I have no idea how long chorizo lasts in the fridge because it's always the first thing that gets cooked.

I'm experiencing a weird thing on Tiktok where it's pushing REALLY HARD to get me to watch acoustic guitar players. I'm an electric guitar enthusiast. I mark acoustic videos as "not interested" 100% of the time. And yet I'm fed an acoustic guitar player every 4 to 7 videos. What is going on here?

Cleaning and reorganizing a bunch because I bought a new shelf and I discovered 3 extra sets of D'Addario NYXL. Having a really good day.

"I was today years old..."

No you weren't. Newborns can't speak yet.

Where the fuck is everyone getting all these bingo cards?

A client of mine had a brilliant idea I'd like to popularize, so fellow devs, you should now name your error logs "blooper_reel".

That moment your autocorrect all too correctly thinks 'sweetheart' should be Sweetwater because you're a musician and look up the cost of gear far more than you compliment people.

This one time, I introduced myself to a friend because I couldn't tell who she was while she was wearing aviators. She took them off and I was like "HOLY SHIT, JULIE? WTF JUST HAPPENED HERE?"

So yeah, the Clark Kent thing is believable.

What is up with the unmitigated flood of Radiohead on social? Not a complaint, just an observation.

I just saw on Tiktok a guitarist use her vibrator as an improvised e-bow.

Musicians, we have to start forming bands again.

There is some comfort to my ego to know that I'm never lying, I'm just wrong.

"You know who you look like?"

Dude are you really gonna casually reveal to me that you can't tell the difference between Asians?

The absolute panic and retching from reading a post titled "HELP MY NUT IS DETACHED" and the relief of "Oh, that's from the guitar subreddit"

Free idea for fantasy writers:
All knights have the title "sir".
Sir = masc
Ser = fem
Syr = etc

The distinction is only in writing. Verbally, it's all "sir".

Walked into Guitar Center to get exactly one thing and didn't walk out with more picks and strings and cables and I consider this personal growth.

Figured out a mnemonic for Leo XIV:

XIV = 14, as in Final Fantasy XIV

On the one hand, this is geniusly targeted ad copy for a niche audience. On the other, WHY YOU GOTTA CALL US OUT LIKE THAT, @daddarioandco.bsky.social!?

All of you are throwing in the hypothetical scenario "For $5 million, you have to win a fight against an anime character, who do you fight?"

Everyone picks fighters. You're not thinking outside the box.

It would feel terrible, but easy million -- I am soloing Hamtaro.

I've been working with a client for 6 months and we just discovered TODAY that we've actually known each FOR DECADES being from the same indie rock circuit in the 2010s...! I lost touch with everyone when I did a stint in corporate America.

Can I file my bidet as a tax write off?

> Have a quiet, not very talkative client
> Makes sense, they're not very corporate
> Wait, they're an LGBTQ+ non-profit. Could I bring up politics?
> They become talkative, we commiserate about living in a dystopia
> I'M IN

That self gaslighting moment in web dev when you can't get the styles for the masthead to load properly because you accidentally `id="meathead"`.

Xwitter's algorithm is horseshit. I literally only follow musical instrument manufacturers, vtubers, science, and news. It keeps trying to push me down the alt-right pipeline. It completely ignores me marking things as "not interested".

I wish more creators just posted their news on here.

It's evidence I'm still alive, and that's a silver lining, but it still doesn't feel great to be heartbroken.
