It’s like people who only ever decide to listen to the radio while driving around. Dude, we’ve had the ability to play our CDs with cassette adapters, we’ve had the ability to play cassettes in our cars and things have gotten twice as better the day the IPod came and mass MP3 support through USB happened.

There is no excuse as to why no one can’t just plug in their media device or use Spotify or something. If you continue to listen to the radio, you have no stance to complain about the music.

Two sides on this one.

On one hand, it would be fucking nice for some platforms to be held liable whenever doxxing happens. Because I can tell you, nothing good ever comes out of being doxxed. It would also mean that, people like Spez would have to run around the clock, sanitizing Reddit because he knows a lot of shit happens on that platform every day. In this sense, I would love Section 230 to be sunsetted.

The other hand, if this is going to be projected as a means to illegalize the expression against politicians and the US government, they’re now stepping on a clear violation of the first amendment. Onslaught of lawsuits and contests incoming that would give politicians headaches.

You blocked them for a reason.

Well, it would really suck for the millions who are in customer service/retail. You’ve essentially made them homeless and struggling even more than they were before.

I wish anyone who has idealistic thoughts of protesting like this, would think things thoroughly. Seems like protesting in general, it’s just about do action now, thinking almost never.

Work for it, lazy moocher.

Distractions. You need a lot of them. Good company. Good hobbies. Something.

It is never a great idea to let your mind wander off for too long, because it’ll go places you wouldn’t want it to and you’ll sometimes just be held down by it.

Hangers with those hooks on the sides that I guess are meant to slip the collar of the shirts into? They don’t really serve as a good use plus they seem to get tangled with other hangers at times and hang securely anyways. I’ve seen better hangers at work where there is a strip of some rubber compound on the top sides of each hanger, they hold things much better and I feel that’s the more better of the design for a hanger.

I would inform potential dates that there really isn’t going to be a family for them to meet and that I am probably the last representative of that family. If they ask me if they’re going to have a father-in-law or a mother-in-law, I would tell them it is probably in title only.

The goal is to spare your dates or would-be newlyweds from getting involved with what drama or dysfunctionality your family has gone through. You are doing your date a huge favor.

When phones got developed so much, you can virtually do half of the things on them as you would a laptop.

It sounded like you didn’t see what the point things were when they arrived around your time. But I can tell you, the passing 90s and 2000s just straight shot technology faster than we can comprehend.

I see you’ve asked this very thing and it didn’t go over well for you in the other instance.

America is not entirely immune from the problems you’ve seen in Europe. Different continents, different sets of problems. America’s problem is how it takes any and every chance it has had, to be a more prosperious country and pisses it away by allowing very few rich people and corporations take it entirely over.

And it is at the expense of the populace. What’s there to be grateful for when YOUR country is the one offering free healthcare, when America has pressurized it’s people in a ‘pay or die’ situation?

Backing this, I was going to write up a separate comment but this is really best left with someone professional. Not just anyone can really help with this. We’d have to know history which may be a few more paragraphs, we’d have to know their environment and livelihood, habits .etc

And that’s just something that’ll be exhausting to read and risks the OP to be set up to be scrutinzed or judged. Don’t really want that here.

Coffee/Monster Java. I really feel like I can’t function without either. I can go without Monster Java for a few days, but the coffee is something I can’t go without in it’s absence.

Porn. While this has been gradually getting better with not stockpiling tons and tons of images and not stroking off as much. I do spend quite some time looking at porn and falling into old habits from time to time.

Food Portion Control. I have poor portion control, I really do. I’ve long stopped going to chinese buffets which is a great step in progress. But I’ve substituted it with going to BK time to time and grabbing things that are just as bad if eaten in a day’s worth.

From just headphone use? No, disagreed. From loud music? I used it as an example, I don’t listen to loud music constantly as much anymore. You can’t avoid Tinnitus because even if you didn’t listen to loud music all of the time, being surrounded by loud noise in general will eventually get you there. I work in a store where people slam pallets down (for no stupid reason), screech pallet jacks, have noisy pallet jacks in general, ladder carts squeal and screech. We’re not allowed to protect our ears because “CONSOOMER FIRST” priority.

Plus, where I live, people slam their doors around, they holler, babies and kids throwing fits. Yeah, it doesn’t matter if I listen to loud music or not, I will develop Tinnitus because of the environments. It’s an environment thing.

I’m not buying it that it is headphone-related. I wear headphones nearly all of the time, I’ve listened to music loudly for years on end, I’ve had to deal with loud screeches, loud noise wherever I go, lived and worked.

It is totally an environmental thing. Plus, the article had already wrapped up what the problem was and a normal hearing test came back negative.

But they haaaaaad to find a reason in the next line. Just had to.

Everything ancient civilization didn’t have.

This isn’t Reddit. Karma points would matter if it was reddit because they stupidly make it where the less points you got, the harder it’ll be to post anywhere. That isn’t a thing on the fediverse, you can have -1000 and still post.

It’s just a stupid internet toy.

When you eat something so perfectly good.

I am still using a computer case that was from my ex-roommate 4 1/2 years ago. I bought his old system when he was upgrading and while I had long gutted and got rid of the old parts to make way for newer ones a year after having moved out from him. I’m still using the case.

For me in a way, yes. When I used to read books on a regular basis, I found it more easier to digest if I had nobody or nothing around to make noise. I can deal with small noises like random cracks or a pop here and there. Long as it wasn’t amplified or anything. When I listen to things such as music or take in sound in general, my mind goes everywhere and it can’t focus on the pages of a book.

I always hated it when people try talking to me when louder noise is present and expect me to hear them perfectly. My mind is not focusing on your words, it’s focusing on that obnoxious noise that’s disrupting things.
