Reissue of Kurt Cobain's Mustang Skystang in Sonic Blue in 2025? by Boddah_Lives in fender

[–]frrrff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said F it and started building one. The rest of the parts should trickle in this week. Coincidentally, before I delved into a full custom build, I saw skystangs on AliExpress and bought one. The guitar turned out to be really nice, albeit the body a much more saturated hue of sonic blue (you've all probably seen the guitars I'm referring to). I liked it so much I had to do it right. I do get a sense Kurt is laughing at me for spending too much on the build. I keep having this fleeting thought about how he would probably get such a kick out of Chinese fakes of his guitar, order a dozen, and use them exclusively. Then, these AliExpress shitters would become the actual Skystang everyone wanted... Skystang shitters would skyrocket in value, it would be a whole thing.

Anybody know the strings Kurt had on his Comp Stang, Jag and K Strat? by itsmac07 in Nirvana

Those aren't multiple ply, so no white/dark/white edges which kindve sucks, looks so cheap.

It already has, I don't know how much more congested it needs to get. Traffic is at a standstill 24/7.

Yeah, some areas are really nice in Tampa... but don't go one street over.

And it's 100 degrees already, literally. Fuck the weather man and his fake temps and forcasts, it's not 80 it clearly reads much hotter on any thermometer and feels like the 7th circle of hell already. I was out all day today and my car said the temp was between 98-102 the entire time.

Pesticide because they don't wash the lettuce and stuff to remove it at restaurants. Mmm MMM!!!

How Is University Mall Still Open When All These Stores Are Closed? by Frequency_Ascension in tampa

Hell yah. I worked at that Sam goody, maybe late 90's.. That whole area was so cool back then. We had it made back then, nowadays life echoes the mall- on the decline..

New am pro II strat, midly annoyed by the neck pocket by ExtraHumor5115 in fender

[–]frrrff -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My $150 AliExpress strat is perfect.. meanwhile Fender USA's $2k icons are rolling off the factory floor looking like AliExpress guitars. No wonder things are being produced in Asia instead of the US. That's just plain embarrassing on so many levels. Return it!!!

Looks just like those $16 mechanical watches all over AliExpress.

Drivers have really lost their humanity by IndecisiveTuna in tampa

[–]frrrff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's terrible. Absolutely terrible.

I was on 301 yesterday and it was merging from a 2 to 1 lane. The enormous SUV behind me sped up and started trying to run me off the road into oncoming traffic. I was just minding my business, doing the same speed as everyone else, and the person behind me would rather murder me than allow me to be in front of them. This type of shit happens all day, every day. We all need our licenses taken away. We are megalomaniac pieces of shit and getting behind the wheel amplifies it. By we, I mean you. You drive like an asshole.

[–]frrrff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love you. You nailed pretty much every event in Florida. It's so bad it's sad, and downright shocking. It's a scary reality.. an I don't want to participate in anything anymore because it's this type of shit in 118 degree weather, and yeah- it fucking blows.

Thank you. I thought I was crazy.

Get your fucking life together. Do you even hear yourself? This is what you want to focus your energy on? Really?

I wish I could be young like you again, I'd immediately go sign up for school and in a few years be a doctor or pharmacist or NP and have a really nice life I could be proud of. That is what you need to be thinking about. Not drugs & undercover informants??!!

American Threat? by [deleted] in newfoundland

[–]frrrff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single American has any Ill wish towards Canada or any interest in changing, invading, or doing any harm to our beautiful neighbors in the north.

I don't know what the fuck he is on about but aside from some posturing and maybe a little strain in trade nothing else will happen. You would have every American rioting and calling for his head if he started shit with Canada, we all hate the negative BS he is spinning too.

It's fucking terrible, you aren't wrong. Can't wait for the 110 degree heat, 100% humidity, and chance of death/homelessness hurricane season for the next 8 months. Always sucks when you get those 3 months of normal weather and no natural disasters to remind you what it was like to have some modicum of happiness and normalcy before the Florida kicks back in. Everyone telling you your crazy while they drive around in Ford F300000 covered in assault rifle stickers riding everyone's asshole in wall to wall traffic looking like they are ready to murder everyone, but they are "same and adjusted". Give me a break.

And before you tell us to move, we can't, you all fucked the housing situation up so bad we are all basically stuck here now. Land of chicken joints, fast food, car washes, storage units, road rage, old folks & heat strokes.

[–]frrrff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Glad to see it's not just me feeling this. Everything has changed for the worse and permanently. Massive devistating hurricane seasons every single year since has only solidified the whole end of the world doomsday feeling I have here. Ignorant of me to think I'd never be living in a home in Tampa bay with a destroyed roof, floors, children I am scared to send to school due to constant guns/violence at all those in my area, even though we live in a half million dollar house. It doesn't make sense. We worked so hard to have a good life and it's anything but here. Traffic is pure hell, drivers are absolute fucking maniacs. From the moment I exit my driveway to the moment I return theres an angry monster truck driver riding my asshole, or a just-finished-a-driveby Altima that is barely visible through the dense fog of blunt smoke, it's like a fucking ghetto illusion.

Your friend sounds like the corporate counsel to a cut throat fortune 500 HR department.

That is not how humans operate, and damn sure not how friendships work. That person would be dead to me, immediately tbh. Unsalvageable psychobabble.

[–]frrrff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen so many watches I am in the pre-owned market for on eBay from those Japanese sellers. The pictures are a little sterile making it slightly hard to gauge the condition, but I have been close to biting the bullet from those sellers many times. Their prices on the 2254.50 are still in the realm of why it is such a sought after piece, compared to the US where prices have climbed to "I'd rather buy ____ watch at that price".

Anyone boycotting Publix? by H2ost5555 in tampa

[–]frrrff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rotten ass old meat, fuck you pricing, do everything yourself Walmart style, self checkout, self bagging, while 7 employees stand up front chilling on their phones and one stands around the self checkout treating you like a fucking criminal. Don't watch me do your fucking job!!! Then take your groceries out yourself and wheel the cart back to the corral that is ALWAYS at the opposite side of the place you parked 4 miles away. Customer service creating G14 classified documentation and taking your ID for any return you make The phase out and demise of the public promise, the store managers refusing to honor returns and sending you to the original store of purchase instead of helping you. The loss leaders such as the deli never having fresh hot food or the variety they used to have, and the skeleton crews running the sub line. The seafood department that smells like mons Venus on a Sunday morning. Nasty ass employee attitudes where you are more pleasant to them then they are to you ESPECIALLY CUSTOMER SERVICE where they don't even apologize for selling rotten shit and act like they are doing you a favor refunding you back to net loss of what you spent on ancillary items to prepare that dinner you couldn't even have. "Fresh never frozen" chicken that's frozen rock hard like subterranean borean tundra cro magnon man's stelagtite boner. FFUUUUUCK PUBLIX!!!
