Your efforts when it came to those weird dudes in robes are appreciated. You sticking drones down my throat every turn tho'? Not. I don't like that they're out there, but I could maybe tune that out? I don't like that they could know where I am, because that just makes me really uncomfortable.

I see a drone, I'm gonna destroy it. That's not a threat. It's instinct.

Doesn't feel like it when you're threatening to break the things that were the reasons I was able to help in the first place. They aren't paying attention to you. You're one person in a city of 8.6 million. I'm not cramming them down your throat. They haven't bothered you a single time.

I've kept them away from you, I've kept my word on them and will continue to. I'm on your side believe it or not. The way you are protective of your people is how I feel about my technology, if that makes any sense to you.

	If I wanted to make sure drones stayed away from me, I'd figure out what frequency he's using to control them and then keep a jammer on me. You can pick them up at an electronics store, but if you want to make Tony feel useful, ask him to make you one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It totally is. You can put one in your room if you want, but I'd be careful with that- It'll mess with cell signals and people will get suspicious. But a small, portable one that just blocks the signal in your immediate area when you don't want to be bothered? Totally does the trick.

Plus, it's just passive-aggressive enough to be frustrating. Normally I am not down with passive-aggression. I prefer aggressive-aggression if I'm going to throw down with someone, but he seems pretty, like... unyielding about his drones and not at all sensitive to your ~~PTSD~~ needs.

	Yeah maybe these drones are dumb enough for it work. I don't have needs. I just don't want drones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Probably. The shielding necessary to keep it safe from a jammer would also block the carrier signal.

Everyone has needs. And it's fine. It's good to have needs. One of yours is that you need those drones to stay the hell away from you. The important thing is to acknowledge it and express your need in a way that the other person understands how important it is to you.

	I don't know for sure, but I feel like my guardians might not like that, but I want it. Just in case. That's okay, right? ~~To use technology for is it tho because~~ ~~I think~~ People don't have to listen tho'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think you're old enough to know your own mind. Your guardians are supposed to make sure you're safe and cared for and if this will make you feel better, then it's something you need to feel that way. If it comes down to it, I'll help you get it.

But they should be. It's like, common courtesy, you know? You've clearly expressed that you don't want drones around you. Their answer should be "Okay, I will do my best to make sure that there aren't any. But if you see one, will you please let me know so I can move it?" Like, that's a way better way to handle that situation. I have the benefit of being removed from the situation, though.

All I know is that you get what you give. If you want people to listen to you, you have to be ready and willing to listen to them.
