Do you guys not have public book crates where you can just drop books off or take some?

we have lots of cute little 'Free Libraries' in front gardens that people will stop and take/give books to. I remember a complaint that it was a sign of gentrification and whitewashing. Upgrade!
 
South Park consooming but with tegridy:

Show hasn't been funny since they started serializing the episodes. Extremely weird that they only collect Randy merch. The only South Park related thing I ever bought ( aside from the DVD's) was this two faced Towelie plush in the early 2000's that guarded my bong set in college.

Here's a video I got recommended recently:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=JeesEVs89Tc
Not only does he have multiple copies of the "rare and expensive version" of Japanese Tetris, and not only does he have multiple BOXED copies of various "versions" (you'll see how slight the differences are in the video), this fully grown man gasps like a woman who just witnessed a car accident when he sees that there is a missing hyphen in a game manual/box.

That's it. That's the whole difference. He's excited about that. He has at least 10 copies of fucking Tetris.

In defense of this guy he doesn't usually come across as a hoarder. He's a genuine fan of gameboy era nintendo stuff and has made a career out of talking about every last thing he knows about those systems from the late 80s to mid 00s as well as many things inbetween. Sadly he's gone a bit towards the clickbait route and makes shit like "giving mrbeast a custom gameboy" but it isn't the majority of his library. Is he a consumer, though? Probably. But he at least doesn't leave it all on a shelf and actually goes to the effort to clean up and fix broken tech.

A lot of suburban people/NIMBYs/HOAs and people in general see them as 'junky and tacky' or 'attracting crime and other undesirables' type of shit and try to weed it out. The neighborhood I grew up in eventually got two, like a block away from each other and about .5 miles from an actual library, but it was also gentrified into a 'very nice neighborhood' with a lot of upper middle class/upper class STEM yuppie types.

At least in my area, kids do use it, some for books, but most for TF2/Roblox on the PC's

Is that a select group of kids that play TF2, or is it actually still popular among younger kids? I know that it is still popular relative to its age, but I would have thought that it would be tough to find large groups people playing TF2 by chance.

I mean I'm older for a Zoomer but people still talk about it, and for those clunkers at the library, it runs it pretty good for what it seems, all things considered
 
Look, I understand an adult woman wanting a couple squishmallows, they’re cute and make good pillows but this is just fucking vile. It’s hoarding to the point of being unable to properly care for them in the moving process.

 
That moving truck probably still has the dust and dirt from the last 20 houses stuck in it. I guess that answers the question of how somebody keeps that much junk clean. They don't.

Why aren't they just stacking them in the totes they're being carried in? Or is that just one tote and they have an entire bedroom filled with these things?

The latter, I’d assume.
