          Really? Neat. At least compared to the monotone I’ve got. I mean sometimes it harmonizes with the sound of electricity in wires or air moving through heat vents, and starts warbling, which is incredibly obnoxious, but that’s about it.

        Nope. I don’t care what inconvenience you think that is, having complete command over my favourite field of art means that would be worth it, you privileged git.

        This comes across the same way as Adam Neely’s “you don’t want perfect pitch bro, because you’ll eventually lose it”. Yeah, instead of having my career be a software tester, I could have had the world of music as a career , oh no.

          my dude i had perfect relative pitch before i got tinnitus. being able to hear a pitch doesn’t give you complete command over a field of art, literal blood sweat and tears does and it still only guarantees mediocrity. get over yourself.

            I don’t think I did anything but show myself as a humble and lowly person, why does my comment match this response?

    Was doing instant coffee for for a while that had a picture of two spoons next to a cup on the label, so used two spoonfuls in my cup. After a few weeks I actually read the directions and discovered that it was supposed to be teaspoons. I was like “Oh, no wonder this stuff tastes lile shit”.
