Or the stupid shit they post on Facebook or NextDoor about how everyone wants to abduct them.

It’s almost like everyone should entirely quit using this piece-of-shit app and NOT give money to a sociopath who wants the world to burn.
Welcome to the Nextdoor app.
The details in the article make you realize the story is even worse than the headline implies. She was IN HER OWN FRONT YARD (and maybe on the sidewalk in front of her house too), and she’s part of the only black family on the street. So this guy not only likely knew who she was, or at least could have easily deduced…
This is his neighbor and the kid was in her own front yard. WTF.
Victim complex is a helluva drug.
The “little Black woman” thing is really illustrative. Either the word “child” didn’t occur to him or it -did- occur to him and he realized on some level that saying it would point out how unfounded his “fear” was.
I don’t think I’ve ever read a sentence that neatly summarizes the white suburban American mindset as this one. Trapped in their own homes, constantly spying on the neighbor next door, always miserable despite having everything going their way.
regardless of Lawshe’s intentions, the incident was “still racism,” and “this was not a mistake.”
He deflated her tires as a ruse to make her helpless? What a charmer! That’s a Ted Bundy-level tactic right there.
Because feelings are complicated, and people have to get to these conclusions in their own time. There is some deeply seeded backwards/toxic shit in our world about being natural born vs adoptive kids. Maybe we don’t need to put it all on Jennifer Aniston who was doing through some serious shit at the time to solve…
“Not getting a pet emu” seems like a lifestyle choice that people should be able to make without expert help.

A friend of mine had a Hyacinth Macaw and he was more than scary enough to keep me from ever even thinking about any largish bird, let alone an Emu or Ostrich for a pet. From what I’ve seen on Youtube videos, pretty much all larger birds are prone to rages for what are pretty minor stuff. My friend’s macaw would go…
My first job was at a horse barn, cleaning stalls. There was an emu farm several miles away. One day an emu showed up in one of the pastures and refused to leave. We called the emu farm and they denied all knowledge of an escaped emu. If they were lying I think they made the right decision. That bird was not…
I have been to an emu farm. They are most certainly not household pets. What is with people’s weird obsessions with making wild or farm animals into domesticated ones?
Every time I complain about this, one of my political wonk friends insists they work and are the biggest funding driver for the Dems. I’m just like . . . HOW. WHO RESPONDS WELL TO THESE.
I know this isn’t an original observation, and I suppose in the age of social media circuses it’s pointless to even criticize something for being objectively stupid and wasteful, but it is absolutely buck wild to me that we live in an age that celebrates performative over-consumption and even rewards it. We have so…
If we’re really mad about historical inaccuracies, how about Charles being hot? Talk about fiction for dramatic impact.
Netflix’s decision to add that disclaimer about it being purely fictionalized, not just to the trailer but to every episode of the season.
