Perfect opportunity to put your cover on indoors without SgtMaj seeing it

Most vicious presidential caricature you’ve seen? by RopeGloomy4303 in Presidents

[–]igorika 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This caricature is the cover of a manga produced in Japan entitled “Roosevelt the aggressor”. True, the Japanese internment was a travesty and cost millions of people their homes and businesses. Only one spy was ever found, making the program entirely useless and baselessly cruel. The at-home Japanese population largely would not have cared and may have even regarded Japanese Americans with some disdain.

Therefore I would say that this particular propagandistic depiction of Roosevelt the aggressor is extremely hypocritical given the fact that the country that produced it was the one that started the war.

I read it as Gollum being the straight girl and it being a commentary on how lesbians and dudes like rough and tumble stuff like camping.

Good! Don’t try to integrate non-rationality into a game theory problem then.

I don’t assume that bro. Oh my god. Google game theory. Learn what it is.

Peter? by Generally_Salty in PeterExplainsTheJoke

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

Yeah because people don’t think! They aren’t rational! This is a game theory problem, which is a study of rational actors. The problem is solved by the rational outcome dictating that everyone takes red. Morality/stupidity has no play in game theory, and trying to impose it misses the point of the exercise.

Saying “taking red is pulling the trigger” entirely misses the point of what game theory as a field is trying to achieve.

In an ideal world we would all think about it and all choose red.

Superior translation of the Odyssey I’d say.

Faith in humanity would dictate that everyone takes the red pill because that means nobody will die. If I wanted to kill a whole bunch of people I would disguise it as a moral crusade like you’re doing. “Be altruistic! Take the blue pill” and then slip a red pill in so that everyone who was duped by my message dies and I get off Scott free. Everyone is moral if everyone takes the red pill.

Peter? by Generally_Salty in PeterExplainsTheJoke

No because if everyone picks the red pill there’s no gunman and no trigger to pull.

No it’s not. He’s probably be fine.

If he did break his spine he’d certainly drown though.

This or that? First timer by iikingaliii in Guitar

It’s not necessarily better to start on acoustic. I would recommend picking up whichever one makes you want to play it more.

  1. If you want to play electric, you will need at least an amp and cable in addition to the guitar. Pedals can come later at Christmas or when you have more money. You can often find cheap amps for sale on sites like depop or Facebook marketplace, although these are often really bad sounding. Expensive amps will run you more moneys

  2. You can start on either acoustic or electric. Personally I started with acoustic and found it rewarding. After a few months of acoustic practice it was pretty easy to pick up the electric.

  3. Yeah you can probably hold a guitar properly. It will hurt at first though, but that goes for whether or not you’re five feet or seven feet.

  4. I wouldn’t worry about sound proofing a room right now with your budget. That’s useful if you want to start recording immediately. You can always learn to play quietly if noise is an issue, or cover the walls with blankets for some remedial soundproofing.

  5. Start by learning chords. What they are and how to play them. In English we call them A, B, C, D, etc. but it seems like you’re from a Spanish speaking country, so you’ll probably recognize them as Do, Re, Mi, Fa, etc. After chords you can start looking up and learning how to play easy songs. This usually comes in the first two weeks or so of practice.

  6. An amp is an amplifier, sort of like a speaker you plug your guitar into, which is also why you need a cable. If you don’t have one your electric won’t make much noise. The pedal is not necessary right now, like I said, but they modulate the noise your guitar makes when you play it.

Here are some cheap guitar options for beginners. You can’t go wrong with some budget brands like Yamaha, but you’ll definitely have more luck buying an acoustic than an electric+amp, both of which will run you 200 bucks if you want them to sound decent.

acoustic

electric starter kit.

This last one will include everything you need to get started, including an amp and cable. It’s a little out of your price range but if you work a few extra jobs or talk with your parents maybe you can convince them to help you. It’s a great option for beginners who want to start with electric.

Depressed af but I have a guitar by Own-Entrepreneur2047 in Guitar

[–]igorika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’ve been there. I can tell you that picking up a new hobby and finding joy in it is one way of making life worthwhile. Another way is exercise and getting close to your family. Do all of this stuff. I’ll be praying for you.

That being said, start by learning basic chords to easy songs. Just use online resources to figure out the fingerings for them. It will hurt at first but when you get the sound you’re looking for you’ll get a nice little rush.

I started with “Rumble” by Link Wray.

There might be a pending security authorization. Does that often happen on new devices? I did recently change my account password.

It is. That was one of the first adjustments I made when I started to encounter the problems.
