Cruise ship. They’re basically very sad apartment buildings on water and with more pollution.

But when the lot starts to fill up (which “usually happens at 4AM or so,” according to Tung) what looks like a maddening ballet of autonomous parking — and honking — begins. The noise goes for as much as an hour at a time before it settles down, she said.

Did you read the article? Because that sounds really egregious.

It’s something you have to worry about in basically all apartments (in the US–despite thin walls and no insulation, I never had loud and inconsiderate neighbors when I lived in Japan). You might get lucky and get a place with good soundproofing, but the odds are slim.

Where the Red Fern Grows

Meeting someone online is and has been “normal circumstances” for some years now.

Sounds more like someone who is mentally disabled to me, but it’s hard to tell.

My friends’ cats use theirs. I think they started getting them to by luring them with treats.

Sometimes a little too smart.

A puppy, and no, even though she did die of cancer right after she turned two. She was my joy.

Good.

Maybe there are no stupid questions, but there are bad questions.

Your neighbor is legally correct, unless the roots are causing significant damage, in which case you can probably get them held liable for repair.

Don’t give him advice, for fuck’s sake. He’s the bad guy in this scenario.

I hope you realize that you are the bad guy in this scenario.

You have the right to trim limbs that hang over your property, as long as it doesn’t damage the health of the tree. That’s it. You can’t kill part of a tree, just like you can’t kill part of a person or part of a cow or whatever else.

Your neighbor is not crazy for wanting the tree to remain healthy. Trees are a good thing for both the environment and for mental health and are important for providing shade in a warming world. Their leaf litter is also important for insects and birds.

Getting so worked up about some leaves that you want to kill somebody else’s clearly beloved tree suggests that you are being unreasonable. Invest in a leaf blower or hire someone to deal with the leaves if it’s such a big deal to you. Or, better yet, leave them so they can help the local environment.

Someone’s never heard of tree law. If you do go this route, please update us when you get sued.

It’s often (but not always) available at supermarkets, but it’s not commonly eaten. Hopefully the tradition will die off with the older generations.

Eight might be young enough to forgive them, but I highly doubt eleven is.

There way too many tankies on Lemmy.

That’s a big part of it, but some people are just loud and some restaurants just play their music way too loud all the time.
