  1. I feel like what Esweig described is basically...... capitalism? innovation? profit motive? I guess I don't get how we're going to consciously inject capitalism into pharmaceutical enterprise and then complain when we get the benefits (and disadvantages) of capitalism from it? Every company replaces old products with new products. If you don't you perish.
  2. PREACH MCS! The two you mentioned about stoplights are two that drive me completely crazy too. I'm also over people who "let people in" esp if they're turning Left. I actually did that a few weeks ago against my better judgment and the dude got into an accident. I didn't even realize it until a couple seconds afterwards but I let gave him space to turn left and he cut across our 2 lanes then blasted someone driving in the left turn lane. It wasn't my fault obv, but I'm done letting that happen. It's too dangerous. People who let in 1 person while 47 people wait behind them while they let that person in also drive me crazy. People actually design where 4 way stops are based on traffic patterns. My new favorite is going into my daughters school we now have people who will stop and not turn right into the school in order to let people who are turning left into the school turn in, and there are no stop signs/ lights at the entrance. A couple days ago I watched someone just whip around the person "kindly" waiting for hte person to turn left and turn around them and I cheered loudly. I get that people are trying to be polite but this really causes more cluster than it helps.
  3. I know, I keep thinking about how these conservatives subtly admit they have small dicks and suck at sex
  4. hahahahahahaha yep, total classic. I also love the Costco Gas Station stuff. This is a bat signal to Shelton! Sadly, the infamous McDonalds that was discussed in that thread has shut down. I don't think there are any vestiges of the double drivethrough paint & signage left for us to go and have an objective investigation!
  5. I can report the same shit happens in Ypsi/Arbor. A lot. I'm extremely impatient person so maybe this is a me problem, but I can't understand people who wait at a light and then aren't eager AF to go once it's green. Between driving and grocery store I could go on for quite a while ranting but alas I think that happened on the old board.
  6. This is the "constitutional framer" "originalist and textualist" Alito is leveraging for his opinion.
  7. sadly they lead a political party and also still call into C-SPAN so they ruin both the coutry and the show
  8. very possible, those emails are from 2014 apparently so that would be before trump made everything terrible and also shitty
  9. oops admit much chief
  10. apparently Rs vs Ds is basically like pro wrestling, fight in public, bros backstage.
  11. wrong thread
  12. Lol. What a nepotism shitpit
  13. isn't that part of the plot of The Matrix?
  14. the punchlines would have been way less funny that's for sure b/c wingers would be making them and we all know the right can't meme
  15. Biden Impeachment started on the left. Sincerely Cucker Tarlson
  16. I think this is worse than indifference, it's cruel and inhumane. Maybe most of them knew it was going to pass so were ok with voting against it IDK but I'm admittedly biased and refuse to give them the benefit of the doubt b/c I'm not a dumbass. It's difficult for me to not consider this behavior in a very negative way. IDK if anyone is present here to defend it but I'd be interested to hear legitimate reasons why this isn't completely terrible At least now it could still pass. If they were the majority they would be able to actually inflict suffering here.
  17. we're gonna air guitar in unison for sure
  18. gotcha thanks. I was thinking it might be Aria b/c I could make out the A. I suspect the ridiculous prices for Gibsons nowadays is only going to cause these to increase in price even more. Good luck with it homey!
  19. Anyone here do much hybrid or finger picking? I was reading guitar player article about some country riffs and one (or more of them) were using hybrid picking so I learned how to do the picking specifically for that riff and used that picking strategy on a recent studio opportunity. I liked it so much I found another article solely about hybrid picking with a bunch of exercises to basically get you going (quickly they say): https://www.guitarworld.com/magazine/depth-guide-hybrid-picking-will-have-you-playing-pro-no-time-all I'm starting at the very begging, and some of them I could do pretty quickly but others I've had to work on. I'm working systematically on it, 2 mins for each one w/ a metronome that increase by 5bpm every day as long as I didn't suck at it the day before. It's pretty neat empirically seeing improvement every day. I think this is going to be one of the more consequential things I learn in guitar playing. Not CAGED or Minor Pentatonic box patterns level important, but important nonetheless.
  20. awesome! I like that burst, and that's saying something b/c I don't really like bursts but I do like cherry bursts & similar. I tried to zoom in on the headstock but still couldn't read it clearly, what is it?
  21. good stuff, this all resounds with me pretty well. I then wonder... ok, what about bills that congresspeople actually didn't author - like a lobbyist group authored it?
  22. Gop cares about babies 28million. Not billion
