Nextdoor Neighbor app

RoadTrip

I don't know why I signed up for this POS app. For every positive post or good information which it provides, there's far more negative. Now the latest trend is for Asian people complaining about being called names. The response to these posts is overwhelmingly supportive but there's a very dangerous undertone to many as well. These crazy people want the assholes, who supposedly call Asians names or make stupid references to C19, to be arrested for hate crimes. They are demanding the FBI open criminal investigations. One neighbor even bragged about being "strapped 24/7" and that he wouldn't hesitate to pull his gun if this behavior came his way. People have lost their fucking minds.

Not what I’m hearing:

It's where communities come together to greet newcomers, exchange recommendations, and read the latest local news. Where neighbors support local businesses and get updates from public agencies. Where neighbors borrow tools and sell couches. It's how to get the most out of everything nearby. Welcome, neighbor.

Meanwhile, to the extent that Asians face any threat of being attacked, it ain't white, MAGA hat wearing, Trump supporters who they need to worry about.

Btw, what impact does it have on young black males, the more likely perpetrators of violence against Asians, to tell them that Asians are "white adjacent" and benefit from the same "white privilege" that white people benefit from?

Does that increase or decrease the likelihood that blacks might attack Asians?

We ought to be telling everyone to be more “Asian adjacent” and hit the fucking books.

If you live in the big city, don’t let your wife join next door. Just don’t.

In small town America it’s ok for the comedy.

The Throbber deleted that app. I give zero fucks about those needing babysitters. And if you don't have enough friends IRL to get recommendations for things like plumbers or contractors, you really need to get a life.

As an illiterate part Asian, I take offense at such damaging stereotypes.

The one in my area is pretty much for sad losers who need to express the opinions they just received from NPR as though they were their own.

Aside from that, lots of "have you seen this cat?" requests.

Fuck Cat People. Dogs or GTFO.
