"just because i want to defund the police doesn't mean that i can't call them"
- "I asked them to send a social worker"
- but ultimately i can and i have
  
  I already did.
did you hear what conservatives are saying about AOC?
sorry Elmo, I'm completely checked out
- I wonder what he's doing now that Vice shutdown
Noise complaints are valid. I'm tired of people here continuously defending people who are a genuine nuisance to people around them.
- You most definitely should NEVER call the police (especially in a working class neighborhood) over a noise complaint. Yes, it's anti-social behavior to play music way too loud. But you're potentially getting someone shot over your discomfort. If you don't feel safe talking to your neighbor face to face and asking them to turn down the music, you can try contacting the building management or other intermediaries, but definitely not the cops.
  
  Over discomfort? Fuck you. I nearly killed myself due to sleep deprivation from people creating near non stop noise 24h every day. Every time such people got approached they threatened violence. Normal people you can communicate with don't create situations like this to begin with.
  
  I'm definitely not saying you should call the cops instead, but contacting property management might also not be a good move as you might end up getting someone evicted for breach of lease if there are enough complaints.
  
  Got it... going to do some

- Noise complaints are fine when people are legitimately being disruptive, some people will make rather arbitrary ones over totally reasonable levels of noise, often white people freaking out when non-white people are doing an activity.
  I just thought the Liberal Elmo bit is funny and relevant.
- Including letting your dog bark after 7pm
- UK-ass take
In my day a noise complaint was when you yelled at someone for yelling too loud
- 9/10 if you ask nicely, people will turn it down
  The other 1/10, you gotta go Road House

FYI I'm not trying to start a struggle session or anything

- I'm glad it worked out for you but you have to understand there really are people that will, continually, blast music past midnight on all days of the week when they are your neighbor in an apartment building. That these people exist and are seemingly immune to all good faith attempts to come to an understanding with their neighbors is just an undeniable fact. Ultimately it just ends with you or them moving away but they continue to plague humanity wherever they exist in proximity to it.
  
  oh yeah that's why I said if you have problematic neighbors who are seemingly immune to reason that's another story. But I think the first step is reaching out and trying to come to an understanding.
