fuck dog if i get rich you can have some of my fortunes!

...yeah

edit: tha motherfucking fund!

My musical involvement has always been attending random shows and talking about it online.

But if I was rich or won the lottery I've always said I would open up a music venue. But kind of like an all ages kinda hole in the wall

Oh shit we're still here.

I've been listening to a lot of emo and screamo lately, and I disocvered the band Policy of 3.

I knew with a song title of "nine years old" this was going to be some deep shit. Man...this song is about a kid minding his own business when some bullies come to drown him in water and threaten him with a knife. When that is over he runs home to his mom to tell her what happened, and instead of love, she beats him for being somewhere he shouldn't have been. So, he has to live with that lack of love and how it changed and hurt him forever.

Madden is such a buggy, incompetent mess with less features than the mid 00s versions(create a team? anybody?) I would actually love to meet somebody who really loves the game and thinks its great who also isnt in middle school.

its the kind of shit like people actually having discussion about Madden team/player ratings as if they are relevant at all.

Sure, EA has the NFL license, and the alternative is not playing a current gen NFL game, but the alternative also means having morals and not supporting unabashed trash.

Plus, there is nothing at all wrong with 2000s maddens of NFL 2k5 people love, and other games.

People will complain about this but to be fair NOBODY....NO BODY...nobody on earth should ever buy/play a madden game ever again.

Game has been trash for at least a decade. Why even care about the washington team name in game, when nobody should give a single fuck about Madden in the first place?

yeah for sure.

Take a look at William E Simon. Actually opposite Neff on tha 1976 $2 bill.

That's a head scratcher.

My favorite might be Francine Irving Neff on the 1976 $2 bill and others.

that guy on the left has seen some shit.

See, that is the kind of hard hitting analysis I wanted. Thank you. I will take some of that under consideration when I feel like making this better.

Anybody here remember the user FetusMan?

I think he was a CEman.

This is a picture list of all signers of modern small-size US currency. I know it looks strange having the heading at the bottom, but because of a lack of planning ahead on my part, I didn't include space at the top. I just decided to roll with it. If you think I should re-do it so the heading is at the top you can let me know, but its a known issue I was just too lazy to fix in the moment.

I feel like every color combo I use looks cheesy.

Easiest way I can think of since I know these images can be copied and pasted flawlessly into a google sheets spreadsheet, but I dont know....could I import that as a JPG image I could then put on imgur and stuff?

edit: I guess the thing I am trying to make is a "cool guide" so it needs to be an easily sharable image format.

examples of cool guides:

I guess photo editing, but I don't know what to call it. Basically, I want to take a bunch of smaller images and add them into one. For example, this data here

http://www.uspapermoney.info/sign/

I want to basically take all of the signatures and turn them into one JPG with each little box stacked, kind of like an easy to read "guide"

The text in there(terms of office) doesn't matter much, but I am clueless. How would I take all 50ish signature images and combine them on top of each other into a large JPG file? Is this making sense?

For what its worth I am using GIMP.

you all know what this is. if you have to wear a mask for a ton of time they end up smelling like shit.

Nasal snuff can take that odor away....or at least your ability to smell it.

I have this one from germany that is tobacco-free that smells light and sweet and aromatic. It's called Bernard's Magic Moments.

https://www.mrsnuff.com/collections/bernards-snuff-non-tobacco/products/bernard-magic-moments-white-10g

It smells way better than body odor. Like, if somebody just straight up shits their pants in an elevator Bernard has you covered.

im going to tell her she overpaid $50 so she gets the hint but isnt upset

I don't care about sentimental stuff personally. I'd be just as happy with a new one rather than get this one fixed. Though that is not me acting like if it didnt get fixed she needs to buy a new one. I am grateful for the fact she gave me this watch and got it working again. Everybody is different in regards to sentimental stuff. I don't think he wore it all that often as it was discovered in box looking brand new, like it had never been worn. But maybe the sentimentality of it all was the main driving factor, I just can't say for certain it was.

I feel like what it is, she was trying to do something nice for me, which I definitely respect. But if you take my car out to get an oil change to be nice but spend 4x the value of the car doing so, I can't help but want to let you know softly that was a mistake.

This might sound silly, but let me explain.

