If I were to guess, probably the rise in social media has to deal with some of the change, because there is a much wider audience now. In the past if you were a kid who did something "edgy", the rest of the kids would just think you're a moron. Nowadays you can film your escapades and put it on the internet in the name of content creation, and other moron kids can like it and cheer you on.

Vast majority of kids/teens are fine. Social media enables the 5% of morons to get fame, and encourage other moron kids/make certain things look socially acceptable.

I find it hilarious that people are getting mad at the mall for doing this, instead of getting mad at the parents of the children/teens that engage in this. Way to ruin it for all the children/teens (and their parents) that don't engage in this behavior.

Per the article, getting into fights involving 20-30 individuals, shooting random people with pellets. (Don't fuck with pellets, if they hit you in the face or eyes, it can really mess your vision up.)

I'm not very knowledgeable in how transparency of an HoA vs actual incorporated town or city is, but I wonder if it's time Columbia be incorporated into an actual town or city?

Incorporated towns/cities are rare in Maryland, but I have lived in one in Maryland and in other states, and information seemed to be visible.

Here's an article I found from almost 30 years ago: https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1994-10-05-1994278199-story.html

No you don't hate signs, you just called out Linfeng Chen only. Then you suggested he won because he "bought" votes... All without evidence.

Sounds a lot like people who claim an election is rigged without evidence...

You then changed your post to backtrack on all of this.

If you just went out and said "I'm upset that Linfeng Chen won" I would respect that a lot more.

It was never about the signs or litter. It was always about someone not liking a particular candidate.

I get your preferred candidate didn't win, and you're upset by that, but insinuating that Linfeng Chen "bought" his seat without evidence is wrong.
