Canadian Artillery Wake Up
Wasn't this posted a few months ago?
Funny, but not cool. He didn't have ear protection. Everyone else had ear plugs and covered their ears. Tinnitus sucks.
The Best Part Is Going Home
Small concert venues are notorious for awful conditions and whatever monopoly controls venue booking in your country will ensure your booking fees are extortionate.
I mean the fact that ear plugs are pretty much a pre-requisite for most indoor events shows how little thought goes in.
I suppose the attitude is, when there's one venue for a band you might never get to see live again, you'll put up with and pay anything.
Nice apartments for cheap...what's the catch?
The entire approach needs to look like a target from the air to pilots and pasengers with no visible sign of the affectation du arte on the ground and structures used to create the illusion-Also, they should have unlimited squinchy ear-plug dispensers in the lobby-I'd live there and party (naked when called-for)on the frikkin' roof, NIGHTLY!
World Championship Blacksmiths Competition Tong Making Class
I'm certain it's one of those things you have to be excellent at, AND love.
...and wear ear plugs.
I wonder how long it takes to get that good. Could you do it in a year of hard work?

If you listen to this with headphones then it is Three Dimensional. You can hear the sound going around and around and left and right and fading and forwarding and faxing all in front of your ears.
Plug that expensive head phone system into your jack in port on your audio. Jack it in hard.
Why Are You Atheists So Angry? - Greta Christina
You are so full of crazy, it isn't even amusing anymore.

I watched some of it. I didn't finish it because I don't feel like watching atheists complain for an hour is the best use of my time.
If God didn't exist, you might have a point..but He does exist and the real problem is that your mind is closed, your eyes are scaled over, and your ears plugged. You're like a guy who lives in a cave who denies the existence of the sun. You can't see it therefore it doesn't exist. Face it hpqp, you have more faith than I do.
"Directed by all-powerful selection, chance becomes a sort of providence, which, under the cover of atheism, is not named but which is secretly worshipped...To insist, even with Olympian assurance, that life appeared quite by chance and evolved in this fashion, is an unfounded supposition which I believe to be wrong and not in accordance with the facts."

@shinyblurry: 100$ says you did not watch the video. Greta lists many of the reasons why people like myself are so adamantly against superstitious beliefs and the organised religions that uphold them. If you can watch her talk and still defend religion, than you are very morally compromised.

Video Of Police Using Sound Trucks To Disperse G20 Protestrs
What are they going to do when protesters start wearing ear plugs? If I lived there, I'd get on the roof and shoot that fucking speaker out with a BB gun.
An open letter to my roommate. (Blog Entry by MarineGunrock)
I always wear ear plugs, and when it's noisy out, I have a noise machine/alarm clock that plays a rain soundtrack. Turning up the volume high lets me sleep through just about anything, but these things don't necessarily work for everybody or for all situations. Best of luck.
Tone deaf Denise Richards sings Take me Out to the Ball Game
gimme 2 ear plugs and i'd still do her
Earwax Extreme Close-Up
I've had similar blockages before. It's quite disorienting to have your ears plugged like that and to have them cleared - incredible. His/her hearing will be hyper-sensitive on the point of painful for a few days.
Bush Booed At Obama's Inauguration
I agree, they shouldn't have booed.
They should have said nothing. Complete silence. Could you imagine what it would feel like to have over a million people standing, silently glaring at you with distaste and distrust? It freaks me out when 10 people do it...
...also, I bet the Obama has ear plugs in, 1 million+ people screaming at the top of their lungs could do some serious damage.
Incredibly awesome* 17,000 watt car stereo system
WHAT! SORRY! YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP! I. CAN'T. HEAR. YOU
I'm guessing whoever installed this also believes ear plugs are for wimps...
Ignoring Member Comments (Sift Talk Post)
Just to advocate for Dag and Lucky for a second, I'm sure as the site continues to grow it might become a management burden. I'm imagining a sudden influx of youtube users causing someone to spend all day weeding out the pointless, hateful comments. As for threats, Twiddles is right. There's plenty of precedent in real life for how this is dealt with.
Unfortunately I'll have no way of knowing because I have Lucky's comments blocked, as he suggested. I see him in the thread but I'm ignoring him. Not bad, but if I continue to participate in this thread, I won't know his viewpoint.
But I don't think that's what this is. This is about someone being aggravated by someone else's viewpoints or language. I've found some of the most valued discussions are the ones that made me uncomfortable. I don't want people to be able to turn other people off. If they do, I want to know that they have. If you want a little ear plug icon next to their username, tell me the size and file type I'll make one.
I come from bar culture. I spend a lot of time in bars. The roles people play are very similar to an internet forum. If someone is too loud or offensive, you have two options. Leave or challenge their viewpoint. If it's threats and real abuse, 86 'em. For a while.
Perhaps this should only apply to profile comments. I have a feeling that some pitbull members can be a little too aggressive in getting their point across, and wrongfully consider it their duty to change other's minds. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, Don Quixote.
Ignoring Member Comments (Sift Talk Post)
I'd propose the following as "ear plugs":
-comments with more than 3 (or more/less) downvotes in total are not shown, cf. the situation at YouTube: when you really want to see the comment, you can click on a link that enables you to see the comment.
-Comments that are NSFW can be hidden by flagging them as such when posting or retroactively when you edit your comment or when someone else thinks the comment is NSFW.
A filter setting could automatically hide NSFW comments (or make then only visible when clicking on a link that enables you to see the comment)
I mean, if I want to ignore a comment I can do this by checking out who posted the comment and/or skimming the text superficially for key words, this takes very few time. (e.g. We're not having comment loads like at Huffington Post..)
Furthermore the quality of comments a sifter makes changes over time (for the good and the bad) and represents a world view that one can ALWAYS partly (dis)agree with. This blocking option creates fragmentation on the site and narrowing of/polarisation in people's minds.
