"Letter" to Line 6 about Helix Stadium and Acoustic Guitar

[paisleywookiee]

Usually I'd agree, but in this case I think it'd be cool to have them combined (with an option to have things as separate blocks as well - just as what's possible with amp, cab and amp&cab blocks).

Normally I’d agree with you, but I’m enjoying being contrarian.

off topic, but yeah this is getting so annoying. And in music gear too: I recently asked a certain guitar pedal company a quick question about a pedal of theirs, and they emailed me back an obvious AI answer which referenced a wiki and reddit opinions, complete with a "Bottom Line:" summary at the end. Very off-putting (and didn't answer my question).

What grinds my gears is people getting annoyed when i refuse to read their AI slop.

Dude, if you put zero effort into writing something, don't expect me to put any effort reading it.

My dear fellow, what truly vexes my spirit is the indignation of those who take offense when I decline to indulge in their mechanized drivel.

If one cannot be troubled to summon even the faintest spark of genuine thought or craft in one’s prose, one ought not presume that others will squander their time and attention upon such soulless contrivances.

Yeah, absolutely. ESPECIALLY when it's such a clear copy-and-paste. At least edit out the weird headers and stuff like that lol

And in the case of that "support" I received, it was especially annoying because they did that instead of answering what were two simple yes / no questions, and them typing in the prompt, copying the (incorrect and unrelated) answer, and pasting it into the email probably took just as long or longer than just answering them. It didn't even seem to be automated since it came a full day later.

Allow me to expound upon the grievous consternation that besets my intellectual faculties when confronted with the egregious temerity of certain individuals who manifest palpable vexation upon my resolute refusal to immerse myself in the perfunctory, algorithmically regurgitated pablum they so cavalierly proffer as discourse.

My esteemed compatriot, should you elect to expend a lamentably negligible quantum of cognitive endeavor in the fabrication of your textual offerings, pray, by what divine mandate or logical imperative am I, a paragon of discerning erudition, obliged to squander my precious intellectual resources in the arduous endeavor of deciphering such lamentably insipid and uninspired concatenations of verbiage?

Man, we’re gonna really piss off Lysander

 

[Digital Igloo]

I just wonder how many people have skipped over my emails—y'know, because I use a lot of m-dashes.

Pissed? I've been laughing my ass off, thank you

Not me — I read 'em!

Oh okay, that’s good. Everyone has their Victorian limits.

Too verbose, overuse of em dashes, filler idioms ("and maybe enough by itself", "let's face it") and the itemized structure;

Exactly what rang the bell for me also.
