reddit is a very mixed bag, but god damn is it a good place to watch antivaxxers get dunked on for false equivalencies but people much smarter than them
I cleaned my apartment thoroughly and while it's still kinda cluttered (by virtue of being fuckin tiny) it feels much better.
I wish I wasn't so busy and had more motivation to do microcleans to keep it neat rather than wallowing until I'm like, "this is bad and gross and I am bad and gross" and have to exert more effort.
But also it's tiny so actually cleaning is still not the worst thing ever. Imagine cleaning a whole ass house?
My neighbors have been fighting for like a solid week. Every day. All hours.
I've been getting panic attacks from it. Feeling like I'm having a heart attack style panic attacks. Finally took a benzo around 7 tonight to try to calm down but they just kept it up.
Finally I had to call someone, they were hurling abusive language at the top of their lungs which I can hear like they were in the room with me while the little girl screamed and cried.
They cops come out. Seemingly ask like two questions. Turn around and leave. Now I feel even more scared. What if the neighbors retaliate? Fuck with us specifically? Fuck with my car?
But what else am I supposed to do? Chris and I have PTSD I guess because it pushes a button on me that makes me jump into fight for my life afraid mode and my blood pressure shoots way up. And like that poor little girl had to listen to the adults in her life fight like that too?
I guess we have to somehow save up to mine next August when the lease is up. But that's going to be really hard given how tight or budget is being entirely month to month. But we have to find a better environment to live in.

That sounds really rough, bud.
Do you have earplugs or noise cancelling headphones you can wear?
I guess I have severe depression and have to take medication. I don't see it helping though, the things that make me depressed aren't changing

I'm concerned because right now it's "the things I am subjected to make me sad and subdued" and a more functional thought process might change that to "the things I am subjected to make me angry"
That sounds really rough, bud.

It is. Really rough.
Yeah I've got both but I can only stand to wear them for so long every day and night because that's how often they do this, sometimes I can hear them over it anyway. I just want to be able to live in peace in my own home.
I don't think they will actually do anything to try to hurt me. Also Though I'm not exactly able to defend myself, with my health where it is right now espescially.
They did actually shut up last night after the cop stopped out too which was nice for once.
I'm very sensitive to the yelling and shit all the time is the big thing, I grew up listening to my step dad beat my step siblings across the hallway and I have several experiences from my late teens and early 20s watching my best friend and his ex wife get into fights all the time that affected me more than I guess I realized.
That and the language they use is extremely not cool, lots gendered insults at each other but also homophobic shit.
I kinda wish we had just found a way to stay in the old trailer, even though it would have cost multiple thousands of dollars to fix.
I've talked to the management about it a dozen times since I've lived here, they pass the buck to the cops saying they can't do anything without police complaints.
And I would record it but my lease specifically forbids recording any of my neighbors I believe.

I cannot imagine what living like that would do to me. I'm so very sorry that you have to deal with this. It isn't fair and it sounds be easier for to live happily and feel safe in your own home.
You've spoken to the land lord and the police, which is the right thing to do. It doesn't sound like they can (or will) do much for you.
I think the focus needs to be how to get you to a safer home so you can live your life.
Do you have people you can stay with while looking for a new apartment? Is moving an option?
EDIT: I saw your HA post about moving three years ago, how did that go?
It was kind of a desperate, near run thing at the time. The ac broke in the trailer in the summer and it got so hot in there and we couldn't afford to fix it it even gave me a kidney stone from dehydration.
Right now our budget is so tight we don't put away money between months we just don't have it. And our lease isn't up till August and breaking it early would be too expensive for us too.
Similarly priced apartments run around 650 a month in the area. And I'm not in good enough health to move most of my furniture and stuff myself so we'd have to hire movers. So we'd have to save up 1300 to 1500 dollars at least plus whatever a moving company charges. And that's just not feasible because between the they of us after groceries and stuff we maybe have 200 to 400 dollars a month to spend on gasoline, entertainment, eating out, and intermittent expenses like getting my oil changed this Monday or my license renewed next October.
Today was our last dog class of 2021 (the City still isn't allowing us to return to train indoors and so we're hoping a few of our preferred facilities let us go back in January, and it's too cold to train outside as we enter winter)
We have a fun recall drill we do at the end of basic obedience where we have two rows of dogs face each other in a "tunnel" and the working dog has to do a recall down the middle to their owner; one of us will hold the leash of dogs who aren't steady, or otherwise step on a long line in case they break out of their position
...nearly all the dogs jumped at me or at least nosed me with excitement as I held the line, because apparently I've got an Energy the dogs love (probably because they can tell I am trying to hide being secretly thrilled to be near every dog)

my friend's dad had COVID a while ago, and is in the hospital because he's been falling and losing consciousness and shit, possibly related.
I love the dude like a favorite uncle, but his belligerent misuse of his body is catching up with him, he's already had a least one heart attack.
I hope he is okay or at least that they're givin' him the good meds.
I'm not looking forward to a funeral, but I guess nobody ever is.
he had to stop smoking and drinking (he used to drink so much beer that he washed all the salt out of his body. so he switched to liquor, before the heart attack made him stop entirely.)
but when the day comes, I'm gonna bring him a pack of cigarettes, an airplane bottle of booze, and a little bit of weed. y'know, for the afterlife.
I especially love (hate) how many of these chodes just love equating this shit to the civil rights movement or Nazi Germany, when you just know that a not-insignificant number of them believe that integration was a mistake and the Holocaust never happened
Just absolutely no grasp on reality whatsoever

These guys are not even remotely unusual. My wife sees at least a couple of people like this every day. No matter how many times she kicks them out after their repeated refusal to listen, they always come back. And swear that she’s going to lose their business. Every. Single. Time.
Everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty
These exact same dumb shits would be equally up in arms/banging a book of federal statutes about a business' rights to refuse service if some gay people tried to customizea cake, though
So sick of the shitty right wing, childish, hypocritical morons in this country

There's a cold or flu ripping through my office. I was laid low for a few days, now my wife and son have it. Miserable.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
We both have the day off today. It’s not been great.

When you are depressed you can be physically unable to be happy/motivated/have spoons. SSRIs can help with that.
It’s not a magic pill, but if you find what works for you it can be a night and day difference. It has been for me.

A pair of idiots over in Eugene, Oregon didn't like the idea of a local shop-owner shooing people that refused to put on masks out with the backing of a baseball bat and decided to confront the owner about it.

It was a cookie shop. They are booked up for weeks now with orders. We had some of their cookies last night in support. They were fucking great.

Of them trespassing and starting this whole thing.

They had too many orders and have shut off their online ordering service.
I hope it's back online in time for Secret Santa deliveries.
