  • I don’t like it but parents with kids will find anything and everything to get out of trudging 30 blocks on a muddy cold night where 3 out of 10 houses on a lane are even giving candy, listening to a temperamental 5 year old suddenly decide they’re bored and its a 30 minute walk home and the temperature is dropping faster than you thought it would?

    Fast forward to 10 years old, they go out with their friends and don’t come back an hour later than you said to be home by, because they left their tracker-app phone at home and went to a party you told them not to. Sure parenting plays a part but anyone with kids will tell you those crafty shits will find a way to slip the sturdiest net.

    I see why it took off and had held on. I hand out full size bars and host driveway games - aint spending big money on decor and blowups. My house is the one you WANT to come to. But I can tell you the rest of the neighborhood just shrugs and says “whatever”.


  • I know c/fuckcars will be mad to hear this, but Trunk or Treats have taken off for a reason, and I would say are a large reason for Halloween dieoff. Conveniently scheduled to a weekend. (Removes school night problem) During daylight so its both warmer and visibility. (Ending early due to cold or fear of kids getting snatched or bullied for candy). You only really have to decorate your car (decor judgements and TPing people for not decorating) or the venue will have cars of approved people (removes chance of abduction or assault). It removes long walks parents may dislike - and the childhood stigma of shitty/good neighborhoods. AND kids like it because you can go to multiple through the month rather than just ONE night.



























  • Agreed. If smart fridges scanned your contents and made a shopping list (maybe texted you it) and it ended at that, it was hailed as amazing. Same for screens to display more complex settings and minimize buttons. Amazing in theory, clean looking no-button interfaces in kitchens and cars.

    The second some feck-shite decided “oh hey we can also use that feature to spy on people” or to send ads on the screen was the moment it wasn’t such a cool idea.
