I'm barely home myself. It just feels vaguely dystopian, the amount of control we're collectively giving to Google, apple, AZN, etc.

Honestly, the less Google is in my home, the better.

Just another way to let Google further into your home and habits. I'll stay manual, thanks.

Those gambling ones are disgusting to me. Straight up encouraging addictive behaviour.

Seemed to be the case for a while there. I saw a ton of these posted from cellphone cameras for a few weeks there.

Ah, fair point. I think it's all pointless. People really shouldn't need to be told to not use their phone while driving, but here we are.

I would love that! I think Maine has to a ban on them. They seem outdated as a means of advertisement anyway.

It's right there in the message, "attention grabbing". You should be able to process the info and move on without it being too much of a distraction.

Roadside signage shouldn't be entertainment. It should be utilitarian. I'm sure the DOT uses the same safe driving curriculum as UPS, and we're taught to "scan, not stare."

Now there's something we can FULLY agree on. Those lights are the worst. Non stop high beams.

As far as the signs go, I'll be honest, I'm pretty indifferent to them! I was bored at work, lol.

Lol, stop. It's cute, but roadside distractions shouldn't be a thing. Roads are already dangerous enough.

First time I've been called a Karen though. Kind of an interesting achievement.

Exactly what roadside shit SHOULDN'T do! Scan, don't stare! 101 of safe driving methods.

Either that or causing more people to handle their cellphone to grab social media clout points.

Like, some of them caused the issue they were warning against, based on the amount of pictures I've seen on Reddit and Facebook groups.

I was also there today looking for a meadowlark. No meadowlark and really no birds. Beautiful day tho. Nice shot!

Northeast NJ as well. Remote workers got tired of paying Manhattan rents and moved across the river. Rent was already out of control before that point.

I guess you could point towards the poor quality candidates they keep trying to throw at us. Not to sound like le enlightened centrist, but, it's really slim pickings and people on the right, and the left to an extent, seem to be voting for egos as opposed to policy.

It's kind of sad, but i think we all, red and blue, want substantial and meaningful change in the way the system is run.

I was picking up the Lonestars at Forsythe. Not sure if i picked up any in Cape May, probably dog ticks. But Forsythe was lousy with lonestars. No me gusta!

They dropped off hard after may in Sussex county. I did pick up a bunch of lone stars in Atlanic county this summer though.

Not so bad in the North. Drought is the antithesis to bad tick years.

Lol, they were one hell of a match for me back in 2010! Lyme so bad google told me I had HIV!

Good for him. Trump should be politically irrelevant this far out from his presidency.

Well, that's on tobacco companies to actually change the formula, so to speak. No reason a cig butt shouldn't be biodegradable. That goes for ALL single use plastic items. This tragedy of the commons is a grift to put all environmental concerns on the citizen, and not the multi billionaires that could actually do something meaningful.

Lol, what a nothing burger, smoking is already banned at almost all of these places already. If it's not, most smokers aren't bands of sociopaths. We mostly keep our smoke to ourselves.

Lol, we used train tracks for that. As a semi adult these days, i find these power cuts best used for birding and wildlife photography.

If we're guessing, I'm gonna say round valley area.

Lol, i like to think this is very dry humor and i salute you for it.
