Yeah I guess that tidbit was added in later by OP when people started asking questions.

The cafe has bins. OP amended the post admitting that they do. The bins are inside, but either way, they do exist.

Yeah but the Cafe does have bins inside. It’s just the park that removed the public waste bins.

Littering used to be illegal most places. It should be illegal pretty much every public place. If you’re breaking the law, you’re criminalizing yourself. This is like saying we shouldn’t resurface roads because it criminalizes speeders.

And they should be fined for dumping.

Or, **I love you, send me naked pictures and I’ll send you naked pictures and then “my father” will find out and contact you to extort money from you for sending and receiving underaged porn images and if you don’t send money they’ll report you to the police. **

I had seen posts like this circulating before so I tried to track them down:

Some of these posts suggest they are using the pictures of someone else on purpose. Some say they’re a bot. I personally haven’t gotten these messages but I don’t get DM’s so that’s probably why. I’m pretty positive this is some kind of Honeypot scam. Either way I wouldn’t trust it.

Jack Black. Next question.

Didn’t know this was a thing. Can’t remember the last time I bought anything from Starbucks. But it’s dumb and wasteful of people’s time, including baristas.

There are not mere allegations. He is screaming it on every social media he has. He is literally labeling himself as a Nazi and screaming (all caps) racist nonsense every chance he gets online and in interviews. This same guy was trying to buy Parler.

Everyone keeps saying lots of people don’t know, but I don’t even follow West and long ago purged his music from my library and I see it all the time on the internet.

The problem I have is he does not divorce who he was from who he is now in this way. The memes (and literally any post written about him or that mentions him) inflate his ego and feed his sense of self worth. That’s the problem with meming him.

More recent posts show him in a bad light and obviously hurt his feelings. But posts like this feed his ego and I don’t agree with that.

It looks like the wealthy friend flew instead of driving down or taking the bus down with their friends. They’re upset because it’s just more useless pollution and a loss of time that the friend group could have spent together having a good experience.

What does your mom say?

Having never used the air B&B app or website I don’t know if there is an option that differentiates the two.

When you buy a hotel room, don’t you vet the room to make sure it’s what you want? Same applies here. If you contact them I’m sure they’d happily explain the accommodations. If not, give them a bad review and move on.

Yeah. I don’t disagree with that. But I think it’s rather more about (from what I can see in the original comment) not the techcrunch media coverage, but the idea that techcrunch runs lots of articles about meta and Facebook, not all of them aimed at the problems with the platform and there is no cohesion (in each of these posts), explaining each time they have before given info on leaving Facebook and the important events that lead them to do so.

The article doesn’t really start off with a “haven’t we been here before”, or anything acknowledging what came before. Perhaps that’s their complaint.

The Cambridge Analytica thing happened in 2018. I think the point is that Facebook has been a bad platform for awhile now and these recent articles don’t do justice to their history and appear extremely inflammatory as a result.

People who go to prison are more likely to re-offend by an exorbitant rate in America. This is because the system is set up to make them fail. Do you want to be the change in the world you want to see or do you want to set people up to fail by making the entire topic completely one-sided and vilifying everyone involved.

Do you want a solutions based conversation or an emotionally supportive one. Because my point isn’t about the recidivism rates of cheaters but about the fact that labels hurt any and all conversations involving them by smothering the flow of conversation. Meaning someone who is in a situation that might lead to cheating will not seek or is not likely to get advice that would mitigate such behavior.

This is a great slogan but it’s not an absolute. It’s definitively based on an emotional response to a feeling of betrayal, and while I can agree that it’s likely in most scenarios, I really do wish people wouldn’t just spout it as if it is a defining characteristic of every cheating party in history.
