We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.

That scene in Idiocracy where the smart couple fail to reproduce comes to mind.

Being illiterate has no correlation with wanting other people to do all the work for me. We’re just lazy. Please do some homework before jumping to conclusions.

I always thought this one was pretty… WEIRD…

Being a kid with ADHD, all of them. Each and every service drove me to the brink of insanity. I stopped going once I was old enough to decide for myself.

I wore some of these at work for a while to listen to music, since earbuds were an OSHA safetey issue.

• They are horrible in loud environments. I had to turn them up so high thay they would vibrate, which was an unpleasent feeling.
• However, you can still hear them fine with OSHA approved earplugs, but then the music sounds all muffled.
• You can find lots of different ones on Amazon and such just by searching for bone conduction headphones, ranging from cheap to expensive.
• The ones I got cost about $20 at the time, and had an okay sound quality, but not much bass.

I leaned about these from the Soundband Kickstarter over a decade ago, whoch I backed. None of the backers ever got a product, as it seems the creators dropped the project and ran with the money. Those ones had the bone-conduction wrap around the ear. Instead of sit on the bone in front of the ear.

Edit, to add a few points:

• They were comfortable enough to wear for several hours, but the vibration got real annoying if I had to turn up the volume due to a loud environment. The band that wraps around the ears could get uncomfortable after a while.
• It didn’t irratate my skin, but vibration at loud volumes was uncomfortable.
• I wore these with glasses no problem.
• The band that wraps around wasn’t tight, but fit okay enough to not flop around while working. Not sure about for jogging or other work-outs.

Nobody _earns a billion dollars. It can only be stolen and exploited from other peoples’ labor.

I think games as a while have shifted focus from being fun to being addicting, with few exceptions. Little Big Planet and Twisted Metal were fun; Roblox wants your money. And then there’s the micro transaction hell that plagues mobile games, which seem to be most of what children play or only have access to these days.

I actually saw this documentary about people with a quicksand fetish, who go out in groups and just lounge in quicksand (without the getting swallowed/dying part). They said they loved the way it felt on their skin and being enveloped by it, among other things. It wasn’t desert quicksand, but it looked kind of wet.

I think most real-life examples have been plagued by corruption to the point that they fall into a different category altogether.

I don’t use it myself, but I believe Proton (or Proton Mail?) doesn’t require any additional info. At least back when I checked it out before. There’s also mail.com, as well as a plethora of pros & cons lists for email providers out there to google (with add blockers).
