  • Honestly I’m glad for progress too. But to me, it’s still not enough. I’m glad I didn’t get any comments about how little it was like I was thinking. I don’t care how little trash it is, I don’t want to see ANY of it! I think that’s what got me so enraged because I’ve been coming to this property for decades and never seen any amounts of trash and to see these straight up infuriated me.

    I went to Iceland a few years ago and it was so clean. I couldn’t find one bit of trash anywhere, in any place of the country we visited. It made me feel sick to my stomach comparing it to my home where trash has become a literal part of the city streets. Gum and other spots and little bits of random trash fly around and it’s just another day for us.

    I want so much better for our planet and society as a whole. It kills me being on a hiking trail and seeing the littlest bit of trash in the middle of nowhere. Takes me out of the experience and reminds me of the state of filth we live in and just feels so wrong to do to the one place where humans are not permanent, let alone our own neighborhoods.

    I had no idea what it was like before my time, but it feels good to know we’ve gotten better about it, in some respects, especially judging by that picture. Glad we had people like you helping to make things better.


  • I thought about doing it to his cars since I don’t know where he lives. But I figured that might be just making it go back to where it came from, whether he gets mad and throws it somewhere else or it blows away. I’m not sure when he gets back too. He’s parking his cars here because he’s moving out of state and just wants to keep them here temporarily, so no idea when he’d get back to ensure he gets back his “lost property”.








  • Siri legit has gotten dumber over the last few years and it only got worse with “Apple Intelligence”.

    I used to rely on her a lot more but I can’t trust her for the most basic shit anymore. It’s easier to go into my phone app and pick my contact to call. At least I know it’s not going to do something dumb like call my ex when I said call my mom.

    I used to like having the option to tell Siri to “play that album” when playing a random song and she forgot how to do that. Also the whole change to just playing the song instead of playing the song with the album, or remembering my choice to keep repeat on. It’s infuriating because all they had to do was leave it alone.


  • Wells Fargo used to do that to me.

    We charged you to transfer money from your savings account to your checking account.

    Yeah because that robot needed to be reimbursed for their time lost moving MY money from one account to another.

    I had money transferred into savings because that was the requirement to have a “free” checking account despite me not wanting to use their bullshit savings account. It finally led to me canceling it because “you transfer too often from your savings account” and they cited this stupid law that says I can only transfer from savings so many times before triggering yet another fee that goes to the bank.

    Fuck all these big banks and the banking system that enables this shitty behavior.






  • The one I got off Amazon for like $25 is only slightly more difficult than replacing your toilet seat. Remove the existing toilet seat, screw this one in, put your toilet seat back on, connect to the water inlet the toilet uses. About a 30-45 minute job in total.

    There’s no electronics because it uses the water pressure to push the water through, so it’ll work even with the power out.

    Especially good for renters because it’ll be just as easy to remove and leaves no permanent change.

    You could go all out and get a more expensive one with heating and other features too, but this has worked for me. Saved me a lot in money.
