To add on to this, noise reducing earplugs are also a thing - search for “concert earplugs” or something like that.

Using them I was able to watch Godzilla in a movie theater without constantly wincing as well as go to a concert at a bar and actually have a decent time. Highly recommend for general use, I carry them everywhere now.

which is not even remotely true or accurate, but that's another story

Why do you say that? My understanding is that "only two choices" is true and accurate because of how the electoral college works.

I mean, most idioms are silly if you take them at face value.

To me, “easier said than done” is a response to an unrealistic idea that carries the meaning of “I don’t think that’ll work”/“that’s too much”/"etc.

If I told a friend “hey let’s make spaghetti for dinner” and they replied “easier said than done” I’d be like “…okay, you’re technically correct, but I want spaghetti so I’m gonna do that anyways”

But if I told a friend “hey let’s solve world hunger today” and they replied “easier said than done” I’d be like “yeah, I know…maybe we can go help out at a soup kitchen?”
