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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

But according to some of the mods here in the fediverse, you’re AdVoCaTiNg violence as if there is somehow a magical whimsical answer there to solve all of the world’s problems. /s

I am still waiting by the way, for anyone to tell me what is there left to really do to try and tell the most powerful classes in society, to convince them to stop their bullshit. So far, I’ve heard none.

He’ll probably find it then be surprised that he’s prosecuted for it. Play stupid games…

I was a simple kid back then. I remember having seen 3D renders of south park characters back in the 90s. Marvin the Martian fansites. The #Trivia room in TalkCity.
