    You say this the same day my Q-head neighbor is having security cameras installed around the perimeter of his house

    I won't take credit for being the impetus for him doing it, but I too would be genuinely curious were large piles of dog shit hitting my house in the middle of the night

      Gross. The only thing security cameras are good for is racism and watching the fat opossum in you're yard if you're lucky enough to have one.

      the great thing about growing up outside of America is that without guns those kinds of people lack the cajones to leave their house to confront you

        Oooooh no. "Paranoid aggressive neighbor makes life hell for perfectly normal person" is a whole ass genre, whether they're accusing you of trespassing or being satanists or something even more bizarre. I have seen so many posts about people building large wooden structures to block the view of cameras aiming directly in to their yards, only for the neighbor to go berserk and start screaming until the cops came.

          "I blame Fortnite for this large wooden structure! Violent videogames are going to destroy this country!"

        I just hope that he takes into account that some people might be capable enough with a slingshot to damage or disable a camera from outside it's field of view

        After all, those things are pricy

          Hell, with global warming fucking up the seasons, a really bad freezing rain storm might block or even ruin the camera lens.

          and the one's that aren't theoretically might improve with practice. I hope no neighborhood kids decide it sounds like a fun target
