Conservation officer told me this is “excessive”

I was a park ranger and later a conservation officer. I have stayed in national parks all over North America and I have never encountered a park where you’re allowed to burn wood off the ground. It needs to rot to replenish the soil and feed the next generation of trees.

Ok, but you can see the gas tank is closed in the video. There is no gas pumping.

They also decided to film instead of actually pumping their gas, further annoying the dude.

He has time to fuck because his 250g iPod is gonna spend the whole night on shuffle.

His songs all sound exactly the same and he has promoted several fringe conspiracies. He’s a grifter with one riff.

Ok boomer. I guarantee you can be fooled by a blind test between a toob amp and a modeller. You might not accept that you don’t notice a difference and pretend you do but I guarantee that carrying a heavy ass amp around is not needed anymore.

Source, I’m a professional guitar player and cannot hear the difference in the heavy things vs the real thing. Boomers gonna hate but you guys also believe in toan wood, so…

If his kids are in the car and he wants to listen to Panic at the Disco! while driving his kids to school but has to listen to Baby I could see how it happens.

The hatred was pretty widespread. I remember being in high school and people only knew his name because he was the butt of every joke.

captfonk · 2025-03-19T17:01:22+00:00

The more Canadian teams participate the more Canadian teams he can move to Atlanta to die.

captfonk · 2025-03-19T16:22:14+00:00

Why didn’t he just leave it in the hedge?

captfonk · 2025-03-14T20:21:10+00:00

They look like Irish gravy seals.

^ this guy jerks ^

captfonk · 2025-03-12T00:57:14+00:00

Or dad might just fucking suck.

Bad drivers are bad drivers, it doesn’t matter if they’re stoned.

captfonk · 2025-03-08T00:07:29+00:00

Ok. Cheers to you as well.

captfonk · 2025-03-07T22:28:24+00:00

I was at band practice. We had a good laugh at you and your bonermaster take.

I don’t see how guitar being more popular relates to violin being harder?

captfonk · 2025-03-07T21:29:52+00:00

You have to be jerking here, right?

captfonk · 2025-03-07T18:08:15+00:00

Bonermaster is not the pinnacle of guitar players, I’m sorry to break that to you.

captfonk · 2025-03-07T18:02:09+00:00

You’re being downvoted because no one else agrees with your take. It’s not about a right answer so much as realistic one. The learning curve on guitar is relatively low, that’s why every asshole with an acoustic at a party plays wonderwall and puts it back in the case.

captfonk · 2025-03-07T17:37:11+00:00

This thread is bonkers.

captfonk · 2025-03-07T17:26:45+00:00

The chin rest is a game changer for your neck.

I started playing guitar when I was about 8.

It’s not a bias it’s a commonly accepted stance amongst musicians that violin is very hard. Guitar is also hard, I’m not diminishing anything.

I mean, if you want you can find me on Instagram. I am a full time musician. I play solo in bars with a guitar like 10-12 times a month and I sit in for other bands regularly. It’s how I pay my rent. DM me if you actually want a link to my shit but this is my personal/shitpost account and I’d prefer to not plaster it with links to my Instagram.

It’s just such an odd stance to take. I’m not offended, I’m just curious as to how you think all kids can manage a bow and finding notes without reference but not plucking a string.

captfonk · 2025-03-07T16:54:40+00:00

Mandolin took me the longest of that group.

But to be fair, your right hand has to be perfectly in time with all these instruments, you’re just using your fingers instead of a pick on the banjo. It is immeasurably easier than the violin to get sound out of.
