You can try noise canceling headphones, or a loud uneven white noise generator (though that's not super great for fireworks)

I couldn't get through book two. I made it like 2/3 then read a summary

I don't mind it for some informational posts but for some communities it makes zero sense. Like I saw a ton of "am I the Asshole" bot reposts, where the point of the content is to engage with the OP. I can't think of anyone that would want that as just a repost.

You're kind of dumb. It doesn't really work as a depowering joke if it's completely indistinguishable from a bigoted comment

Wow. What an ass

Very cool

Not really! I think it's just that I'm always trying to find something new. A lot of the music that I enjoy now I would have hated as a teen, and having listened to a bigger range of genres and styles has kind of killed most musical nostalgia for me.

I can't think of anything I won't give at least a chance to, and I've built up a muscle where I give more consideration to music that I initially bounce off of. There's a reason that somebody likes it, so I try to find that and listen from that perspective.

I don't have anything that needs an editing pass right now, but I would be happy to take a look anyway!

My taste in music is still changing. I will love a band or genre deeply for about six months before moving on to something else
