AI summary, for those who can't watch it right now, like myself:

The video discusses the history of lawns and their impact on American culture:

  • Lawns originated in 17th century Europe as a symbol of wealth and status, eventually making their way to America [01:31].

  • The invention of the push lawnmower and sprinklers in the 19th century made lawn maintenance more accessible [02:43].

  • After World War II, suburban sprawl and consumerism led to lawns becoming a standard feature of the American dream [03:37].

  • Homeowners' associations (HOAs) enforce strict rules about lawn care, contributing to the pressure to maintain a perfect lawn [05:23].

  • The lawn care industry has become a massive business, with homeowners spending billions of dollars on products and services [07:14].

  • Lawns have negative environmental impacts, including water waste and pesticide runoff [09:11].

  • The video suggests alternatives to traditional lawns, such as growing food or native species, xeriscaping, using fake turf or clover, or simply letting the lawn grow naturally [10:13].

If you happened to touch shit with literally any part of your body other than your asshole, would you be happy with just wiping it with a piece of dry paper, or would you immediately go wash it?

I have no more questions...

Btw, don't even get me started if you have a hairy butt.

Yes, there was actually a typo on my comment. I meant to say that I tried to RESET the password a couple times, but the message is still there.

I'm afraid it is still happening to me. Is there any site admin I can reach out for support with that?

I can register, but when I try to login, I am getting an error saying the credentials do not match their records. Tried to test the password a couple times but the error is still there.

This should have its own community. RedactedPoetry

 

I am looking for online master degrees and came across TECH, with an incredibly granular offering and excellent reviews in sites like Trustpilot or Emagister. Their prices are also very competitive.

The more I tried to find information about them, the shadier things looked. The vast majority of the opinions about them are very favourable (suspiciously so), but some are straight up scam accusations. No middle ground.

Has anyone had first hand experience with them?
