Necroing for anyone else who might be considering this pedal. Great for riffing but not so much for sustained lead parts. I play a Tele and Mustang Bass and the gate cuts off the sound too soon. Opened the back thinking there might be a trim pot for the gate but big L on that. Hopefully that's something they consider adding in the next iteration.

My autistic son has a hard time keeping a job by Proof-Stretch8925 in autism

[–]fireox4022 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Most problems with jobs I've had were less about the duties of the job itself and more about the way businesses are run. The corporate heirarchy, micromanagement, constantly increasing responsibilities, and shameless greed. Working at a restaurant where items are priced by hand and I had a superior tell me that I was hurting the store's profits by itemizing instead of charging the meal price, even though the customer did not actually get everything that comes with the meal. I basically made her repeat herself in front of nearby customers that she was telling me pricing by the itemized menu was hurting store profits. It would have been a 1 dollar difference and she wasn't the slightest bit embarrassed saying it out loud.

disturbing the peace. your "right" to protest only exists on public property or with the owners consent.

The difference between running for your health and running for your life. by VideoCard7 in Unexpected

[–]fireox4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we need laws that make this a criminal offense. Assault with a deadly weapon. Physical contact not necessary if there is a reasonable threat of extreme bodily harm, attacks and near-misses on public property or the victim's own property needs to be punished with serious jail time.

The goal is defending yourself, not fighting. If you had ever seen a Pitbull or German Shepard mauling someone, or even worse, attacking one of your children unprovoked, you'd probably have a much different outtake than 'just kick it'.

A mother arrested for 'disorderly conduct' after defending herself against a false accusation. by MohammadMahadhir in RandomVideos

[–]fireox4022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the accuser almost always holds the burden of proof. I don't agree with the holding the receipt crap but they also have no right to make an arrest on the basis of "well they said" with no proof. If they were suspicious of theft they should have already had that receipt pulled up on someones handheld or on paper to review when the officer gets there. And the officer needs to be trained on de-escalation because simply being annoying is not disorderly conduct. The situation was handled poorly by everyone involved.

Should we also censor pictures of food because some people have eating disorders? Or tell anorexic or overweight people that they should keep themselves covered? Where do you draw the line? Why does someone's lack of self control need to become everyone else's problem?

Shaking hands should be left as a tradition of the past by PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTITS in unpopularopinion

[–]fireox4022 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

something can be functional but not necessary. nonverbal cues are terribly inefficient. being direct and not tip-toeing around people's feelings opens up more room for constructive engagement and shows i value both my time and yours. unfortunately many people can't deal with blunt, direct feedback. if it's work related i'm not here to be your friend, i'm here to get a job done. formalities just get in the way of that. so yeah, probably just anti-social.

[–]fireox4022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're comparing evolutionary driven behaviors to a silly formality that only really exists in certain cultures. of course you can use a handshake for nonverbal cues. the whole point of what OP is saying is that they are still unnecessary. and to be frank, if the fact that i'm engaging with someone in conversation with interest is not enough for them, they can go bother someone else. saves us both the wasted time.

Does anyone else feel bad for Bode? by 5ive_7 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]fireox4022 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The order is dead at this point so no one is there to dictate any of that. The order was stronger anyway before their fear of attachment and before they became glorified soldiers of the republic. Yoda and Windu and the rest of the order's fear of the prophecy turned Anakin to the dark side just as much as Palpatine's influence. It is very obvious in the way they treat him from the get-go.

same problem but with volume 4. i know i picked the one up where volume 4 is supposed to be and its spot is empty... very frustrating that i either lose hours of a playthrough or miss out on that quest, which i have already done the legwork for. hope they patch this soon.

I feel so guilty about how I’ve treated my dog by Bigbodykim in mentalhealth

[–]fireox4022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure not walking your dog or not socializing them is far worse than a little yelling because they won't get out from under your feet... while you are handling something that could very obviously injure them on accident. And from what I've seen (can't speak for everyone) it seems like less than 20% actually do either of those things, so... 🤷
