MODERATORS
Idk about where you live but someone breaking in doesn't seem like a modern problem to me.
Well, it does change. There are communities that shift from “everybody knows everybody” and the social control that comes with it to a more urbanized mentality. That makes it easier to break in in such places.
And what is modern? Cars are barely 200 years old and the increased mobility makes it easier for strangers to break into far away places.
Valid point you're making, but I'd say having to lock your doors goes back quite some time in general. As in, there being a need for it at least sometimes. There being an option for it, really.
I grew up in a house where we didn't lock our doors. Well, our mom liked to, but she was born in the capital area and not in the quaint little village where I was born.
Still, I wouldn't consider it a "modern problem" unless we're talking about the Modern Era, which spanned the years 1500 to 1945. That I would say was probably quite a good time to be a burglar, with there being something worth stealing, but locks still being shit.
Lindybeige has a video where he talks about this. "Locks and the bigger society.", worth a watch I'd say. (<4min)
Locked front doors also weren't common in my villige when my dad was a kid, but I don't know it any other way. Could be that that changed due to population after WW2 and refugee distribution. Over the last decades it also gets more common to lock sheds
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
"Locks and the bigger society."
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
The domestication and selective breeding of ridable horses happened at the same time when fortified settlements came into existence.
Not too far apart though .... burglars will think there are two amputees living inside ... who are more easier targets than one big fat overweight man who needs to spread their legs so wide apart that they have to comically place their boots far away from one another.
There's an xkcd chart comic in here.
I know single women who live alone who leave a huge pair of battered old men's workboots on the porch to deter creeps.
I would suggest everyone do this. Go to any second hand shop and get a cheap beaten up old pair of working shoes. A security company sticker by the front windows doesn't hurt either.
"And I wear doc martens so they know I'm a financially irresponsible adult who won't care about having my money stolen"
What's wrong with docs?
Awful QC, outsourced, animal abusing, lowest-grade leather, unrepairable, fast fashion boots. Solovair is the much better option, even if they've fallen in terms of quality and affordability post-COVID.
Interesting. My docs have lasted me almost a decade so far, but maybe the quality was better back then
Edit: Actually, mine have lasted me more than a decade, I would've bought them in 2010 or 2011
Tbh I'm surprised some 2014-eras have lasted that long but they've certainly gone down. The last straw for me was when they ended their "For Life" line and have since refused to honor the pledge for many people (myself included) who should still be in the system. Not that I'd even want a pair of boots that Docs has made in the past 5 years. They were good while they lasted, but modern Docs feel like they're made with paper-thin low grade leather and plastic soles that dry rot within months.
That's depressing.
Thanks for the tip about Solovair, for when I eventually do need to replace them. I would've just ended up buying another pair of docs, and then ended up disappointed
Lol
