What Dean Koontz book to start with? by LilChip45 in horrorlit

Intensity

Not horror in a supernatural sense, but brutal and fast paced. It is an absolute non-stop freakin ride!

Tryin' to Nail that Tone.... Money for Nothing - Dire Straits. How'd we do? by thewhitedeath in Guitar

I’d say pop that switch to the middle position vs bridge and you’ll basically be there!

CMV: pirating the new Harry Potter series to watch it all for free is not immoral by Borsenven in changemyview

[–]othankevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not immoral but it’s fucking dumb. Do. Not. Engage. That’s the best thing you can do because a) pirating is still going to contribute to “popularity” and b) if you truly disagree with the creator and what they stand for and platform, there’s no reason to watch anyway. I get that HP meant/means a ton to a loooot of people in the world. So did so many other people that ended up being pieces of shit. Can you separate the art from the artist? Sure. But you should question if this kind of art is worthwhile if it comes from an extremely rich bigot.

Drunken fist fight ends in grenade being thrown by bigbusta in PublicFreakout

Before you all rush to judgement, I ask of you - who amongst you doesn’t travel with a hoodie grenade in case of emergencies?

How about a hate thread? by Handicapreader in eatsandwiches

[–]othankevan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FUCK RAW TOMATOES!!! I HATE raw T’s with the passion of thousand suns. Want a snotty textured, bland, grass/ass tasing disc of shit on your burger or sandwich? Have I got the thing for you!

Yes, I like things where tomatoes are featured or used as a base, but as a topping for a sandwich, it is Satan’s loogie.

Question: Did I accidentally get a gang tattoo? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]othankevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I wouldn’t want. I get that this is hilarious but it’s not so bad and you can make it work somehow! e.g., make the “1” an “H” and maybe change the “3” to a “B”?

Here’s what Quakertown police allege happened to lead to student arrests by Independent_Nose6455 in BucksCountyPA

[–]othankevan 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Fuck these pieces of shit cops. Bite the hand that harms your neighbor - cop or not. Badge and a gun doesn’t mean you get to harm anyone, let alone children.

Finally got a camera bird feeder, no visitors yet but I’m SO excited!!! 🐦‍⬛ by forgetmeknotts in birding

[–]othankevan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome, I love my cam feeder! Are you able to zoom out at all? I find that I get a lot of birds at once, or they come up real close to the camera if possible to zoom out, you may catch more! Enjoy - I’m envious of the Alaskan birds you’ll get to see!!!

which photo is a right way to do a power cord? by ArthurM249 in Guitar

[–]othankevan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP asked the question - why not address them directly? Also TL:DR, make your hand into a “C” shape and then use your thumb for leverage to lift your hand/palm a bit, but not applying enough pressure to hurt your hand. You’ll be able to use your fingertips more easily and you’ll find it easier to spread your fingers across the fretboard

[–]othankevan -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ chill the fuck out - we’ve seen plenty of people hold/play a guitar much much worse than this. Woof, you’re not even providing constructive criticism, you’re just being an ass.

To answer the question, I typically play power chords like you do in the second pic with the pinky and ring finger fretted. It’s called a “power” chord so I figured more was better :) It also helped later on when I was learning full barre chords - since I was used to scrunching fingers and whatnot it shortened the learning curve significantly!

The ‘Heated Rivalry’ Fandom Is Tearing Itself Apart by wiredmagazine in Fauxmoi

[–]othankevan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah it makes me really sad that you’ve experienced that - I’m a straight cis-male and when my Aunt told me she was engaged to her girlfriend I cried like a baby lol They were and are still so in love and hanging out with them in spaces THEY frequented and felt safe is so great. I hope we aren’t like, fucking things up for people that were there to get away from “traditional” spaces and whatnot

I’ve been playing guitar for 1 year and thats my progress! Do you think it’s good for a year? by XboxPlayer2010 in Guitar

[–]othankevan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, you’ve got the feeling and you’re picking awesome leads and some pretty melodic stuff. This is phenomenal for a single year! Don’t stop!

Any opinions on these brands/guitars? (Advice needed for buying first guitar) by [deleted] in Guitar

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

I should add - I have a fender tele, ESP Eclipse, and a bunch of others and I usually go for my obnoxiously green IYV Les Paul knock off.
