The problem with this sort of worldview is that you have to be delusional enough to think other people will somehow be as considerate and rational as yourself
idc what you call yourself, the solution to someone smoking in a public place is not to call the cops. You deal with it for the 5 minutes they’re smoking or move cars, and pray we can work towards living in a high trust society. cops have killed over noise complaints.
@imfat Pretty common.
Regardless, 2200 is actually very high for a one bedroom/studio. If you’re trying to live in an expensive place you should probably be making good money.
Landlord doesn’t want tenants who can’t afford to live there
@giveashitnature Is the volume of insects affected by this ecologically significant or is the point just to avoid harming insects if it’s not necessary? Like is this affecting birds’ food supply in a meaningful way? The areas clear by blowers must be a small fraction of total green space

You just make it more dangerous for the people around you. So stop it lol. I promise it isn’t the least bit worth it.
@CyMorgComics Anti capitalists should consider that, even though they have other negative outcomes, free markets produce efficient systems. And also that, even if distasteful to you, the principles behind those systems might be applied to government operations to provide better outcomes
