  1. Read his manifesto rag. He didn't just want to kill this dude and get away with it while no one knew who or why. He's wanting to spark a movement.
  2. So he's the Steve Sarkisian of assassins?
  3. Get in line behind White Power Bill.
  4. Yeah, with the exercise I outlined, accuracy is more important than speed. Start at 50bpm if necessary to be accurate. Then as that becomes comfortable, bump it up to 55 and so on. Eventually you are capable of keeping time fast. Its just a matter of reps. I actually find it harder to play slow than fast. Like, you can play a blurry line over a 130bpm and the brain can't really process that oh you are off time by 10%. 10% off at a tempo of 65 is fucking noticeable. Make sure to crank the gain so you can hear how shitty your timing is *ducks and runs for cover*
  5. Yeah, I mean, you can go the opposite way and be so perfectly aligned to a grid that it sounds inhuman, like it's all quantized. And some recordings really benefit from not having a click track to keep people locked on a grid. The looseness can be part of what makes the song. That said, I think most beginners would benefit from more practice on timing. Better to be tight and capable of looseness vs just being sloppy and incapable of tightness. I still practice alternate picking against a metronome (or just my foot tapping) playing 8th notes, triplets and 16th notes at various tempos. Finger style, too. One and, two and, three and... Trip-L-It, Trip-L-It, Trip-L-It... Wa-ter-mel-on, wa-ter-mel-on, wa-ter-mel-on... And practice placing emphasis at different syllables. "WAT er mel on", then "wat ER mel on", then "wat er MEL on" and "wat er mel ON". Muting the un-emphasized notes. It get's your playing tight.
  6. You think an intardnet meme with quotes from "Anonymous in Georgia" is legitimate and reflective of reality? I mean, it might be. It also might be bullshit propaganda meant to tweak your brain and keep you involved as a participant in the strife. The left isn't above that, as evidenced by the dark Biden memes when he was really just a drooling octogenarian who should have been put in memory care a long time ago. Or all the Kamala hopium being pumped into the infosphere that obfuscated the real feelings of voters before the election. And there are other actors who don't care about the ideological battle in the US or who wins. They just want the battle, and they want it to be BIG. Everyone needs a higher bar for the 3rd hand+ information they allow to carry weight in their brains.
  7. Are you trying to make the naughty list?
  8. If our team takes their anger out on who deserves it, they will beat themselves again this week, lol. I think we win the first two pretty convincingly. Shit gets real in the semi-finals.
  9. I think you are right, 3rd round or lower. If he hasn’t ever survived a college season, he won’t survive an NFL season and this year has been a showcase for his numerous flaws. I personally would only take him as a late round lottery ticket. I think his ceiling is career backup where he’s just being asked to occasionally come in for a starter and play well for short stretches while relatively unscathed/healthy.
  10. I’ve let the emotions ebb, slept off the alcohol and am able to think more rationally about last nights performance. Annnnd it just makes me want to drink it all away again. The most maddening thing to me is the lack of execution, focus, discipline and poise in a championship game. Up and down the roster and the staff. Dropped balls, watching tipped balls be intercepted, being beat for loose balls, false starts to kill drives, lining up in the neutral zone or jumping offsides, the red zone play calling and execution, the passes that should have never been thrown, the missed free throw field goals, celebrating an int vs taking it to the house to seal the game. And it’s made worse by the fact that we are so fucking talented that we can do all that and still almost win. What a sad waste of opportunity. Here’s to it being a wake-up call for the staff and players to fix that shit, but fuck, I wouldn’t bet on any sort of playoff run from this team.
  11. I admire your ridiculously misplaced optimism.
  12. Yeah, Ewers played better than he has in some time, and had others played better it would have been good enough. Turnovers, missed field goals and drive killing/extending penalties is what beat us today. We are talented enough to beat a lot of teams being a bunch of undisciplined and unfocused dipshits. We aren’t talented enough to beat Jawja like that. And we won’t finish a bnn playoff run like that. Time to start tazing anyone who jumps offsides in practice.
  13. I have no idea what an AI generated waif in a tie fighter has to do with anything, but...
  14. 16 pages in and I can’t believe I’m going to be the first person to say it: Brian Thompson didn’t kill himself.
  15. Holy fuck, Grandpa. Time is all we have, and yet…
  16. CEO gets assassinated in NYC by Jake Gyllenhaal who escapes on a bike? Tell me again we aren't living in a simulation.
  17. Username checks the fuck out.
  18. This thread makes me want to learn to play the kazoo.
  19. And here we thought Elon was being paranoid moving all his wives and kids into a compound.
  20. Probably not for this thread, but if you could graph “societal decay” and “sociopaths in leadership positions” over time, I am pretty sure you would have two mirrored parallel curves up and to the right. C-suite execs, politicians, mega-church pastors. In far-too-many orgs, the Patrick Bateman’s are celebrated and elevated. They get shit done without concern for ethics or morality and rise to the top.
  21. On the bright side, "Swindler's List" will win 12 awards including best picture at the 2074 Academy Awards.
  22. The wildfire stuff is a legit concern. We are not there, but we got dropped by Geico for homeowners insurance earlier this year where we are at in central Colorado due to wildfire risk (we've never made a claim).
  23. Yep, in which case you probably want to factor that into your cost of living delta. For us, it was a not insignificant expense at 11,000 feet elevation near Breckenridge. Close to $3K a year.
