- FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Girl have you seen my thoughts? I have 3 prefrontal cortex handicaps, it’s chaos up there.
“De bwootooth dewice is readey to paih”
Any time I see all caps I just think it’s orange taco
I believe that they do for the attention, they must notice the nasty looks, they must know most people find that annoying in a place like that
Reminds me of the study with loud cars .
“We found that it was sadism and psychopathy predicting who wants to modify their mufflers, who feels more connected to their vehicle, and [who thinks] loud cars are really cool,” Schermer told CBC News.
“It seems to be this callous disregard for other people’s feelings and their reactions. That’s the psychopathy coming out and it’s also they probably get a kick out of enjoying watching people get startled.”
I guess at least they didn’t become CEOs
They had a guy like that at a work site. In the end somebody ground down some of the graphite part of a pencil and sprinkled that down the openings of his boom box. It short-circuited when he tried to switch it on the next time and there was silence after that.
There is this fucking guy at my local park that sets up a full DJ system with giant speakers and “spins” electronic music, by himself, with no audience, loud as FUCK, at least one day every goddamn weekend for multiple hours. Everyone loathes him, but he doesn’t seem to care.
A nice pair of electrically-insulated cable cutters may be a good investment.
I like McMaster-Carr, it’s the greatest catalog of industrial supplies.
Also the markup on the first cutters that showed up is insane. $90 on McMaster, only $57 at home deopt
Nah I’m not like that, not calling the cops on him or anything either, but if someone whips his ass I won’t feel bad.
Man, I went to a coffee shop with a girl once. This coffee shop sat maybe 24 people, okay? It’s a shallow, wide building. There’s the counter with two baristas working, in front of the counter along the front wall of the building are those narrow “table for two” booths, like 2 or 3 of them. Both the counter and those booths run to the right wall of the building. To the left is a small more open area with maybe 4 four-seat tables.
There was this guy. This male homo sapiens. Who brought an acoustic-electric guitar. A microphone. And two, count them in the eyes of sweet zombie Jesus TWO. 60+ watt amplifiers. Because this was the artistic opportunity of this existing organism’s life. This creature, this placental mammal, was going to REACH his audience on this night. Through all the noise of a commercial AC unit and the single digit number of people that I ever saw in the building, his Green Day covers would be HEARD!
That happened during the winter of 2011. My headcanon is that guy wheezed to death of covid on one of those 3D printed ventilators they tried to get me to help make. I didn’t do those, I did the 3-ring binder slip cover face mask visors.
Music hater
Probably road their loud ass motorcycle to get there.
This just screams I beg for attention! Look at me !
Not the sort of thing I normally condone, but I think if there was ever a good use for a Bluetooth jamming device - Flipper Zero, etc - this is it.

Hey you’re welcome. I really enjoy my Bluetooth speaker at the beach. I play it just loud enough so when I’m sitting in my area in my little tent that I can hear it. If you’re sitting close enough to me to be able to hear your music then you can fuck off.
Someone blasted their playlist during a citywide fireworks display…why would I want to hear the explosions.
i’ve been in the band that plays during the fireworks, so to your point:
some people like music.
Yeah, I just hate it when I go to a concert and it’s all fireworks covering up the music I went to see. Would suck if the opposite happened…
I should have mentioned this was at a public park with hundreds of people, no one asked or hired the dude to be there, and he was playing shitty music loud enough that you could not here the explosions. If you did that, you are also terrible.
i mean, i’m a musician (see above). when i’m playing music on my speaker it’s when i’m on my bike so pedestrians get out of the way and i don’t have to have one of those (more disruptive and annoying) bells that clangalangs the entire damn ride. or it’s somewhere that i can listen quietly, the music doesn’t go too far, or my own home. like, i get it. but the whole “i like the quiet so i own the public” movement, you folk need to move away from people if you want silence that much.
it may shock you to learn that people make noise just by existing. and for most of them, it brings joy.
I’m proud of you for being a musician. As a fellow musician I understand that when I play at a venue where people on not there to specifically hear my band play, we play at a completely different volume and take more breaks. Because people hate a random band dominating the random bar they chose to go to in order to talk to their friends.
It kinda sounds like you don’t have great musician etiquette and some main character syndrome.
main character syndrome.
Wait tell me what demanding silence from everyone in public spaces is
Where I live both are acceptable, but it depends on where you go
If you go to the “main beach” that’s where you bring music. You show off your body, you listen to loud music, you cruise, etc…
But if you go the “locals beach”, you show up looking like shit, keep your music down, and lots of people drink illegally but they do so low-key so while we all know they’re doing it, nobody cares
To me, both are acceptable. It kind of sucks to think there is no place at the beach where you can party
But it also kind of sucks to think that there is no place at the beach where you can actually enjoy the ocean
SO we have both, you just need to know where to go
Very wise
Thank you, I specifically crafted this 3 hour slam death metal and goregrind compilation for my 5am beach walk by the residential area.
If only. Instead you will hear songs about trucky-trucks, beer, and fishing sung in only the most generic pandering tones with influences of whatever music is currently popular at the time.
I could sing in mandarin, you’d still know I’m panderiiiiin’
Yup. Grew up listening to classic country, and while there were definitely stereotypes (he/she ran off and left the singer heartbroken/they died and left were heartbroken), they were obviously not formed by committee. This new stuff has no “soul” or underlying point, and is very obviously pushed because it targets a specific type of person.
It’s usually reggeaton around here.

I use a hifi cushion. You can barely hear anything beyond 2 meters at a reasonable volume. A lovely invention, too bad it didn’t catch on.
A what?
Guessing a speaker with a pillow from the name.
Exactly. Heres an old review. I dont think its sold anymore.

Don’t know why but I assumed it was a cushion you sat on and thought the bass response must be absolutely awesome but those mids are going to be so muddy.
It does need some EQing around 400…2500 Hz as well as a bass cut but the sound is surprisingly nice.
