Kid next door screams from 7am - midnight every single day
What can I do?
I live in a flat. There is a kid in the opposite block, about 4 or 5 years old, that screams all day every day. He screams when he's bored, he screams when he's happy, he screams when he's upset, he screams for no reason. Absolute ear piercing shrieks. I work from home and trying to focus during a meeting is impossible. The mother doesn't seem to do anything about it unless he's absolutely losing his shit, and he doesn't really listen to her, just screams harder. He has a younger sister who has started copying him.
I know I live in London and in a flat and so I should expect noise, fine. But this isn't normal, it's like he's become a main character in my life just because he doesn't ever shut up. It's like Chinese water torture waiting for the next ear piercing screech.
Butterfly nets for catching stringfoots?
There's 3 stringfoot pigeons near me and they are all too skittish to get near enough to even attempt a grab. They will only come within a meter or two of me. I'm wondering if a bug net/butterfly net that I can swiftly swoop over the top of them from a distance is an option? One of them has their feet tied TOGETHER, a young thing. Does anyone have any experience with these kinds of situations?
Why try to survive? Why not just turn crossed?
Being crossed seems like it's amazing, they're always smiling and seems to experience suffering as pleasure. So why fight it?
So what was the announcement?
I missed it, did anyone watch it? I'm hoping for rolling live on console 🤞
Pieces of media clearly made for the creator to win an argument that exists in their head
Most Rocky Gervais created media, but let’s say After Life for example - A good chunk of Ricky’s dialogue he writes for himself is him getting into hyperspecific arguments with other characters he gets the moral high ground in every time even though more often than not he is the asshole when you look at the scenes objectively. His favorite topics to bitch about are included but not limited to the world going soft and religion.
Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas - And on the opposite end, a whole movie made by one man that boosts his argument that atheists are trying to rip Christianity out of Christmas. And I swear to you the entire movie is Kirk going up to characters one by one to either lecture them unchallenged on Christianity’s importance to Christmas or getting into debates about faith he wins every single time. The whole movie reads more like a high school lesson on the metaphors of Christmas than an actual movie with a story or characters.
