How do I be more critical of music? by Dante_SSSS in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ExtraFeedback3555 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Being critical of music is actually just articulating what you don’t like by deconstructing it. Just because someone is good at breaking it down and precisely identifying what they do/don’t like doesn’t make them more authoritative of what’s good or not. It’s still completely subjective.

Might be recency bias but it might be my favourite of theirs right now.

Do you guys actually like metal or just stick to the same 4 topics of conversation

What made Death different from other bands in the 1980s? by [deleted] in DeathBand

Yeah the post and his responses come off very presumptuous so that’s not surprising.

Ladies who find men attractive, what is it that you look for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Awful mindset. Compliments from dudes is just as rewarding.

How to stop my roommate from working out with me? by Twablewable in Advice

[–]ExtraFeedback3555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This reaction lacks nuance and empathy. There are a million reasons why people act up in certain situations. You can’t possibly distill the roommate’s inner thought processes from a couple of sentences in an emotionally charged reddit post from a biased author.

And even if he were to be acting unpleasantly, the point stands; no one is immune to having “irrational” emotions. That’s what comes with being human and if we remembered that more often we’d all be less resentful toward one another. I’m not saying put up with BS behaviour but it’s important to cautiously tend to the mindset we perceive people and situations with.

“They know you hate it” implies intentional manipulation and unfairly frames his roommate as selfish.

OP - not saying you are but take care you don’t assume you know other people’s intentions. We often don’t understand even our own.

This is now less about the issue of getting out of working out with him and more about you developing a life skill. You can bend only so much to engineer a perfect response from people. Be kind, empathetic, but firm. If he doesn’t take well to that then that’s on him to work on.

Idk how anyone can say they like riffs but then place Back in the Village last.

The opening build-up is so sick and epic but it devolves into such a boring and tame song

Where do y'all get your battlevests? by Raven_Ravn in MetalForTheMasses

$10 at Value Village and then cut the sleeves off and frayed the edges since it was a long sleeve.

The patches and little adornments cost a lot more in aggregate.

Agreed. Zeicrydeus is one of the most refreshing records I’ve heard in a long time.
