In real life:

Staring out of my apartment window

see woman trying to open locked gate to the construction site across the street

do nothing because I don't give a shit

keep staring out of my apartment window

NYS rangers

How did I miss that part? That's on me.

Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren't as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.

A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn't have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)

This whole time I've been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training...

That's the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don't think about it again. So do the people who don't know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because "look at all these wrong people"

It's all designed to boost engagement.

I'm sure their massively inflated budget can handle it. Presumably the hikers pay their taxes.

Taken to police..... For wasting their time? I'm confused what actual harm they did.

Oh no they ate a fungus. Hardened criminals. Probably ms13. Gotta deport them now.

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don't use the official front-end.

My shower spider gets a reminder of our deal.

"You know the drill. You stay up there, I stay over here, nobody has to be injured today."

Sometimes the spider decides to come over to my side and gets flushed or squished, but they knew what was expected of them.

No, surely they must mean set on fire.

im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country "political reasons" I guess.

"FTC personnel want bribes and to give the government time to kill the rule so they don't have to do anything difficult right now"

New headline.

Honestly there's no legitimate reason to delay this unless you're stalling for something.

I'm sure they will.

And as long as none of them try profiting off it, Nintendo has no leg to stand on with their usual C&D bullshit.
