And in many areas it's actually illegal to let your yard grow wild. I live in a place that used to be beautiful tallgrass prairie and it all got bulldozed for pavement and non native sod. Grass has to be clipped to under a couple inches so you're breaking the law if you want to grow native sweetgrass. It's bonkers

Assuming there's any rationale behind banning sweetgrass at all, it's probably because it contains [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coumarin] which is very closely related to medical anti-coagulants like warfarin. Coumarin was prohibited by the FDA from being used in food until 2010, which is why Zubrowka vodka couldn't be legally imported in the US until the same year since it's flavored with sweetgrass.

None of that has much if any bearing on the fact that lawns suck.

That's hilarious, I remember being lectured by a teacher in junior high, around 1995 or so, about how us kids are the new Generation Y because the world will be completely different when we turn into adults and life will just keep getting easier and we'll never have to know the hardships that our older siblings went through and now in hindsight I'm really Lol-ing hard at that. They really had high hopes about the future in the 90s.

Boomers seem to believe this is what really happened, that we really do have it good and anyone who complains is just ungrateful.

Gas powered leaf blowers are terrible for the environment.

Also (and I'm speaking from several years' professional experience) basically the worst/slowest/most expensive/most inefficient way to remove leaves from the ground in Autumn in about 100% of cases where they're used.

e: Which should go without saying. Imagine you drop a shitload of corn flakes all over the floor in your kitchen. Do you:

a) scoop them up with a dustpan and brush/broom
b) hoover them the gently caress up
c) START BLOWING THEM AROUND LIKE A loving MANIAC

I wish game developers would learn that a game should be big enough to adequately showcase their gameplay, and no more, instead of colossal, empty and repetitive.

If I get to the end and am desperate for more, I can play it again. Or buy your DLC or sequels. If I'm exhausted by the size of the game, I'll think less of it and I'll certainly not buy any more.

The panhandle (northern part) does, but that's essentially Lower Georgia. South Florida 'autumn' is essentially "the temperature dipped below 75, time to bring out our single sweatshirt for a few days ah gently caress now it's hot again"

Yeah, it's probably one of the best zombie games made as it's a more of a "gently caress this, run away" sort of approach that rewards stealth and creative tactics than just killing everything.

Dying light committed the cardinal sin of having an easily done glitch to max out an item patched out. It was a ton of fun multiplying a ton of the supply drops to max out your character stats immediately and running around with unlimited exploding shurikens but they were like no, no fun allowed in this game

person who's job includes leaf blowing: usually cool, part of the job, stops blowing for a long as time as you walk by
