For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I gotta say that as someone who worked retail for several years, it was really embarrassing all the hero worship for "essential workers" at the beginning of the pandemic. Also, saw it coming a mile away that people pretty quickly went right back to treating them like poo poo and not giving a gently caress about them.

gently caress. One package from Costco will last me 4-6 months. You don't need to pull 2 full carts of toilet paper stacked up on it for a family of 5 like I saw some people struggling with before they put limits on them. It's pure selfishness and panic. It hurts other people.

I'm a chronic masturbator. I go through about a cart a week. I don't need your judgment thank you.

Birthbath carnage question. EDIT: It is a crow, just caught it in the act. Do they ever come back for their softened food? This one doesn't seem to.

Hello. I have had a birdbath for 10+ years. It is quite the attraction and I have seen 30+ kinds of birds visiting. A few weeks ago, I started seeing "food" in the birdbath - either smaller bird parts or big chunks of bread, or, like today BOTH at the same time. At all times of day. And, considering how often I sit outside of just pop in and out, I am surprised I have never seen who is doing it. Any guesses? I was thinking a raptor, but bread. Maybe a raven? I have seen them coming around and hadn't before.

To me it is both an interesting mystery and an annoyance as I have to keep dumping and refilling the bird bath.
?

Horrifying.

The crows at my place will drop literally anything I feed them directly into the birdbath. I've also found everything from earthworms to a full dead mole in there before. I have to clean it at least once a day.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. OK guys so I heard today was the last day to do your taxes and i Tend to procrastinate until the last moment when it comes to anything paperwork, I get super anxious when it comes to this stuff, It’s just not my cup of tea. So last year I worked for several restaurants, publix and the last couple months of 2020 i worked for Point Blanche Movers (who im still with to this day). in the past I’ve never had problems doing my taxes on TurboTax but this is the first time I’ve had to include a 1099 because for some reason (Insurance reasons) The company I work for (Point Blanche Movers) doesn’t want to ensure us even though it’s a dangerous job, so now I’m left with a 1099 in which I have no idea what I’m dealing with when it comes to taxes. what I do know is, is that I’ll OWE money to the IRS For the work I did for Point Blanche Movers in 2020 😢 i would much rather prefer go to an office somewhere and have a professional help me get the biggest return possible because I don’t want to totally screw myself when it comes to this 1099. If anyone could help me out with recommendations for anywhere nearby that would be fantastic. I specifically took today off work so I could get this done and I still managed to procrastinate the first half of the day. Someone help me please this is so nerve-racking for me.

Vandalism at the Park. I smelled fresh spray paint in the southeast bathroom in the Park, when I left the bathroom 3 young boys were running to the forest. The day and time of the incident was May 16, 2021 at 4 PM. I can only describe in detail one of the boys because he was a bit unusual in having brown curly hair. If you know these boys, it would be great if you could get their parents' help in contacting the Parks Department to help with the clean-up. Yes I did call the police at the time of the incident, however I do not have pictures of the boys. I have reported this information to the police.

However, if you look at the photographs below, you will see a park in _______. Also there is a picture of a dead, half decayed coyote. Said coyote has been dead and rotting on the road across from that park in _____ for TWO MONTHS!!!! I have made approximately a dozen phone calls to the Village, the Police Department, Animal Control, the Public Works Department, the mayor's office, AND the most recently _____ Township. Melanie from _____ Township called me back to inform me that location is not the "townships" responsibility. I should contact the state police.

Look, there is a dead, decaying corpse on the road across from a park where children play. I have spent two months trying to get ANYBODY to clean it up!!! I live in ______ for Christ's Sake!!!! All of the people I have contacted have essentially told me "Not my job, not my problem."

Meanwhile, kids are killing themselves because of forced isolation from lack of interaction with friends and peers. The economy has been crippled by a global pandemic, I can't go anywhere without a mask on, there were critical shortages of toilet paper and sanitizer a year ago, AND YET EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY I HAVE CALLED WON'T CLEAN UP THE ROTTING DEAD FLESH FROM NEXT TO THE PARK!!!!!

Has the world lost it's collective mind, or is it me????

I've had friends find out the hard way that if a deer dies on your property the city response is pretty much "sucks to be you." Even if this was an animal corpse, it's not even on her property.

Oh, and my friends figured out the cheat code for dealing with the deer was to surreptitiously help it into the street, where it did get collected.

Lately here it’s been a spate of people thinking the gas company is a scam because they are asking to read the meter .

I should convince them they want to come and spin the needles forward like an odometer to profit , and that everyone should measure their gas meters.

Actually I shouldn’t engage with the general public at all.

Blue Gang In Our Neighborhood. Hi Neoghbors, Walking down the block tonight (just corner store), I ran into FIVE spider webs strands. Earlier I saw a suspicious young (30s medium height) woman in a blue ball cap with a blue bag casually looking through mail boxes on our street... I challenged her through my den window (not about to get knifed) but she ignored me and scurried off to next house. I didn't think about it, but This matches up with the locations of the spiders webs... looks like we have some "blue" gang activity going on to release spider pollution in Our neighborhood. To reduce property values so they can "move in".....I have heard about this before, not about to lie down and let it happen here. Becareful please...

Everyone knows random spider web threads reduce your property valued by tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars so the Crips can move in with their blue baseball hats.

thats how the post office opens new locations, by spreading spiderwebs and lowering property values, then purchasing it. The post office is perpetually broke, how else do you expect them to do it?

People like this are why I had to assert dominance over the neighborhood raccoons at a previous residence. They had figured out people were scared of them, so kind of ran rampant around the neighborhood. A bunch of them came in through my cat door and I was forced to disabuse them of the notion that everyone was scared of them with the aid of a cricket bat.

I should clarify that no raccoons were harmed in my asserting dominance. Stepping up on them and menacing them was sufficient to make them realize that maybe I was the wrong house to visit.

The filming is scheduled for Monday afternoon. Please email me if you might be interested and I can provide more info.
