Ha, I just cancelled my prime. Nailed it.

A man of taste and class 🤘

1975 Gibson Grabber bass. Instead of having multiple pickups, it has one pickup that you "grab" and slide across the pickguard. I had to get the fretboard re-set, as it had been sliding down the neck and making it impossible to intonate.

Terrible design, but it's a unique piece of music history that I enjoy having on hand.

Santa can see you when you sleep, knows when you're awake, and visits every believer's house at the same time. He's not scientific. Santa is an egregorian God, created from nothing by the belief of his believers. Santa Clause is a vast, Eldridge being, set upon the earth to reward the kind and punish the selfish. Santa is everywhere. Santa is everything.

So be good, for goodness sake.

I ditched racial accents in place of regional accents.

Ahhh shoot. Looks like the kid got pipelined.

Jokes on you, I blow dudes while listening to trance, not metal.

You've obviously never lived somewhere rural where country is king. Hicks are violant as hell, there's no comparison.

You just don't hear about I because we fuck around in the woods and down backroads.

I mean, dwarves in wheelchairs is already a thing in 5e. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Banak_Brawnanvil

Conservative old men are so sensitive.

"Meet Dave."

Just throwing this out there: Firefox mobile with Adblock let's you used Reddit without giving them any ad rev

Americans are putting tomato slices on grilled cheese sandos? Fack man, just when I thought y'all couldn't sink any lower...

I will wait for Silksong like a good little boi, if it ends up as good as the original.

I drive manual, it's great for my ADHD haha keeps me from fucking around inside my car in traffic.

That being said, the person who made this needs to calm down. It's not that serious.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered it haha

I have a Google pixel and use Google services. I also use Lemmy as my gateway into FOSS programs and options.

Perfectly balanced.

I like Tumblr, I hope it sticks around.

Baby bison and baby rhinos have the same energy

It was a the death of 90% of the population to small pox within one generation that allowed colonization. The Europeans were dirty and diseased, untrained peasants. Their firearms at that time were inaccurate single shot rifles, that took minutes to reload. Analysis of indigenous bow techniques showed the common capability to accurately shoot multiple arrows in rapid succession.

And it goes beyond war: Indigenous people didn't farm as Europeans did, we instead cultivated forests with eidble plant species that complimented each other to kept the soil healthy. The forests across the Americas were thousands of years into a cycle of land management that kept grown food naturally abundant and plentiful, without having to clear the land. Indigenous peoples were expert and managing the population of the animals of their areas as well. We understood which members of an animal population should be hunted, and which should be kept for the health of the species. We then knew how to fully utilize every part of the animals hunted. The core of most indigenous cultures rotated around ethical and efficient management of the land's resources. What did the Europeans do? Accidentally gave an entire continent a super virus, then stripped the forests clear to plant shitty crops not made for this climate, and hunted countless animal species to extinction. Europeans were not technologically advanced at all. They were just diseased. That's it.

Rest assured that without smallpox, the Americas would not have been colonized. Population density and technological differences would have made it too dangerous and expensive an undertaking.
