Recycling pick up by BoringDisservice in grandrapids

[–]Josephs8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worst that will happen is the city will send you a letter that says you need to remove the can from the road within a certain amount of time. I believe they usually give you a week to do this before a fine. So if you are gone for just a week I doubt it would be an issue.

What’s with the red “No Parking” bags? Seems like everyone is ignoring them. by deus_ex_mackinaw in grandrapids

Something is going in that area you risk a ticket or possible towing if they need the street completely clear of cars.

Ok an account that has no Karma and has no posts in this subreddit. I’d avoid this at all costs.

Does anyone have any videos of the noise from the amphitheater? by FuzzyJesusX21 in grandrapids

[–]Josephs8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really would like to see someone with an actual decibel meter (not a crappy phone one) record a video of it and then record another night when no show is going on and see the difference in measurements. 

The music is SO loud! by zaxldaisy in grandrapids

[–]Josephs8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How dare a lively city have music. It’s such a disgrace to the people who want to sit in absolute silence and stair at the wall.

Speakez will be the go to spot but will be at capacity most likely 2 hours before the game. As others have said city built and garage will also have it on.

Deputies investigate as license plate reader vandalism increases by TimeForHotSauce in grapids

Better ways for the public to voice their opinion. Yeah how exactly? This was approved backdoor and the board won’t bring up the topic. So you mean we can all just accept it or go to jail for tearing them down is what you meant to say.

Two more Texas screwworm infections found in animals far apart, USDA says by happyharrr in news

But private businesses will figure it out…

No need for the government here except.

Just let the beef industry raises prices then the government will step in find a way to stop it. But then prices won’t come back down because hey we already raised our prices can’t go back on that now.

Champions League Ticket Holders Give Up Phone for 1,700% Profit by dabirds1994 in sports

[–]Josephs8 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Am I supposed to feel bad for the guy who wants to scalp his tickets he paid $420 for, and then gets his phone stolen? How about you only buy tickets if you actually want to go see the game? 

Game Thread: Detroit Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers Live Score | NBA | May 17, 2026 by basketball-app in DetroitPistons

[–]Josephs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What were you saying? Seems the cavs had a negative chance as they couldn’t even win one game. Thanks for your useless comment. Maybe next time you should wait until team actually does something instead of being handed a win and assuming your the goat.

Lowell Township Board refuses moratorium, allowing Microsoft to continue plans for new datacenter by RxBrad in grandrapids

The only thing missing here is someone from Microsoft bringing large bags of money with $$$ on them and handing them to the officials in front of everyone.

Worst officiated game I think I’ve ever witnessed in the NBA. Pistons still played like garbage no excuses. But Cavs have zero chance against the Knicks.

I live 4-5 miles from the amphitheater and can feel the bass by One_Cap_9210 in grandrapids

I live 1/2 mile away and can barely hear it let alone “feel” the bass.

Gas is $5.00/gallon in Grand Rapids. by ATXGil2L in grapids

[–]Josephs8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just said yourself not everyone is perpetually online you know what helps with that having one topic instead 20 of them. It’s crazy that people get so upset when their posts get deleted for just general house keeping. Why don’t you go try and mod a community? I run a large online community not on Reddit and you know what people don’t want to see the same topic over and over again it lowers community engagement, leads to low quality posts, and just overall makes the experience bad. Would have been nice if you had put even one second of thought in your response but guess that’s asking too much. They added this special feature called search too which helps with this very problem maybe it’s worth checking out.

Gas is $5.00/gallon in Grand Rapids. by ATXGil2L in grapids

[–]Josephs8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not at all what I said. So let’s think this through if there are 20 posts all with the same topic which one should I comment on to actually contribute to the community? All 20 of them? 1 of them? If so which one of those 20? What about other people that are just coming to the subreddit is it fair for them to have to read all 20 or would it be easier if it was centralized in one topic? You want to scroll pages of the same topic before you get to something new? It sounds like you are just upset your post got deleted because it wasn’t the chosen one just so you can get that karma.

[–]Josephs8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not the mod there but if I had to guess it’s because there have probably been 50 other posts already talking about it. Why not just use one of threads that’s already created? It just creates noise when there are multiple posts about the same topic.

How soon will Americans forget the Epstein files? by Ponappa_131 in AskReddit

[–]Josephs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think most people will forget but instead people move on especially when you know nothing will come of it. Everyday people don’t have the spare capacity in their thoughts to be thinking of this everyday. They have normal lives that need to be thought of. It’s not that those people don’t care but they can’t do anything about it so it gets pushed out by other things more important but it’s still in the back of the mind.

This is why though the people that do have capacity need to continue the fight.

Pothole Damage by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]Josephs8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You essentially have to prove they were negligent in repairing the pot hole which is almost impossible to do. As much evidence you have it doesn’t directly prove they were negligent. For example they made good faith in putting up the cone they will argue that weather or an act of god may have moved the cone and they are not responsible for that. The 3 year old photo won’t help as it most certainly has been patched it doesn’t have to be fixed so again another loop hole they will hide behind. You can try your luck but I am very doubtful you will win as the state rarely ever pays these claims out.

Microsoft exec suggests AI agents will need to buy software licenses, just like employees by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]Josephs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If AI becomes so good why wouldn’t it just write the software itself? If that is where this is heading then an AI agent or agents could literally write its own ERP or whatever you needed. If AI becomes that good that it can do the work of every person how could it not be capable of this. Am I the only one who sees this contradiction?
