The solution would then be to reduce car traffic, honestly, not tell people to be ok with this. I remember my roommate trying to be quiet in the other room while talking to someone and it was keeping me up(several perfectly acceptable reasons I let it happen, one of them being I knew it would end, but still).

I have a friend on a groundfloor who has trains go by their place somewhat regularly, but that’s also not frequent and they got to choose to be there, where these people where there first.

I’ve experienced situations like this, it’s not fun. The unceasing nature is probably the worst part, where you can put up with a lot specifically because you know that it will end at some point but if it’s just going on forever that’ll drive ya nuts.

Super strong “If I told you who I really was you’d never have slept with me!” energy.

It’s called consent. If people wouldn’t want to engage with the content unless they were misled in some way then that amounts to manipulation and a violation of trust. Looks like Epic Games just told the whole world that they would lie to their customers if they felt like the truth would give them too much choice.

Fuck ‘em.

He literally talked about how the sound never went away like with highways. I live in a city, night time is significantly quieter without all the cars ripping around. Cities are actually pretty damn quiet, it’s the cars that are loud. He said it felt like a low conversation that never, ever stopped and that it was impossible to get away from, even in his own bedroom where us city folk are pretty safe from too much sound.

I’m sure that sounds we can’t hear are also really bad, not arguing that, and I am also not arguing that the data itself would be awesome(they may be compiling and not ready to put all the data out yet) and thank you for the acknowledgement.

Literally you can hear the thing in the video. I don’t need to trust his words if I can hear the fucking thing clear as day. I also hadn’t heard the noise like that yet, so it was new to me. You’re just moving the goalposts to justify your shitty attitude.

With allies like you, who needs enemies?

You called it “pointless”, thay was the problem. You could not see any worth in the video without seeing the number. Yes, it would be nice to see it, but holy fuck, dipshit, you can kick rocks with attitude.

And let the door hit you on the way out.

Like, sorta, but also no. “Most luxuries” and “live somewhere cheap” are both insane things to say, too.

I know what you’re trying to get at, and I get it, but to say that someone who can still drive any car they want, live pretty much wherever except for some very specific places, get into whatever niche hobby their heart desires, and never needs to fear unemployment is not rich is just silly. I also said “tax them”, which means they’d still have everything else they currently own and could make money on that stuff, too.

A person with a million dollars is a person without any meaningful restriction on their life.

Edit: Goddamn, a lot of ya’ll really upset about this comment. Too bad, learn to read, and, failing that, find a high bridge over deep water ‘cause dealing with ya’ll just ain’t worth it.

The rich will claim you’re driving them to abject poverty if you tax them into only having a million dollars.

Voter turnout was less than 50% both times, and here in Canada we have a HUGE political ignorance problem. Way too many people here are completely disengaged from politics and it’s entirely their fault, too.

Conservatives vote for him because they are stupid as hell. He’s massively, overtly corrupt but he wears blue so they vote for him.

Did you not hear the noise with your own two ears? Are you that fucking deaf and willfully ignorant that you you need to see a number and can’t, without it, hear exactly what he’s talking about?

“It’s a conversation that never stops, is in your bedroom, and you can’t turn off, ever. It’s not loud but it never stops.” should be more than enough to make the point abundantly clear especially when you can fucking hear the sound in the video.

It’s also the same in Canada. The tipping has also been in fast-food and other stores, and I’ve just been saying “skip” every time. Like, food’s expensive enough these days without tipping someone who hasn’t even gone out from behind the counter and who will, quite possibly, not even see the tip.

Yup. If you’re the kind to be intelligent then you’ll grow out of it with new information. If you’re the kind to be hateful you’ll grow into it with exposure to weak propaganda you still fall for.

I get that, but at this point they’ve already shown their faces. The bar is too low and they still can’t clear it.
