  • For me it’s toner for printers: I have a Brother laser printer at home that is not heavily used but at least once a week. I thought I’d save some money when I bought some cheap ass toner from Amazon that cost about half of what a original Brother toner costs and promised something like double the capacity.

    Oh boy… I had the worst mildly infuriating two years of printing you could imagine: always disappointed of the printing quality but not THAT disappointed to replace this shitty but still at 2/3 capacity toner. I paid money for that toner so I’d squeeze every last page of shitty quality prints out of this fucking toner!

    Last week I gave up and bought an original Brother toner and it’s a bliss. 🙄

  • Hey, of course I don’t know your financial capabilities and the height of your allowance but I encourage you to not give up on your intention to learn bass guitar.

    I don’t know where you’re located and what possibilities you have to find used instruments but here in Germany you can find used bass guitars on a portal called “Kleinanzeigen” (the German equivalent to Craigslist I think) for very little money or for free. Just keep looking.

    Also on our big instrument online shop “thomann.de” you find beginner bass guitars for less than 100 €. I am sure you find similarly cheap bass guitars where you live.

    Long story short: Don’t give up learning an instrument and have the courage to ask people around you to support you.
