Meltdown girl: Only allowable meltdown. 6 month long family pranks are holy poo poo. But lets get to a larger problem - why the gently caress do people feel the need to ask reddit what they are allowed to react to? Do I have to break up with her? Am I allowed to consider the context? gently caress man, consider whatever you want. Marry the girl, or gently caress her sister, do whatever dude. It's your life. I get it when people ask "how do I communicate this thing better" or something actually actionable but why do so many people feel they need internet permission to feel how they want to feel?

The best example was probably "my friend set me up on a blind date with this girl who is kind of crazy and yelled at strangers for sitting in the wrong table and made me extremely uncomfortable all night; should I ask for a second date or what"

Not /r/elationships exactly, but still pretty funny.

[Discussion] My bandmates don't like the way that I hold ny instrument and they keep pressing the issue, it has become bothersome...

Lance_Bombardier posted:

I'm a 23 year old classically trained guitarist, I play lead guitar in a jazz/rock fusion band for the last 9 months and as such I'm mostly playing an electric guitar these days, which I like. The bandleaders said when they hired me that they liked the classical influence on my playing and my clean tone (hollow bodied guitar, flatwound strings, no effects, solid state amp etc.) and thought that it would add something unique to the band. However, since we started playing a lot of live shows in the last 3 months, they've contradicted that.

They keep complaining about how I hold my guitar, saying that it looks ridiculous and doesn't match the band. I prefer to sit when I play and hold the instrument in classical high position: the bottom of the guitar resting on my right knee at a 45 degree angle, with the first fret at eye level or a little higher etc. because that's how I learned, and when I'm doing solos and improvising high on the fretboard that's the only way that I really feel comfortable. If I'm just playing chords or simpler stuff I can play standing but not with the guitar really low "rockstar style", but at around my navel so that I can keep it at that 45 degree angle with the first fret at eye level.

Earlier we had a band meeting and this issue was really harped on, I find it quite ridiculous really and it was quite embarrassing for me, let alone frustrating, since I asked if they had a problem with my actual playing and they said no, and that they really liked my solos from last weekend's show. For me it's about the music, and my point of view that's what matters — how would you handle this? I'm getting a bit sick of it.

Yes, and this is the main reason I think it's fake

Remember when that story was posted about how a lady in an open relationship was mad because her husband and boyfriend were fighting over a Switch she bought the boyfriend with the husband's money, and it turned out to have been written by an incel? The way you could tell was that it included the sentence "Tyrone is in much better physical shape than my husband"

Googled that guitar guy and the first result was a word substitution so I guess they're making fun of the guy.

I'm a 23 year old self trained guitarist, I play rhythm guitar in a rock/jazz fusion band for the last 9 months and as such I'm mostly playing an electric guitar these days, which I like. The bandleaders said when they hired me that they liked the blues influence on my playing and my dirty tone (solid bodied guitar, round round strings, lots of effects, tube amp etc.) and thought that it would add something generic to the band. However, since we started playing a lot of live shows in the last 3 months, they've contradicted that.

They keep complaining about how I hold my guitar, saying that it looks ridiculous and doesn't match the band. I prefer to stand and run around when I play and hold the instrument in relaxed low position: the bottom of the guitar resting on my right knee at a 45 degree angle, with the first fret at belly button level or a little higher etc. because that's how I learned, and when I'm doing solos and improvising high on the fretboard that's the only way that I really feel comfortable. If I'm just playing chords or simpler stuff I can play sitting but not with the guitar really high "jazz style", but at lower than my nipples so that I can keep it at that 45 degree angle with the first fret at eye level.

It's such a loving stupid thing to have a meltdown over. In that situation, you work out a way to get even.

Dipshits who meltdown at the slightest thing tend to be the most boring, anodyne assholes who'll back down immediately when challenged. She just sounds like a typical star of an episode of 'My Super Sweet Sixteen.'

Your parents setting up a 6 month long con, dunking on you super hard, then calling you dumber than dirt for believing them isn’t “the slightest thing”. At the very least the girl deserves a pass on the meltdown. Her parents sound lovely as hell

Either they're lovely enough that the tantrum made sense (in which case she needs to :sever:), or they aren't bad enough for her to consider severing from (in which case either the tantrum was an overreaction or she secretly loves the family drama).

Slashing tires is amateur hour level man. Take a small stone and put it in their valve stem cap, and let the air leak out over days/weeks. They’ll air their tires up, and screw the same valve stem over right back on, over and over again.
