@techdisk Get your stuff back. She can't just steal from you.

@nerthos he has me blocked from his personal timeline, but we get along alright still most of the time.. xP Some ponies are a mystery to me.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:20:54 UTC from web-
@pony The guy just has an impressive ability to get offended at crap and take his rustling to a whole new level. We used to get along perfectly until I posted two dashes he didn't like and he was all "No I hate you you're so bad" and has been like that ever since. That was like, a year ago?

@pony Yeah, but being offended for a day or a week is completely understandable. Being offended for a year over two posts on a social network? Come on man you have to be very ill to do that.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:28:23 UTC from web-
@nerthos Watch Toks somehow decide to check the public timeline right at this second. Blame Murphy and his dang law.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:29:40 UTC from web-
@techdisk If I post something here, is for it to be public.

@techdisk The guy has to acknowledge being ill sooner or later.

@nerthos I mean I don't even hate the guy but that's just too much.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:31:16 UTC from web -
@nerthos I only hope it's not as bad as it seems. Maybe he just wants to avoid being triggered, and isn't actually holding any grudge. Maybe he's afraid of getting close to others.. Whatever the case, I've seen that how others treat their peers ultimately reflects how they feel about themselves. I can only hope to be a positive influence.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:40:54 UTC from web-
@pony That is totally not the case.

@techdisk Aw man. One more year, and you could have just had the cops arrest her xD
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:23:43 UTC from web-
@nerthos oh, how i wish it were that easy... Also i bucking hate this ipod touch's keyboard.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:26:13 UTC from web-
@techdisk If you were 18, and as such legal owner of all the stuff, calling the cops and acusing her of robbery would be enough to throw her in jail for at least a couple hours.

@nerthos @techdisk Just wait, take notes of everything she does, gather evidence and witnesses, and once you turn 18 start a lawsuit against her. I can guarantee she'll never mess with you again.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:26:28 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah... Then i realise: "why did my phone stop being able to make calls? Oh right, my mom was paying for the plan." i hate not having a job...
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:28:14 UTC from web-
@techdisk Yu could get enough money out of the lawsuit to pay the phone for a long while.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:29:12 UTC from web-
@nerthos And what would i use to start the case and pay for lawyers? Yeah, i have an uncle who is a lawyer. He just happens to be on my mother's side.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:31:18 UTC from web-
@techdisk You just have to get ahold of a couple bucks, and then you can charge the rest of the lawsuit on the acused party if you win.

@redenchilada Well, it's a completely legit way of dealing with the problem. I personally don't let anyone take my personal property, regardless of blood relation.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:34:20 UTC from web-
@nerthos I flipping hate being underage. I also hate how both my parents always worm their way into the "i bought it with my money so its not really yours" BS. i protest in any way, and they just make it worse.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:37:41 UTC from web-
@techdisk Well, it's simple. If they gave it to you, then it's yours. If they never said it's yours, then they can pull that card.

@redenchilada Exactly. Taking my phone and tablet for two weeks for not doing some math homework is excessive and silly, but suing for that...
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:35:11 UTC from web-
@techdisk You could alternatively take stuff away from her and start a pressure war, but I don't know how goodd you are with those things.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:38:16 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah... I take her laptop or ipad, she would probably ground me for life. I take her cellphone, she wouldn't notice at all. (seriously, she doesnt even know how to use the thing.)
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:40:33 UTC from web-
@techdisk Make things disappear. She doesn't have to know it was you.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:41:02 UTC from web-
@nerthos i do think of doing something, such as hacking my router to kill internet for her, and only her, laptop. But i can never figure out how to make her correlate the happenings and obtain my phone back without making her realise that i am the one doing it.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:46:17 UTC from web-
@techdisk Set it to MAC adresses. Then you act as if trying to find what's wrong for a couple hours, and eventually "fix" your computer. When she asks you to fix hers, you ask for your stuff.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:48:40 UTC from web -
@techdisk I'd explain to my parents that restricting me doesn't actually help me in the long run, that if they want me to be independent and productive as an adult I need a chance to learn how to balance my interests and time on my own.

@pony The problem with mine is that since i am always so good she has set her expectations way too high, and punishes me for everything that falls even slightly below that. And her punishments always, and i mean ALWAYS includes my phone being taken.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:59:05 UTC from web-
@techdisk If she's really concerned about you doing well and not just interested in control she should be willing to give you more independence, but you might also be given more responsibility too, so there's that. You'd probably impress her and get her to take you more seriously if you tell her preemptively that you're willing to take more responsibility in exchange for more independence, (like doing extra chores? idk.).

@pony That... That might work. Problem is the moment i bring up the phone my mom completely ignores what i say and says no to everything.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:55:10 UTC from web-
@techdisk stab her in the back
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:56:04 UTC from web -
@techdisk yup. That's a woman thing I think, not just a mom thing. lol* In that case you might not mention your phone until after you've explained your need for independence first

@techdisk Or alternatively put a thin piece of nylon on her ipad's or laptop's battery contacts, and she'll think it's dead.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:42:53 UTC from web-
@nerthos Then you can coerce her: "oh I think I know what's wrong with it, give me my stuff back and I'll fix it"

@pony Not if done properly. If for example she asks him to fix it, he checks it and he says "It has no power", then he can pull that card.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:45:20 UTC from web-
@nerthos Of course nobody would be as stupid as to casually remove the sabotage in front of the coerced party.
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:47:05 UTC from web -
@nerthos One of two things could happen: 1. She says "no. You are not getting your stuff back. Now fix this laptop before i decide to keep your Phone for the whole of next month." 2. "no. Ill just bring it in somewhere and have them fix it."
Monday, 21-Jan-13 06:51:05 UTC from web-
@techdisk Then we fall again into the pressure game scenario. Also if she thinks her computer is broken, she'll send it to fix, and the technicians won't be able to find anything wrong with it. She'll just lose mony.
