It’s your mama with cancer really being hurt here. Ethically, that gives you options. Sucks for your neighbor, he can’t help it.
Fastest solution is to wait for him to leave the house and post a lookout. Make entry and destroy every speaker you can find. Decorate broken items with something that is a feature of his behavior such as a common phrase or food item.
When he gets home and throws a fit, call the cops on him and deny everything and act frustrated and put out. Talk about your sick mother. This may fix it, it not, at least make it much better.

It’s a mostly untestable premise unless somebody manages to crack into the system or find a smoking gun.
So, it’s slightly less improbable than some sort of god.
It sure is a neat idea that feels right. So, yeah religion.
I tell my girl all the time that she can have as many ponies and unicorns as she wants when we all go live in the computer someday.

Absolute statement like that coming from an obvious place of smug ignorance is always entertaining.
I look forward to your debate with others in this thread.

I’m on my second marriage, 10 years in this one and 13 in the first.
My relationship is easy. We don’t argue, we have the same goals, she’s my best friend, sex is a science where we know the other’s responses and are creative. We face hard things together. I could go on. It’s easy to love her.
Nothing like my first marriage, it was hell.

I do have faith that some random dude in Pakistan will figure out how to unlock a sensor using a paperclip and a 555 timer and will post it to YouTube.
If the person in the video is wearing flip flops and smoking, tends to be good info.

I think OP is talking about Short Circuit. OP also may be having a stroke, be suffering from dementia, or have snorted Benadryl.

Probably pulp where the author churns out tons of stuff. Their name is more important than the title. You see it with historical fiction, romances, Westerns.
Don’t get me wrong, love me some pulp. It’s the comfort food of literature.

Daaaang! That totally makes sense. It’s always quality lab that does UV or small shops outsourcing dye pen and I’ve never done it.

Two governors in one movie. Not sure what that says, but it’s nothing good.

There is always, always one pair of these in the safety cabinet. Nobody knows how it got there, nobody ever uses them cause you work inside under artificial light and you need real sunglasses out in the yard or welding goggles. They’re probably 20 years old sitting in that cabinet.
I’m labeling the next pair I find, “Portable Mexico.”
Delivering bad news? Hand them Portable Mexico and a Corona.

This is why I don’t like the IA+ LGBTQIA+. Q was a good stopping point because queer is such a great way of saying “it’s complicated but not straight.”
Queer is a nice big tent we can all get under instead of performative labeling or over complication.

Picking up hitchhikers to Woodstock during the summer of '69 kind of narrows it down unless op was one of those maple syrup types.

Dark Seed was old school hard and explained nothing. Gave up multiple times, wasn’t playable for me. Sucked because I’m a huge fan of H.R. Giger.

Oh, that whole otherkin thing is absolutely a symptom of mental illness or maladjusment. I’m being blunt, and I expect you will find this insulting. I have no intent to insult or demean.
If you’re being genuine, you should seek help. I’ve seen it a fair amount, the same with DID self diagnosis. If you think those things are real, you are likely experiencing a personality disorder or struggling with some other mental illness.
While there are plenty of voices online that will tell you that you are this way and it’s okay, it isn’t. It can be socially isolating and impact your life in negative ways. Not trying to be disrespectful. Gender dysphoria and transgenderism/non-binary have scientific backing. Otherkin and DID seem to be an outgrowth of the kink and autistic communities, seems to be a very infectious thing. The otherkin thing came to my attention about 15 years ago and DID popped up maybe 6-7 years ago.
Seems to be a metastasis of otherness into a maladaptive identity pathology. Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in anyone who isn’t on the spectrum.
I generally excuse myself from an in-person conversation when someone mentions they are kin or DID. It seems to be a treatment resistant pathology and latches on similar to bad religion. It is self reinforcing and isolating.
Again, I’m saying this with respect and care as an active participant of the kink/queer/leather community. I’m all about some pups, D/s relationship dynamics, but I also try and stick to science. Labels serve us, we are not our labels. Please seek counseling if you haven’t already.

Wow. That’s pretty warped. It sounds joyless and isolating.
I enjoy my meat suit and find joy in the meat suits of others.
If this is actually your worldview and not just you concern trolling, I recommend you seek some counseling. I say this with respect and concern.

Boo. Gender differences are part of the human condition and can be funny. You just have to let it not slide into misogyny or misandry.
Hang out with some drag queens, if you don’t find their gendered humor funny, you need to have a think about your worldview.
Also, cis-het is naturally the majority of people. They are going to find humor in their shared gender differences.

Your cat appears to malfunctioning or maybe stoned. You may want to return it to the factory for service.
