i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

man i been nursing this gripe for a while, but once on the bass sub, someone made a post about how their parents kept discouraging them in pursuing their hobby, and this absolute freak showed up and ranted about how they're a lazy piece of shit who needs to grow up, and anyone who was supporting them just had daddy or mommy issues they need to get over. he was very vehement and angry and would reply to anyone telling him to chill with needlessly personal barbs about how their parents probably hate them for a reason. Of course, as a responsible Chapoposter I checked the comment history, and he had a long history of getting insanely angry and rude over the tiniest disagreement, often accusing other people of being aggro and sensitive.

anyway i found his posts on an incest roleplay sub and linked it to him and that pretty much ended the discussion.

fry Taking about fishing, or playing an instrument?

the instrument. admittedly bass players are exceedingly neurotic and insecure, which is why it's all the more important to be nice to us.
