I have always found the concept of littering bizzare. And not from a “do what is right” perspective.
“Do you not understand that it will be there basically your entire life, unless someone picks it up!? Every time you walk by, you will see that wrapper you just threw on the ground for months and years. You have pockets!”
Wait wait wait, are you telling me my actions have consequences?
Those people don’t even care about that. If it massed up in a pile outside their house, but not in an area they used, they’d walk right past it every morning. Plus (to them, anyway), that wrapper won’t be there, because of wind/rain/wildlife. It’s out of sight, out of mind for them, and fuck anyone who has it end up in their area.
How anyone could just litter is beyond me. I don’t get that mentality.
“Not my problem.”
It kind of explains a lot about the current and historical atrocities of the world at a micro level.
No, you’re just not a self-centered asshole.
People enjoyed and watched it would be the incredibly obvious answer
BAZINGA!!! (Hahahahaha)
I am superior to you

Yah but there is something deeply wrong happening here or perhaps you think it’s great
Yes binary thinker you’re correct
Ah! A rejoinder!
It’s a lot easier to stroke your own ego than it is to acknowledge that millions of people watched every episode live when it aired. Cry about it I guess? Or be smug? Whatever. https://screenrant.com/the-big-bang-theory-most-watched-seasons-ranked/
Probably my breaking point was the series premiere of Friends, and the girls in school I liked, liked that show, and I realized i should get better priorities with my romantic interests. But yes, my ego.
I enjoyed it. Watched it randomly on TV every time it happened to run, and even rewatched all seasons in order a few years ago.
I’m an autistic nerd, so their setting is interesting to me, and I find the parody of the nerd scene on point. The humor is enough to make me laugh, although not a masterpiece, so overall decent series to watch.
IT Crowd is geek culture done right; you laugh with them.
Big Bang Theiry is geek/nerd blackface; you laugh at them.
Marketing and hot women.
Explain what marketing tactic they used, that made the show last 12 seasons, but doesn’t work on 99% of other shows which get cancelled long before that
When I smoked cigarettes, I would roll the cherry off and stick the butt in my pocket and carry it until I saw a trash can. The cretins at my work who leave cig butts on the ground make me sick. I saw one drop his butt in a garden planter the other day. A trash can was ten feet away. Assholes.
I don’t smoke but I thought they were biodegradable. Can you put them in the regular trash? I thought it was a firehazard. Where I work there are ash trays next to all the trash cans. But thank you for not being a littering piece of shit. I take bottles home and recycle them instead of throwing them away at work. People seem to think its bizzare.
I thought they were biodegradable
Definitely not, the filters are plastic. Joint butts will generally be biodegradable though, as paper/cardboard filters are more common there.
Putting a lit butt into a regular trash can is a fire hazard, but as long as you put it out first it’s fine
I do this, but that doesn’t make me a gentleman. It’s just that people who litter are absolute fucking savages. Raised by wolves. Complete anarchists.
I’m always amazed that people actually throw stuff into the ground. Like why? There’s enough trashcan and is it really bad enough to take up your hands for you to even consider the possibility to throw it into the ground?
I was on the bus the other day and watched someone unpack an entire mcdonald’s haul and systematically put all the trash on the ground by their feet, kick it into the aisle, put the unwrapped food back in the bag, then stepped on the trash to leave one stop after they got on. Humans are amazing
People making tiny inconveniences for themselves instead of imposing them on everyone else is the essence of civilization.
Something something when old men plant trees whose shade they knew they won’t sit in
Such a simple quote, yet so much wisdom.
I hate the Big Bang Theory. Autistic people are the punchline.
I’m autistic and I like the big bang theory.
In sitcoms, everything is the punchline. That’s sort of the point of them. They take things to extremes for the sake of humor. I find shit like Good Doctor to be way more fucking insulting than an exaggeration of me and my friends. I can 100% be Sheldon at times, especially when it comes to Star Trek.
Autism and nerdculture isn’t the punchline. Everyone who worked on the show was nerdy as hell. It’s the set up. The punchline is stereotype.
I do think some of the jokes are a little (or very) questionable, but it’s rarely the ones targeting nerds. I’m also autistic and also like it, even if it’s far from perfect.
People living in Japan nod in agreement. On the surface, the lack of public trashcans is an anti-terrorism measure in the wake of the sarin gas attacks and other domestic and international terrorism. In reality, it’s probably also a cost-cutting measure for the fixtures and their maintenance.
Yeah I do this too and my pockets are smelly but it’s great to empty my pockets at the end of the day and find pretty rocks and oddly configured screws
This is what my back right pocket was intended for.
I love doing this, because two/three days later when I do laundry I find what I’ve been doing for the last few days as if I had kept a journal.
