Nextdoor is an app that allows people to communicate with their neighbors. It's basically Facebook, but for neighborhoods. The company reports that 41.8 million people used their services as of 2023. So, as with any social networking app, all kinds of ridiculousness and mishaps abound.

Luckily, there's a community that collects the wildest things people post on Nextdoor. Petty neighborhood drama is what people on the subreddit live for. "Join us for the dumpster fire!" their description reads. So, Pandas, strap in and get ready for outrageous lawn debates, passive-aggressive pet complaints, and the occasional wholesome post!

I run an animal rescue (not in the US). We do our vaccinations etc at a clinic which also doubles as a shelter. Today at that clinic I watched 4x 2-week-old kittens be surrendered to be euthanised. Then someone came in with a heavily pregnant dog which he maintained he had found as a “stray”. Anyone with eyes could tell the dog was his and he didn’t want the responsibility of saying it. It’s haunting. For anyone wondering how to help, sterilisation (spay/neuter) is the number one way to prevent animal homelessness. Grassroots education and sterilisation, that’s how we can beat this.

On a less heavy note, this week my rescue has adopted out 4 kittens and a puppy! Slowly but surely, we’re chipping away at the massive numbers of animals in need in my area 🤞

Are there really "kill shelters"? Or are they normal shelters overrun by animals and with not enough financial support to feed them? What would they be supposed to do, kick the animals out on the street for a long, slow, painful death?

They are 1500% overcrowded, under-staffed, under-apperciated pounds that do not get the asisstance they need. If people didn't overbreed and let their damn dogs run free-- and if people stopped villifying the pound and started helping the pounds out-- they wouldn't have such a high rate of euthanasia. But people are stupid and weird.

    “That’s what therapy is for”. This is honestly so reasonable. I mean, I know some people can’t afford really good therapists and stuff but that doesn’t mean there is literally no help. And I know some people just genuinely can’t go to therapy for other reasons, but it’s important to know that there is a place for you, and you can’t just disrespect people and hope they just become that place.

    Worked in a fast-paced bakery across from a huge church, which filled once services ended. A woman infuriated me to the point I asked her where she had just come from, and she answered church, pointing at it. I said she couldn't have been listening to the sermon with her nasty attitude. This got a huge laugh from the rest of the customers.

    I'm beginning to think that my husband and I are in the minority when it comes to eating out. We road trip a lot and visit lots of restaurants both chain and local, we always tip 20% or a bit more (we round up) and our servers are so gracious and appreciative. It's a hard job....one that I could never do! There was one morning in a packed restaurant where there was a server in training and she had our table and kept apologizing. We reassured her over and over, 'no worries! It's all good' but I saw other patrons giving her c**p. When I went to pay, another server was talking to her cause the poor thing was literally in tears. I gave her our money and generous tip and said, 'You are doing fine. Breathe. This is a very difficult job and I couldn't do it! Don't let the Muggles get you down'.

    EXACTLY!! So many Christians want to say "What would Jesus do if he knew you were gay?!!" He would sit at the same table with them, He wouldn't judge them, He would love them anyways. Some Christians also want to say "The Bible says this the Bible says that" But if the person you're speaking to is a non-believer, the rules of the Bible don't apply to them. The Bible is for Christians- it also calls us to love our neighbors. That includes gays, lesbians, trans, poly, Muslim, Mormon, Jewish, blacks, whites, Asians. Everybody.

    The Nextdoor subreddit has been going strong for almost 10 years. Created in 2015, the group can't boast astronomical numbers, but its 35k hardcore members are definitely passionate and constantly hungry for some neighborhood drama. 

    The group is not about your run-of-the-mill Nextdoor posts pertaining to real neighborhood issues. They have an immediate disclaimer: "If it's not absurd or hilariously petty, move it to the real Nextdoor." On the subreddit, it's all about watching the dumpster fire at your neighbor's from afar!

    It is really important for older people to have social connections and this is sweet. There is an amazing Australian show called Old People's Home For 4 year olds where they pair older people with 4 year olds and they do activities with them to help with depression, loneliness and mobility. They do testing before and after to see what improvement they have made. There is also an Old People's Home For Teenagers.

    There was an identical series in the UK too-it was so sweet. The children seemed to instinctively adjust their play to involve their new older friends-one episode showed them having an obstacle course race, and they were helping each other through hoops and across stepping stones, it was very sweet. And every single older person involved in the project said they felt their mood had improved, and they scored higher on various psychological and memory tests, and some even could reduce their pain medication because they felt better and more active.

