Poor dog. Only 14 months old? Sometimes I lose faith in humanity.

I'm afraid to ask if that's a good or a bad thing.

We are having AIs having mental breakdowns before GTA 6

Fan translations are usually good. There was only one fan translation I've seen that was bad, though, and that's because the dub would often include random comments in brackets, sometimes a whole paragraph long explaining why they translated a word that way. It made the sub distracting and hard to follow because of it.

Yet, they refused to wear masks during COVID because they assured everyone that it is impossible to breathe while wearing one.

I hope lemmy.world does not implement age verification under pressure from the UK. Lots of users are using VPN's to circumvent that on some instances already.

Transracial in this context is people identifying as different races, like Rachel Dolezal

We've phoned up the council, council sent him a letter but he's continuing (with the siren and the loud radio/TV). The siren played again at 1:36 AM last night now the radio/TV is blasting. We're about to send him a letter saying if he keeps this up for the next few days we're going to get a solicitor

The siren has been absent since last Friday night we called the cops. He wasn't playing the siren every night before (referring to this episode of him starting up again 2 weeks ago) so we're not sure if it partially worked or not, either way we're recording everything so it's all documented, and from the answers I got in this thread, we'll be calling the cops every time he does this and getting in touch with the council too. We'll try and catch his niece when she comes over next too

Thanks for the detailed advice! I appreciate it a ton. We'll keep calling them every time he does this. I've got the radio/TV blasting and the siren/screaming recorded. He is a frail old man, he's almost in an L shape. He did once go out into his garden shouting for my brother (my mum heard it and said it was mostly incomprehensible) with a frying pan in his hand. That was over a year ago. When he yells and screams after playing the siren we can't make out what he's saying. We already have a doorbell camera so if he comes to the door we'll receive a notification about it and it'll be recorded.

My mum has all his texts he sent her accusing my brother saved. These texts go years back so it's all documented. When his niece comes over again we'll see if we can talk to her. She did hide his siren before but she says he'll probably end up ordering a new one from Amazon which is what seems to have happened here.

In the UK it is called sectioning. I'm not sure what the specific criteria are besides causing harm to others or ones self, I'll have to research it more in the meantime. Once again I really appreciate the advice, we've all been so stressed out lately and something has to be done because we're not putting up with this every day for months or even years

UK equivalent is known as sectioning

Even if he does have delusions of persecution, he only has them against my brother specifically. he knows my mum also lives here and is terminally ill, and still feels like it's okay to subject the entire family to this

Good idea, will ask mum later if she feels like going away with me and my brother for a bit!

Thank you. Will do. I was worried the police won't do anything because it's not blasting at night. I'll give them a call! Mum's doing the best she can and I'm doing my best to take care of her
