When the garbage can/bag is full, don't STACK garbage on top of it. Take it out and replace the bag!

It's amazing how few people understand this. I once did part time work at a festival which involved cleaning bins. It wasn't a large area, and we had around 11 bins in total, yet every single person would place their rubbish on top of the overloaded bin (usually causing it to fall on the ground) just because it was the closest one to the food stalls.

I hate going for walks and seeing LITTER on the ground. Somebody went out their way to just haphazardly throw or drop a bottle out their car window. Not even just scraps of paper or wrappings (unless it's in your yard), but bottles, boxes, plastic.

That’s on you for not emptying the bins quickly enough.

I read my local Nextdoor but don't post. The amount of animal related retardation is astounding. Lady's year old female cat got out. People ask if she's spayed. No. She's not.

Well with kitten season starting earlier every year due to climate change I think I know what happened here. This poor cat is gonna come home pregnant. I hope the owner has the sense to get her spayed ASAP. We have low cost spay/neuter here and a chip is only $15. If my poor ass can do it for two cats then anyone can.

There's another woman who keeps trying to sell pitbull puppies for an "adoption fee". With the shelter at capacity for dogs and waving fees to try to save as many as possible this woman is getting righteously dragged in the comments for contributing to the problem. People get these puppies and dump them when they get big and the novelty wears off. Then they end up in shelters, often with trust issues. It's an endless cycle. These puppies are doomed and the mama dog is nothing more than a miserable brood mare. It's so sad.

This other woman was selling shih tzu puppies for $1000. Comments are full of people saying there's been a lot of scams like this. Others are blasting her for breeding dogs when the shelters are full.

Some dog foster gave away the dog she was fostering and refused to tell the shelter who she gave the dog to until the police got involved. Her reason was that the dog didn't like her cat. I'm sure the whole fostering process was explained to her and she just gave the dog to some bozo anyway. They got the dog back. I assume that she's never fostering again. I hope so.

Some woman rescued a cat that her neighbor was using to breed kittens. He tossed her out when he was done with her and was annoyed that she kept trying to get back in. The lady got the guy to lure the cat out of hiding by using one of her kittens. Really sad. People in the comments saying the shelters are full and kitten season is starting. There's no reason to breed cats.

Some woman is trying to give away a bonded pair of guinea pigs because her daughter "outgrew them". Yeah. You don't outgrow pets. They aren't toys and instead of trying to give them away to God knows who she should be teaching her daughter better than this.

People like this should not have animals. It's so depressing to read this stuff.

I hate pitbulls with a passion. Who thought it was a good idea to have an animal that can indiscriminately maul your face as a pet? Then these same owners would be Pikachu surprised when their precious pitbull DOES maul somebody alive. They should be illegal to domesticate as pets.

Nah they just make a facebook post about how there’s no bad breeds, only bad owners.

Website's April Fool's Day pranks. No, this isn't a shot at anyone in particular(the ones on the Farms are at least mostly avoidable or clever), I'm just dog tired of them. Oh wow, you changed your layout and put up a post claiming you're going to sell the site to Chechnyan separatists or TERFs or whatever? Wowie zowie so heckin' funny dude. Take my upboat, kind sir. Such a knee slapper. Well meme'd, my friend. Now kindly change your dumb fucking site back to its normal functionality, thank you very much. I love half the internet being rendered unusable by autistic webdevs making the same 3 jokes bros, you don't even know.

This is not about you but why is it always butcher?

Why, whenever someone mispronounces a word or a name, or they do a little disclaimer before saying it because they know they won't get it, why does everyone say "butcher"?

"Apologies in advance because I'm probably gonna butcher these Japanese names"

Why butcher so specifically? Why not "you messed up that French word", why not "I'll probably say them wrong", "he botched that pronunciation"? No, it's always fucking butcher.

And I don't know why, but it butchers my gears.

It's probably a subconscious understanding of the practice of language destruction and reconstruction which constitutes linguistic evolution and the English language having its own special ability to do so.

This is not about you but why is it always butcher?

I get it's an expression for it but why does everyone use only that one. Bothers me.

You provided three alternatives:

• Messed up
• Say wrong
• botched.

I’ve probably heard all of these being used. While butcher is definitely the most common, and people should avoid using tired old phrases, I don’t think it’s clichéd.
It’s also an apt word to use most of the time. Mess up and say wrong encompass the whole gamut of errors, while only botch and butcher focus more narrowly on major errors (like when Xi Jinping is called President Jje by retarded journalists). Butcher is more loaded which makes it the best word of choice for describing our own errors. Because it’s more loaded, it’s more natural to (symbolically) self-flagellate using butcher, rather than botch.

April Fool's falls on one fundamental fact: the vast majority of people aren't funny. Most of the time it's not even a prank. It's "hurr I lied to someone who trusted me and they fell for it! April Fool's!"

I fucking hate April Fool's. Why is it even a thing?

Maybe you're just getting old.

I currently don't have anything to complain about. It'll come to me though.

The ones that bug me more is for a community or a creator of some kind going "Hey, remember that thing you've been asking for for years? It's finally available now, here you go! Oh, wait, April Fool's!" whether it's a new game or some sort of addition that's been clamored for or something of that nature. Hard to think of an explicit example off the top of my head.

The guinea pig lady is now verbally abusing anyone who is telling her off for trying to pawn off animals her daughter "outgrew". There are rescues that deal with small animals. She should contact the shelter about it. They just did a guinea pig event.

The lady that lost her unspayed female cay got it back. Hope she gets her spayed or she's in for a surprised in a couple months.

That's the type of dogs you usually see around here. The breeding is out of control. It's a quick way to make money. There's a house not far from here that I think may have been reported. They suddenly tarped their fence and put up a camera. They always have puppies. The blue pitbulls are popular around here now. Before they didn't care if you saw them in the yard. Now suddenly they're all paranoid. No matter how many times animals get removed from these places they always end up making more puppies.

My friend sent me a meme about those conjoined twins. and asked "Which one you think feels it in their ass and which one feels it in the gussy?"

I sent him a message just saying "Gussy?" and he replied "You know, girl pussy."

I felt so much disgust and had to remind him that there isn't "Girl Pussy" there is just "Pussy"

I swear tiktok brain rot is ruining everyone, not just Zoomers.

Asap was 2 days ago now, so I'll take my business elsewhere. Customer care is truly dead.

Because so many businesses - especially large corporations - see customers as expendable and little more than dollar signs on a financial statement, customer service is often little more than an afterthought at best.

I had a similar experience where I set up an account at a company only to have their online system insist they had no information about my account when I was ready to give them my first order. I instead gave the business to the company that's given me dependable service over the years and recently took the time to help me with an issue placing an online order.

Thread tax: The fact prices on everything will likely rise because of the Baltimore bridge accident - even those items that don't come through that port.

Every single Nintendo console that runs on rechargeable battery can't run without battery, even when plugged in.

Also over time, lithium ion batteries can lose charging capacity, and can even swell and become like mini bombs.

I hate how there's a DAY for everything nowadays. Like, for April 2nd, there's "national PB&J DAY!" Like, look, if I'm not off work or receiving holiday pay, it's not a holiday to me.
