  • Maybe some video doorbell or ext cameras? I know how living in a rural area makes it all feel a bit overkill, but might be worth it for situations like this. I buy off brand cameras where I can pop an SD card in it and it’s free. I installed systems for all family when 2020 got with COVID and the riots over George Floyd and whatnot. We’re in Illinois, rural outside Chicago but still affected. We have a lot of crime come out from Chicago too which sucks as people go around through vehicles all over. I’m also a big tech guy so this was simple enough.

    People are too trusting to leave cars unlocked, or too stupid saying locking their door adds a broken window to the lost of things to fix when broken into. However, I reiterate insurance claims and police reports don’t look good when stuff is unsecured.



  • I don’t have a Facebook, so I can’t look at his account, but the *69 (or *67?) features still work to make anonymous calls, and he probably googled your wife’s name which may have had a public post or mentioning a daughter’s name, or through friends. It doesn’t take long but going down those rabbit holes is ready, and finding info is easy.

    Plenty of free sites or apps let you dig up more on people by name, too. That’ll be a good start… However, since they’re already a problem and have a head start, I suggest you just let it go, keep the police report (did you mention the threat to kill?) and maybe follow up. Document all calls even though anonymous, and maybe check if your carrier can block all unknown calls incoming. Don’t get them more riled up than they already are, and hopefully you have sensible home protection (minimum a gun-that you’re familiar with how to use)



  • Honestly, as an American, I’d love for Canada to really team up with China and both start to ban use of American products and imports.

    Fuck this broken ass system that essentially makes it impossible to work together. Even if we could work together, there’s too much distance/separation to really unite enough. Combine that with all the ability to spread misinformation and don’t and people will just prefer to be sheep and go about their business.

    They know this because the elitists keep pushing the boundaries and learn how docile we truly are. Half the country has the ability to unite in force and the other thinks all guns are bad and think quiet protests would get us anywhere. We’re past the occasional protest.

    For the sake of not getting a ban, (like reddit would happily have done) This isn’t a call to action or violence. Just pointing out.



  • First off, lol, min wage isn’t a Republican problem alone. We’ve had 12 of the last 17 years (since 2008s last set of 7.25) be democratic led, so really, they don’t care just as much as Republicans…

    Bro, we’ve already “lost” the healthcare war. Nobody gives a shit, or it’d change. If the politicians weren’t bought by pharma, they’d likely change policies for the better. Get it? Right now laws make it possible to fuck us because they’re in big money’s pockets.

    Also, school shootings are a parenting problem. They’re not being locked up, which is how a lot of kids get them in the first place. Policymakers can easily do more to assist in reducing the root cause. But it takes time to tackle. Banning guns flat out isn’t the answer and never has been. Sorry.

    But nice try turning it to seem so negative. Like I just want the country to suck more?? Honestly, pretty much anyone else could make improvements/do a better job.


  • I’m going to go against both grains here:

    1. There are plenty of older Americans who are “Republican” and don’t care who the candidate is, that’s the party that they feel best aligns with their traditional beliefs and values. They don’t or won’t watch the media because they know most of it is bullshit (true for both sides). So, there are plenty that stay ignorant/naive in a sense.

    On the flip side of that coin, I guess I shouldn’t have immediately jumped into this being political, and should really strive to unite both sides bc we all know money buys politics! Aka rich vs everyone else, so it’s a vertical battle, not horizonal!

    I don’t care which “side” is which, we need a candidate who’s not bought and paid for!
