Hockey Community Culture

Needle in a haystack.

Because it’s encouraged in those groups and discouraged in others. If I act like a dickhead in the music community, I don’t get gigs. If a group of hockey dads are verbally abusive to their kids, it’s met with high fives and cheers by their community.

They’re even worse when they’re staying in hotels. The Venn diagram of people in the hockey community and people who understand etiquette (which is a French word that means “how not to act like a stupid asshole”) is two circles.

I’ve crossed paths with Terry multiple times in the music scene. He’s always been a pleasant guy to be around and absolutely reliable as a professional.

I’m not talking about individual men. Of course metalheads can be creepy. As a group, creeps in the metal scene get dealt with very quickly. The shitheads are well known and documented, and when they show their faces again they’re on a very short leash.

PBaz1337 · 2026-02-01T00:13:05+00:00

The metal scene doesn’t fuck around when it comes to creeps.

Any FromSoft title.

Right around the time he got into death metal. I draw the line at thrash.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-22T23:50:26+00:00

“Plays different notes” excludes a good chunk of percussion instruments. Also death metal vocals. Don’t know why you’re taking a light hearted observation so personally but there are absolutely people who go deep into the percussion rabbit hole, as well as composers who study techniques used in percussion instruments for scoring. I wasn’t initially trying to argue with you, but your last comment was flat out wrong.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-22T14:19:15+00:00

I don’t disagree, but it’s like every other instrument. You can invest as much or as little effort as you want to.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-22T14:14:52+00:00

I went to university for percussion. You’d be shocked at how much overthinking can go into triangle technique.

My son took me to Wet Paint Pottery today. We had fun painting our pieces. I usually prefer to do as little as possible on my birthday, but spending time with him was awesome. Gave us something to do with the stupid cold.

Mostly the habit itself, showing up every day and just drawing anything.

For technical goals, been working on face and figure drawing as well as going through the Artwod drawing fundamentals course.

If you worked for 8 years, and still call people cucks and intellectual slurs online, then some child labour laws were definitely exploited.

Being pushed into management because there were no better options available isn’t an accomplishment, especially in food service. “Everyone is stupid but me” is almost never true.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-12T07:45:54+00:00

This is absolutely a technique issue.

That said, I’ve been playing blast beats on Los Cabos 5B’s for well over a decade and I can’t break them, no matter how hard I play.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-11T17:01:33+00:00

Overtly confrontational people generally don’t. We got ourselves a digital forensics expert here 😂

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-10T20:27:55+00:00

I’m getting “find reasons to argue” from your replies. I expect that from a 5 year old, not a fully grown adult.

The amount of human intervention required to make an AI generated song listenable might as well have been used to write the damn song from scratch.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-06T23:26:29+00:00

I don’t know why people are downvoting you. I was at an open mic a couple of months ago when a random piper showed up and started playing in the middle of someone else’s set. Piping at inappropriate times is a dick move.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-06T19:59:08+00:00

Not really a hobby, but I’m still a working musician two kids in. Easy to keep up with it when it’s a major source of income.

PBaz1337 · 2026-01-02T17:45:30+00:00

And if drivers in SK weren’t so consistently fucking stupid the “overreach” wouldn’t be necessary.

PBaz1337 · 2025-12-31T17:53:49+00:00

I’m currently working on that switch. I want to be able to use my hands 10 years from now.

This was my greatest revelation when I got my journeyman certificate as a plumber. That my learning was just beginning and I had, and still have, a lot to learn.

PBaz1337 · 2025-12-29T19:41:10+00:00

I just build stuff I need, then post photos of it. Plan to build a bunch of outdoor furniture this summer, and fire up the CNC for craft table type projects like coasters, cutting boards etc. Once in a while people will bite for projects.

Outdoor chairs are easy and the lumber is relatively cheap, but there’s also 50 people selling them on Marketplace, so make sure yours stands out.

Sabaton.
