  • The Sony earbuds I have have an “ambient sound” setting that actively brings in exterior sounds along with whatever you’re playing. Depending on the scenario sometimes I’ll wear my earbuds to send the “prefer not to interact” signal while not even listening to anything but with the ambient setting on. Yes, it’s like listening to the room with extra steps, but with the outward appearance that I’m not listening to anyone around me.








  • In 2019 I lost my job and ended up on unemployment. At the time my sons were all still living with me, 20, 18, and 17yo. Unemployment +1 dependant was enough to cover my modest mortgage. My other 2 sons paid the utilities and anything else came from my savings account. We received $15mo in Snap benefits.

    It’s hard not to slap people who think people with Snap are skating through life.
