Spira S-400 review.

Spira S-400 review.

I recently bought Spira S-401 which is local guitar brand under another brand called Jet in my country of Slovenia.

It was 331 EUR and I couldn't be happier with my purchase at the local store.

Online price on official website seems to be 410 EUR.

It had a very nice roasted maple neck which feels way smoother compared to most ESP and Ibanez guitars at this price point with raw maple necks.

It also has decent locking tuners for the price that are very stable but definitely don't compared to Grovers.

Their original pickups are also on the level of quantum pickups from Ibanez. They sound really good for the price but you can definitely swap them out for something like passive Seymour Duncan pickups.

Frets are top notch, no sharp edges. there is better fretwork than you often see on prestige series from Ibanez, not to mention most budget guitars at this price point.

Weight is very well distributed between body and head.

I saw multiple models and details are incredible. I've noticed more imperfections on higher end guitars.

Bridge runs through the back.

It has 24 frets.

It has a 3 way switch and 2 knobs.

Neurotypical people mature in more exponential way compared to neurodivergent people.

I've been reflecting on my life and I've spoken to multiple neurodivergent people in various support and analytical groups. I've noticed that strong majority of neurodivergent people were always told that they are very mature for their age because they usually didn't behave in very immature (loud and impulsive) way compared to neurotypical kids but when they moved from 20s to 30s, neurotypical people surpassed them in maturity, at least compared to their past selves.

We all know that society tends to favor neurotypical people but society expects for teenagers and young adults to be irrational and impulsive. It also treats teenagers with little to no responsibility while treating people in their late 20s with high amount of responsibility and need to become more calculated, determined and less impulsive.

Neurodivergent people are very different from my experience of talking to them (including myself). I was always more serious, calculated and cautious as a teenager which made all my teachers and relatives say that I'm very mature for my age due to my lack of impulsivity, constantly thinking ahead and trying to be cautious and considerate with people and world around me but I don't think that this is true.

I think that I was relatively calculated at early age compared to my peers, this is why I didn't care for partying, drugs nor stupid and impulsive decisions. It was just how my mind was processing external information around me. Most of my peers went from extremely impulsive and childish kids to extremely grounded and responsible adults but me and my neurodivergent friends, we went from gifted and responsible kids and teenagers to incompetent and avoident adults despite getting degrees, jobs and getting along with people around us.

I've noticed that we had to practice impulsivity and recklessness in order to improve our functionality in modern world while society tends to do the opposite, they value recklessness at early age and devalue recklessness in later stages in life but most of people who are neurodivergent that I've spoken to, started to become more impulsive and reckless as they aged since it's something that they needed to learn and only got to experience in later 20s or early 30s.

I've noticed that society tends to treat 15yo criminal as someone who can't do anything wrong because it's not a fully rational adult which is in favor of neurotypical people but strongly punishes any mistakes done at 25yo which handicaps neurodivergent people from starting to experiment and learn about the world in later stages in life while also not appreciating their responsibility and calculated nature at early stages in life but rather hits them with "being weird".

I really think that age is very subjective and relative concept while people differ relate more with their genetics and experience in life compared to actual "age".

I can't believe how many people excuse and support teenage rapists.

My friend who is 22 and was raped by 3 teenagers and judge pardoned them because they were intoxicated and too young to know any better. Judge also wanted to sentence her for "leading minors on".

I spoke about this on another server and everyone was fine with teenagers raping and cheating because they're too young to know any better and that those teenage sexual experiences are normal and not a big deal but if you say N word at 25, you should be arrested because 25 "has fully developed prefrontal cortex. That's false. This is pop myth that was debunked by neurologists. You can have 18yo who is more responsible and mature than 42yo.

If you can't tell that cheating and rape are wrong and cause harm at 15, you're a really bad person. I knew to never cheat at 13 and I definitely won't accept anyone's apology who thinks that they are free to escape accountability for cheating or raping at 13 but 25 years old isn't even allowed to get a parking ticket.

My friend's dad told his son at 14 that he should get things like rape, sex and violence out of his system by age of 18 because he can still get away with it.

I can't believe that people really lack this much of critical thinking.

I'm 26M and a girl who cheated on me when I was 15M contacted me, apologized and asked me out.

I was looking at dating posts and I've seen how many people support teenage cheating because they treat it as people who don't have "conscious" nor "seriousness" developed yet.

A girl who cheated on me, lied to me, disrespected me to my face and blew 2 college guys in the bathroom when we were still in high school, contacted me and apologized for her bad behavior.

I wasn't sure on how to respect and I just deleted her message and blocked her.

Some of my friends and family are saying that who cares about teenage past and that I should accept apology and date her now that she's more mature but others say that she hasn't changed and that I should date her and cheat on her to get back at her.

