Sounds like everything you try doing to de-escalate things backfires. Consider reversing course and escalate hard. Play pornographic videos loudly (if you know their sexuality, play videos that are not), throw shit around, move furniture as a daily workout, let out orgasmic screams at random, re-enact choice scenes from Stomp! and drown out their retaliatory noises until you are unable to hear them anymore.

If the landlord tries to say anything, play it innocent, do not let on that this is vengeance, say it’s just a misunderstanding or that you didn’t realize how loud it was. They wanna say it’s all you, make it all you and then some. Fight fire with fire. Make them fear you. Make the landlord break the lease if you have one.

The other options is to grey rock them but that’s a lot less fun. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/grey-rock#uses

I’m not a professional anything. This is probably horrible advice. Talking to a lawyer might be the better option. Moving might be the best option.

I’ve walked 175 miles in the past 4 weeks and pick up trash while doing it :)

yeah, true. mental illness accounts for more most likely.

having outside eyes on me is an interesting thought. i have a caring support network that i talk to regularly, family members and a psychologist, to help keep me rooted on earth most of the time, if that’s what you meant by the question. the question could also be interpreted as being monitored or surveilled, like by police or the like, which insofar as i know, no more than the average citizen, no less.

my hyperbole can be too hyperbole. the term adynaton comes to mind. idk if it’s from bipolar or adhd, like mania or hyperfocusing, or maybe artificial colors and lead paint or simply part of my personality or genetics. sometimes the imagination runs free, albeit disjointed at times.

The plan is to keep the people dumb, in debt, in jail, in fear and/or under their control. there’s the idea of accelerationism, where to force change, instead of doing things like lowering national debt or slowing climate change, to do whatever it takes to increase them or speed them up, make them worse and let the survivors figure it out. With the jails packed and turned into debtors prisons, utilizing the prison population as cheap labor and a legal form of slavery, they think they can create an industrial revolution. there’s also a scientific revolution they hope to bring about, detailed here later.

When I say ‘they’ i’m referring to the US’s current administration of MAGt’s and muskrats, who also are in a triumvirate of power with vanilla pudding (the ruler of ru) and xj (if you gotta ask, you can’t afford it AKA the ruler of ch). they are the scamchurian candidates, the fronts of the real controllers, the ~2700 billionaires that are known about and a few other hundred that are probably hiding away somewhere. the goal is to end with control over the remaining 99.999999999% of the population by using about 2% to subjugate the rest and force change which will kill off 75% of the people (leaving a PROJECTed 25 percent left), which might slow global warming and the destruction of life on earth just long enough for the remaining scientist slaves to create a base on mars or underwater or in another dimension or whatever, where the 0.0000000001% will live, supplied by the space elevator or portal tech or whatever gets invented to allow them to continue their lavish lives at the cost of billions of others.

so what does this tinfoil hat rant have to do with student loan debt beyond keeping people dumb?

i have a theory using a metaphor based on Newton’s laws. they believe they are the unbalanced force in the first law, creating a change, disrupting the object in motion which is humanity and its future. they want to be, or believe they are, the result of the first law as shown by the application of the second law: the combination of mass and acceleration. they are the mass. they believe they are accelerating things. while the third law, every action has an opposite but equal reaction, is their methodology. by strengthening their hold over a large amount of educated people through debt and eliminating the department of education, it will suppress scientific progress and contain it, hoping to force a powerful reaction as the pressure builds and eventually boils out or explodes, resulting in some major scientific breakthrough that will save the day which they will take credit for. except it wont happen and instead there will be decades of unnecessary suffering as their plans fail miserably and all the bad things in the world continue to grow unchecked.

treat all that the talking heads say, as not just lies but the exact opposite of the truth and the plan is revealed. when they make accusations, that’s what they are planning to do. when they claim something they are doing will help people or industry or whatever, it will hurt it severely. destroy the dollar and other major currencies to force a switch to a cryptocurrency they control. censor information and remove freedom of speech. murder, arrest or deport anyone who dissents too loudly. epsteins island was nothing, instead of a pedophile island they will create a pedophile nation.

