for a few reasons: for one thing, some redditors are absolute weirdos and go back through your post history and troll your previous comments and posts. another reason is that if, like me, you have an older account without a randomly generated username, you likely have a username you've used on other websites. I've been recognized on reddit on several occasions because I've used this username on other forums. I'm ok with being recognized, but I like to keep SOME semblance of anonymity between platforms... and a third reason I have my posts hidden is because I post in regional subreddits, and as already noted, I like at least feeling like I have a degree of anonymity, and I prefer for random redditors (or the trolls mentioned in my first point) to not know where I live unless they are also posters in those regional specific subs.

yes, unfortunately the feature leads to bots and karma farmers and trolls to hide their botness/etc... but I really like it for my own sense of anonymity/security. Ixm sure folks can still find my past posts, but at least it takes a bit more work and commitment to do that if they really want to.

I'm a bit surprised that was never touched on or questioned. Unless everyone just assumes it was Abed?

Was this another universal Millennial experience?

Somehow I lost my Wurli power cord during a move. Is there a simple way to modify one of my standard AC connectors from other audio equipment to use on the Wurli, or should I just pay for a new Wurli cord?

I've met people who can't seem to understand the fact that I don't have a single favorite band, or movie, or TV show, or food, etc etc... In any category there are a lot of things that I absolutely love, I could probably narrow them down to top 10s (although even that is pushing it)... but everything is so situationally or mood dependent. If you narrow down the categories it becomes easier to choose single favorites, it whittled away the other top prospects... but in the broad categories that people are interested in, its simply impossible to rank one of my many favorites above the others.

I'm reposting this in a few subs since the most applicable subs are fairly inactive, so sorry if you've seen it elsewhere.

I'm considering selling my real Wurli and replacing it with an NE7HP... The upkeep/tuning on the Wurli keeps me from playing it as often as I'd like... but at the same time, I'm afraid I'll miss the 'liveliness' of a true electromechanical instrument combined with a tube amp. Are there any owners out there who can remark on the feel/connection they have with the NE7's Wurli/piano samples? What about the action? I'm guessing the action is geared to feel like an acoustic, whereas the real Wurli's is significantly lighter, which has a noticeable effect on how I play it. What about the amp sims/OD, and effects? Have any of you used the NE7 with outboard effects pedals or run it into a tube amp, how has that gone? Does it feel like you can dial in a signature sound, or do you feel like you sound like everyone else with the same instrument?

I'm waffling very hard on the dscision, my Wurli is my prized possesion, but whats the point of having it if I rarely play it? Its great for recording, but I've knocked it out of tune while on stage a couple of times, and that not only puts a damper on those individual sets, but also how I approach playing it on stage in general... I'm afraid to lean into it, and I wind up missing out on my favorite part of its sound, which is the barky/growly end it hits when you hit it hard.

Anyone else out there parted ways with a real vintage EP in favof of a modern digital? Do you regret it, or do you think it was a wise choice?

And a slightly different question, what is the most difficult fly you tie frequently?

(for example a quick 3 material fly with one difficult technique could be easier than a fly that has no difficult individual steps, but uses a lot of materials and looks bad if you don't have the proportions right)

For me, I think the most consistently difficult singke technique is getting even length tails with a proper split angle on small (sz 18-22) RS2s. I probably over think it, but I like my tails fairly short, and I like them symmetrical. For most difficult fly... I guess I don't have one, I keep em all simple and quick to turn out.

I listened to lots of 3rd wave in middle school and early highschool (04-08), but I've generally had constantly evolving tastes and am rarely deep into any particular genre for more than a couple of years before moving on to something totally different... but each time there are a few artists that stick around for the long haul. Streetlight is that band from my ska era. IMO they have a greater depth of musicality and in their lyrics than the other ska artists I was into, and I still find myself listening to a lot of stuff from Everything Goes Numb and Keasby Nights (yeah, I'm aware its a cover albjm, I prefer the Streetlight version) from time to time.

Do other people hold them in the same regard as I do? Compared to the overall goofy feel of a lot of 3rd wave ska, they just seem to take the artform to a totally different place, they seem to take it more, for lack of a better word, seriously. Do other people agree with that? Or is their different approach offputting or pretentious compared to their contemporaries? I'm just interested to hear from folks who listen to more ska than myself.

