Do crackers have anything better to do than fantasizing about getting back at the hordes of criminals personally targeting their McMansion?

Just don't put out candy wtf
The pro move is putting out some candy if you want to do a bowl thing, and just refill the bowl regularly so the "theft" isn't a big deal and there's plenty for all.
the extra lazy pro move is to put out an empty bowl so it just looks like someone stole it all
There are cat food dispensers that do this
I would simply not buy candy tbh
Also people coming up to your door FUCK that why would you invite that
I think Halloween costumes are cool and I like to give kids candy.
seppo brainworms tbh, but have fun ig
"It's brainworms to make kids happy when kids in the local area are already doing the thing that the unwormed genius from a faraway land disapproves of"
It's yank brainworms. the idea we need to export or celebrate more america is brainworms. Also inviting children to your door for candy yeah nothing sus about that.
As I said, have fun. Let me not have fun, I guess lmao
the idea we need to export or celebrate more america is brainworm
I'm not. But if people in a local area are already doing it, like they are where I live, there's an option to not participate by leaving the front lights off for a few hours. No one would want your high and mighty speech about your righteous non-participation if you were here.
You're arguing that living in a place that has a tradition that makes kids happy, while I have no actual means or ability to leave, has some arbitrary ethical mandate for me to not make kids happy on one fun day a year where kids wear costumes and run around collecting candy because you disapprove of it?
The "invite" is just leaving the front light on, or decorating. You're being sanctimonious in a way that kids around here would find hilariously lame. They'd be fine not getting candy from you, but the speech is just... stop.
disengage
Getting tagged then immediately calling a timeout
Humanitarian pause
the idea we need to export or celebrate more america
TIL, having fun by dressing up is a uniquely American tradition that nobody else in the world has ever done.
Americans invented giving away gifts and treats to the community. No one else was able to conceive this before 1845 in Wyoming
Are you seriously pedojacketing over giving out candy on halloween?
Wait until you hear about the white vans on the highways
What are you on about

Yankees gonna yank. Bacically every christian country celebrates the 1st november in this or that way, but the halloween is uniquely US thing, way more than even current iteration of consoom christmas, and its spread should be worrying since its only spreads on the wave of US cultural offensive.
Like we even have this in Poland now ffs despite (or rather thanks to) our version of that holiday is probably the most boring and awful of entire world. We should get the LatAm version instead, but the TV drilled the pumpkin shit into heads for good now.
What no grass does to a mf
As I said, have fun. Let me not have fun
No. I will not “just let people enjoy things” nor will I “just let people not enjoy things.”
If I can’t be happy then no one else can be. Suffer with me!
seppo?
abbreviated rhyming slang. seppo = septic tank = yank
I don't understand what people on this board don't understand about Halloween. Idk if you live in America, but Halloween seems to be considered an American holiday on here. Everybody roasts the nation for having no real communal connections, for the isolation the workers and their children feel, but whenever there's an event that is completely dependent on neighbors to be good to each other to work they get all up in arms about how it's "stupid" to participate when its literally just giving children candy. It may seem dramatic, but Halloween (in the US) is pretty much the only time of year you can knock on your neighbor's doors without any reservations.
Handing out $10 worth of candy is the most many people will give back to their communities that year. That is definitely worth being critical of. But the one time US citizens decide to just do something cool for no real reason other than to see each other's costumes and give each other free shit really shouldn't be on the chopping block.

Where are you seeing anti-halloween posters?
I see exactly one poster on hexbear with the extremely normal take "giving out candy on halloween? p sus."
There are a few people who have made multiple threads about how Halloween is America brainrot that Europe is too good to participate in. Said threads are usually split on the subject. Personally, I just think Halloween is too good of a holiday to roast Americans for. Like I said, one day of year you can knock on any of your neighbor's doors without the worry of being shot or berated. It's one of the only Western holidays that shouldn't be any sort of struggle session.
Because Halloween is the one day of year in America you can knock on your neighbor's door without getting shot
This person just found out they live in a society with other people.
Many people put out bowls because they won't be at home though :/ Otherwise I'd just do this.
That doesn't work though. Like if I take my kids around the neighborhood and have them take everybody else's candy, it's kind of a dick move not to put out some candy for other children.
aren't they supposed to knock on the door and ask for candy
Oftentimes, those people have kids and they're taking them out trick or treating, so they aren't home.
yes.
