She told me almost exactly the same thing. Although I do share that sentiment, I didn’t trust her with anything that would really give out my real world identity. OTOH, I trust @zyklon_b with all manner of personally identifying info. LOL! But it’s true.
While I have you on the line, I keep reading you mention that Beatle’s alleged address was previously publicly posted. But I don’t recall seeing that on Voat, nor anyone linking to it. Is this a double standard? Is srayz still being given a pussy pass to “get even”? What do you think of Voat tolerating this sort of behavior @crensch? (I presume your defense of it will be along the lines of ‘Wild West for thee but not for me’.)
I'd be fucking baffled if she felt this was somehow compromising for me, or information she could use as leverage against me.
Once she saw it and had her fun for a few hours, with the other lady mod over there, it died down. Seeing my dick doesn't make her special. A surprisingly large number of people have seen my dick.
As for the drama, I've made it a point to keep away from it. The only winning move is not to play.
No, getting paid is a problem, Remember I told you I was going to be working all week this week. Well that got cancelled at the hast minute and they are not going to compensate me at all for having that work on my schedule which meant I passed on other work that was available. Now the other jobs that were available for this week are of course taken by others. Its a fucked up situation. Im not happy about it. I did find one other job for today to install a router but when I got to the bank they had no router for me to install. And now the company doesnt want to pay me for that one either. Like what the fuck
I dont really like to make excuses, so, maybe I am crazy. I only get so much time to spend here on this planet and I'm going to spend as little time as possible doing things simply to make money. I'd rather spend my time with the people I love. So that's what I'm going to do. That's what I do, do. And I dont give a fuck what anyone thinks or says about me or what I do with my time and my life. I do what I want to do.
I dont know why, I guess cause i could have made enough working all week to have all my bills paid for the rest of the summer and not have to worry about that, now i'm going to have to go to work sometimes to pay the bills.
I do enjoy most of it, so there's that. It has gotten to the routine stage, where the performances all blend together. The only thing that changes are the venues.
There are parts I don't really care for, but it isn't easy to articulate. It's routine and even the audiences generally look pretty much the same.
The lights come up and I rock them until the lights go down. On either side of that is droll blandness and mindless waiting.
But, I do like it. Mostly.
Sometimes I just need to bitch about it, even though I have it pretty good. I didn't even go supervise them setting up the stage last time. Before I went on, someone had already put my guitars on the stage, in order. There was even a bar stool waiting if I needed it. I didn't even load the guitars back into my car. Those came home with EH and J.
But the band's on the bus
And they're ready to go
We've got to drive all night
and do a show in Chicago
Or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came
That sums it up nicely, except we don't have a bus - yet. I do have my eyes open for a 17 passenger van.
Yeah and most bands do the same show night after night, to the fans it's a special event, but to the band its just another night of the same thing as the night before and the night before that
It's actually two different songs. It's "Load Out" and "Stay." They run the two together.
It's kinda like Sugar Magnolia and Sunshine Day Dreams being considered a single song, or Eruption being played right into whatever it is, etc... (I'm kinda stoned so Mr. Short Term Memory isn't helpful.)
Just note that when you click context, you only see the two people involved. Like this thread, I replied to Buddha, but it doesn't show up when I clicked context on one of his comments. Sometimes they branch off and you don't see them.
Nope. That just expands (makes wider) what the context does. You have to go back to the full thread and find the comment thread again to see it all (I think). Like in this thread, I could see your comments up to when I opened Buddhas ping, but from that point on context only shows him and me although you had a bunch of comments in between.
I thought Putt had quit his job and was doing Voat full time now. Wonder why everything seems to take so long. I'm sure there's a lot more than meets the eye, but he's been working on that Vote feature for over a year and done a few tests on the preview site, but it's still not here. Sometimes I wonder what is really going on behind the scenes but in the end it's a free site and I'm just glad to be able use it when I can.
Oh, I'm sure the pressure is intense. I've spent my time as a youth championing causes and being enraged. This stuff now is even more intense and the "truth" is now available so easily to all. I need to stay up on most things for my kids but damn its tiring. That's why it's rare for me to comment on anything outside music, I just don't have the energy anymore to discuss stuff, I don't have much of anything new to offer, and my typing sucks. That's why I envision myself as "the fool on the hill sees the world spinning round."

