Same except it was a 100+ response argument thread about finding a hardware store that doesn’t require masks. In other words, looking for a store that is openly breaking the law because every town in this area currently has an active mask mandate.

I'm sure there is a nice topical cream to solve the leprosy issue.

The two most popular Nextdoor topics locally right now are the call out thread for the guy who bragged about killing a deer in the green belt behind his home, and people praising the two old people who are constantly picketing the Planned Parenthood location down the street.

Both are going about as well as you’d expect.

Biggest thing here is whether to legalize and tax recreational marijuana. We live in a dead zone where you have to drive 15 miles in any direction to get weed (cue world's smallest violin, I know). Lot of people want to keep that filth out of our town. They're quite happy to vote for more tax breaks for the Coors plant though :shrug:

I just wanted to say that avoiding Nextdoor has become part of my "stop being so angry" plan along with unfollowing every politics-based subreddit, not reading political threads here very often, and canceling things like my WSJ subscription. I found that nearly every single time I went to Nextdoor, I ended up yelling at some horrible old turd on there and would get my account temp banned for like a week at a time because they'd report me for being a big meanie about their racism or whatever. I just internalized that all of my neighbors are hateful elderly busybodies and decided not to read their bullshit anymore.

I mean, like I said here, the last time I got slapped on the wrist there was because I told people there that they're unreasonable assholes for calling 911 because they thought airplanes flying over were being too loud. I just can't deal with that level of entitled assholeness.

Yeah, I ate a month for yelling at a lead who was going on and on about how trans folks were "recruiting people" in the schools and how she had to "protect her granddaughter". Never going back was a good choice.

jesus... ffs. Get a life, people. Good choice on your part.

Though it was handy for a while to go there and find old people whining about people parking on "their" part of the street despite them putting their precious orange cones out... so I'd go over there and pick up the cones and throw them in a dumpster repeatedly until they stopped that poo poo. Don't discard poo poo on the public street, rear end. It's not your private property and I'm all too happy to show you that fact.

I’m not on nextdoor but today I did have to yell at one of the local drunks for taking an enormous poo poo on the street in front of my house right next to my parked car in broad daylight and I considered spraying his rear end with a garden hose. This dirty motherfucker has been making GBS threads in front of my house for months and until I caught him mid squat I assumed it was just an inconsiderate dog owner’s mastiff or something.

In a civilized country that truck would be parked in a lot and on street parking in built up residential areas would be used for personal vehicles but America loves for businesses to utilize services provided by government at the expense of citizens.

Truck drivers get hosed over royally by their companies. I've heard that they can add from their paycheck to buying their own truck that they're using every day but if they lose their job before they pay off the $100k+ it costs for the truck they just lose it all.

I got chastised repeatedly on Nextdoor for once beating on the stolen shopping cart of a man masturbating in front of my place with a baseball bat to try to scare him off since screaming at him didn't work (he was high as gently caress and had no response) and then calling the cops on him.

Yeah. Really sorry, Nextdoor. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings by calling the cops on the masturbating man. Jesus christ.

Yep, which is why a lot of the companies switched over from internal drivers to external ones. Less fleet maintenance costs, benefits, all that stuff.

Yeah, castigating the driver isn't the solution and doesn't look like what was going on but that truck shouldn't be there.

Was he hurting you? Threatening you somehow that you felt the need to put a probably mentally unwell man's life in danger? Should he just have gone home to masturbate?

Also it wasn't entirely clear from your post, was he using the baseball bat to masturbate?

can't believe shrek is fucking dead. rip to a real one.
A couple of weeks ago there was an episode of "What We Do in the Shadows" where Colin Robinson said he posted on Nextdoor asking if anyone saw anything suspicious (they were searching for the Original Vampire that got loose) and apparently his post turned into an "orgy of racism" and I died laughing at that line because it rang so true

Now listen to me children and I'll tell you of the legend of the Ninja
A bunch of babies were frolicking on my lawn the other day, so I anally raped all of them to teach a lesson. Later an unmarked FBI truck came by, and I told my version of the story to the agents and we shared a round of high fives! Lord bless your day.
