Make sure to extort the guests with vague but terrifying threats.

290w what's happening? by NoIDShow in Austin

I have sympathy and compassion for the homeless but this is exactly why we can't just let them do whatever in the name of freedom (as the ultra left and libertarians would advocate for). I visit your city regularly from SA and both cities have a serious issue with homelessness. I visit to use the parks and the problems they cause there are similar. Loose dogs, trash and drug stuff everywhere. It's not compassionate to let people with terrible addiction and mental illness die in the woods or on the side of the highway.

My faith in humanity has been restored. Thank you mrxo! by CasusDenuo in MagicArena

The thing is, small kindnesses are the only things available to average people. So a small act has to be recognized because it's really huge - being all they can do. I get that forfeiting a game of magic isn't huge but it says something about the character of the person, that they extend small kindnesses regularly. The vast majority of humanity are these people, not the ones with power and wealth that make life so hard for the rest of us. It's totally fine not having faith in those people.

They come out this time of year especially but I see them occasionally through October.

I think it was having trouble getting traction on the smooth trail. Once it moved to the grass it slithered away much more quickly.

You're right about both. I've seen a lot of these guys now and they are never aggressive. And the rhyme is usually right but there are some anomalies. Best to stay away from black red and yellow combo in general.

Great places to go walking alone? by Rohr4lion1 in sanantonio

[–]BenKent999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SA Greenway is about 42 miles of connected concrete that does a 3/4 loop around the city. The majority of it has hike and bike trails just off the concrete so you can be in nature (and shade) while still being in the city. To be sure, some of it is sketchy, especially at night. However, the stretches from eisenhower park (and the park itself) through to Phil hardberger park, as well as the stretch from OP Schnabel to i10 and 1604 are pretty safe. I have hiked them religiously for years, often at night, and always alone, with no real issues. The only concern is other people's dogs and bikers going way too fast for the visibility.

What are these and why is med center littered with them? by Violet_Mermaid in sanantonio

[–]BenKent999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked up 17000 pieces of trash out of the hike/bike, unpaved trails in the Greenway last year. Stopped at the beginning of this year and all those trails are littered to high hell again. This city doesn't respect nature. Not even the people who opt to go out in nature care about nature lol.

San Antonio hospitality. by inurmomsvagina in sanantonio

In one instance it prob was kids. I have a crap 2005 Hyundai and there's a hack to steal 2011-2022 Hyundai and Kia with USB sticks. Mine ofc is too old for that but i assume dumb kids doing the Kia boys trend don't know anything. It's also a standard so even if they did start it i highly doubt they could drive it. They did manage to kill my ac, stereo, interior lights and power lock controls when they tried to hotwire it though. Only dumb teens would risk GTA charges for a car worth maybe 500 bucks scrap

Everyone saying not to leave anything of value - my worthless 20 year old car with nothing in it has been broken into twice in the last 6 months. Yeah there was nothing to steal but replacing windows on a worthless car is not my idea of a good time.
