I had a personal Nextdoor experience this weekend.

I was at a friend's community pool with a group and a couple of their kids (11-12 yo). It's not a sunny day so the pool is pretty empty but the kids are having fun and we're all tossing balls around in the water and playing.


There are two pools in my rather large apartment complex. I have a group of friends that are mostly service industry and work weird hours (bartenders, chefs, performers, stage hands, etc) and we were having a great weird monday being day drunk in the pool. Some old lady showed up with a bunch of kids, and kept yelling at us to turn our music down and poo poo. When she went to leave, we realized she was walking towards the gate towards the nearby townhouses. One of the guys yelled out to her, "Wait, do you even live here?" And she yelled back something along the lines of "No, but I know someone that does".

Bitch you don't even live here gently caress off and let us have our day off.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
Alright I finally joined next door about a month ago because I thought I would sell some stuff on it.

It's pretty loving hilarious because I'm in a rich area so it is half people trying to scam and begging for poo poo from the other half which is super-rich suburban women.

I think I'm smart and I won't fall for anything
WRONG

somebody posted asking for xmas gifts for their 6th grade daughter because they're barely making ends meet, blah blah really struggling

They posted an Amazon wish list and there were some art supplies so I answered and said I had some markers....

I go through my stuff and pick out 25

I finally go to the house and it's in a really nice area and coincidentally same exact time a Uber eats type delivery driver shows up to the door with 2 brown paper bags full.

I ask the guy are you a food delivery guy he's like yeah (no poo poo)

I have personally never had food delivered from one of those places, The money that bitch spent on that 1 order could have bought her daughter so many art supplies at Ross.
I should have turned around and took my pens back home but I just said oh my gently caress and left it at the door

What I keep doing is going in threads where people are obviously politically conservative and they're bitching and I sweetly say how grateful I am to be in California, how wonderful our health insurance is, The care for my terminal brother for example

There are total nazis right in my area, I can't believe how bad it is.

Looks like i may have the next Uillillia near me. This book they are promoting looks about as good as “Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters.”



Here’s the book’s link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CPVKZJ29/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1702421406&sr=8-2

The description reads: “ This imaginative tale takes readers on an exciting journey through Bean Land, where humans and stuffed animals coexist. The story introduces and follows two brothers, Wougu and Zeb, as they face the villainous Bean Bo, who steals the treasures of their village while disappearing into a time portal. You'll encounter new biomes at each page turn, meet unique characters, and experience thrilling battles and plot twists.
With several stunning illustrations scattered throughout and a fast-paced storyline filled with action, humor, and heart. This book is sure to delight readers of all ages!
Prepare to be transported to Bean Land and join the travelers on their thrilling quest in time!

Yes, I know I'm old, get off my fucking lawn so I can yell at these clouds.

There’s also a massive CRT disposal problem. They’re just gently caress awful nasty as far as leaded glasses etc goes and properly getting rid of them isn’t simile.

There was a major cluster gently caress a few years ago where it came out that a handful of big CRT disposal companies - think the people who hauled away the stuff you dropped off at Best Buy for recycling - were actually just stockpiling and improperly disposing while betting on future tech making it cheaper to recycle them. Here’s one article but googling I found like four companies running the same scam lol. https://resource-recycling.com/e-scrap/2023/01/19/timeline-the-collapse-of-a-colossal-crt-downstream/

all of my neighbors put their trash and recycle bins right next to each other on the curb. the city says to leave 4 feet between them. you can see the truck come and reach out with the arm to grab the bins. putting them next to each other makes it harder. it's obvious.

There was a kind of similar problem in the road just outside my parents' street. The road starts out wide, and gets much narrower as it goes on, so cars that park nose in to the pavement are fine at the wider part, and slowly block half the road as they get to the narrow part.
My mother's solution was to sneak out at dead of night and paint 3 or 4 boxes indicating parallel parking only when it got to the narrow bit.

When time came for the council to renew the official street paint, they gave mammy's guerilla parking spaces official approval lol.
A neighbour, who is a former government minister heard what she'd done and thought it was hilarious.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

We had snow and, more importantly, below freezing temperatures the last few days. That means a lot of schools were delayed or cancelled outright. My local school district did a 2 hour delay today, which they called at about 10 pm last night. This caused a variety of reactions. Most people did the usual complaining about having to make accommodations for their kids being home, complaining that other school districts called it early. But we got a few nuggets of gold:

I wish they would not cancel it. My daughter is having a hard time with no school. She loves school.

When I was a student (1968-1980) we'd be lucky to get a delay after 6 inches of snow.
