What's the difference between prog rock and post-rock? I thought Mogwai/Sigur Ros/Explosions/This Will Destroy You (seeing them tonight!) were the latter.
If I were to say "I like the song 'Zimmy's Downtown Ho-down.'" then you could give any of the following disagreeable example responses, in order from "most perfectly reasonable" to "scary foaming sociopath."
"I can see why you might like it, but I prefer something different" --> "I don't care for that song" --> "I don't care for that kind of music" --> "I don't like that artist" --> "That song/style/artist are stupid" --> "Fuck you, that song/style/artist suck" --> "Fuck you, that song/style/artist suck and so does everything else you like" --> "Fuck you, I would like to assault you physically" --> "I can see why you might like it, but I prefer movie soundtracks by Randy Newman"
This is the continuum I have been yearning for

I am just so, so tired of people who think "that's just your opinion" is the end of a conversation rather than the beginning of one.
I would tend to agree with you had I ever seen something good come out of such conversations.
Most of the music, games, and movies that you like probably come from those exact sort of conversations.
Also, come on now. Do you really spend your day walking around going "the sky is blue. I have eight miles left in my commute. This potato weighs 22 ounces." Nothing is 'just' an opinion - they matter, since we aren't goddamn robots. At least most of us.
I like to listen to gangster rap while I'm shopping in the grocery store.
With a montage of clips following you around. Bright flashes transition between longer slow motion clips, and on each breakdown in the music, a very brief 2-4x speed stretch of you going through the store.

Flew away in a balloon
Had sex with polar bears
While sitting in a reclining chair
Now there are Zim-Bear hybrids
Running around and clawing eyelids
Watch out, a Zim-Bear is about to have sex with yooooooou!
Having a beard on ones neck does not a neckbeard make
i would argue that you are exactly incorrect here.
I believe nexus is arguing that a beard growing in the neck region is only a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition for constituting a genuine neckbeard.
I believe said beard needs to be of a certain length, color, density, and curliness as well.
What I am saying is that nexy is the one, true neckbeard.

Weeeell... since I don't know what your beard looks like, I'm going to assume the worst.
I am an inch of hair away from being able to run mustache rides all the way down my Pathway to Paradise and past my happy place back around to the rear entrance.

My first exposure to the Barenaked Ladies was some weird little "The More You Know" public service music video thing they did that aired between some Fox Saturday morning cartoons way back in the early 90's. It was like 1992 or something. I remember being so weirded out when they hit it big like eight years later.

I liked it except for the flying magic sword attack animation they had going there.
Also they don't show that Illidan actually survives. What kind of Death Knight doesn't ensure that his foe is dead?
Though it's yet to manage to open GMail.

That's the fourth time I've heard that this week!
This is wrong and you are wrong. Why are you so wrong?
Edit: I think that's a 7 on the "Zimmy's Downtown Ho-Down" Scale

Don't you know? All the problems in the world can be traced back to women.
On the bright side it sounds like everyone else will be too so at least it wasn't just me sucking.
It's the best thing they're responsible for.
Ahhhhhh
AHHHHHHHHHH
Is it love?

They probably broke into your apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street.
So, nexus... like that?
Not quite. One day, though, it will be.
It looks like it was a regular kind of beard, and it slipped off.
It was really their old apartment
THERE ARE NECKBEARD SLEEPERS AMONGST US
what's new?
Hey JK, I heard you were me. Or at least pretend-me.
I am glad that it was you and not somebody I found annoying.
If you ever need a job, I have way more uses for a body double than the average person.