    The real Nextdoor, on the other hand, dates back to 2011. Its mission was to provide a sense of community and safety to neighborhoods. And in that regard, it mostly succeeds. It can be a great place to sell a couch or find a plumber to fix a leak (although competitors like Facebook's Neighborhoods might steal the spotlight sometimes).

    ADVERTISEMENT

    However, the private social network hasn't been without controversies since its inception, especially in the last few years. Some suggest that people's fixations on crime can unnecessarily create a sense of paranoia in communities. Most of the post on Nextdoor are related to crime, yet suburban crime rates in some states (Michigan, for example) are going down.

    I understand. I am the same. I think it is the scale of things. Sometimes the tragedy is so big that you are kinda at loss and overwhelmed. But this seemingly small little thing is easier to comprehend, hence the emotion. It also seems closer to you, so you can empathize with more easily. That's my take anyway.

    A 2023 study found that people inaccurately perceive the crime in their neighborhoods due to apps like Nextdoor. The researchers explain that this happens because people make judgements with the information available to them.

    That’s a very bold assumption. I know that in many parts of the world being homeschooled equates to crazy religious fanatic isolating their kids from the evil world, but in my neck of the woods the people who homeschool are mostly those with kids who are neurodiverse, who are gifted, who are being bullied or have other vulnerabilities and the school system is is letting down, not resourced to provide for and not advocating for to ensure a safe environment. Leaving a kid in that environment would mess with their lives far more.

    It's not a good idea to home school until you have materials and have prepared lessons for your children. It's not as easy as it sounds, and if done badly will leave the child with huge learning gaps.

    It's usually said that you can't choose family, but the same sometimes goes for neighbors as well. You can't always choose who you live next to, so your best bet is to make do with what you have. Interestingly, relationships with neighbors can be important to our social and mental well-being. For example, one study found that low contact with neighbors results in worse psychological well-being for adults aged 40-70.

    Drano always makes my clogs worse. If you leave the clog as it is, it usually only takes a coat hanger or snake to grab a little hair or fiber and the whole clog follows along. Draino makes the hair fragile so when you try to remove it you only get little pieces. I always just use a coat hanger or a snake.

    Yes, shared-interest clubs can be a good way to meet new people, but there is a serious downside - they are often small, close-knit groups, and if one member approaches another and it doesn't go well, then the whole mood of the group can be ruined for one or both and they will leave rather than deal with the awkwardness. That can be very intimidating.

    My guess (if this isn't a complete fantasy), is that the neighbor said something about using the neighbor's wifi to work from home. (Source: I am a librarian and you would not believe how many people believe that all "computer words" are interchangeable. I've definitely had someone say, "I can't get into my email" when they meant "my phone won't connect to the library's wifi." And, "I can't connect to the wifi," when they are sitting at a library computer that is failing to display the weather.com website, because the address they typed in was actually weahter.com.)

    I've seen worse beginning art and a few years and a lot of sketching later they've got their first Gallery show. I'm glad you helped them on their journey into art. The two little dogs on the boy's shirt are a bit more advanced technique-wise, you may be one of their first tries at drawing people. Which IS HARD! Ask me how I know. ;) Drawing cartoon characters is a lot of people's first art success, they are usually simply drawn and easily copied but there is some innate talent showing here.

    My lights were off this Halloween evening. Because I was sitting in the hospital's ER with my best friend, who had collapsed in a store's parking lot and went down like a felled tree. Thank God, there was no concussion, but I didn't get him home until midnight. Pity - this year I had loaded up on full size candy bars, genuine German and Belgian chocolate.

    It looks as if it's in the middle of the yard. If it was by the road (and especially if it had a sign on it saying "free") then you might be forgiven to thinking it was up for grabs. Just because something isn't nailed down doesn't mean you should take it.

    That IS pretty far back from the road for assuming it was free. Around here, on the sidewalk (or next to) is often assumed to be free even if no sign. This is obviously up a lot closer to the house.

    While I agree that the 'taker' should have knocked on the property door to check if the treadmill was available to take, that is clearly a powered treadmill, not a manual one, so nobody is reasonably going to assume it was set up there deliberately.

There is something mentally wrong with a person who would do this. I had the best in-laws, they grew a couple of wonderful men and I got to be married to one of them for 44 years. They are all gone now and the world is a poorer place for it. And this B is walking around making people miserable...I'd make a trade.

