oldpainless posted:Word of advice: be prepared to defend yourself legally when the the children injure themselves on your swing and their parents sue you Nah, I’ll let them play and continue living in my optimistic non-reality. They weren’t from the neighborhood anyway. Just didn’t want to freak them out, kids need some adults in their life that aren’t just busting their rear end all the time. The tree is coming down soon, sadly enough. Roots are starting to creep into the foundation.

Captain Monkey posted:The roots of this were starting in the early/mid 90's when I was a kid. I remember biking and playing around the neighborhood, and there were two or three houses where some aggressively angry weirdo would come barreling out of the house if you did any of the following. The poo poo I'd encounter passing by certain houses on my paper route was nuts. Dogs, rogue tires rolling out of garages, old ladies chasing me with a rolling pin, runaway lawnmowers and kids on tricycles, breakdancers in the middle of the street, the grim reaper

Presenting, the most Not Mad someone has ever been. https://twitter.com/SteveSayersOne/status/1653127662821429250 For extra fun, compare the number of likes on his replies vs. everybody elses (which are universally mocking him).

JGdmn posted:We have a swing on the tree in our front yard, and I was leaving the house the other afternoon and two teenage kids (selling something door to door) were playing on it. This is the good poo poo. I and my neighbors on either side have kids and we're all steadily increasing the number of swings and play structures in the front yards, and all the kids in the immediate neighborhood treat the three adjoining yards like one big playground. There's a bunch of young kids in the greater neighborhood as well, with constant foot/bike/board/scooter traffic. We're always sending the kids out to grab other passing kids and ask them to join, and telling any kids they can stop and play on it whenever. I like to think I'm cancelling out a handful of lovely fud Nextdoor posters by being the yard where kids always feel safe stopping and maybe getting a push on the swings or shoot some hoops. Pretty soon it'll be time to build some sweet ramps in the street.

I was trying not to use Imgur because, you know, the recent reasons, and after editing the four images into one big image for an attachment I was pretty sure it would gently caress something up because of how big it was.

My mom had this boomer paranoia about neighborhood kids frolicking in our front yard because she WAS CONVINCED that when little Timmy busted his lip open from falling down on her property his parents would sue us for a bajillion dollars, she'd lose her homeowners insurance and they'd take the house in the lawsuit. Somehow being a homeowner was never a privilege to her, only a target on her back from unscrupulous strangers that were chomping at the bit to find an excuse to sue her for anything and everything. When my brother fell and broke his femur in preschool I assumed we hit the jackpot because by her logic, we were going to sue them for a bajillion dollars-that's what you do when your kid gets hurt on their property, right? The teacher that was supposed to be watching my brother even confessed she wasn't watching him the exact moment he fell! But no, my mom just chalked it up to a random accident. Perhaps because we had really good healthcare (by American standards) so the injury barely cost anything for us to treat.

Related anecdote- I was brought to a friend of friend's house. The host, Joe had a trampoline. While wrestling and goofing off, I hosed up, and my nose met my friend Wes' head. Instead of being a reasonable 13 year old who just broke his nose, I ran to the other side of the privacy fence to hide and handle it. I was terribly afraid of what would happen, because I was raised that everyone is out to screw everyone. Joe's Mom brought me ice and a towel, and acted like a compassionate adult.

The imgur thing is only for images uploaded without an account and they already had a rule about removing stuff uploaded without accounts going after a year anyway (which is why I made an account to begin with). There are still regular rear end image host dying worries but the new changes only matter if you're uploading anon.

They want to be a social media platform as well, and imgur during the early days of gamer gate was a complete hell hole to browse. A 3:1 ratio of funny : misogyny. It's a lot better now based on how the front page looks like
