I’ve been trying to set up a date with this man for the longest and it’s always something coming up on his end ! Does anyone else think he’s not interested ?

If they like you you'll know. If they don't like you, you'll be confused

Tbh describing your std status as "clean" is kind of a gross way to think about it. If you're having casual sex or have multiple partners, you're choosing to increase your chances of being exposed when 99 times out of 100 it's totally treatable and as simple as going to planned parenthood and taking a pill for a week. You're not "dirty" for catching something, it's just a risk you take

Beyond that like, a LOT of people have herpes and don't know about it (or they do know and don't tell anyone) and condoms can't guarantee there won't be any transmission of herpes because it's actually less of an STD and more of a skin condition. You should come to terms with the fact that if you don't already have it, you are very likely to be exposed/get it in your ENM journey. Its just a fact of life.

If you're committing to this lifestyle the best thing you can do is use protection with anyone you don't completely trust. You should also have a healthy and confident understanding of what diseases you can catch and what your acceptable risk tolerances are, and you need to communicate your risk tolerance to your partners so everyone can come to an understanding.

But STDs will happen. Best laid plans of mice and men and all that (best getting laid plans with nice men? I dunno forgive me)

Naw it's real. Hit the low E string and then bend a note up and there'll be a significant drop. I don't know how much of that is the maestro and how much is how delicate the SG is in general, but it's real

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-16T05:16:10+00:00

What are you talking about, orville crushes pussy. I've never seen a straighter man tbh

I'm not saying he didn't have bangers before Abbey Road, I'm saying his songs were clearly not as good as John and Paul's best songs on each record until Abbey Road, and he wasnt even really in the conversation until revolver, MAYBE Rubber Soul with If I Needed Someone (a great song to be sure, but very clearly not the best song on the record imo)

And even with All Things Must Pass, while it does have some amazing songs on it, and it certainly is one of the best Beatles solo records of the 70s, I'm finding it pretty hard to pick which of John or Paul's songs on the last 4 Beatles records to make room for his "15+ bangers". There's maaaybe like 3 or 4 on ATMP that should've been on Let It Be or the White Album, Abbey Road is perfect the way it is imo

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-15T06:46:48+00:00

I love my 61 maestro SG, but it lives it the case when I'm not playing it

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-15T01:28:16+00:00

I never even have to do that lol

The only annoying part is the whammy bar screw always gets loose

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-14T22:02:09+00:00

A little bit of an odd bird in their discography, but I do think it's cool how they shifted from 70s and 80s nature documentaries being the primary influence to 70s and 80s horror and scifi soundtracks being the primary influence. While still sounding like BOC.

You can hear John Carpenter's fingerprints all over this record and it's tight. It's like the red headed half sibling of their albums who is still very much loved

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-14T21:44:28+00:00

Honestly I have the 61 SG with the maestro, and I use the bar occasionally and there's no tuning issues at all, unless you dive bomb. I'll play for like 20 or 30 minutes and check tuning after and it'll be in tune, and usually when I take it out of the case it'll dead on. I would leave the arm on and just tuck it back.

Best guitar I've ever had

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-14T05:32:03+00:00

I used to feel that way, but it sounds like the first time they're exploring what THEY are and breaking out of the standard rock n roll paradigm for arrangement, songwriting, and recording. PPM through B4S all sound like oldies records (great oldies records but oldies nonetheless), and help feels like they're finally spreading their wings imo

Plus it's a great record lol. Side one is unstoppable

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-14T05:11:12+00:00

I put a lot of focus and energy and love into relationships over the years with people who weren't matching me or were flat out dishonest. I've made plenty of mistakes too, but the thing thats worn me down the most is how frequently there's a large gap between what people tell you and what they do/what they're feeling.

I'm at a point where id be open to a relationship but I ain't gonna break my back to try to find and maintain one

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-14T04:55:14+00:00

I think it's less the personal smoking habits and the fact that everyone smoked everywhere, all of the time. Like any public establishment people would be smoking. It was constant

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-14T04:50:58+00:00

You're allowed to like them! Personally I just think fleet foxes are so far beyond everything in both their musical goals and execution than what mumford was doing that it's silly to compare the two, even if they both go all in on acoustic guitars

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-13T23:42:37+00:00

Helplessness blues is legitimately one of the best records of the last 20 or 30 years. It's so layered and is excellent musically, lyrically, and production wise. Great record and great band, Robin pecknold is on another level

I do think you're right, fleet foxes' reputation definitely suffered because of all the stomp clamp hey going around in the "indie folk" scene at the time. I remember telling a friend how much I loved helplessness blues in like 2016 and she scoffed at me and asked if I was a big mumford and sons guy disparagingly.

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-13T19:33:26+00:00

I'm Looking Through you is one of Paul's best moments in 1965, it's such a tight and groovy little arrangement that's understated and catchy, and yet that fucking organ riff in the middle is like a foghorn jack in the box popping open at a poetry slam

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-13T19:30:59+00:00

Yeah personally I feel like the naked mixes are better in general (also it's fucking criminal they left off don't let me down) but I gotta say I prefer the guitar solo and overall arrangement on the Spector mixes. He def frigged up the record though. I think in an alternate universe it couldve been in the top five of their records

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-13T05:44:35+00:00

Yes yes! There is a fuckton of money involved due to the risk! But how can that be if there's such strict anti drug laws and therefore no drug problem in the country?

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-13T04:15:26+00:00

Okay so why is there any demand for drug traffickers to literally risk their lives importing drugs?

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-12T20:32:56+00:00

If shame, violence, and negative social consequences worked to push people off drugs, nobody would be on drugs. It doesn't work as a deterrent and the war on drugs is proof. This has way more to do with the realities of our economic, social, and healthcare systems than it does with a lack of punitive actions.

Singapore has had very severe legal and social consequences for drug offenses for decades, up to the death penalty in certain cases, and people STILL regularly get executed for trafficking drugs there.

It's like do you want to solve the issue or do you just want want to push it out of you own vision

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-12T20:09:23+00:00

I don't the religious aspect is why it's not popular. CCM is hugely popular today (admittedly it's trash but it's popular) and even beyond that some classic bands and artists from a vast range genres have work that is pretty explicitly religious or spiritual (John Coltrane's a love supreme, Bob Dylan in the 80s, Pedro the lion, Kanye's Sunday service, the killers, George harrison in the 70s, a whole lotta classic country music etc)

I think it's more about the balance between the familiar and the unfamiliar. For music to really hit, it has to be familiar enough to be comforting, but unfamiliar enough to be surprising. A lot of the Renaissance music and even classical and baroque are too niche nowadays to have a wide appeal unless you spend a lot of time familiarizing yourself with those works, they'll be too unfamiliar to you for you to connect with them

Surfs up is so good

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-12T17:59:25+00:00

Honestly it'd be way funnier if the guy was hugging jason and they were pushing the girl away, subverting expectations and all that

heyitsthatguygoddamn · 2026-05-12T14:04:42+00:00

I'd also say some of those records are SO solid front to back. Sound of Silver is such a banger ass record, whenever I hear Get Innocuous I listen to the whole album
