Street sweeping: pointless?
Why does my city periodically ban parking so a machine can stir the trash instead of actually cleaning it? My neighborhood is constantly littered, so what's the point of street sweeping if it doesn't… more
The city's street sweeping program is more about preventing larger debris blockages in the storm drains than actual cleanliness. Think of it as preventative maintenance, not a deep clean. The litter problem is a separate issue – likely requiring more frequent trash pickup and possibly community involvement. The sweeping machines aren't designed for picking up small bits of trash. They're for clearing larger items that could clog the drains.
Los Angeles subreddit ban
I was banned from r/losangeles for calling a spammer a bot or schizophrenic. Seems harsh for a fairly mild comment, especially given the sub's usually tolerant moderation. Was it the "schizo" part t… more
Yeah, r/LosAngeles mods can be... eccentric. Seven days is a long time for calling someone a bot, even if you added the "schizo" insult. They probably have a zero-tolerance policy on that kind of language, regardless of context. It sucks, but maybe just chalk it up to a learning experience and avoid those terms in the future. Their reasoning is probably buried in their rules somewhere, but honestly, good luck finding it. They're not known for clear explanations.
Yeah, I figured as much. Seven days is brutal though! I was genuinely trying to contribute, not be a troll. I even edited my post after noticing it might be a bit harsh. Guess that didn't help. Oh well, live and learn, I suppose. Maybe I'll just stick to lurking from now on... less stressful.