She was pretty keen to see my dick pic.
I'd be fucking baffled if she felt this was somehow compromising for me, or information she could use as leverage against me.

crazy_eyes ago
LoL they asked but i didnt send one, what the fuck would i do that for. its funny that you did though
TheBuddha ago
I posted my x ray and you could clearly see my dick in it.
Why? It was funny. It's just my dick, nothing serious.
Well, it also showed my smashed femur.
crazy_eyes ago
yeah, every guys got one, no big deal to me
TheBuddha ago
I don't even have an estimate for how many folks have seen my penis. I'm not sure I can even estimate how many women it has been in.
crazy_eyes ago
as long as im not one of them i dont care
TheBuddha ago
I'm pretty sure you're not on the list.
crazy_eyes ago
Im pretty sure I'm not going to be
TheBuddha ago
That seems like a reasonable assumption. I've been more than sixty years without sticking my dick in guys. I don't expect that to change.
crazy_eyes ago
LoL I would sure fucking hope not
TheBuddha ago
I can't think of a reason to change. Getting laid is not a problem.
crazy_eyes ago
No, getting paid is a problem, Remember I told you I was going to be working all week this week.

TheBuddha ago
Maybe you might want to seek regular 9 to 5 shit? I dunno.
crazy_eyes ago
you must be out of your fucking mind
TheBuddha ago
No. I'm sane. I wish I were crazy, because then I'd have a good excuse.
crazy_eyes ago
I dont really like to make excuses, so, maybe I am crazy. I only get so much time to spend here on this planet and I'm going to spend as little time as possible doing things simply to make money. I'd rather spend my time with the people I love. So that's what I'm going to do. That's what I do, do. And I dont give a fuck what anyone thinks or says about me or what I do with my time and my life. I do what I want to do.
TheBuddha ago
That's all well and good, until you can't pay your mortgage! LOL
crazy_eyes ago
I dont have a mortgage, my home is all paid off. So there
TheBuddha ago
Well, that's a bonus. Do you still have beer and gas money?
crazy_eyes ago
of course, and we have electricity and running water and internet and food and weed
TheBuddha ago
Then why are ya bitching? Take the week off and get nookie every morning, after breakfast in bed!
crazy_eyes ago
I dont know why, I guess cause i could have made enough working all week to have all my bills paid for the rest of the summer and not have to worry about that, now i'm going to have to go to work sometimes to pay the bills.
TheBuddha ago
That would be nice. All my bills are paid, but I still have to work.
crazy_eyes ago
You singed the contract. At least it's work that you enjoy
TheBuddha ago
I do enjoy most of it, so there's that. It has gotten to the routine stage, where the performances all blend together. The only thing that changes are the venues.
There are parts I don't really care for, but it isn't easy to articulate. It's routine and even the audiences generally look pretty much the same.
crazy_eyes ago
Does changing up the set list help to make it more non-routine?
TheBuddha ago
Not very much.
The lights come up and I rock them until the lights go down. On either side of that is droll blandness and mindless waiting.
But, I do like it. Mostly.
Sometimes I just need to bitch about it, even though I have it pretty good. I didn't even go supervise them setting up the stage last time.

