A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.
Rules:
“I encountered a contractor with a backhoe knocking down trees 50 feet inside my property line,” he said. “When I asked about the missing bees, the contractor said they had been moved by the landowner.”
Screw the bees. They’re fucking with his trees. Give me some tree law!
Found the Lorax
Its no joke. The bee's might be a minor fine but tree law is real and its extremely costly.
They're going after him for lost wages so it'll be $50-100k just for that. Hiring a lawyer was smart.
Treble damages!!!! I wanna see em!
Screw the bees. They’re fucking with his trees.
Hear this man's pleas! Break the thief's knees!
Theft. Property damage. Trespassing.
Why wasn't the neighbor arrested and charged for those crimes?
Florida.
That's a good question.
Come on people, fuck! I almost never complain about bad headline gramnar, though it is rampant. It seems to be just something you have to live with these days.
The sentence has two subject/predicate pairs: "beekeeper loses," and "neighbor has." So when it comes time for the possessive pronoun "his"... who the fuck is that?
Many would say you should avoid this pronoun altogether. But if you are determined to use it, please at least make it refer to the last mentioned subject!
This story would be very different (and not much of a story at all) if the neighbor had beehives removed from the neighbor's own property, which is what the headline literally says.
Thank you, I was sitting here wondering why this was a bad thing? I would do the same thing… “get your shit off of my property”.
The irony of misspelling 'grammar' is pretty funny
Misspelling, especially when typing on a phone, is orders of magnitude less egregious than the gramner problem in the headline.
My gramnar has always been terrible. 🤪
Mine, on thd other hanf, is prefect, though my speling is not.
Don't fuck with a man's bees. Hope the hive owner's neighbor gets stung on his ass.
I can't beelieve it
Dad!
Oh Honey! I'm finally back from getting milk
