  • Leaves get raked. Weeds get removed or I wouldn’t have grass (weeds would over take the grass). The grass is not one type of grass, it’s multiple types. It’s better that way. Survives winter in Minnesota,US. As for bugs… honestly I’m not sure what you mean by that. I’m not sure how you’d get rid of bugs in general. My bushes … those I do pay attention to certain types of bugs that will destroy the bush. Those bugs I get rid of, or I wouldn’t have a plant. But bugs in general yeah not sure how you get rid of them.

    Driving on the grass that would piss me off. But walk and run on it all you want.


  • Yes, it is actually possible in the United States to start up a small business and actually make money. Now how much money is always the question. Some of that comes down to luck. Some that comes down to just having a really good idea. I just started a business not too long ago. Actually now that I think about it. It’s probably about four years ago. But nonetheless, I’ve made some money on it. Not as much as I would want. Part of that is actually my fault for not working on it as hard as I should’ve. There are plenty of options in the United States to make money. At the risk of oversimplifying it it’s pretty much just a case of pick something. No, where did I get the money from.? Simple I’d save up over a number of years and I use that as the start up capital. No, I did not have millions of dollars to start. I didn’t even have $100,000 to start. I think honestly I had about $50,000 cash to start.



  • The reasons why so many people hate it. Are lengthy.

    A big one is we see jobs already being eliminated. And people like to live in this fantasyland that oh there’ll be new jobs created. But anybody who has studied history, realizes that that’s not going to happen in this case.

    For example, when we switched from horse and buggy to motorized vehicles,. The people built the buggies they could be cross trained to build the vehicles. Jobs were created.

    When we switched from the mechanical typewriter to the electronic typewriter that was easy cross train. When we moved away from the electronic typewriter to a computer, there were jobs created.

    Here’s the problem that we run into. Let’s just look at accounting. Many jobs in the accounting field can be done by a properly trained AI system. Most data entry jobs can be done by AI. Many programming jobs are being handed off to AI. You were seeing this across all industries. Whereare the jobs going to be actually created at?

    There are some data entry jobs to program AI. But those are minimum wage jobs at best.

    As AI becomes better and better, they will be able to take more and more jobs.

    We are already seeing AI being used to create music. There goes a lot of musicians jobs. There a goes a lot of songwriting jobs.

    This is becoming a very large problem. Because you will still have the same number of people looking for work, but you’ll have less jobs. That means the pay for said jobs will drop drastically. Supply and demand.

    The people who truly believe there will be magically new jobs created as far as I’m concerned or absolutely delusional.

    Another big problem is it limits human interaction. I know there’s a lot of people that don’t want to talk to anybody, but here’s the reality. Humans are social creatures. As we become More and more isolated, It becomes harder for us to sympathize and empathize with other people. That makes it easier to create divisions between people. Trust me, the governments will absolutely use that to their benefit.






  • What can you do? Hypothetically you take each one of them aside and you force them to tell you what she’s been saying about you. And then somehow demonstrate that she is lying.

    Now that’s hypothetically.

    Realistically, there’s no way that they will want to change their mind anyway. Unless you have some really solid proof that you didn’t do it. And ans anybody can tell you , trying to prove a negative is almost impossible.

    So that means realistically, there is really nothing you can do about it. I mean, you can catch a couple of them when they’re alone. And try to find out what She said. But if they’ve already bought into the bullshit from her then what do you do?. I don’t really see a way back from that.

    By the way, I’m going on the basis of she’s lying and that she falsely accused you. As I only have your comment in the other post where you said she falsely accused. I have no way to know what did or did not happen. I’m just giving you information based on what I have. All I can say is good luck and try to move forward. Only you would know if you’d be able to approach those people and have a chance of sitting down and making them listen.

    Public transport. Doesn’t really exist in this area

    Use a bike: works great unless you are older or there are no safe places to ride or both

    Use your feet… it’s 5 miles to get to the hardware store, 4 miles to get to the grocery store, 6 miles to get to work. How is that going to work in sub zero temps or when it’s raining

    Get an ev . They are expensive and I can barely keep my car on the road.