Those came home with EH and J.
crazy_eyes ago
It seems like its the waiting around thats the worst part of it
TheBuddha ago
But the band's on the bus
And they're ready to go
We've got to drive all night
and do a show in Chicago
Or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row

Yeah and most bands do the same show night after night, to the fans it's a special event, but to the band its just another night of the same thing as the night before and the night before that
TheBuddha ago
For many years, that's been one of my favorite songs.
crazy_eyes ago
what song is that and who is it by?
That ain't turn the page, which is similar, but i hate that song for some reason, it annoys me
TheBuddha ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scsJZ67ssDY
crazy_eyes ago
Oh yeah, I remember this one
TheBuddha ago
It's actually two different songs. It's "Load Out" and "Stay." They run the two together.
It's kinda like Sugar Magnolia and Sunshine Day Dreams being considered a single song, or Eruption being played right into whatever it is, etc... (I'm kinda stoned so Mr. Short Term Memory isn't helpful.)
crazy_eyes ago
you really got me?!?
or like the mothers day song leads into she's a whore!
TheBuddha ago
That's the name of it!
Also like We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions.
crazy_eyes ago
good one!
No sugar tonight and new mother nature
TheBuddha ago
Nice!
We need @cynicaloldfart. I bet he knows more of them.
crazy_eyes ago
I had to rack my brain pretty hard to come up with that last one
intruder and pretty woman!
TheBuddha ago
Are those normally played together as one song? I think I've always heard Pretty Woman as just a single.
I repeat the fact that I'm high as balls, just in case.
crazy_eyes ago
they blend together on the album i think the radio might have played them together back when they were new but not so much anymore
TheBuddha ago
I'd absolutely not trust my memory right now.
crazy_eyes ago
are you all fucked up today?
TheBuddha ago
I am. I've not consumed booze, but I'm high as balls.
crazy_eyes ago
nice! I been smoking weed too all day I came u with a cool riff but i forgot it
TheBuddha ago
I should write something.
crazy_eyes ago
hell yeah you should!!
TheBuddha ago
I have a mission, this week. So, it will have to wait or I'll have to share multiple tricks.
Also, I like how we just hijack random threads and post what we want. Fuck 'em, I'm a rock star!
crazy_eyes ago
by the time we get to this point of a conversation the page gets so skinny its unreadable anyways
TheBuddha ago
When it gets like that, I click link and start anew.
crazy_eyes ago
I did not know you could do that!
TheBuddha ago
https://voat.co/v/whatever/3270891/19133283/
As an example.
crazy_eyes ago
here i thought that you and I were the only ones who could actually read those messages in the inbox
TheBuddha ago
You can just click the link and the nested comments are readable again.
It comes in handy.
I also use the context link, but that's just because I smoke pot.
crazy_eyes ago
i have used the context one a lot, just cause i dont always look at the messages and dont know what they are about without it
cynicaloldfart ago
Just note that when you click context, you only see the two people involved. Like this thread, I replied to Buddha, but it doesn't show up when I clicked context on one of his comments. Sometimes they branch off and you don't see them.
crazy_eyes ago
i guess thats where that link one would be helpful maybe
cynicaloldfart ago
Nope. That just expands (makes wider) what the context does. You have to go back to the full thread and find the comment thread again to see it all (I think). Like in this thread, I could see your comments up to when I opened Buddhas ping, but from that point on context only shows him and me although you had a bunch of comments in between.
crazy_eyes ago
Oh ok, an idea for voat maybe. @puttitout
cynicaloldfart ago
Yeah, it would be nice to have a "start thread from this point" button. I also would really like an "expand all".
crazy_eyes ago
I agree, expand all would be great too, especially on those that are huge
cynicaloldfart ago
I thought Putt had quit his job and was doing Voat full time now. Wonder why everything seems to take so long.

crazy_eyes ago
Hey as long as the site stays up putt can be as slow as he needs to be.
It's been two weeks since he put up the wild west sticky post and he hasn't been active since. Maybe he took a vacation
cynicaloldfart ago
Oh, I'm sure the pressure is intense. I've spent my time as a youth championing causes and being enraged. This stuff now is even more intense and the "truth" is now available so easily to all.

crazy_eyes ago
there's a song in that saying! The world sure can get a man upset with the insanity of it, you got it right you just got to let it go
TheBuddha ago
That's a handy feature.
crazy_eyes ago
it sure is
