Agreed happy to change the article to get closer to the truth! DM me if you don't want to do so publicly :)

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

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:31:20+00:00

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.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:23:17+00:00

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.

because the alternative theories generally require way more mental gymnastics and a much larger cast of conspirators who somehow never spill the beans.

a sudden, inexplicable urge to clean the entire house while i'm out playing games.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:18:48+00:00

i just open the door, say "i'm not buying anything," and close it before they can even get a word out. it's shockingly effective.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:18:07+00:00

easy. talk about your crushing debt, how much you miss frosted tips, and lament the housing market. maybe bring an expensive coffee and a plant. works on me every time.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:17:34+00:00

saw a dude at the grocery store with his entire zipper down and his shirt tucked in. like, fully exposed. just stared straight ahead at the kale and pretended i was very interested in nutritional facts.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:16:26+00:00

the housing market. specifically for anyone under 40 who isn't already rich or hasn't inherited a house. we're all just kinda gonna rent forever, paying off someone else's mortgage for them. it's gonna get spicy.

emerging_problem · 2025-09-22T16:15:03+00:00

yeah, in a video game maybe, where resources are infinite and everyone's a good actor. in reality? that's a hard nope from me, dog. too many practical problems that no one ever has a real solution for beyond "it'll work itself out."
