  1. Yeah, the Sweetwater plek pitch is a "would you like to supersize your bougie gear order?" offer. On Reverb there is a clear gear price correction going on with the used market, I don't think it's started to trickle up to the new market yet where prices are set primarily by manufacturers. So I wouldn't buy a new guitar now that has a jacked up covid/stimulus price and a much larger than normal value drop as soon as the word "used" can be attached to it. Pedals and stuff under $300 are still moving, guitars over $1000 are slooooowww and sellers are cutting prices to pre-covid (normal?) levels to get a buyer. There are always outliers, but that seems to be the general trend.
  2. That its a miracle she didn't turn up in Town Lake?
  3. That's actually a very interesting statistic, that about 70% of Republicans feel democrats are palatable enough to fuck, and 70% of democrats wouldn't fuck a Republican with a ten foot dildo. I'd like to see it corrected for gender as I bet women comprise more of the Democratic Party than the Republican party. In my own circles, I think the average person who still identifies as Republican is kind of clueless about how repulsive they've become through association with who they vote for. They want to see their voting choices as a difference of opinion that shouldn't come between friends or family members. Like we're just walking out of a movie theater and disagreeing about how shitty the last M. Night Shamalamadingdong movie was. But their voting choices directly harm the health, well being or ability for other friends and family members to live, love and prosper. So that has to be reconciled against how they may treat that person as an individual face to face, and they just can't see that they bear a responsibility for the real-world effects of their vote.
  4. Did you get her number?
  5. This is how we know it's a cult. They are "party over pussy."
  6. Could you imagine what a MAGA-branded ez-bake oven might look like? I'm just gonna leave that for you degenerates to contemplate.
  7. Well this explains your affinity for the "fuck around and find out" emoji.
  8. Yeah, but have you ever seen 5 yo bowling leagues?
  9. Rapping/shouting is the best Vince Neil has sounded in years.
  10. I hope she is found safe.
  11. For Elon, its the Oddsissy
  12. Follow up question should be, "But seriously, if costs increase for manufacturers and retailers, why wouldn't those costs trickle down to consumers?" And based on his answer, I can think of another bag of follow up questions.
  13. I don't give a shit if Quinn and Arch support Trump or not. That's their right, but what I think will be interesting to watch as the new NIL world evolves is whether visible political stances cost people like Quinn and Arch some dough. Orgs like Burnt Ends likely won't care. But businesses driven by profit motive (vs say something like X) want least common denominator, unoffensive pitchmen that do not alienate customers.
  14. Its not about election integrity or truth or informing the public, its about creating enough chaos that the voting system shuts down. Its people phoning in fake fires all around town so the trucks are answering those calls instead of responding to real fires. Then they can point at the fire department and say, "Why didn't you stop the real fires?" Its manipulating reality to fit the view that A) all government run agencies are inherently inept and fatally flawed and B) elections in the US are a sham. I'd like to say I think it is so that the spoiled man-child on the R ticket can avoid having to face that he didn't win something, but I think Trump is largely irrelevant. The goal of the most insidious of the people who "support Trump" is to dismantle the government. Trump is just a useful tool to make progress towards that. Their view of our shared world is more aligned with Timothy McVeigh's or Ted Kaczynski's than my own. That used to depress the fuck out of me, but as it becomes more apparent as to what is going on, I am seeing more people reject it. For every person it energizes and brings in, three are repulsed and driven away. That's taken from the people in my orbit in Colorado and Texas, but I think we are seeing evidence that something like this is the general trend nationally.
  15. Gonna spoil the ending of this National Lampoon Vacation reboot:
  16. She thought she would be Jackie O, but instead she's the Dutchess of the Brain Worms.
  17. Well, when you put it THAT way…
  18. I know 3 people who voted for Trump who were considering staying at home or voting for RFK. Now that one of those options was removed, it will be interesting to hear where they are at.
  19. In an honest system, the Kennedy name alone wouldn't have taken a person with worms in their brain so far.
  20. The primary outcome of bringing RFK jr into the MAGA fold will be to make Trump appreciate JD Vance.
  21. Not that expensive, either.