    Oh lawd, I know the types of people who would live in New Braunfels, and they are the worst of the worst "new immigrants" from Germany who love feeling like the superior race to others and were amongst the worst offenders when it came to racism and segregation, even into the early 1960s. There were certain parks in that town that my Mexican parents couldn't enter as teens because of their ethnicity and they had to stop along the way for food because they couldn't rely on finding service or being let inside any of the convenience stores in the town. Let's just say that I'm not at all surprised that this kind of thing would come from someone from New Braunfels and that the people in San Antonio and Austin (where New Braunfels is right in the middle of) are shaking their heads at this nonsense.

    In 1815 the volcano Tambora erupted in Indonesia and changed global climate. Some places saw snow every month in 1816. If one volcano can do that, then smoke from Canadian wildfires reaching NYC. (I live in New York State and personally witnessed the smoke.)

I make the offer a lot because I am old and not in a rush. But I remember how it was when I had kids to pick up after work and dinner to get started. I didn't have that extra five minutes then.

    They were already "in the process of checking out" though? Also not sure I would have thought this person needed extra consideration due to her age, unless that's a very old photo. FWIW, I would always let someone with a few items go first if they arrive before I've begun, but it would never occur to me to undo any part of the process I'd already started.

    Why do sooo many people believe that children seeing things they don’t remotely understand will harm them somehow? Can someone with kids explain it, please? Like if they find a vibrator that’s merely a tapered plastic tube, how does it harm them? They don’t immediately press it to their clits or push it up their butts because they don’t know any of that, so how is if harmful? My mom once beat me when I was nine and broke a string on my mandolin and told her in front of company “Pleade take me to the music store; I broke my G-string.” I was TWENTY-FOUR before I understood why she was angry! 😞😞😞

    While I am not a person to complain or care about this sort of thing, you must know that children ask questions, many many questions. And they don’t stop until they get a satisfactory answer. And sometimes it is incredibly difficult to balance giving a satisfactory answer while maintaining age appropriate boundaries and personal boundaries (because I don’t want my child blabbing at school about finding mummy’s dildo). No, they may not do with a vibrate as you said, but I still don’t want them playing with it or rubbing it on their face or putting it in the Barbie house, nor do I want to do into an in-depth conversation about it’s use while I am trying to make dinner. I will NEVER punish my kids for asking questions. But I’m not sure how to instantly come up with an explanation for a teddy with a ball gag to my 8yo when we are just trying to drive to school. I’m sorry your mother was so awful.

    Ivermectin is used in flea control on cattle. I used to use it on my dog for fleas (vet prescribed). You had to use it in specific amounts - I think 1 cc per pound of body weight. When I heard about people using it to cure Covid, I just laughed and laughed. On the bright side, if these people didn't kill themselves first, they wouldn't need flea collars.

    They probably know people who got covid and also got over covid in the same amount of time it took for them to take 3 doses of ivermectin. No amount of quality research controlling for variables and using large samples could ever compete in the minds of people like Nancy who saw what she saw and now knows better than the scientific community. I do not know how to combat this type of thinking and have lost a lot of sleep over it. :(

It's not like he's advertising for companionship or specifying that the lady needs to be young, single, and attractive. It's mostly just sexist to limit it to women.

    Done correctly, spanking is not "hitting" kids. When you strike your child in anger, you've already lost. But if your child will just tune you out when tell him no, you've also lost. I know kids who hit other kids in kindergarten without ever having had a hand laid on them. Care to guess why? Because their parents let them hit them and their siblings with no consequences. Where do you think hitting, kicking and biting kids come from, anyway? From parents who won't discipline or back themselves up or even spank.

    The problem is we have a whole generation of parents who don't want their kids to have consequences for doing things they shouldn't do. I guess all we can to do is wait for these parents to be mugged, disrespected, and beaten up by these kids of other parents who didn't want their kids to face any consequences for things they shouldn't have done as kids.

    “Please do your part to protect the environment.” Like not using chemicals? I hate people like this. Hopefully they work closely with Roundup often.

    I love dandelions! I made some jelly from them last year. I also made clover syrup from clover growing in my yard.

    Not to criticize the single people... but here I am criticizing them. Whenever you have to add a disclaimer like that, it's an indication you ARE doing what you claim you aren't.

    The post include a crayon picture of a suit-wearing person with a butt for a face and devil horns and 666 on the forehead. The butt is tooting. The words evil and SSatan are written on the paper too. It is clearly a child's drawing.
