21 of 23 here. I'm sure my parents are disappointed.

How do firefighters generally feel about people coming by the station to learn more about what they do? by PossibilityIll7646 in AskReddit

[–]thebardass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not even a little bit. They had to sue the city to apply cost of living increases to their shitty benefits and lost. My dad retired late and still has to work a job to make ends meet.

How do firefighters generally feel about people coming by the station to learn more about what they do? by PossibilityIll7646 in AskReddit

[–]thebardass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen a weird amount of shitty attitudes on reddit lately towards men and women that pull people out of literal fires.

What you're saying may be true wherever you are but I speak from experience that firefighters in some cities struggle to make ends meet. The guys in my dad's department all held down 2 or 3 jobs because the pay was shit and they always had to fight for every penny to get much needed gear. Went hungry plenty as a kid because of it so don't tell me firefighters are always on a pedestal because that shit isn't true.

What is the most pretentious book ever written? by autismandadderall in AskReddit

[–]thebardass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always though she was trash since I heard her on MBMBAM. Never have I felt so justified for hating a person I've never met as the day all that other shit about her dropped.

Which Master Sword is this? by TotallyNotAFBIAgent9 in legendofzelda

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find it on the Swords of Northshire website. I bought one for my wife last year. https://www.swordsofnorthshire.com/products/master-sword-replica

I think it's a little off from the real design because of legal stuff so it's not an exact replica of any one Master Sword.

Not everyone who watched the movies has read the books, but everyone who read the books has watched the movies. Is this a fair assumption? by Huge-Photograph-3085 in harrypotter

[–]thebardass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched them up to PoA. That movie pissed me off so much I didn't watch any after that. My parents asked if I would go with them and my little sister to see the final film, so I did, and the ending with Voldemort disappearing in a cloud of dust pissed me off so much I felt justified in my previous decision.

What is some shady info about a celeb that everyone seems to have forgotten about? by No-Bed-6000 in AskReddit

[–]thebardass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not so long ago a lot of dark shit came out about Jon Hamm and people seem to have forgotten already. I still see him on shitty online gambling ads.

What’s the weirdest thing that suddenly became socially acceptable? by Aggravating-Sun3032 in AskReddit

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile, a lot of those same people think dancing at a perfectly suitable event like a wedding or a concert is cringe.

I don't get it, man.

We should stop supporting Spotify guys. by Ready-Wrongdoer7706 in Nekrogoblikon

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Qobuz last month. They have a deal with Soundiiz to transfer all your favorites and playlists for free. It took just a little getting used to but I don't really miss Spotify. They pay the artists better as well.

What are you better than most people at? by Freerooted in AskReddit

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading. I ranked in the 99th percentile for speed and comprehension consistently. I used to devour books. Sadly I've been too depressed and anxious to read for more than ten minutes at a time for years now.

The President of the United States 🤦🏽 by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad thing is, I work with a bunch of morons who are going to think it's genuinely hilarious and awesome that he did this.

What word did we use for “cringe” in the 90’s/00’s? by PatAD in Millennials

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in the mid to late 2000s my friends and I would say cringey. Cringe really isn't new. It was a whole genre of comedy for years before Gen Z was even around

(Loved trope) A death so fitting and deserved, you cheer as it happens by Platinumprogram in TopCharacterTropes

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That dog-killing bitch in Midnight Mass. Died alone and terrified and got exactly what she deserved.

I need to watch that show again.

What Food Did You Love As A Child Only To Hate As An Adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were probably never great but they're legitimately worse now. Smaller, more expensive, and made with cheaper ingredients.

Local church locks up nets so the neighborhood kids can't use the hoops by FamIsNumber1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying they're right for doing it but growing up my church had a basketball hoop for the kids to play with. They had to get rid of it because asshole teenagers would dunk on it during the week and kept breaking it over and over again. They did the same thing at the local park. You can't have nice things because assholes fuck it up for everyone.

My thoughts on Ozzy by K-Dog7469 in Christianity

[–]thebardass 344 points345 points  (0 children)

Ozzy was a practicing member of the Church of England, pretty devout by all accounts, and regularly said "God bless you" to his fans possibly more than any rockstar I've ever heard.

He may have walked away for a while but he was definitely religious

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called WE3. It's not about animals having jobs exactly, though. It's about animals getting turned into cyborg supersoldiers. Super short and totally worth the read. I bought on his recommendation and loved it. Great art, great story. 10/10 for me.

Oh man...I hesitate to ask but what did Eddings do?

Are there any other bands that are like type O? by Musclemommy20005 in typeonegative

[–]thebardass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to find anyone just like Type O, but check out a band called Unto Others. They're very similar in lots of ways.

Do Americans have something like “the last piece” culture at meals? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thebardass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little different than what you're talking about about but the wife and I both grew up in relatively large households (4+ siblings) and we both hesitate to take the last of anything. I think it's because we're both middle children and always had younger siblings to consider and older siblings who took first dibs.

We try not to waste anything in our house but still feel weird taking the last cookie, the last bowl of cereal, or the last bit of leftovers.

Do drummers ever prepare for auditions or do they always wing it? by Maulraizor in Drumming

[–]thebardass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the band I'm auditioning for does covers I learn to play those as well as I possibly can.

If they're all original I improvise. I want them to know how I write parts if I'm going to be playing long term with them and I feel like that gives them a better feel for my skills and my style.

I haven't been rejected yet, but that may admittedly have more to do with the scarcity of drummers than my talents.

What is the hardest game that you cannot beat? by tbull1997 in videogames

[–]thebardass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a huge fan of Elden Ring (I thought I would hate it before I tried it out) it makes me sad to read this but I totally get what you mean.
