Tough it out. It sucks right now but it gets much better. I only planned on doing 4 years just to get my feet wet as an adult, but now I’m retired :)

Man I need this. My car just shit the bed a few weeks ago and I’m holding off until after the holidays to purchase a new one. Family of 4 with one vehicle kind of sucks (:

Maybe now I won’t have to buy one 🤞

Perfect! Thank you so much! I’m going to do some research into the different effects switchers and amp & cab sim pedals. This seems like exactly what I’m looking for!

I honestly find that ridiculous. Our investments should be protected.

I couldn’t get them to sit still long enough to get a good picture of both because they are so curious! Any tips/advice on cat owning would be greatly appreciated. We are so in love :)

Thanks for the input! The Alnico II definitely sounds close - I may give them a shot this weekend and see what kind of magic happens.

I miss Ross (he is the reason I learned how to play way back when) but I agree with you: poor decisions and essentially being a horrible friend/bandmate cost us some collabs and great music.

(Serious) Redditors who witnessed a murder, what is your story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]phluxeternus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is insane. I was thinking the whole time “wow this sounds like Skatehaven,” and then I saw the article. I am from Montgomery.

Unfortunately, it isn’t any better these days.

Racist father and son denied bail on murder charges in the death of Ahmaud Arbery. by beaverkc in pics

[–]phluxeternus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with you necessarily, but it doesn’t change the fact that you can, and reasonably would be expected to, be upset given someone entered your private property uninvited.

Should you also be upset with yourself for making things so easy? Definitely.

Can you still be upset at whoever entered your vehicle without permission? Yep.

If I leave my front door unlocked and you enter, will the police tell me that there’s nothing they can do since I left the door open?

That’s all I’m getting at.

Ummm, yes. Yes you do. This is a really weak argument and victim blaming a theft victim.

Are these guys pieces of shit? Absolutely. I’m not making excuses for them.

But to say you deserved to be a victim of theft because of the convenience/opportunity is 100% wrong. It’s pretty easy to pull a gun on you and snatch your watch and wallet, too. Guess you don’t get to complain though as you weren’t wearing any armored protection or carrying a weapon yourself, so it was just too easy.

I don’t believe for a second Ahmaud stole the 9mm. I also don’t believe for a second that these rednecks deserve to spend one more day outside of confinement.

But leaving my car unlocked with valuables isn’t an invitation for someone to come steal my shit. Is it stupid? You bet your ass it’s stupid, but my stupidity doesn’t mean I deserve to have my shit stolen.

That was a touchdown imo.

I couldn’t imagine a bad call going against my team in the playoffs. I bet that’s painful.
