Your ears are one of the most awesome tools you have at your disposal. You get to listen to awesome music and talk to those around you with ease and remain aware of threats like cars when crossing the road. As you age your hearing will decay naturally, however you can prevent your hearing from worsening by doing things such as wearing earplugs for noisy situations like concerts or Mediterranean family gatherings and keeping the volume of the music you're listening to at comfortably low levels, whether you're listening through headphones, speakers or sound systems like those in cars.

At the same time. be sure to respect the hearing of others. Avoid yelling or speaking too loudly, even more so when in close proximity to one's ears. Warn those around you if you're going to do something which will make lots of noise. If you have guests with you at your home or in your car, be considerate and keep the volume at a comfortable level (a good rule of thumb is if you need to raise your voice to be heard over the music, then the music is too loud). Remember that some people might find it rude to ask you to lower the volume when they're uncomfortable with the volume, so make the effort to ensure everybody's hearing, including yours, are in good hands :)

All music is objective but some music is more objective than other

I am mistaken

What is / What counts as music? is another great music-related-philosophical thread idea but let's focus on the objectivity or lack-thereof of music for this one.

InternetIntellectual has a very interesting answer but I would still like to see what everybody else has to say

vladVlad whilst I agree with what you say, I'm 99% sure crabf was kidding and there's no need to get so toxic. There was another music related thread last week were you also went a bit off the handle about roughly the same thing. Just keep it civil my dude :)

Edit: Strikethroughd the part where I was mistaken

This statement does not hold water. If there is music which is objectively good, then automatically, any of the remaining music which isn't categorized as being such automatically becomes objectively bad music.

And what makes you say it is so?

Okay really? A guy asks a fucking question for mpuse reccomendations and y'all bring your aids brit circle jerk into this..no one outside of your in group thinks it's funny

And this happens in every fucking thread. Leave it in your own circle jerk threads rather than completely unrelated and productive threads.

Indie games died in 2012

Phil Fish may have seemed egotistical in Indie Game: The Movie and afterwards, but I honestly agreed with a majority of the things he had to say and felt his attitude towards things was justified considering what kind of a person he appears to be in the movie.

You deserve your own thread category where you can just post everything there so everyone can unsubscribe from it on god

I think it should be round the same time as last year, so late august-ish. Dates haven't been specified yet if I'm not mistaken.

Cornpop is such a cutie wtf

I go in for work later this week so no :( I've had plenty other bowls of cereal tho :D

I literally practice no flatground tricks whatsoever. Whenever I skate all I practice is flowing around the park as swiftly as possible cos that's what I find the most fun. Practicing tricks is just too frustrating for me to find it fun and put the effort into it. I think treflips are really cool, especially when landed very cleanly :)

I smoked for three years and quit last October. A lot of people, especially younger crowds smoke in Malta, so I do find myself a bit more prone to second hand smoke than I'd like to at time. I think there have definitely been a couple times before I went to hospital where I felt the sharp pain in my chest, but I didn't go to hospital those times because it subsided almost immedeatly

This is the first time I've been to hospital for any respiratory issue

I was given a chest drain from Friday till Sunday

Many CXRs and a couple ECGs. In my follow up appointment with the doctors they'll take a final CXR and they said they wanted to perform and ultrasound on my heart since I have a pigeon chest to make sure everything's in order.

Yes. I was told to avoid flying for the next few weeks and that I am not to scuba dive ever. They also said that I am basically not allowed to become a pilot, which is okay cos I never really had plans. Also what exactly is non-invasive ventilation?

I'm actually Maltese. We have a national hospital which we pay for in taxes, but we can also go to private hospitals which can be paid for.

I'm not sure if by PSP you're referring to the pneuomothorax (on my medical report it was abbreviated as PNX). If by imaging you're asking for me to scan and send you a few of the xrays they've taken, I definitely don't mind doing that, it's just that I was not given the xrays myself, however I will try to ask for them and follow up with you on that :) Thanks for the questions <3

Hey all. Would just like to let you know that I am now fresh out of hospital and am feeling a lot better :) However the doctors said that there is a very good chance I might end up there again with the same thing happening to me, at least the next time it happens I should be in good hands.

It's good to be in the comfort of my own home, away from all the smelly old people with dementia and the microwaved-to-shit hospital food. Thank you all so much for helping fend off my boredom with your questions <3 (however feel free to keep asking me stuff lol)
