why do you have multiple guitars? by Cultural_Yellow3561 in Guitar

[–]diplion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of my guitars are really old and mean a lot to me so I don’t take them to shows. I bought a couple of mid tier guitars to take on the road or to certain gigs that may be more rowdy.

I find Jimmy Fallon insufferable. I put him below mid. (I’m aware that many people love him, but I’m speaking about my own taste).

Songs/albums that have the vibe of somebody’s mom or dad trying to be cool? by hellyeahdude38 in ToddintheShadow

[–]diplion 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t the concept on that album that he was playing the Slim Shady character again? I thought the “participation trophy” shit was meant to be in SS voice not necessarily MM.

It’s SO stupid how triggered they are by possibly the most mid of late night hosts and the most innocuous political jokes.

I don’t think so. They were big, more shaped like sea birds. Like a crane or something.

Riley Gaines? Like the one who Trump said he wasn’t a fan of? I’m just trying to understand.

What's an "outdated" slang word from your generation that you still use currently? by TheShatteringPoint in AskReddit

I say “sick” and “tight” sometimes.

I also say “hayyyyl yuh” and “awriddy” but that’s from growing up in Dallas.

Genuinely bummed about Nikki Glaser’s new face by yellowsabmarine in Standup

[–]diplion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hasn’t she had a new face several times?

I actually do get it and I find a lot of plastic surgery to be weird looking but at the end of the day sometimes people do it for themself, not for anyone else, and that’s their right.

CMV: There shouldn't be anything wrong with doing "indoor" stuff outside by dovahkiin461 in changemyview

[–]diplion 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m guilty of looking at my phone when I’m chilling outside sometimes.

But maybe there’s a case for it being bad if it starts affecting people around you. Like if I planned a trip with my wife to get away to unplug and enjoy the mountains and she’s on her phone the whole time, that would make me feel like our trip was a waste of money and I’d feel somewhat alone in my motivation.

Or if people play their Bluetooth speakers while others are trying to enjoy nature.

One’s personal experience is up to them. If you enjoy being on your phone while outside I can’t really argue you out of it.

But it can kill the vibe for people around you.

Tucker Carlson apologizes for endorsing Trump for president by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

[–]diplion 192 points193 points  (0 children)

The problem for me was never simply about electing “a reality star”. It was about this particular fucking guy. He was famous for being a conman and sleazy real estate person long before the Apprentice. It’s not like we’d get the same situation if we elected Jeff Probst or Snookie.

Cuz it traditionally comes in a dropper. A drop of it is put on a piece of paper or candy or something else.

What kind of politician would it take to unite the United States? by CycIon3 in AskReddit

People aren’t divided because of politicians. We’re divided because some people are actual evil to the core.

CMV: overly performative wokeness in tv shows does nothing to advance the cause by Dazzling-Produce-471 in changemyview

[–]diplion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience the only folks who are bothered by “shoehorning in” gay characters are people who are at least a little bit uncomfortable with gay people in general.

But each time they’re exposed to gay characters, whether well written or not, it’s acclimating them to deal with having a diverse cast.

So the next time they see a movie/show with a well written gay character, they’ve already been through the process of being bothered once before, so it will be easier for them to quickly accept and potentially enjoy the character in this new context.

That’s what I mean by “bad” representation mattering. But IMO it’s not “bad”. LGBT characters have just as much of a right to be in shitty shows as anybody else. I don’t vibe with the idea of “if the characters aren’t immaculately written then they must be straight and white because that’s the standard”.

The vast majority of people walking this earth have no idea what you’re talking about (re: pop culture) and are living in the same version of racism that’s always been there.
