But it’s critically necessary for functionality.
Got a question? Google it an boom there’s an AI summary for you. Now you’re engaged in scrolling past the dubious response and the sponsored links before you can get to the results you want.
It’s called ‘enhancing the user experience’. It was tedious to ignore the paid ads where you were likely to be misled for profit, but now it’s enhanced tedium where you’re likely to be misled for no fucking reason.
People don’t live in shared dwelling residences because they thought they’d really enjoy sharing walls…
Exactly this. A detailed log and evidence is important.
Also, talk to your other neighbours and see if they have, or would report it.
As it is, resident B has 2 noise complaints in 8 months from resident A. Without evidence of all the rest of it, this fits all sorts of scenarios. People make malicious complaints all the time and the authorities (rightfully) shouldn’t just take your word for it that there’s a long history.

“The lord has given unto you these 15 —”

“… 10 commandments!”
You must know the sting of the blade to prepare thyself for the sting of the bee.
Oh fuck, that makes so much more sense!
I was like “What? What do they do with their noise tongue? What are they and what are they doing with them? I need answers!”
They’re only political because one side insists somehow they are.
Left-handed rights aren’t political.
Free speech in no way makes a conversation intelligent or sane.
Free speech is necessary to prevent the government from censoring dissent.
The consequence is that there’s little to no legal repercussions to spreading lies and hate. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be repercussions.
Ah, to be 6 years old again.
But then they have to fill those prisons with more and more people. How can America just increase the crime rate on a whim?

Oh right, shit.
The cynical perspective is that it’s an attempt to consolidate wealth for the wealthy.
Basically, you drive the price up on everything and force the least able to bear the loss in revenue to give up and sell.
Elon Musk can afford to lose $11 billion, because he still has $200 billion left over and that is obviously more than anyone needs to keep afloat for a few bad years. The same goes for every billionaire and every multibillion dollar company.
When you import something from another country, it needs to go through things like customs, etc. You have to fill out all the paperwork about what it is and where it’s going (if you’re using/selling it in the US or just middlemanning it somewhere else).
Part of that paperwork includes tariffs, a tax on the good you are importing. So, the importer has to pay the government that money in order for the product to legally come in to the country. The importer pays that cost, so the local purchaser pays that cost, so the consumer pays that cost. And each one of those (and likely many other) steps probably will add on a little extra for the trouble.
The hope is that encourages local production; even if it costs more to produce locally, when you factor in the cost of the tariffs to import, it might make sense to invest the cost to avoid the tariffs.
The troubles are:
Let’s not forget that the Republicans are an army of sycophants with zero capacity to think or act for themselves. Trump is a narcissistic pawn and absolute loser, but even at the highest level of power he’s only a problem because the Republican Party are either spineless cowards or deranged cultists.

Really? I tend to see this most often when someone says dumb shit they know is indefensible so they can justify not replying
Alls I know is you can’t fuck with the Transportation Budget.
YOU’LL REGRET THIS!!!
I mean, as humans, toxicity isn’t a deterrent, it’s a selling feature!
But he’s draining the swamp! And the bogs, fens, wetlands, critical aquifers…
Humidifiers.
It’s just a pool of water with a little nebulizer and a fan to blow the mist out a chimney.
Trouble is, they’re all made by the fucking plague demon Nurgle with the sole purpose of aerosolizing mold and bacteria by having the tiniest nooks and crannies than cannot be reached to be physically cleaned.
And before I get the “you gotta clean it with vinegar every week” comment, two points:
Single digits for sure. I’ll be okay from -9 to +9, but I don’t really see a solution to a 999°F heatwave
