I have. I have even gotten on my super loud PA system and sang horribly using the same words they are. Some times it shuts them up for a little bit. But, usually they'll just turn on their stereo outside to try to drowned me out. So, then I get out my power equipment and start grinding and cutting steel. After doing that for atleast an hour on and off they will go inside. Then they come back out about an hour or so later and do it again. I've yelled at them, told them their are Fing ******** neighbors, all kinds of ****. So, I will just have to keep stepping up my game. But, I think the only thing that will work is violence. It keeps getting closer and closer to that too.

Originally I thought they just weren't aware about how loud and super annoying they were. But, at this point, I know they are fully aware and do not care. So when violence happens I will not care. I will not stop my rage.

Oh the police, they suggest talking to them. Perfect, thanks guys! Go help out at another officer involved shooting. We need like 30 cops at the scene whenever they shoot someone for pointing a stick or something at them.

I'm sure it won't work correctly like most of them. But, hey! There's an app for that!!!

Currently, what is driving me just a tad crazy, is the feeling that for some reason I am being ignored by my one and only closest friend (of many years), and I have no idea if I am or why I am.

Yes I have a friend, who lost his wife, and he has no game with women. He jokes around with them but most women are superior to men in reading body-language. They can see right through his acts, which is what they are since he has no confidence around women, and he never did. He will take whatever he can get and was seduced in high school buy his ex-wife. He has no loyalty to people in his life, and none whatsoever towards family pets, such as the dog they owned, as soon as the older girl was born, the dog was gone. He has slapped her when she kept speaking all of the time, as little girls do, so he lost all custody of her after the divorce was over with They were married for 10 years until his wife had a girl-child and another while they were separated, and she moved in with a "friend" of his since he was in grade-school. He started drinking like mad and tried to find and possibly kill this man, as his wife became pregnant with a girl-child that looked nothing like his mother, father or sisters, and he believes she was not of his blood lines, so they divorced. And she moved to another city 1600 miles away across the rocky mountains, into the plains states, and moved in with her mother. He was then seduced by another woman he met at the office at work. She had no children and died last year. He calls perhaps every other month, but he will not be able to find another wife or girlfriend, nor even a friend like I was. I would rather not have him in my life, and I can and would be able to harm him greatly, if he ever thought he could fight me and win. He knows nothing about fighting at all. He will be spending lots and of time alone, once he retires next year, as well he should. He is quite self-centered and not mentally stable at all. He is no longer any kind of friend, and I know it. He dumped me as a friend for 15 years and only contacted me when his wife was sick and bedbound, with a fatal illness. Puts people at work down. when he calls as if he is superior to them. He will not fare well in life, that is almost a certainty.

It is very good to see your posts once again, Finished.

I have been involved in a probate matter with my younger brother and his wife, whom never liked me. She did not treat my parents well when they were living, and she has a trapdoor mouth that I would have shut, if she were a man. She packs a .38 special revolver and has a policeman brother, as well as three Rottweiler dogs for "protection", as if I am scared of these, but I am not. I do not harm women, so I have kept my own mouth shut for over 27 years, so that my nieces could have a good childhood & adulthood, unlike the childhood that my brother and I had to endure. We used to race dirt bikes in off-road races back in the 80's and 90's, and we both brought back lots of winning trophies. It hurts me greatly to have lost him as a brother, as I protected him from our alcoholic mother's rages, as the older sibling. He is my brother and I will always be there for him if he needs me, even after all the ways he allowed his wife to mistreat me for over a quarter of a century. He, like our own father, has not the spine to speak up to her, when he should have done so. I will win in our probate court battle, as I know much more then he does on a variety of subjects, including the law(s).

Thank you! It's nice to know I may possibly brighten someone else's day.

Blaaaaa. Probate battles. Not fun! I was lucky enough to have my dad and his parents to trust me enough to do pay on death (POD) on just about everything they owned so no disputes would arise. My mom didn't trust me and decided to just have the oldest sibling be incharge of her probate. She basically split up my mom's house and kept everything else instead of splitting it. I decided not to fight it because I told my mom that's exactly what would happen. So, in a way, it was my mom's decision.

How all technology seems to have done, is create a more expensive world. That hardly seems like a win for humanity, and it's why I'm mostly indifferent to technology. What has it done? Create expensive novelty items for rich people. And what have most of the rest of us gotten out of it? For the most part, nothing. Higher prices of everything. All we got was superficial stuff, like mobile devices, better computers, better video game graphics, etc., but actual quality of life, actual meaningful stuff like being able to buy a house and car and live like a normal person in the modern world, has gotten worse. It makes my head spin - I thought things were supposed to get BETTER in the future. Cool "future", bro

When I was a kid, I thought science and technology would make things better and better, and would make life easier and easier. I saw pictures in history books of how hard life used to be in past ages, and I thought I was supposed to be glad that science and technology and modern, softer, more humane attitudes and beliefs did away with all that, and that I lived in the modern world, and was more free than ever to like things just because I liked them, and not be restricted to ONLY doing things related to survival and competition. I thought the modern world gave us the freedom to actually - gasp - live our lives.

Even as a kid I was aware that I was lucky to be able to just play with fandom toys, because in the past era, you had to grow up fast. Life was all about survival, and it sucked. Even in third world countries or in the ghettos today, it's like that. But I was glad to be able to do things for no other reason than I enjoyed them. I didn't understand why anyone had a problem with this either.

So it pisses me off to no end, that we seem to have done a u-turn back to the bad old days. And tech has done zero to prevent it. So no, I'm not eager to work on tech, if all it's going to do is create this more expensive world where only rich people can have anything, and everyone else's quality of life goes backwards. That's ********, that's not what the future is supposed to be. And to hell with Musk's and Bezos' and their kind's vision of the future. It goes against my interests, indeed, most of humanity's interests, all just for their own vanity, so why would I care about that? I don't give a damn about their billionaire space race, or Twitter, or any of that crap.

(That's another thing that drives me crazy - fake futurists, who are really just the same old greedy self-interested *******s we had before - they're nothing new, and they're not going to make anything meaningfully better.)

Anyway yeah. I'd rather have 1990s tech, and 1990s prices, than this ****** *** modern world, that seems worse in just about every way. The 90s stuff wasn't bad, it was good enough, especially if this is the alternative. At least it didn't seem like the world was constantly coming apart at the seams. It actually seemed like things were going to get better back then. I was so naive.

I wish I'd never wasted a moment complaining about anything back then, because it was all superficial compared to what I'm dealing with today. I wish I'd known that those days, the 90s, even some of the 00's, were going to probably be the happiest days of my life.

Yeah, that's why I like watching old TV shows where you get to see the lack of electronic devices everywhere. TVs had 10 - 12 channels tops. People actually did stuff instead of staring at their devices all day. Those shows give me a warm fuzzy feeling. How can we go back there?

Well, maybe a few countries will detonate some high altitude nukes and fry all of the electronics in the major countries. Or a nuetron blast from outer space might do it. The odds are pretty good humans will end up back in the 60s at some point again. So, I guess we can day dream about that.
