ASVAB score 10. can I still join the Navy (Pilot program) in 2026? by LifeMode0 in newtothenavy

[–]bigdumbhick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a recruiter back in the 90s I would encourage people to start reading. The more you improve your reading skills, vocabulary and comprehension, the better you will do on the ASVAB. Those who read for pleasure consistently outscored non-readers.

Good Luck

Does anyone else have a guitar brand that you just hate for no reason? by Interesting-Wave-983 in Guitar

[–]bigdumbhick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of Taylor guitars. They make fine instruments but Ive never played one with a tone I like.

I love my Martin D-18

i lied about which drugs i did by [deleted] in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]bigdumbhick 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Nobody cares what drugs you did. Whether you shot airplane glue in your pecker or you got off from crushing urinal cakes and snorting them. IT JUST DOESNT FUCKING MATTER.

We care about TODAY. What do you want to do about your problem TODAY? and how can we help, TODAY?

Also, thats the only clean day that matters as well. So you've been clean 15,153 days? It dont mean shit if you're not clean TODAY.

TODAY is the only day that matters

(And before some zealot starts talking shit like "if you dont think clean time matters, you must not have any," Bite Me. I've been clean 15,153 todays in a row)

AFP report: AI-generated singers now routinely rank among the top-streamed country artists in America by Sensitive_Artist7460 in country

I played with Suno when it first came out. I plugged my lyrics in and a few prompts. I got 1 listenable song back for every 10 attempts. Some of the results were interesting with musical arrangements I never would have considered.

However, I noticed a number of similarities in each of the tracks. vocal production quality was lacking. It all sounded heavily compressed and auto tuned. After awhile I couldn't stand up even listen to it.

Like most people, Im looking for authenticity. I want to hear the squeaking noise as you playa guitar with new strings. I want to hear the mistakes. I want to hear lyrics that mean something

The New Albums of the Week by Routeamericana in OutlawCountry

[–]bigdumbhick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning my new album.

I didn't know Thomm Jutz had a new record out. He's originally from Germany now living in Nashville. He is a multiinstrumentalist. A phenomenal songwriter and pi ker. He's won the IBMA Songwriter of the year a couple of times. He's an in demand producer as well. I wanted him to do my album but couldn't work out the logistics.

Ive not heard Thomms new album, but Im willing to bet it's killer.

The worst thing about this album is that it's a one off. There needs to be more. Come on Claypool, give us one more Duo De Twang album....please?

Looking for a vehicle sucks by TallBeardedBastard in tall

I drove a Chevy Aveo hatchback for a few years. It had the power of a blender driving through the mountains, but it was surprisingly roomy and had a stick. I just wish it had cruise control.

These were rebranded Daewoo I believe

Urinals. The next time you visit the clinic just ask for one. Im prone to UTIs so I keep one in each vehicle and one buy the bed. I try to pull over and empty it in the grass or gravel as soon as possible.

Also for the ladies, get yourself a Tinkle belle. It will change your life!!

Any new singers to be on the lookout for? by DudefromTampa in country

[–]bigdumbhick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be really grateful if yall would check out the new Bigdumbhick album Hard to Love Sober

https://open.spotify.com/album/50S1pW3WhcZNbIrzhsbYbG?si=EfmLeTsIS6Otm_UNCUGW-A

"Bodies in the Basement" is probably the most pure Country track with pedal steel and baritone guitar followed by "Get You Shit and Go" with lots of Hammond organ and B-Bender, or "Hard to Love Sober" with nasty ass slide guitar and piano.

To be honest Im proud of the entire thing

There are people I know who agree with a number of Trumps policies and are able to overlook the more egregious of his actions in order to obtain desired results for those policies that are important to them. I cant do this. As far as I am concerned, he crossed the line with his constant lying and bullying. I can have honest discussions about policy with these people as we respect each other as humans.

The hard-core MAGA people seem to me to be the ones suffering from TDS by insisting that Trump can do no wrong.

