    "MeDiEvAl PeOpLe DrAnK bEeR iNsTeAd Of WaTeR bEcAuSe ThE wAtEr qUaLiTy WaS cRaP!!" Okay, I will grant that the Medieval Period wouldn't be fun live in all the time, but that doesn't mean the people were stupid and had no ways of getting access to clean water. Our modern filters are still based...

    "It's a movie, not a documentary" Typically this is a response where I point out a minor flaw in the movie, that completely breaks my immersion and willing suspension of disbelief. Like in Whiplash, where Andrew punches through a snare drum head, and the amount he's bleeding from practicing...

    Guitar specific one here. Inside the necks of many guitars is a rod called a truss rod, and its purpose is to provide reinforcement for the force the strings put on the neck, what we call "relief." Now, the proper relief for a guitar setup is based namely on the string gauge and tuning you...

    I find it amusing when people look at ancient texts translated from its native language into English and it's clear the author was using metaphorical language, and people still try to take it literally. Like people believe the Ancient Greeks couldn't see blue because Homer describes the sea in...

    It literally depends on which version of Superman we're discussing. If it was say Goku with Ultra Instinct versus say, Cosmic Armor Superman, then Cosmic Armor Superman (one of the most powerful versions of Superman) would beat him easily. Some versions of Superman would lose to Goku, some...

    During versus debates, I really don't like it when the OP of the versus debate says something like, "speed equalized," or other such. The issue with that is if you have to nerf a character's actual feats to make the fight seem more fair, then it's clear who the winner is. Like, in a thread...

    "Is this amp, pickup, guitar, or whatever good for metal?" I know they're newbies, but with guitar equipment, there's no such thing as a guitar being made for a particular style of music. That's because the guitar is a versatile instrument, you can play whatever you want on it.

    Well, I have my opinions, I'll state why I personally like something or what I felt. But if you don't like it, you don't like it. Ultimately, that's your feeling about it. I may disagree, but mileage will always vary. :shrug:

    That one particularly irks me, it's like they're trying to justify their artistic preference as if it's something objective like science or mathematics. But art... isn't really objective in that sense. How you feel about art, whether it's visual or musical is completely and totally subjective...

    Yeah, I have anxiety, and don't worry is one of the most unhelpful phrases ever. Grounding techniques and mindfulness I find are far more helpful and practical.

    "JuSt Do YoUr ReSeArCh!" *They say as they're blissfully unaware that their "research" is equivalent to just Googling for links that support their preconceived notions, and not looking into actual research on the subject they're ignorant of and have the balls to speak on.* Sure, do your...

    Dumb comments you often see or hear

    Usually when an older guitar player when I'm showing them that they're wrong on some advice they gave that would lead beginners and intermediate players astray (who don't know any better, yet), they respond with, "You'll get it eventually." It's such a patronizing comment, like, motherf*cker...
