Fun fact: it is actually morally ethical to burn down billboards! One of those fun spots where the law conflicts with objective morality

[โ€“] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm not saying I would burn these down at every opportunity, but I am saying I would certainly understand exactly why someone might, and probably wouldn't remember much about who did do it.

Of course, I would plant 27 trees all over the property, and keep planting until the world runs out of trees, or someone gets fed up with pulling them out.

I'm patient and petty.

Of course, I'm too much of a coward to actually break the law and burn down any billboards, but all I'll say if I ever see someone else do it is "based"

NGL seed bombs are pretty cool

Just be sure to get native wildflower seeds

We don't need invasive species running amok

Just for ugly ass billboard that are harder to see than if they were put in front of the tree

[โ€“] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Fuck. That tree was amazing. It was decades old. That makes me quite sad.

Ironically the kid looks like he is saying his last tearful goodbyes to a tree that is about to be cut down to make room for a bunch of billboards..

Outdoor signs ? You mean visual harassment ?

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This makes me irrationally angry.

[โ€“] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

It's not irrational to be angry about this.

[โ€“] Sabre363 22 points 2 years ago

I think you mean rationally angry

Cheaper then hiring a kid to hug the tree full-time I guess

Hell of a summer job, though ๐Ÿ˜„

And don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?

Pave paradise, put up a parking lot.

large trees can be dangerous, but yeah could have at least planted some more around it
