Imagine yourself pre-2016, and this presidency (2016/2024) is the subject of a movie.

"Oh, c'mon, seriously? They'd just impeach and remove him. Do these guys even read?"

"President Buff from Back to the Future? We're supposed to believe this?"

"Do they really think the D's would just roll over to the R's?"

"They're just going to rubber-stamp approve who-fucking-ever? Republicans and Democrats?"

"They're just going to let this dipshit pardon a bunch of insurrectionists? Did the writing team not know the sentence for treason is death?"

"HES LITERALLY CALLING HIMSELF A KING IN A TWITTER POST. JFC!"

This movie has so many plot holes I'd walk out on it. And here I am fucking living it.

Religious, macho, hatred of other-Latin (Mexicans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Domincans etc. have a lot of interrelational hatred), and I-got-mine-ing (pulling up the ladder once they got their citizenship).

He may have gone one goose-step too far.

I'm not dismissing its use. It is a useful tool, but it cannot replace experts at this point, or maybe ever (and I'm gathering you agree on this).

If it ever does get to that point, we need to also remedy the massive social consequences of revoking those same experts' ability to have sufficient income to have a reasonable living.

I was being a little silly for effect.

Normally, I work from one side to the other in pairs like below:

XX

OO

OO

OO

OO

OO

I face the heavier side toward the door so that I will have the majority of the weight in my hand as I pick it up.

So we're going to depend on AI, which can't reliably remember how many fingers humans have, to take over medical science roles. Neat!

LA is a third world country.

Louisiana, that is.

It really is, but my hope for positive change is in the goddamn toilet anymore.

Republican voters see the choice as:

  1. Wear the boot
  2. Be under the boot

Sane people ask, "do we really need to stomp necks?"

And Democratic leadership asks if the boots really need to be steel tip.

They want small opposition, and they like to deregulate themselves.

If she starts threatening you, you've got just as much ammo. Just remind her how much say her family has in her end-of-life care. She might not want to end up in a 1 Nurse-aide/80 resident nursing home with no visitors.

My God why was this so hard for me?

So I did - fixed.

 
 

So, I'm brand new here. Hi! I attempted to learn classical years ago, and let it get away from me. I've recently returned to it, and I've been much more diligent about my practice than I was last time around.

Anyway, what brings me here today is that I saw a crack in my headstock today on a Walden Classical I got maybe 15 years ago. It's a lovely guitar, and I'd like to get it fixed, but I have no expectations. It's a hairline fracture leading to the tuning pegs

  1. How much should I expect to pay?
  2. How serious an issue is this? I'm a little concerned it might truly break. I can post pictures if that's helpful.

Anyway, thanks for the knowledge, and I'm happy to be here. I'll try to contribute some, even if it's just nice classical pieces I find. I'm liking Lemmy so far.
