In case anyone else is curious, the essay is simply titled “On Noise.”
why do I have to log in to read something “free online”? ahh…
We need a work named “On jstor”
just abolish jstor and the likes
Fuckin jstor pay walling this kind of stuff is wild
I’m not autistic, nor have I ever gravely injured someone through my own action (or inaction) that I know of, but I will tell you this: I don’t understand how these attention-starved children driving these rice burners with their goddamn POW POW UNF POW exhaust systems (and you fuckers know what I’m talking about) are allowed to exist.
I am not a violent person, but I would read their obituaries with great satisfaction.
As a former rider who had a very quite bike and almost got killed by a driver, I totally understand the desire to have a noisy bike. Noisy bikes save lives.
Noisy bikes piss off your neighbors. Loud pipes DON’T save lives, they make people hate you. Car cabins have become quieter over the years and all you do is get louder for no reason.
Want to be safe? Follow the rules of the road. Don’t weave in and out of cars. Be predictable. DON’T lane split. Be visible (don’t wear all black at night). These are the only types of bikers I ever see.
If Reddit and Lemmy have taught me anything, it’s that if ACAB then AMAA (All Motorcyclists Are Assholes)

Just for decoration!
But how else will they tell everyone that they’re big and tough?
I can’t get over how DSG exhaust sound like farts.
Its completely unnecessary too.
I wouldn’t push a woman down the stairs, but I could see myself writing an essay on why only dumb people can tolerate loud noises and that being loud should be made illegal.
Hey I think you tried to store json in a string field
/s
can confirm, am dumbasses, like loud noisy music
loud noisy music actually doesn’t bother me as much as say, quiet, crinkly plastic being wrapped/unwrapped.
you’d have my vote
Everyone get in here, we’re voting on essays!
being loud should be made illegal
Joke is that it did. Now Germany has its Nachtruhe
I’m an immigrant in Germany and my boss (from here) recently asked me if it was a jerk move to do laundry on a Sunday if she checked with her neighbors first.
It made me realize I’ve been such an unintentional asshole. I’ve been avoiding things like carpentry and band practice, not laundry. There’s a guy on my street who mows the lawn before nine in the morning on Sundays though, so I’m not the worst in my neighborhood.
There’s a guy on my street who mows the lawn before nine in the morning
These people are the worst
Nah, it’s fine. Only the younguns sleep that long.
Excessive noise is bad, violence is worse. Moral licensing for escalating is a hell of a drug.
So what would be appropriate response for excessive noise? Sand in their shoes?
violence is fine, just has to precise and for the right purpose
Same with noise lol
Contrast Charles Babbage, who was actively harassed by deliberately shitty street musicians, whose business model was to be paid to fuck off.
this guy was so unbelievably based
man gets annoyed by loud noises, escalates to violence
Sooooo based, bro