yeah, i know, this is all more than just a bit of a crazed rant. i can’t say i believe all this 100%. i don’t think it is all too far from the truth either. i wish i had the means to do something to stop it beyond ranting like a madman online. at least my student loans were forgiven. total and permanent disability did that. hooray. i’m debt free. now i can enjoy all that life has to offer… i had way too much coffee today.

my tech news sites are slashdot, hacker news, phoronix, techdirt (although they are mostly a political site now but their source linking is phenomenal), fedscoop (entirely US based, also more political than tech now and possibly a psyop) and reddit with an account that has a very selective set of followed subreddits to try and avoid the slow and continual decay of dead reddit.

In addition, it would be useful to have a dead mans switch function as well. For example, it uploads the livestream to a private server and a timer starts for a predetermined amount of time. The uploader has to enter a passkey or do a mfa or some similar security mechanism to stop the timer before it runs out. If it does run out or too many incorrect attempts are made, the uploaded video gets forwarded to a list of contacts, created by the video taker. Perhaps to a bunch of press contacts, civil rights groups, family members, next of kin or maybe a lawyer in the event of an incarceration.

Here in America, they might also shoot the camera, you know, in self defense.

I aim for B. I can’t seem to avoid it though so i stick to a set of sites mostly. i have a folder of bookmarked pages that i check every day or three by using ‘open all in new tabs’, labelled ‘news and junk’. it contains slashdot, hackernews, phoronix, techdirt, lemmy and reddit. my reddit is subscribed only to a very small set of local subs, because reddit is trash but i can’t get my entire hometown to move to lemmy. also in that folder are a group of local websites, for the library, parks department, a couple local event lists, a local computer group, a local linux users group, a furry events calendar and local amateur radio stuff.

one things i really wish existed is an extension that detects and blocks any site leading to garbage about the current US president, who i despise and want to ignore, despite ignoring it being to my detriment most likely. that vile man needs to go away.

additionally, i have a collection of hundreds of map sites bookmarked, with a folder containing a set i check with about the same regularity as my news sites. ventusky.com for weather, adsb.fi for tracking aircraft (i live by a major air force base in the US, directly under the main landing flight path, so i hear and see large planes flying under 1000 feet a lot), the noaa space weather dashboard page for space weather enthusiasts to see if aurora might be visible and for amateur radio solar radiation interference likelihood, timeanddate.com to check for astronomical events like eclipses, communitycrimemap.com to see reported crime going on near me, https://redskyready.com/auxcomm-usa-dashboard/ for a variety of maps to see if anything stands out like fires or earthquakes and also to check amateur radio stuff, and finally https://rsoe-edis.org/eventMap to see worldwide disasters that might be important to know about.

my system doesn’t keep me perfectly up to date but it covers what i think i need to know and comes from sources i trust well enough (although not entirely, like with communitycrimemap which is lexisnexus and the news sites are mostly aggregators with dubious links at times)

This was my first thought, played endlessly in the vacinity of the idiots banning music.

If you are technically inclined, there’s QGIS. It’s a steep learning curve but it is capable of doing ANYTHING as far as maps are concerned. Okay, maybe not anything, I admit it’s above my skill level to use effectively. You can import data sets with it, effectively it’s more of a map aggregation and editing tool. It’s far more capable than OSM and you can work offline once the data sets are imported.

There’s also Marble, not the same thing as the other suggestion I see commented. It’s got a version for QT and GTK and some appimages out there. It’s not as polished. In fact, it’s kind of like MS Encarta Atlas, just not really modern. It has a bit of the ‘old internet’ feel to it, if that makes sense.

Yes.

What I have difficulty with, is when some wayward knotted cluster I’ve inadvertently consumed, tries to jump ship the next day in the restroom, while having managed to braid itself on one end into my derrière hair, while the other side of it is still chilling somewhere up in my small intestine.
