      That was such a depressing realization when I first had it… If there is an afterlife, the one thing that might make me happier than seeing my lost loved ones may be not having to hear “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” behind the themes from various TV shows and video games playing constantly in my head.

      Protect your ears kids. Tinnitus doesn’t just go away. That concert you’re going to? Totally going to fuck up your hearing permanently, whether you think so or not. No, we’re not just being old. We know from experience. That shit’s louder than you think. Enjoy responsibly.

        Very true. You’ll hear the concert with good earplugs better than without.
