People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
We old people were raised well, dammit! We had wired earphones! Then Apple cocked up and tried to make expensive wireless earphones fashionable. And look where that lead us. That's right, kids not knowing what earphones even are. Fuck you technobros, you can't do anything right.

This man is incapable of having a bad take.
City people have fucked priorities. I moved to a large city from a small rural town, and it's nothing but noise 24/7.
People yelling, construction happening, people watching TV with the window open, babies crying, dogs barking, birds calling, cars constantly rumbling by and hitting potholes so loudly it sounds like an explosion, acs running, radio from businesses, crowd noises, hundreds of thousands of little bits of metal and plastic clinging and clanging and pinging and popping, shoes on concrete clicking and clacking, airplanes, conversations going on, gunshots and concerts and car alarms and sirens and parties and car radios all the way up and... Even in the dead of night when it's all died down, there is this constant low hum coming from the city.
But specifically fuck the people who play music on their phone i guess.
Not all noise is the same. White noise is easy to ignore but hearing half a conversation will stress out almost anyone.
That's just how the brain is. A lot of city noise doesn't register as important (and it isn't), but overhearing half a conversation or random snippets of YouTube is annoying on a pretty deep level.
More merciful than I would be if I got to pick the punishment.
