This is where guitars are right now.

Both Fender and Gibson are now owned by venture capitalists. Their quality of everything, from strings to picks to guitars, has plummeted across every brand they own in the last five years. It’s sad really.

You do on Reddit and people talk about the models and which one is great for this, or why they prefer it for that, but then you find some deeper dives into more recent spaces and people who know what they are talking about have moved away entirely from both brands.

If anyone is curious, you can buy a better guitar from Harley-Benton, Cort, or Jet than from Fender/Gibson and it will be 1/2 to 1/4 the cost.

And yet, all they continue to sell me is a dryer when I just bought one a month ago.

Good. Can’t wait for these shit MBA clowns to destroy something else with their vast “knowledge”. Only this time will cheer them on.

And if they right mod or person complains, gotten your account banned.

There is a reason Beyoncé is labeled a performer. I don’t believe many of them could ever sing, the popular ones are all autotune performers.

There you go, talking into the mirror once more.

No, they are auto complete functions of varying effectiveness. There is no “intelligence”.

Everyone in retail will worship you.

And neither do you.

And OpenAI is still less correct than a broken clock.

There is no AI. It’s all shitty LLM’s. But keep sucking that techbro cheesy balls. They will never invite you to the table.

They collect all this data and then still cancel the most watched/best shows.

Morons.

I have had a 50/50 success rates. The ones who are bad are REALLY bad. To make up for it, they crank the gain, volume, and distortion to 11 and just annihilate everyone’s eardrums.

I had a luthier tell me how much was much better before the record. How artists would perform live and have to do their best in these performances.

Once records came around all the artists sold out and it has been downhill from there.

“Ok, can I have my guitar back, please…”

I am convinced that producers go out with a company checkbook and standard boilerplate, find acts that have good songs, then buy the rights to those songs.

They then give the songs to larger pop artists and never credit the original artist because there is no need. They likely pay well for a decent song.

Every online game is like that now. I avoid all of them for that reason. It doesn’t matter the game, if it starts to get popular the massive group of trolls shows up and goes out of there way to figure out the methodology to ruin the gameplay for others.

It sucks because there have been a few fun games that a lot of people won’t touch due to the online nature of garbage humans. Helldivers 2, SM2, and Deep Rock Galactic (sorry, your community is also filled with shitters) are all ruined because in order to really advance in the game you HAVE to play with others. It’s piss poor game design.

Amazon has so many false brands and knock off shit it’s ridiculous. Hardly any of it works yet it has a 4.8 review. It’s like Temuat this point for so much of it.

Walmart might have their “Walmart specials”, but I don’t have to worry about their stuff catching fire of giving me lead poisoning.

How did Walmart become the good guy in all this shit? What the ever living fuck is going on with capitalism?

I gave up on Amazon a while ago except for very niche things, and Walmart if great. Orde groceries, they tell me to come get them, dude loads them up in my car and tells me have a good day. It’s amazing. No extra charge, nothing. Don’t have to deal with any of the people of Walmart.

The only things I buy off Amazon are the niche items from stores that only exist in the top largest cities in the USA. It’s difficult to find fountain pen stuff elsewhere, and most of the stores have a front on Amazon.

I don’t know why people buy everyday stuff on Amazon. It’s usually more expensive and you have to wait for it.

This was the freeing moment for me working from home. Getting my work done and then sitting there, six hours left in the work day.

No Karen bitch coming over to their captive audience and talking to me about her piece of shit cats or grandkids that are assholes. Dare I say anything and it’s a documented trip to HR.

Yeah, those people are all sad no one is being forced to listen to them. Maybe be interesting and people will be your friend, have something to offer. But no, they want to treat us like we are NPC’s and steal away our working time.

Fuck these parasites. I like seeing them go into the office and hate the other people like them. “Brenda talks too much, so anyways, about my 16th grandchild…”
