Me too....I bring bags with me and clean up places I hike / fish / camp....I try to leave places better than when I found it and it absolutely irks me when people can't be bothered to throw their own trash away.
I guess it wasn't clear that I think it's ridiculous that people can't even pick up their own trash.
Think it's a mentality as well.
Had a friend in high school and after the drive in we went to, I cleaned up my trash and threw it away. My friend said "why are you doing that, they pay people to do that" and proceeded to leave her trash.
Didn't stay friends, but who the f thinks that way?
Entitled Amerikkkans.... that's who.
Pick up your own trash.
Not other people's trash.
YOUR OWN.
Nope. Incorrect.
Racism: the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another
When a system oppresses you, no bootstraps to be had.
That's just another white supremacy myth meant to make it look like some people just don't try hard enough.

That will explain it. If you cared to do your own research instead of regurgitating the crap that's been spoonfed to you your whole life.
For now, I let it grow wild and mow it in certain areas because the grass grows so long and thick it's like a foot tall shag rug standing up. My dogs get lots in it and there's a ton of ticks if I don't.
I also already have wild strawberries, clovers, etc. and I'm happy for those to take over the yard. But I want to add patches / areas of native wild flowers eventually. Help the pollinators out some more.
There's a place, in my state, that sells native griund cover and even gives tips on how to 'kill' your yard and replace with native ground cover.
I also didn't specify, my backyard is all open and I've let that go completely. It's really fun to see how nature has taken it back.
Part of the front is fenced in, to keep the dogs safe, but that's the only part I do any mowing in, so I can see my pups when the grass grows too long.
Thanks for asking!
What do you do with yours?
Still get knocks on my door from companies wanting to help me with my yard.
No thanks.
Bunnies made homes in leaves, I get to watch a red-tailed hawk hunt in my backyard with their adolescent hawks, baby deer taking naps in the grass, the turtles still visit and have a places to lay their eggs (small pond on property), peeper frogs in the spring, lightning bugs like crazy in the summer, 3ft garder snake that suns in the bushes / front steps in the summer, birds have taken over the bushes and my dogs get to chase bunnies and watch the birds from the windows.
Besides this being a remenant of slave ownership, look how many slaves I have to keep my lawn perfectly manicured type thing, it's just another capitalist shit storm they sell you to keep you from seeing what's really going on and paying more for things that are ultimately killing you, us, everyone.
Oh, and I don't spend every waking fucking moment on the weekends, mowing, raking, moving specific nature into another spot, all for vanity's sake and to turn around and do it all over again.
Or go get gas, spill it filling up the lawn mower, further pollute the atmosphere etc., (my stuff is electric anyways).
So many benefits to this.
Take your time and energy back.
Stop fighting nature.
Let the planet live like it wants.
Like how I clearly said the article had been posted before without mentioning China, especially in the article itsef, never mind in the post? Which obviously shows it was more about the title of the post?
I bow to YOUR mental gymnastics and ignorance combined with brute confidence.
Tell me you don't know anything about anti racism without telling me you don't know anything about anti racism.
Read a book.
You'll sound less stupid (maybe).
But you don't think buying a Tesla, Tesla stock, makes you a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer so...
This is why we're in the state are in.
Poison thrown at the wrong people.
I'm not stealing your money, firing you, taking away your rights as a human being. I don't think you're a 'parasite'.
I'm not the 1%, neither are you.
Focus on the real enemy. Then things will get done.
"The cybertruck being held together by glue was not in my 2025 bingo cards" hahahaha
FYI they have an entire section where they explain the difference between the trailer weight and tongue weight; complete with a little toy car and trailer demonstration of when the weight would be transferred from the trailer to the tongue.
Also, he says you want 90% of the weight in the trailer, but there are circumstances where the weight is transferred directly to the tongue.
I've watched my father's back axel break, twice when towing. Once on his Jeep Wrangler and the other truck I forgot. First was towing a boat up a steep incline (an example used in the video cough cough) and the second on the highway with a double jet ski trailer, and two jet skis, when he went over a large pot hole on the highway (another axample in the video cough cough). He fully expected his vehicle, in any sense of the word, tow hitch included, to bear the weight of what he was towing btw. And no my father is not an idiot, at least in this regard. He would explain the difference of the weights and off setting things to the back of trailers blah blah blah all the time to me.
And to say, no one expects a thing to do the job that thing is made to do is a dumb comeback. Try that one on Belichik and see how it goes.
"Come on coach, no one expects me to be able to throw a football, that would be stupid!" 🙄
Buuuuuttttt you would know that if you watched the video instead of blindly reacting.
Also, what is the point of fighting this?? Being paid by Nazi car to say "nuh uh, it won't fall apart, that's a stupid test and those people are stupid...science is dumb!"
Seriously...what' the point.....
