I would've thought they'd want to avoid legit criminals knowing their every move.

I wonder where the income cutoff is where your grandma didn't keep a police scanner in the kitchen and listen to it every evening cause everyone I grew up around sure as poo poo did

Also, what do you expect Peter to do when most of the calls he hears are things like domestic disputes or other situations along those lines? Go in there and beat up abusive husbands himself?

Why is that out of bounds but protecting banks and poo poo isn't

Imho, Peter should neither be worrying about banks or contributing to an already-violent domestic situation.

Agreed but then again vigilantes in general and teenage dumbass vigilantes in particular are bad all around. So it's like, whether or not there must be a Spider Man, there is. So what "should" he be doing?

Being a massive loving idiot is basically Spiderman's core character trait.

Yeah, unlike a Super Man or a Bat Man or whomever, Spider Man doesn't have any particularly developed ethos or goals. With great power comes great responsibility...for...something...and to do...certain other things. Which is why his rogues gallery are all either soap opera stand ins for his family (Green Goblin is is dad, Black Cat his girlfriend, Venom is his work rival, etc) or completely unintelligible animal themed goofuses like Vulture and Rhino.

There's a reason people lament the Raimi movies as a ton of missed opportunities.

Thai food in New York is loving incredible, I don't care if they're treating me like an idiot by giving me chopsticks, I'll eat that poo poo with no utensils if I have to.

It's normal to eat noodles, especially noodle soups, with chopsticks, but a spoon is the main utensil in Thailand. Even a fork is kind of a secondary thing. My understanding is it was primarily a finger food culture prior to Westernization of the royalty, similar to some parts of India.
