Chain Listening

to play a song once, before immediately starting it again once you have finished, similar to the way that people chain smoke. can turn amazing songs into an irritating occurrence.

"i like the song Clouds over California. i'll play it again.!
oh my god, thats like the 20 time in a row you've restarted that song. i still like it, but if you continue chain listening to it any more, i'll kill you!"

hard listener

when you tell someone something, they acknowledge they hear you, and don’t do it or do the opposite. it’s not that they don’t care or hate you, you just can’t get your point across to them so you have to dumb it down.

Jack and rock are hard listeners. what does that mean? they’re fucking dumb

designated listener

A person who may not understand what you're describing, but explaining a complex issue to them helps you better understand the problem, and therefore find a solution.

Although Jane does not know anything about machine learning she is happy to be John's designated listener when he describes the programming interface problems he is having with CHATGPT. In the process he was able to identify that he was using the wrong model/engine.
