I saw a meme a moment ago, discussing various ways you can keep your neighbors at bay. In this case, it was appearing just slightly unhinged so they won't want to engage. :blobcatgiggle:

I laughed, it's funny, but while I was boosting and favoring it made me think about my new home. I moved in a small bit ago and I have still yet to meet all but one retiree.

No one says hello, no one stopped to welcome me or ask questions. A few have waved as they drive by and park in their garages. But they shut the doors as their cars are shutting down. I was three states away from this place a year ago and the neighborhood was much the same.

I remember when neighbors were bothersome. When you would come home and find someone sitting outside or walking their dog and they would want to strike up a conversation.

I'm curious how things will look in coming years. Will we form tighter groups with our neighborhoods, or will we further splinter, I wonder...

@mentallyalex I’ve only ever had that “no one talks to each other” experience living in Seattle, WA. Otherwise, people are friendly, stop to say hi and help one another out.

@mentallyalex Austin, TX was the most interactive neighborhood I’ve had. Everyone knew everyone, there were block parties, parades, holiday get togethers. It was a place you’d sit on the porch just to be able to hang out with the neighbors. It was like something out of a movie.
Now on East Coast, I only know the people in the 10 or so houses on my street. But I consider them friends - we’ll call to see if someone wants extra food, take a neighbor to the ER, and text each other with updates.

@mentallyalex I’m confident that living there now wouldn’t compare to my experience. I think it was the dot com bubble and early parenthood that created the perfect storm.

I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353

This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)

@sundogplanets There were TWO separate pieces of junk that fell in NC? First one was in the woods, second one on a house!
