Craigslist exists like my totaled car exists: yeah, it’s technically there, but it’s a shell of itself and doesn’t actually have anything worthwhile. Maybe in large metros it’s still a viable option, but even in a 250,000 people metro it’s a ghost town.

Can’t buy things if no one is selling there, can’t sell things if no one is buying there.

God, I miss Craigslist.

Absolutely, fuck the police, but are you also teaching your children to never call an ambulance or the fire department? Are we also saying fuck paramedics and firefighters? Because, again, it’s the same goddamn number for both, and you don’t usually get the other services without the murder hobos tagging along.

Maybe we can focus on the murder hobos and not blaming a child for the actions of the murder hobos.

~~Yeah, 12 year old should know that calling 911 for help is literally murder! /s

He’s a literal child and was scared. He called for help. It’s gross to blame him or even imply he should know calling for help on the same line you call for fire and ambulances will cause an attempted murder.~~

ETA: I don’t know where I came up with him being 12, but the point about calling for help and the murder hobos being the same line as the helpers still stands. Blaming a 19 year old for calling 911 because the cops decided to try to murder someone is still gross.

In the US, universities have a significant number of graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees while colleges offer (almost) exclusively undergraduate degrees. My alma mater became a university shortly before I started because they started offering enough graduate degrees.
