Jaywalking used to be just called "walking" before AAA lobbied to make it a crime.

>I'd describe myself as "anti-American"

That's really all you need to say.

The pro-Chinese authoritarianism leftists in this city are so ridiculous I'd think it was a made up thing if I hadn't encountered them myself. Let me guess, you also believe the Tiennamen Square massacre was Western propaganda.

I've been thinking about a dashcam for a while but am deterred by the fact that traditionally any visible device left in your car is an invitation to a smashed window. Is that not the case with dashcams?

There are so many layers of cluelessness in your comment it's hard to know where to begin.

>I don't think I've ever heard defund or ACAB activists ever agitate to stop enforcing traffic laws

Getting the police out of traffic enforcement is one of the pillars of anti-police activism. You see it on this sub with people who try to claim violent traffic behavior is solely an infrastructure problem, or that traffic enforcement should be handled administratively, like parking enforcement. It ignores the inherently violent nature of the kind of behavior OP is talking about.

No, infrastructure has always sucked. Antisocial and violent driving at the level we're seeing now is a new problem.

Cops don't do shit because they've been told to not do shit. City pols are spending too much time listening to defund/ACAB activists and not enough time looking out for the rest of us.

What about a vegan full-time protester living off his trust fund?

> The seller accepted our offer below asking in a popular neighborhood

Rarely has there been a better exemplification of the "there's no such thing as a free lunch" principle as this post.

>Are you a realtor?

he's either a Realtor or very naiive about how things work here.

If you haven't looked at your billing history over the past year to see if they were estimates rather than actuals, I'd start there and not bother your neighbors. Rental units aren't supposed to share a gas meter if they're legal. Unless you suspect you're living in an illegally subdivided building, your neighbors using your gas is the least likely explanation.

It doesn't matter that it wasn't your point, the fact is you called 911, got an effective response, and a criminal was caught. That was possible in 2015, is no longer possible, and ought to be made possible again.

People here keep saying the cops do nothing, but your comment is proof that it doesn't have to be that way, and didn't used to be that way. The difference between now and then is a full-scale assault by ACAB politicians on the city's justice system.

you should lengthen your user name to add "and be prepared to run"

my man... Even if you manage to succeed with this plan, she's not going to stick with you when she realizes you don't have friends. Work on that first and the rest will follow. If you need advice making friends here, that's a different convo and people here can help.

The Bro's Guide to How to be a Douche in 5 Easy Steps

They gave a technical reason for why they couldn't, which sounded like BS to me.

Verizon refused to install one for me last time I moved.

It's worth considering that these big events perform a community service by keeping the douchebags off the streets and out of neighborhood institutions.

I can smell the Axe from here. I cannot imagine a worse confluence of libertarian, nerd and finance bro culture.

>The US dollar has no inherent value either

Utter nonsense. The US dollar represents the backing of the United States Government, a multi-trillion dollar economy, and its status as a global reserve currency. That's pretty much as inherently valuable as it's possible to get.

A bunch of people downvoted him at first, that's who I was referring to.

Looks like the closet Republicans are out in force this morning...
