        i think the things on the green bench might be anti-handholding or anti-cuddling things instead. you know, to aid against the display of lewd activity in public (/s)

        They keep the homeless at bay, but wait until the Ayurveda Yoga crowd discovers them. They’ll be worse than a pidgeon infestation.

          Actually, they are. As far as the average conservative cares, both of them are dirty pests that should be driven away.

            And under no circumstances should you feed them or they’ll become dependent on you and keep coming back. It’s better to let them die.

              Might as well just put em out of their misery note then.

            The difference is if you build public bathrooms, the pigeons won’t use them. If humans are shitting outside to a degree it becomes a problem, the problem isn’t the people doing the shitting.

            Now, if we could get pigeons to use a bathroom, or even a shitting mat, that would be an achievement.

            You’re not wrong but people gotta defecate and frequently have no where to do it. If we cared for our people, with housing in this case, it would benefit literally everyone else too.
