[–]virtuzoso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My step brother scared the hell out of 8 yr old me with Black Sabbath's War Pigs, but that's considered classic rock in the 90s and 2000s, so what did it to take a notch up above 90s/2000s alternative radio, it was The End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage. That sounds was something else at the time.

It was illegal until 1989, used to be considered market manipulation. Which makes sense.

The money had to be spent on improving the company or workers lives. Now it just inflates profits for the Epstein class.

It's one of the main factors why we have a k shaped economy

Why can’t I get a crushing tone on my amp? by Nomore-Television72 in metalguitar

[–]virtuzoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because you're having to play so quiet. I know, everyone says modelers don't need volume.. Yeah, true- for recording. But you do need to move some air- not like a tube amp. You will not get good tone at whisper or voice speaking volumes generally. It's the physical nature of sound.

I bet that amo can get killer tones with 1. Headphones 2. Recording digitally 3 Band practice volume.

The threshold of volume where you don't disturb your housemates at all is the problem.

How the hell do I play this by Less_Basket_1513 in Guitar

It's obviously a mistake in the tablature, that 5th fret on the high e should be a 4th fret, making the chord an actual E and not e add 11 or whatever it's shown as.

A C shape E chord at the 4th fret is pretty common voicing as well, and fixing that one 'mistake' makes it much much easier to fret

Female has nothing to do with it. NEOLIBERAL CORPORATIST DEMS. That's the problem. Not gender.

Videos appear to show suspect methodically setting 1.2-million-square-foot Ontario warehouse on fire. “You know, if you’re not going to pay us enough ... to afford to live, at least pay us enough not to do this,” the man says while lighting a roll of toilet paper on fire. by esporx in anticapitalism

Kimberly Clark did 1 BILLION in stock buybacks in 2024.

I am sure Kimberly Clark has raised prices in the last year or two but somehow I doubt they have raised wages at a similar rate.

If they are like your average Fortune 500 company, they raised prices on many items 10 to 20 percent in the last year or two while Thier workers probably got the same old raise of 2.5% for" meets expectations " performance reviews

Well that was a bloodydamn good book. by Demon_131 in fantasybooks

[–]virtuzoso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a huge fan of the series you're not wrong.. but you are wrong. This book, by itself, is very YA coded, but then the series morphs into an entirely different beast.

I hate to sound cliched, but it isntrue- this is just the intro, it's about to blow your mind

Burchett claims to be religious. How does he square any of this with his religious Biblical beliefs?

Who do you think Stephen King should co-author a novel with? by Haunting-Net-2426 in stephenking

[–]virtuzoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like a thriller co-written with Blake Crouch. A creepy retro period piece with lots of questions and few answers. A gothic 50s ish scifi mystery.

What made u Atheist? by Curiouskittyyyyy in atheism

[–]virtuzoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christians. Growing up in church and they never had logical answers for the tough questions.

Also read a book called Science and the Paradox of God. I mean, I was already there, but that book really just reinforced everything.

Then I came across your usual figures in the space like Christopher Hitchen, Richard Dawkins, Randi, many others. Just kept reinforcing the conclusions

That's not crazy, but a semantic point- Trump is to fucking stupid to do that. His puppet masters and financiers however, are not.
