I hope not. My mother would beat me with whatever she could grab and once cut up all my socks because I pull them up too far.

Yeah, was about to say my mom would beat me with kitchen utensils until they broke for eating her crackers. My daughters just kind of hug me and say “it’s ok, dad”.

“Hmm, share on Facebook? Don’t mind if I do!”

Had an army buddy get locked up. He knew he was guilty, fell in with the wrong people after separating. (1%er bikers)

He finished 14 years and got out, then contacted me. I asked him why he never called or wrote, said how most of the time letters get shredded for “drugs” because they test them and in the process it destroys them - in or out. Letters to and from lawyers are never messed with.

Also told me that often times it is cheaper to call the 1-900 sex lines than it is to call in prison.

I was at the Ozzfest where Black Sabbath did a reunion tour. Think the tickets were $25.

Mixing now requires phenomenally less equipment. We went from massive mixing boards to a collection of individual dials and now we are on very powerful digital modeling systems with a laptop interface.

Sure, these need to be dialed in at every venue, but most of the settings are staying close to the same to recreate a studio type sound with autotune turned slightly down and letting the chord change strum be left in.

I remember buying tickets for all day event concerts in the 90’s that were absolutely amazing for between $20 and $50. Went to every Ozzfest from 94-99 and the most I spent on a ticket was $35.

Now those lineups would cost $500+, and for what? Some added light shows? There is less equipment needed now than ever before. Audio modeling is incredible. What once required a massive pedal board and post processing done in a huge computer can be accomplished by a Helix stomp and a competent audio engineer with a laptop and a few other systems. FRFR speakers are cheaper than ever and sound better as well. The “this has gotten more expensive” line is a crock of shit.

Tickets should have scaled with inflation. This is just the next iteration of record company greed. We knew it was happening with physical music sales but now with Spotify and Apple Music they can’t gouge at that level. Line must go up, so it’s happening with concerts.

You have no understanding of any market outside your own little bubble, and looking at your past comments really enjoy speaking from that vast void of Dunning-Kruger. It’s really pathetic.

This stupid thing just keeps saying “I can Haz Cheeseburger”. What the hell does that even mean?

No, he didn’t. He has no knowledge of rockets outside of Wikipedia. He has no knowledge of engineering outside of some shit science show.

I have worked with engineers who worked with him at Tesla and they say he is a functional idiot, borderline mentally defective. He will go into meeting and act like he understand magnetism and everyone has to sit there awkwardly listening for an hour about him rambling on like a moronic 6th grader until he leaves.

They are part of the ancient tribe of Mr Beast. Little did we know he is like Mumra and just keep resurrecting over and over.

And in a lot of states you don’t need full home owners insurance if you own the place. Would be even easier to live in a home on a McD’s job.

This would be simple, just have a room filled with more guitars I don’t play and buy a few more pairs of cargo pants.

🤘Dad life

Pussy in bio!

Nope. And his degree was awarded after he stopped attending after a large donation by daddy. No one in the physics programs remembers Elon in class. Only official statement they will give since transcripts are not public.

Quitting Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit (really all social media) really helped. Lemmy is nice because there are not nearly the amount of comments.

Honestly social media does nothing for us anymore. It’s no longer serving its original purpose and is now a derivative version if MK Ultra level shit to feed us rage and sell us crap.

Some even let you play in your browser now…

Makes me sad thinking about all the fun Flash based games we had access to maybe a decade ago.

Audiobooks are not a replacement for actual reading. It’s still nice to have, but your brain fires off different synapses. They are nice to have in the car.

Yes, I bitched on the internet. It was something that happened almost ten years ago, but it’s not like the school would have ever done anything. Let’s be honest about how this stuff plays out.

No, it is. I had women joke and say “what are you, gay?”, then laugh when they find out I can sew. Have stitched up many a stuffed animal. The guys ask me where did I learn that?

“The army”

Oh, that’s cool.
