yeah, same. i dont seem to have any problem with my ears per se, it seems more like a processing/noise filtering thing in my brain that’s not working at full power. i think my dad had it too.

i cant understand distorted speech, while most people around me obviously can. i have never been able to understand anyone speaking into a loudspeaker.
it’s gonna keep looping through the foodchain until some microbe finally figures out an easy way to break them down… fun stuff.
it’s been slowly getting worse since the 2010s. i remember talking about it back then.
i dont think they’ve lost touch, they’ve never been in touch. this behavior is apparently what produces the biggest profits for the next quarter, so they’ll do it until they drive the platform into the ground, then just start another one and repeat
“chose”. learning the language of the worst colonizer of your time’s always been economically advantageous
because capitalists have to lie about reality to preserve their ill gotten gains.
because win98SE sucked horribly.
i think getting any kind of reliable recording was a bigger jump. it totally transformed the way we listen to music.
the other thing is microphones and speakers. changed live music totally.
tens of millions. and since we’d all be me, we’d only split into 3-4 warring factions of communists, but then we’d liberate the world…
raising steam was disjointed and its second half felt like a farewell to the discworld. and yeah, snuff is just a rambling mess.
youngsters and their tools… we just used to dd some /dev/zero onto the block device and ^C out of it after a second or two… :D
ages ago, i spent something like half a year thinking there was a word “appericate”. it was an odd one, since i only ever saw it in print, and from context it was clear that it meant the same thing as “appreciate”, which, oddly enough, i only ever heard in speech.
and then one day i stopped at an “appericate” in a book and re-read it 9 times, very slowly.
i went to the movie theater and watched it all the way through. it was harrowing. i havent forgiven the hobbit movie, PJ and the movie industry in general for that one.
if chickens can have fingers and buffalo can have wings…
why do you think that matters? what actually matters is how people use language. admittedly, this also involves studying people like you who have weird ideas about language.
if you just listen to people, you’ll find that they use this phrase to talk about atm machines. that’s all that is required. it doesnt matter if you think the name for a thing was derived through a process you personally dont like. it’s still a name for a thing that is in common use and understood by people.
oh, also, do you think the “river avon” is also wrong? why or why not?
that’s a spelling mistake, which is an entirely different kettle of fish
lol no. why would it be an error? if that’s how people say it, that’s what it’s called.
DOS -> win95 -> win98 -> debian (and i’m still here 24 years later…)
