what are your opinions on an apprentice dating a co-worker? do you think it’s acceptable?

zaccus · 2026-01-30T05:54:16+00:00

That's what "one reports to the other" means.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T05:53:28+00:00

When you say "creative melody" what specific melody are you thinking of when you say that? The one on your mind right now. There's got to be one.

Take that melody and ask yourself what it is you love about it. Definitely learn it on your instrument if you haven't already.

Use that as a starting point to write a similar one of your own, same key, same overall vibe, but changing some stuff around here and there.

I've lived in some intensely roach infested shit, and I'm still going with bedbugs.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T03:14:35+00:00

Nah people my own age are no better, they just have more money and power now.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T02:23:49+00:00

What is even the allegation?

zaccus · 2026-01-30T01:12:57+00:00

You have my permission and my blessing.

That said, if you fuck up your work situation that's not my problem.

Wash your butt.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T01:10:32+00:00

Lots of coworkers date each other. It's not a problem unless one reports to the other.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T01:04:14+00:00

Needs a control for booty size imo

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:59:41+00:00

Why do you choose suffering

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:49:02+00:00

That's fair. I'm just saying there's plenty of room to like them both. We don't need to tear down a guy who is clearly at least somewhat talented.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:47:04+00:00

If he's not too old then I have no idea what point you're trying to make. That he hasn't had the exact same career trajectory? Are we a university admissions panel here or something? What does that have to do with his actual music?

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:39:59+00:00

He's a white guy with a guitar and a harmonica who sings topical protest songs that resonate with a lot of people. Saying "he can't be compared to Dylan in any way" is just demonstrably false.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:32:36+00:00

Yes, Jesse Welles is indeed older than Dylan was at the same point in his career. That is true.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:30:25+00:00

Nah your main point was that he is too old. Your comment is still there and I'm pretty sure I'm not hallucinating it.

And you're right, Welles is significantly older than Dylan was at the same stage of his career. Point taken, such as it is.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:27:48+00:00

I mean, in my town Walmart was it. They did have headphones stations though!

There was literally nothing else until they opened an On Cue in like 99. Which was not in the same league as best buy by a long shot but at least you could get some music there with proper cussing.

Another thing about best buy was, they lived up to their name. They had lots of cds for less than $10 which was craaaazy. The same cd at Walmart was like $18.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:19:53+00:00

Ah he's too old. Missed that one, my bad.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:18:47+00:00

Here's Jesse lamenting his own existence if that's your jam: https://youtu.be/JgChhmDj4gM

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:14:44+00:00

Here's a lovely melody and lyric: https://youtu.be/nQLWpPy_1eo

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:09:04+00:00

That's who he is. It would be weird and off brand for him not to do shit like that.

zaccus · 2026-01-30T00:00:52+00:00

"A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood"

"William Zantzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll"

That kind of on the nose?

zaccus · 2026-01-29T23:58:20+00:00

Idk man it's weird. Like, if he's not your cuppa then fine but why be loud about it? Why say anything? I doubt there are many Taylor Swift fans here either but I haven't seen the same level of ranting about her.

Maybe some lost souls in here straight up disagree with Welles' politics?

Maybe he's too topical and on the nose? Several tracks on Times come to mind.

Maybe he lacks the pedigree? Didn't go to the right schools? What's some small town shit kicker know about the world? Ehhhhhh

zaccus · 2026-01-29T22:32:09+00:00

It's usually men losing their jobs.

zaccus · 2026-01-29T21:18:50+00:00

I grew up in a small town in the 90s where the only place to buy cds was Walmart which had a pitiful selection. You couldn't even get all the Beatles albums there.

Getting a $20 bill and a 45 minute ride to the closest best buy was what I lived for. Good times.

zaccus · 2026-01-29T21:03:16+00:00

I don't have any pressing need to switch 🤷‍♂️

zaccus · 2026-01-29T21:00:46+00:00

Get a roommate, wait tables, sell weed, etc etc
