Ah, there's the ol' jealousy again. Blargh. It was nice when I thought I was past it.

What did I just read?

A discussion of fetishes. Not even weird ones.

EDIT: Link's a bit graphic in its descriptions, I wouldn't click if you're prudish or watched by somebody who is. It's a screencap of text, though.

Y'know, it might not be metaphorical. Who knows!

There are bigger gaps. Pop music, for example.

Pop music isn't actually that bad. It's usually got a pretty decent technical qualities by my understanding, even if it achieves that through rigorous calculations of what appeals to the majority of people. And while the lyrics may usually be anywhere from vapid to outright stupid, they're often not the make-or-break quality to music that is largely designed to be a backdrop to other activities like driving, dancing, or talking with friends. I guess you might say that the cultural attitudes it promotes as standard and normal are bad, but condemning it for its qualities as a musical genre seems different than doing so for its social influence. It's not a genre I enjoy most of the time, but I can accept that other people have decent reasons for it.

imagine being that poor bastard on the northern tip of greenland, tho

An average doctor can make those mistakes, a field prodigy cannot.

That's... not actually how it works, sorry. A prodigy would get to the level of an average doctor faster, and/or be able to deal with less-understood conditions more effectively, and/or fail with well-understood conditions less often. In any of those cases, a sample size of 1 fuckup doesn't actually rule out anything.

Like, I'm not actually claiming that he's a particularly great doctor, I'm just saying your criteria are bad.

Cos there's an obvious difference between someone growing up in a family who for generations has been obligated to the country and someone whose parents just illegally immigrated

must not be that obvious, i'm not seeing it
