That's not how nicknames work

Tbh...just lie. Base it firmly in reality though and get your story straight. Astroturf the entire reference with people you know, who may or may not have been involved with the reality. Make it believable to the rest of the application. Chances are your references will be passed over entirely anyway while whoever is doing the bare minimum to get through their work day checks over your application.

This may or may not be good advice. 🤷

My view from my window(they gave me one of the big rooms all by myself, the only one with windows, ptsd i think) was OK. Middle of nowhere farm and small Appalachian Mt chain. We had to sneak onto a ps3 to use youtube lol. One night i was watching lighting rolling around the sky and hills thru my big window, laying on my back, reflecting off the ceiling. I cried so hard, it was beautiful.

The rehab sucked. It really did. But I had so much fun. They tried to take our communal volleyball game over some bullshit and we flipped shit and got everyone riled up. We kept our fkn volleyball. ..it was a state run rehab with everyone fresh out of jail. Never laughed so hard in my life.

I'm almost 1.5 years clean from a decade+ run on fent and benzos. Wouldn't trade my experiences for the world, but I'm glad I'm myself now. Things are still fucked up, and they'll always be for me, but I'm working on it..

It really is whatever you want it to be. Make it for yourself. <3

I would like to thank everyone on here for the last two months or whatever it's been from the start of the migration, and to the people just coming over, and those who were here already. I actually feel like I've grown as an individual in my time here. I'm starting to see certain patterns in my own behavior and working on them thanks to the content and the engaging discussions on here. I used to avoid interaction and lost all hope, but you are all really awesome. Thank you <3

One time I thought I was gonna have a seizure, I layed down and curled up saying fml, and my cat came running from the other room and layed on my chest. No seizure. love you buddy, my familiar.

That is crazy.

Like a damn laundromat. So is LG gonna supply water and power too? Wtf are the charging for? The right to buy their product? Lmao. Fuck off.

Go analog. Real analog. Sticks and stones baby.

I started working construction when I was 15. I'm in my 30s and my body is broken, but like, I gotta eat right? Obviously this 14 yr old shouldn't be working at a bar, and this is a symptom of a larger problem, but that's SoCiAlIsM.

Yep. I'm an American tradesman and the trucks that the guys drive are way too beefy for what they actually do.

I've gotten by with small Toyota trucks, and rav 4s..much to the chagrin of the good old boys. Should have seen their face when I rolled up in a prius...till I tell em I get 50 mpg easy.

I would love a small little truck like this one in the photo.

So I'm relatively new to fuzz. So far I have a Ge fuzz face, and an EQD hizumitas.

I play mostly low gain, but I actually prefer the sound of the hizumitas, especially when I roll the guitar volume way way back. I pretty much have it set to a tad above unity, everything on 0.

I'm thinking there has to be a muff that will let me reach those lower gain tones that are just out of reach with the hizumitas, without having to roll back to 4 on guitar, and turn off some other drives, as it's sort of impractical with my current set up.

I'll probably be pushing it with a ts9, if I must. But if there is one that has a bit more clarity and note definition, then perhaps I won't need to? I'll be using it for rhythm, alot of major/minor 1 5 8 3 arps, with some analog delay. Maybe some lead tones. With the hizumitas rolled back, I get this really nice woofy, smooth, "controlled" smooth woolyness that sits behind my playing, rather than the usual wall of fuzz or straight smooth distortion.

So far I have done a bit of research on the green russian, civil war muff, eqd hoof, and the frantone peach fuzz. I'm just a bit overwhelmed, and not too versed in muff circuits, or fuzz in general.

I'll prob end up copping a clone of whatever I decide.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated...perhaps I'm not even looking for a muff? Lol

Thanks for reading!

This is a fair take.

Due the circumstances right now, we've got more tech and privacy minded people, as well as more "principaled" folk, so we definitely skew a certain way.

I'd say give it time. Imo, things will sort of water down if more people keep joining. (For lack of a better term)

But I will respectfully disagree, I'm kinda enjoying it, and I'm not half as smart as some of the people on here, but I do totally understand your perspective.

Something needs to die for you to survive, what and how much is up to your individual tolerance for input/output ratio.

Death and suffering is a natural state of being in nature. I can reduce it, but I still need to survive.

I hate fishing. I don't need to fish in my current station. If I did, I would fish.

Didn't the woman who came up with monopoly create it to teach the flaws of capitalist thinking? Then some guy stole it from her and capitalized. Classic.

That was a really good episode. A ton happened, I think it was a whole chapter.

Gum gum hydra looked awesome. I'd imagine g5 would look similar, but more.

Who ever directed this, I'm a fan of, for sure. The source material is not particularly strong in some spots here(big mom), but it was still handled pretty well imo.

With battles winding down, and the amount of ground covered, this episode felt like classic one piece 👌

I absolutely love the dumb little slapstick clown horn music they use for gag parts. Cracks me up everytime.

So I am getting a synth to do some basslines etc, and want to run it through my chain with minimum fiddling. I'm thinking about grabbing 2 aby boxes, one for the front to switch between guitar and synth, and another to go between the pedals and my rc5 looper, to switch between one input for guitar, and the other input to get the synth into my bass rig.

Is this an appropriate solution?

My chain is about 10 pedals, no tuner. Should I get one w a buffer? Doesn't matter?

Any ABY reccs would be appreciated, on a budget.

If you have another idea, I'm all ears (:

Edit: also it is worth noting, or stating, that I'd rather not have to power these, as there is only one port left on my psu, but if the active boxes are way better, I guess I would not mind. I'm not too familiar with ABYs obviously, but I know they're fairly simple circuits...do they add any noise? Thanks for reading!

OK so I am fairly tech illiterate, and would like some guidance.

I had been using ver. .33 up until today, very happily I might add, and I decided to try .35 out. I know there were some issue with the .18 ver of lemmy and compatibility so I just wanted to try.

I Uninstalled .33, installed .35 from github. I immediately got an error message about compatibility and ver .18.

OK whatever. Uninstalled. Went back and got .33 , but now the app just crashes. I much prefer and am used to jerboa over the web browser.

Any thoughts ?

Edit: lemmy is pretty unusable right now on web browser, it was working fine until I no longer have the app, the constant refresh is pretty bad, every second there is 100 new posts regardless of how I sort.

I'd like to think im not a stupid person, but sometimes I'm not too confident. Perhaps most of my "stupid moments" stem from this.

So I see people are starting move stuff over from reddit. But now my feed is clogged with r/nosleep mirrors, and due to the sorting bugs and lack of a hide read thread option, I think it's worth discussing best way to go about this. I'm not tech savvy, just thought I'd bring it up.

I'm all for the idea, but it feels spammy, especially when sorting by all>new is currently our best browsing experience.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: they said they're dumping them into a defederated instance first as a work around. Thanks to everyone doing their part!
