I don't get why anyone who rides public transportation doesn't wear headphones themselves. Big obvious ones are best so people don't talk to you.

I do find that the more righteous I feel about someone's actions the more annoying it becomes to me. Despite how rude it is, and you're absolutely right about that, try to not give a fuck. It really helps to consider their obliviousness as a disorder. They're pathetic.

If nothing else, hopefully it'll keep you from actually pulling the trigger one day.

Not everyone can wear headphones all the time.

Me, for example. I can wear headphones for maybe 45 minutes before the pain gets too intense and I need to take a 10 minute break.

Not who you replied to but I'm sure you don't blast music or other audio on transit when you need the break.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't. But I have to listen to others doing it.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 4 points 12 hours ago

I misread, I thought they said anyone listening while on transit not just anyone period. Makes more sense now.

Shooting them is a kindness. They could be reported to the RIAA for violating public performance copyright.

I think most people are opposed to torture on moral grounds.

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?

There's a guy in my area that does that... He told me one day that it's to help give people and animals a heads-up that he's coming, which is helpful when overtaking people from behind, or around blind corners.

Sounded like an excuse at first, but it actually did help some of the time when I saw him after that. I have begrudgingly changed my mind about it.

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.

That's horrible. Think of all the blood someone else has to clean. For that reason I suggest strangle.

If more people acted like Everett True, we'd live in a much nicer world. We've given assholes far too much free reign.

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."

[–] doctortran@lemm.ee 13 points 18 hours ago

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.

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.

You just unlocked a repressed childhood memory from when I was 10 and we spent our lunchtimes playing MTG outside the school hall. Every day for months one year a group of girls decided to rehearse a dance they were choreographing to Animals by savage garden so we had to listen to it being constantly played, rewound, played again, stopped, repeated, ad nauseam. It made me hate savage garden for years after with an unrequited fury. I don't think I ever fully recovered.
