Gibsons’ been lacking so much lately anyway; they charge so much for a guitar that can barely stay in tune (at least for the one’s in the last decade). Brands like Harley Benton have been squashing them for dirt cheap for the last few years.


Not to mention they also just get gross, and can fuck up your fretboard too. Every string change sesh is also an opportunity for me to clean and condition the fretboard.
You keep your strings in better shape with string conditioner/cleaner if you’re using steel / nickelwound /nickel though


You definitely don’t play enough, or your strings a gnarly and should be replaced anyway by now dude lol
Edit: I change my strings every few months


A public display to the world, say like the Nuremberg Trials 2.0 for the Trump admin would be helpful.


Ebbs and flows of how life dictates how it wants you to consume things has always been there, but you still have choice. For new stuff, you can dig for what’s quality to you. You don’t have to give it to the AI sloptubers.
And yes, getting older objectively makes it more difficult to get into new things, but it’s okay to embrace that. Have your backlog of stuff you KNOW you enjoy.



Replying to your shit take as soap box to answer your question and remind everyone that one the things we should be organizing is a GENERAL STRIKE
Congratulations to Portugal for committing to a GENERAL STRIKE and gaining massive leverage: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/sustainable-finance-reporting/portugal-general-strike-stalls-transport-closes-schools-labour-reform-protest-2025-12-11/


It really makes Nancy Pelosi’s insider trading and other corporate democrat corruption look like fucking peanuts by comparison, doesn’t it?
As everyone said, FOSS is the way to go for all of your concerns, and most likely won’t be paying a dime.
A non-FOSS alternative for video edits is Davinci Resolve; there’s a free version that is absolutely amazing. Discovered it when looking for an industry standard platform that runs natively on Linux.
Its pretty much just like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro. The non-free functions have so far not felt necessary because of the multitude of free plugins that could be used for the rare occasion I definitely need something that’s otherwise behind a paywall.
