I receiced one of those special offer emails to buy stocks on Monday. Weren't those supposed to go only to power users? I haven't done anything with my account since the API debacle and wasn't a power user before.

I feel like their rug pull before the ipo doesn't work that good. I hope the gme bros will short reddit to the ground, that would be the best end to Reddit I can imagine. Fuck spez.

I don't need a scientific study to know that most days I'd need my car for a significantly lower driving distance than the few long-range outliers.

The problem isn't a logistical of "Wow! Turns out I can commute with an EV because I don't drive 400 km to work each day! Thank you Mr. Scientist!" but a financial one. The large majority of people can afford one car, if any, and this one car has to work for everything. Do you think people are happy investing in a 20k or more EV when they still have to rent a car to visit their familiy over holidays?

If it's just for the sake of driving around town daily, EVs need to get significantly cheaper to be interesting for people with normal incomes.

Haha, also transfomiert ChatGPT zum passiv-agressiven Forenuser. Das Internet fängt wieder von vorne an.

Haha, they're pulling Black Flag so so that Skull & Bones has less competition.

I don't know I one should derive a scientific test out of it, but if a guy gets batshit crazy over the movie, then he might not have the best relation towards independent women.

It's comical how she uses the example of the printing press in her introduction. Are we really sad that we don't have to rely on monks copying books?

I hope I am not the only one with this "issue", but whenever I pick up my instrument (most of the time guitar) with a specific genre or style in mind, I struggle to write just something like that.

To give a little background info: I listen mostly to blues rock, hard rock, and alternative/garage rock I'd say. But for the longest time my music leaned more towards the blues rock side; slower (e. g. 80-100 bpm), very focused on the blues scale. These days, I want to create songs more in the vein of Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Motley Crue and the like but I struggle with the general feeling of those styles.

What are your tips regarding this? When I look up some actual songs, it's just I-III-IV power chord stuff or basic pentatonic scales again. So why do my powerchords not sound like that as well? Phrasing it that way makes it sound ridiculous, but I hope you get the point. It feels like I am missing the point that distinguishes let's say sleaze rock from classic heavy metal. Maybe I'm m overthinking it but it annoys me that my writing process seems to be very trial-and-error.
