Yeah, I need to remember if it was ginko or something else. I’m not the greatest rememberer, so I’ll go back and check the recording. Perhaps not natural meant not native, but I recall being surprised at the description. We shall see, always interesting.

Yeah, the complaining about spotify’s free tier is something I just don’t get. I grew up listening to the goddamn radio. No choice in what to listen to and ads all the time. But when your jam came on, it felt great every time.

I’m on a family plan with some friends. I’ve discovered a ton of new music because of Spotify. I’ve gone to many shows, bought merch, vinyls, for bands I never would’ve known had it not been for Spotify.

I’m just not sure what people want, but it reeks of entitlement. If you’re gonna pirate music, by all means, go to town. Nobody cares.

Yeah this is a big problem I see often. You have underground utilities? Tree planting becomes a huge thing. And in a lot of these walkable areas, places you’d want trees, folks tend to also prefer not to have the wires overhead with telephone poles everywhere, and so they’ve been backed into a corner.

I did just sit through a presentation by my local environmental commission where they addressed the issue. The solution seems to be trees bred for the specific environment: deciduous provides shade but doesn’t drop a lot of leaves; can grow tall but the root ball grows in a certain way so as not to interrupt sidewalks and utilities; hearty and resilient. I can’t recall the trees, but they were described as essentially not naturally occuring.

Dunno if your typo was intentional or not, but all I see in this thread is that somehow a typo is a way to bypass whatever block they have on discussion related to political figures. Which is bonkers. The great minds at the Goog somehow missed a pretty obvious workaround.

A tank with the maneuverability of a Porsche.

Yeah I was trying to shoehorn a joke that because I wrote it on Lemmy, it is now property of the Lemmy, but as I tend to do with most things in life, I half-assed it. Whole ass next time.

Any words you use on TripAdvisor are the property of TripAdvisor.

-Lemmy, apparently.

HOAs exist is a way toaintain shared services; i.e. insurances, utilities and roads, most importantly, but also things like clubhouses. Shit like this comes secondary.

Wait, you can secure SSDs and not just kinda push em in there?!

That’s only 30% of toes, unless we’re going by overall volume.

Right? It’s the basic test. I have come to terms that I’m really basically smart, but when things get more detailed I’m pretty regular.

I was so smart I became an 11 though, instead of perhaps a job with life skills, for a life other than LEO. No regrets though, made some lifelong friends, got stupid tattoos, visited some cool places, and I get $170 a month for tinnitus.

Do you have recycle and trash? It’s the way to go. I bag the trash but I dump the recycling into the large can outside and then reuse that dirty bag for garbage. I’m essentially saving the world.

Nice to know there are others out there! Great bins, unlike poor OP.

I will commiserate with you. I think the shape of that can is ultimately your issue. In fact, I know it is, I’ve seen that can and anytime I’ve seen it, the bag looks like yours. So you’re not alone.

As an aside, if you intend on joining the military, especially if you enlist, nobody cares about your ASVAB score, and if you wield it like a weapon, others will use it against you. I knew ASVAB waivers who had quick wit. I served with dudes who paraded around their conventional intelligence and had a tough time making friends, and only when they dropped the whole smart guy act did they fit in better.

Your post tickled my funny bone tonight. I wish you well and I hope you can “adapt and overcome” as it relates to this issue.

Think you nailed it. But then we can’t make jokes about this post anymore.

I love that you came here and I think everything you said is fair.

I love OP’s response though, this whole thread is hilarious.

I took my ASVAB in 2009, so unless it’s in my SRB somewhere, you’ll have to take my word for it.

I did upload a picture of my garbage though, that should be proof enough.

I knew some very intelligent individuals in the military. We were all enlisted and we all knew how to put a shit can liner in a shit can. And not one of us went around waving our ASVAB dick around.

Love a good old fashioned OP roast though.

So smart you joined the military.

I can say that because I was a 99 ASVAB and a dumb grunt.

Tinfoil never goes bad, it can’t hurt to stock up!!!

Right? Do you remember going to websites and your computer would yell out that you were watching porn? Ads would burst forth like you just won fucking Solitaire. Shit took forever to download, and if you lost connection in the middle, start over!

I guess if you started using the Internet after like 2008, when things really started to take off, you saw a golden hour. But it was a dangerous place in the early 2000s, although I learned a lot about how to unfuck computers in my quest for boobs as a teenager.
