    Seconded.

    A lot of people blame this on people losing their social skills during COVID, but I remember people doing it when I was in high school in the mid-2010s.

    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.

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

    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.

    I get what he means by its annoying, but really what the fuck is with that wording “you should be shot” when we know you’re just talking about being annoyed?? It says so much about a kind of person when they’re comfortable saying something this vile. Using extreme violence as a point of emphasis over an every day annoyance. Like holy fuck there’s so little people who can say these kind of things publicly without extreme repercussions, it’s so extremely privileged.

    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.

    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”

          I might not go that far but I feel that sentiment.

          Ooh they could announce 2FA/MFA codes… maybe that could be toggleable

        I dunno, I didn’t have much of a problem with them unless my hands were wet. Occasionally couldn’t make the triple-tap work, and maybe some issues with accidentally adjusting the volume. I found the “push and hold to play notifications” function to be super reliable, though.

          90% of the time it triggers some random function for me when I am just trying to push it back into my ear (pause, skip forward, some sort of tutorial crap, notifications,…)

    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.

      Ungh my manager at my last job did that shit all the time. Infuriating, because I wasn’t allowed to have headphones (inbound tech support), and it was really distracting when I was on a call.

      And just like, so incredibly rude, who the fuck does that??

        That’s exactly how it felt. Like her imagination had daydreamed the scene long enough, it was time to put it out to the universe and be approached by all those agents and producers crammed in the commuter carriage of the inner south line.

      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.

      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,…
