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

the peace? you mean the spooky silence? not even the forest is that quiet. suburbs are creepy as fuck. a lawn mower would be a relief from the oppressive deathly quiet.

i don't really get being so bothered by other people doing stuff. then again, i just expect outside to be kinda loud. sirens, fireworks, children screaming, birds chirping, &c. silence to me means bad stuff is happening.

have you heard how loud those ride-on mowers and leaf-blowers get? listening to some dude next door run one of those for 1-2 hours straight makes you go crazy

they're kinda loud, i guess, but I don't live in a sensory deprivation chamber.
