This means you're likely throwing some things in the trash that shouldn't be there.
Well if they take it away, then it is OK to throw it away with them, eh?

You might be surprised how many women actually enjoy porn.
Err...as the old saying goes..."real" men don't care what women want...
But seriously.....sure there are women that like it, but not nearly enough in numbers to drive content made and published at least not the general masses.

I think most would agree, porn would be a lot better for society if more "real people" were in it. Instead of a LA fitness instructor with huge breast implants, like we saw in the 80s and 90s and 00s...what if it was actual women and men who are actually in love with their partners and have imperfect bodies? What if lonely people watched healthy, positive, loving sex instead of impersonal performances?
Err...because that gets old and boring REALLY REALLY fast.
No one is watching pr0n to learn relationship lessons....people just want to get off and get back to their day....
And, everyone has a different body type they prefer, etc......there's niches for everyone....

I like in a large suburban/urban area and I have to go to the dump for certain kinds of waste (batteries, UPSes, eWaste, etc).
Yeah...we just throw all that stuff in the "regular" trash and they haul it away.
Where you live, do the garbage men actually slow down and stop their jobs to "inspect" your trash, open up bags, etc...to see what you are throwing away in there?

I'd think even where you live there is some limit to what the garbage men will take?
Not that I've found yet....garbage, old CRT monitors, pretty much any household waste chemicals / agents, oil...etc. Ive thrown out whole beds (mattress, boxsprings, frames....old bookcases....
I've heard some areas make you sort your trash...I've never lived in such a place as having "trash police" sifting through what you throw out.
recycling was halted years ago, but I think recently they started again, but you have to pay for it, but if you do that program, they do pick it up for you weekly I believe.

Is this something you do often?
No, it's pretty much one day a year (but usually several times on that day): spring cleanup (though my smizmar and I call it "truck day" (*)).
It's uncompostable/tainted yard waste, even furniture (if it's in truly horrible shape), and all sorts of other random trashy shit. When it happens, the amount of resulting trash is many times the size of our trash bin or what can even be put on on the curb for "large item pickup." The usual weekly process is overwhelmed and can't handle it; there simply isn't room. So we haul it.
* "Truck day" because I decided paying $72 to rent U-haul's big pickup truck for a few hours is preferable to paying $72k to buy a big pickup truck. And it usually gets used for more than just dumping trash; it's often a large-item shopping day too. (To be next decade's trash? Don't ask!)

mass incarcerations and deportations for mostly non-criminals (being in the U.S. w/o permission is a civil, not criminal, infraction), etc... Did I miss anything?
You're wrong about the illegal alien crime levels...
Generally, someone that OVERSTAYS a visa, is indeed not a federal criminal offense, but the person IS removable / deportable at that point.
But a persona that has improper or unauthorized access (crossing illegally) indeed violates Federal criminal statute (USC 1325).
Illegal REENtRY after removal: That's a bigger more serious federal crime under (8 USC 1326).
So please quit trying to make all these folks here as illegal aliens as no big deal....many/most of them are guilty of criminal offenses JUST by being here.
And ALL of them here illegally are subject to immediate deportation.

We are already stopping this. In my state when I run to the landfill I'm required to drop electronic items off at one station, chemicals at another, recylcing like wood or plastic at yet another. Only when I am down to the misc crap not worth recycling or salvaging or handling differently for safety purposes am I allowed to go dump it in the actual landfill.
Go to the dump?
Is this something you do often?
Where you live, don't the garbage trucks run through your neighborhood 1-2 times a week and just pick up what you throw out?
If not where do you life they don't do this in the US? Are you somewhere extremely rural?
I've never heard of anyone in modern times having to haul their own track to a dump.

D'oh, but DarkOx, I actually do agree with you on something: the license plates are there and they're visible in public. We don't need Flock to have our privacy compromised; everyone can do it.
We haven't denied our adversaries the capability; we're just trying to regulate their good intentions. That strategy doesn't work.
Flock is the symptom not the disease. People either need to demand anonymity and insist we stop displaying things like plates at all, and actually limit public photography, or just accept we will be tracked everywhere. There is no middle ground to be had.
Indeed. We seem pretty conflicted about that, so we're getting the worst of both worlds.

A lot of people are intentionally commiting crimes of various severity and they don't actually want police to have a more effective enforcement tool
This set of people is dwarfed into insignificance be non-criminals who are also being caught on camera. And the problem with that isn't false positives, it's true positives: non-criminal John Doe's car was spotted at a certain place at a certain time, so let's make that fact available on the market. That way, we can target him with ads, increase his insurance premiums, let his wife's PI know what neighborhood he had lunch in, let assassins when he's home, and let burglars (or his wife's rapist) know when he's not home.
