Unfortunately 24 hour libraries, or even late night, are pretty much non-existent now because 1) parents use them as babysitters and 2) nothing against homeless people but librarians aren’t equipped or staffed to take care of them appropriately.
And now with the book bans librarians are in short supply too, which means shorter hours and even fully closing on some weekdays.
Support your local library, everyone! See if there’s a “friends of” group. It’s a great way to connect with your community.
Just providing context. Not “blaming it on the town.”
I’m unfortunately very familiar with this town. It’s an industrial wasteland with no real job market and drugs are rampant.
This story is unfortunately not at all surprising.
The original subreddit was kind of a cesspool anyway. I witnessed men and women get bullied over trivial nonsense so much that I unsubbed from the original subreddit.
The judge who signed off on the search warrant also has 2 DUIs
God bless Firefox reader mode.
Good VPNs have adblockers.
Everyone on the Internet should have one now. Also a password generator.
Thanks for your response! If you light events with broadcast cameras, I am the annoying video engineer behind the camera controls asking about flicker and color balance. I hope they keep making y’all’s specialty bulbs. Looks like there’s a big list of exceptions!
I wonder if this will have any effect on the film industry…
Several cities, including Paris and Grenoble in France, São Paulo in Brazil, and Chennai in India have taken concrete steps in this direction. In São Paulo, ads are banned from certain parts of the city, and in Paris, they are prohibited near schools.
Several more cities are following suit, with a growing ad-free movement aiming to make cities a better place to live. ‘Adfree Cities,’ a UK-based nonprofit, is one such example. Cities such as Bristol, Birmingham, and Cardiff are part of its network, attempting to drastically reduce the amount of urban advertising
This is an excellent trend, and one that only lobbyists would fight against.
Since the online advert bubble seems to be bursting, I’m going to take that as a glimmer of hope. And until then, VPN maximus, ads be gone!

Wow… I’m new here so I’m still learning how all this works but I tried to apply to beehaw at first and they were having severe issues with their approval system so I either got denied or, most likely, got stuck in application purgatory.
Honestly, with how Lemmy is set up, it seems like it makes more sense to cater your instance to a more niche crowd than “all nice people” like beehaw was attempting to do.
Isn’t this one of the big reasons why the Florida apartment complex collapsed?
I started thinking about this yesterday too, after watching the Ask This Old House guys remove moss from a roof, explaining that it will retain water and shorten the life of the shingles. As some houses are prone to moss, you’d think we’d just figure out how to make a bio-roof. That seems like your step one to a veg-roof.
