Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.
Just indirectly.

I once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.
Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.
It's made me realize something.
Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.
Humans are gross and it's nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.
Skilled truckers
I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.
I've met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.
And then I've also met some that couldn't figure out their 13ft tall trailer can't fit under a 12ft 8 bridge...
For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.
You know, it's always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as "barbaric" or "Savage", but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.
200 years ago, the local "doctor" will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he's gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it's last use.
200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you'll be fine.
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.
Lol. I wasn't going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I'm not paying for gearbox games ever again.
"I was just doing my job" is an excuse that I thought we figured out, as a planet, was bullshit in the 1940s.
Set a trap for whoever comes to haul things away.
As shitty as things like this are, at least they're self identifying who needs to be in the Guillotine line.
Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.
End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.
The big one of endgame is Tony Stark commits the single worst crime in the history of the universe by "un-snapping" the half of the universe that was snapped by Thanos 5 years after they disappeared. No accounting for all the people who are dead in the meantime, no accounting for all the awkward conversations of "oh for me I just blinked and now you have two kids and a new wife" or "who are you people and why are you in my house where am I supposed to live now" all because he lacks the imagination to make the universe go back 5 years while keeping Pepper and his daughter the same.
Oh and
. That's probably more important to most people.spoiler
he dies in the process too
That's how I felt about infinity war and endgame.
I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn't watched it after a good year and a half.
Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I'd finally watch it.
I'm impressed you've gone this long.
Hot damn, what an absolute piece of shit garbage human being.
