What a beefy comment.

Thanks for the stranger, kind gold.

 

Edit: Wow, this really blew up. Thanks for the updoots, kind strangers.

So I play guitar. I had a problem where I would sometimes drop my pick. Then, one day, I had an idea. I took some copper wire and attached it to a pick through a small hole I burned into it with a needle. I wrapped the wire around my finger. Now I physically cannot drop my pick.

Where is Ned Ludd when you need him?

Right? It's so creative. If you can stomach the content, of course.

I happen to be familiar with Sam Kinison, and it was definitely not him. This guy was skinnier. Thanks for your input, though.

Right? These kids walked so The Chats could run.

Yeah, this comedian was definitely American. But thank you for not judging me too harshly.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think it's him. I looked up his stuff, and he doesn't quite fit the bill. I think the guy I saw had a mustache with no beard, possibly reddish.

Thank you for the validation. I feel pretty insecure about posting it, to be honest. I don't want to trigger anyone's PTSD or something horrible like that. That's why I added the content warning and all that.

Yeah. I apologize. It just stuck in my brain because it is so incredibly dark. It's like a twisted, perverse creativity, like a torturer who comes up with new ways to cause agony. I respect the depths this guy plumbed to come up with that, but it still makes me uncomfortable.

 

Don't you just want to give this kid a hug?

I know I'm a month late, but I just came across this comment. Joel Haver is one of the most beautiful filmmakers I have ever encountered. He just has so much empathy for his subjects, and it feels like he really loves his characters. I discovered him a few years ago, and I am definitely in for the ride. There is not enough ass in the world for that man to kick.

 
 

My theory is that chihuahuas are so on edge because they know something is wrong with them, and they know it's our fault.

I ordered my Playdate last week, and it arrived today. I am having a blast with it so far. Highly recommend it. The build quality is really solid, and the software is snappy and fast. Seriously, get yourself one of these.

 

Hi, all. So I just made a semi-impulse purchase of a Playdate console. While I'm waiting for it to arrive, I would like to hear from you guys. If you have it, what has your experience been? Is it as good as some reviews make it seem? How big of an issue is the lack of backlight? Any favourite games?

 

Hi. I'm looking for someone willing to make an album cover for an album I'm currently recording. I will pay your going rate, of course. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

 

Hi, all. So I am a South African living abroad, and I have a question. See, I'm an amateur musician, and I want to record a cover of the song "Blou Blou Lug" by Seeleeu Leipoldt for my next album. The problem is that I can't seem to find out how to navigate the copyright situation. I don't want to step on anyone's toes here. Is there a database somewhere that I can search to figure out who owns this song?

TL;DR: I need info on the copyright of an old Afrikaans song for the purpose of releasing a cover version.
