They have been proven to do stuff that goes way beyond what is outlined in the mile-long, obscure TOS list. If it's "paranoid" to want to be aware of that, and to modify your use of the site accordingly, so be it. Some of us prefer to inform ourselves, and to take reasonable steps to secure...

If you can tell me what exactly will get accomplished by sitting around in a tent on a city sidewalk, surrounded by litter and unbathed potheads destroying random store windows, waiting for cops to haul us all away on vagrancy charges, I'll "Do something!" other than SMH cynically. In the...

People like you are seriously allowed to own guns?

That is OCPD, a completely different disorder.

I actually feel bad for the drunk dude- imagine waking up the next day, not just hung over, but finding out that your most prized sh1t is gone- and that YOU were the clown who did it to yourself?

You could always run it by an orthopedist just for good measure.

I'm not really sure where you're getting your "definition" from; but even the quickest Google search should set you straight. Ever see one of those old Simpsons reruns where Homer tries to get sarcastic with Smithers, or Lisa, or even Stephen Hawking? That's you tonight.

It was the rhetoric-style language of the post. To accuse people of "burying your heads in the sand" and "sweeping things under the rug", etc., is loaded language meant to guilt or to embarrass people for not doing what you think that they *should* do. At least, that's how I perceived it. I'll...

Usually, when I think of doing stupid sh1t for kicks, it's more along the lines of eating a pizza with bacon and mac-&-cheese poured all over the top, or taking a random leak into the snow, or blowing up a Halloween pumpkin in my yard. Not putting strangers at risk of car accidents.

OCD =/= neatness or organization...that's like calling yourself autistic because you play WoW and dislike the noise of chainsaws.

Like to moralize much? :rolleyes:

1. chick is a hot mess looking for a rebounder 2. good buddy has turned hormonal over her Jerry Springer himself couldn't have set up a better situation here.

I probably shouldn't have even opened up this thread. Full-time pro player here; and to say the least, people talking flippantly about music theft is very, very bad for my blood pressure...

I have just the opposite problem- I am 34 and would much rather play '80s metal, followed by "heavy" classic rock (think Ritchie Blackmore with "Rainbow"), etc., and I don't even want anything to do with the music of my actual Generation X peers. I hate punk and alternative; and the stuff...

Born in the '70s and a schoolkid in the early '80s. In a lot of ways, I feel like we had a foot in both worlds- on the one hand, you had the old guard still punishing you for being a brat; and there were no automatic trophies for every kid who breathed- you were expected to achieve like crazy to...

Grilled so hard that it's nearly charcoal briquets for the next piece of meat to be put on the grill. :D

This is why I don't get the hate against sagging jeans...

Either this is a troll post, you're fifteen, or you're a sociopath. One of the above.

I'm Italian & I still ate those...pretty much all throughout the '80s. While watching The Goonies and metal videos on MTV. Those were the days, man!

Right on. Those three girls have been begging the public for some privacy since the actual hour of their rescue. This story never should have gotten out of their local neighborhood in the first place. We vultures just don't need to know.

No need to hit the wall; I am not that easily offended :D The thing that those with "day jobs" don't realize, though, is that there's a key difference here- you guys have all kinds of legal recourses if your boss tries to pull something like that. If your boss shorts you pay, you have a crazy...

His fatal mistake was to have played before collecting pay. Never play one note without pay in hand upfront. This isn't 1986; people are not trustworthy anymore.

Act all professional in a response to them, set it up, and then show up on the big day shirtless, the rest of you in a clown costume, wildly swinging a bottle of Colt and creeping on all the high-society ladies in attendance. Fart a couple of random times for good measure. Tell 'em...

My main pet peeve is guitar-smashing. Rich, overpriveleged douche move times infinity. That includes the old classic-rock and metal legends who did it in the first place. I hated it then, and I hate it now. I'd rather watch Yngwie Malmsteen give an interview from his home studio room filled to...

That's just the thing, though- even as humor, it comes across as so snide and cynical, it's like Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons trying to be funny. Nobody even remotely well-adjusted would sit there and crank out stuff like that just to post it to Craigslist...or would they? :eyebrow:

Yeah, that's my point.

Exactly; that's why that racial sht is so stupid in the first place. How exactly would we classify Cubans, Lebanese, etc? This backward "black"-versus-"white" bunch of crap, is seen in the USA and South Africa, and pretty much nowhere else on the face of the earth. That was my point before. As...

I am left-handed, but could never afford lefty instruments growing up, so, just learned to adapt- same as I had to do with writing, notebooks & sht like that. No biggie. It would be too confusing for me to switch to a lefty bass now...hell with it. Got my special lefty scissors & can...

I don't know what goes through the heads of the bitter-'n'-jaded types who write sht like this. I see it on my two nearest local CLs constantly, almost exactly like the one above. Do they think that some like-minded soul is going to write back to commiserate with them, to dress their wounds, or...

I was just gonna say the same, that Facebook in particular is a huge privacy-threat that so many people are completely flippant about risking. That and Gmail.

You might be surprised at just how many people out there can't tell that difference. I've lost track of how many people come at me with stuff like that when they ask me the what-do-you-do question, and I tell them that I work as a musician. Homeless, couch, basement, drug addict, Peter Pan case...

I am, too, & have heard of him- thanks, tho. Just saying that he is exactly the type of cat that I go out of my way to seek. Too bad he lives & works so far away. I am from a state nowhere even remotely near Texas. Oh, well.

I think that the ones who hear music in their heads come out better as composers. Yngwie Malmsteen & Jason Becker both claim to hear it pretty much constantly.

I'm not even mad or personally offended; just SMH that so many Americans out there still do this skin-color crap, even jokingly. We should have been past it 150 years ago. The whole rest of the world thinks that we are complete lunatics for it.

...huh? :confused:

I actually prefer the lunatic drummers who fly through crazy tempos, play all kinds of random fills and changes, etc. I can't hang with the ones who do nothing but bash the hell out of the same monotonous beats endlessly. I'm not even gonna try to embed a video here- I am that challenged at...

From a teaching gig rather than performance: The owners of the guitar shop where I taught were forever allowing no-shows to keep sliding without paying, because "the customer is always right", along with giving them discounts that were taken out of my pay. They probably managed to screw me out...

Post snide sht about other players behind their backs on Internet message-boards. :rolleyes:

Only in the US do people actually talk like it's forever the year 1892, making remarks like the above as if it were the most natural thing in the world :rollno: I am Italian American, but am as "pasty white" as it gets. On the street, you'd probably pass by me, mistake me for an Anglo, and...

It seems like, in general, the main tendencies out there are rap and pop singers, with electronic, Skrillex-type stuff kind of a runner-up. Every other genre out there is still around, but in a "niche" way, with small and highly loyal fanbases.
