@Jans - Phone users need not comment. PC Master Race.

@Batlord - Yeh true, but there are also similar threads in the specific genre forums that do the same thing. I've found lots of great rap recommendations, I don't visit the metal forums much.

you guys act as if your attention is some sort of worthwhile commodity that can be withheld as some sort of convoluted tactic of attrition warfare. you would be wiser to watch my videos without question and consider yourself lucky for the privilege.

Oh man jwb! Quoting yourself is the ultimate expression of self-indulgence! :laughing:

I hate being sucked into the whole dark, weird conspiracy-theory section of Youtube.

Nothing I hate more than seeing...

The Pubes - Hairy Forest



...and no video to go along with it. I don't usually have YT opened in a tab so I have to go an do that just to hear a song. F*ck that. Your opinion can be valid in sorts, but it's picky as hell and really didn't deserve its own thread. People are debating though so I guess have at it.

So where is the link to the hairy forest?

Janszoon 08-07-2015 06:32 AM

I worked super late last night. Whenever we're there late, this guy who sits near me always decides it's time to take off his headphones and play his prog for everyone to listen to. Ugh.

RoxyRollah 08-07-2015 06:37 AM

Do you work with TH?

Believe me, the thought has occurred to me. Also, apparently I'm so tired that I posted my complaints here instead of the bitch box.

Frownland 08-07-2015 06:56 AM

I thought you had a video ready to match your description of your evening.

Maybe I'll make one if I have repeat of the experience tonight.

Frownland 08-07-2015 07:00 AM

Take in a set of your own headphones and beat him to death with them if he does it again. Or you can fight fire with fire and see how well Yes blends with Gridlink.

Last night I considered doing that with the Passenger of Shit album I was listening to.

Why don't you ask him not to or turn on your own music to show him how obnoxious it is?

RoxyRollah 08-07-2015 07:34 AM

I think you should choke him with the cord to the headphones.JUST MY OPINION OF COURSE.

Black Francis 08-07-2015 09:00 AM

Violence is not the answer.. snitching is the answer.

Report him to your superiors Janzoon!

Accidentally spill your drink of choice on the source of the irritant.

A little prog rock goes a long way. If more bands were true to the progressive part of their name, I bet the genre might be tolerable.

I feel your pain bro. I say a lot of things in a joking way only for it to fly right over Ki and his Batlord's head. http://www.myemoticons.com/emoticon-...y/fly-away.gif

The Batlord 08-07-2015 04:31 PM

So are you being passive aggressive as well?

Lisnaholic 08-07-2015 04:33 PM

Within limits, everyone is entitled to their own style of posting of course, but I personally agree with OccultHawk's OP as well as these two opinions:-

Some kind of comment about it goes a long way toward piquing my interest.

I'll tell ya what i do dislike, i dislike half assed OP for threads that only have a youtube video to explain the damn thread, that or when the OP feels lazily written and vague.

^ Actually, both of these points are covered in an excellent guide to posting etiquette that was composed years ago by Freebase, I believe, though I can't find the thread at the moment.

Not always, but in general, I'm too lazy to click on YouTube clips that people are too lazy to introduce in some way. I'm here to enjoy music and discussion and something posted without comment doesn't really encourage discussion. In fact, they can give the impression of being arrogant or unfriendly, ("My taste is so good, I don't have to explain it."), though I freely admit that that interpretation may be down to me and various old-fashioned notions about writing.

On the positive side, I'm happy to see that some conversation killers have actually fallen out of fashion; Do you remember these:-

'Nuff said.
End thread.

I say things in real life in a joking way to suggest something, but it doesn't always work. It only works if the other person cares. If they don't care, whether you say it directly or indirectly it really doesn't matter, because they don't care!

So basically, no one finds you funny.

I think he was politely telling you to quit being such a pussy. This dude listens to prog. How threatening can he be?

DwnWthVwls 08-07-2015 07:44 PM

Mentioning it in a joking way is neither direct nor speaking your mind. Pussy :D

I think I may be the only one who finds you legitimately funny.

RoxyRollah 08-07-2015 07:58 PM

Wait Im on the fence hes like 50/50 funny. His emjoi are gold tho...

DwnWthVwls 08-07-2015 08:08 PM

Nea is excellent. Weird humor, but I enjoy it most of the time (and when I know it's meant to be a joke).

Speaking your mind in a humorous way is not speaking your mind. Got it. I will yell or shed tears in the future.
