      This will be selectively enforced only against “low-class” individuals, and not against boomers.

      I was playing my steam deck in public recently and my 3yo said to me “Daddy! Why I can’t hear it!?” and I had to explain to him that no one else wants to listen to the sounds of Vampire Survivers, and he really just didn’t get it. Baby Brain confirmed.

    Please let the UK do something similar. People who play their music on the bus without headphones pisses me off beyond words.

    That’s… A lot of money

    If its anything like most places, it won’t be super strictly enforced, but still. I hope its at least done by income.

    i used to work in a lab/classroom building on a campus, so it was a fun mix of staff, professors, and students at any given time.

    anyway, one time im doing a #2 in a stall and this guy comes in with his jams going full tilt from his phone’s external speakers, i guess mounted on his backpack, so we could all enjoy his selections.

    i cannot imagine taking up that much space in communal areas, but people ride harleys through tiny little micropolitan downtowns without being clotheslined, so i guess it will continue.

    Just put a Vulcan on every bus, and let them handle it with a nerve pinch like Spock did in Star Trek IV: Voyage Home.

      As I can attest from my own political journey, Singapore is like what China is for leftists, but for liberals frustrated with the ineffectiveness and short-sightedness of Western liberalism. Its British-influenced institutions and West-centric international style, also make it more approachable than other “authoritarianisms of the East”
