Journalist gets fed up w/ Piers Morgan, calls him an idiot

newtboy says...

Another deaf moron who's ears don't work when his lips move, which is constantly, but he might still be the best listener at Fox....but realize that bar rests so low it's somewhere within the iron core of our planet.
Like the rest of the right, they invite other opinions to speak not in order to listen, but solely for the opportunity to talk over them smugly and create red herrings by not paying attention and making up claims about what the other said or believes out of thin air.
I sometimes hope Trump can enact some truth in journalism law like he says he wants but with a real, unbiased referee deciding what's proven fact and what's ignorant opinion masquerading as fact, and public consequences for the networks at the very least amounting to unimpeachable fact checking, because that will end right wing media outlets day one. They all do this, rant loudly over guests they don't agree with, because their arguments can't withstand honest debate with knowledgeable people, so those people can't be allowed to be heard by their audience.
Why they still give Faux those opportunities is beyond me, Faux must pay lefties a mint to come on.

Yanny or Laurel

PlayhousePals says...

I had YET to hear Laurel until I watched the 'explained' vid @eric3579 posted here in the comment section when they changed the pitch up 30% @1:51. I'd tried with and without headphones, different times of day/night, stoned/not stoned, saying the word Laurel out loud before playing the video. Evidently I'm primed in the minority because I sure as hell don't have younger ears!

I listened 3 times, heard yanni.
I waited awhile (5 min) read some stuff, listened again - laurel!!!!

I cannot hear yanni anymore, but I DID!? same speakers for both.

Anatomy of a Scene -- A Quiet Place

mentality says...

The face part opened up, but the "ears" pop open and uncover whenever they're trying to listen closely.

I any case, armored just means they have some resistance to small arms fire, like the bugs in Starship Troopers or xenomorphs in the Aliens universe. Unless the monsters in this movie are covered in adamantium, I find it hard to believe that they can wipe out the world's militaries in such a short time.

Also, they would have to defeat the world's armies first, as securing the food supply would be one of the top priorities of any army. No military is going to sit around waiting to slowly starve to death.

More spoilers:

I think the movie tried to show that they only opened up and became vulnerable when they heard the feedback sound from the hearing aid.

The movie didn't really go on about how they defeated armies, but really they only have to kill the farmers, everyone will eventually starve if they can't grow food.

Full Frontal - Iraq War: 15 Years Later

Mordhaus says...

I'm pretty sure the stupidest war ever was the War of Jenkins' Ear, which not only was dumb in it's own merit but also spawned two additional wars that killed close to 2 million people.

Basically Britain and a trading company decided that a little war would help to spur trade, so they seized on an 8 year old incident involving the Spanish boarding a ship and cutting off the captain's ear to fan the flames of conflict.

While the casualties of this little conflict were only around 30k dead or wounded, and a paltry 500 ships, it nicely helped kick off the War of Austrian Succession. That fun conflict led to around half a million dead.

Not satisfied, the powers of Europe stewed over the previous two incidents and then decided to really get down and dirty. The Seven Years war was the first really 'global' war, involving every European great power of the time and spanning five continents. Roughly 1.25 million people got to shuffle their mortal coil off the world thanks, in part, to a little trade war over an ear.

Happy 12th Siftiversary (Sift Talk Post)

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I'm not the kind of man
Who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Oh still crazy after all these years

The Invisible Pollution Deafening Cities Worldwide

Fairbs says...

I think the study with the kids being behind in reading because they face the train is misleading. It's a distraction sure, but it isn't about damage to your ears.

The Invisible Pollution Deafening Cities Worldwide

newtboy says...

My freaking ears!

Noise was definitely a factor in wanting to leave the bay area, but far from the main reason.
Where I live now, it's often so quiet I can hear the ocean from about 9 miles away.

New Rule: Distinction Deniers

newtboy says...

Get your ears, and overt outdated biases checked.
I heard plenty of women whooping in agreement.

Women don't have a monopoly on being abused, men do not have a monopoly on being perpetrators, as the article/study linked above proved conclusively. Shed your bias and use your brain.

As for hearing the whooping differently than did @00Scu00, I immediately thought of this tweet that is making the rounds of women's Facebook walls. Written by a man:

"Conversation with female friends about dating.

I said I liked dating, even bad dates, because dating can be a kind of adventure. Worst case, you learn something about yourself.

Female friend something like, "No, worst case is I'm raped and killed."

That's when I got it."

That whooping didn't sound like relieved whooping to me. It sounded sounded scary to me. Because of this tweet, what this tweet is saying.

Because most men don't get it. That whooping is proof.

We hear with different ears, men and women. Because we have different experiences and have different fears. Real fears.

And we would really, really like to feel like the vast majority of men are our allies and "get it," as this tweeting guy finally got it.

(You think I agree with every single word written by every single woman? Let me assure you that I don't. As if that even needs saying.)
