That's how ours is. Mostly just collects and manages funds for tree trimming, (communal) landscaping, and to pay the snow plows in the winter.

There's a little micro-management (trash cans have to be out of view except during pickup days, etc) but nothing too draconian.

That said, if/when I ever move, I'm going out of my way to not live in an HOA.

At least we're not doing duckface anymore.

Oh, it's that person, then? I'm pretty sure I know who you mean. I blocked them a while back when an entire page and a half of posts was just them.

I"m 100% with you. Faith of the Heart fans unite!

In what aisle in Coscto would I find one of those? Asking for a friend.

In all fairness, my HOA isn't that bad. They're more annoying than totalitarian. HOA President Commander Toreth is actually pretty nice. Weirdly, all the people close to my age (mid 40's) like her, and all of her Boomer peers seem terrified of her. I kinda want to know the story there. Like... is she former (or current emeritus) Tal-Shiar?

Honestly, if Commander Toreth was a little older and had white hair, she'd be a ringer for our current HOA president.

I’d previously just thought your alias was a deep cut

I guess it is now lol. At the time, though, I thought I was being creative.

Similar vibes lol:

Barclay has a cat named Neelix, so maybe that's what Janeway named her replicator.

That also explains why the food from it is always awful:

Yep. Parks and Recreation was an amazing show, but I almost gave up on it during season one. So glad I powered through.

Maybe just that model? I've got an X1 carbon. It expects 45W and will run from anything that spits out 20V. Even hooked it into a 20W power bank. It complained that the supply was below expectations and that the battery might not charge but it worked.
