You won't find these people online, but I can assure you that they exist in numbers.

You don't mind the stench? Their washers are notoriously stinky because water gets trapped where it shouldn't. I had to clean mine every week.

I understand that but I wasn't about to go full English teacher on people. Maybe it's condescending, but when speaking in public or online, I prefer to explain things in a simplified way that the general public can understand. My girlfriend likes to accuse me of mansplaining; I won't argue that it is an incorrect assessment.

I don't think I have that because I recall music the same way. Usually it's just the chorus or a verse playing on loop, though, and the actual song never sounds exactly how I remember it.

True, haha. I'm the oldest and my youngest sibling was also born in 1995. She had all the things that 90s kids had, thanks to hand-me-downs. Cassette Walkmans, N64, Windows 95, flip phones with black and white screens + no camera, etc.

That's a fair assessment. She is the youngest and her asshole siblings would never let her use their game consoles. She didn't get her own until age 10.

But to be even more fair, I didn't get my first console (N64) until I was 9. Some kids were lucky enough to have parents willing to buy them expensive electronics at a younger age. Neither of us were that lucky/spoiled. But my neighbor who was one year younger than me had a SNES and a PC. I didn't get my own PC until 2004. Until then everyone except my dad had to share the living room computer, and it had the shittiest GPU in the world—GeForce4 MX 4000—which was basically a scam card. But it was good enough to run Driver and Spider-Man (the one based on the first Tobey film), so it was good enough for me. Half-Life 2 was out of the question, though.

No I can picture things in my head, just not as a vivid image. Images in my mind are vague and detail-less. Like dreams. Mostly I remember the emotions associated with the memory, not what my surroundings looked like at the time.

FWIW I have ADHD, so asking me to remember anything with any sort of detail is already a challenge enough as-is.

Dude it's the same meme. You're being pedantic.

Etymotic makes exactly what you're looking for.

That said, there is no such thing as hearing protection that doesn't muffle high frequencies at least somewhat. But what you can do instead is buy earbuds with ANC + audio pass through and foam tips. But keep in mind that the audio will be colored by the frequency response of the headphones, making live audio sound more like a recording. You'll still get the benefits of the live experience, however, because you'll still be able to feel the bass.

Keep in mind that these kind of earbuds are basically hearing aids, however. So they won't be cheap. They're known as "hearables" and "OTC hearing aids". And not all of them form a seal around your ear, which means that not all of them are suitable for hearing protection. Which why you'll need to do your homework and find some that have foam tips. Also be prepared to spend hundreds, possibly thousands.

Or you can just deal with a little bit of muffled audio and buy the Etymotic earplugs. That's what I would do.

"NSFW" simply means anything you wouldn't want your boss to see over your shoulder if they so happened to walk by. It doesn't have to be pornographic.

Well yeah; to see the glowing effect of Uranium glass, you need to put it under a UV light.

Why do the best memes always have to be morphed into a shitty anime version?
