It’s honestly terrifying how much people really don’t give a shit about what other people want (hexbear.net)

Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.

Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat

Once I became a homeowner, I had to actively practice ongoing awareness of homeless people all around me. My comfort did nothing for them, and any superficial discomfort I felt seeing them was nothing compared to what they were going through every day.

Because of that, I started deliberately walking among them and volunteering to help them while acknowledging their ongoing existence. I even passed out food directly from my driveway until grillman got the city on me for doing that.
