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

This is very silly but also a problem that central planning could totally solve. Imagine if every lawn used native plants that required minimal upkeep, and then there were specific times for caretaker tasks that create a lot of noise pollution (like mowing, preferably during a time when most people are at work). This is the sort of thing a HOA could conceivably do to make everyone's lives better, instead of colluding to keep black people out of the neighborhood.
