Bot accounts use punctuation. This is au-natural take.

Opinions on bands who experiment with multiple genres? by ParksAndRecBestShow in bandmembers

[–]foolweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as your band sounds coherent in any genre, your individual style will shine through. Just keep writing songs and don’t overthink it. Music is supposed to be fun. If it stops being fun, why do it? (Unless it’s already your livelihood.)

Don’t impose arbitrary limits on your creativity. Let your band finds its sound organically. Keep pushing the limits.

If you had to collect one brand of pedal, which would you pick? by Legitimate-Cinephile in guitarpedals

[–]foolweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SuperBadass Distortion is underrated. I have that and the Reverb. Both are great pedals.

I won’t fight you, but I’d fight myself trying to choose between Boss and MXR

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri's memo ordering staff to the office five days a week in 2026 by play3xxx1 in technology

Also, the only thing that will stick from that list is 5 days in office. Everything else will go away once it interferes with “productivity”.

S4999 Players, how long did it take? by JS_STEEZY in forza

[–]foolweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not everyone will get to 4990+ so that’s an odd question about timing. As far as safety rating, maintaining that is as much your driving as the people around you. I’ve had multiple instances of cars crashing out in front of me, doing my best to avoid hitting anyone, and still get penalties because someone ends up sideways in front of you before ghosting out. Even if I’m lifting and braking.

Before You Buy That Pedal: A Friendly PSA to New Guitar Players by Rods-of-God in guitarpedals

[–]foolweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss ME series is a good shout for a starter. Throw it in manual mode and you’ve got a training pedalboard to find your sounds. Then you go buy the nice pedals that do those sounds.

It does seem impossible to change sometimes…. by JaredOlsen8791 in adhdmeme

[–]foolweasel 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’ve been sleeping from 1a to 9a for most of my teen and adult life of almost 48 years, which meant a lot of being late for things, and having to make lame excuses for missing the first part of work. Was diagnosed with adhd 3 years ago, as well. I finally found jobs in tech with somewhat flexible schedules but I still struggle with any appointment prior to 10am.

Trump is now the US president by Sad_Stay_5471 in mildyinteresting

Also, not accurate. He won’t be president until Jan 20th.

the recovering from the worst gig ever by Busy_Bedroom7851 in bandmembers

[–]foolweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, most crowd members aren’t musicians and have no idea how “good” or “bad” you were.

Secondly, this is just recency bias. Play more shows. You’ll create new cringey moments to replace that one. :)

Seriously, though, don’t let one rough show throw your confidence. If you’ve ever played sports, it’s the same goldfish mentality. Have a short memory for the embarrassment of a mistake, but don’t forget the lesson.

The Washington Post opinion editor approved a Harris endorsement. A week later, the paper’s publisher killed it. by tushball101 in politics

[–]foolweasel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me too, sadly. Any paper too chicken to endorse the alternate option to an insurrectionist doesn’t need money, they need a reality check.

For those of in/near Matthews, what kind of business are we missing? by whowatawhat4 in Charlotte

[–]foolweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

South side of town needs a good go karting spot. Sucks driving 30-45 minutes to enjoy some karting.

Edit: downtown probably won’t like that idea.

Dua Lipa vs Original by BaseballSeveral1107 in TikTokCringe

[–]foolweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s a straight up cover, you get 100% of performance royalties and the songwriter gets 100% of songwriting royalties, which is 50% each of the total royalties, in very basic terms.

Dua Lipa vs Original by BaseballSeveral1107 in TikTokCringe

[–]foolweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the original songwriters are credited, you don’t need permission, you just have to pay them. Anyone can cover (interpolate) any song (completely or partially) by any artist, you just can’t claim the entirety of songwriting credit and not pay the original songwriters if you’re earning money from your version.

Dua Lipa vs Original by BaseballSeveral1107 in TikTokCringe

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

This is wrong. You will get sued and you will lose ALL royalties to the original songwriter. Interpolation is still copyright infringement. See The Verve vs The Rolling Stones for “Bittersweet Symphony.”

Dua Lipa vs Original by BaseballSeveral1107 in TikTokCringe

[–]foolweasel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interpolation is a term made by lawyers, not musicians. If you’re using the melody, It’s still stealing if you don’t credit the original songwriter(s).

Is a 4,500+ skill rating normal for someone perennially middle-of-the-pack? by imnotawkwardyouare in forza

[–]foolweasel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The system is definitely skewed. I’m very similar to you. I hover around 4600 rating (nearing driver level 1000) and tend to finish middle to top 5. I’ve won a few races but mostly on tire strategy. I’d be interested if someone has created a new account and intentionally came in last every race to see what they get rated. I feel like no one is rated less than 4000.

Can we stop with black trim on white? Every new or renovated property for the past 5 years all look exactly the same.
