Ah, yes, the old argument of "you live longer, so the billionaires get to own more of your time".

No. How about if I get to live longer, I get to enjoy my tiny little bit of time longer? It isn't scarcity by nature - it's scarcity by design.

It is if you check out a book like "How Fascism Works".

I'm seeing online that it can be emulated (assuming PC is what they're referencing in the post), but I'm not seeing it directly through Steam.

If you have an Xbox, by some miracle they have it available, and it's $5. I highly recommend it.

Guardian Heroes was an outstanding RPG beat 'em up on Sega Saturn. It had

  • a two player co-op storyline with branching choices to get alternate endings

  • unlockable characters for a 6-player arena mode

  • incredibly unique characters to unlock, spellcasting with ➡️⬅️⬆️⬇️ input

  • and a kick ass soundtrack.

Nothing has really scratched the same itch since (yes, I'm aware there's a sequel, but it's terrible).

Try out fudepens too. Fountain pens, but with a brush end. Sometimes they're refillable (my preference), sometimes they're not. They make them with actual bristle brush tips, but also foam tips like calligraphy markers.

I've come to really enjoy them.

How many times does this gotta happen before we start calling them missiles instead of rockets?

It seems that way in context too.

 

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.

 
 

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.