Just moved to Grand Rapids. I grew up here but have lived in CO for a long time and grew to love fishing moving water. Any suggestions for good rivers in the area to target smallmouth? I've been doing some research and have seen a lot of e coli advisories and I've got no clue if they're safe for wet wading.

We've had some of the best content I've ever seen in this sub over the past week... and half of the comments are people getting worked up about the posts/reposts. Learn to take a joke or don't click on this sub.

/rj learned how to credit card last week, I've been practicing daily ever since, and my wife and her BF are having the time of their life too.

I understand why its a through-line in the plot, but I'm really glad the writers and/or execs realized that the show is not at its best as a 'romantic comedy' which S1 seems to lean into much more than the rest of the show... I have no idea if thatbwas a big part of Harmon's initial idea behind the show or if the studio pushed him into it since thats a very popular sitcom trope... but the constant "will they/won't they" between Jeff and Britta, and the low level drama vibes between Britta and Slater eat up so much run time, detract so much from the actual comedic aspects, and really don't allow the ensemble cast to shine.

I'm just so glad the show evolved into what it became instead of being fully shoehorned into Jeff being the 'main character', rather than it being about the group as a whole entity. Yes, Jeff is still more of a 'main character' than anyone else in the group throughout the rest ofnthe show, but to a much lesser degree than in S1. We are so fortunate that someone realized the show worked better without a focus on Jeff's romantic life as a constant through line, and that it was allowed to evolve in format into the show we know and love. It very easily could have been a much more generic show if its focus hadn't shifted, and we never would have gotten the approach that truly makes it special.

I've been doing some research on places to fish in SW Michigan (Grand Rapids and nearby) and have noticed that a LOT of the streams and rivers have E. Coli advisories... Like, almost the entire Rogue watershed for example. What is the general concensus from fisherman on the potential dangers of that? Is wet wading something I should avoid in general in those waters? Or should I only be worried if I've got cuts that will be in the water? Obviously you don't want to ingest it (I'm guessing hand sanatizer is a must if I'm going to be snacking while fishing)... but whats the degree of safety for skin contact?

Define era however you want to, the only definitive and inarguable delineations are pre-hiatus, post-hiatus, and reunion... but those are such broad swaths that they're really useless in differentiating between the huge number of sonic approaches Phish has taken at this point.

Last week we had a large discussion about the influx of posts from "music theory" app developers, but there hasn't been any acknowledgement from the mods about that thread. I just thought I'd post how r/synthesizers mods are taking an active stance on their version of the issue. Like many on this sub, I'd love to see the mods take a public stance or at least acknowledge the opinions of the users on this sub about the possibility of changing the sub rules.

I have noticed a downturn in the frequency of those posts since that thread, so perhaps the mods are taking a more active role but haven't acknowledged it... but I'd love to see a direct post from them regarding the issue, and possibly a stickied thread or explicit change to the rules about the issue.

This is the last (and second) post I'll make on the subject, as I want to see this sub remain as a place for actively discussing music theory, but I think everyone who contributed to the previous thread would love to see the mods give a direct explanation on how they will handle the issue going forwards.

I'm an active angler and I also like feeling like I've got the best chance I can have of getting some bites. That means I wind up moving around almost constantly, and I also really prefer to be the first person to cast to a certain spot. If I'm fishing with other people, that means I'm either the selfish asshole who has to be the first to get their line in the water at every spot, or I'm annoyed that I have to share thise spots with someone else. I like getting fully "into it", I don't really enjoy having a conversation while I'm fishing... fishing is what I do when I'm getting away from conversations.

Yeah, every so very rarely its fun to just hang out with someone I like and fish more casually, but 95% of the time I'm a man on a mission and would rather fish alone. Its just not a great social activity for me. And although I'm ok with that on a conceptual level, I feel bad about the fact that I have friends who fish and want to fish with me... but I generally don't want to fish with them and subsequently feel like an asshole for either not inviting them out (and sometimes embarrassingly running into them on the water), or for saying no when they invite me out even though I might actually go fishing that day.
