Married 30 years. Eyebrow position and, "eh?"

"Eh."

And we are pretty much on the same page.

Depression = twice in the last month. I have an appointment to adjust my medication.

If the parents took the computer out of the room, told OP that they could not put the computer back in the bedroom, and used parental controls to limit internet access, I would consider moving it back into the bedroom anyway and bypassing the limits as "open defiance".

What is a "used" bedroom? As for flies, buy a pack of fly strips for a couple bucks. That should handle your introductory list of "oppression".

All you are going to do is prove that your parents are right to not trust you. Consider why they don't want you to have it in your room? What happened that they won't allow it? Or maybe you need to prove you can be trusted with it first?

If this was one of my children acting in open defiance like this, the next step would be locking the PC in a closet for a month, and then trying again with it downstairs. To allow them to earn trust back.

This is not the way.

I play online games with a friend who has a 5g tower across the road.

His neighbor occasionally gets drunk and shoots it to "death".

US, obviously. South Carolina.

I saw a BBC article that says that tickling produces a panic response in the brain, and laughter is a sign of submission to the aggressor.

I hate everything about tickling.

Long, long ago I had a battle.net account with one of the physical authenticator tokens. A year or so ago, the battery died in it. I'm trying to recover my account but can't find a way to contact blizzard to remove the old authenticator without having it functional.

Does anyone have a link I can contact them at to remove a non-functional authenticator?

The amount of noise IS the signal

When troubleshooting equipment I sometimes use "evil spirits" or "sunspots" when nothing else makes sense.
