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

That's horrible. Think of all the blood someone else has to clean. For that reason I suggest strangle.
"You haven't thought about the smell, you bitch!" vibes.

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'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.

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”

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.
I don't think urinating on people in public transport is a good idea. But otherwise, spot on.

The problem with public transit isn't the transit, it's the public.
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,...
We're all in that tiny minority at least sometimes. And that's why I avoid people. Not just for me, but also for them.
