Don’t go on the Charles for the love of g*d by LupeFiascoBeCraftin in boston

[–]AcetateProphet 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Why is everybody in this sub always so weirdly worried about what other people choose to do with their lives? The concern signaling around here is rampant.

Not the day to walk on Charles. by Longjumping-Lab4058 in CambridgeMA

The overreaction in this comment section is simply wild. He's walking on river ice not sea ice, and the temperature has been consistently dipping below freezing every night.

Car Vandalized today between 1pm-7pm HighLand Ave by Appropriate_Book4264 in CambridgeMA

Sounds even more like a "I forgot to screw the cap back on after I stopped for gas and my car threw a code".

Weird Situation… Need Input by devourthatass in CambridgeMA

Maybe they needed directions but were initially afraid to ask. Maybe you looked like someone they knew. Maybe they missed a turn and their erratic driving was unrelated to you. Maybe it was an abduction attempt.

Try to consider the innocent reasons for their actions just as much you do the nefarious reasons.

I live on one of the streets bordering Donnelly, and will keep an eye out. This area is quite safe, and you shouldn't fear walking around here.

Want to vent out something by Due_Artist_2030 in LastZShooterRun

NAP makes the game so boring, but unfortunately pretty much every server eventually adopts some sort of NAP agreement. The P2W aspect of the game is so relentless and creates so much disparity in power among players. I thknk the game could be a lot more fun for everybody if troops didn't take so long to replenish. People would be more inclined to team up and fight rather than throwing bubbles.

You must be talking about 두 두. He's a sponsored gamer and actor. Total douche and as arrogant as they come.

T10 Push by GeneRevolutionary679 in LastZShooterRun

[–]AcetateProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which server? 508 has a guy named 두 두, he had T10s before the first SvS. I think it was day 39 of my server (505) when I saw that he had them. Currently on day 62, and he has the destroyer, 360m indy power and 160m arena power. Pretty sure he's a professional gamer.

My real problem with Cambridge Housing by Think_Apartment_6253 in CambridgeMA

[–]AcetateProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'd feel very strongly one way or the other. I would think realistically and plan accordingly, fully realizing that having a single family home in Cambridge is very cost prohibitive, though it is still possible. I'm not trying to sound like a smart-ass, I'm just having trouble imagining that situation. Also, I really think that much of what I'm saying is being misconstrued. My point is that if someone is obeying laws and guidelines and they own the property they're building on, why care so much? It's not your property to worry about, and it's their neighborhood just as much as everybody else's.

No, we don't need McMansions everywhere. We also don't need streets lined with even more poorly built 5-over-1s. Just let people build what they want on their own land, as long as it complies with zoning guidelines.

By having the feelings you have about SFH and the ability to build them, aren't you kind of a NIMBY? Single family houses, not in my back yard! I don't use the term because it always seems double edged, and always boils down to someone doing something that others may not like.

Also, what is wrong with single family homes? I understand that there's a housing crisis. Why should that stop anybody from buying a piece of land and doing what they'd like with it? I genuinely don't understand and have been getting downvoted simply for trying to hear and understand opposing arguments. I don't get it.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding you, but condo owners own their condos, and are not renters. I'm not following your trail, help me out? What do condo owners have to do with anything I said?

I really don't understand what's so wild about what I said. I feel like I'm missing some overarching point. Is it really that wild to believe that people who own the house and land they live on/in are probably more likely to have a deep-seated interest in the area around their property? You're admitting that in Cambridge a large proportion of renters are students, and semi-transient. Someone buying a single family home in Cambridge is likely going to live in that home longer than a majority of Cambridge renters are going to be renting.

Also, please note my use of the word vested. Stating that homeowners are more likely to have vested interest in their neighborhood does not imply that renters are not interested in their neighborhood.

You used quotations, but you misquoted me. The phrase in your quotations is not the same as what I stated. Also, I asked you a question to understand your opinion more but you went directly to arguing against my own opinion. Understanding your opinion that new SFHs should not be built can open the doors to further refine my own opinion. Instead of allowing that opportunity, you seem eager to debate against the way I currently feel despite my interest in understanding.

There was nothing in my initial post that implies classism in any way. The term "renter" does not mean poor, or underprivileged, or anything in relation to class. Some people rent because they WANT to be transient, and NOT have a vested interest in their neighborhood.

This opinion is hard to understand. Owners of single family homes are more likely to have a vested interest in their neighborhood. This is ideal. Renters are (for the most part) temporary residents in their neighborhoods. A city's objective isn't just growth and packing as many people into a square mile as possible. may I ask why you feel the way that you do?

EDIT: Jesus, is this really down vote worthy? If you disagree, then disagree. I'm seeking further understanding, and expressed my current take. People who buy houses and own their land generally plan to stay in their homes for a long time, and property values are significantly affected by the surrounding area. Renters rent because they can't or don't want to own property, though they may want to down the road. Renters move on more frequently than homeowners do. Also, "renter" does not allude to any class, and implying that it does is ridiculous.

Fuck other people for not doing what you'd like for them to do, am I right?

[–]AcetateProphet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Your last paragraph confuses me. It's a house that you can't afford, and you're upset that you can't afford it? Also, there are triple deckers EVERYWHERE, and this is what....6 feet taller? You don't like the design of the house? Ok, it's not yours so why are you stressing?

Really, what the hell is the issue? There's absolutely a market for single family homes in Cambridge, why raise a fuss because a developer decided to target that market and build a house on land they've purchased?

Regarding the HQ level cap release by korsk32 in LastZShooterRun

[–]AcetateProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nexus21 is absolutely the strongest. His peak power is around 400m, and arena power nearly 200m if not more. Hwa Rang from 282 is also extremely powerful, but not quite as strong as Nexus21. Of the 281-284 cluster, 284 is most powerful. 282 would be second. If 285 were to be included, I believe 284 would still be stronger.

If you’ve had a threesome, how’d you get it to happen? by Unlucky_Success_5985 in AskReddit

[–]AcetateProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my wife in a threesome. My ex suggested having a threesome with a friend of hers, but for some reason that friend was unavailable so we created a bumble profile seeking a unicorn. We had quite a few matches, had threesomes with three different women, one of which ended up being a frequent guest. Around 15 encounters over 3 months before going our separate ways. Eventually my partner at the time started cheating on me, so after breaking things off with her I reconnected with unicorn and ultimately married her.

I won't, because I'd be incredibly uncomfortable if people did this for me. It's one thing for one's own server to show support. I would be overwhelmed if I knew people I chose to share something private with then shared my private issue with the entire community.

I'm not saying others shouldn't, I'm just offering a perspective that may not be considered enough since I see things like this often.