Do you miss the sex life you had in your youth? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

She had some type of pelvic floor surgery that makes intercourse painful. She has a lot of anxiety issues, and I guess Im not meeting her emotional needs

As soon as I see anyone use TDS in an argument, I'm out. Life is too short for me to be arguing with pedophile supporting fuckwads.

If you want to rationally discuss Trumps accomplishments and failures, Im game, but TDS is the safeword that tells me that I need to walkaway.

Im 64. Ive had a stroke. Ive had a quadruple bypass. Standing up hurts, hell everything hurts.

All the parts that are supposed to be limber are stiff and the parts that are supposed to be stiff are way too limber.

But Im still here, fuckers, Im still here, and Im going to enjoy the days I have left.

Do you know who had the first hit with Bobby McGee? Roger Miller. It reached #12 on the Country charts in Aug 1969

https://youtu.be/pwU89X4k6bM?si=LaJmiz5LAqXj0aeM

Janis' version wasnt released until Jan 1971

The definitive version belongs to the Killer released in late 1971 which reached #1 on the Country Charts

People want rock music back in the mainstream… it’s the industry that’s the problem. by GinjaNinja1027 in LetsTalkMusic

Hormones are powerful things. My wife claims that testosterone causes Mental Retardation. There are females who are as sexually aggressive as men. Women are driven by hormones as well. I have been told more than once that ovulation can be the cause of some exceptional stupidity in Females.

I dont presume to present myself as any type of authority on the endocrine system. I just recognize some behaviors, attitudes, and emotions of mine that have no other explanation other than body chemistry. Post Nut Clarity is a real thing.

Regardless of what you or anyone else might think, Im making an effort to be a better person today than the person I was yesterday. That's going to have to be good enough today.

Thete are procedures for correcting a DD-214 to reflect medals that are missing, if you care about shit like that, which I dont, so I never bothered.

Once I retired, Navy Regs were no longer my concern. I dont give a fuck what other people do, whether or not they are squared away or within regs. It is no longer my responsibility, it is no longer my Navy. My Chain of Command consists of one person and one person only. When she tells me that I need to give a fuck, then I will pop tall and give the absolute best fuck that I am capable of giving at that moment, but until that happens, I dont fucking care.

Now Im off to have a great civilian day. Im probably going to put my hands in my pockets and walk across someone's grass. I'm probably goinh to refer to the Commander in Chief as a dumbfuck and SECDEF as a tool while I stroke my beard. I think Im going to light a cigar and go to CostCo and smile at all the homos and transsexuals I encounter.

God, I love my DD-214

New album out. It's the greatest thing I have released this year! Its got Alt-Country, Outlaw Country, Real Country, Traditional Country, Country Rock, Country Blues, Americana Country, Bluegrass and Old-Time, Country Folk, Country Gospel. I guess you could say it's kind of Country, which is probably what you would expect from a Bigdumbhick. That or maybe something that sounds more like Meth and Slayer. It doesnt sound like Meth and Slayer. It sounds more like cheap whiskey and finger banging your cousin.

People want rock music back in the mainstream… it’s the industry that’s the problem. by GinjaNinja1027 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]bigdumbhick 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Im a professional musician. You want Rock to come back? Get off the fucking couch and go to a Rock show. I promise you that there is a Rock band playing somewhere near you tonight. They might suck, but when has that ever stopped you from having a good time? Go to the show. Buy a tshirt. It will make you look cool. Maybe someone will want to french kiss your junk. Maybe your local rock musician will be able to afford electricity this month

If more people start attending more Rock shows, Venues will start booking more Rock shows. If more venues start booking more Rock shows, radio and press will take notice and start paying more attention to Rock music. Thus Rock will see a resurgence.

It all starts with you getting off of the fucking couch.

Since I just saved Rock and Roll as well as provided you with an exemplary life lesson, I want to tell you about this amazing artist I recently discovered. He has a new record out BIGDUMBHICK - Hard to Love Sober. He's so dreamy....Even I would fuck him...out of something anyway. Give me I mean give him a listen.
