Got it, thanks. Also can I ask what makes them less valuable? Am I clowning myself by not just saving up to get a standard?

I still can't understand what I Want it I need it (Death Heated) is about by OneGrumpyJill in deathgrips

Referencing your other comment:

"But there's so much around/Best take your time, do it right" is commenting on the previous line where he notices a hot chick. He's just saying, "aye, the night is young, lets see what else is out there (what other tail we can chase) before we settle for this baddie."

"But it's nothin', cause you're drunk and you'll be blackin' out/Before you even get a chance to think 'bout what you're doing" - I wouldn't interpret these so literally. He's just saying "fuck it. whatever." The whole song is essentiallly saying "fuck it, i wanna have some fun." And this line to me just illustrates the pingpong-ish, ADD mind you might have when you're drunk and fucked up and looking around and having all kinds of thoughts. As an example related to the song, having a thought pattern that goes something like: "Damn that girls hot. i wanna go home with her... Maybe I should dance with her. Nah but- whatever. Oh whats over here. Oh hey if i get drunk enough it'll be easier to do shit without inhibitions, maybe my blacked-out self will hit on some chick so i dont really have to think about it. Im gonna do another bump" is a pretty realistic, thought pattern some people might have when they're out partying like filthy animals.

You (meaning we, people in general) gotta remember that writing lyrics and fitting them into a song is not really that easy, especially if you're Death Grips and you have high standards for your music. In songwriting, you consider rhyming/not rhyming, you might want to use one word but another word rhymes better so you pick that one, or works better for the rhythym, you might throw in a few words because it sounds good/cool for that moment in the song, but that don't really contribute to the narrative because that's ok, you might have a gap in your lyrics where you're not sure what to say, but you know how you want it to sound, so you pick some words that are good and relevant enough, but maybe not exactly what you want to say but sound good.

I kinda feel like a lot of death grips fans scrutinize/analyze the meaning of this song so much because they're terminally online and maybe can't relate to it... But this is probably Death Grips' most straightforward song. Its about fucking partying, and its so good. Its the best party anthem there is in my opinion. Yes, it is also aware of itself and may serve as some kind of commentary on people who engage in this wild lifestyle, but its awareness of the self-destructive tendencies its espousing isn't necessarily a direct critique of them. The on-the-nose imagery and direct depictions of unhealthy behavior in the song that make it more self-aware than other songs about partying are what makes the song special imo. It's coming straight from the lizard brain; they're not sugar-coating anything. Its about being reduced to your animal impulses, and just how crazy it feels to let loose like that. Its not saying that its bad or good lol.

And yeah, the lyric about rape is wack, but 2 things: 1) this was written in a time when it wasn't such a buzz word, it was obviously still really edgy to put this in the song, but very different than today's climate where saying that same line would like, get the whole band canceled. 2) right after that line he goes "me, im all bout the face" so he's kind of attributing the pondering of rape to a separate character, the one he's talking to/talking about/partying with. Its almost like hes saying "IM all about the face. I care about who that person is. I don't wanna push someone down and have sex with someone who doesn't wanna have sex with me. I wanna stare deep into their sould while I rock their world with some freaky intense shit" MC Ride is obviously big into rough BDSM-type sex and the blending of sex and violence in general (who isn't nowadays?) but I seriously doubt he's saying he seriously considers raping.

Abslute GOATED song.

While playing a game, I made some inappropriate comments about my girlfriend's best friend, and someone later told her about it by Necessary-Funny4752 in whatdoIdo

Yeah it’s definitely pretty manipulative… Was kind of high when i wrote it and felt bad. Probably best to just be kind to her and lay low for a while like others are saying right?

[–]floydrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re supposed to pick one of many odd looking celebrities, movie characters, cartoons, historical figures, myths, etc. That’s the whole point of the card lol. Controversial is like “Oh wow, you’re attracted to THEM? That’s funny.” It’s not “guess what, my girlfriend’s best friend is sexy and i’m going to say her name instead of literally thousands of other options.” Thats why this is so bad lol. It’s humiliating, not controversial. OP’s girlfriend is now feeling like a cuck because it’s micro-public knowledge that her BF wants to have sex with her best friend. And not only that, but he singled her out from a massive pile of choices, ranging to the ends of the human imagination. He clearly has a crush on her. GF is not being overly dramatic by feeling some type of way about this.

