Ok #asknostr time.

So I've been dealing with a particular situation for months. I have some pretty shitty neighbors, and they have six tiny, yappy dogs that bark all the time. I have tried talking to the neighbors face to face about this several times. Nothing has been done about the problem, and I've gotten to the point where I've resorted to tyranny and complained to the city, but of course, in proper government fashion, nothing has actually been done.

Is there any sort of thing that I can do that won't necessarily harm these animals but will still deter this behavior that I can do as a third party? I'm genuinely at a loss at what to do here and I'm in a pretty frustrated position. Now that I'm working from home more, I have to listen to these fucking dogs bark all day and all night.

There is no solution, anoying dogs will do what dogs does: bark all the time.

Best I can think of is try to genuinely improve your relation with your neigbours, maybe even the dogs, at least you won't feel like you live next to an enemy.

It may sound silly but voluntary accepting the stuff you cant change really makes a difference in how you feel about it.

It won't fix the dogs but probably will make it easier to accept the reality.

Brilliant, nostr:npub1purplenlftvy2g6naspv4jpsuajzkaxy4pp8rrzmejcx3duc5xnqme3mde.

Along these lines, nostr:npub1gnwpctdec0aa00hfy4lvadftu08ccs9677mr73h9ddv2zvw8fu9smmerrq, consider some defensive remedies such as sound absorbing barriers between you and the neighbors, and music or white/pink/etc. noise to mask the barking?

I suppose your ultimate remedy may be to relocate... Mars, anyone? 😜🫂😆

Unfortunately, I fear you are probably right, but I have a hard time accepting it as it definitely affects my ability to focus and work, thus impacting my business.

I guess I'm going to have to find some local coffee shops to do some work at.