So, a few months ago my mom found one of her father's watches he bought on a cruise ship in the 70s or 80s. It looks very nice, and I like how it looks for sure. She said I could have it.

When replacing the battery she must have done something to it and it wouldn't work so she said she would get it fixed.

Thinking nothing of it I say "okay cool thanks" thinking it'd cost like 50-100 dollars and i'd pay her back.

No, to get this watch fixed it cost $380, making it by far the "most expensive" watch I own by a good margin. So expensive, I don't even want to wear it for fear I'll scratch it or ding it.

On the plus side it should work very well for decades to come, and it literally looks brand new as if it was just bought.

However, seeing as I can just buy a brand new working one on ebay right this second for $100, I just can't help but be mad at how dumb of a decision this was without even consulting me.

So, I should be grateful she did get it fixed, and she will not ask me to pay her back. But I feel like while we aren't poor, there's a million other things to spend $380 on. If she had told me the price before she did it I would have said no thanks, don't bother.

I just can't help but be upset even though I should be grateful she got it fixed. I just....don't even want to wear it ever again as a result of the costs.

This sounds dumb, but I just can't get over what a colossal waste of money this was. I should be happy, but I can't.

I don't know if I tell her how I feel or just suck it up and be happy?

As much as it should be a responsibility of the OP to post a link, rather than dilly-dallying over it I looked one up on google in like, seconds.

When it comes to pop punk I am a fan of certain bands. I always like to go back to the OGs of the genre, like the Descendents. Their discography is hit or miss in some ways but their first album, Milo Goes to College is an unquestioned classic.

Somebody once described the opening to "jean is dead" as the punk answer to Sweet Child of Mine, and I guess I can't complain

If we're going to get literal and just go for punk bands covering pop, one of the best covers I've heard in this regard is Husker Du covering
"Love is All Around", The Mary Tyle Moore show theme song

I was thinking last night, not a routine beer buyer, that what I paid (18 dollars for 4 bottles) is a lot, but thats actually cheaper than a fifth of Cuervo in my state, or something really shitty, so its actually not expensive at all really.

Yeah....As far as "pre-made" margarita stuff goes this is top notch.

Of course it isnt really a pre-made margarita but it reminds me of those plastic jug mixes but if they were crafted with care and were good and not made by Jose Cuervo/Diageo.

This satisfies the urge to have a quality, tasty maragita beverage. my god.

everything is so perfect. each component is muted enough to create one hell of a package.

beer.

35% silver. worth like a buck.

anyways, this here is a 1943 P war nickel. These were made during WWII from 1942-1945, with 1942 being a partial year. To determine if it is one, there will always be an overbearingly large mintmark of P, D or S above Monticello.

They made hundreds of millions of war nickels so they arent rare on the collector market. I personally have 12, all hunting finds, so in circulation they are rare. Can be sold for like $2-3 and a bare minimum silver content which today is $1.05.

Actually somebody found this coin today and gave it to me. Straight out tha mothafucking drawer.

Not that WD-40 or Spirit-all can't fix.

You are only against it if you feel like your side cannot win on votes.

why wouldn't you want your vote, no matter who you are or where you are from, count the exact same as literally anybody else?

Do I think trump is encouraging these racists?

Not necessarily to be racist, but if they citing him as a reason these asian people will be fucked, well..........................

Don't just wait to see how this other thing of hers pans out. Now is the time to suggest that the two of you go out, but "just as friends." She's probably not serious about this previous boyfriend. She's more than likely bored and he's a known, comfortable alternative to being alone. But there's a reason shit didn't work out for them the first time. Her taking it slow with him sounds like there are trust issues with him.

You obviously have no intention of just being friends when you go out. But saying it's just friends hanging out gives her the opportunity to justify it to herself and say yes. Be smooth, show her a great time and make her forget about that chump of an ex that she isn't even serious about. At the end of that first date it should be clear whether there's a chance to go further. If there isn't, then leave it alone and look elsewhere.

I don't know much but i guess they were living together and argued a lot towards the end of it so the girl moved in with her sister.

Im definitely going to act cool and shit though around her still in case that goes south. I don't know about asking her to hang out 1 on 1 without the context of dating only because i know her sister and her husband well so including them would be natural and the default.

