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

i hate lawn mowing and i hate sundays because of that obnoxious ominous droneing humming buzz they make. i hate lawns. i hate suburbs. i hate the people who maintain and live in them. my deepest wish is for all suburbs to be ripped from the bosom of the earth and hurled into the sun. all cars and roads too. only trains and efficient high density affordable housing will be spared my cosmic wrath when i achieve apotheosis.

I would argue to give some sympathy to the people who live here because in hellworld, the suburbs are the closest we'll ever get to affordable housing.

I agree, suburbs are so lame that cities now being reclassified as a rich people thing is the only thing that keeps suburbs relevant to anyone under the age of 40.

The funny thing is I'm young and live in a city and couldn't afford the suburbs. There are more and higher paying jobs here and I don't need a car.
