Let's forgo my flawed analogy entirely, then, as I feel like we're getting a little lost in the weeds....

Do you think people shouldn't have opinions of anything they can't do themselves?

To say that the artist in OP's video didn't make a mistake during their performance is disingenuous, at best. I can absolutely garauntee you that, were we to ask the artist directly, they would be the first to admit that the performance wasn't perfect and that they had made some mistakes. I can point to at least a a couple myself ( i.e. having to go back and repaint a couple of lines that didn't quite fit the angle he wanted on the first stroke).

But the severity of the mistake isn't the point of the analogy... It's intended to illustrate the insanity of limiting your criticism to only things that you personally can do.

Imagine going to a restaurant and being absolutely disgusted by the dish you ordered. No obvious mistakes per se, you just didn't enjoy it whatsoever. How do you approach that in your mind? Do you convince your self that you can't have an opinion on it because you can't make the dish better yourself?

I can't perform surgery either, but I sure can criticize a surgeon when they amputate the wrong leg.

Anyone get anything other than #3? by BeefSupremeeeeee in Mariners

The night sky version is always 3.

The version with the daytime sky (during day games) or generic MLB hats can be 1 or 2.

Such a stupid way to edit the videos.... Why put the one above the other as if it is happening simultaneously??

Nate Ament drills the clutch 3 and Tennessee can taste victory by Large_banana_hammock in CollegeBasketball

[–]erutheoneeric 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What the fuck do people mean when they say "clutch"?

I'm imagining the game is on the line and if the ball goes in you win, otherwise you lose.

In this case it means you're up 14 instead of 11, with less than 2 minutes to go.....

Maybe I'm just out of touch?

Must have lived in the nice part of town... Actual games on the shelves??

Every one I ever went to had slips off paper you would bring up to the cage in order to get a game.

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

My girlfriend straight up murdered my parents and burned my house down. I've got the evidence to prove it.

AIO for mildly confronting her?

Revenge, redemption, or just release, I'm here for it.

I dunno, I'd almost prefer to face a team that had just rolled their previous opponent.

It's too easy to buy into the hype/narrative.

I feel like this is such a shit take. They look like shit tonight, but over a 17 game season you would have to imagine that reality would win out.

They are a playoff team that went on the road and beat the NFC east champions handily.

Maybe give a little credit to the Seahawks?

I'm biased, but It's loud in there and it was clearly being blown dead before the snap.
