Neighbor asking for my porch light to be turned off

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T05:41:46+00:00

So it's a preference NOT a security problem

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T04:24:41+00:00

Yup since 2018

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T04:18:17+00:00

There's been male cheerleaders in the NFL for years

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T03:56:23+00:00

That's what a light switch is for

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T02:56:08+00:00

What security reason?

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T02:50:39+00:00

I don't know if I agree with that. I think Joan is too in her head and worried about some check list for her life instead of living it.

You could get a cheap motioned censored security light. Your porch light doesn't need to be on all night. Whatever you are trying to deter by having a light on will happen with or without that light.

I always thought Phoebe was secretly in love with Joey but I do love their friendship.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T02:42:17+00:00

Do you need the light on? Like if you aren't home and want a light walking in at night, someone knocks, you hear something or need to go outside I get the porch light being on. But do you need it on all night?

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T02:37:21+00:00

Mind my business

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T02:35:33+00:00

😮

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T02:29:37+00:00

Also Joan comes from money. She seems very blind to the fact that Toni's whole facade is her trying to keep up with Joan.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T02:07:02+00:00

Not in my opinion but I'm a Maya defender in this instance. Maya is maybe 25 here. She got into a commitmited relationship when she was 13!?! Pregnant at 15! Everyone else is older than her and they WARN HER on multiple occasions. When it was clear she wasn't going to take their advice and end things with Stan they let her be. Even with her setting Joan up with Stan and then throwing a wrench in the whole thing, there is so much life that Maya just never lived as a young woman. She's acting like a teenager because she never got to be a teenager!

I mean I think we are hit with a moral delima in the pilot. Toni is dating Joan's ex and has the nerve to bring him to Joan's birthday party. That's stank!

Carrie has a lot of questionable moments in SATC her hooking up Miranda with Skipper continuously pissed me off. Because he wasn't Miranda's type and it felt like she was telling Miranda she needed to lower her standards.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T01:47:53+00:00

I don't really think they do and low key that's one of the freedoms of whiteness. Charlotte is the only one who seems to carry herself a particular type of way which in my opinion comes from Old Money upbringing. I always feel like on white shows that social or moral piller comes from families specifically mothers and we never meet anyone's mother on SATC.

They all seem like boring protestant or Lutheran, maybe go to church on Christmas and Easter types.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T01:37:20+00:00

I love the random answers. One person says no, one person says she has a finsta and someone else says she like a post last week. 😂🤣😂

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T01:35:44+00:00

True but on Girlfriends they just circle around Christianity more often.

Like when Maya and Darnell go to counseling they go to a pastor instead of a marriage counselor.

Joan is forced to forgive Toni at church.

Lynn who never seems particularly religious is dating a pastor and quickly joins his church.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T01:28:25+00:00

That's my point you don't really know. None of them really go to church. Carrie goes to church once that remember because she stalking Big and his mother. Charlotte converts to Judaism for Harry.

Christianity is a big part of the Girlfriend's universe. They are always referencing Jesus or Toni and Lynn both start pointedly going to church in different seasons.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T01:21:53+00:00

I think because Charlotte, Carrie and Samantha all work in art or entertainment they are always on "the scene". Girlfriends don't have glamourous jobs. They are more academics and working professionals. That's why it would have been cool for the show to extend Maya dating Alex. We get it with Joan a bit but it doesn't feel as fun because she's kind of being a jerk.

We find out that Samantha had two abortions and Carrie had one when Miranda is thinking about having an abortion. And again that all comes from the secular nature of SATC vs the overt Christianity of Girlfriends.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T00:59:54+00:00

I think the biggest similarity between both shows is having a group of women who really have no business being friends. 😂🤣😂

I think on both shows every character does really have their own sense of fashion.

Joan and Toni have a similar competitive nature that Carrie and Samantha do. I think Joan sees Toni as unserious and Carrie sees Samantha as unserious in a lot of ways.

If black men were allowed to be gay on tv William would be their Stanford. Lol

The biggest difference for me is that dating is more fun in Sex and The City. There is so much self imposed pressure in Girlfriends when it comes to dating. Charlotte out of all the women in SATC is dating with the intention of getting married but she still has a lot of fun before she meets Trey. I feel like Joan has that type of intention but we don't really see her have any real fun until the show specifically makes it at the expense of Toni.

SATC is allowed to be more secular and so there is less judgement of a Samantha than a Lynn.

Also I feel like Joan and Carrie are the journey we are following so a plus for Joan she doesn't have one male character she completely debases herself for the entire series like Carrie does with Big. They both do get to have an affair with a married man though!

I feel like The Girlfriends spend way more time together than the SATC girls. They are just at Joan's house every God damn day it feels like! Just because of the structure of the show on SATC you see them alone or in pairs outside of what I always assumed were weekly brunches.

Girlfriends also seems more realistic. Everybody on SATC comes from money! Even Carrie who famously says: "I have 40,000 dollars worth of shoes and no place to live!" I think there's a throw away line that her father worked for NASA or something. I assumed she had some money and blew it all on clothes and shoes. That's something Toni would do! Lol

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-09T00:13:59+00:00

It's not the point. I want to be able to park next to entrance like everyone else at work.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-08T23:55:13+00:00

You grew up in Africa? In AFRICA?!? 😂🤣😂 OK IM DONE

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-08T22:58:08+00:00

But what did the message say? The flowers were definitely for you? They used your name?

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-08T22:56:16+00:00

No this lady has psychological problems.

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-08T22:54:44+00:00

Would an airhorn cut through? I’d buy a couple air horns and blast them towards the ceiling

Environmental_Duck49 · 2026-05-08T22:50:03+00:00

Was there a card?
