These are but short windows into a rich tapestry of lives. Of course we may find them confusing, lacking the proper context and life experiences that led to this specific moment. Truly, how can any person hope to bridge that chasm and truly understand another?
One thing I can say for certain though, is that a Dennys ought to have ham.
I wonder how many people are browsing this thread to help improve their personal word filters, although the names in the title would probably hide it from anyone that has those set up already.
RES supports filters, a number of lemmy apps do, and I think piefed has it built in.
I appreciate and agree with this sentiment entirely, but the people who need to hear it won’t.
Lots of people crowing about the (I think it was) Chinese idea of solidarity, where the peaceful protestors shouldn’t undercut or decry the violent protestors because they’re all on the same side. They missed that the incredibly oversimplified concept is meant to flow both ways.
Yes, this isn’t enough, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t also an important step in the right direction. The way this is worded definitely sounds like a party switch. If he’s the horrible asshole everyone here thinks he is, it’s not like it ever takes long for these folks to demonstrate it again.
I don’t make it a habit to check, but it has been fun to check and call out in precisely two scenarios.
One user and I deep into a sub thread on a multiple day old post arguing about ettiquette here. Was weird to get multiple downvotes on those sorts of comments. They were using their “abandoned” alts.
Another thread where I had repeatedly asked someone to share the source for their claim despite them insisting that I just wasn’t googling right. I offered them to edit literally every comment (multiple thousand) on this account to sing their praises. Downvoted with no response.
In moderation. Everyone needs a way to lazily recharge. But make no mistake that even though it’s engaging, it’s only better for you than mindless content consumption by very thin margins.
Oh shit lol, didn’t even catch that myself.
I’m not who you asked for context.
You even took the time to edit this comment and didn’t check who you were replying to?
Lol, wow. You just keep going deeper.
I’m teasing you a little about the clear chip on your shoulder, but I’m completely serious about the fact that you are broadcasting that chip loudly and that it’s a you problem.
You immediately jumping to the conclusion that anyone ever making a complaint about noisy neghbors is in the wrong is ridiculous. Then your further insistence that anyone complaining about it that wants something done has to be calling for eviction or arrest is even more ridiculous.
Most people just want to be able to be in their house without hearing a domestic dispute through the walls, or without being able to make out exactly what songs their neighbor is listening to for multiple hours every day. The goal is to get that to stop, or at least lessen. The solution to achieve that is “whatever it takes, starting with the reasonable options”.
If, after multiple polite conversations, and maybe even some not so polite ones, the neighbor continues or escalates? The loud neighbor has then chosen the severity of the solution by denying the reasonable ones. If you’ve had a neighbor talk to you about your noise repeatedly, then you were the problem, not them.
You can get a sheet of pads to make cabinets and doors more quiet for like $5. You can wear headphones for your music.
Personally, like I said in my last comment, I wouldn’t escalate past talking to them and the landlord. Historically I’ve lived in complexes large enough that a noisy person could be moved to another unit if the landlord had recieved a ton of complaints, which would be my hope from the landlord at the absolute most absurd extreme. If nothing changed, I’d live with it and curse about it a lot. Probably bang on the wall on egregious occasions. Maybe blast something worse back right up against the wall rarely.
Man, I love the internet.
“I’m going to place your statement in a clearly uninetended context, extrapolate further hypothetical events from there, and then admonish you for your statement no longer being reasonable in that completely hypothetical situation!”
Rage? I’m not upset. You seem to be really invested in this though. I was being somewhat flippant in my last comment about the problem likely being you if you’ve somehow been the target of multiple noise complaints or if you’ve somehow known multiple people who would want someone evicted for a basic noise compaint, but this really is coming across as something personal for you.
The only person who mentioned eviction is you. And OP clearly isn’t calling the cops on their neighbors, otherwise the landlord saying they needed a police report wouldn’t be anywhere as much of a problem.
If a polite conversation doesn’t work, and a not so polite conversation doesn’t work, and the landlord stepping in doesn’t work, then we’re all adults and can just be increasingly passive agressive.
ELITE? Really, of all the things to name it?
Well I guess they know who they’re marketing to.
That’s cool, because you willfully misinterpreted OP to start with.
The obvious implication with what they’re saying is people doing it egregiously.
“Someone who likes slamming things” doesn’t usually mean people just using their shit reasonably, it’s also not “literally all my neighbors slam things all the time and I have no concept that the cabinets just might be shit in every unit”.
It’s talking about an outlier.
There’s more room to interpret “or who plays loud music” as maybe referring to someone doing a one off thing, but that’s borderline taking OP in bad faith.
There are absolutely people who rant about gnat farts, but if you’ve encountered any significant amount, I’d suggest you’re probably a lot louder than you think you’re being.
Toss some rooftop park/garden/green spaces up there as well and they’d be pretty damn great, as far as skyscrapers go.
Needs a nice thick vein, like a snicker’s bar.
I don’t think it’s anything that remotely “kind”. I think it’s an attempt to further the wealth divide using intelligence as a proxy to try and perpetuate a more easily controlled populace.
If you want an easily controlled populace, wouldn’t you want to increase the amount of intelligent people opting out of perpetuating their intelligence? Wouldn’t you want more of the type of person who would have a kid by accident?
I get that intelligence propagates through teaching, adopting is a thing, etc, but I’m talking broad strokes here.
I’ll fully admit it’s conspiracy minded as all hell and awful close to “race replacement” bullshit (get me a vomit bag please). I just look at the type of people who are choosing to not have kids lately and go “but you’re the exact type of people who are being a wonderful thorn in the side of the billionaires! We need more of you!”
So get teaching. Go be a community role model. Make sure you spread the knowledge and amti-establishment attitude even if you don’t have crotch goblins.
As evidence: How the fuck is a company as big as Microsoft letting their CEO keep making such embarassing public statements? How the fuck has he not been forced into more public speaking training by the board?
This is like the 4th “gaffe” of his since the start of the year!
You don’t usually need “social permission” to do something good. Mentioning that is at best, publicly stating that you think you know what’s best for society (and they don’t). I think the more direct interpretation is that you’re openly admitting you’re doing the type of thing that you should have asked permission for, but didn’t.
This is past the point of open desperation.
Initially connect when the target isn’t home, as a number of speakers make a distinct “startup” noise when a device connects.
After that, bear in mind that most bluetooth speakers have a small delay before they play audio, and this often means that the first second or so of audio will be cut off. Unless you use another app to keep a constant silent noise playing. The silence being sent as audio to play effectively “warms up” the speaker so the cut off portion is during the silence, not the actual noise you want. Some speakers need this silence to be infintessimally quiet static, as they’ll just drop pure silence. Pretty sure there’s an app on F-Droid for this.
You wouldn’t want your friend to only hear part of the chirp after all.
Also, most devices with a screen have a way to display the name of what device is connected. This especially applies to casting to screens. Name your phone something generic for safety.
Was there anything at all that helped?
Sounds frustratingly similar to something I’ve been dealing with.
Then you do, in fact, want to be here. So fuck off with the bullshit and accept that you’ve decided you’re here for the ride.
This isn’t tough and the tldr is my first post, but you’re clearly more interested in wallowing in it than moving past your disordered thinking.
Isn’t at least one of them actually a marine research vessel, run by a group he founded/funds?
I get that he’s not our friend like a lot of people think just because his company is less shit, but he seems to have at least a crumb of his soul left.
