If you do not have the title, try the author and year with general keywords about the topic summarized.
Often newspapers and others will intentionally NOT cite the source directly.
The fuckers.
I say intentionally because I HAVE NOT YET SEEN A SINGLE JOURNALIST NOT LIE ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF A STUDY
That is true, but also why I don't ever read the news about research.
_EVER!_
_NOT ONCE EVER_

If a journalist ever wants to interview me I have only one answer.
"Go fuck yourself"
An honest journalist is like an honest prosecutor. They play cards with Jesus and Santa on Thanksgiving.
*snerk*
Welp its been fun but I got to go outside for a while. Look forward to talking to you again @Wojak
see ya
The Sound of Silence
That's one of my favorite songs.
I like the original and disturbed's cover.
Disturb's cover is one of the worst covers I've ever heard.
Fiteme <:ree:480188470942498827>
Enh.
It misses the point, all the points and all possible points, and radically alters the song to unrecognizability in a manner that renders the lyrics useless.
Ramping up to pointless screaming (comparatively so) doesn't deliver the message, it does the _opposite_.
You're allowed to have a wrong opinion.
_The song was presented monotonously for a reason_
I don't think it was meant to be just a replay with different musicians. Covers are supposed to reinterpret the song.
I liked both.
You're allowed to have a wrong opinion.
;p
I'm listening to the original right now.
I'm just being a shit.
Though I honestly don't like Disturbed's cover.
I didn't realize there was another cover. Imma find it next.
Also, the original is not that monotone. That's just Simon and Garfunkel's style.
Uh, no.
If you're going to claim that you reaaaaaaaaally don't know Simon and Garfunkel.
My dad listened to them all through my youth.
Also, this pentatonix version is fuckin' weird.
And so did mine, and my grandmother.
Yes, they did typically sing in a basic harmonic style, but it's not monotonous as this song is on average.
So, the PTX is an interesting interpretation. Not really to my tastes.
But they don't outright insult the song like that recent cover of Toto's Africa.
