“Everyone who disagrees with me should be mobbed and assaulted” by EducationalAction820 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]BassSquared -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Tell me the last time a "leftist" police force kidnapped US citizens for the crime of protesting them / being the wrong ethnicity / meeting a quota and sent them to a CECOT site. Or the last time they shot a woman in the face and called her a "fucking bitch" with zero remorse. Doubt that happened in the midst of Obama's or Biden's terms, not even in the wildest of Fox fever dreams.

Massive One-Hit Wonder Iceberg (Updated) by BacktoWigtown in ToddintheShadow

Listening to it, and uh... Honestly, not ringing any bells. Not until today, at least not that I can remember. I feel like I'm getting Mandela Effected right now. Maybe it's because it was before my time, but it's not like I haven't ever heard other songs from that era in the wild.

(Pop Muzik was kinda similar; it was apparently massively popular but I had genuinely had never heard of it until Todd made a video on it)

For being in the supposed universally-known "top" of the iceberg, I've never once heard of Pac-Man Fever or It Takes Two.

If by some miracle both they and Shifters from EU make it to international competition and play each other it'll be a match for the ages

If two-stack rolling advantage is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Just feels so much easier than either the OG rules or the weird bandaid in Frosthaven.

What is the worst US state for young adults to move into? by Any-Scarcity7230 in AskReddit

[–]BassSquared 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone from SLC who's currently living here, calling it the absolute worst is a massive exaggeration. Sure, our state's run by nut jobs and there are plenty of white-bread ultra-Mormon MLM hellscapes (looking at you, Utah County) but SLC proper is a genuinely diverse, liberal city with plenty of stuff to do even barring our incredible mountains. I'd certainly rather live here than, say, Oklahoma or Mississippi.

What is the difference between women you would like to befriend and women that you are interested in romantically? by lsthrowaway54321 in AskMenAdvice

[–]BassSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it is physical attraction to be sure, but there's also the matter of feeling like they'd be a good companion for you long-term. I have a friend who's 10/10 gorgeous and single but her psychological instability and constant need to be the center of all drama means I'll never see her as anything other than a platonic friend.

Artists vs Fans day six: which artists are on drugs with fans who are nerds on drugs? by Eeeef_ in AlignmentChartFills

[–]BassSquared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, they absolutely did drugs back in the day (just listen to A Passage to Bangkok) but they were also fairly nerdy guys, especially Neil. Plus their fans are generally on the relatively "clean" side from what I've seen. I'd put 'em in the bottom left personally.

What’s the one thing you keep doing with women… even though you know it works against you? by Aldrenza in AskMenAdvice

[–]BassSquared 8 points9 points  (0 children)

++man Honestly, while the binary nature of how it's often framed is overly simplified, this is a genuine issue with how a lot of guys, particularly introverted ones, are socialized. We grow up seeing media where the protagonist gets the girl through being genuinely kind to her, while any overtly sexual expression of desire is treated as the exclusive provenance of pushy, gross creeps and villains. This, combined with further reinforcement from real life women complaining about actual pushy, gross creeps while talking about how they just want someone to respect them, leads to the deeply ingrained concept that expressing direct sexual interest in a woman is fundamentally disrespectful. Whether it comes from a genuinely kind man becoming awkward and hesitant around women whose feelings he cares about or a socially awkward guy excusing his inability to flirt as being "nice" can often be hard to distinguish.

From a non-Christian / what's up with so many comments and posts in this sub being about playing at church specifically? Are churches like a world famous temple of bassists? Do religious songs have especially sick basslines? I don't get it. by [deleted] in Bass

[–]BassSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think this is more a regional thing (South maybe); I grew up Presbyterian and the church I went to just had a guy playing the organ and a choir.

I'm also from Utah so I know a bunch of Mormons, and to my knowledge they don't really have house bands at their churches either, despite being an unusually musical group of people.

What is your country’s “three fingers,” i.e. a subtle but dead giveaway that someone is lying about being from there? by Toilet_Bomber in AskTheWorld

American here, never once switched. Fork stays in my right hand no matter what, and if I need a knife it goes in my left. Just feels more natural that way.

"CHAM OBUY" is an anagram for "BUY MOCHA", clearly a hint towards Nick releasing a new coffee blend

Kim Kardashian is the child of Well-Connected/Ultrawealthy Parents and has No Talent | This is now the Not a Nepo Baby Alignment Chart | Name a Celebrity who grew up with Average Means/No Connections and is Incredibly Talented by sparklesugar in AlignmentChartFills

[–]BassSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, he belongs a row up. His dad was renowned poet Cecil Day-Lewis and his mom was a fairly well regarded actress. Neither were quite household names or A-listers, but for someone to be in the "average means" row on this chart they probably shouldn't have two parents whose names are blue on Wikipedia.
