5 Comments on Terrible Use of Free Will

1. Free will my ass, Hextdoor has them under control.

2. Dude sounds like he himself spends way too much time on Nextdoor and/or has been called out on Nextdoor for being an A-hole. Probably had the police pay him a visit for blasting fireworks the week after the 4th. Hall Monitor bitch needs to get over himself.

   Full Disclosure: I barely know what Nextdoor is, but my wife does, and the above-expressed opinions are a friendlier paraphrasing of her comments on the dude’s video.

3. My personal favorites are the people who relate some sob story (which is almost assuredly bullshit) and then beg for others to pay their rent/mortgage/bills for them and the people who totally overshare their family’s dirty laundry as if anyone gives a shit.

   “Hi!… We just moved in from Tarzana, CA after my husband ran off with his whore of a secretary. My young son Jimmy (Puts full last name in post) will be attending (school name here). I’d ask people to ask their kids not to tease my little Jimmy over his bed wetting problem. He’s very sensitive about it.”

4. Funny!
   NextDoor has grown into what it is because these types of people need an outlet. You can’t change it. I have found it valuable in quickly-changing or emergency situations, it is one place to get updates quickly.
   I remember a crazy police chase in Santa Monica a few years ago, on Halloween, an Uber driver had kidnapped his passengers and was zooming through the neighborhood jam-packed with little kids in costumes. The Prius (naturally), with a dozen police cars behind him, zoomed past as we stood less than 100 yards away. NextDoor was an appreciated resource that evening.
   In general I try to avoid it though. Might be good, as this guy notes, for finding a babysitter or selling a bicycle.

5. Not looked, not looking, just asking. . .

   Is this the 80 year old getting another million bucks off grifter donating donations for sob story’ing retirement refreshments?
