Yet another reason to move to the boonies where the only garbage truck is your own beater every couple weeks.
And you accidentally turn a whipped cream container into a steam rocket.
Good news, the flock camera on every corner will be tracking you and looking for any violations with your truck.
And by good, I mean bad.
Lol. Lmao even.
A flock camera in a rural area will end up like a stop sign in a rural area. Full of bulletholes.
I thought so too. I live in the rural southeast. Those things are at every major intersection and about half of the rest of them.
Maybe the people that don’t mind shooting stuff will learn what they are and take them out. So far the only people I’ve heard about doing that are some kids from one of the local colleges getting arrested for it. Don’t know what happened after that tbh. But most country people are total bootlickers for the cops, as long as they keep the browns out
It's not rural until your town contracts a county sheriff for a handful of hours a week and otherwise has no police force! Literally not enough funding for a flock deal around these parts lol. If all these intersections ur talking about have paved roads, lights, and bullet hole free signs we may have different definitions of rural!
Yeah that’s fair, I’m talking southeast rural. I have spent some time in Alaska, and that’s something else, that’s for sure.
I assure you our stop signs are appropriately peppered by buckshot, but you can’t go ten miles without going by a flock camera. But relatively, nothing’s that far apart down here, and you can’t go too far without crossing a state highway.
But our good ol’ boys are far more interested in harassing minorities than disrupting government surveillance.
No kidding at one point I lived in Texas in the DFW triangle so not exactly rural LOL, havent been in much rural South. I now live in rural north and it is very different, closest interstate is an hour away. And thankfully people don't really harass each mother much 👍
Nobody has been arrested for it here.
There are plenty of so called brown people, though.
I will only buy property in an area where every sign has bullet holes.
Lets me know my neighbors share my disdain for authority.
Jokes on them I only use it on my property except for garbage runs and the plates are stolen
Some small towns councils/shires can be even more intrusive and nosy than those in the city, because they have fuck all else to do.
My dad lives in a small town of 30 people and the shire is nosy as fuck.
If they can stick their noses in my business I’m not far enough away
Hmmm. A wall of those tall skinny evergreen topiaries run across the front edge of the lawn would be nice. Put in a little white picket gate with flowerboxes for effect.
Those evergreens will give my pigs a nice shade, and you’ll have to deal with the smell.
I'm well used to pigshit stink. Now dairy cows.. that's a whole other level of death.
