Fucking Bruges.
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 3 days ago:
Well, dawg, I’ve spent most of my life living in a completely different world than most posters on Lemmy.
And yes, I hunt, fish, eat meat, drive a truck, have a beard. I also talk funny. I have castrated calves. Been backup in large deals. Dealt with thieving meth heads. Done amateur surgery.
I don’t live in my mother’s urban basement eating chicken tendies.
But yeah, that’s my white squirrel.

Yes. It’s cruel, but if you pushed him far enough, he would be committed. Op hasn’t been able to get effective help from the government/social system.
Sounds like he’s older and there are physically stronger people in OPs house so if it escalated, they can defend without much trouble.
Cancer mom beats schizophrenic neighbor. If causing the neighbor to decompensate gets her peace, so be it. This is not a difficult ethical problem, the expedient solution is just illegal.
I’ve done and will do a whole lot to take care of my loved ones. Society sure isn’t.

I’m being downvoted to hell for it, but I’ve done similar things in the past. I’m used to corrupt ineffective cops, sometimes you just have fix shit and be done with it.
IDK, it’s redneck but a quick frame up would at least end the noise.

It’s your mama with cancer really being hurt here. Ethically, that gives you options. Sucks for your neighbor, he can’t help it.
Fastest solution is to wait for him to leave the house and post a lookout. Make entry and destroy every speaker you can find. Decorate broken items with something that is a feature of his behavior such as a common phrase or food item.
When he gets home and throws a fit, call the cops on him and deny everything and act frustrated and put out. Talk about your sick mother. This may fix it, it not, at least make it much better.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 3 days ago:
Holy shit! Are you really unironically defending the North Korean government? Like, are you trolling?
Woah. That’s pretty wild. If you’re not trolling, what country are you from and how would you describe yourself politically? Where do you get your news?
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 4 days ago:
I’ve only got 32tb in the family Raid 5 (actually 24TB since I lose a drive to parity), but my girl really loves her trash TV while she works so we’re on like 90% full.
And I’m just a podunk machinist.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 week ago:
It’s a mostly untestable premise unless somebody manages to crack into the system or find a smoking gun.
So, it’s slightly less improbable than some sort of god.
It sure is a neat idea that feels right. So, yeah religion.
I tell my girl all the time that she can have as many ponies and unicorns as she wants when we all go live in the computer someday.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 1 week ago:
I’m on my second marriage, 10 years in this one and 13 in the first.
My relationship is easy. We don’t argue, we have the same goals, she’s my best friend, sex is a science where we know the other’s responses and are creative. We face hard things together. I could go on. It’s easy to love her.
Nothing like my first marriage, it was hell.

I do have faith that some random dude in Pakistan will figure out how to unlock a sensor using a paperclip and a 555 timer and will post it to YouTube.
If the person in the video is wearing flip flops and smoking, tends to be good info.

I think OP is talking about Short Circuit. OP also may be having a stroke, be suffering from dementia, or have snorted Benadryl.
- Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal 1 week ago:
I thought middle management was the guy in between the crew and upper management?
Absolute shit stressful job, btw. Never doing that shit again. If you have a heart, that job will kill it.
- Comment on U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs 1 week ago:
Whore isn’t really gendered? There are more female whores than male whores in sex work but there are more male whores in politics than female. It is an insult about submission and service with a sexual connotation.
I think you’re seeing a difference in cultural weighting of common profanity. I’m from the deep south of the US.
I’m used to cunt being considered more offensive than whore. Whore is a milder obscenity than fuck, shit, or cunt. It is similar to slut, dick, or piss.
- Comment on Bookmark 2 weeks ago:
Probably pulp where the author churns out tons of stuff. Their name is more important than the title. You see it with historical fiction, romances, Westerns.
Don’t get me wrong, love me some pulp. It’s the comfort food of literature.

Wait, what did they do to the peace sign? Also, what about the hand signal?
- Comment on U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs 2 weeks ago:
It’s probably the word ‘whore’. Similar to ‘cunt’, it hits a little different from ‘prostitute’ or ‘pussy’.
Culturally, ‘whore’ is an acceptable word for me to use. Any permutation of the N word is not.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time among drag queens(not necessarily sex workers but there is overlap), strippers, prostitutes and crack whores. Most of them are decent folks in hard times. It is rare that people willingly choose sex work, instead, it’s usually desperation and addiction. A desperate population does desperate things like petty crime.
- Comment on U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs 2 weeks ago:
A sex worker can be a honest whore. Nothing wrong with being a honest whore.
Now being a sales weasel and making backroom deals, that’s a lying whore.

Daaaang! That totally makes sense. It’s always quality lab that does UV or small shops outsourcing dye pen and I’ve never done it.

Two governors in one movie. Not sure what that says, but it’s nothing good.
- Comment on They encased the filter 2 weeks ago:
There is always, always one pair of these in the safety cabinet. Nobody knows how it got there, nobody ever uses them cause you work inside under artificial light and you need real sunglasses out in the yard or welding goggles. They’re probably 20 years old sitting in that cabinet.
I’m labeling the next pair I find, “Portable Mexico.”
Delivering bad news? Hand them Portable Mexico and a Corona.

This is why I don’t like the IA+ LGBTQIA+. Q was a good stopping point because queer is such a great way of saying “it’s complicated but not straight.”
Queer is a nice big tent we can all get under instead of performative labeling or over complication.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 3 weeks ago:
Damn skippy. Gaslighting and basic ass lying are different things. But hey, it’s trendy right now. Next, we’ll find out how he’s a malignant narcissist.
Dude posted a shill review. It’s called shilling. It’s a form of lying for profit. He likely did it to advance his career or because he was afraid not to. His employer likely encouraged the action without directly ordering it.

- Comment on Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online? 4 weeks ago:
The point I’m driving at is that they are spouting leftist talking points but have cranked up the fervor to 11. It’s frothing at the mouth type behavior and it genuinely confuses me as to if that is a real viewpoint or a shill. I’m not making a binary snap judgment, I’m questioning if that’s even a real person and what happened to them if they are real.
- Comment on Are We All Becoming More Hostile Online? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah. I see a surprising amount of it on Lemmy. It is behavior I’m used to seeing from the far right, Qanon, and other brainwashed vectors. I watched the Russians propagandize the right on Reddit.
These, however, are nominal leftists engaging in stark black and white thinking. I’m not sure if they’re state level shills, bots, really believe it and are brainwashed tankies, or true believers living in China or similar. Maybe it’s dumb kids being taken in by propaganda.
- Comment on Has Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
I imagine the pipeline for a lot of users is some variant of:
BBS/Usenet | Slashdot/SomethingAwful/Ars Technica | Digg | Reddit | Lemmy
