I should watch more of those. I think I only watched the first two episodes, but I was surprised how disturbing it was. Actually made me feel uncomfortable.

The very first one has to be one of the more disturbing episodes. Some people never got through it w/o bailing.

When you say 'first two episodes' you mean The National Anthem and Fifteen Million Merits?

People think it's dystopian satire about the future, when it's actually horror about the present.
 
And that wouldn't/shouldn't preclude you doing your own parts for new material.
Oh hell yeah. If that happened, I'd likely walk.

Actually, when I was looking up the two episodes I saw, it turns out they were the first two of Season 4. But I totally agree about it reflecting the present.

The 1st one about the blackmailed politician... and a pig. Not sure the order or titles of the rest - I've watched them all including the 1st of the 3 newest installments.

Frankly, the US is currently living through our own episode of Black Mirror written in real time. And yes, it's actually horror of the present. I wish to God I could switch off the screen. (and I don't even believe in God) The title is "Unprecedented - the end of reality as we knew it"

You mean the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? In a bizarre coincidence we later learned that the actual Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland had indeed fvcked a pig, or at least a severed pig's head, while a student -- once again hammering home the point that Nye Bevan's remarks are as relevant today as they were in 1948.

It's 7ender 7riday, don't try to confuse me.
Here's a Fun Fender Foto just for you...

That's my most Gibson sounding Fender along side my most Fender sounding Gibson. Both companies knocked it out of the park with these basses. And both companies promptly discontinued their models.
Fender Modern Player Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde and Gibson 2013 EB5 in vintage sunburst.

Nice basses! Burst is super nice! Like the couch/ sofa too!
A response should be ensuing....
 
Close to being an actual Fender... my Supersonic - 24 fret active EMGX powered tribute to the '85 Fender Performer in Firemist Gold metallic. The MIJ Performer was designed to be the "Elite" Jazz bass but because of the CBS/Fender transition it was only made for one year. (July '85/July '86) String through w/GHS Precision flats.
FTR: this is my personal bass / not for sale and I'm only posting it because - it's Fender Friday.

I have no issues with any of the Gibsons I have. That's three 'Birds, a 2013 EB, and a late '60s EB-2. I would love to have an ES-335 or ES-330, and an ES-125 or maybe a Super 400. But all of those are way out of my economic scope unless I sell a whole lot of stuff.

No expert on what they are looking for. But I’ll just say I think my 2011 Gibson is bloody beautiful !
(100% biased opinion)

I am an optimist. We survived a lot of things in the past. The kids I know will fix the current problems and make a different mess for their children to clean up. As long as we don't make like yeast and drown in our own excrement. Then again, we may be creating great cosmic booze to get some intergalactic being buzzed. All is well with the appropriate perspective.
