What should I do if my parents are installing a security camera in my bedroom?
Here are a few ideas -Sneakily spray clear coat on the lens, if you’re bad at spray painting like me, it will make the lens hazy, but still seem ok from outside. if you got enough time before the installation, you can sand the lens with 80 grit and then clear coat it.Do the math (or Physics?) and use permanent / electromagnets to produce an electromagnetic field in your room that renders all electronic devices within the field unusable.If the field of view of the camera isn’t your entire room, you can stash all your playboys in a blinded corner.use optical illusion - a set of mirrors to generate a kaleidoscopic effect and totally confuse the person watching the video footage.Get access to where the video footage is being temporarily stored (if its CCTV it would probably be linked to a memory device on a nearby computer) and hack into that device. Modulate the clock and timings on the footage to show it 3 days later than live!. this will give you enough time to edit the footage before it goes live.Ask a friend to steal your camera (or steal it yourself) and damage a window or something to fake a burglary. Tell your parents that they pointed a gun at yaIf the above “very practical” pro tips don’t work, let them install the camera and when its midnight, start acting like you have been possessed by a spirit etc. After a few days your parents will take you to the exorcist's, bribe the exorcist and tell them to tell your parents that its the camera that is bothering an evil spirit and it will keep possessing your child unless you get rid of that device.Even if that doesn’t work, tell your parents that you’re now scared of sleeping alone in your room and would like to sleep in their room instead. They will agree at first as they are loving parents, but later when they wouldn’t get any chance for romance or making out in their own room they will kick you out of the house…problem solved!Lemme know how it goesPeace
How do meth addicts act? What are some signs you should look for if you think someone is on meth?
I’m an extreme case of a functional addict, but I am very rare and I have money. Money helps conceal habits…. Here’s a few less obvious signs;Qtips. Tweakers love q tips.Openly picking their nose, bonus points if they eat it.If they blow their nose, get tissue. Let it dry out and then the boogers will be obviously not wholly organicMeticulous personal grooming. Not all of them look like shit, some are obsessed with looking good. They floss and whiten their teeth and put face creams on and the whole nine yards. Perfect eyebrows, hair all of it. This is usually true with tweaker couples. One is obsessed with keeping the other one pretty.Dry skin around noseThey gambleThey go thru a lot of phonesTheir car has random dents or a rip in the seat or curbed rims or minor damage here or there. (Functional kind with money, for instance I have a Mercedes G wagon with a rip in the seat, a curbed rim and a small dent in the rear bumper.They shake.They don’t look you in the eye.They always have random stuff for sale.They generally don’t eat a lot.They don’t drink liquor anymoreThey misplace things a lotTheir phone is always close to deadThey get super focused on strange things sometimes and then forget to finish whatever it was they were doingThey like to colorThey like to play on their phone for HOURS on end.They have small baggies, or pieces of plastic that appears to have been burnt at some point.They’re late a lot or they take too long to leave when it’s time to go. No sense of urgency for the sake of keeping good time.They’re moody and when very upset want to be alone. They can disappear or keep to themselves for days
What is it like living in Cincinnati, OH? I am thinking of moving there after college. Read Below?
Bob B said it, it was the Black racists( only a handful at that) that claimed to have thousands involved in their boycott of this city. Cinci is a town made up of a lot of little towns. The only part of Cinci that is Cinci is right down town within a few square blocks. Crime is 98% Black on Black and as a young Black Man, well, just stay out of certain neighborhoods and sleazy niteclubs ( just remember, if your Momma wouldn't approve then neither should you), cause right now the #1 killer of young African American men is other African American men. This is a GREAT TOWN to live in and as far as jobs go we have quite a few corporate HQ's here with a great chance for advancement. Climate is moderate, it doesn't stay cold too long but it can be hot and humid for a few wks at a time cause we are in a valley, the Ohio Valley. People who are from Cinci are proud of the neighborhood they live in and every little town has their own festivals and events. The North central and North East to East are the best, safest sections of Cinci to live and party in
My fiancee lives in Ohio and is 16. I am 25. How can she leave her home and live with me?
