Ahh, there's the context that was missing.



Sounds like blaming the listener for his own shortcomings. His mixes are mushy and indistinct, probably because they're too busy to begin with.

mono in recent years has made a big comeback at least with playback gear, for the most part it is little bose wave radios [no stereo separation in something that small] and amazon alexa speakers.

I've heard quite a bit about the need to check things in mono when one is mixing, and that's one of the reasons people tend to give.

judging from what i've heard, a lot of engineers aren't doing such a good job of that, a lot of mono songs i've heard on portable one-speaker playback systems sound hollow [ a sign of cancellation caused by poor phasing in mixing].

when i'm on the litterbox and someone has the nerve to pound on the door, open the door, or anything like that.

when i'm in an enclosed location like the bus and someone's coughing. esp if they're umasked

when precious lil "people" bark @ me for every slightest thing i (allegedly) did wrong, but when they do something i don't like, i don't have the nerve to tell those ass holes.

loud music

personal questions

idiots talking and screaming way too loudly.

annoying lil dipshits making unjustified expectations and assumptions.

"friends" that make positive judgments about me and expect me to say "thank you", like they did me a personal favor by telling me "you are smart". but that's condescending, judgmental, and manipulative. everyone is "smart". it means nothing. and for him to say "you are smart", implies that he has a moral right to assess/evaluate/judge my intelligence (or lack thereof).

when precious lil "people" have the nerve to touch me.

JWs standing at the corner hoping to steal Christmas from their next sucker.

'Hey, I learnt how to do this thing and I'm excited about it!'

'You mean that super basic thing we all learnt as kids?'

'Well I didn't. I was supposed to, but, well, life happened'

'Well, I mean it's not exactly impressive'.

Oh shut up. It is to me, because unlike you I wasn't taught this. Maybe to you it isn't all that game changing, but it's important to me and I should get to be happy about it.

Let people be happy about learning new skills, even if it's at an older age than expected.

/rant over.

when you have salad at cafes or restaurants and they put the red onion in the salad even picking it out doesn't take the horrible taste away.

Roller blinds on windows. WTF is up with them? They have huge gaps on either side where laser beams of light come in and defeat the purpose, plus they're impossible to open / shut where you want them. They're always open too much or not enough, or you have to pull them all the way down to the ground before they'll catch to be closed.

When you have an account for a profile on social media for many years then one day you're logged out and you try to log back in, but they send a confirmation code to the email tied to your account and the email address has been defunct for years, it no longer exists.

new cars so low-slung that there is no headroom in them for anybody taller than about 5'9"

When I order a Shrimp Alfredo and the shrimp still has tails and shells still attached so I gotta get my fingers dirty with Alfredo sauce trying to peel them.

Low profile tyres and lowered cars. They can't even make it TO my driveway.

People bringing Trump into things that have nothing to do with politics. I nearly left WP over such an incident. I've decided to stay and find my own place on WP.

People who say that men don't cry. Maybe they do in Germany.

Is it men or women who are always crying at funerals? Who gives a damn!

When you remove a drawer from a dresser, and it refuses to go back on the track.

Curtains that are never wide enough and you need multiple on one narrow window.
Curtain rods that telescope and move when you open / shut the curtains.

Undertones in paint colours.

Automatic cat litter boxes like Litter Robot.
They aren't good for cats.
Also who has such a giant empty space or corner in their house?
It also has to be right beside an electrical outlet?
Do Litter Robots come with mansions, for their $1000 price tag?
