Hi, I'm Cullen. I'm in my 50s, and this is a reasonable area of doubt and uncertainty.

Hell of a loss.

I'm glad to se that the majority of respondents (thus far) agree with me that the world started a massively downward spiral around the same time.

How cool is this? NECA is doing a run of movie poster-based figures. I had to get this one when I saw it.

Why should I have to prove to a legal entity that I am not the person who received a ticket in a different state? Shouldn't the burden of proof of identity be on them?

I received a letter in the mail some time ago that said I received a ticket in a different state, missed a court appearance, and was responsible for some fine. I initially wrote this off as a scam, but after receiving another letter a couple of weeks later I did some due diligence searching and found out these are legit letters. The law firm had been hired by several states to issue letters to folks like the person for whom I have been mistaken.

I called the law firm and after a lengthy conversation, they said they were going to remove me from their list and I wouldn't receive any further communications from them. That turned out to be a lie as I received a notice that I would be issued a bench warrant if I didn't respond.

So, I called the city municipal court and after a lengthy conversation, I had to download a form to prove my identity, get it notarized, and mail it as a certified letter.

I can't imagine the problems other folks go through for significant infractions and mistaken identities.

To add a little more context, my first and last name are fairly common first names, but also fairly common last names. In any bureaucratic environment I've encountered, my names have often been transposed. This sometimes leads to me getting information or requests for someone who is named with my name transposed. This is the first time I've had a legal issue with it, though.

Logically, my brain understands that looking back on a photo like this is the same time difference as when we were in the 90s and looked back on photos from 60s, but at the same time I don't understand it because to me it still feels like the 90s were only like 10 years ago.

It's wild to me that we don't have specific descriptive words for different kinds of tone (in English anyway). I mean, rather than relying on metaphor, timbre-specific words.

And even in non-English languages, I'm not sure they get at what I'm trying to get at. There are a lot of words for "light" and "dark" tones, or "clear" and "muddy." But they don't quite get at it when I describe a guitar tone as *round* or *full.* I think most people understand what I'm saying when I say that, but here's an example of what I would consider a very *round* tone:

If I was dialing in the guitar tone to my personal preferences, I would look for something *crisper* and more *cutting.*

Perhaps all of these descriptors are a shades of "light" and "dark" and "clear" and "muddy," but it feels like there's more nuance to it than that. Given the above instruction, a sound guy might just up my treble and/or presence and that's not entirely what I mean when I say I want a "crisper" tone.

And then there are terms we use for describing a guitar tone like "woody."

And don't get me started on all the terms we use for different kind of distortion and overdrive.

Accidentally acquired myself a sugar mommy except she also doesn’t have any money so she just goes and steals stuff for me. Feeling very loved.

Living your best life.

[antiqueoldshow]

Yeah, my girl, she's one too. She'll go and get her a skirt. Stick it under her shirt. She grabbed a razor for me. And she did it just like that. When she wants something, Man, she don't want to pay for it.

[antiqueoldshow]

Man. This is a gut punch.
