The original thread there was making fun of the Coronakarens who call the police because "too many cars" are at a house on Thanksgiving and everybody was dunking on the one guy going "it's a PANDEEEEMIIIIIC." I feel like I stepped into the Twilight Zone.

Redditor says we’re not allowed to sing anymore.

There goes my aspiration of wanting to sing because I do it in the shower *sigh*

I might somewhat agree with this line of thinking for originally instrumental works having lyrics added to them when there isn't a need to, but otherwise it's hard to agree. For most songs I don't see singing as intrusive but rather just another instrumental layer, depending on the singer it can push the song to a much higher level. I also always find it neat how the very tone of a song can change depending on how the singer approaches it. Maybe it's because of the singers I like to listen to or my enjoyment of musicals but you'd literally be removing a large chunk of what makes it good by removing the singers.

It's also a fact that many songs are written with a singer in mind, so by removing the singer because "it sounds better" you're just trampling over the original artistic vision of the song writer. I don't get their point about it feeling "so choreographed and predictable" since why wouldn't it? Some songs were made with no singer in mind and in those cases it might sound weird should you add some in without thinking about how it'll affect the overall "sound" of the song. The same thing is true should you remove the singer from music created with one in mind, it almost always sounds like it's missing something and is usually why I end up skipping those [instrumental only] tracks on movie soundtracks.

The more I try reading their argument the more confused I get, like:
[...]but in general if the song is focused on the singer instead of the music, I don't like it.

doesn't make sense to me because I don't separate the two parts in my mind. Both parts, in a well written song at least, blend together to help raise the song up as a whole. Listening to someone like Frank Sinatra the main focus on the song is his voice, for good reason, with a lovely jazz accompaniment as backing and both parts blend together to make the experience.

Makes me curious over what songs he finds are exceptions to his dislike.

Here's some from the well-off folks over at r/gangstalking. Great range of conspiracy theories. They also make extremely average memes about inane gangstalking shit.

"For a month or so was getting phantom raped by what I thought we're direct energy weapons from my downstairs neighbors [...] One night after I attempted to walk in my apartment, I felt the unfortunately all too familiar burning penetration in the anus so I retreated in to my car. [...] she then said 'I have a big black snake for you.' After that I felt something [...] slithering up my asswhole. This basically didn't stop for a month, maby more; although the day after it started I asked, 'Can we do something about this snake in my ass?' Then a female voice sang 'There's a snake in your ass, what's the name of your garden?' I said Eden and for a minute or so it felt like it was coming out. It then startrd again and didn't end for a while. For some reason it smelled like shit and cinnamon, they called me Cinnamon for 6 months after that."

The text rants can be interesting but it gets sad fast.

Well at least it was a quick death.

Just got a blue gourami. I specifically asked the fish clerk if it would be alright with my two other fish (tetras i think). He said it would. Long story short, the fucker killed them both. Tempted throw that asshole into the woods. Enjoy your new aquarium in the snow.

Hopefully the other two catfish guys will be alright since they are roughly the same size.

Never rely on fish clerks. This is one of the few situations where the internet generally knows better than the "proffesional", because providing the correct information doesn't generate profits.

Also don't ever keep a fish with anything it could possibly severely harm or kill without providing it with the proper ratio of the opposite sex and proper nutrition. Some fish will go bonkers from lack of pussy. Some peaceful fish can also eat smaller fish for food if not provided with some special nutrients that aren't provided in adequate amounts with the food you're using. Some other causes of "odd" aggression are overcrowding, bad water parameters (fish may concentrate near aquarium device outputs and kill each other to get closer).
Also make sure to check for and satify all "weird" requierements some fish species have. Goldfish for example need an enormous amount of swimming space, while black mollies need to consume liver (Edit: or was it beef heart?)too be healthy.

As for the catfish, the gourami shouldn't give a single shit because gouramis tend to swim in a whole other part of the tank (the top) and the catfish are probably not very colorful (which prevents the gourami for mistaking them for competition). Unless the catfish reproduce, in which case it might eat the fry.

Still, i would think "smash a fish with a fucking rock" wouldnt be the thing that comes to most peoples minds if their fish needed to be euthanized

I've never had luck with gouramis, they're very frail from my experience. IIRC you have to buy them in pairs of 2-3.

Tiger barbs however are very hardy and their glo-fish versions for whatever reason seem to do real well and grow huge. The Red glo-fish barbs are incredibly vibrant even into adulthood and they really stand out once they get to full size.

For catfish, it could mean a ton of different things, do you mean basic bitch catfish, angelicus catfish, or black and silver sharks? The latter two can be very aggressive and I had instances where they would speed around and smack into other fish and wind up killing them. Mind you I had a 120 gallon tank so everything had room to spread out.

Yeah.
I remember when my fish had to be put down. Do you know how hard it is to pull the trigger when the dumb fucker keeps flopping around?
