Reposting this because I saw one person have a take I disagreed with

Or at the very least, don't use it in the early morning on a weekend. "Early bird gets the worm" fuck you you've gotten the weekday we all have to slave away at 8 in the morning despite our circadian rhythm, let me have two days were I don't have to wake up at 7 in the morning.

I regret not getting an electric mower. Definitely will when the next time comes. I got all electric for everything else. I picked up a bunch of dewalt outdoor stuff during some sale years ago because I was in "battery ecosystem" with their drill and impact driver. I was highly skeptical, but i got the trimmer (use it for edging too if I give enough shits... which is like once a year) and it's literally better than any gas powered trimmer I ever used for my parents as a kid. Those pieces of shit spewing burned oil in your mouth... this thing is nearly silent except when it's chopping the shit out grass. I have some of 2A batteries and one of them is enough for me to get all the way around my fence and other places. I got like a small tree branch/bush trimmer too which works great for the intended purpose... don't try to cut down saplings though... I got an electric leaf blower to clean dirt and grass clippings from my walking areas. It's definitely loud as fuck but still not nearly as loud as a gas engine. Still just as powerful.

That's what honestly surprised me because I had little experience with electric replacements for traditionally 2 stroke lawn stuff. I expected it all to kinda work but mostly just be frustrating and it's really not. So when the mower starts shitting its ass I'll have to do some digging and find a good electric replacement and be done with small engines forever hopefully. Not to convince the "pros" who have riding mowers the size or a small car just to mow lawns the same size as mine... at 8am, on a Saturday. Shit like that really makes me understand Rand Paul's neighbor and that whole incident.

I can practically guarantee those large riding mowers could be converted to electric. But then the issue would be converting the overcompensating suburban lawn care company owner (not the poor asshole cutting grass in full sun all day) to electric because it's "gay and for pussies." That's the general response or vibe I get when I tell people I'm planning on covering my roof in solar panels. One guy literally said "you're into that... solar stuff, huh?" Like a Hank Hill response. "I sell non renewable produced electricity and non renewable electricity accessories... That's how you can know I ain't gay." I always have to tell people like "why do you give a shit what produces the energy? It's cheaper and you don't have to be cucked to an uncontrollable unregulated electric company." "Yeah, but solar sounds gay... and Chinese..."

This is more of a systemic critique than individual. I also have to mow my lawn, etc. Having wild growing grass and weeds everywhere would also suck. Ideally, I suppose, you bulldoze all this shit away, build high density, high quality apartments where people all have private areas without disturbing or disturbed. And there would be large public green areas, maintained by unionized city workers on a regular schedule. Lawns are kinda like everyone having a tiny but much shittier park. All this stuff just feels normal because we grew up around it

bro it's literally half of our symbol

EP Thompson wrote about time and clocks extensively in "Time, Work-Discipline and Industrial Capitalism" and two takeaways are how humans outside of capitalism understand and experience time differently and that clocks are a necessary prerequisite for capitalism. To turn around your assertion a little, capitalist time as described by clocks are a bourgeois construct that exist to enforce capitalist production and sell us everything.

Debord would agree with you

maybe not sell alarm clocks but absolutely structure and control behavior, that shit goes waaaaaaay back though

We have abolished second sleep so our capitalist overlords can make a few dollars more. We have gaslighted people into believing circadian rythms don't exist and a large part of the population are just lazy. To cope with this we have normalized needing stimulants in order to function (Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee)

old people typically have poor hearing. Are you sure you aren’t simply being a good sibling and taking your sisters side?

Edited to be more accurate, point is that if you’re fucking another persons sleep you’re too loud unless they are being completely unreasonable “princess and the pea” style.

Thanks comrade for your story and the advice. Ironically, the reason I had moved there was because it seemed quiet. Quieter than my last place where the walls where cinder blocks and no insulation, so I could hear everything including a pin drop. But man, my 2nd day there, we had SWAT show up for someone making threats, barricading themselves in their apartment. Then, we had an invasion of dicks come and hold parties in the parking lot at 4am during school days, waking up parents and kids. The cops had to be called for them but ironically the apts are next to a police station and I'm like, "the cops don't hear that?" They did but the bastards always hauled ass when they saw the cops. Porky finally got a clue and learned how to trap them, so a few got caught and their cars impounded. Things have finally settled down but man, the things I'll endure for a $1200 all included 1bd with better insulation.

If you're rich enough to afford a dirtbike, you're practically bourgeoise. Sorry sweaty, I don't make the rules.

"Hooning" is driving your car/bike really fast and revving the engine to make a lot of noise, usually very late at night, they often occur around burnouts, but not always. And a "bogan" is kind of the Australian version of...I guess "white trash" sort of people? People known for generally being drunk, violent, inconsiderate, and generally awful to others. There is also a classist aspect to it as well, as they tend to be poor, but I wasn't intended that aspect of it here, more the "loud and inconsiderate" part.

It's wild to me that a common room isn't a normal thing in american urban planning. It's pretty normal for a housing unit to have a dedicated room for big parties and that sort of stuff.

Yeah I mean ultimately the argument comes down to alienation in the here and now, which there is no one size fits all answer for how to deal with.

Nah yer good it's being reported as dunk tank evasion lol
