I wrote about my upstairs neighbor before. For the past 8 months now he's been not just stomping but purposely slamming down on the floor with his full body weight. It's incredibly loud, the walls shake, you can here the plaster falling on the ceiling, the windows rattle. It's unnerving. It feels for a moment like the building Is collapsing.

At first he says he was doing it in retaliation for the noise HIS upstairs neighbors were making. Except that thise neighbors have been trying to be as quite as possible ever since he first did this. We've become friends over our shared experience with asshile neighbor.

They bought carpeting and wear thick socks, they tip toe around their own apartment so that this huge idiot doesn't have his tantrum, especially because they know we have the worst of it.

Both of us have been keeping track of when he does it. This is at random times, multiple times per day and nearly every day.

We immediately text each other to see if it was triggered by something we just did. But 99% of the time it wasn't anything either of us did.

We're watching a movie at low volume and people are just talking and he bounced off the ceiling. We're reading a book my son and I, and he's slamming the floor like he's wrestling the hulk. We're sleeping. We're not even home. I'm working quietly on my computer and am the only person home. Or neighbors reported him doing it times when NEITHER of us have been home!

On a rare occasion It's a response to some annavoidable accident. Like my son dropped a toy, or I dropped a pan, or I was closing the top of the window and lost my balance so I came down roughly. But these are rare events which do not warrant his immediate response of making it sound like the building is toppling on top of us.

This is having an effect on our mental and physical health. My anxiety is through the roof. I had to ask my doctor for a larger dose of my anxiety medication which increases the possibility of side effects. My wife's resting heart beat went from low 60s to low 80s in the span of two months. She's Allways on edge. Almost is brought to tears if my son so much as skips in the apartment. I've caught my 8 yo dropping a paper back book that barely made any sound and just staring at the ceiling terrified.

We can't live like this. We're always on our last nerves. Snapping at one another for the littlest things and it's because of this sack of shit upstairs.

It's like Chinese water torture. You don't know when it's going to happen next and you live in Constsnt anxiety over it.

This morning he did it again snd scared my little boy and I lost it and for the first time in 8 months retaliated by pounding on the ceiling like a fucking animal. When he starting jumping again I yelled out, I'm going to kick your ass if you don't stop.

I just completely lost it.

Now I know, I need to move. And we will as soon we can, but given the state of rents and home prices, realistically were talking 6 months to a year.

Is there anything I can do in the meantime? We've tried talking to the landlord, not just me but every neighbor around this guy, but he says he can't kick him out. He's spoken to him as well, telling him he can't act this way, but the behavior has not stopped.

I don't know what to do.
Lot of posters suggesting to call cops but Ree constantly screech ACAB.
The solution is simple just drown him out with something louder and more annoying.
Put GameXplain talking about a Nintendo trailer frame by frame for 2 hours on full blast or one of those Nintendo Direct speculation videos.

He'll tire himself out stomping and will be happy the sound is replaced by something else eventually.

Alternatively he will kill himself, in any case problem solved.

Walk upstairs. Knock on door. Wait for answer. Raise one eyebrow. Say “dude, really?!”.

If they know they’re being a dick, they’ll crumble. If not, they’ll ask what the fuck you’re talking about and learn they’re affecting other people. Most of the time, job done.

Gaaaaadamn. Me and my neighbours have a bunch of kids, and bunch of anti-social interests. Little bit of adult communication and we make it all work.

Best TomSci story

Remini Lemini
https://www.vulture.com/2015/11/tom-cruises-wedding-leah-reminis-book-troublemaker.html

Quote
There was an incident with cookie dough.
Remini writes that people were “terrified of offending Tom.” Once, he wanted to make cookies, and there was a package of prepackaged cookie dough on the counter. He asked, “Guys, where’s the cookie stuff?” The assistants fluttered around but they didn’t point out to him that it was right there on the counter. “Tom seemed like a child who had never been told no,” Remini observes. “Get in the fucking present time, is what you need to do!” he screamed at his assistant. He then gave a rundown of the hierarchy:

Still not noticing the log of pre-made dough on the counter, Tom raised his hand above his head. “LRH [L. Ron Hubbard] is here,” he said, then lowered his hand to his chin and said, “And Dave and I are here.” Then, with his hand down at his waist, he said, “And you are here.”

This painful scene mercifully ended when Remini nonchalantly said, “Oh wait. Tom, is this it?”

She had act like some big sister and be like, oh Tom, is that it?!  Look you found it!  What a big boy!  You deserve an extra big cookie.


I also like this story where she says Jennifer Aniston is not a douche.

Quote
“She was normal, unlike most other actresses, who … would accuse you of trying to ‘psych them out,’ ” Remini, now 45, writes. “So when you find someone, like Jennifer, who isn’t douche-y, you develop a natural camaraderie.”

Sounds like these guys are already part of the political system and not the 'rebels' they pretend to be, hence my comment that it's not as exciting as the article makes it sound.
Former mayor is like the most boring and common political backstory.

What surprises me most about South American politics is the high turnouts for such elections.

It isn't entirely due to events in other countries. Shootings have increased in Canada in recent years.

Canada's also one of the worst countries in the world for guns, it's just that America is so far beyond anyone else that it makes countries like Canada look good.

My feelings towards gun ownership remain the same between the countries, so I hope that handguns in Canada are banned, taken (via buyback programs if necessary), and destroyed.

It's not even remotely close to being the worst scene in the history of the franchise.

