Nextdoor...a peek into the insanity.

I pay attention to our local haps via the Nextdoor app. It's pretty informative and entertaining. But...it's also a glimpse into a lot of brains. And, it ain't pretty. What is it with the modern American that must voice their abrasive opinion? Tonight a neighbor showed a smoked brisket in a photo, along with a shot of their big closed grille smoking. Somebody had to say something like "Great. A big serving of cancer and heart disease." It's not unlike breaking wind in church, just on purpose, through a megaphone. On the bright side of the app, it appears that we've had a big invasion of bobcats in my neighborhood, based on all the witnesses and photos. Beautiful animals. A big one was spotted on my front lawn about a month ago. There's probably a "You've moved into their environment and now you worry they'll eat your dog!" comment buried in there somewhere...haha....

    Here in MA it is bad too. I volunteered to review NextDoor content, and have gotten some removed.

    For the comment you note, I would respond: "Well sweetie, you don't have to eat it. I'm sure most of us wouldn't waste our appetite on your tofu salad either. Is my choice of silver for a car ok, or too reflective for you?"

    That was one of the things I really - REALLY - hated about living in Tucson. Only one of the things, but it was big:endless repetition of "we've stolen their HOMESSS!!!" when talking about anything even slightly wild, like rattlesnakes, scorpions, tarantulas, and yes, bobcats, bears and mountain lions.

    Big sigh of relief. It was hard to get back here to Texas, but I am glad - SO glad - I did.

    Speaking of which, has anyone heard from Nancy?

    First, I'd love to have a slice of that smoked brisket! YUMMY! Next, it seems there is a piece of our society that has to find fault with everything anyone else is doing to make life nice and enjoyable. Is it envy? Jealousy? Busy body control freaks? Democrats? I don't know, but we just have to live with them.

    Suggestion: See if the neighbor with the brisket will invite you over if you bring some good beer.

    I too look at our local NextDoor here in Colorado Springs, and you are right, it ain't pretty. Mostly people looking for help, looking for jobs, needing a ride, or venting crazy leftist ideas. Depressing to look at, because it appears the average person is missing part of their brain, and has zero motivation to get out, find a job, and work. Almost seems like half the population is on the verge of homelessness .

      The vast majority of people bought into the lie about the c0v1d shot. And the vast majority of those who allowed poison to be injected into their bodies have lost their ability to think critically. It truly is sad.
