People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
I had to listen to someone blast Tiktok and parts of some yelling bro-y podcast in the dentist's office.
I am already on edge whenever I go there, but this put me on a different level, as I was ridiculously overstimulated by the time I was in the chair. They almost did not continue because my blood pressure was alarmingly high.
Can we have a special level for those who blast conspiracy theory videos? That was my last trip, and even with my headphones, I could still hear them droning on about some ignorant hot take divorced from any semblance of reality.
Let's not shoot them. I prefer public censure.
People around where we live mount Bluetooth speakers to their bicycle and ride around on nature trails sharing their music with everyone because who the hell goes out in nature to experience nature?
That's horrible. Think of all the blood someone else has to clean. For that reason I suggest strangle.
"You haven't thought about the smell, you bitch!" vibes.

Meanwhile, Google's like, "We're removing the ability to silently check your notifications using your Pixel Buds. You have to use the voice command now. No, we don't care that you primarily use them in public spaces. And we really don't care that our voice recognition has a 15% success rate."
That's shitty but I fail to see how the course of action there would be to start using the voice commands instead of just, you know, silently pulling out the phone and checking the notifications with your eyes.
Wow bummed for you on that
Someone raised the question of whether Google might have had a security concern. Since you can pick up ~~unpaired~~ headphones and listen to notifications from a locked phone. Though Apple does have a similar feature with AirPods: Announce Notifications.
Edit: not “unpaired”
If more people acted like Everett True, we'd live in a much nicer world. We've given assholes far too much free reign.
We don't just give them free reign, for the most part the world promotes being selfish.
Damn near everything we ever hear takes no one else into account. Living wage is less and less common, billionaires have all the money in the world and zero accountability, healthcare (Mostly US specific) is an overpriced scam with no guardrails, food costs whatever the fuck the people who control it tell us it costs regardless of production costs, housing costs way too fucking much, fake news is more and more prevalent and conning more and more fools.
Its easy to see why people focus on no one but themselves anymore, its just the way of the world, toxicity is winning.

I've been stuck on a train with a girl wearing headphones and singing along to Savage Garden. We all suffered.
She was even shutting her eyes tight and doing these ones...
If you've ever listened to just the vocals of a song without music, it was that, but also awfully off-key because she, of course, could not hear herself. Obnoxiously, I think she thought she was putting on a performance we were all impressed by. No one was impressed.
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
Following the sudden and catastrophic collapse of their bodily edifice, the faint crack of a sniper shot cut through the relatively short moment of peace and serenity only to resume forthwith.
I don't think urinating on people in public transport is a good idea. But otherwise, spot on.
What about furious masturbation? Because that happens whether it's a good idea or not.
The problem with public transit isn't the transit, it's the public.
It is not even that, it is a tiny minority of the public. In fact, come to think of it, that is the problem with a lot of systems that would otherwise work great, a tiny minority of exploitative rich people, a tiny minority of spammers, a tiny minority of people who vandalize public spaces,...
