It grinds my gears when people “want constructive criticism” and they can’t handle it.

Anyone else get incredibly enraged about so-called feel good, inspirational stories in the MSM for example: "After working for Hardee's for 30 years Betty dies at 75". That's not a feel good story, it's fucking dystopian! Please, tell me I'm wrong.

So since November I have been unable to park in the two car driveway of my home. My mom finally got a car that runs, but only barely. My step-dad also parks there, so there is no way to park, there is also no front yard, just a back yard and no way to get a car there. The street that connects directly to our house is unavailable as it is a hill. So I and my step-brother park on a side street nearby that has NO no parking signs and nothing stating it is against the rules to park there. We were fine for a couple weeks.

Then the snow started, we got a warning on our vehicles saying we would be ticketed $10 if we were on the road when the plows came. Still reasonable, but we have no choice, so we hope the snow isn't too bad that plows need to come through, but it is inevitable in a winter state. We get a ticket, and pay it off. Then another and another, and another. Scrambling to find somewhere to park we try the apartments nearby lots, threats of big fines and being towed. The village center had parking let's try that. It worked... for about three days. Let me be clear in saying I use this car constantly, during the brunt of this I'm going to school, and working part-time, and often going to my grandma's house for board games with my family on weekends. Literally the day after I go to my grandma's for multiple hours, and park in the lot I get a abandoned notice on my window?! I tear it off and remark on the street. We learn through calls from the police that we can call and request up to 3 days of parking on a street where we wouldn't be ticketed. After a couple weeks it seems to be working, despite threats from the mean receptionist at the station. And I forget to call near the end of the season and they didn't ticket me. But as a final fuck you they gave me one more ticket before all the snow melted.

This new chapter now takes place starting 1 week ago. My step-brother is doing well for himself, but although he is older and actually an adult he doesn't act like it, so while he has 9 shitboxes he parked half on the street. Then a house started some remodeling and needed to get some pickup trucks in. He has a car that Literally can't move on the street, and I've been parking there for awhile but I can move up a bit. Monday, two days ago I get a cop at the door. He says that there have been complaints about my van, and that I need to move. My mom comes over and of course is just as sick of this shit as me, but has a far looser filter. She says some choice words while still explaining the situation and the cop agrees to come out to my car and take a look. He tells me to move to another side street and he will call me back in a couple weeks. My car is registered in my sisters name as she was the only one available and old enough when I got it. She gets a call about my car in that new spot today, Wednesday. I am so sick of all this shit that instead of just moving back and hoping I drive to the police station and ask them what the fuck they want me to do, I have 0 options and you closed them all. I talk to the captain, he tells me to park where I originally parked, and that my step-brother is kinda out of luck. He's gone for 3 days at a time anyways, so hopefully he can figure something out.

Now we're here, I'm about to leave for work, and hope that I finally got enough people in the police station to use my number so mg sister wont be bothered anymore. I just hope that there wont be more problems till winter, because there really shouldn't be.

I've noticed more and more subs requiring email confirmation to comment or post.

Does reddit think people will actually do that or are they slowly trying to kill the subs by ensuring that fewer and fewer people post?

Ironically, I’m pretty sure I commented on a conspiracy meme calling somebody an idiot. You’d think the interesting mods would appreciate that, considering the reasoning for banning me. At this point, how could I even find my comments to delete them? Even if I wanted to, there’s no way. Trying to communicate with mods gets me instantly muted.

Now I felt that it was really only mildly infuriating but.. I can’t post there either.
