Hate and fear your neighbors! Assume the worst motivation for every possibly kind act! Monitor the outside world through your surveillance doorbell! :frothingfash:
You say this the same day my Q-head neighbor is having security cameras installed around the perimeter of his house
I won't take credit for being the impetus for him doing it, but I too would be genuinely curious were large piles of dog shit hitting my house in the middle of the night
Gross. The only thing security cameras are good for is racism and watching the fat opossum in you're yard if you're lucky enough to have one.
the great thing about growing up outside of America is that without guns those kinds of people lack the cajones to leave their house to confront you
Oooooh no. "Paranoid aggressive neighbor makes life hell for perfectly normal person" is a whole ass genre, whether they're accusing you of trespassing or being satanists or something even more bizarre. I have seen so many posts about people building large wooden structures to block the view of cameras aiming directly in to their yards, only for the neighbor to go berserk and start screaming until the cops came.
"I blame Fortnite for this large wooden structure! Violent videogames are going to destroy this country!"
I just hope that he takes into account that some people might be capable enough with a slingshot to damage or disable a camera from outside it's field of view
After all, those things are pricy
and the one's that aren't theoretically might improve with practice. I hope no neighborhood kids decide it sounds like a fun target
Hell, with global warming fucking up the seasons, a really bad freezing rain storm might block or even ruin the camera lens.
Also, those SAME people.
"Wait, you think that these ring doorbells are part of a surveillance operation and as such, you value your privacy?! Please, have a little faith in the private sector! You leftists can be so cynical!"
Yeah, I remember when it was in the news that the UK was getting lots of CCTV cameras. Americans were like, "we'd never allow the government to invade our privacy like that!" So now we're paying private companies to do it instead.
Lmao remember the swedish-not-feeding-their-guests discourse from a few months ago?
That was so good. This has really been a banner year for social media. Stingy swedes, lizzie's in a box, death of twitter drama.
Virgin "not feeding people is not impolite" Swede vs Chad "feeding people is impolite" Murican
Were they mad because it had beans in it or because it didn't have beans in it?
:bean-think:
The neighbours were happy and offered to help fix up her fence in exchange. Randos on Twitter weren't because she... didn't get their neighbours' consent or something.
Are you in an emotionally stable place to receive some chilli
She had Rufus the Pig corner them when she spooned Chili down their throats. It was a massacre!
Frost: those are some nice forearms you have there, would be a shame if they got scratched up :meow-knife-trans:
Frost: those are some nice forearms you have there, would be a shame if they got scratched up
The twitter randos probably find the violence of physically force-feeding someone to be less objectionable than the crime against humanity of potentially creating a mildly awkward social interaction. They are, after all, twitter users.
that never came up! thousands of posts on soup consent and no one talked about the beans/no beans controversy!
By 2025 the paper that broke the story of Watergate will be 90% summaries of /r/amitheasshole posts and the top replies.
I was trying to read the actual original tweet thread to see if she’s actually making any sense and I just had this urge constantly to find the OP and shake her by the shoulders and scream “shut the fuck up! You’re literally just walking in fucking semantic circles, while saying literally nothing”.
i honestly wonder how people who post threads like these manage to function on a day to day basis
Come to think of it, how many Americans here that are stuck in suburbs for one reason or another, that don't know their neighbors whatsoever? Personally, I only know ONE of my next door neighbors, that's it.
You're not making chili for me, but you should know I'm too trans and disabled to eat it, so if you offer me any it's a hatecrime.
I had chili with scones once and they did not mutually annihilate in a matter-antimatter type reaction. On that basis, I can confidently say that scones are not the opposite of chili.
This is the new champion for dumbest thing I've ever heard of
The Internet was a mistake
Love to see a fellow shitposter make the Washington Post.

Was this the one where she cooked for her (male) neighbors and everyone started calling her a bad woman because she wanted to cook for a man
Wait that was it? I thought it was because the neighbors didn't consent to chili lol.
Oh and then it was ableist? I saw that one too. I think they might have coincided but I haven't been keeping up with this ridiculous discourse
yes, it's all the same thing, it's been going for a few days now.
She set back feminism by a hundred years when she decided to make chili for some boys
She violated their consent by offering it
She was ableist for not considering that they could cook their own chili if they wanted to, and also for not asking them for any food allergies before making itI'm pretty sure there were more lines of argument, but those are the ones I laughed the hardest at
Oh and as a bonus, one of the people complaining the loudest about how giving chili to your neighbors is incompatible with leftism turned out to be a landlord :michael-laugh:
shes also classist and hates homeless people because she made it for people who could afford food delivery
I hate to struggle but I do think you probably should ask if someone has dietary restrictions before you make food for them. I don't think it makes you a bad person or anything if you do it though, just kind of a dumbass.
in principle, in general? Yea, sure, of course it is sensible to ask. But to call it ableism seems wholly disingenuous to me.
Also, just because you asked, doesn't mean you can actually accommodate it, unless your kitchen is already stocked with that restriction in mind. Gluten, to take a common restriction, is hiding in all sorts of things, even spices as a separator and milk products as a stabilizer - you're not gonna cook gluten free for a day one time, unless you plan for it when shopping or you do it every time anyway. Or it's a very simple meal, I guess.
Yeah I agree with that, but if you can't accommodate it you probably shouldn't make anything for them, and it's better to know ahead of time regardless.
Or you just make a chili like you always make your chili with the things you have and offer to share it with whoever can have it too - and if, unlikely as it may be, nobody can eat your chili, or wants your chili, you can still just eat it yourself.
I don't get the drive to over-complicate the whole thing, in an effort to do what? Sure, there's a minimal risk involved that the neighbors won't want your chili for whatever reason, but that's just life and it's not like chili goes bad in an hour. You could even freeze leftovers
IMO you bring food to your neighbors because you appreciate them, bringing something they can't eat defeats the purpose
It's a social ritual thing. Introducing yourself by way of a gift, or meeting with an exchange of gifts, has been a tradition across human culture for millenia. Of course, if the gift is useful, it's best, but what is more fundamental is the gesture. It's saying, "Hey, welcome! I'm a friend and not a threat. To demonstrate that, I'm going to freely give you some of what I have."
So if one's neighbor brings them something they can't eat, they just thank them and decline, or ritually accept it and then quietly dispose of it.
Gets worse:
-
She claims to be poly and then when she noticed a same-sex couple moved in, she started salivating about the idea of fucking them.
-
She claimed that putting carrots in chili is racist.
I...is she a fed? Or is this some elaborate troll that's trying to satirize leftists?
:agony-shivering: I don't even know anymore, fuck
I didn't even follow this whole shitshow, but that twitter main character syndrome permeates the whole site, it's intense