She has a 7 month old baby that is not mine but carries my last name. I have been there for him since she was 3 months pregnant. I even cut the imbellicle cord. My fiancee's mom, who does drugs, has never been there for her her entire life but ever since she had the baby has been a control freak over every aspect of her life and has driven her to the point of madness and thoughts of suicide. She wants the child to live with me until she is able to leave that house and her moms control. The baby's bio-dad recently took her to court for visitation rights. My fiancee's mom refused us the right to an attorney to represent her in the court hearings. She went with her to the hearings and wouldnt let my fiancee to speak and gave the bio-dad everything he asked for. The bio-dad is a drug addict among many things and was even convicted of assaulting me. IS THERE ANY WAY AT ALL SHE CAN LIVE WITH ME OR IS THERE ANY WAY THE CHILD CAN LIVE WITH ME WITHOUT THE CHILDREN SERVICES DEEMING HER UNFIT?
What American cities are so liberal they're annoying?
I'm a centrist, but I can't stand living anywhere liberal. It's not what you think, the people are really annoying, arrogant, unfriendly and offended by everything. I lived in Ann Arbor, which I thought would be nice, but it was bad. I imagine Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco and Berkeley are horrible, where else is annoying? I think Boulder has to be added too, you know, Ward Churchill and all?

My Cousin Is Moving In With Us And I'm Unhappy About It, What Should I Do?
Well, it sounds like you do care for your cousin, it's just you're uncomfortable with him being in your house without even being invited. If you can stand him being in your house than it would be very kind of you to let him stay, but if you're uncomfortable with him staying with you than you're under no circumstances obliged to house him. There has to be another option, you can't let him stay in your home if it's not good for you, but you definitely aren't throwing him out on the streets. Could he stay with any other nearby relatives or clean friends; could you all get him a hotel room or somewhere to stay until he's back on his feet? Obviously you care for your cousin, but that doesn't mean that you should let him and the rest of your family walk all over you, it's your house and your rules, they're taking advantage of you and that's wrong, so don't feel to bad about asserting yourself and saying that you just aren't okay with him staying at your place. I know that's got to be hard for you, I'm very awkward socially and I'm always afraid of how people think of me and try to avoid confrontation, but someone staying in your house when you're not comfortable with it is not okay and something has to be done. Try to work out something to help you're cousin but don't give into anything that's going to hurt you.
Do parents still have control over you when you turn 18 if you live with them?
No. Depending on where you live, once you pass a certain age, you are technically an adult. It’s 18 in most places.That having been said. If you’re still living in a house owned by another person, they can have a say over certain things. You can’t tear out the lawn, for example, and replace it with a rock garden without the owner’s permission.But that’s not what you mean by your parents having control. If you are living rent free, it’s kind of hard for you to argue against their continued interference in your life (who you should speak to, what you should do with your free time, etc). After all, it is their house, you’re their child, and they’re still paying for the roof over your head.Legally, certainly, you might have a case. My suggestion, if you can’t afford a place of your own, then offer to pay them rent, and demand an actual lease agreement. You will pay “x” per month, and they will act as landlords. Since, in all likelihood you will have to use the same kitchen and laundry facilities, include usage of these facilities as well. Basically, what you want to show your parents is that the only reason you’re still living with them is that you can’t afford your own place (incidentally, in today’s economy, that’s not a bad thing). Show them that you are willing to take an adult role in the household (dishes, laundry, maintenance, etc), and in exchange, you want them to treat you as an adult.All of that having been said - there’s nothing wrong with listening to what your parents have to say, and regardless of a lease, if you’re in the same room with them (or if they have your phone number), they’re going to tell you what they think (trust me, I’m 43, live a continent away and my mom still tells me what she thinks). And that’s fine. After all, your parents have been your age before, and they are likely to have decent advice for problems you might be facing. Just remember, you are and adult now, and you don’t have to listen to them if you don’t want to.As an addendum, my mom is still right, most of the time, even now.
