Was supposed to be travelling to Japan this Friday with Alex........Via Doha.

We are not now......

[sabergirl]

Geez. Probably for the best to avoid that part of the world at the moment. Sorry your trip got disrupted.

[nurunuru]

Iran..?

I damn near sprinted.

Recent world events have exposed pathological aggression, greed, megalomania, and a low level of culture in people. Every little king is a Napoleon. What's stopping us from living and communicating harmoniously? Buying jeans from each other and wearing them together. Visiting friends and drinking tea. Politics is a gathering of scoundrels.

Good words @Walery-Smirnoff.

Not to make light of your post, but I think A Gathering of Scoundrels is an excellent name for a metal festival

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Bridger I haven't been to a rock concert in seven years. The last band to come to us was Nazareth, in 2019. Then came this damned COVID, and then a small war of madmen.

[Bridger]

Let's hope this shitshow ends soon @Walery-Smirnoff and you can get back to rockin' my friend.

[Walery Smirnoff]

@Bridger Music is always with me. By the way, until they cut off our internet, I listen to American and English music on the radio. Local music makes me sick.

[nurunuru]

I have a plan to reduce public littering by 90%.

Ban dogs in public.
Outlaw Fireball miniatures.

Done.

And flossers.

@nurunuru individuals that don't pick up their dogs shit really pisses me off, I live beside a park and there's about 3-4 dog bins, still get idiots that don't do it...

[tenuin]

@Jord as dog owner, I agree completely. It's infuriating how inconsiderate some dog owners are..

Walking in the park in autumn you can play a round of a particularly fun game I like to call "where's the pile of shit hiding in between all those leaves".

The worst thing is that not picking up the poop is self-defeating.. I am convinced that dog owners are disproportionately likely to step into poop because their dogs are drawn to it

[mclaincausey]

I hate it when people leave bagged dog shit on the trail to “pick it up on the way back.”

Still litter, and you’ve only made it worse by littering turds AND a plastic bag. It is still an ugly bag of shit passers-by have to look at until you MAYBE pick it up later.

It’s not hard to pack it out. The dog can carry the bagged poop in saddle bags, for instance.

If you can’t clean up public spaces from your dog’s poop, you don’t deserve a dog.

I feel all this in my bones and our neighborhood has way too many dog poo villains. It’s gotten so bad a lot of neighbors have put up little yard signs asking for you to clean up after your dog. Embarrassing

[Bridger]

You guys should avoid visiting France...

[Brian]

Every park here and most main streets where I live have dog litter bags on a roll that can be used so we don’t really have much poop that’s left on the floor

[Matt]

That’s adorable. People here don’t neglect their dogs poop because they don’t have bags. It’s because they’re all pricks. When the ground was covered in snow and ice for two weeks it looked like a dog shit apocalypse out there.

[Brian]

What’s this snow and ice you speak of?

[Giles]

I reserve my most vitriolic ire for the upstanding citizens who deposit their shit bags over the wall into our garden.....
