You shouldn't disturb other people whether they're asleep or awake. Buying a pair of slippers or flip flops for indoors and not slamming doors and cupboards isn't exactly a monumental ask at any time of day.

You must live below the people in the apartment next to me.

Why are people like this. Really. I want a serious, well thought out answer from people who act like this. I would be fucking appalled if I found out people had been losing sleep because of me. Or they weren't able to concentrate when working from home, or had to get a bluetooth converter for their tv to connect headphones because otherwise they can't even enjoy tv with all the stomping, banging, furniture moving, and door slamming. I would feel so fucking guilty and especially embarrassed for coming off as such an entitled piece of shit. I literally cannot comprehend that there are people who know they're disturbing others, in their own homes, day and night, and they either don't give a shit, or they get mad at the person they're torturing for asking them nicely to keep it down. Or both. And yes I have brought it up with my landlord countless times. They could give a fuck. The next step is to contact the city and have them come in with a decibel meter or something. In my state, landlords must ensure "peaceful enjoyment" for tenants. But I'd have to prove it's over a certain level, then deal with filing a complaint and/or civil court or whatever, so nothing ever changes.

This is one situation where I think an eye for an eye is perfectly reasonable, because after living through over a year of daily constant noise, I think my next door neighbors aren't deserving of a single moment of peace from now on.

If anything this narrative of "oh God just shut up" invalidates OUR feelings about being gaslit for trying to fucking help.

This entire comment is a whole new level of whiny misogynist cringe. This person is so incredibly worked up about a woman wanting to be supported and heard that if they weren't such an asshole, people might actually feel bad for them.

This just happened to me so I came here to see if it had happened to anyone else. Should have known it wasn't a problem on my end.

Sadly war sucks ass.

Don't try to justify the mass murder of innocent, injured and sick civilians, including children and infants. There's literally nothing that excuses dropping bombs on hospitals. And schools. And trucks full of refugees. And people's homes. And ambulances.

It is interesting how the same US political ideology that supports this mass murder of children are, generally, also the ones who consider zygotes to be children and criminalize pregnant women for having miscarriages. But I digress.

The point is, it's all a bullshit power play, don't let it distract you from your own humanity.

There's definitely no possibility that Israel does stuff like that and then blames it on its enemies to justify its actions. No way.

eliminate the reason why it exists.

Well I think everybody knows exactly how to do that then, and it's the exact opposite of what's happening right now.

It's almost like Israel and it's supporters are shocked that a resistance movement formed in response to them murdering civilians and destroying homes of innocent families. Maybe it's not the moral response, but no one can claim to be surprised by it.

To be clear, if some criminal has human hostages you're fine if the building they are in is torched?

"IDF says..."

Of course. What reason would they have to lie? /s

Maybe we should wait until there's been a more neutral investigation before deciding it's one hundred percent true.

What I never understand about major news stories is that so many people take everything they see at face value and then consider it indisputable fact. When there's an international war going on, no one thinks that just maybe we're only getting a fraction of reality communicated to us? That it must be the worst game of telephone in terms of accuracy? But then if someone even suggests that maybe there's more to the story, they're conspiracy theorists or they get told what "side" they're on.

We should all be at least somewhat discerning. There's so many different actors with interests in this war. We have no idea what else could be going on that we will never, ever hear about, nor how much spin is being put on the stuff we do hear about.

What it's like being a TA

Well if it happened in Austin then it must apply to everyone and everywhere else. Makes perfect sense.

If they don't care about their own children being killed, why should I?

Wow, you sound like such a wonderful person. Jesus fucking christ.
