Complaints, annoyances and gripes of niggerly behaviors

[NoReturn]

sometimes I cant stand the attitude Amish and Mennonites have. They may smile and try to be polite, but they come across condescending and judgemental. Its judgemental in a smile-ly attempt-to-be-postive, outwardly way. Thats what annoys me. I cant tell if they are purposely being infantilizing or if thats their actual attitude. I cant tell if Im truly being judged.

Its hard to explain, its something you gotta see for yourself to understand.

Like @skekChuck said, you aren't imaging it. Hell, in general if you think someone is being judgmental, you're usually right, and all you can do is be grateful they have the tact not to say anything to your face.

Don't complain birds and squirrels are nesting in your roof and have gotten into your walls when you destroyed their homes. Uniform green grass clipped like astroturf is unnatural. Killing off wild plants harms wildlife. There's a reason why there's a movement to cultivate your weeds into a natural garden.

Also all the goddamn light, especially white light. It's terrible for the environment but no one notices or cares because:

1. Muh safety
It doesn't actually decrease crime, and in some cases increases it)

2. "Durr hurr who likes bugs?"
Me. Nature. The things that eat the bugs.

3. "Darkness is scary"
Grow up.

The insect population decline in the US in the last couple decades has been a huge concern to anyone that know anything about ecology. The decline is thought to be largely the result of outdoor pesticide use and habitat destruction, like what happens in McMansion hellscapes.

I bet they’re the same people that tie bags of dog shit on things when they’re walking their dog.

Why do people do that? They've already done the worst part of the chore by picking up and bagging the dog shit, how difficult is it for them to keep the bag until they find a bin to put it in? Fucking infuriating.

To add to the thread: people on the bus playing music on speakers or on their shitty phone's speaker. They won't turn it off or use earbuds, so everyone gets treated to it and it's always some shit.
Except for one time when some zoomer kids who were apparently trying to get into "y2k aesthetic" started playing some old rave tunes. I'd had a busy week at work and had stopped giving a fuck and just yelled "AW SICK, IVE NOT HEARD THAT IN YEARS" and started singing along. They were so embarrassed by the weird old lady joining in their music that they turned it off and sat in silence until I got off the bus.

You’ve clearly never lived in a city. Bright street lights are the #1 crime deterrent, and a dimly lit street can be genuinely horrifying to walk down. I’ll accept a few less bugs if it means I can walk with less fear at night.

It's about the contrast. There are even studies that show crime goes UP just outside the streetlights.
I get where you're coming from, and I agree dark areas in well-lit cities are worse than the areas around them (and the data is there to support it), but what I'm opposed to is this arms race of bright white light everywhere to eliminate those dark spaces.
I think soft warm light, consistently spread out, would be better.

Orange LEDs are also an option, but cities don't use it because white is cheaper.

could you elaborate on how it can increase crime? that sounds like an absolutely fascinating correlation.

on the subject of light fucking up the natural world: birds and their migratory patterns, as well as plain old flying into buildings. hundreds of birds die every year from the 9/11 memorial light alone because i guess new yorkfags need to make a two decade old terrorist attack a central part of their personality.

actually, to bring it back to the thread topic i say pollution of any kind of peak nigger, including light pollution. you had the option to not be a nuisance to everyone in your immediate vicinity and yet you chose otherwise either out of laziness, vanity, and/or being cripplingly, socially retarded.

I had a whole thing written out earlier today with a bunch of links when I first responded but I realized it was too spergy. The short version is that it's that contrast thing I mentioned.

• Bright white LEDs ruin your night vision, so you can't see things that aren't directly lit as well
  • This is why if you're somewhere rural, you can actually see more sometimes if all the lights are off than if you have a light on. Your eyes adjust for the light of the moon. If you've never experienced it, I highly recommend it to everyone.
• Bright, harsh lights create harsh shadows so you can't see outside the range of the light anyway because you've been blinded
• Bad guys, knowing that someone in the light can't see outside the light, will wait in the shadows where they can see potential victims, but the victims can't see them.

Like so:

Spoiler: My personal opinion

I fucking loathe light pollution, but at least with the amber LEDs we would have the advantages of directed lighting without sacrificing night vision.

Light pollution is bad enough in metro Atlanta I couldn't see the aurora during the solar storm, though people who were in more rural areas could.

 

[Susanna]

You’re right, we need to switch to a system exclusively using light pollution. Direct all street lamps up at the sky, and increase their power such that the entire city is lit evenly by the light reflecting off the atmosphere. As a bonus that will also light up the surrounding countryside, so criminals won’t even be able to hide there.

Eventually it might be cheaper to just turn the moon into a ring of mirrors in high orbit, so we can have some degree of daylight all year round. That would also extend the growing season, which would be good for agricultural yields. The future looks bright.

oh yeah that makes a lot of sense. actually i'm acquainted with the idea of trying to avoid looking at my phone or using its flashlight if i take a walk after dark to preserve night vision, so it probably should've been obvious. i just wonder how long it's going to take for cities to realize these cool shiny led lamps are setting pedestrians up for failure, because they're so goddamn bright that they make your eyes practically adjust to daytime light levels and blind you to anything past their radius.

don't you dare tell me you're an atlantard, raptor, i don't think my heart could handle such terrible news.

the aurora was a treat because to the naked eye it looked like, well, light pollution, but taking pictures with a phone told the whole story. in my opinion, that was the really cool part.

Nigger neighbor began to let the ceiling bird sing. A fellow nigger ripped him a new asshole!

(In our area, landlords provide the ceiling bird. There is no excuse to not have it replaced. Downside is it's the five-year ones, so silencing the bird means burying it with a towel until you get your replacement)

 

[Thé au lait]

Been calling em in but with the influx of people to my state, lots more calls have completely overloaded the lines, including non emergency ones, so they rarely come out anymore. It's extremely annoying.

If the cops don't even bother with emergencies, they probably won't come for some homeless niggers getting something thrown at them. You can get creative too!

My brain didn't even comprehend this. At first I thought you were using shitting on the floor as a metaphor. So they're shitting on the floor next to the toilet? Have they shat in 3 different locations in the room? I am so flummoxed by this whodunnit.

I suspect it might be Prajesh from IT, just a hunch

We should build walls around cities.

Maybe that will keep men who live in wealthy suburbs from coming in to buy coke and child sex slaves

They'll just do it within the cities, those are already a hive of degeneracy and crime

Most buyers of sex trafficked children are actually from the suburbs, at least in metro Atlanta

Isn't Georgia in general (especially near the coast) notorious for that issue?

Metro Atlanta is anyway, with the wealthy subdivision Buckhead being basically ground zero for it.

Poor kids are usually the victims (especially kids like foster kids, homeless lgbtq kids, and other kids from bad situations), but the buyers are typically wealthy and often from outside the city.

 

[Mega Black]

You can get creative too!

When I used to live in the city years and years ago there was a gaggle of brown youths that would hang out in the alley behind my building and make a fucking racket listening to beaner rap and breaking shit. Cops would do NOTHING so I kept dropping water balloons and paintballing them from the window until they fucked off.

In hindsight probably a miracle I never got knifed or actually shot for doing this. But the point still stands, sometimes you gotta take stuff into your own hands
