Yeah local stuff keeps me there. Even that’s getting worse, every local station/paper has 5-10 bots replying to every post with completely off topic right-wing stuff.

It’s still a good place to follow news. Shits getting bad though. Ads are way more intrusive than they used to be and it’s like 90% credit card scams or explicit white power stuff

So much of that forensics stuff is hokum. Or at least way less certain than it’s portrayed on tv or in court. Citations needed did an episode or 2 on i

Yeah town was founded around the Civil War and I suspect that has something to do with the way it is now. Had a brief klan revival in the 80s and 90s, and, given the size, hitting way above our weight for number of people arrested for january 6

Idk about moving state to state but I noticed people’s definition of “reasonable commuting distance” got a little bigger durring covid. Like I’ll do a longer drive if I’m doing it 2x a week instead of 5x. People that’d otherwise be in town or a blue suburb pushed a little farther into the exurbs.

I think a lot of people are racist tho so idk if that’s helping

No and it’s really dubious whether it works at all. In addition to the spurring breeding thing in the article, I’ve heard you’re really just shuffling them onto neighboring territory and making it your neighbors problem

Not sure about NY, by me at least the state environmental agency surveys populations and sets bag limits. For example there’s an area near me where they’re trying to encourage a specific rabbit population by maintaining a habitat so they encourage coyote hunting there. We don’t have tournaments like this though, if anything they’ll do a special season or allow hunting on a piece of public land they normally wouldn’t.

Having said that landowners can do pretty much whatever they want. You’re actually more restricted hunting for meat/pelts on your land than you are killing ‘nuisance’ animals; there’s seasons, bag limits, and reporting requirements if you keep the meat/pelt but not if you kill it as a pest

New England

I mean… Lotta squirrels and coyotes by me. Can eat a squirrel but I can’t bring myself to hunt coyote. Like even if I save the pelt then what? Not gunna eat it. I’m just leaving skinned dogs everywhere?

Small towns are rough man. People will run as both the dem and republican candidate in my town and you can’t vote in town meetings if you aren’t a property owner

I knew a lot of chefs that liked them

One time I wrote a desperate email to my English teacher. Let me do some extra credit anything to not take the class again. He corrected all my spelling and grammar mistakes, attached a picture of my attendance record, and told me to go fuck myself

I think it was mostly location data but yeah https://blogs.gwu.edu/ipdgcsmartpower/2012/12/09/ingress-gathering-data-through-gaming/

There used to be a mobile game that would have you go around and complete tasks to fill out the map (still might be idk). That’s pretty much what google did with ingress

Yesh the article I linked mentions a tiktok/meme that went around 2 years ago probably where I got it. Basically misinterprets companies getting pr with a tax writeoff

The sign up process is just too confusing for most people too. I tried evangelizing it when musk took over and that was everyones response. Need like a temporary instance for new accounts that you can transfer out of once you’ve got your sea legs

Rich people showing everyone how stupid they are is the only good part. Every other post and comment being an ad for a credit card scam or class action suit against antiwhite racism, and all the top comments from 1776whitepride1488 is what sucks

I think it depends how it’s being done. If they just collect the donation and hand it off it’s not helping them. Sometimes the fine print is that they’re donating a percent of sales or whatever so if you donate $5 on a $50 sale that might be a higher percentage than what they donate. Now that I’m reading about it I might be wrong https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-000329849244

1/4 of the force was doing it! Insane

There’s a little question mark that shows you formatting when you reply it takes you here it’s goes [text] (link) without the spaces

Listen. I am very lazy and i didn’t feel like looking for the right place to post it
