Sometimes I Just Need a Break from TB

[AB Nate]

Need a break from Talkbass because you can’t stand discussions about that list of topics?

What would happen if you ever witness a child suffering from malnutrition eating garbage, or some guy killing an elephant just for fun?

I would also suggest a break, but please make sure you use the time to go out and experience the extremes of life for a while.

Or perhaps just not hit the click bait and go poop

Whoaa!

 

[fcleff]

Maybe the content took up too many megabytes and slowed the other threads down.

Sorry, sir. Didn’t mean to make you moderate.

I poop at every gig.

 

[bordinco90]

You forgot to mention when a bass plays like "butter"!

 

[Serious Ganja]

Hey my buddy from the Whiskey thread!. Hilarious Bro!.

 

[fcleff]

and there are those who just want to pee on everyone's parade.

 

[fcleff]

Seriously. What is this, Talk Anythingbutbass?

I guess I needed to prefix my post with an announcement that my tongue was lodged firmly in my cheek. Or that, ”The following is posted in a spirit of fun and is not to be taken seriously.” I implied that with what I wrote at the end of the OP.

FWIW I am the survivor of a couple tornadoes that killed 57 and 16 people, of earthquakes that cost people lives, homes and jobs, of a landslide with fatalities, of a war that I’d rather not go into detail about, ... and a little more. My life has been good over all but not 100% peaches and cream. I suggest that there’s value in knowing a bit before climbing onto a high horse.

Belittling what someone else does because it’s not what you’d do
- if you were in a band
- if your band had a gig
- if you had the money to do what you slagged someone else for not doing
Stores that don’t give you deeper discounts than rumor says they gave anyone else
Online stores that don’t absorb shipping costs, both ways when you return it
New threads asking the same inane questions asked in a dozen other threads
Expecting (demanding) replies that match or support your own prejudices
Larding on intermediate music theory in answer to a beginner’s question
(corollary: quibbling about theory among yourselves once the OP is driven away)
Opining that everyone needs to learn music theory
Opining that no one needs to learn music theory
Snarking that something is easy when a new player is having trouble learning
Refusing to accept that your fave strings don’t work for everyone on every bass
(They’re clearly doing something wrong.)
The shipping company’s routing of products shipped to you
Purple silk on flats?! What were they thinking?
No matter how talented, skilled, famous, accomplished or admired a player is, they need belittling from someone who has trouble locating more than two E notes on a fretted bass
Cliff Clavin-style pronouncements about any topic

There! The pot is stirred and waiting only for someone with a match.
“Hey, Mods! You may hear about this thread before long.”

Rock is DEAD!!!!!!!
The live music scene is DEAD!!!!!!

Looks like the OP hasn't found any of the fun threads.

Genz Benz is the best amp for metal.

No. He made one.

Oh my lord, how this thread has made me laugh.

I think you are confusing this forum in which you have placed your grievances for the actual grievances. The things on your list are not off topic. But whatever. Enjoy your night (doubt you will as you don't seem the type).
