Bad people distort narratives regardless of the actions of others… No matter what she did, my first wife was always the victim. DARVO is a thing, identify it and ignore it. These people looting a market for resources after a long night of rioting does not disqualify their complaints. Their complaints must be evaluated and addressed independently of their reaction to the original violation against them.

During riots, people often loot markets for food and water. Which makes perfect sense: they aren’t carrying a lot of resources and a night of high adrenaline rioting will exhaust and dehydrate people.

The only real solution is to provide access to cheap or free food and water throughout and after, but who is going to do that?

The stores themselves could lock up the pricey stuff and offer water access and cheapo food stuff, ask for payment, but not lock their doors or make a huff if people don’t pay. But they’d have to plan for it, and not every business is going to be riot savey.

Besides, most biz are covered by insurance, so not really a big deal.

Hostile, selfish, and distracted drivers

Every day stuff out, or if having stuff often for a few weeks, like being on a toast binge.

But if not using for over a week most stuff should be put away.

We keep microwave and instapot accessible, but toaster is really a few times a year thing. Blender is probably more often, but still rare.

Usually my pizza comes on wax paper or the like, and the box is either grease free or close enough (like a tiny spot or two).

Or it’s frozen/refrigerated, and wrapped on plastic, so, again, the box goes in recycle.

I don’t put soiled things in recycle, but you can’t tell, cause it rains often and everything ends up looking fucked.

It is actually justification, you just choose not to accept it.

I mean, I specifically like GTA because it allows me to rack up 4 stars and brutally and violently murder POS LEOs until they give up cause I’ve trashed their forces and they don’t have anything heavier to send at me.

I would be happy to see the same done in real life, but I doubt the outcome would be anywhere near similar.

I used to even spend hours on Assassin’s Creed just gutting cops, stealing their rides and running over thugs until I saw another set of cops to rob. Then I’d kill them, and take their ride, and…

Fuck the police!

I’d start actually using the bidet I bought 3 years ago.

Alive Day: can be celebrated any day and by anyone around the world, so long as they are living.

They do this all the time just to be dicks… It would’ve been safer and faster to just run it over the car … And this video should prove these specific individuals as liable for the damages.

Turning? There was never enough fraud to justify any effort, less you consider gerrymandering and unfair polling practices, or other efforts to limit voting rights or fair outcomes.

I see tits everywhere…

They are typically at least 2.85in in diameter, not 2in. They describe them on the sales receipt/contract.

Maybe not here, but post the location to a group of antiflockers, suggest it’s pointing at a home and shouldn’t be, suggest maybe it should be removed.

You can stay pretty anonymous.

There are those of us who wouldn’t mind just quietly popping by a week later and taking care of that for ya.

If any are close by it certainly might get done.

Seems most people vote their feels or their chosen clan… Whoever they think they get along better with socially.

It seems few people seriously assess a politicians job qualification or work hisrory.

Heck, my SO just lets me do the work, but I refused to just let them copy my vote. I write up paragraph summaries for each candidate then a blurb explaining my choice. They can disagree if they want, it’s okay. I don’t look to see how they vote, or ask, but they basically tell me they trust me and just wanna copy me.

It’s honestly pretty upsetting.

And I bet one partner in most relationships just does the same, or votes party line, or just generally doesn’t give a hoot but votes anyway.

Anything that is just local hardware can be saved or copied to an encrypted cloud drive of your choosing, via VPN if that’s what you want.

You don’t have to use a security cam system that hosts the cloud storage, or acts as a middle man between you and a live feed.

There are local systems that can host remote access portals too.

These things existed before things like ring or wyze…

I have no problem with being able to verbally ask a computer to do basic useful things, it’s a far more advanced PC-human inferface than the computer mouse…

But beyond that, meh. I get how it can be used by science to solve complex issues or analyze large datasets, and that’s cool, but I don’t need anything on my PC more calable than an aide that can set a timer for me, or thereabouts.

If it can’t already do something with way fewer errors than people, than it shouldn’t be doing that yet.

If it can, then we might as well put it to work.

We didn’t build stone tools because our hands were good enough, or bronze tools because stone was good enough,…

The items listed weren’t necessarily waste, pans and tires and part bikes and barrels and recyclables he may have collected to turn in for coin… He may have cleaned up other areas in order to collect some of the stuff he had at his site, we don’t know.

The people who clear campsites just estimate weight of all they remove and label it all ‘trash that they cleared’… But it’s never is.

That’s like calling all the plants in my yard weeds, just cause you don’t like them.

My SO and I fill a 30L trash bag every two weeks, and our recycling is usually filled faster as there’s so much paper/cardboard packaging on everything, plus we favor food stuff sold in recycable containers.

Our recycling basically goes out every week, as the two bins are smaller than our trash can, but our trash can usually goes out less and with one or two bags in it… We’d wait, but it’s hot outside and we don’t want to leave it there boiling and rotting for weeks.

Actually, a lot of that sounds pretty practical.

The barrels would work as slow burn barrels for long term heat on cold nights, the bike parts could be a source of income (part bikes > full bikes to sell), more than 2 pans seems too many, but he may go through them fast if used over an open fire (depending on the type of pan), for millennia campers kept fires buring over night or for days to make cooking later easier (yes it’s risky in some situations, but practical in general), and covering his car would ensure it looked cleaner and required lower maintenance (both have a lot of perks for a homeless person trying to live cheaply and fly under the radar). I’m not sure about the tires, but keeping cans and some other materials can def provide a source of income.

Nothing is ever really disposable, except the abusive people in your life. We could all benefit from less of those. Everything else is reusable or recyclable. Just listing this guys possessions without explanations for them makes them easy to dismiss as trash, but that isn’t necessarily even close to honest. He likely had some actual waste on site from food prep or completed projects, but by no means was all his stuff trash.
