I can understand the complaint though.
You might not have come if you knew beforehand that it would be this busy. But now that you’re finally here, you don’t want to waste the trip and decide to make the best of it. You just grumble a little that it’s so busy.
I respect the environment.

I think I understand the joke, but I’ve seen things from this point of view as well. Something happened during and after pandemic lockdowns that has led to absolutely unprecedented numbers of people going out and hiking what were previously really quiet trails. It was already tough maintaining them before, now you’ve got tons of people who don’t bother to know the norms or understood rules of the parks.
Several parks near me have had to institute an admittance/ticketing program with reservations made a month in advance just to enter the trailhead lot because they’re so overrun with people now. It’s great that people are outside and enjoying a public resource, but maybe it’s just a few too many people all at once?

My nephew always tells me: man i HATE traffic. And i tell him: but we are the traffic, we are part of the problem. I don’t think he understands it yet.

The big US national parks had a reservation system for a bit. It was great.
If I get a ticket, I’ll go and it’ll be a pleasant experience. If I don’t, well, I can take a tour bus in or I can just not go.
I appreciated that systemic fix, even if it sucks when you don’t get a ticket and get to drive in exactly how you want. (You can still enter on foot or public transit.)

I bet they have a licence plate and bumper stickers that tell other people how environmentally friendly they are.

I think there are three ways to handle this properly:
- If you know it’s gonna be busy do not go there.
- If you must go there because you have something more important to do there than the rest of the crowd (e. g. tourists in your home city) you may complain all you want.
- If you go there, and there is a crowd, and they are all there for the same reason you are, you can talk, but not complain about it. You can’t complain about people who all you know about is that they are behaving the same as you in a certain situation. That’s like complaining about yourself. That’s saying there are many people here, but you are not part of the people.

His name is already on the image where he signed it.
arsCynic@piefed.social 10 months ago
With every “Save Image As” → “Share”, the picture quality tends to degrade. Sooner or later the signature become illegible or simply cropped out.
Moreover, few people click a link to the source to check out the artist. But, even fewer read the signature, search for the name, and start browsing from there.
