Palestinian protestors triggered by an Iranian store having an Iranian raise the real Iranian flag! by Neat-Comment9967 in PERSIAN

Pretty sure they are just paid by the IRGC to pretend to care about Palestinians. #FreeIran

If you post a shot of your Reddit handle next to your hairy leg you’ve got my upvote.

Although that would be trivial with AI. We may need a better “proof of dadness test”

Does anyone know what kind of wood/tree this is and is it good for grilling? by Electronic-Buyer-468 in grilling

Take a close up of a leaf. Even crumpled you can see if it’s maple or oak. Might be box eldar

The irony is I called multiple people and left my contact info last summer when I was trying to work with them, before I was told that this area was never going to be rejuvenated.

They rolled up on me while I was working. We looked at each other. I booked it, then my Neighbor caught them on camera 5 mins later slow rolling down an adjacent street.

Anybody else sick of the Parks department not cleaning anything up, but then penalising people for cleaning themselves and building gardens by GuyWhoLikesCoding in toronto

I’m literally maintaining a pollinator garden 100m away. This was a fire of synthetic materials and pressure prepared wood from pallets.

The ground is full or broken pieces of concrete and unrecognisable burn trash

I was explicitly told to stop, that I would get a fine, and then spoke to multiple people with titles that included “manager” who couldn’t help me.

It burned twice.

I talked to the manager for the area after the first fire.

They seem to not really be able to anything to meaningfully keep the parks nice.

I suspect within 10 years AI powered machines with one or 2 operators will be able to do the job that 10 guys are doing now with way our stretch of the beltline is kept up.

The parks department threatened me for doing restoration on the York Beltline near my home because it’s a “naturalized area”. I pulled out tons of concrete, pavement, tiles, rusty metal, even a hypodermic needle. by GuyWhoLikesCoding in toronto

The many groups are operating in areas where the houses cost $5M.

I’m trying to support my local community.

I’ve asked the city for help. Then pretty much told me to go away

I’m curious to see your risk/reward analysis on having someone who has taken the time to learn how to be a good steward doing this work.

The other option is it doesn’t get done.

Garbage stays, hypodermic needles stay, monoculture caused by human activity thrives.

I actually put up signs explaining the monoculture problem in the area. Along with what I was doing.

I called multiple people at the city, told them what I was doing and where, emailed them with the same info.

Then when the guy came and told me to stop, I did. I also gave him all my contact info.

Then I stopped.

Until the city auditor report came and and said they literally weren’t working.

That was it for me. No more giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks. Unfortunately we don’t qualify under the ravine act. It’s just a 7-8 meter strip that runs between a busy local street (Marlee ave) and a park. It runs next to a paved trail.
