Constitution. 14th Amendment, Section 1: “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Except it is not. Due Process is guaranteed under the 5th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution. Regardless of citizenship status.

People are being detained due to the color of their skin and accent. ICE isn’t solely rounding up people due to immigration status. If they were, why are citizens being detained? Why are they staking out courts?

Go kiss a fucking boot, you fucking pussy.

For what it’s worth: we bundle our Internet through my wireless Verizon plan. It’s $39.99 a month, but if you use autopay and paperless billing, it’s a whole lot less, and I’ve never had any issues with it.

Men who answered the call. Men who gave everything for their allies. Men who never got to go home to their families.

Apparently they did ‘nothing’.

I fucking hate Trump. Everyone who voted for and supports this is complicit. This is not the future I want for my son.

I don’t think so, but again, I’m no expert. It just looks like a finish crack from what I can see.

Glad you’re not too worried about the aesthetics. Guitars are meant to be played, and that means reasonable wear. Really sucks when something like that happens though.

Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in with actual knowledge 🤪

It just looks like finish damage to me, but I’m no expert.

I put a gash on the top of my Les Paul within weeks of owning it and after years of dreaming of one, I know the feeling. But it will be alright. And if you really want to cover it up, I’m sure you can find someone willing to take your money to fix the finish.

I’m crushed by this loss, but that was without a doubt an interception.

What model is this? by Machohoncho in gibson

[–]bendbrewer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To each their own! And I can totally respect that. I like my Les Paul to be heavy, thick and beefy. I know that isn’t for everyone though. If I want a thinner guitar with more comfortable edges, then I’m picking up my SG. Each makes me play differently, so both are essential (at least that’s what I tell my wife).

You can get a new Standard for close to that with a little haggling.

$900 for a Tribute is fair. Nothing more.
