Shanghaied posted:Up until a few years ago, our university library had these really old looking signs saying they have phone jammers installed. There were no phone jammers as far as I could tell, at least not when I first saw the signs and tried to test with my own phone. I wonder if they installed them at some point and then turned them off when some law came into force or something. actual jammers have been illegal, at least in the US, for basically as long as cell phones have existed. it’s the same reason you can still dial 911 from a phone with no sim card and no cell plan. if you jam phones you are potentially blocking emergency services, and that’s illegal per the communications act of 1934.

Cell phones operate on licensed spectrum, meaning the FCC (or your country's equivalent) hands out permission to transmit to specific entities and everyone else is forbidden from doing it Other technologies, like wifi and bluetooth, operate on unlicensed bands that are essentially a free-for-all. Which is why the Flipper Zero is not inherently illegal and your neighbor's lovely microwave makes your LAN drop out (but both of those things are cheaper and simpler to deal with than cellular devices)

Yeah I know. But I don't live in the US, so I wondered if it was because we simply didn't have laws on it until relatively recently. But then again pirate radio was also a thing over here, so our government has been regulating spectrums since forever. Just found it weird that a government agency (which an university is, over here) would do something that blatantly violated the law, or at least pretended to.

The post about demanding someone come home right away because there's an emergency, but the emergencies only happen when the other person is off doing something important to them is totally a thing that happens. I had a friend dating an absolute pathological liar who would whip up the most insane and unbelievable stories to force him to never go out or have to urgently return home. It was always wild poo poo like "someone broke into the house and tied me up and was going to rape me but left the door open and a robber came in to rob the house and the rapist and the robber started fighting and then ran away, I'm traumatized and need you here RIGHT NOW. No I didn't call the police that would re-traumatize me!!" But sometimes it really is just bad timing and its the other person who's being totally unreasonable for accusations of conspiracy. I have 2 cousins, sisters. They are in their 40's and 50's. A couple years ago they made plans for the older sister to come visit after not seeing each other for years. Older sister last min got Covid so they had to cancel the trip. They planned another trip about 8 months later and everyone was excited. Right before the 2nd attempt, older sister got an extremely bad case of strep throat and had to cancel again. Just this month they were gearing up for their 3rd attempt at a trip and the older sister had to have emergency surgery for a serious condition. Younger sister lost her poo poo at this, accuses older sister of purposely sabotaging their plans and got so angry she made the older sister cry. They're no longer talking for the moment. Like yeah I get feeling extremely disappointed that it keeps happening, but 3 serious medical situations are not something she faking to get out of seeing you. It's just really lovely timing. Come on cousins be nice

Banjo man reminds me of story in high school, How I Met My Husband, where the teen protagonist, some nanny/help to the family, fell head over heels for a visiting pilot/air trick performer dude. He went all over the place with his stunts, and apparently his fiancé would track him down, which always led to his abrupt leaving and heading to the next city. But he promised the main character he would write letters to her and he would come back (this was after a rather messy makeout session where for once in literature the dude didn't do more than kiss her), so every day the girl would sit by the mailbox and wait for the letters that never came. And the mailman was a young dude who always felt his trip was much better when he'd see her waiting for him, to the point after they got married, he'd tease that he had to marry her because she always waited for him to show up. AITA For Asking my kids to see their mother before she died? quote:My (58M) wife (56F) died from cancer, and my kids (33M), (35M), and (31F) all told their mother they hated her before she died. For context, me and my wife were pretty strict with our kids when they were growing up, but it was out of love when they were teenagers. We had rules like no dating, being home by 6:15 PM, and no R-rated movies, and these same rules applied even when they were over 18. Just because they were 21, 22, or 23 doesn't mean they are adults; it doesn't matter what the law says. We have three kids: two sons and a daughter. (33M) we will call him "Damian," (35M) we will call him (Josh, and (31F) we will call her "Emily." When Damian was 21, he was dating a 27-year-old woman and apparently dating for 6 months.

Reads like it was written by one of the kids. Too willing to admit a bunch of wrongdoing to be a real estranged parent post. They usually talk around everything and you have to fill in the blanks for why their kid cut contact "suddenly" for "no reason."
