  • Thank you for doing that - you quite literally saved her life! A friend of a friend got overserved while underage at a bar in our small hometown, got kicked out of the bar, and froze to death walking home in -30°F weather. The bar was not held accountable for any of it. I wish someone had stopped and helped him out, it would’ve saved his life.

    Yeah this causes “fatbergs” which wreak havoc on city pipes. I get frustrated when I see memes like this condoning willful property damage bc not only is it stupid and it hurts other people besides the landlord, but even if the landlord has to shoulder costly repairs for plumbing inside their unit, they’re definitely going to pass those costs on to their tenants (either immediately or over time) so this could also contribute to rent hikes.

    I grew up in the country with an in-ground swimming pool that we heated with a solar cover. When the cover was retracted/rolled up Bullsnakes would hide inside. There were quite a few times when they’d hastily slither out unexpectedly, and I’ve been pretty freaked out by snakes ever since.
