Copacetic has an interesting history. I heard about it in a video I can’t currently find, but this article gives some history: wordorigins.org

You just don’t get it, you keep it copacetic…

I play bass and I always just listened to the song for 3 hours straight while figuring it out, writing down on makeshift sheet music the parts I got worked out. Could take hours or days depending on the song

Amazing folks can just run it through a program today, slow it down, I bet there is tech that can just, tell you the notes.

Amazing. I still learn manually this way lmao Sometimes I would just be fucking around and hit a spot, and suddenly realize thats part of a song I know, and it would all click into place.

Teaching my son to play guitar/read music this year and the tech today is so good. Hes years ahead of me when I was first starting out.

No tips, cuz I dont know the tech, I’m just impressed how far the tech has come in the last 25 years.

This absolutely. I’m a 5’1" lady, and I do like my partner to be taller than me, but basically everyone is taller than me.

If you lined up every man I’ve dated over my lifetime, you’d see men from 5’2" to 6’4".

The right people are there for the person, not shallow bullshit. Hygiene is the best indicator, yes. Good hygiene, nice person, you’ll find success.

When my now husband told me he was 6’3" my jaw dropped. Sure I was happy (he can reach the top shelf for me) but I seriously wouldn’t have batted an eye if he was shorter

Date kind people, not shallow cunts and you should be okay.

I dated one guy who told me he was 5’10". He was kind of a cunt. He was actually 5’7". It just showcased his insecurity. I didn’t like that. Wear yourself with pride. No one choses to be short/tall. Accept yourself and others will too.

:(

As a mother I don’t really care for mothers day either. Nor do I care for Valentine’s day.

I am a mother everyday, and I love my husband everyday, I don’t need a capitalistic holiday that requires spending money to celebrate this.

I’ll take the cake on mother’s day, but mostly it’s for my kid and husband feel good for doing something, not because I expect it. Corpo holidays can fuck off wirh their expectations, yes

Thank you for saying this. You’re absolutely right. I posted this with fear in my heart this morning.

Thank you to you and everyone here for helping me keep strong.

It doesn’t matter if he’s the one being taken away or not, he could still witness it, I could still traumatize him. He could try and fight one of the officers, because my son has no sense of fear and an inflated sense of justice often. These are his friends and classmates.

Trump is tageting the neighboring town for having a trans athlete. Last week, my town was pointed out for being a sanctuary city. Compiling fear.

Trauma doesn’t make a person stronger. Trauma doesn’t guarantee radicalization.

Thank you for pointing this out to this commenter.

Love it, thank you.

Im so glad there was a place to vent my worries today. Y’all are awesome.

Yeah, after the initial shock this morning it’s easy to understand this is fear mongering. My state is fighting it.

We are long standing Americans, we are at minimum fourth gen, to basically English settlers depending at what grandparent you look at- but it’s still terrifying.

These are his friends, his classmates, mostly puerto rican… but… no one should live in fear.

Me too. We shouldn’t have to live like this. No one should live in fear, yet so many do across the earth. We gotta support eachother now more than ever

I agree no younger than 13.

Knowing my son, it wont be until highschool for us, at the earliest. A middle school boy showed my son how to look up naughty words on Spotify/the internet. So, big nope from me.

We do limited supervised access only for educational purposes. The internet is a tool, and my child dont need that in his pocket.

I/we have never felt social pressure to get him a phone. He’s today 12. He makes friends everywhere he goes. Right now in this life stage I have a focus on teaching internet safety, how marketing works, and how to spot reputable/non reputable resources.

You don’t have to own a phone to learn how to use it properly. I didn’t own my own computer as I learned to use one as a kid.

Supervised access exists, and parents are responsible for teaching internet safety to children.

Your college experience is a you thing. My much younger BIL did his first year at college this year, and thanked his parents for not letting him have a lot of screen time growing up because he can see the addiction in the people around him.

This is the evil shit

I too have my best existential crisis while in the shower

I like my junk pile of analog human experience

I slept nearly 12 hours last night, woke up, had a panic attack, then took a nap for four hours.

Woke up, put on The Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour, danced and cleaned my house happy.

It’s also been a long time since a nap like that worked so well. Sometimes ya just need to sleep.

I laughed too, until I raised a toddler with ADHD. He wasn’t diagnosed yet, but lord was it obvious he had the markers. Never leashed him, but definitely ran after him a lot, and had to keep a hyperfocused eye on him at all times.

I don’t laugh as hard now, I still giggle, but just not as hard

Which is different than starting over entirely

My vote was against rump roast, not FOR the Dem running office in 2020.

I’m not for any candidate standing against Medicare for all and the working people.

So yeah they won, but not because of love for the party.
