Can we talk about how I was reading anime threads wrong for months?

Did you try looking at smaller niche forums? I found one that way.

Learned a hard lesson about hoof angles at a clinic in Kentucky

That's why I've started paying more attention to how the horse tracks up in soft ground versus hard. A degree off in the toe angle shows up way faster when the hoof sinks unevenly into sand.

Had a moderator in a UK politics forum tell me my memes were "too one-sided" and it changed how I source my images now

Yeah that part about "feeding people one side of the story" really hit home for me because I was doing the exact same thing without even realizing it. What @kim_nelson said about finding angles you never would have seen is dead on too. I had a similar wake up call when someone pointed out all my sources were basically from the same blog network. Now I bookmark articles from three different places on the same topic and line them up side by side before I even start making the image. It takes twice as long but my posts actually get shared more now instead of getting flagged or argued about in the comments. Plus it keeps me from looking like a fool when someone fact checks the screenshot in the thread.

That fancy titanium bottom bracket tool I just had to have

Whoa, wait. It twisted in your hand? Like the tool itself bent or the titanium just gave way under normal torque? I've heard titanium is supposed to be tough but soft at the same time, that's wild it deformed on a BB. And the fact it gouged your frame makes it even worse, that's the kind of damage that sticks with you every time you look at the bike. Your Park Tool sounds like the real hero in this story.

That $60 'graded comic' I bought on eBay was a total waste

Bro that's rough lmao. 45 bucks for a fake slab hurts. Always check the cert first, period.
