I have three whistles now. The first one is still the best.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

i am hoping neighbors across the street will get bombed cos they put loud music on every friday and i have to choose between loud stupid songs or lack of oxygen, both options will lead to headache tho. Lowkey want to ddos their jbl speaker.

Have you though about asking them to turn it down?

[–] noctivius@lemm.ee 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

they won't do it, also figuring out their apartment is complicated, its two tall buildings with around 10 floors and all other apartments affected by sound too. Maximum they will do if i ask is say that its my personal issue cos im only one who complains. They are some old conservative people who put some old questionable pop songs loud, drink alcohol and yell from their balcony and its quite normal around place where i live

That's not ok

I personally would repeatedly complain to the management that they are being loud. Keep being persistent and if it continues file a complaint with the police and get them to take action on your behalf. If it is that loud chances are the police can make it end pretty quickly.

Moved to a smaller apartment this month (couldn't afford the rent anymore). The irony is that I've spent a lot in the moving plus house fixing, painting, etc. At least some of the cost will be recovered with the old apt's payback.

Anyway my new office room is going great, I'll use it as my "man cave" gaming room, with magenta paint and everything.

Speaking of gaming, I broke my beginning-stage speedrun record on Subnautica: I can get all the basic tools and the Sea Moth in 23 minutes! 🥳

Congratulations on your new whistle!

I'm beginning to find i have too much... I keep all gifts given to me, whether I use them or not. There are loads of socks, souvenirs from family members' vacations (not mine), soda stream, power tools, cooking utensils, water filtration devices...

I think I need to condense. I've already stopped trying to use the extra stuff and have packaged it up, but a lot is old stuff that should be thrown away or recycled.
