    @Austen "if it's not broke don't fix it" see also Craigslist

  • SumerianLiger Jason Van Kemseke (@SumerianLiger) reported

    @GarrettPetersen I once was challenged to a fight in the Craigslist 'rants and raves' section back when that was a thing. I told the guy I was down, set a date and time and all that, then didn't show and suspect he didn't either.

  • venkoshi_san Venkoshi (@venkoshi_san) reported

    @mdudas @anothercohen @zachweinberg More generally, p2p transactions without a middleman have no protections ( like insurance or refunds). Think using Craigslist vs. taskrabbit. So framing this as a crypto problem is disingenuous or ignorant.

    @docherty53 Well, it's one way to cut down on people abusing/neglecting animals. I volunteered at shelters in 2 states for many years. People still get animals for free on places like craigslist, and do horrible things to them--for 'fun.' 🤮 Payment like this keeps pets safe from psychos.

    Craigslist closing down premium paid service

  • dracosson1 dracosson 🔞 (@dracosson1) reported

  • 2Much2fast42 2MUCH2fast42 (@2Much2fast42) reported

    @ChoKolatOnTop My ex husband was looking up hookers on Craigslist and dating apps, cheated on me over ten times in my relationship marriage was supposed to fix it he said, just made it worse. I had no choice but to fight for my life back.

    hey babe wanna come over to my unfurnished apartment and watch the four and a half hour frederick wiseman doc on boston city hall? yeah it’s kinda long. it’s like a slow burner though. unfurnished? well I mean we’re looking to get a pool table soon. yeah like off of craigslist

  • DavidPalmer76 David Palmer (@DavidPalmer76) reported

    @DE_Gifford Yeah, after a significant cooling down period, I can imagine doing something similar for marketplace access. It's too handy and CraigsList has become a wasteland with time-wasting bots.

  • y2kazy the baby from eraserhead ☻ (@y2kazy) reported

    craigslist missed connections for the girl who called into therapy gecko to talk about imposter syndrome and crying while walking down the street. i think we could potentially understand a lot about each other lemme know if u want to see a movie or anything

  • TheArtistModel TheArtistModel (@TheArtistModel) reported

    @cognitivec_nt It’s one of my main sources of income. Always down to answer any questions. I have done so for many Good luck! Avoid Craigslist and contact accredited art schools and universities.

  • heathr Heather Gold (@heathr) reported

    Craigslist and Facebook took out journalism. At least Craig didn’t get funded to do this, knows, and has tried to do something to remedy the problem.

  • TTEcclesBrown 🌈 Tess T. Eccles-Brown, Ph.D. - she/her 🇺🇦 (@TTEcclesBrown) reported

    @ravenblah_ @RobSchneider Well you're right, dating is tough out there since Craigslist personals shut down

  • TheBillBalla Bill Balla (@TheBillBalla) reported

    @KeplerCraig @barstoolsports I don't have his money and I'm still not desperate enough to be searching Craigslist for a handy. Dudes got issues.

  • femalehobbyist Lil Diabolic Farmer ❤🐿 (@femalehobbyist) reported

    @americandad2023 Because it broke down...right? See if you can find a mechanic on Craigslist near you that's affordable and compassionate. I will retweet your situation.

  • desfrenchy Desthabrat 🧚🏽‍♀️ (@desfrenchy) reported

    This is mens problem not everything in a womens life should be revolved around getting a man or doing things to keep him. Y’all brains are fried! If you want a maid go on craigslist.

  • analogfusion 🇺🇦 Lance Rejects Christian Nationalism (@analogfusion) reported

    @jamesgehrtphoto Somebody locally on Craigslist is selling a Canoscan 9000F for $15, so I plan to buy that tomorrow. I have the Mark II version of the same basic model, so they're very similar. I'll keep this one as a backup, since it's a non-issue for b&w negatives and scanning prints.

  • DeseretStone The Deseret Stone (@DeseretStone) reported

    @extradeadjcb I vacillate between getting a nice Weber and just hopping on Craigslist, picking up a cheap old one that “has a few problems”, spending $20 to swap its regulator (which is always “the problem”), and using it for a few more years until I do the same thing again.

  • JimmyFunkyTown Jimmy FunkyTown (@JimmyFunkyTown) reported

    @GovTimWalz US will have to shut down Craigslist and all other private seller sites then... Since it doesnt require a background check to meet someone at a park and ride to exchange guns for money

  • smileysteve Stephen (@smileysteve) reported

    Ebay and Facebook have failed to solve the scam problem of craigslist. Though it's actually the telecom's fault because they're all scams to steal phone numbers to make calls.

  • drainbownick UNC NIC SRC (@drainbownick) reported

    @jonathanurbach I still have shitloads, going to have to move it to a permanent location this weekend. Also found a guy on Craigslist to make me some planters for cheap, so I'm gonna get those in before I plant everythign and lay down the rocks

  • MissSilverWitch MissSilverWitch (@MissSilverWitch) reported

    Welp my car just ******* died, $1500 to fix it is still better than gambling on a new craigslist car. At least I didn't ******* die on the highway 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • HotelElDiablo Simp for Colson. Fan account (@HotelElDiablo) reported

    L-L-Light it up like its Vegas Sh-Sh-Shutting down all that fake **** And not a damn one of these haters show they faces They like Craigslist

  • laurenthehough Lauren Hough (@laurenthehough) reported

    I’m taking Woody with me which was a plan before gas hit $27 a pint and I don’t know if I can turn tricks unless it’s ******* a retail manager in Little Rock but they shut down Craigslist so I guess dm me

  • BoogLawlry BoogLawlry (@BoogLawlry) reported

    @ZeitWolverine @5thcolumnpossum Toss a chunk of bacterial colony in some tea and forget about it for a few weeks. Sometimes add strawberries. It's called a scoby, it has to be culled down after every fermenting so you can usually ask your local facebook/nextdoor/craigslist if anyone can toss you one to start

  • ThadeousC DADDYEIPISSS (@ThadeousC) reported

    Ooof got scammed on craigslist :( Bought an almost new refrigerator only to find that they had it repaired with parts that allowed it to run but not cool down. By the time I figured out it didn't work they were long gone with my money. Thanks scammers, feels great.

  • MVPGO Summer Madness MVP (@MVPGO) reported

  • StacieGrim Stacie Grim (@StacieGrim) reported

    @AnnDelaneyBeach That is terrible. With so many reputable agents on the islands it is hard to believe anyone thinks Craigslist is a good idea.

  • rogue_hitter Sir (@rogue_hitter) reported

    @KGWNews I found a room to rent on Craigslist for $500/mo. Hey look problem solved.
