Things that piss me off

[Phoenix87x]

I usually just cover anything with sauce with a paper towel. usually gets the job done, but it does suck when it explodes

When you're listening to a podcast or radio interview, and the guest, being interviewed on the phone, is significantly lower in volume than the host of the show, requiring you to constantly adjust the volume or just accept being uncomfortable. This seems to be a consistent problem with almost all radio interviews.

Kind of in this realm. How about watching a sports ,or police, or whatever type of press conference and they can try as they might, but never seem to get the volume of the press to be even close to the volume of the interviewee/speaker. Then they try to adjust in mid sentence every time and fail miserably and I turn the volume up and BOOM!!! Too loud, then they adjust, and I adjust, and shhhhhhh....too soft. I understand how the mics are situated and all, but c'mon, it's 2017.

Piggy backing... when a commerical comes on with a volume level twice that of the content being interrupted.

[King Postwhore]

Yup.  I hate that.

[Kotowboy]

When you give your friend a present for their birthday or give them some money because they're broke

and they can't just accept the gift. They insist on paying you back.

It's like saying " I don't appreciate your gift "

Cheers.

Spotify is brutal with that.

Listening to a song then suddenly *SUPER COMPRESSED UKULELE MUSIC...HI DO YOU LIKE MUSIC ?!?!?!? "

[TioJorge]

I really cannot fathom what mother cunting dipshit originally thought of that and why others thought it was brilliant. Not that I don't IMMEDIATELY mute that shit, but even if I listened to it or just turned it very low, I'd immediately boycott whatever shit they were marketing just on principal and as a nice little "fuck you". For real, how the concept of the "loudness war" ever started and why anyone thinks louder equates to getting your super genius marketing worm in anyone's ear is completely beyond me. It's ridiculous to think that a nice, chill, still audible commercial would do wonders for the marketing world. What kinda fool...

"Boss, studies show people get really pissed off at our product when our ads air and nearly ruins our potential customers speakers because our commercials are so loud..."

"NO, FARQUAAD, FUCK THEIR EARDRUMS WITH OUR SOUNDWAVE DICK, IT WILL MAKE THEM BUY OUR PRODUCT!!"

[Kotowboy]

I'd rather pay £10 a month for no ads than on whatever they're whoring.



In fact...


I do.

You're pissed that Bieber has a .01 point higher rating? That seems a bit silly.

How about the fact that TA had more reviewers. That count?

[IDontNotDoThings]

Yeah, this isn't something that's really worth being pissed about, I just laughed about it. 

[ReaperKK]

Also people have different tastes in music

Not pissed, just annoyed.

.01 isn't much, true, but considering it's Bieber it's a lot. The fact that a Bieber album has a rating close to a Dream Theater album is just ridiculous.

Really? I had no idea.

It's also DT's lowest rated album

[black_biff_stadler]

To be honest and fair, The Astonishing is considered miserably boring by a decent chunk of their fans.

[Adami]

I'm also not sure I'd be too jealous (or angry about) a 2.56/5. That's basically a 50% approval rating.

[black_biff_stadler]

But DT must always be held in higher regard than all pop because prog is empirically good and pop is empirically bad.

[NoseofNicko]

and who said that exactly lol? I like a lot of pop, but that Justin Bieber album is atrocious IMO.

[Adami]

But DT must always be held in higher regard than all pop because prog is empirically good and pop is empirically bad.

I wanted to call this BS. I wanted to call this hyperbole.

However, I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. So I did extensive research into the matter, and even conducted multiple double blind experiments and found that yes.....prog is empirically good and pop is empirically bad.

You win this round Floyd!

[Progmetty]

Titling individual posts fucks with me every time Adami hehe

Why is that ridiculous? 

More people like Beiber than DT, and that's not even up for debate.  That YOU like DT better means nothing in the grand scheme of things (nor me, nor any one person).  There is nothing objectively "better" about DT, unless you are talking about one specific metric, like "number of chord changes per album", or "number of notes per song".   

Things that piss me off?  People that assume because something is "popular" it's de facto bad, or because they like something it's de facto "good".  It's all just music.

[Stadler]

Something else that pisses me off:  when someone - like Adami - figures out how to do something that is cool as shit, and that I want to do, but I didn't figure it out for myself first.  DAMMIT!

 

[King Postwhore]

If I ever cared about Rolling Stone magazine rating Rush albums growing up, I'd never listen to Rush.  Who cares about rating.

NOW we are. 

I just made my first cheesecake (I'm a sucker for a piece of NY cheesecake and a cup of coffee after dinner) and it came out AWESOMELY, but I want to take it to the next step. I tried a raspberry sauce that was pretty good, but it doesn't keep very well.

It just shows how meaningless those sites are no matter how many times people here pretend like it means something.

When you bite into a Mozzarella stick that's a dud and there's no cheese in there. Its just the fried/breaded shell.

I've had that too...........how the hell does that happen? Does the cheese just...slip out before they fry it and then they close up the hole?

[black_biff_stadler]

Probably bleeds out into the fryer.

[BlobVanDam]

I bet if you cut me open, I'd bleed cheese too.

What kind of cheese?  That's important

I'd watch a vampire flick if it was about immortals that survived by sucking the cheese out of their victims.
