How does that not tip over when you turn?

That’s my point.

No, that wasn't your point. Now you're moving the goal post. Your point was, and I quote,

The city handles what overflows onto ITS property, they don’t care about your property.

Plus, the article explicitly states that the ordinance specifies 12 inches, not three feet.

You can keep digging your hole deeper, but it's not going to support your claim. Your just wrong here, and one sign of a well adjusted adult is knowing when to admit they're wrong.

I just picked a random US city out of thin air.

If they're that concerned about how tall your grass is, I imagine they'll also get involved if you let trash pile up.

I think the reason people get desensitized to it is that it just happens so frequently that it turns into background noise.

This, but also a, "WTF more than I've already done am I supposed to do about it?" attitude.

The billionaires are still globetrotting in their private jets. The corporations are still spewing out pollution in the name of shareholder value. And our political leaders are, at best, saying, "Golly, maybe we should do something about this," and at worst, actively denying that there's a problem and doing everything they can to block any attempts to fix anything.

So you can't really be surprised when regular people just throw up their hands and say, "Fuck it! I did my part. I need to prioritize protecting myself and my family now."

That's absolutely not the point. I was criticizing the journalism, not technology. 🙄

You’re still getting paid a white collar salary and benefits

That's not generally what "volunteer" means. From the article,

Amazon office workers in New York requested to donate time over to Fresh delivery process during firm’s busiest time.

Thanks for the clarification. Fixed.

Who did I scold? You lied. I just pointed out the lie.

Elon Musk is done at DOGE, but we're just getting started.

Elon is still deeply tied to the Trump regime, still fueling conspiracies and fascist rhetoric, and still using his immense wealth to warp government policy and buy elections around the globe.

On June 28—Elon's birthday—let's celebrate everything we've achieved and a recommit to the long fight still ahead.

And our birthday gift to the Broligarch in Chief? A global party with one powerful message: Musk Must Fall.

 

June 4 (Reuters) - Karine Jean-Pierre, who was former President Joe Biden's press secretary at the White House from 2022 until 2025, has left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, according to the publisher of her forthcoming book.

"We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past," she was quoted as saying by Legacy Lit, part of the Hachette Book Group, that will release her book 'Independent' in October.

The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they've made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House will fix errors in a much-anticipated federal government report spearheaded by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which decried America’s food supply, pesticides and prescription drugs.

Kennedy’s wide-ranging “Make America Healthy Again” report, released last week, cited hundreds of studies, but a closer look by the news organization NOTUS found that some of those studies did not actually exist.

Asked about the report’s problems, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the report will be updated.
