It seems like a lot of toxicity warnings are based on an industrial scale so I'm curious about the impact of using a couple printed boxes, versus the impact of the next laziest option: synthetic landscaping "fabric" or that thick black plastic material.

I used to live next to an interstate.

These white noise machines are GOLD:

There are several brands, so don't feel like you need this particular one.

Create any water features you can indoors and/or outside. These create background sound to drown it out.

Thick fabrics on the walls facing the sound can help if you can't afford to do new windows right now. I believe they also sell window inserts that deafen sound, as I was looking into them at one time.

To your particular issue, since it's a specific song (maybe?), a repeating catalog of songs, or at least specific frequencies/tones every time, and it's at specific times, I wonder if you could rig up some sort of noise cancelling device or sound to play at those exact times in your bedroom?

I love/hate that I get all these references lol

I had this exact thought! It's a simple comparison with a subtle nod to acceptance of the somewhat-more-likely-to-be-conservative blue collar crowd.

The progressives need better messaging on literally everything. I'm only into marketing as a side interest and some of the crap the Democrats put out is infuriatingly bad--especially considering it's up against the fascist/corporatist propaganda machine.

I'm not sure how you interpreted my comment to mean that "Mommy and Daddy" would need to pull her out. I only suggested they be there with love and not shame so she doesn't stop speaking to them.

She's an adult and I assume she's mentally capable. Just support her and when/if she ever regrets her decision, she'll have you around to lean on.

If you openly hate on her decision or shame her for it, you're only going to drive her away or make her even more firm in her choice.

I hate how far away the cat is and how alone it seems that far down :(

I know dead beings can't feel emotions but I can't help it.

I'm from "you guys" but I've lived in "y'all" and now I'm forever team "y'all," regardless of where I'm living.

It's the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.

PEOPLE FALLING FOR THIS SHIT AGAIN IS INSANE

Yes, this is exactly how I would define it.

I also don't think it imparts a general pro/anti integration with locals (not to say some assholes aren't out there).

If I was thinking of immigrating elsewhere, I'd want to be near a few other people from my country who've been there longer than me, if only to make the transition easier and to get help with any issues specific to people from the same place.
