    I mean, I’m watching Righteous Gemstones right now and loving it for what I thought was just a funny fictional show.

    Then I learned that even celebrities still share stuff to social media about supporting these rich fucking leeches. Nothing surprises me anymore. People don’t think about the climate or Earth’s finite resources or ecological collapse. Because as long as some rich fuck with a platform gets on it and says, “That’s not true,” their followers will believe it.

    And yes, I’m referring to uneducated religious people, which take up around half of this godforsaken country.




  • Part of the problem with our society is people are so quick to throw perfectly functional shit away because advertisements of all sorts convince them that there is something better out on the market now and that what they have is outdated. The quality of products as a whole have gone to shit because people would rather buy cheap knockoff garbage every 6 months and throw it away than buy a quality product that, with some care and attention, could last decades. I’ve had a lot of luck over the years being patient and browsing all the sites like craiglist, Facebook marketplace, etc and buying the few remaining top-of-the-line brands second-hand (or sometimes even for free) and making it new again. I’ll get off my soapbox now.








  • Thanks for your comment, I specifically meant drums and should’ve clarified. Yamaha sets were always up there in cost compared to all low/mid range sets growing up through the 2000s, though I haven’t compared prices in over 5 years. As far as guitars go, I’m currently learning and started with a Yamaha FG800 I picked up used for $175, though even full price wasn’t bad.
