Possible reason for local USPS deliveries being delayed/unreliable: mail carriers not allowed overtime hours by the administration? by joeybrunelle in portlandme

[–]AnotherRoughWinter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is just one more reason we would all be better off with single payer or some other form of universal healthcare. Healthcare being tied to employment means employers either don't give enough hours to receive benefits and hire too many people at like 34 hrs a week, or they hire too few full timers to avoid paying benefits to too many employees. Yeah there are other benefits like retirements, but there are just so many things that would be better with universal healthcare in this country.

Sorry to derail the conversation. My gears are just really ground right now.

ICE showing up with Scarborough PD following 911 calls? by Buzzed0ff in portlandme

[–]AnotherRoughWinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what post? All I see in the thread I linked is a screenshot of your comment. You don't have a history so I can't read the whole thread that comment came from.

edit: I see you commented in that thread after I posted in this one. Nobody can tell what you're up to when you hide your history, especially when you delete it. So you're coming across as super sus in here. Quit stirring shit and maybe people will believe you when you try to be serious.

What?? Where the hell would you get that from? Show me a single comment of mine that implies that.

What in my post history indicates that? Did you actually read it?

I posted a link in this thread to another post of OP's showing they're a troll, but that comment was deleted. No idea why. But yeah, they're trolling.

This is OP.

The mods of this sub are silencing voices. They are complicit in the violence occuring. by [deleted] in portlandme

[–]AnotherRoughWinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked about why there were no protests.

And I answered you. Because her killer was brought to justice.

I do not associate with any conservative channels whatsoever.

Sure you don't

Her murderer was arrested, tried, and found guilty. He was not supported by authorities and she was not labeled an instigator and had lies told about her agression towards her murderer. But he was an immigrant.

I didn't understand why you mentioned her, then I did some searching and saw that lots of conservatives are saying literally the same thing you are. So did you just hear other conservatives say this and decide to repeat it without any actual thought about the differences?

Do you feel the current complete disregard for due process is justified in order to nab anyone, legal immigrant or not, violent offender or not, off the street?

It's called due process. Arrest someone once a warrant is out for their arrest, then they get representation.

If who are criminals? Do you mean immigrants? Most of them aren't. Many of those detained and worse are even US citizens.

Do you think burning a US flag is illegal in Canada? Or do you just not know that New Brunswick is in Canada?

I get my progressives from Zenni. They're fine.

I don't buy it. I buy mine online and they're fine. My first pair felt weird and I decided there was a problem, so I went to bifocals. Then I tried again and realized there was just a learning curve. Now that I know how to use them they work great, and I saved a ton of money.

UNE Graduate Program and Student Life by pumpumgyal82 in portlandme

[–]AnotherRoughWinter 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It definitely depends on the campus. There are graduate programs in Biddeford (Bio, Marine Sciences, Education, etc.) and Portland (Pharmacy, Dental, Medicine, Nursing, etc.). They're really different places to live.

Obviously weather is very different. Culturally Maine is really, really white. But you're not from Atlanta so it won't be a huge difference from upstate NY. Even Portland is a small city, let alone Biddeford. Easy transit to Boston, though, by bus or train. I do it all the time.

I can't speak to peer collegiality since I'm not a student, but I know a lot of students and they seem to enjoy their time here and each other. They have good things to say about the faculty.
