  1. So you are saying you were master baited by the admin of the BBS you are posting on?
  2. Texas 52, Baylor 0. That’s a point for every rape victim at Baylor between the years 2011-2014. 225 yds.
  3. I've been absent from this thread as I've kind of put composing/recording aside as I've gotten more involved playing live again this year. I've concentrated on two things Being able to recognize chords and key to quickly contribute and sit in with some established gigging bands in the area; I've had 4-5 gigs like that this summer A looper-powered one man band performance where I can play faux drums, bass, acoustic and rhythm guitar to lay backing tracks live, then provide an instrumental improvisation over it This video is an example of #2 from an art show gig I did a month or so ago. One of the things I'm experimenting with in the one man band setting are some covers, where I play a fair amount of the vocal melody with guitar. This is from a practice session, but you'll get the idea... The live music scene here is very seasonal, Memorial Day through Halloween. I'll likely spend the offseason working on composing and recording, and in season playing live either in open jams, sitting in with some of the bands I've gotten connected to, or doing one-man jam band things like the above in settings where it makes sense.
  4. Cynical centrist rant. A big part of the problem is that Trump is really good for the fiscal, political or ideological business of too many people. He's good business for the crazy, alt right fringe politicians that have taken over the GOP and fundraise off his "persecution" He's good business for conservative media who sell access to the conservative voters who prefer the above crazy, alt right fringe He's good business for the true believers from Magaville that want to see him triumph and America to be remade in his image He's good business for politicians on the left who fundraise off his threat to democracy and civilized, ordered society He's good business for mainstream media who sell access to their audience which are centrist and liberal voters who are terrified of a 2nd Trump Presidency He's good business for the true believers of the far left who see Trump's candidacy as the vehicle for driving far-left change Trump is objectively bad for Moderates of the Republican party who are increasingly an endangered species as they get driven from the party Centrists of no or loose party affiliation who are increasingly an endangered species as they are forced to pick a side (bell curve inversion) The health of a civilized and ordered society which no one gives a shit about if there's a profit (again fiscal, political or ideological) to be made from the rancor and strife that Trump brings. There's never been a greater argument for the need of a "Deep State" than Donald Trump. There needs to be a judicial entity within our federal government to hold people like him accountable for their crimes, and that entity needs to not have a profit motive coupled to someone like him being a continuing threat to a civil and ordered society.
  5. You could look at this game as imposterously strong team plays down to competition and flirts with disaster. Or you could look at this game as a gutsy win where key players turned it on in the 4th quarter to seal a victory in an emotional letdown weak. I think the latter is more accurate.
  6. So your going to reach across the aisle and unite our cuntry?
  7. Sorta interesting... https://www.reuters.com/technology/gigacasting-20-tesla-reinvents-carmaking-with-quiet-breakthrough-2023-09-14/
  8. She's just having a good time, its all those other assholes in the theater marshing her mellow who are wrong.
  9. I'm only surprised she didn't draw on the lizard baby.
  10. I’m not unsure this wasn’t staged performance art. A key to her continued service in government is convincing mountain Cletus that she is making the establishment in Denver uncomfortable. This is gonna make the people that vote for her like her more.
  11. Oh, yay, the GOP swings more radically to the right. That's been so good for the country.
  12. That this story ended without a tazing saddens me.
  13. That's not really a thin blue line, relatively speaking.
  14. Sorry, but we're gonna need more bodies for this case to be worth @Nicole44's time.
  15. Never Forget* * offer excludes crimes, immorality and/or ethical lapses perpetrated by the 45th President of the United States
  16. There are sooooo many stupid motherfuckers to choose from, you're gonna have to be more specific.
  17. Congrats! We’re gonna have to get a Surly ski day set up this winter.
