    Bose quiet comfort. I dont put my ears in the water when I do this. They have capacitive touch controls so they will start cycling through the different noise canceling modes if they get even a few drops of water.

    This works great in the bath, and fine in the shower if I’m not washing my hair.

    I used to have some beats that had a mechanical button and they did even better because the little bit of moisture wouldn’t start activating the mode swapping or volume changes.












  • I didn’t think I’d have a problem with his bit given how much I liked the movie, but it definitely hits different today.

    He lost me when he first started ramping up and suggested a means of control was to make us feel small and insignificant. I don’t feel that way. In fact, I feel the opposite. I’m not in a position to fix the worlds problems, but I see the influence of my will in the external world all the time. So that part felt a little gasslight-ey. Double that with knowing he goes on to build a huge platform and does absolute evil shit with it – you absolutely cannot tell me my quiet influcce is insignificant. Fuck you(AJ) dude. Also, felt like he’s projecting there, which is pretty modus a operandi for Jonesey – but maybe thats coded by my knowledge of his story since this clip.

    Also, I am personally very intolerant of people hollering at me. So that didn’t help, but I did think the color changes in his face were hilarious additions to the animation. That animation made it worth finishing the clip. Lol


  • It has been so long since I watched, I totally don’t remember his bit at all. I learned of the connection on an episode of Behind the Bastards podcast. As soon as they mentioned it, I can totally hear his voice in it even though I don’t remember what he says. Apparently back then it was not super clear what a terrible person he would become, and he was a key figure in the “Keep Austin Weird” part of Austin TX. So it all kinda makes sense in context.
