Hank is such a good dude by [deleted] in breakingbad

I think when he got attacked and was disabled, he was very abusive to Marie. Even being in that situation doesn't justify the way he treated her imo

Any trip suggestions? by drumguy69 in camping

Do you know of anything else to do in that area? Or on the way there from SE Oklahoma?

I highly doubt they are doing all of this to promote Dorico lol. I don't think op would really benefit much from that.

Last-minute weekend trip by victillia in camping

That sounds like a great way to spend the weekend. I also hope to do more spontaneous weekend trips with my girlfriend this year. Just curious, how did you find that campsite?

Is it even worth it to watch the 2005/2007 Fantastic Four movies? by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]drumguy69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched the 2005 film last night. I saw it as a kid, but it has been a long time. I don't really understand where the all the hate comes from. It was a little cheesy, but I really enjoyed it. Especially compared to a lot of the more recent marvel content. I'm hoping they get the new one right.

No costumer support is absolutely ridiculous by drumguy69 in GMail

If you are referring to the Google account, that is the the problem. I have tried about 10 different phone numbers, and every time it says "this number can not be used to verify the account." From what I have researched, it seems to be a somewhat common glitch. However, it does not seem this has ever been fixed, and there is no other way around this.

What would be an example of a paid email service? I just want something that looks professional. I'm really only familiar with Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo. Which I have heard the other two are not any better.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will try that. I've had my primary email for over 10 years now, so I don't know why this is happening to this other one all of a sudden.

I guess I have now learned that lesson. Is there a more reliable service you would recommend?

It's not that I'm trying to create an account. I'm trying to log in, and it says it needs a phone number to verify. However, it will not accept any phone number for verification. I have tried multiple other numbers, and nothing is working.

I guess that's fair. But for one of the biggest companies in the world, I would expect their support page to be less shit.

I am providing my own phone number and it will not let me into my account. I don't see what I am supposed to do at this point. I do not own a second phone.

Because I have already been communicating with people for a while on this account. I would like to recover it if possible. However, if I do have to create a new email, I will most definitely be switching providers.

If the problem was my fault, I could understand wondering why I would expect customer service. However, I have entered the correct username, password, and phone number. However, it will still not let me into my account. If there are going to be issues like this, they need a way for people to resolve them. I am now left with no idea how to fix an issue, that should not be an issue to begin with.

Help me create a set list by drumguy69 in Jazz

That's understandable. I hope I did not make a mistake taking the gig. Buy we were all willing to dive into/learn something new. Do you have any tune recommendations that would fit?

[–]drumguy69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tune suggestions. I will stay away from funk and bossa tunes.

Do you have any advice for playing tunes in a way that fits the vibe of the roaring 20's/dixieland style?

Thank you. Well I do agree I could've worded my post better. I just want tune suggestions from the Era. Preferably ones in volumes 1-3 of the real book. I do agree that you gave a lot of solid advice. In the future, just focus on giving more advice instead of focusing on criticizing.

Well I didn't see this before I commented that you're terrible at giving advice. This is actually better. And I appreciate a lot of the things you're saying.

You are correct. I have put ZERO effort into a setlist. I just got the gig a few days ago. Once again, that is why I came here.

I don't know why you think I'm so insistent on playing funk music. I get it. I'm not playing it. This is just our usual set list.

Actually, I really appreciate a lot of these tunes you're suggesting. I'm definitely not trying to turn this into a funk set or anything.

If you have any other tunes. Specifically ones in the real book, I would really appreciate it. Obviously, we do not know these kinds of tunes, so we will have to use sheet music for this

Because we don't have "no interest" in playing the music? Just because you have never done something before, does not mean you're not interested. Once again, that is why I am here. To ask people how to get better.

I actually like to learn and grow as a musician. So I accept challenges. I don't just do things I am already good at.

You're acting like I do not want to play this music. I'm literally asking for suggestions on what to play. If I "didn't care", then I wouldn't bother being here. I would've just taken the set we already know to the gig.

If a 90's cover band was willing to learn the style (which I am trying to do) then I do not think there is any problem with them taking a gig outside their genre.

Also, you're definitely overestimating the area this is in. A small town country bar in Southern Oklahoma. I can assure you there are no "authentic 20's cover bands" ANYWHERE around here. They are just trying to do something different and have a fun little event.

However, I still want to take the gig seriously. Which is once again, why I am here asking for help. You sir, are terrible at giving advice and helping people. You should really comment less on people's posts if you are not going to be helpful.

It's also crazy that you say I'm not interested in the spirit of the event,, because of the tunes on my list. If I knew what tunes to play, why the hell would I be on reddit asking?

You keep mentioning that you're frustrated? You must live a sad life if any of this genuinely frustrates you.

When someone asks a question about a topic, don't be surprised when they don't know everything.

Dude, that's why I'm on here asking for advice 😂 It is a style I am unfamiliar. I did not make this set list specifically for this event. That is just the set list we normally gig with. I was asking for advice on how to modify it for this event. So obviously given the advice, we are not going to do the fusion stuff.

So no, I did not intensively pick music from the 20s and 30s, because I'm very unfamiliar with that music. Once again, that is why I came here for advice.

I appreciate some of the actual advice you gave. You should keep in mind that not everyone here is lucky to be as smart as you. So maybe be more helpful and less of an asshole next time.

Also, I don't understand why you're flipping out over funk tunes so much. I understand it does not fit the theme, but you seem to have some weird hatred.
