I don't get American's obsession with cheese. I like a good cheese, but I don't need a recipe that calls for a pound of the stuff.

I agree with this one.
I did not like cheese as a child and I didn't like milk either. As I got older, I came to appreciate it in certain things and in modest amounts. I still will not drink milk outside of it being leftover milk from a bowl of cereal. I will NOT pay for cheese on my food, it either comes with it or it doesn't and that's fine. You will not scam me into paying a fucking dollar for a Kraft slice of shitty cheese.

Milkshakes do not count thank you fruits and chocolate for making a milkshake a delicious drinkable ice cream-esque dessert.

Noticing a pattern of men always being the ones to disagree with my soup take. Curious.

I just realized my partner also hates how much I can eat soup.
I've always liked foods that are normally accepted to be inclusive to multiple food groups. Most dishes do incorporate many things but some things it's less common with. Soups, stews, chowders, salads, burgers, pizza are the ones that quickly come to mind that you can put a lot of stuff on and not get too many turned up noses. I prefer vegetables and fruits to anything so I'm not crazy about just eating slabs of meat with a paltry amount of an overcooked vegetable on the side. Burgers I used to like a lot more but they're more of an easy food than something I want to eat. The more acceptable to put tomatoes on it, the better the food is.

TL;DR Soup is good, it heals the soul.

Short scale basses need more love. They sound awesome

I've been playing bass for over 10 years, and this is the first time I hear of a short scale bass.
Granted, I kinda suck at playing and am not big into instruments and technical aspets as opposed to just jamming, but nonetheless, this is a surprise.

Maybe I have seen them at stores and dismissed them as beginner instrument for children though.

Do Americans not feed their children milk? My kid became a milk monster at preschool.

They say that. But a lot of greats have used short scale basses- Jack Bruce, Mike Watt, Bob Daisley, Captain Sensible, Phil Lynott, Olsie Robinson, Bill Wyman, John Entwistle, Satomi Matsuzaki, Tina Weymouth, Stanley Clarke, Kevin Parker, Paul McCartney, the list goes on. I love em because i got small hands and theyre just comfortable play experience for me. i damn near have to play normal basses sitting down so i dont have my spine feel like it's bending out of shape more. Theyre really good for smaller folk too. And they have a pretty thunderous amount of low end to em. Though i will say my only experience is play a Gibson EB3 and a Gretsch Thunder Jet. There are some bassists who will shit on people who use short scales. You should play with what's comfy to use and let skill and tone do the talking whether it be a short (30in), medium (32in), long (34in), or extra long (35-36in) scale bass

Was that list something you know by heart or did you copy/paste a wiki page or something?

At any rate, sure, whatever fits you. We come in various shapes and sizes, no reason why our instruments shouldn't. I'm somewhat interested how I could feel playing it.
I have fairly large hands I guess and never had a problem playing a large scale bass, although it was an effort to learn holding and playing it properly early on. I have an issue when I grab a regular electric guitar though - it's just feels too small.

Would it shock you if i told i learned it by heart? i learned it when i first started getting into playing short scales so i could hear them and distinguish the sounds between the brands and models (Gibson EB0, EB3, Fender Mustang, Jaguar, etc). Have you tried baritone guitars? They have a longer scale length and theyre basically made for guitarists who think like bassists. Itll be tuned a bit lower but theyre made for big hands. Btw, your conumdrum is similar to me finding a decent rifle for smaller hands. Lot of folk recommended AR15 for ergonomics.
