Thumping Bass and Charity Claps

(Maryam was complaining about her neighbor's loud thumping music)

Sam: Maryam: Neighbors thumping bass is the worst experience you can have in a first world country.
Sentynel: Thumping tuna is totally okay, though.
Goosey: LOL
Sam: I endured that through college and the housing row we lived in afterward. It made me murderous.
Sam: It's now a major consideration in choosing wherever we move to. If it looks like I might have to endure thumping bass from someone, I don't live there.
Sam: It's not always easy to know, of course.
Sentynel: If I almost never hear thumping bass, does this mean it's mine annoying everyone else?
Sam: Bad memories of when I was in college and being woken up at 4am because the drunk idiots next door had a humongous stereo set up against my wall.
Sam: If I was playing music when they turned that thing on, I stopped being able to hear MY OWN music.
Sentynel: ...wow.
Sentynel: https://xkcd.com/368/
Sam: I can't even stand it now when a car goes by whose occupant is blasting a subwoofer too loud.
Sam: ...Like in that strip.
Sentynel: Precognitively relevant xkcd!
Sam: Precognitive Relevance would be a good name for a band.
Sentynel: Ooh, yes.
Sam: Or a tumblr, before you go and fetch that xkcd comic too.
Sentynel: LOL
Sentynel: Dammit.
Sentynel: I totally was as well.
Sam: Oh, go ahead.
Sentynel: https://xkcd.com/1025/
* Sam claps politely.
Sentynel: Thanks.
Goosey: LOL
