Who can live like that? having to bend over and open a door every time you want to throw away a wrapper. And then what do you do when you need to toss a pizza box or something?

    What kind of compost setup do you have? I liked my friends composting setup in the sticks. Essentially a metal bucket for all organic waste that goes in a bigger bin just outside then into a big composting pile when that fills up. In an apartment I'd probably need to put a compost bin on my porch and that wouldn't be super nice.

    I wish municipalities had better trash services. Idek if my apartment complex has municipal trash or just a contracted service.

      We keep an old plastic bin (like you might buy pre-prepped greens in) in the freezer for most things, and a ceramic pot next to the sink for coffee grounds. We have a composter in our yard for our vegetable garden, but if we didn't we'd be doing the same thing and just putting it in the city greens weekly pick up.

      Edit: our town stopped doing weekly garbage pickup to promote producing less waste, now does garbage every two weeks. They do green waste pickup every week though. It's a good system, if your household is producing more than a bin of straight trash every couple of weeks they are fucking up.

              What a dumb thing to think. Has it been a few years since I've gone to bed hungry? Yes, almost 10. Do I have money and/or assets? No dawg I do not. Can my partner and I afford a home or a child? Again, no.

              If you don't like me fine but this attempt to discredit me because you can read the Matrix code about my life is weak af.

                  Incredible. My partner and I rent a 1 bedroom suite with a yard because we were evicted last year because the landlord's son wanted to move in. Could we afford a two bedroom? Could we afford to live closer to our old neighbourhood? Could we afford this one bedroom if we weren't splitting it? No on all accounts.

                  This is obviously a stupid conversation, but yeah for some reason struggling all my adult life and it being so god-damned hard all the time and finally getting out of debt this year so late in my life for some reason it hurts in a surprising way for you to so casually assume I'm rich.

                  I'm out, I'm going to go eat some of these refried beans I've been making. I hope you have a good weekend comrade.
