I’m sorry but what is that tag at the bottom of your post? I tried reading through the link but I couldn’t gather. It’s free use but they can’t assume ownership or endorsement?

Ya know, the irony here, nobody is gonna feel bad for him either.

The function of the parks service is to maintain the parks, rivers, and forests (aka nature) of the area they operate. Idk what in your view makes “nature conservation” overlap with “making sure entitled lazy dickheads have a trash can every 10 feet they can ignore” but you might want to reevaluate your stance here. Govt funding is tight enough for these agencies trying to do what they can as it is. Catering to “But I don’t want to hold my trash for 10 minutes” like a whining baby is not their concern. Nor should anyones be. You’re a grown adult. Take your trash, shove it in a pocket or a bag until you can throw it away like an adult.

Genuine answer here, as someone who volunteers for the parks. A lot of times the budgets are tight, depending on whose responsibility it is to clean up the area and what services are there/nearby, the staffing just isn’t available. Yeah it’s a pretty easy thing to do in theory, but in practice when it becomes “okay and 2 hours of your shift is driving out there and emptying the cans” it’s not a far leap to just “Remove the cans, make the snack stand dispose of their garbage on their own”

I mean I get it, the cans are nice but also, like you’re an adult. Throw your trash away on your own.

“But then people will throw it on the ground!” Okay then pay someone to stand out there and slap every idiot that thinks littering is okay because they couldn’t find a can in 10 seconds.

It’s common decency in plenty of places around the world to take your garbage with you until you find a can. It’s not hard.

Nonono, he is a fuckwit. You guys just recognize it.

He also has that “campaign contributor” money for healthcare. Grandma may be dead in a few hours after sitting too hard on a chair, but you better believe he is pumped full of every life prolonging, stem cell, rubber bones, heart pumping, illness treating, expensive drug to keep him fogging a mirror and hurting poor people.

The difference in end of life care between poor and rich people is drastic and it shows with stuff like this.

Plus it’s always the shitty ones that get lucky and live longer.

Yeah VGA is still pretty much gold standard for supportability in my experience. It’s like a console port with baud rate settings, worst case scenario those two should always work.

This usually comes from a couple things.

• The Amazon site that could do faster delivery was out of stock, had too many orders already to deliver it same day on Wednesday

• The time of day you looked at the order changed so you got in on Thursday early enough to hit that time limit

Or the Most likely:

• When you were placing the order it checked the available shipping methods (not days) and they couldn’t do same say that day, so they offered standard. The next day they check the methods again (probably taking into account the above reasons) and they could do same day so they offered it.

They don’t do the “what about same day, but tomorrow” stuff because it’s usually a problem that solves itself. Either you’re fine with Saturday, or you come back tomorrow trying to get it same day again.

The thing that is worth noting is that Amazon doesn’t do everything they sell as fast as humanly possible. They still have logistics to worry about and not every possible site can ship everything at maximum possible speed. They probably could if they forced it, but the juice isn’t worth the squeeze on that approach.

Not only that but he tweeted something around 100 times that day. Someone got their “special medicine” and went on a bender confident they knew everything. And now they’ve come down and they’re confident they still do but can’t admit they were off their gourd for a day. Like a typical narcissist yes.

We need a better nickname than Xelon. He needs to be referred to as setting way dumber than that

Every in game auction house lol pretty much any item that hasn’t just been bought out and manipulated has the same entries.

2000 1999 1980 1950 1900 1899 1880 1500

The thing these articles are doing (which sensationalist articles always do) is taking a few people’s opinions and spreading it across the entire blanket “they” of whatever opposite side the article references. It appeals to people because its easier for people to generalize the whole group than to point to a niche section.

This one in particular takes a few people who are interested in the secretary of the Navy and says they’re upset at the choice, which they might be, and spins it into “They’re all upset at what their leader did.”

You can find this rhetoric all over the political spectrum, whether it’s copium or relishing. Take it with a grain of salt.

You are not immune to propaganda.

I do wonder if there is some value in like a “protestor defense volunteer”. Like a group that their job is just to protect the people in protesting areas, regardless of affiliation or reason. Can’t call it a problem if everyone gets defended while exercising their rights, and then protestors don’t have a reason to bring guns.

Edit: I guess that would normally just be the police?

Honestly yeah. My hopes are at this point our electoral process does exactly what it just did. It’s clear a lot of people went out and voted for him. Not a small group but a ton. And my resignment has just been “Okay, this is what you asked for, buckle up”.

It’s gonna suck ass and I really hope they don’t start some bullshit that makes them squeak out of the mess they’re about to step in. (They’ll definitely try to) But let’s give the American people exactly what they asked for and just try to stop the house from catching on fire while they realize what a bad idea it was.

Additional edit: idfk man. Scream it from the rooftops if you want to. Clearly something needs to be done about this shit, but I can tell straight off from this article that it’s just a tee-up for them to go “look how dramatic the snowflakes are” or whatever bullshit they’re spewing this week. Fuck these guys, and all the bullshit they want to pull, but playing into their hand like that is hard to avoid.

Pretty sure they’re joking. Not sure how much, but that seems to be the tone they’re giving. “Oh yeah let’s do the thing they said we would haha”. It’s not very funny but it’s like someone getting a gun and saying “Time to shoot up a school hurr hurr”

Not that that makes it any better, but still. Something important to keep in mind, you go blasting this around with “look he said it!” And they’re just going to laugh at you for believing getting upset.

Edit: I’m not saying that this is okay at all but the guy in the article definitely has the tone of “oh yeah let’s tell them we are gonna start up the murder machine out front” I understand that there are a lot of people that do stick to this rhetoric. But I pretty much guarantee that in the context of this article it’s bait to get people to go “he said he’s gonna start up his murder machine!” And then they’ll go on some rant about liberals or whatever else.

The guy is still probably an absolute shithole but you need to be able to recognize when they are setting people up for a punchline that furthers their agenda.

It’s just like the church guys who stand outside with the old “god hates (slur)” signs. They believe it, but fighting them or screaming about it just pushes their agenda. Condemn them, call them out, but hysteria just gives them ammunition.

We can’t accept that as inevitable. I don’t like it either but there has to be some way that we can avoid this “there’s gonna be civil war” discourse, because all it does is wind people up

I don’t care if people are have to be led there with a lollipop and a soda if it gets people voting. Civic duty is important, but people need encouragement.

Just want to add, in the US you’d don’t have to register to vote each election/vote, just when you change address.

This is why people need to get out and vote. Nearly every election where Dems had over 60% turnout they have won. Reps never have changes in turnout and I think they have around 65-70% usually? All people need to do is get out and vote and these people lose their edge
