Teachers really get the short end of the stick from top to bottom. It sucks.

I can, actually.
There is documented data that rates of bullying have actually improved over the past few decades.

Note that 2009 (the year cited in this data being compared to this decade) was before the introduction of smartphones en messe, and long before the proliferation of social media.

If someone is doing something and multiple neighbors are taking note, they're the problem. I'd tip off the offender to see if their behavior changes 5-0 will make a traumatic situation out of nothing.
A lot of people don't understand how overwhelming it is to be worried about your family's safety, y'all lack perspective and empathy. If someone was slinging where I lived I'd be trying to move my family out and not everyone see that or have that option. Cut them some slack.

Holy shit, you're a teacher with that kind of observation? When the fuck did I say I was an expert in bullying? I called you out for your asinine comment that the internet is the same as it was 30 years ago. Then I gave you my reason why I would say that. You then make this about being a bullying expert? You just want to be upset and truly I feel bad for your students if that's even true. Keep up with the name calling though. It really helps show that you're anti-bullying :)

And that's the problem with some owners as long as you as the owner is getting the rent on time you don't care how it affects the community or the neighbors that have to live with your tenants year round. I'm not saying everyone that rents a house is bad of course. But slowly but surely we are becoming a nation of renters because the housing stock is being taken up by investment groups to turn into rentals and the only thing really getting built nowadays it seems is large apartments

Oh you work in IT, that makes you an expert on bullying.
I'm done wasting my time here. I'm not the one that opened the conversation with some name-calling. Good day rube.

Yes and no. These things existed but not in an environment where you're always connected to them. You can't say with a straight face that the prevalence of smart phones, tablets, school-issued laptops, etc. hasn't made the opportunities for bullies to target their victims worse.

I cried? I was trying to have a conversation but your panties got twisted. To say/act like the internet is the same today as it was in the late 90s is a straight up lie. This is coming from someone that works in IT, with the internet. Grow the fuck up. I'd hate to be one of your students if you can't even have a conversation without needing to name call immediately.

I live in a retirement community and some idiot (who owns several units) rented a unit to hoarders. The entire patio area is loaded with trash and it seems to be growing. The inside is loaded with boxes and junk up to the ceilings. It's an eye sore and lowers the property values.
Seems that the board and management can do nothing about it.

Its going to be a drive for you. But Grub Hut in Manville is amazing, plenty of great BBQ and Mexican dishes on the menu. Its also BYOB and you can make an afternoon of it if you want to stop at Duke Estates before hand too.

Because they hate freedom. These licensing costs alone are ridiculous. "A whole new industry" yeah that's only open to the already wealthy. Crock of shit and a slap in the face to everyone who's ever paid a cost to society over weed.

I loved when I went to look at homes and all of a sudden everyone had different names for styles of homes. Looked up cape cod and understood it meant something like in the style of some older homes that were built on a small footprint so the hallways are more narrow and the rooms smaller generally speaking. We went to see a home and the agent was like this is an “expanded cape cod.” I had no idea what anything was after that.

Whatever you tell yourself to sleep at night, sweetheart. You can ignore the fact that, in my community growing up, everyone had AIM and IRC and other forms of chatrooms that spread rumors and information like wildfire, but that doesn't make it a lie.
Not like that makes any difference; bullying is just as brutal whether the internet exists or not. When your cohort is only 100 people, and you get your shit kicked in in the hallway, the entire school knows what happened before the end of the day.

> I experienced the same kind of bullying in middle and high school in the 90s and 2000s.
That's a bold faced lie. No one was on the internet in the 90s-early 2000s like kids are today. Even myself, who grew up on BBS', wasn't on the internet like I am today. The bullying is non-stop and to think it's the same as it was 20-30 years ago is foolish.

Even the parking garage had problems in one of those huge flooding storms in recent years. If I remember right, the entire top level of the garage near the train station pancaked down into lower levels.