I definitely don't think that I could ever forgive her, I would prefer to just ignore it and move on but I will never accept the fact that "she was too young to know better" because I was a bit younger than her and I definitely rejected 2 other girls who asked me out because I knew that it's disrespectful and immoral.

What type is she?

She constantly says that she's a realist and that she doesn't care nor think about emotions. She only cares about immediate environment and what's in front of her. She says that she doesn't have internal imagination nor world and only cares what is real and she can touch.

She hates to talk about hypothetical scenarios, logical consistency and emotions. She tends to just talk about what she will do or someone else should do in order to improve their life or fix their environment. She constantly wants to work in the yard or fix things around the house or even just clean.

She is quite tempered and loses patience real fast and only wants results now, she goes head through the wall and refuses to learn but just wants things done here and now.

She has low emotional intelligence and refuses to talk about her emotions and emotions of other people.

She likes to talk about facts that she read and how world works and is but refuses to discuss logical procedure or truth of something. She reads it and claims it in very dry and matter of fact way.

She's very assertive when it comes to cashiers and waiters. She has no problem asserting her needs and complain nor blame other people.

She seems to value Se and Te but she seems to have absolutely no Ti, Ne and Ni but relatively decent Si.

She's hardworking and will always show sign of love through action or and doing things for someone or gifts but never use words of affirmation.

She focuses a lot of guilt, shame and image but doesn't care for status.

She cares a lot about aesthetics but is very hypochondriac despite pushing through hard work.

She often talks about equality and socialism which she is in favor of because she values hard work and being humble.

She constantly criticizes people for being immoral or corrupted.

I'm among LSE, SEE and ESI for her.

What do you guys think?

Why are so many people in society accepting of cheating and sexual assault when it's done by a teenager?

I've seen many posts make excuses and the behavior of teenagers cheating and committing minor sexual assaults because they're allegedly too young to know any better.

I definitely knew not to cheat and hurt other people, this is why I didn't even want to participate in hookup culture but it seems that many people condone this behavior to try and escape accountability.

I definitely knew not to cheat at 14, hurt people and I will definitely never forget nor forgive any ex that did that.

Society seems to take so much burden of accountability off of backs of teenagers but extensively punishes anyone above age of 20 and 30 for even smallest mistakes.

Teenagers have less experience and are less developed but are definitely conscious and rational humans, 30 years old will still not be as mature as 50 years old but it also depends from person to person.

What can you gather about me from my favorite albums?

I decided to gather some of my favorite albums in no particular order. What can you tell about me from this? Those were just some of significant ones that came to mind. There are many other ones. I tried to also extend range of genres or subgenres.

Uninstalled the game because of race mission.

I played original Mafia game back in early 00s and I remember the racing game but racing game in remake is way worse.

Spent 2 weeks trying to beat it and I'm always 14 out of 16.

Took me less time to beat Elden Ring and Dark Souls trilogy than this.

I'm considering buying Spira S-400 and I would like to know how they hold up after some time.

Does anyone have Spira S-400 and is it worth it?

I recently tested Spira S-400. It's made by Jet which is a local company or brand in my country of Slovenia.

It seemed like a very good guitar. I only wish that it had more of a flat D shaped neck instead of modern C shaped neck.

Is it good price to value guitar for those who have had it for a longer time?

Opening up to other people doesn't seem to work for men.

I see a lot of people say that men struggle because they just open up.

I see man men who tried opening up but people in their environment just refuse to acknowledge and validate them.

I tried opening up to friends and they called me gay and weak.

If I try to express my struggles to my family, they throw a shoe at me and tell me to shut up because men shouldn't talk about feelings and that I bring shame to the family.

I had 2 therapists who had dropped me. One said that she doesn't have time for my nonsense and another said that she's not qualified enough for my case.

I just go through spirals and ruminate for at least 12 hours a day.

I'm trying cardio and gym on daily but it doesn't work.

I just feel like vomiting and passing out from anxiety at all times.

I feel lazy and incompetent but I wish that I could feel normal and have a job and normal relationships but it seems impossible.

I was diagnosed with OCD and cptsd.

If anyone else is going through it, you're not alone. I feel your struggles and I believe in you.

[fully lost]Platformer with hunter.

I remember playing an old game back in 2004 on my cousin's old IBM PC in Eastern Europe which was full of old Dos games.

There was this one game in which you played as a farmer or a hunter. You had a gun, you had to do platforming and shoot people and animals.

It looked like Dangerous Dave but you started on a farm and had background music.

It was very old game that was on the quality of Duke Nukem or Jazz Jackrabbit.

I know that background was very blue and there was some cozy music and it looked like you were in Russia or Montana.
