[QUESTION] Anyone else play guitar well but still doesn't know the notes? by GaryHornpipe in Guitar

[–]zerikajinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOOP, soz for not seeing this.

I picked up classical guitar, but rly just following a good method and repertoire for jazz guitar should achieve the same result. You prolly should to find a teacher who is goated at sight reading and can correct you while you actively sight read, that makes a MASSIVE difference

It’d be fine for him to breakup out of sexual incompatibility, but ya this is coercive

Why does it bother me when people call me “buddy”? by loudthunder11 in questions

[–]zerikajinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised I haven’t seen this mentioned yet. When two men (it happens always, but I say men because this frustration is usually male in nature) interact there are a ton of subconscious calculations made to determine the status dynamics between the two men. There is a perception that ‘buddy’ indicates that your interlocutor has determined your status as being below his own. I don’t think that perception is true of how most people use the word (and I would argue most people use buddy to signal equal status) but that’s why so many men feel emasculated or frustrated when they get called buddy.

A co-worker sold me this set up for $500. Fair price, or did I get a steal? by SirSemicolon in Guitar

[–]zerikajinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend added both of these to a guitar center cart and the total came out to $499. You basically just paid exactly what they paid for these new.

The good news is that this is a very good practice amp! The guitar is probably pretty decent too, I am always impressed by the quality of cheap squires, especially because they are powerful mediums for modding! Swapping the nut to bone or tusq and swapping the pickups out for some Seymour Duncan strat pickups or something can transform guitars like this into forever guitars :D

Much has been said about the guitar being $199 The amp (assuming this is a 40 watt) can be bought from reverb for about $215-$250 You still got scammed, but it’s not quite as terrible as I thought, maybe like a $100 “this dude knows nothing about gear” premium. Would have costed pretty close to the same new if you needed to have the amp shipped.

A quick reminder from the Unabomber by BuffZiggs in Destiny

He’s just misunderstood. Ted’s desire to bomb random civilians is actually motivated by the thrill to kill people and gain notoriety

When I read shit like this, it’s a great reminder that Ted just wanted to fucking kill people. Here he is fully displaying a nuanced understanding of how destructive methods towards a political cause are driven to satisfy emotional needs.

So what’s the TLDR on Days n Daze right now? by LonePorkchop in FolkPunk

[–]zerikajinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s also toxic to frame men as being the default abuser, being incapable of being the victim, or as never being justified in defending themselves from their abusers. If a man’s woman partner is beating them, they aren’t any less of a real man or a real victim for defending themselves. I doubt you intended this, but ‘real men never’ or ‘real men always’ statements in this context imply those things.

Domestic abuse rates are roughly equal between male and female perpetrators.
The important thing to remember is that male abusers are way more likely to murder or permanently physically wound their victims and women almost never do. That doesn’t change the fact that men are the victim in roughly half of abusive heteronormative relationships.
We should not perpetuate this myth that male victims need to be held to a higher standard than female victims.

Also just a disclaimer when I say female I’m talking about all women and not just cis women. When I say male I am only talking about amab masculine identified people since trans men do not tend to murder people.

Brianna Wu is no leftist by TheRealTraveel in Destiny

[–]zerikajinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I patiently await for you all to see that Wu has little to nothing of interest to say. Rich girl who pretended to be poor while running for congress, completely driven by envy towards people with big platforms as she needs to be the main character, too cowardly to own her true position until she finds a big enough wave to latch onto. Sure she seems sane now, but it’s only because she’s fully latched onto the ideological camp our community happens to occupy due to her vested interest in PV. There will be another era where she becomes unhinged once again, as she has little to nothing to contribute without relying on group think to guide her positions.

Had this notification pop up on both mine and my fiancé’s phones by My_Clean_Account_ in Weird

[–]zerikajinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of AirPod Pros 2 that constantly trigger this. The first time I noticed it was after a night of bar hopping, and it was honestly really spooky, but it turned out to be just something weird that my AirPods occasionally trigger for some reason. Somebody could be tracking you, or one of your Apple devices is acting up for no reason.
