In hindsight, documenting everything in great detail would have been the best option. I snapped yesterday and told this person I’m tired of listen to their shit after doing my best to ignore the harassment for the last year. Documented the incident last night to the best of my abilities.

Basically the person harassing me is related to several neighbors, does not officially/legally live here, but is a frequent guest and has been living in the apartment just is not on the lease. And I haven’t documented the numerous incidents over the last year very throughly. Yesterday, I was called derogatory names for not being willing to go with them to look at something “no, you have to see this”. And finally broke down and told them to stop talking after listening to them calling someone else derogatory names, because I’m tired of listening to that language.

I regret saying anything, because I know this person is highly manipulative and possibly dangerous. I overheard them talking with my neighbor about how the police should be called on me (couldn’t make out the reason why that would be justified). Eventually, my neighbor asked this person to leave after repeatedly saying that I can hear them. I plan on making myself scarce, but I’m considering recording all conversations with neighbors until this is resolved in the event that this person’s behavior comes up and is excused for some reason. I’m trying to sort out my options if anyone has any real world knowledge or experienced with a situation like this.

TLDR: have been harassed by a person who is legally only the guest of my neighbors for the last year. I told this person off and now I’m regretting the decision, because I overheard them talking about calling the police on me. I’m really afraid of retaliation and looking for advice on how to protect myself going forward.

Edit to add: this obviously doesn’t cover the extent of the harassment, but it’s been a lot of unwanted sexual conversations, demanding to be spoken to, and general creepy behavior like trying to lure me somewhere last night. Also for clarity this person is a guest of more than one apartment, so I am out numbered.

Mentioned an idea I have for a community initiative that would create a certain outcome to a person who works in my community and has some kind of power (not authority, but a relationship with the authorities). I was under the impression that this person was open to coaching me on how to bring the proposal to the authorities. Person with power comes back to me with a different option that basically brings someone with a for-profit business they’re building in from the outside to teach the community how to create the outcome. I say I don’t support this (feels patronizing and like it’s extracting from the community), but if the rest of the community genuinely wants this then I would. Person with power sets up a meeting that I’m included in that makes it seems like the patronizing plan is a done deal, I protest again saying I won’t support this if the rest of the community isn’t on board, everyone in the meeting agrees to be apart of polling the community, person in power writes a follow up email that makes it seem like we’re all on board with the patronizing plan, I talk to folks in the community that also disagree with the patronizing plan, and write a response stating that I will no longer participate in this effort that spells out that this was all planned by the person in power (partially as a receipt) and BCC the main person with authority over approving projects like this (who I’ve met once and never emailed before). Someone who was a part of the original meeting tells me later on that that my response seemed both kind and angry, but they felt it was justified and had chosen not to participate either.

I directly send the head person in charge of project approvals a lengthy email expressing my concerns. I gather from the response email that person in power has already presented this alternate proposal, but that “no plans have been finalized”. I talk to a person in a lesser degree of authority about what’s happening and this person agrees to also talk to the top authority on my behalf. I respond with another lengthy email both discussing the philosophy of my idea and with more details about how this alternate idea is clearly the brainchild of this person in power who is theoretically not supposed to be making back room deals like this and my fears that this benefits the person in power in someway. Realize I didn’t finish one sentence in my second email and send a third shorter email with clarity on this. Person in authority has yet to respond to the second or third email. I pulled an all nighter to write a petition that I hope completely strips any power from the person in power’s alternate idea and asserts that the community gets to decide what happens and bring our own proposal. My neighbor and I have been trying to get as close to 100% community participation on this as we can.

Is writing multiple lengthy emails to the head authority (that I don’t have any real relationship with and that likely already has a relationship with this person in power) and BCCing them on a group email overreacting?

Edit: grammar

Anyone noticed a file in downloads called "getwifilmsiencryptioncertificate-1.bin"

Bought a new phone. This is the only file downloaded and it must have showed up right after I turned it on without the SIM card in or after turning it on with the SIM card.

Does anyone know what this means, what app might have downloaded this onto my phone, and if I can just delete it?

Thanks!

I stopped using Google Maps a while back, because obviously they’re one of the worst companies for compiling and selling our data. I still have a smart phone, but am exploring options for dumb phones and if I go this route I really need to find a reliable option for GPS navigation. So after some research on Reddit and other parts of the internet, I’m considering buying an old Garmin stand alone GPS for my car that I’ll either download OSM Maps or finding one with Lifetime Maps from Garmin that can be transferred to me.

