July 2, 20241 yr ole Bob is on one... Quote robert corbin Zilker West• 11 hr ago • MY COMMENT to Jonny Mat's post about dogs in restaurants of a day ago: I hate, on every level, dog culture in this city. I view it as a sign of a society in deep decline .... a society brainwashed by "BIG-DOG" (dog industry) and their fervent dog-worshipping allies. When I was in college, we fought against a perceived unjust Viet-Nam war and against segregation (My dad used to mail money to get ML King out of jail. I had 2 friends who did the "Mississippi summer"). FBI dossier on me from that era was hundreds of pages long (you could get it in early 80s). Now all human activists want to do is save dogs and spend their life savings on them. Their choice and right but then they want to push their albatross onto rest of us everywhere. Even environmentalists have become corrupted by dog culture. To them, treated sewage in a Hill-Country stream is bad but not dog poop in same creek bottoms. I could write pages, fiery ones, ... but it all would likely get deleted. Bout restaurants. We, excepting certain occasions, quit going. You can eat much healthier at home for a lot less and when I see a dog in one (or even outside one ... like on the patio, or on the patio table (like I saw 80# un-neutered male rubbing its underside about 2 years ago), makes me want to barf. And, I get to pay for this experience and then have them twist my arm with insulting tipping choices offered as a finale (walk-ups are the most insulting / expect a $3 tip for 1 minute of interaction). They can go to ____ or at least go bankrupt. If they allow dogs, just quit going. See if they wake up. Last report, ~ 6 months ago, staff at leading natural foods Austin dntn store told me a "service dog" (I say 99.9% are phonies) got the squirting diarrhea from chips aisle to exit and entire part of store was closed for deep cleaning and ~ $3000 of chips (every bag of them) thrown in trash. 2 weeks ago in food coop largish dog was smelling hot bar ... and then, at checkout cashier was fawning over the rambunctious obvious not-service dog. A memory to cherish every time I enter coop, with disgust, in future. Another candidate for bankruptcy. Unfortunately, I still must buy groceries, so I have to enter such now-degraded places ... like is every single place in this city. I love these cranky mofo's just firing off their manifestos into the googletrons.

I also just saw that commercial, but people have been doing this for quite a while with pet sitting/walking services.

July 26, 20241 yr There are people in my neighborhood (closed FB page) bitching about the humming noise on their landlines. Me reading the replies:

This is the first that I have ever heard of this and find it a little unbelievable that anyone would do this. I always shake my head when I hear about some of the "sharing economy" business models. "Hey, we are going to get people to let other people use personal vehicles during down time." Are you fucking kidding me, have you seen the way people treat their own cars. fucking crazy.
August 20, 20241 yr Are we allowing Ring neighbor alerts? Because I have neighbors saying "I hear coyotes howling". No shit lady, we live close to a regional park, there are always coyotes howling at night. Are you hearing this for the first time?

Tell them that in some cultures that is believed to be a harbinger of death, like an owl calling outside an ill person's window.
December 4, 20241 yr Thanksgiving eve our local nextdoor blew up because somebody saw a bear in the hood. People absolutely freaking the fuck out. Thanksgiving evening, I'm walking the dog and pass by the neighborhood dumpster. Normally it gets emptied on Thursdays, but since its Thanksgiving that is delayed to Friday. People couldn't wait one day and the trash was overflowing out of the dumpster. You want bears? Because this is how you get bears. Dumbasses.

I saw a post this morning with a couple pictures of a coyote - "keep an eye on your fur babies . . ." First, people who use the term fur babies are silly. Second, I am pro-coyote when it comes to people letting their cats roam all over the neighborhood. True be told, if I could find a way to toss a coyote over my neighbor's fence to deal with the yapping fucking dogs, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
January 13Jan 13 My IQ drops every time I read Nextdoor. A quarter of all posts I see are "Loud noises at 11 am at ______. Did anyone else just hear that?" Edited January 13Jan 13 by TXs

January 14Jan 14 I get the feeling that nextdoor features all of the worst things about going to daily HOA meetings with none of the good.

The closest thing I have seen here in Kingwood to Nextdoor is the message board on Kingwood.com. There are always "Traffic on X street" at 8:00 or "High school drivers are speeding too much" kind of stupid shit. Such a bunch of busy bodies.
