Hearing damage can be accumulative, a few popped balloons when your a kid can lead to hearing problems decades later, just like how we have learned that a kid who plays football can be affected when they are 30,

It’s been five weeks living out of a hotel. I can’t wait to go back home and have a home-cooked meal instead of eating take-out and canned food. Gonna make a giant pot of potatoes and beef stew and a big plate of spaghetti.

There are many other things in existence that contribute to the degradation of your hearing.  
Road noises, gun sounds, power tools, explosions, age, genetics lots of things.
 
But balloons? Maybe if people are popping them in a stream like fire crackers, that might be an issue.

You lack basic understanding of how the ear works.
 
No, sudden loud sounds like that won’t make you instantly deaf. But it can damage key parts of the ear that make you more susceptible to further damage.
 
Think of it like metal fatigue. The initial wear won’t bring down the building, but it makes further damage far worse.
 
And funny that you mention gun sounds, since the data show that large balloons being popped are of a higher decibel range than a shotgun blast. Would you shoot a shotgun without hearing protection?
 
I mean, you might, because you’re not the most understanding when it comes to the concept of “warnings”. If you weren’t at least semi-competent I’d swear you were in the running for a future Darwin Award. But thankfully, you’re smarter than that.

You’re bound to come across loud sounds several times in your life.  
Can you expect one to always be wearing ear protection?  
I’m sure your ear can take moderate amount of sound without the damage accumulating much and recover to a degree if you’re not grossly negligent.

And your body can take moderate amounts of radiation at times without serve damage, and you’re often exposed to unavoidable sources, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t maybe avoid the avoidable ones, or do something to mitigate any potential damage.
 
And actually no, the ear is a rather sensitive organ. Specifically, the little hairs that allow for the mechanical transduction of the sound vibrations into the electrical signals the brain will read. Powerful vibrations can throw them off kilter, and it doesn’t take much. The right conditions and those hairs can suffer permanent damage. It doesn’t take an extremely loud noise to do.
 
Ultimately, you’re being more unreasonable than normal. This isn’t making a mountain out of a mole hill, this is making a mountain out of a flat area.
 
Hearing experts that deal with pediatric studies, studied something that was relevant to their field, came to a conclusion, and published a paper on it. Said paper just happened to make the news.
 
You’re jumping off into the deep end because of your natural, and irrational penchant to label anything you don’t agree with or don’t understand as overreach.
 
It’s honestly rather sad.

Translating is a skill, and it’s not just fucking easy, I can’t believe there’s people out there who think it’s okay to discredit work like that. If you based your own translation or translyrics off of someone else’s you’re supposed to credit that, you didn’t make that translation solely on your own and based it off someone else’s work, give credit when credit is due, not because “oh but I don’t see anyone else doing it”.

A Perfectly Normal Pony - <DVE> ...I'll accept my ban on the condition I don't end up with a duck badge. Seeing "OP is a Troll" didn't help me calm down. But I'm not gonna fight it anymore.
Thread Starter - The RP Thread with no Sense!

Undesirable
I don’t understand it. I don’t understand the circumstances of this absolutely stupid situation:
 
Okay, so recently a user in the RP forums lost her Profile Pic because the content of it wasn’t safe. And then she begins to criticize mods and will very likely put in a NSFW image as the profile pic soon. The same fucking thing happened with another user in June. And that didn’t end well.
 
Why the fuck do you go to push the limits of the rules and CONTINUE to piss off moderators with NSFW profile pictures. It makes no fucking sense and when I mentioned it, I was told “It’s the internet.”
 
That is the dumbest fucking excuse I have ever heard.
 
The internet has websites. Websites have rules. You have to follow those rules if you like it or not. Why the fuck are you and another user blatantly breaking them? And continuing to push admins.
 
I have never tipped mods off when it comes to profiles pictures. But maybe I should start, if you go out to rule breaking like a dumbass, it needs to be known.
 
Next time I see an unsafe profile pic I’m just gonna report it. I even quit a thread because people began assuming it was because I hated one of the users with a NSFW profile pic. Wrong. I may dislike the user for their shitty attitude, but I don’t do much. If a user is breaking rules on purpose, I will give some criticism.
 
I don’t understand the level of stupidity I got. In fact, I think the level hit a brand new high I cannot imagine, that 3-4 months after fighting with mods over a NSFW profile pic, you go to put in another NSFW Profile Pic. Makes zero sense.
