I'm not the type to go camping. But if I did, I know enough not to leave my fire burning all night, leave food uncovered (preferably in a container that can seal so as not to attract bears, wolves, coyotes, etc) and I certainly know not to leave trash behind when I am done.
These are rules you should follow no matter what you do. Picnic or camping, doesn't matter. Stop leaving your trash and shit all over the place, you uncivilized scumbags!
@AskTheDevil oh, I know. I am not completely negative about social media, but giant corporations with intentions to profit from our data has corrupted the original intent of social media.
@Razdawg22 I like CoSo and the Misskey/Sharkey servers. I also miss chat rooms. Not the big ass ones on Discord, but the smaller more local ones.
@redenigma yes, it would, but since the parties control what gets implemented…
I am powerless to stop Russia. I am powerless to stop the Middle Eastern conflicts. I am powerless to stop anti-semites, homophobes, and bigots.
I am, however, not powerless to vote for people who will exert the power needed to help end these horrors.
My power is my vote. I intend to exhort that power at every election, no matter how small, because elections, even the smallest of them, have consequences.
It really is tiresome that we seem to be stuck with this two party system. Such a system eventually leads to a lot of extremism on both ends and incalcitrant attitudes that don’t allow for any meaningful debate or action.
Parliamentary system may sometimes crumble, but they are designed to allow the government to be rebuilt. This mess we have doesn’t.
@sfleetucker Maybe, but I do have problems with some of the extreme wokeness.
@sfleetucker Not It Gets Batter?
@Beanc there really need to be public coffee fountains for emergencies
@Bix but who is the side of beef standing next to him?
I’m a little gay, a little pagan, a little Puerto Rican, a little multi-lingual, and all human! Verified by my Mom.
