The Confessions Thread

-You must not have been convicted of a criminal offence or been ordered to undergo enforced psychiatric treatment or care (good conduct requirement).

To what degree I wonder? I feel like this should be on a case by case basis. In America, people of color are fucked all the time by our legal system and then they can't get jobs just for minor drug offences or even something they didn't do. Seems like it should be a case that is at least reviewed. Also people can recover from psychiatric issues and stigmatizing that but not allowing them to live somewhere seems kinda shitty. In some cases those rules are good but I don't think they should be so rigid.

...Don't wanna spend precious space time in cryo sleep, will be awake for the ride...

I read that NASA almost has cryo sleep ready.

I like playing bass with thin picks.

Like food? Typical order of operations is 1. Starch, 2. Protein, 3. Veggies. Sauce either goes before or after everything depending on whether or not it's primarily for the protein. There's always exceptions, but this should get you there in most cases.

I think you've had to have done some pretty fucked up shit. As you might be aware of, our prison system is quite liberal...

I mean the more esoteric aspects of it, like the techniques for laying out sauces and purees artistically, what nuts/seeds/microgreens/etc to use for garnishment, etc.

[D.o.S.]

Get a toothpick, alternate sauces, profit.

Confession:

I'm in desperate need of money and have made up my mind to sell all of the gear I'm not using.

Can't get myself to actually do it.

Yeah, I've gotta sell my wah and my vintage eq. But I don't use either. I hardly play guitar at all anymore since the band I play drdrum s in took off.

I also am going to apply for a credit card but that was something I planned to do anyway. Just going to use it for groceries and gas to bbuild credit. I use my debit card for that stuff anyway. Might as well charge it on credit and pay it off right away.

Right, or is my understanding of credit cards wrong?

[D.o.S.]

That is one safe/good way to build credit, yes.

[KaosCill8r]

Another good way to build credit is to purchase gear with 6 months interest free finance. Then pay it off before the 6 months is up. You only end up paying a tiny little bit of admin fees on top, but no interest. They send you bills each month with minimum repayments, but what you do is pay a lot more than the minimum each month to pay it off quickly. Like if the bill says $25.00, then pay $60.00.

I'm going on vacation tomorrow but I just want to stay home. Eff.
