Mydnyte Dystopia MortSanglant Mydnyte Dystopia MortSanglant Might I add, there's a huge difference between expanding your musical tastes just so you can say "Hey, aren't I awesome I listen to so much different music!" and expanding your library because you truly have an interest in the different bands you listen to. Not to butt in, but, what you said there definitely makes sense; I agree. Haha, it's your topic, you can butt in all you want. Haha, oh, right. Haha, ....I got nothing I just wanted to start a sentence with "Haha," because all the cool kids were doing it and I gave into peer pressure.
WHY DOES NO ONE LIKE ME?!?!?! gonk gonk crying crying

Rellik San Because it shows you have no interest in exploring new horizons or trying new things. An unwillingness to learn or enhance yourself in anyway shape or form. You love thinking you know what you're talking about, don't you? But let's assume you're right. So what? Why is that a flaw if you're quite happy with what you already have?
MortSanglant @ Vengeance: I was speculating. Quite different from assuming.

MortSanglant Might I add, there's a huge difference between expanding your musical tastes just so you can say "Hey, aren't I awesome I listen to so much different music!" and expanding your library because you truly have an interest in the different bands you listen to. Well, I dunno if you actually read the original post, but what I got from it was that the original poster feels compelled to expand her musical library out of some sense of responsibility to her chosen genre(s) rather than actually taking an interest in them. But I dunno, I'm just assuming/speculating.

MortSanglant A thesaurus is hardly a good reference for that. If you read the definitions you posted along with the synonym lists, they are clearly different things.
Assuming is taking something as true without anything to back it.
Speculating is projecting a possibility for truth but not holding it as fact. MortSanglant Or you're just a stagnant person. The whole point in giving Thesaurus entries was that they're similar enough in meaning that they're interchangeable enough that a sentence that is one can easily be construed as the other. Either way, if you want to get technical I see absolutely no speculation in that post. The lack of a "maybe" or similar word, or even a question mark would suggest that you are, in fact, projecting what you conceive to be a fact. Even if that wasn't the intention, surely someone as smart as you can see how it can be misconstrued as such.
Either way, my "same s**t" stands.
Rellik: I honestly have nothing to say to that. Perhaps you are right. I will maintain, however, that so long as one is happy with their interests, I see no reason to need to branch out genre-wise. Especially if you're doing it out of some weird sense of responsibility and not actual interest, which again, is what I got from the original post(I could be wrong, though).
