We failed when acting like an asshole changed from being rudeness and the implied lack of civilisation and instead became a sign of dominance, like in a wildlife documentary.
It’s incredibly frustrating how many people can’t go a few minutes without obnoxiously loud sound. It’s even worse if you’re in an apartment or other close quarters because people assume playing something loud enough to hear on the opposite side of the building is their God-given right.
I’ve been daydreaming about making a low-stimulus housing community lately, but I’m sure it has nothing to do with my sensory processing disorder not being compatible with existence in a modern world
Are you American? I ask because I’ve been told in a lot of other places it’s abnormal to have paper thin walls without sound insulation, where you can hear every fart a neighbor makes. I’ve only ever rented in paper-walled shitholes in the US, so I couldn’t say. Either way, it pisses me off even more that this is a solvable problem that landlords have simply chosen to not solve, because it’s cheaper and they don’t have to live with the literal health consequences of constant noise pollution.

My phone literally doesn’t support those, pops up a little warning and everything.
USB Sound card with an OTG adapter works but like, come, that’s horseshit.
There are many USB-C audio dongles with an integrated dac. You just happened to buy one without a dac, and is thus not supported by your phone
