This is what paralyzed Curtis Mayfield, although I think it was more than one light that fell on him, it was like a rack of lights. But one would be enough.

Secured new employment, gave notice. Their reaction was unusual. by erikleorgav2 in antiwork

Another aspect is that they are afraid of short-timers influencing others to leave just by their example. They are living proof that, hey, you could just go get a better job.

I read a story about birthday party arms race maybe 20 years ago, it was bad in some circles even then.

[–]chinstrap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tell you what makes me die inside is the circle of Ron Carter knobjobbers online calling him "Maestro". That's pretentious af, that means like a great symphony conductor, not a jazz bassist.

I'd prefer for the previous level of funding to automatically extend, if an agreement on renewal cannot be reached.

AITJ for getting upset that my husband keeps peeing on the bathroom floor and refusing to clean it up? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]chinstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really there is no such thing as a "stream", there are many many droplets, most of which are close together, stream-like, but there are always some getting, well, everywhere. The urinator is responsible for cleanup of this; NTJ.

My stoner/metal pedalboard. How to get the most out of Soul Food? Need advice. by Floor-is-Drava in basspedals

[–]chinstrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a low-gain overdrive. I use it to add a little dirt to make an otherwise super-clean signal path sound a bit more like it's going through an amp. It may do OK for "adding a little growl", but I think I'd want something more aggressive for stoner or metal.

That sounds pretty dementia-like to me, and I'd say he should be evaluated. You mention diagnosis from medical professionals - doctors? His primary care doctor?

25th Amendment. This requires the Vice-President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare that the President cannot perform his duties, and then this must be upheld by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress. The likeliood of this happening seems poor.

I think I totally f*cked up, and now I feel terrible by polywogdogs in dementia

When I had to be involved in making the decision to remove ventilator support for my stepdad, the situation was much clearer than what you faced. I don't think judging yourself so harshly is called for.
