I need some creative solutions here anons...

I live in a large North American city where cycling is common and, therefore, so is bike theft. I also happen to live in a country where I've been dispossessed of my right to protect my property with violence and am supposed to rely on an ambivalent state who have seemingly given up on even pretending to protect petty property like people's bikes.

There's been a fucking fiend stalking my neighbourhood and preying upon the area where my neighbours and I keep our bikes. The bastard has made off with tires, components and has picked locks and because the area is kind of out of sight from anyone, he gets away with it. Save for dragging the bikes inside each night, which I don't have the room for, the only way I see out of this is booby trapping a bait bike I have on hand with something that will teach this fool what justice means. For the good of the neighbourhood of course. I considered attaching a small explosive with the explosive power of something bigger than a firecracker or roman candle to a pedal to maybe cost them a limb but I've ruled that out because the area is too dense. So maybe something with electricity or a mechanical contraption? Any idea is welcome as long as it's feasible, relatively cheap and not too complex (or any two of those, at least). Thank you all

tl;dr easy booby traps to help deter bike theft

Thieves are violent. They're taking away your means of living.

I have a gun license and a gun, but even if I could use it legally I likely wouldn't because of the hassle I'd have to deal with even in some states in the US. Rarely do killings just get written off under castle law, there's usually a legal process which is costly and annoying. If I could, I'd mob the thief with a crew of people and the furthest I'd go to make a point is to deliberately cripple their ankle(s) to at least keep them off the streets. That would work better and for more time than turning them over to the police who would release them on bail pretty quickly.

>>30969008
What good would posting it on Reddit do? I'd just have a bunch if whiny cucks telling me they're sorry and to tell the police which cycles us right back to the beginning: the police cannot be trusted to deal with this matter in an effective way.

>>30969090
So far this is the best idea involving the police, although since the bait bike I'd be using isn't registered to me it could be difficult to prove it was mine. The best I could do is show a receipt for the tracking device. But I'll take this one into consideration, thank you anon.

>>30968933
I like your style, but this has too much potential for lethal damage and would bring too much scrutiny. Still, I appreciate the suggestion.
>>
>>30969108
I would much rather not handle this through violence, to be honest with you. If I could trust that the police would treat this matter with any kind of seriousness, then I wouldn't even be posting here. But the fact is that there are few options and, more importantly, I cannot allow myself to be victimized here or it'll just keep happening.
If you were to ask most people why they don't steal they'd likely tell you it's for the following reasons:
>It's illegal
>It's not worth the effort
>There are other ways to get what you want
But if you were to ask someone what would stop them if they felt like stealing was the only way they could get what they wanted, I imagine the answer would be something along the lines of:
>I don't want to get hurt
Everyone knows that trying to steal something entails risk of harm or legal trouble. If we cannot rely on legal trouble being a consequence, which is the case here, we are only left with one option. Everyone knows that by stealing something, you risk getting your ass kicked or worse, but if we take away that aspect then there's nothing to fear and no incentive to stop. Implicitly, they know that when you play the game you risk losing. I don't slobber over the idea of booby trapping something just so that I can hurt someone, I'm not that much of a sadist. I just don't want to make it easy for them and I don't want them spreading the word that my area is easy pickings where people won't do shit. I want them to be wary.

Just stop caring about politics, retard. Left or right, it's all bullshit. Obnoxiously right-wing/conservative women are just as insufferable as hardcore leftist women, it's just that the latter is much more common than the former.

Operating a car mechanic business out of the garage of your fucking house in a residential neighborhood.

Wise or unwise?

>>30971435
Extremely unwise.
Its illegal.
Which also means youre opening yourself to a shit fuck tonne of liability.
If anything goes wrong with a car in your workshop (and it doesnt necessarily even have to be your fault) and insurance companies come sniffing, youre better off necking yourself than dealing with the decades of litigation being shoved down your throat.
>>
>>30972060
To be very clear, the liability is an issue because you probably cant get insured and insurance companies woulr see you running a business out of your house as illegitimate meaning theyd try to pass all the liability onto you

>>30971435
I know people that do it unofficially. One thing you don't want to do is fuck with your taxes in any case. IRS doesn't care if you have appropriate licensing to do whatever you're doing, they just want their piece. If you're going to break the law, break as few as possible. Other than that, if you just offer service to family and friends, and don't post your shit online or with a sign, then I doubt you'd be fucked with over it.

>Other than that, if you just offer service to family and friends, and don't post your shit online or with a sign,
I think they were doing some sort of advertising.

I mean, their fucking house is listed on google as an auto bodywork mechanic called "Twisted motors". Complete with reviews and business hours and a phone number.

It's not even a house, per se. It's one of those multi family houses that has been converted into an apartment building. But it does have garages for the apartments. There's 4 apartments to the building.

The entire building is listed as a business on google.
>>
>>30972170
Yeah that might get you some heat eventually. Usually in the form of "you're doing something not zoned for a residential area and your neighbors are pissed". Good advice is to not attract attention to yourself by pissing people off and giving them a reason to look for a way to fuck with you.

