Welcome to the Nextdoor app.

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. 

We, The Torrance Unified School District, are working diligently to make sure that the young woman learns to tolerate and accept the racism we tacitly encourage, and hope she provides us with no further inconvenient complaints. 

I wonder if that’s because some of their friends have lied to them about how long they were pregnant for in order to cover up the fact that they got pregnant before the wedding.

Yeah, of all that, this line really jumped out at me:

How on earth did he get famous in the states? Was it from his writing? I enjoyed Gavin and Stacey, but it would have been even better if Smithy was played by someone a smidgen likable.

I learned later that I was not alone in this feeling. It is called the “Overview Effect” and is not uncommon among astronauts, including Yuri Gagarin, Michael Collins, Sally Ride, and many others. Essentially, when someone travels to space and views Earth from orbit, a sense of the planet’s fragility takes hold in an…

A former late NC state law maker who my great-granny helped bring into the world, said that “black folks had more drive, ingenuity.”

Kelly’s actions and stances are fundamentally incompatible with feminism, lest you think the movement encompasses all the shitty things women individual women choose to do, rather than being a principled ideology rooted in pro-women values.

Tip #6 for Jordan: If you’re worried about people thinking you’re a sexist asshole, maybe don’t go on The Piers Morgan Show to make your pitch.

Are malls any more or less safe now than they used to be? Overall crime is down in most cities since 30 years ago and I can tell you I have distinct memories of a couple stabbings in one of the local malls back in the day and nothing like that really happening recently.

The hopefully pending lawsuit can also be described as a misunderstanding.

Agreed.

I don’t know how anybody takes comfort in the idea of a god like many of them describe and worship.

“Oh, we can’t possibly know his plan. It isn’t our place to ask.” “He created us and everything; we just need to be grateful.”
