As an Australian I am horrified at this. What kind of city forbids public barbecue?
What’s next, forbidding public displays of joy?
Doing the Lord's work.

I’d be fine with it if people could throw their fucking trash in a bin and leave the place like they found it.

Sounds to me like a legal workaround is to have an invite-only barbecue then have a stack of invites and write them out as people come up. “Its not public, its invite only! Why yes I’d be happy to give you an invitation!”

Regulating public life is always a balancing act between assholes ruining the fun for everyone and the regulations ruining the fun. You can bet that if public barbecuing was allowed, assholes would dump their trash everywhere and start fires by being careless.

Great idea, instead of punishing the people that dump their trash everywhere, just go and outlaw some unrelated activity!

Well, you have to catch people dumping their trash to punish them. Most often, you’ll only see the aftermath of discarded packaging and sometimes whole grills.

Some other societies do a better job of policing themselves via social pressure. Unfortunately in the US it’s “fuck you, you can’t make me.”

A surprising amount of that is literally just asshats banking on nobody telling them to cut it out, because there is also very much a culture of just quietly being upset by the bad behavior then later posting loudly on a local public Facebook group instead of just walking up and asking them to turn the music down/pick up the trash/not set off fireworks in the middle of the airshow (a real world example where I spoke out on and the person immediately backed off and stopped setting off the fireworks)

This reminds me of a friend of mine, whose great grandfather is the reason the suburb he grew up in still has a law requiring owned guns to be stored with the police. Apparently the old man was a proper bastard and had a habit of hanging out in his porch, shotgun in hand, terrorizing other residents.

Don’t know what this has to do with religion…but this is excellent. I’m tired of the insidious phrases that normalize and modernize religion as being relevant. Especially Christianity, which can fuck right off. We need to all be more conscious of casually centering religion in our language, and do our best to move away from it. I know I’m definitely guilty of this, and many people around me are, too. It’s in our examinations and swearing and normative thinking, and is going to take a lot of work, time, resistance, and will run headfirst into many cringe moments and decisions. But, I still think it’s important and will be good for all of us.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Carry on barbecuing.

FYI, you can make an excellent wheeled barbecue from an old shopping cart.

Does anyone have something to clean the cum stain off the word “fucking”?

I didn’t make this. I just stole it and it already had the cum stain.
