    Yeah, this is a question in bad faith from a child to someone that’s been curating a collection of music for more than a quarter of a century.

    This isn’t even my entire collection, I’ve got at least a couple orange crates packed with vinyl, CDs, mp3s, concert videos, and even some cassettes for nostalgia. Do I listen to everything I’ve gotten digitally? Not yet, but I don’t plan on stopping my listening any time soon and drive space is cheap, so I figure that I’ve got time.

    Your “logical timeframe” is both naive and deeply insulting. I’m going to enjoy my library hobby anyway, but you can just fuck off with your negative attitude.

      Is it really “naïve” to claim there is simply not enough time itself to listen to music and do everything that we do in out lives? Or is it naïve rather to claim otherwise. And that actually was not in bad faith as I struggle to listen enough on my own. So you can fuck off with your weird ass superiority mister ‘more equals better and smarter’.

        People like what they like. I like to collect and listen to music. It’s NOT cool to shit on someone else hobbies and interests just because you don’t get it. If you can’t understand that, then yes you are being a naive jerk.

          I have no idea where in the hell I was shitting on the same hobby that I have. Probably as a straw man in your head.

            Could’ve fooled me. Other people interpreting the things you say based on your words alone is not a strawman argument though. We should all just chill. Yeah, maybe I haven’t listened to everything I’ve collected, but it’s a lot easier to collect now and listen later than search in vain when I want to find something.
