This pyramid is mostly bad argumentative techniques, i.e. arguing in bad faith.

It does very little to explain the structure of good faith arguments, lumping them in together at the top...

Thanks for the explanation. I'm surprised to hear there's no thumbnail since the load time for a lot of these pictures is high enough that I can't imagine it's already cached (alch that may be more of an instance issue).

I got a tiny FX processor (boss pocket mini) and it can hook up to any set of speakers or headphones. The ability to move from rock to blues to metal to funk has made practice even more fun.

Plus it's opened up the world of playing along to YouTube tracks, which has been an absolute blast!

Just do it!

I did a ton of research and got a cheap bit quality monoprice starter electric guitar.

There's definitely a ton of snobbery, same with any hobby. YouTube is a fantastic way to dip your toe in the water and you can always start lessons if you're enjoying it!

Play an instrument.

I had zero musical talent, I'm not coordinated, and I don't even listen to music much to be honest. Yet one day I decided to try playing guitar and totally fell in love, it's like a new part of my brain came online.

I'll never be playing Wembley stadium or whatever but just practicing is so rewarding. It's not about getting good, it's about getting better.

Pug beagle mix, they're amazing.

Sounds like you're kind of grieving in advance, which is natural and healthy so long as you channel it into something constructive like you are.

Everyone's parents will leave, yours is the best case scenario.

Reddit actually at one point changed the behavior of /all to not include subs that were wholly NSFW. Prior to that you'd often see gonewild posts that had, indeed, garnered enough up votes to make it.
