Town already had multiple coffee stands. Aww! Now Arlington can look like it’s a hipster neighborhood to hide the blatant racism!

'round here you can tell how poo poo an apartment building is by how fancy the name sounds, like if it's got "manor" in the name you know it's just brimming with cockroaches

CaptainSarcastic posted:The last few years it has been popular to name apartment buildings after people or like they are people. Like "The Chad" or whatever. Which is a terrible loving trend. They built a new structure in a mixed-use zone in my town with three restaurants on the ground floor and apartments on top. It's called "The Mix 1309 [or whatever the numbers of the street address are]"

It's a hazy drive up the 33 from Brookehaevyn, slowdown on the left shoulder approaching The Trees Manor parkway southbound. A stalled truck in the northbound making both directions rough today. 44 degrees and warming. Several reports of coyotes, keep your dog inside. 6 oh 5 in the morning. Back to you in the newsroom.

quote:Suspicious Truck Took Picture. Just happened to look outside and saw a white pickup truck slow down in front of our house, then the man took out a big camera and took a picture of our house and drove off quickly. It was too far away to get the license plate. Has anyone else noticed this or have any ideas? I'm just imagining a comically big camera like from a Naked Gun movie or something. The replies are mostly all people pointing out the multiple legitimate reasons someone would be taking a high quality picture of a house.

Utility company, a realtor who might approach you to sell the property or was just appraising the neighborhood, a customer of a carpenter who was taking a picture of the porch to ask them replicate it, historical interest, a childhood home. Or: quote:I took a few photos of 7-8 white squirrels in someone’s yard a few weeks ago…so awesome! I’m sure if the owners looked outside their window in that moment they would have thought I was creepy!

Out of all the houses in the area they'd chosen that one person's at that one moment to take a spy photo of exactly as the person watched them and later agents in ski masks will rappel down from a silent helicopter and murder them before burning just that one house to the ground. Happens to me constantly actually.

There used to be a cherry orchard by my house when I was growing up. Walking past and grabbing a few made going to school in the spring feel worth it, and I've never tasted a cherry that good since. They bulldozed it for a townhouse development right before my first year of high school. Called it "The Orchard" and put a picture of an apple on the sign

Lately I've noticed a LOT of posts complaining about women peeing everywhere and folks being pretty darn disrespectful to, and ignorant about, this beautiful and natural act. So if there are any young women out there who 'feel the urge' but don't want to be shamed by the prudes that apparently post here, feel free to stop on by [redacted] and 'let loose'! I'm home all day so you can be sure the yard is secure! Pee, er, SEE you soon LOL!!!

Also appraisers. Private appraisers needing comps to prove a house in the neighborhood under contract is worth the selling price in order for the lender to approve the loan. Or local government appraisers deciding property values for your property taxes. Also insurance companies when you add/change to a new homeowners policy. There’s literally dozens of legit reasons for people to photograph houses, it’s just part of the lubricant of our society, but these sheltered morons act like it’s something to be alarmed about. People who don’t understand anything about how anything works. Then everything becomes a conspiracy.

I recognize that it's totally legal for creepy real estate agents to take pictures of my house but I still threaten them and tell them to gently caress off when they come to my door because they're piece of poo poo gentrifiers and I hope they choke on their own slop.

Just got my third next-door invite in a handful of years. This time from an adjacent heap of streets rather than the turbotrumper. Some elderly lady whom I didn't realize could operate a computer. Seems like a trap.

Like my local Nextdoor was aggressively liberal and bland, which is pretty much exactly what I expected. Even the anti-homeless people were careful in how they phrased their anti-homeless posts, and appeared to be outnumbered by more empathetic people. Much like this part of town, my local Nextdoor is profoundly boring. That said, I disabled my account even though I'd used a pseudonym because it required too much of my street address to show, and gently caress that privacy violating bullshit.

There's trump flags about, Nazi flags at one point, a "gently caress biden" pumkin at one house on Halloween, thin blue line flags, threeper stickers, etc scattered about for blocks. I'm pretty confident in my reservations.

Privacy is dead. He (I think his wife) now posts boring stuff on Facebook.

yikes! posted:are you proud of yourself for this? It's better to realize we're beyond the point of no return than to keep on thinking not using Facebook or Twitter or Insta or whatever actually means something (beyond potentially improving your own mental health, thats a fair and super valid reason to stay away)

I live on a very short, weird street, so this is a bigger concern than just being able to show Main Street or whatever. And I'd argue that the proper response to privacy being compromised is not to just shrug and blast your personal information hither and yon, but to each their own, I guess. I mean, I have a Facebook account, but don't use it for much and am very conscious of what information I put out there. One piece of which is not my goddamn street address.
