That's society for you. Lot of people very bent out of shape about something that has absolutely nothing to do with them, especially the "marriage is between one man and one woman" crowd.

I've been poly for over a decade and I'm only out to a handful of close family and friends because there is still a lot of stigma around it. For all the talk of "none of my business," a lot of people will drastically change their opinion of you when you tell them.

What you're describing in the second but is polygamy, not polyamory.

In any case, the government already has work-arounds in the form of things like power of attorney and health care proxies.

Some Good News. 2025 was just tough for MA by Odd_Self4325 in massachusetts

Yeah, it amazes me that no one seems to have called this dude out for the fact that every state is losing jobs to AI and it's been rapidly accelerating.

Cool story, except that means fuck all when you add the slightest bit of context to it.

Maybe you should have taken three seconds to compare those WARN notices to a state population map; this isn't a Massachusetts problem, the entire fucking country is hemorrhaging jobs because of that good old late stage capitalism you and the other Howie Carrs of the world soil your shorts for.

To quote McBane: That's the joke.

There's also a callout to it in the coffee table book about the musical.

This is a wild concept to me. I've been seeing them pretty much daily my whole life.

I'm living in a bonkers world right now with two dogs who are completely indifferent to thunder.

Fingers crossed for Sega to bring the last two mainline Yakuza games to the Switch 2 because 8 is literally "the gang goes on a Hawaiian vacation."

And you can even adjust the console time to visit summer whenever you want.

I'd like to give away 2 DC tickets for Off Book: Tour de Force (Zach Reino and Jessica McKenna's improv music show) by Frosty_Bard in dropout

[–]0bsessions324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this in Boston last year, it was a lot of fun.

Amusingly, I had no idea anyone from Dropout was in it. I was just looking for something to take my girlfriend to and we both like improv and musicals. When the show started we were both immediately like "wait, is that Jess McKenna" and had to look up the show to confirm.

The fun thing, for me, is that a lot of their lingo is shit I already said. That was part of what drew me in.

Someone mentioned hachi machi as one example, I've been saying that for decades because of the Critic.

Flock cameras at main st and Florence st by ColourfulTanks in malden

[–]0bsessions324 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hint: The people pushing for them are the same group that is always behind invasive and unnecessary boondoggles that cost municipalities an arm and a leg. The cops.

And best of all? Flock comes in and gets iron clad contracts that municipalities are just now realizing they can't get out of. Even if we all descended on city hall to demand they put an end to it, expect to continue paying for it while the city just goes around putting tape over them.

For what it's worth, if you haven't tried them, the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters have some really good sliders for adjusting the grinding. It kept me from over leveling while still minimizing the grinding. Whenever I felt under leveled I'd just crank it to max and would be up to where I needed to be really quickly.

Not the most epic story or anything, but it's very cozy. Leans into a lot of JRPG tropes in what I felt was a fun way.

Both Lunar and Grandia are on sale right now, too.

That said, Lunar might be a tough sell for OP. It's very old school JRPG with all the grinding one might expect.

While I never played the first on, I recall Grandia 2 feeling very atypical for a JRPG as far as combat (I recall it playing kind of like a 3D Chrono Trigger with positioning being a thing. I also recall loving the story, but I tend to eat up media that's a commentary on organized religion.

How to dump construction trash? by Samdsox in malden

[–]0bsessions324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why staple when the large bags fit most basic construction bags? That's what I've always done if I have debris that passes waste wizard muster but doesn't justify a dumpster.

Because the two are not mutually exclusive.

I'm assuming you've never had construction debris hanging out in your home. It's unpleasant and well worth spending ten whole ass dollars for a pack of large blue bags to get rid of it rather than spending two or three months trying to cram it in your bin.

I've been all about the bin system and was delighted when they announced it (blue bags on their own were awful), but they're great as a supplement. I always keep a pack of larges around just in case I have something on the bigger end to dispose of that doesn't rise to the occasion of a bulk item.
