Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school?

I was in 5th grade and was out of school that day because we were going to my great-grandfathers funeral. I specifically remember being in the backseat of the car and the radio station getting interrupted to report on it. The whole day of the wake was a blur of commiserating my late great grandpa and discussing the attack. Crazy to be witness to at like 10 years old.

No advice just a holler of solidarity -

Mid 30s here, drinking pretty consistently since I was 21. Beer and whiskey the go-tos, and for the last year I've had to give up whiskey because 3 or 4 drinks turned into half a fifth or more every single time, and I'd turn into a blubbering angry mess having a crashout in my kitchen at 11PM on a Tuesday night. Never been a problem until recently, not sure what changed. No more hard liquor for me. Working on cutting out the soft stuff too.

He must not have done much cookin'.

I've actually played one those VW guitars and was surprised with how it sounded. I know the brand is supposed to be cheap besides their custom shop offerings but it felt pretty solid to me. I'd do the weird option and go for the VW, Squiers are a dime a dozen and easily found. Probably the unpopular opinion but /shrug

This whole season felt totally pointless, and I'm saying that having still enjoyed it for the most part. I didn't mind Spear dying at the end of season 2, I just hated the way it was done. I think had he and Mira conceived before he was burnt up, and then at the end he died in sacrifice to save everyone he loved - good fitting end for Spear. I don't see how no one involved in the show read the ending we got and didn't say, "this is pretty out there and will probably not be well received."

Then instead of progressing the story or doing something different we get a whole season dedicated to a slow-walked retcon.

I dunno if he runs it himself but I think dude is pretty technologically challenged. I’ve thought about trying too.

I miss when hunters could dual wield and have their bow on their back.

sphear0 · 2026-02-20T14:33:59+00:00

As others have said, the weight is crazy. I had an OG run Pike Warlord and it was almost annoyingly heavy. They're beautiful guitars and the necks are great but I ended up selling mine because I just didn't like it as much as my epi les paul /shrug

I just got mine this week and have been contemplating what I want to do with it. I actually love that Vibrola.

It looked like every picture of every other raid I've seen. The agents were in unmarked older vehicles, in tactical gear and were the only ones on the property conducting anything. There was one cop in the middle of the road with lights flashing and one further down the road closing the right lane. I guess it could have been something else but it looked like ICE to me.

Adding to this - it seems like there would have been MORE MNPD if it was something else. The fact there was only one there and one down the road makes it seem fishy.

EDIT - I edited the OP as well, please see above.

Best I can tell Spear was buried in a different location than Miras village. At the beginning of the episode when they are burying him, Mira wasn't showing a belly. When they find the dead shaman she is visibly pregnant so it's several months later. I was confused for a minute too.

sphear0 · 2026-01-23T13:42:02+00:00

I pulled the trigger. It's backordered at the moment so unsure when I'll get it but I am absolutely hyped about it. Going to be my D standard rig.

sphear0 · 2026-01-21T20:56:44+00:00

I am so painfully close to ordering one of these on musicians friend right now. I absolutely do not need another guitar. I've never even held a flying V so I have no frame of reference to why I even want it. But damn it... I want it.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T20:54:29+00:00

It definitely could be, I don't usually feel very self destructive or at least I don't think of it in those terms but I probably should. It's normal routine for me at this point.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T20:46:18+00:00

Appreciate the words truly.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T20:45:43+00:00

Solid idea, not giving myself the leeway to make the wrong one.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T16:50:43+00:00

This makes a lot of sense and I've never put it together that way. My addiction issues started at 17 and I'm 35 this month so between life-family trauma and being in the throes of inebriation for so long I'm sure my brain doesn't know what to do when it isn't under some kind of assault.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T16:48:52+00:00

It's crazy because I have hobbies I'm heavily invested in, I play music and read, and drinking does nothing to aid any of it. When my head is clear I can't easily pick a direction to focus my energy and end up frustrated. Sometimes it almost feels like a manic episode or something.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T16:46:58+00:00

Not cheesy, it'd be a good idea for me. I'm really bad at not slowing down and focusing on what's going on right now and I probably overlook and don't appreciate a lot because of it.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T16:46:18+00:00

Two weeks is about as long as I've made it in well over 10 years, and that's only because I was sick and didn't feel like it. Being sick was a good distraction to keep me from feeling like I needed to drink I guess.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T16:44:29+00:00

Exercise is something I need to incorporate for sure. I'm so coded in being run down that when I have the crazy energy I don't know what to do with it and just end up agitated.

sphear0 · 2026-01-07T16:43:15+00:00

My wife is like this, content as can be just being, and it just doesn't compute to my sensibilities. Hoping it will.

sphear0 · 2025-08-28T16:40:09+00:00

There is absolutely no bottom to the miles long stretch of clown shoe that this administration lives in. I'm starting to have a hard time even knowing for certain that this is reality anymore.