Though we both like taking photos so perhaps i could see if she would want. To do that

My least favorite thing about FFX is how they gave you the ability to name Tidus, so the whole game other characters are like "Hey guy! Over here!"

and like, Yuna never learned his real name???

I am going to revive this topic to talk about one of the most powerful music acts i've ever heard, the screamo band Saetia.

This band mixes frantic with slow and smooth very well. This is for fans of intense screaming. This is music that definitely comes from the heart, but in some places it sounds awkward, which is fine. Pure displays of emotion sometimes can. They weren't around for very long, but A Retrospective brings together all 17 tracks the band wrote plus some live tracks. This is really powerful stuff. I feel like a band like this may have had a huge hand in influencing a lot of 00s bands with really awful rough/clean vocals here. A lot of bands do that and it seems forced. Nothing here seems forced at all. Definitely a listen if you enjoy chaotic, but also some tender moments within. I actually discovered this band when I was like 27/28 years old, so this isn't something teenage me loved that might not hold up as an adult. As an adult this band captivated me in ways others cannot.

Nobody has any justification for why they needed a knee on his neck for 8 minutes. You can try and argue things like Floyd being high or having pre existing conditions accelerating his death all you want, but where is the justification for that type of hold in the first place? Why keep at it when blood is pouring out of his nose and he stops moving? If you verify he has no weapons, why even care that he "could become violent all of a sudden" as a result of drugs, when you have plenty of officers to step in if that were to happen.

I do feel for the one officer who apparently was on his 4th day on the force. He tried to help, but was also taking cues from Chauvin, his superior and a veteran of 19 years. But otherwise? No. I don't feel for anybody else really.

the story and world-building was great, the dialogue and acting was awful

I can get behind this. I actually remember the names of some of the planets in 1-3(Naboo, coruscant, Kamino, Tatooine[doesnt technically count]).

I can only remember the name of Jakku, because it is a Tattooine clone. ANY other planet in 7-9 and the spinoffs I cant recall, unless it was already established in episodes 1-6.

I think its weird. People, for the most part, hated them when they came out. 7-9 sucking doesn't somehow take that away, that just means in addition to 1-3 sucking, 7-9 also suck.

I did wait an awfully long time before I said something, though, so I am kinda sorta kicking myself in the pants. But it isn't a big deal. Her response gives me confidence because while it didn't work out here, it will work out with somebody in the future.

Did you at least get to rummage through her coin purse?

Aw dude. I know thats some shit she was talking about when she said she felt like I was interesting.

Friends sister in law who I see a few times a month when I am over his house as she lives there.

She said she was seeing a previous boyfriend and was taking it slow. However at the same time she did say she also thought I was a cool and interesting person, and asked me how long I've been thinking like this. I said a couple of months, then she asked me why I waited so long and I just said I realized a good moment to ask wouldn't just come up if I didnt make one myself.

So, the way I am taking this is that while she is in something of a relationship the general idea didn't repulse her and if this was a couple of months prior she might have said yes. So while I am backing off I kinda feel like she didn't entirely discount the idea. But I don't plan on being awkward or a creep so that doesn't mean much, but maybe down the line if she is single again I might have something, but I won't be the kind of guy to swoop in as soon as she's single cause that is whack.

Oh well, can't win em all. But I feel much better for having asked.

No. I went on one 1.5-2 hour walk a day, for three days straight.

The job of a dictionary is to document words as they are used. Which is why any dictionary that acts as one will have the normal definition of literally(as in, 100% factual) and the more modern usage where its just used in situations not 100% factual(Say, "my car broke down and I literally had to walk 500 miles to the nearest gas station")

So, if irregardless is being used a certain way, it is the duty and responsibility of Merriam Webster to record it.

Yeah, around 77.5 of em or whatever on average.

I'm going out walking in the woods a lot so it isn't like I am staying indoors all day. I am having fun, just away from others for the most part, and hanging out with friends.

But you see places opening up restaurants and bars coincide with cases rising, and that just doesn't sound like a smart idea.

People tell me I need to live my life, but I am. I saw the same spectacular view from 4 different elevations at my local park yesterday, and I need to get out and enjoy summer more somehow. come on.
