Yes my goal every day is to be condescending to some clueless Zionist libs on Lemmy. Get over yourself it’s not about you. How would you feel if some 20 y/o IDF psycho was dragging your family out into to the street to kill them and throw their bodies in the ocean?

Personally, I’d rather die with a gun in my hand than on my knees watching my family get raped/murdered.

Remember when Israelis rioted for their right to rape prisoners? Look it up.

Literally nobody is “cheering on” Iran. As so many others have said, we’re cheering for the defeat of Israel. May they rot in hell.

Imperialist aggression is wrong. Full stop. You don’t get to murder a bunch of people because you claim the moral high ground on one issue. The US never “brought democracy to Iraq” either. They killed a million people and ran some sham elections for the optics.

Call me self-righteous all you want. You’re defending settler colonialist aggression. Give the Palestinians a chance at self-determination and stop murdering people in their homes. Then we can talk about LGBTQ rights.

If a country that was more progressive than the US (not hard to find one) started bombing the shit out of New York City, would you be like “well, they deserve it for their transphobia”?

Do you realize that Orthodox Jews consider women to be inferior to men? Like, they won’t even shake a woman’s hand.

Sacha Baron Cohen, Zionist shithead though he is, actually got chased down the street in Israel by an angry mob for playing his flamboyant gay character Bruno. He had to yell “I’m a Jew I’m a Jew” to keep from getting the shit kicked out of him.

Israel is literally committing genocide RIGHT NOW. I’m sure there are plenty of gay, trans, nonbinary Palestinians who have head their limbs blown off, if that’s really what upsets you.

The genocide apologism is so obvious it’s sad. You point to one issue that will make liberals go “oh no, scary Muslims!” and you run with that. Fix your heart.

Reminds me of my favorite Simpson’s quote.

Marge (to Bart): “Your father wanted to be a police officer but they said he was too heavy.”

Homer: “No the army said I was too heavy, the police said I was too dumb.”

That story led to my discovery of Eddie Izzard’s “covered in bees” bit and I’m better off for it.

We all live in a bizarro world where it’s the voters’ fault for not voting for you.

There’s no need to throw around the term “pothead” like it’s 1995. Most of the country smokes weed. The Dems are really good at alienating people, so I wouldn’t put it past them to say such a thing, but the issue with Rogan has nothing to do with his use of intoxicants.

You’re not going to make him “damaged goods” because a huge part of his appeal is that he’s a conspiracy theorist asshole who platforms people that completely fly in the face of conventional wisdom. Again, that does sound like a good way to lose an election, i.e. a Democratic Party strategy. Maybe you should work for them.

Original article if you’re like me and had to know if this was real. October 2015… what a simpler time for the ol’ U S of A.

Well if someone from the CIA said it, it must be true!

 
 

This is my 2008 PRS Hollowbody II singlecut and my 2006 PRS McCarty hollowbody doublecut. Both were purchased second-hand within the past six years.

The singlecut was originally offered through the PRS Artist Package and I’ve only ever found one other guitar like it on the internet. Last year I finally pulled all the piezo electronics and had it completely rewired as a regular passive guitar. Aside from that, it’s all stock.

The doublecut was a prototype produced before the hollowbody was officially offered as part of the McCarty line, or so I was told.

Both of these guitars are remarkably similar. Playability is absolutely off the charts, and I enjoyed the singlecut so much that it was pretty much-love-at-first-sight when I found the doublecut a few years later. They are the lightest damn guitars I have ever played; both weigh in at about 5lbs. The weight makes all the difference in the world during long-ass bar gigs and weddings. Tonally, they’re way more percussive than a Les Paul, but incredibly versatile nonetheless. The way the top is braced to the back allows you to crank the gain on your amp/PA without having to worry about the feedback issues typically associated with hollowbody electrics.

Hands-down, these are two of my most prized possessions. I never post pics of my instruments to normal social media because I worry about theft, so I decided to do this little write-up to help grow this new (to me) community.

 

Picked this one up a couple weeks ago. I’ve been playing for close to 20 years, and this is the first Les Paul I’ve ever really fallen in love with. The big 50’s neck profile is extremely comfortable, and holy crap do I love these Mini Humbuckers! Even though everyone quotes Spinal Tap when I say it, the sustain is exceptional; it gives the tone a very “vocal” quality.