Seems like this could be a viable alternative to smartphone turn by turn navigation? Has anyone else gone either of these routes or done something similar with a different device?

I’m switching to a dumb phone. Was hoping to switch to this once, because it’s rugged, future proofed (5G and eSIM capable), waterproof, the battery is fully removable/replaceable, battery life is pretty impressive (something like 5 days), and it can be used as a hotspot.

Anyway, I was under the impression that this was a different operating system than Android. Come to find out Sonim’s OS for this phone is Android 14. This is not ideal, but I’m hoping I can make it work or find a dumb phone with a truly non-android based OS.

Questions:

has anyone had success with side loading/installing degoogle apps on this phone (specifically OsmAnd Maps, Organic Maps, Tutamail, Proton Mail)?

Is there anyway to degoogle this phone further (ie is sideloading grapheneOS)?

My WiFi went out long enough for the next film Amacord (on right now) and I’m trying to figure out what the last film was 😭

Black and white with a gorgeous Indian woman. Not sure if it was a short film only caught a minute of it before my WiFi cut out for a few minutes.

This is probably weird. I'm trying to find this video I think it was a TikTok reposted on Reddit. Where two women (white middle aged and presumably from the UK) are singing, but the video is edited so you only hear the song and can't hear their voices. They are dressed almost exactly the same with a lot of white and I think they're wearing platform shoes. They are very tan with short bleach blonde hair that's cut straight across (short bob or maybe wigs idk). I think there's a TV on the right and a chair behind them.

One of them spins very mechanically at some point.

I think a lot of the comments were trying to figure out where in the world these people were from and then I saw a comment from someone in the UK saying essentially that even without the sound they can tell they're from a certain region and that this is a stereotype of this region.

I can't remember the song that's playing. Might have been Dreams by Fleetwood Mac.

I believe the video was from earlier in 2026 maybe 2025, but could've been from earlier than when I saw it. I believe all of this was happening on unironically, but also am not confident on that haha

Edit: was so stocked because I thought someone found already. Turned out to be a removed comment and the link was broken anyway 😔

Hey y’all I’ve been looking for a cringe but safe-for-work video that I saw a few months ago. Trying to find a place where it’s acceptable to post a description to see if anyone else remembers and can help me find it. I’m guessing it was a viral video, which isn’t allowed in r/helpmefind

Hey y’all I’m looking for a dumb phone without camera that will work on 5G. I found this Sonim XP3plus 5G Non-Camera Version and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it or if you have a recommendation for something similar.

I know I’m one of the unicorn dumbphone hunters 😔

I’m trying to maximize privacy and limit distractions as much as possible. I really just want a phone that can make calls and send texts.

How do I ask for accessibly/accommodation requests from Reddit Admin?

Update: I was able to resolve the issue I was having outside of Reddit.

I’m going to submit a suggestion to accessibility@reddit.com (there’s a comment with a link that has more info)

Got a warning for the first time and I’m trying to make sure I’m fully understand why. My comment was removed so I can’t reference it. Is there any way to find out exactly what I said to get a warning?

I’m working on deleting and poisoning all social media, but I really just want the old internet back. I don’t know how to fight for anything close to that or even how to fight for interactions with real humans online. Do y’all know of any campaigns on Reddit that helping to remove bots or if there’s another social media type spaces that are not letting them join or actually removing them if they do? I was really hoping to get rid of everything except Reddit, but the whole point of being here is to interact with other real people not engagement and marketing bots. I’m feeling fucking depressed about this and I don’t know what to do. If anyone has some idea for fighting back lmk

Edit: spelling

I’m not ok and I’m scared it’s not getting better. I’ve been struggling for years and I’m feeling progressively more emotionally vulnerable and weak. I’ve lost friends due to both growing apart and death. I feel like I’m in the process of losing more for the same.

When I meet new people I over share. I feel paranoid about what people think of me, that I’m mirroring others too much, or that I’m not picking up on social cues. I don’t fit in. Sometimes going out and trying to socialize is more painful than staying in. I’m scared I’m not going to make it. Maybe this is just depression, but I’m taking the meds and working on things and I feel like things should be getting better. I don’t know if they really are.

Today I tried to pretend like I’m not disabled, like I’m totally normal and someday very soon will be applying for a full time job like people who aren’t disabled do… but it’s a lie and I’m sure they could feel that. I will likely spend the next week recuperating from this most recent attempt to socialize. I will try to convince myself it wasn’t that bad and come back feeling similar like the last time.

Has anyone else felt more depressed trying to fight depression? Am I going to get through this?