If I have to be in good lighting / good camera lens to look attractive, does that mean I'm ugly? I used to insecure-post on /soc/. On one thread I posted a selfie with the monitor light shining brightly on my face, close up with my phone, and everyone said I was ugly as shit 4/10 etc etc, then in that same thread I posted my high school senior photo where there was professional lighting and a good camera being used and everyone said I was 8/10 hot asf model whatever. I was a little bit skinner in that photo but still. Should I feel like an ugly piece of shit if I only look good in photos under perfect conditions?

I’m nervous about having sex with my ex.

I’m seeing him for the first time in several months next week, and over the past few weeks he’s implied he wants to have a conversation about getting back together officially. If we’re both on the same page and agree to date again, I’d be open to having sex with him, but there’s also a part of me that’s worried he’s just trying to get back with me for the sex and then dump me again after he gets what he was missing.

Is there any way to tell if a man just wants sex from you?
>>
So really you're anxious because you want to have sex with him, but you're worried he'll pump and dump?
I take it you dumped him the first time? what a dumb thread...
>>
>>30970773
Easy, wait to have sex with him until you feel sure about him. If you spend time with him again and it's not clear if he respects you or not, you have your answer
>>
>>30970773
he's going to pump and dump.
>>
>>30970773
> Is there any way to tell if a man just wants sex from you?
Not exactly, but you can tell whether sex is his highest priority by not having it outside of marriage—the guys who value sex above commitment bail pretty quickly or try to pressure you for a ‘compromise’. Unfortunately, that only works if you haven’t already had sex, so in practice you’ll probably just have to wait an indefinite period of time. It *might* work with an ex depending on how your relationship ended, but if he was the one who dumped you before, don’t waste your time.
>>
>>30970773
Yes: Wait. Focus on developing everything else before jumping straight to physical intimacy. Make sure the feeling isn't momentary, or fickle, but is strong and not dependent upon a reward mechanism to keep it together. Seriously wait like 6 months before having sex again, and if he waits, then it's probably a real enough attempt to reconcile. If he doesn't, then there's your answer. Why and how people move so fast to the most vulnerable acts is beyond me. Some are expecting sex by the third date at the latest, and that's never going to be the foundation of a lasting bond. Just don't do it. If they can't wait, that's fair enough, but it's not love, it's lust. Don't settle for less than what you're actually interested in.

>bottom

I think I had probably the worst sex I ever had last night. He was in me and we were doing it and I felt like I'm close so I asked him if he's any close because I thought it would be cool to come together. He said he might be and grabbed my penis, which is something I told him not to do ever since the first day that I met him because it's like rape for me but he still pumped it. I grabbed his hand and tried to take it away but he was too strong and I couldn't say anything and when I started to twitch he let me go and pulled out of me just when I started to come. I tried saving whatever I could of my orgasm but I was coming and I couldn't stop and I ended up getting come on my bedsheets. Now the worst part is that after I came he just put it back in me and continued like I owed him something. Worst worst part is that I started e and my libido is gone now so this maybe the last time I come for some time.

I feel pissed off but I'm not the confronting type so I don't want to tell him that but I'm doubting if I ever want to do it with him again. I felt like he did quite a few things that I told him not to do

How do I cope? It's hard being such a brainlet. I try and try but I just can never keep up with my peers and always fall short. I have no achievements to speak of. I don't even know what i want to do with my life. Everything seems boring or shit.

Is there a bigger cope than "women ignore the guy that they like"? Usually if a woman likes a man I find that she still gives signals, even if the signals are subtle and not throwing herself at him. If she suddenly starts ignoring him, usually that means for whatever reason the interest has gone.

>most zoomers are getting no play. for whatever reason that is.
Because they don't want it.

Look up statistics on how many zoomers identify as LGBT. Again, I don't trust polls, but at the very least you can tell that Gen Z are the gayest generation in history. So that's a huge percentage of Gen Z guys who literally aren't attracted to women.

Then factor in porn-addiction. Zoomers are the kids who grew up masturbating to hardcore pornography since their age was in single digits. That's completely fucked up their brains and warped their sexual tastes into something horrific. There have been studies and news articles of Gen Z girls who complain their boyfriends have low sex drives, weird fetishes, randomly strangle them during sex, erectile dysfunction, cuckoldry, etc. No wonder nobody wants to date these freaks. But if anything, they're volcels, not incels, because all their problems are of their own making.
>>
>>30972004
I'm not jealous. he's simply a better man than me on all metrics that count. it made me depressed because it destroyed my view on the world. I used to buy into the usual shit ( men are the visual gender, just get money bro and the bitches will come, just have rizz, etc etc) and I got a heavy dose of reality
>>
>>30972022
I think it's a combination of both, but yes the LGBT brainwashing combined with an overexposure of hardcore porno during their formative years surely plays into it too. they're just so neurotic as well. can barely talk without having a panic attack. wouldn't call them volcel really because these issues are so ingrained and widespread that it will be hard if not impossible to deprogram them. they're fucked up
