every time I sign up for nextdoor I end up deeply regretting it

why are people so fucking awful to each other over such petty things

the current debate that nextdoor insists on sending me every update about to my email inbox is yet another iteration of the fireworks debate, where on one side we have folks with PTSD and folks with very dry lawns not wanting to be traumatized or made homeless, and on the other side we have people who insist that it's their god-given right because Independence USA FUCK YEAH

@fluffy its so bad for our ptsd but our neighbors keep insisting on setting them off right outside our house. we just end up dissociating most of the last week of june + the first week of july

@DangerDykes yeah it's been really stressful on my cats and really annoying to me, and I worry about fires
