You might be able to clear (or at least relieve) some of the pressure by doing a Eustachian Tube Massage
Apply pressure to the area below the ear and just behind the jaw bone, then follow the jawline down to the neck (I'm not sure if you go under the jaw or straight down the neck. I do both)
It might be your phone getting a notification, and sending that to the BT speaker, which then takes precedent over the laptop
I usually just disable BT on my phone when stuff like that happens (on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)
I think most people make the assumption that the current owner has always been the owner, and therefore they're the cause of obesity
It also doesn't help that the human obesity epidemic, and "body positivity" movement tend to normalize obesity in people's minds. I think some of the comments (mine included) are a response to this
Also, some owners just don't realize that they are overfeeding their pets, nor the damage that does to their pets
But that doesn't mean rude, insulting, or assumptive comments are justified
I would suggest mentioning your efforts at weight loss whenever you post pics, just to head off the stream of comments about the subject. That way, people can see you're both cognizant and proactive with the issue
I've been playing Sea of Stars lately
I like it a lot, and the story is very interesting
