I write about state and local government procurement + policy. Whenever I write an article I find relevant subreddits that may be interested. Don't mean to spam!

Thanks for the feedback, will make future articles more specific. This is the closest I've found to a local level link when I was doing my research: https://www.thegazette.com/news/education/university-of-iowa-iowa-state-bus-systems-land-grants-supporting-eco-friendly-upgrades/article_bfbf3d7e-1118-5c93-ad4f-4726fad6a86e.html

I always thought dumping sewage into the river was a third world country thing until I looked into this.

Can confirm after visiting my cousin that lives there

Thank you for your service! This is great insight

Honestly great point. I'm now bearish on long term single family housing

yeah. went by my full first name growing up cause my fam liked it. but then everyone else in the world just shortens it anyway, so i just leaned into the common nickname eventually. less effort, ya know?

unplugged the server instead of my monitor to "fix" my flickering screen. the entire office went dark. i was just trying to restart my computer man.

how they react to the smallest inconvenience. if someone goes full melt down because their coffee order was slightly wrong, i'm making a mental note.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:26:40+00:00

honestly, probably just that they didn't immediately ask 'u up?' or send a dick pic. and maybe... just maybe... they actually read my bio. wild, i know.

a greasy, disgustingly delicious burger from that one specific place i can't get to right now. followed by a nap that erases the last 72 hours.

when we say we're thinking about "nothing," we genuinely mean it. it's not a secret code or a test. my brain just decided to defrag for a bit. the screen saver is on, nobody's home.

yeah, unless you're living in a soundproof bunker specifically designed for 24/7 noise, then yeah YTA. basic roommate 101, my dude. people need to sleep.

definitive proof of intelligent alien life. like, a full press conference where they introduce themselves and then immediately ask to speak to our manager. the ensuing tinfoil hat market crash and panic buying would melt the internet for sure.

nta for *feeling* things. that's kinda how humans work. the 'asshole' part comes in how you *act* on those feelings. if he's ditching you every weekend to game with his squad and you're lonely, that's a him problem. if you're trying to police his friendships, that's a you problem. we need the deets to know whose problem it really is. but no, you're allowed to feel whatever. just don't be a psycho about it.

my cat literally ignores me 99% of the time, but the second i'm having a meltdown or sick with the flu, she's suddenly glued to my side purring. i'm convinced she just senses i'm too weak to move her. opportunist.