Especially when there is a blatantly misogynistic scene in Attack of the Clones that only exists because Lucas wanted to get an 18-year-old Natalie Portman into a crop top. You really think that Leia scene in TLJ is worse than this?

I'm trying to wrap my head around this response.

She (an 18-year-old) was wearing a full shirt. George Lucas (a 65-year-old at the time) wrote a scene in which half of that shirt would get ripped off during battle. That scene was designed to sexualize her. That is a fact. It isn't up for debate.

I point out that scene as an example of something that is worse than Leia floating in space your response is to... call me "disturbing" and compare me to a perverted preacher? What the actual hell is wrong with you?

Pretty sure the names of oil company executives are public knowledge, does he think they are some kind of top secret information you'd have to do some hardcore hacking to find? Or is this just an excuse so he doesn't have to "do [it] myself"?

This is great. Good on all the people deflating tires, hope this disrupts the whole convention so it never gets started and no guest speakers are allowed to drive in so the whole thing is cancelled.

i dislike how melodramatic people on ree get with this kida shit, just say its fucking annoying instead of "omg its affecting my mental health" type bullcrap.

I could see how it'd seem a bit hyperbolic for it to affect one's state of mind however it can happen, particularly if the noisemaking is believed to be intentionally disrupting along with the lack of resolution. There is also the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment which includes noise, however the threshold can be quite high for proving this.

Met someone it severely affected where they ended up in hospital from it. In that case they'd tried to resolve it but didn't have the means to move elsewhere and neighbor was a racist asshole.

Why have you not given up your tech and internet access yet?

Lead by example.
I actually have given up a lot of things. I'd happily give up my car if there was public transportation near me or I could get a remote job. I would also happily get an EV if I could afford it. I have not given up internet access because I need it for many things to live including entertainment, helping folks, and paying certain bills.
That entertainment is an unnecessary waste of energy use and a contribution to the problem, you need to give it up for the sake of everyone else and their kids futures.
It isn't unnecessary. Entertainment is necessary for survival by being good for my mental well-being. My entertainment also isn't inherently more dangerous towards pedestrians.

SUVs are unnecessary for a lot of folks. I know several folks who don't need them and could easily get by with a car.

So what do you propose that’s actually actionable and possible in the real world?
There are quite a few things but a lot of folks would be upset by it.

I do need people's support to get change. However, people have to be willing to sacrifice for change. It doesn't come easily and if they aren't willing to sacrifice something, things don't change.

What's sadder is that I don't expect any of these people to ever correct course. Admitting you've been taken for a ride and supporting an abuser that's doing her damnedest to undermine #MeToo's credibility and everything it stands for, just for her own personal gain, is a pill far too hard to swallow for many. If they were ever going to do it, they would already have.

Let this be a lesson that the left is no more immune to irrationality and cognitive dissonance than any other group. This could have been me, or you, if we had relied on snap judgements and heuristics instead of actually done our intellectual homework.

Progressives are lumping everyone who supports Depp in with the usual idiots on the Right who support anything that resembles anti-women. There’s zero nuance.

It’s £16 for 2m credits. If someone would rather pay that than spend an hour or so earning that amount, more fool them.

And FOMO? lol. Everything cycles, nothing is gone for good. I missed the F50 first time round, so I earned and saved for when it would cycle again.

What is with this sense of entitlement that everything should be available right now? Folks need to learn the art of patience these days. I don’t get the modern mindset of “I want everything, I want it now, and I don’t want to work for it.”

Earned and saved. Pride and accomplishment.

“People need to learn the art of patience.”

It’s like a character from a Radiohead song.

Eh… race doesn’t work that way, Lucasfilm:

Humans are indeed no genetically and mentally different to each other to consider others a “different species”.

star wars makes a compelling argument for being species-ist and/or against accessibility

imagine if every building, vehicle and product had to be hutt-accessible, when everyone hates and mistrusts them anyway, with good reason due to their culture

hutts are like r.a. salvatore dark elves where there's like one virtuous member of the race to say "see, they're not ALL bad"

even han solo is racist

"that's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose...wookies are known to do that"

and chewie leans back like "why yes we ARE culturally known to use disproportionate and unlawful amounts of violence at the drop of a hat"

real nice message there disney  :doge

Droids are definitely portrayed as a sentient slave class. And it wasn't only the British space Nazis, Han hated droids too as a personality quirk

And that as soon as we can hate different species we'll all forget about the concept of human races. Star Wars is essentially post-racial with no one ever acknowledging that a character is white, black, asian or latino. All thanks to those slimy Huts

$5000 USD for 2 nights? What a waste. We're staying in Dubai at the Burj Al Arab for our honeymoon shortly here for less per night cost than that. That's one of the few 7-star hotels in the world. Probably the best hotel in the world.

What's it get the 7 stars for? Not having functional plumbing?

"Officially there is no classification for 7-star hotels and the term 7-Star Hotel has often been rather described as a marketing stunt than a hotel classification or rating, as it is not appointed by a specific institution according to openly agreed on criteria."

That's because they're constantly misusing the term.

Asking legitimate questions isn't JAQ.

  Star Trek have made more and more shows with diversity in casting and storylines.

Didn’t Star Trek already was doing that since… the fucking beginning of the series?

They just didn’t have a posts shows specials where Wesley hyped how everything changed when Kirk kissed Uhura.

My impression is that’s why a lot of people hate the NuTrek fandom.
