    Burning fossil fuels to move leaves around for purely aesthetic purposes is the most bourgeois bullshit I have ever seen. Use a fucking broom if you have to.

    True! What's up with that? It is like a plague. Every year they return once the first leaf hits the ground.
    I think these things should be outlawed - fight me

      They actually are banned in wealthier communities because they’re loud and disrupt the nimby life. Omnibus has an episode on them it’s pretty interesting.

        As someone who had a stint running a leaf blower all day for work, they stink like a motherfucker too,. My coat reeked of mixed fuel exhaust and it couldn’t be laundered out

          And I bet they weren't willing to get you a new coat either? Did you at least have proper hearing protection though?

              Sorry you lost your hearing, but that is what the market wanted and we have to respect the needs of the market. :capitalist:

              But seriously, this is pretty fucked. Good on you for getting the hell out of there.

    I was getting my haircut at the local barber sharp where all the old retired white people go to get the exact same haircut they've been getting since they were 12 (only walk in available in the neighborhood). Guy asked me how my day was. I said it started bad because it's my day off on I wanted to sleep in till about 10 but my neighbor's gardener showed up at 8 and fired up the leafblower. The three barbers spent the rest of my time there trying to bait me into shitting on Mexicans. Also could have been the scientifically proven fact that when white people are around other white people, it's ok to be racist.
