That’s a good point! Ever since that happened, I’ve made sure to read on the bottle/label and it’ll tell you whether they say it’s okay to dishwash or not.

Though I feel most secure hand washing. Ironic as I just washed mine today lol.

This applies to metal ones too. While they won’t shrink, they can be damaged.

I put one of my metal water bottles in and it scraped up the sides quite a bit. Definitely was only meant for hand washing. Didn’t destroy it, but kind of ruined the nice finish it had.

My brother’s dog will literally tease you with the ball and I swear the little fucker smiles the whole time too.

“I got the ball. Oh you want to throw it so I can get it again? Nah, come chase me. Come on. Oh, you were so close, try again. Oh, too bad! Try again!” Until I look away and pretend to not be interested and then can snatch the ball away and throw it again.

It’s a fun time. I’m not complaining :) He’s a funny character.

Not everyone can. I installed Amazon Echo in our home with a smart thermostat specifically because my dad was blind and couldn’t get up to manually change the thermostat. Being able to change the temperature using his voice gave him so much freedom and independence and improved his morale.

This kind of technology is sometimes necessary.

Oh it goes deeper than that.

Check out their FAQ. They’re cool with the dehumanization of males too. They’re only advocating for “dehumanization” against females.

A game about torturing women? Unacceptable.

A game about torturing men? Acceptable 👍

They mention some bullshit about how one happens more often and the other doesn’t so that justifies being hypocrites.

He doesn’t come around too often unfortunately and when he does is when I’m at work. He’s leaving his vehicles there temporarily while he moves out of state so likely out of state and wing be back for a while.

Why I’m sure it’s him is that no one else goes into this property and this all coincidentally started after he began dropping off his cars.

But I am going to be coming by more often.

That logo made me think this was named Logics Pain +

Honestly I’m glad for progress too. But to me, it’s still not enough. I’m glad I didn’t get any comments about how little it was like I was thinking. I don’t care how little trash it is, I don’t want to see ANY of it! I think that’s what got me so enraged because I’ve been coming to this property for decades and never seen any amounts of trash and to see these straight up infuriated me.

I went to Iceland a few years ago and it was so clean. I couldn’t find one bit of trash anywhere, in any place of the country we visited. It made me feel sick to my stomach comparing it to my home where trash has become a literal part of the city streets. Gum and other spots and little bits of random trash fly around and it’s just another day for us.

I want so much better for our planet and society as a whole. It kills me being on a hiking trail and seeing the littlest bit of trash in the middle of nowhere. Takes me out of the experience and reminds me of the state of filth we live in and just feels so wrong to do to the one place where humans are not permanent, let alone our own neighborhoods.

I had no idea what it was like before my time, but it feels good to know we’ve gotten better about it, in some respects, especially judging by that picture. Glad we had people like you helping to make things better.

I thought about doing it to his cars since I don’t know where he lives. But I figured that might be just making it go back to where it came from, whether he gets mad and throws it somewhere else or it blows away. I’m not sure when he gets back too. He’s parking his cars here because he’s moving out of state and just wants to keep them here temporarily, so no idea when he’d get back to ensure he gets back his “lost property”.

Agreed, I couldn’t find a community named that accurately described my emotions. This will have to do.

I always remember the neon signs 99 Cents stores used to have saying “nothing over 99 cents ever!”

I wonder if that was intentional since OP hates copy pasting enough to equate with…something else that’s very distasteful online.

Yeah we do get those too, like “avoid downed power lines” which I can understand why they’d have ads for that, for public safety.

Just seemed weird to just tell people you exist when we have no choice but to have you. But other comments seem to provide good reasons for that.

Not in my area because I would take it in a heartbeat.

The only competition is solar, if you consider that a competitor. Other than that, you use them or you have no electricity.

Hmm…that’s an interesting point. They don’t claim to be a local entity, they’re known to operate for almost half of my state as a corporation. But where I see your point is that this may be a corporation trying to make their image feel more down to home. “We’re not like those other big, bad corporations. We’re your friends!”

I never thought of that before.

Not that I’m aware of. I’ve gotten letters like that for my trash collection and I think gas company, but nothing for the electric company.

Congratulations!

Shame you had to, but it’s always good news when David beats Goliath.

Same here. I remember BF3 days after work with my coworker.

It’s not been the same since those releases.

This organization is nuts.

This is from their FAQ:

Why don’t you include men in your mission statement? It’s not right to objectify men either.

A:

While both men and women can be sexualised, it is primarily women who are being objectified, and women who are far more likely to be negatively impacted by it as demonstrated earlier.

When men are sexualised in media and advertising, they are not typically demeaned, portrayed as decorative objects or posed as vulnerable and submissive in the ways that women are. Men are also rarely dismembered and presented as a collection of sexualised or individual body parts. Instead, men are depicted as hyper-masculine and strong. The sexualising and objectifying treatment of men may serve to enhance their power and status rather than to reduce it.

Having said that, we do not support ‘equal opportunity’ objectification. We encourage individuals to speak out against objectification including when men and boys are subjected to it.

I kept wondering why their focus was only on “girls, girls, girls” all over the place and everything was pink.

So media involving the dehumanization of men is totally cool with them. A game about raping men would be totally fine and no issues there because it’s not “typical”. Just don’t do anything to the girlys.

As if the sexualization of men doesn’t have a negative impact on men as a whole…telling men that the only way to be sexy is to be masculine and strong isn’t at all damaging to them? How does that make any bit of fucking sense? Not all men can live up to those unrealistic depictions with a 6 pack and big muscles nor should all men aspire to be that.

The fuck is wrong with these people…