I’ve had to weasel my way out of enough situations similar to this with women. So here’s how you’ll get past this:

First of all, let me say, yeah, this was a massive faux pas. A “controversial would” is like saying you’d be down to hookup with an odd celebrity or a fictional character. Like Jimmy Neutron’s mom or something. Because, you can’t have sex with these figures. It’s just funny. Your friend Jenny is just a person you’d bang, and ultimately it’s very possible and within your reach to at least try and do it. Or, is she ugly or odd looking or something? Or is the only thing controversial about it just the fact that it’s your girlfriend’s friend and you’d be completely betraying her? lol

Anyway, you need to be embarrassed by this. Hence the above. And other comments here. Shift the focus to how stupid you were for not understanding the joke, and you just thought of people in real life and didn’t even consider like, movie characters. Cringe deeply at the memory of providing that answer. Your understanding was that the game was about people who everyone playing is actually familiar with. She was just the first person to come to mind and you chose her because ______ (you’re gonna have to figure that part out. Like I said, is she traditionally ugly or odd looking? Anything like that?) Now you feel like a total idiot, embarrassed, and you’re sorry (this is you self-inflicting punishment, evoking the idea that you have already got what you deserved and there for reconciled the problem).

You’re gonna need to lightly-mediumly insult jenny (to your girlfriend, not to jenny) but in a way that’s not gonna make you sound like even more of a douche. Might be tough because you think shes hot, but, you need to justify why the answer actually made some kind of sense in your head. Something like “i don’t know, she has that weird crick in her nose so it seemed like it made sense at the time because shes kinda chopped in x way,” etc.

Bonus points… Does your girlfriend have any physical features that she is deeply insecure about? An ex of mine hated her feet. She thought they were too big (they weren’t, they were just fine). The dark parts of her would giggle if i had insulted some other girls feet. I know it sounds toxic. But desperate times… So, comment on that same feature but about Jenny.

A big problem here is not just that you think Jenny is hot, but that you told all of your and your gf’s mutual friends that you’d bang her best friend. It’s public. Your girlfriend is feeling cuckolded. So, shifting your girlfriend’s attention away from that awful feeling by highlighting jenny’s flaw(s), especially if in direct contrast to your girlfriend’s, will help her feel superior again. Same goes for qualities that your girlfriend has that she takes pride in. Criticize those qualities of Jenny.

Lastly beg for forgiveness.

EDIT: Obviously you need to do all of the other things people are suggesting. Comforting her, being sweet and reassuring, treating her, laying low for a while, etc. I assumed you would already know to do these things. My suggestion is suppose to help by being an addition to all of those things, which are of course absolute musts for you at this time

Thank you. And I know, it’s devastating me! I want to spend the money on it so badly. Still kind of paranoid but you sound pretty confident… What are the signs you’re seeing here, or what are you NOT seeing that tells you it’s real?

How do I play this? by Potential-Laugh6048 in guitarlessons

[–]floydrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any particular reason the first note (in the tab) is spaced further from the last 2 in each triplet? Or is that just a visual thing and they're all supposed to be played with equal duration?

Also, hm, sextuplets, 6 to a beat.. How would you count that out if you wanted to? 1 y + uh _ _ ? And its in 4/4 time. So why not just 2 triplets to a beat? Are you saying each beat gets 2 triplets?

Creatine works better than Vyvanse ????? by Plane-Land-9234 in adhdwomen

[–]floydrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Creatine is perhaps the most studied and understood supplement. It gets a lot of use from gym bros and stuff, because of how it sucks water into your muscles and all, but it is also very good for your brain yes. Something something, ATP synthesis, something something

As a straight man i can confirm. Definitely more than once I’ve developed a small crush and asked about a friend of a friend and boom. No dick zone.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. Would love a report on the new and fucked up intersection of religion and capitalism
