RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It's weird that some people go through life just being thugs (lemmy.world)

Originally I was thinking of violent thugs, but then I came to think that thugs exist in many varieties, like the aforementioned thugs of physical violence, but then also economical thugs or general power tripping thugs abusing power at whatever level they are at. It such a simple and pointless living. I can't understand it.

Someone blew up a car at my brother's neighbor's house. Like a targeted attack. We were watching some security cam footage my brother was given by his other neighbor, and some guy dressed in all black with a balaclava casually walked down the street at like 3am, checking the license plate of every car in the area (down a back alley, cars parked everywhere), then apparently found the one he was looking for, put something under the car then ran away, and it just fucking blew up in a big fireball and was engulfed in massive flames. It trashed 2 other nearby cars and melted all the vinyl siding up the building.

Like what kind of fuckery could someone get into that would piss someone off enough to call a hit on their car? I can't think of any other reasonable explanation why he would have been checking license plates... What kind of life must these people live.
