  • Do it. Dad used to have essentially a replica of Neil Pearts setup, while cool as he’ll to look at, it’s a pain in the ass to maintain and it annoys the shit out of anyone nearby.

    Once he made the switch 10 years ago to a Roland mesh E Kit, the entire houses demeanor relaxed. Plus it doesn’t take up an entire room, and you can swap sounds on the fly.

    Real kits are nice for live or jamming out sometimes, but you’ll get infinite more use out of the Ekit


  • Worked for a company that was entirely JWs, some of the most genuinely nice people I ever met, but knowing the whole process behind the scenes and how constrictive the lifestyle is, it was always off putting.

    I was never witnessed to other than just general inquiry to get to know me in passing by coworkers. But their doctrine basically states that if I’m not a JW, I’m a non-person. I don’t know how many of them believe it, but still.

    They all have designated zones to do their “service” so if you refuse they’ll still come back because they believe their ticket into heaven is to convince you what they say is true.

    If anyone else who reads this ever has problems with them coming to their door, best way to get them to take you off their list is say “I’ve already been excommunicated from another kingdom hall in (insert town from 2hr+ away)”



  • Totally fine, work is work, you decide what you want to do with your life and if that fills the gap more power to you.

    We need more regulation though, like Amsterdam where if you’re working you have to get weekly check ups, and psychological counseling should be freely available.

    Sex work is a good industry but it also harbors trafficking which needs to be cracked down on hard.
