D'awww Ruthie. You always know how to bring me back around.
-
Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

I'm lazy so I'm more of a chord guy.
Lend me your meatflute and I'll play you a song.
It’ll free you up to play leads- just like clapton!
Big Blaze, giving some nobody the business. Big Blaze.
You must not have gotten the Big Blaze memo, funster.
Big Blaze, musical connoisseur, Big Blaze
I wouldn't worry too much with memorizing. Incorporate practicing scales if you haven't yet. It helps with dexterity and speed and the memorization will just happen naturally.
Rote memorization of notes always seem boring as shit to me.
Say memorization again.
Bluegrass is great, you have to pick fast and keep timing well. Also its just fun music. They have yodeling for pete's sake!
Can you learn and play Layla for us?
Fawk yeah! Sick Fuckin' Puppies cover band. The Unwell Shitty Kitties.
Best outlet in the world is music.
Are you cross? Depressed? Devoid of any humour, maaaaannnn? Make some music! Cover if you have to, don't feel like a Joseph Colleen if it's all in fun, but the real enjoyment is making something of your own. You don't have to create a "Suppers Ready" 20 minute epic, create something short and simple, even if it's just an instrumental. The fulfillment you get from it is something I can't even put into words. Because YOU made that.
ANYONE CAN DO IT.

That's cool. Looking forward to hearing your cover of "Oh Dara." If you need a pock-marked, dried-out California Raisin with moss on his head to do the vocals, I know a guy.
I started piano lessons at 4 and continued till 13. I can't play for shit anymore.
edit: it's not like I kept it up. I ignored it and it went away.

I started to really hate my guitars over the last few months. almost a life time of playing on and off and I can barely keep pace with simple tabs.
my best advice would be to start attempting to train your ears if possible.

The fact that you said words instead of thoughts bothers me.
I started playing guitar when I was 28. It was something I always wanted to do but never got around to it. Then one night I was in my apartment alone and the next five years of my life flashed before me and I got to thinking about a wife, a house, kids, lawns to mow, snow to shovel, youth sports taking up every free minute of every weekend, etc and I decided right there if I was ever going to learn to play the guitar I had to do it "RIGHT NOW."
Bought a cheapo acoustic guitar starter pack with a tuner, extra strings and ...... literally ...... a book about chords. I taught myself to play using the book (no lie) and have loved every minute of it. I really wish I started when I was 13 and took some lessons along the way, and understood alternate tunings other than Drop D. I don't try to impress anyone or play outside my house, but like I said really enjoy it. AND yes I DO have a Digitech looper. Actually three different digitech multi-effects units that all have built in loopers.

I learned how to play by learning songs I liked. If you think you're a fag, this is one that I wanted to be able to play:
Decent site for tabs: https://www.songsterr.com/
Anyway good on you, playing any instrument is PFG.

I've used that site and it's pretty good but I've been using this faggots lessons to learn the basics and as gay as he looks he really breaks it down well and I've been flying through the lessons. I can actually feel myself improving which is PFG.

I had prior music skill from taking piano when I was young and dicking around on a bass guitar when I was in high school so maybe that's why I'm learning fast so far. I also picked up Rocksmith not as a tool to learn the guitar but with all the custom songs people have made for it to make tabs a lot more enjoyable. I'm not skilled enough to really play it yet but it looks alright so far definitely wouldn't buy it without the custom songs though. I just know 8 basic chords so far but can name any single note on the fretboard I play after about a week of playing so far.
good taste, sir
